4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,160

Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be absolute. Jam Pack showed

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: to Night In about fifteen minutes, Chad Andrews from Denver

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: one oh four point three to fan joins us, I

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: want to give him his flowers. He correctly predicted on

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: this sh show that Denver would not only sweep the Lakers,

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: but it didn't really matter who they faced in the finals,

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Boston or Miami. They would take care of business, and

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: they did. Given what took place in the draft and

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: the trades want to get Chad Stoughts. And by the way,

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: for just weeks away from NFL camp and the Sean

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Payton are a lots happening in Denver. Top of the hour,

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Medina Magic, all things NBA. Of course at

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: two am Pacific, five am Eastern, the Dance Sensation sweep

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: of the Nation would kind of brand new fool you

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: followed by what my name? It just never ends here, folks,

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: We're going to try to get it all in in

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: four hours. That's what we do. But first, what a

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: difference a year makes. Wasn't that long ago that the

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: owner of the Cincinnati Reds, the president Phil Castellini, had

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: a very clear message to any fans who thought his

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: family needed to sell the team. He basically said, if

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: you know get on board with this current ownership, baseball

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: will be leaving Cincinnati. He said, quote, where the hell

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: are you gonna go sell the team to? Who? He

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: said it on seven hundred WLW via the Cincinnati Inquiry.

38
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: He said, you really want to have this debate. What

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: would you do with this team to have it be

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: more profitable, make more money, compete in the current economic

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: system in this game? You know how this game exists?

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: I would be for me to pick it up, move

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: somewhere else, be careful what you asked for. So it

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: was easy to see why the Reds fans were upset

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: with the organization. And to be fair, since the Castellini

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: family purchased the Reds back in twenty oh six, which

47
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: they did for about two hundred and seventy million, the

48
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: team's had ten losing seasons. They only made the playoffs

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: four times in seventeen years, haven't won a postseason series,

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: and just two to nine in the playoffs. Even this

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: year had carried over. Reds were drawing about seven thousand

52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: a game, but they actually sold out Friday and Saturday nights.

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: Told you the opposite of love is not hate, its indifference. Unfortunately,

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: nothing lasts forever. The Reds twelve game winning streak did

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: come to an end Saturday night. The Reds lost to

56
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: the Braves seven to six at the Great American Ballpark,

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: But like so many other games in this crazy stretch,

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: it came down to the last out. What if I

59
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: told you that this season alone. This season, the Cincinnati

60
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Reds have twenty six come from behind wins and trailed

61
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: at some point in seven of the games. During that

62
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: twelve game winning streak, and right on queue tonight or

63
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Saturday night, the Reds fell behind to Atlanta and the

64
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: second inning, and although they were within a run several times,

65
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: they could never quite get over the hump, even after

66
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: hitting back to back home runs in the bottom of

67
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: the ninth against the Raves and their closer, resel Iglesias, who,

68
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: by the way, conveniently is a former Cincinnati Red. The

69
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: Reds started the street went back on June tenth in

70
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Saint Louis, beating the Cardinals eight to four. Now, at

71
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 2: that time before the game, Cincinnati entered the game twenty

72
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: nine and thirty five, and they were firmly entrenched in

73
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: third place in the National League Central, not a great division.

74
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: With the loss though, the Reds forty one and thirty six,

75
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: but they still lead the L Central by one and

76
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: a half games thanks to the Brewers losing in Cleveland.

77
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: Can they sustain this, because when you take a look

78
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: at how the Reds won the twelve in a row,

79
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: sure as hell wasn't pitching, that's for sure. You had

80
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: to have so many come from behind wins. Well, you

81
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: come from behind because you fall behind so often. That

82
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: was always my beef about Matt Stafford, but the only

83
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: get started on that again. Maybe I will get started

84
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: on that again, but not tonight. The team's top two starters,

85
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: Hunter Green and Nicolodolo, well they're currently on the injured list.

86
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: They did this with their top two starters. Now, Green

87
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: did make two starts. Actually, Graham Ashcraft, who started the

88
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: season the rotation, he came off the aisle Saturday. He

89
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: took the loss. Now, although the starters have struggled, give

90
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: it up to the offense. I'm not saying this team's

91
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: the big red machine. Actually, I think this team could

92
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: beat the big Red machine. Of course, you got to

93
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: remember most of those guys who are in their seventies. Now,

94
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: thank you for that mark. Where were you, buddy? That's

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: one of my better ones, all right. Although the starters

96
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: have struggled, the offense, I said, has been prolific. Six

97
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: point six runs per game. That's a lot, even in

98
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: this man's major leagues. So then enter rookie Sensation Led Cruz.

99
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: This guy's worth the price of admission. Come on, man.

100
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: He came up right before the start of the streak,

101
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: right before he was a big part of the team's efforts.

102
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: Hit for the cycle on Friday, the first time the

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: Reds that a player for the Cincinnati Reds hit for

104
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: the cycle since nineteen eighty nine. If you're scoring at home,

105
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: it was Eric Davis Crenshaw Highs. Eric Davis, same high

106
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: school as Darryl Strawberry, but I digress. Of the twelve wins,

107
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: six were by one run, and again, closer Alexistias picked

108
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: up seven saves during the run. So they had to

109
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: fight for these things, right. He had three other pitchers,

110
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: Ricky Karcher, Alex Young, and former Detroit Tiger legend Buck

111
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: Farmer earning saves not exactly Murderer's row. So what's next

112
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: for the Reds? Now, everybody's spoiled. All of the twelve

113
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: wins eight games were against last place teams, and the Cardinals, Royals,

114
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: and Rockies still Major League teams, but last place teams.

115
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: But the Reds miraculously did have sweep in Houston. They

116
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: won the first game at home against the Braves, who

117
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: are currently the NL's top team. Now, the schedule doesn't

118
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: get any easier. The team only plays two teams with

119
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: losing records between now and the All Star break, but

120
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: they do get to host of stinky padres next weekend,

121
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: and they do head to Washington in the first week

122
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: of July. But again, sometimes if you didn't have bad luck,

123
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have any luck. You wouldn't The Reds had

124
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: another starter, Ben Lively. He went on the ale before

125
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: Saturday's game. They don't expect Green or Lodolo back before August.

126
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: Your top two pitchers and another starter, Ben Lively now

127
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: in the ile. Now the bullpen's been great during the stretch,

128
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: but it's been heavily utilized, all right, but the offense

129
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 2: remains legitimate, especially when Joey Vatdo you got Joey Vado

130
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: batting six, then he's a former MVP Now he returned

131
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: from his shoulder surgery that he got last August. He had

132
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: three home runs his first five games back that energize

133
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: the team. He had two Friday end over the Braves

134
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: and then Friday again, which was one of the more

135
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: sensational wins that the Reds had in this streak. They

136
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: come back from a five to nothing deficit to beat

137
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: Atlanta and actually the trail by four runs at one

138
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: point Saturday, but still almost got it done. So you've

139
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: got four rookies who've contributed greatly day La Cruz shortstop

140
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: on the name of Matt McClain, an outfielder Spencer Steer,

141
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: and one other starter, Andrew Abbott. The Reds still have

142
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: other guys who could come up. They have a couple

143
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: of studs in the minor leagues which no one's seen play,

144
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: kind of like Victor Wimbergianna. But you know, we know

145
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: he's gonna be the greatest of all time. He might,

146
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: but it's funny how people repeat that. They just hear it,

147
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: they repeat it. You know he's going to be the greatest. Well, actually,

148
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: the Reds have a couple interfielders, Christian and Carnacion Strand

149
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: can you shorten it name a little? And Connor Phillips

150
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: he's a right handed pitcher. They could come up and

151
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: maybe do some real damage, you know, like Victor Wimbiano,

152
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: Victor Chumbowamba. This is what I about the group take

153
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: echo chamber. Somebody introduces phraseology and then we just all repeated.

154
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: I ran and someone hadn't seen it in a while.

155
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: That told me they got a new rescue dog. I

156
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: hate the term rescue dog. Did you actually rescue the dog?

157
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: Did you rescue the dog from a burning building. Did

158
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: you dive into an alligator swamp while wearing your best

159
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: tuxedo with zero regard for your personal safety? No? No,

160
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: you went into a past store and he said, we'll

161
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: take that one. Because he's looking at us and staring

162
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: at us, and he looks sad, just like we did.

163
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: We have a rescue dog too, but I didn't rescue him.

197
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: you hear him on one O four point three defen

198
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: in Denver and on denversports dot Com. Very good at

199
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: what he does, and I'm going to give him his

200
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: flowers on the Denver Nuggets, but first I want to

201
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: introduce him. Say hello to Chad Andrews chat. How are you, Buddy?

202
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 6: Good evening, Bernie. It's spent a pretty fun week. I

203
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 6: think we're finally pasted our parade celebration and moving on.

204
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: Well, I want to start by giving you your flowers.

205
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: You came on my show when Denver had a two

206
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: zip lead on the Lakers. You correctly predicted they would

207
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: not only sweep the Lakers, but regardless of who their

208
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: opponent was in the NBA Finals, Boston or Miami, they

209
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: would take care of business. It was not smug or condescending.

210
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: You very analytically broke down in the succinct fashion where

211
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: the mismatches were so props to you, which begs the question.

212
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: And I'm going to lead the witness because Denver, to me,

213
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: feels poised to be right back there again next year.

214
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 2: What is the prevailing thought running through the facility.

215
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 6: I think they're very confident. I think they're building something,

216
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 6: and they have been building for quite a while to

217
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 6: maximize their opportunity in the Djokichera in the Yokichera.

218
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: Right.

219
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 6: I don't know that that necessarily is going to mean

220
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 6: any type of repeat or three peede or anything like that,

221
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 6: but I think they are definitely focused and pretty confident

222
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 6: in the fact that they've got a really good chance

223
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 6: to win two maybe three over the course of five

224
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,359
Speaker 6: or six years. Something in that regard.

225
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: Entirely possible because you've got the big four raws i'll say,

226
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: under contract, so from there you can build further should

227
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: you need. Seems like you drafted pretty well. But let's

228
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: let's unpackt this for just a second, because you've seen

229
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: what's taken place over the past week. Very busy and

230
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: if you look at on paper, who would theoretically be your,

231
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: you know, two top challengers. Let's say the Phoenix sounds yeah,

232
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: they got this new saying in Phoenix, I'm I'm dubbing it.

233
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: Try the beal. It's not gonna work, Mark my words,

234
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: it's not gonna work. So but let's hear from you.

235
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: Do you think Phoenix got better or closed the gap

236
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: between where they were last year versus the Denver Nuggets.

237
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 6: I think there's a chance they got better. I don't

238
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: know if it closes the gap a whole lot, I will.

239
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 6: I will defend the Suns in this regard. They've seen

240
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 6: what Denver did to the Lakers, who were great defensively

241
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 6: after the trade line in the end of the season.

242
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 6: They saw what they did to a great defensive Miami

243
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 6: Heat team and Phoenix. I think knew that they were

244
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 6: never ever, ever going to get to a point where

245
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 6: they're going to slow down a Jokic led Denver offense,

246
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 6: so they went all in on trying to figure out

247
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 6: a way to outscore them. I don't think it's going

248
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 6: to work, but I understand the thinking when it happens,

249
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 6: because that is the one thing that the NBA is

250
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 6: faced with solving now is no one has slowed down

251
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 6: Denver Miami. It looked at times like they did because

252
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 6: the games weren't as high scoring, but all they did

253
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 6: was reduce the total number of possessions. It didn't slow

254
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 6: down the points per possession, with Denver still putting up

255
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 6: numbers that were in the one A teams, the one

256
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 6: to twenties, the one to twenty fours throughout the course

257
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 6: of the season. So I think if you start looking

258
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 6: how teams are going to try to compete and either

259
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 6: take them out in the West or or potentially in

260
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 6: the finals. They're going to have to find a way

261
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 6: to match them scoring because we've seen every good defense

262
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 6: and it doesn't matter.

263
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: We'll talk with Chad Andrews one oh four point three

264
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: the fan in Denver a salient point brought up by

265
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: you six weeks ago. We must have an esp or something,

266
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: because I felt the same. They the Nuggets averaged one

267
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: hundred and eighteen points per one hundred possessions, and so

268
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: the false narrative was will slow them down. But like

269
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: you said, well they'll just beat you one o four

270
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: to ninety three, which is exactly what they did. Now,

271
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: I had the good privilege of covering the Pistons in

272
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: the Chuck Daily are and then, of course, said Larry Brown,

273
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: real defensive teams Denver had tremendous defensive chemistry. I don't

274
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: see that in Phoenix. I know that Frank Vogel is

275
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: a defensive minded genius. I'll give him that. I'll give

276
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: him that, Moniker. But did Bradley Beil all of a

277
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: sudden desire to play defense recently and I missed it?

278
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's going to be the challenge, right is

279
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 6: getting guys who do it in, getting guys who buy

280
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 6: in the play team defense and still being able to

281
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 6: match Senver offense. And that's what they have been finally

282
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 6: able to unlock. With a healthy rotation with Jamal Murray

283
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 6: and Michael Porter being healthy on the court, with Aaron

284
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 6: Gordon and KCP Bruce Brown coming off the bench, you know,

285
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 6: could be a major loss that they will have to

286
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,239
Speaker 6: fill that gap next year. But I think when teams

287
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 6: in a copycat league start to look at it going forward,

288
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 6: they're going to have to figure out ways to match

289
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: scoring with Denver, but they're also going to have to

290
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 6: figure out ways to throw multiple bigs at Jokic to

291
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 6: at least give him different looks, give him fouls, try

292
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: to beat him up a little bit, try to really

293
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 6: exhaust him as much as possible. And if you go

294
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 6: back to the last time they had made a conference

295
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 6: finals and lost, that's exactly what the Lakers had when

296
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 6: they beat them in the Bubble because that was a

297
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 6: roster that had Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee and Anthony Davis,

298
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 6: So you had multiple long, huge seven footers that were

299
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 6: good defenders, and I think if you're going to seriously

300
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: contend with this team or have to deal with them

301
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 6: going forward, you're going to have to try to replicate

302
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 6: something like that if you're gonna have any hopes of

303
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 6: slowing him down, which would lead to slowing the offense.

304
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: Down defenders with great length and great rim protectors, which

305
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: is a perfect seguay to my Golden State observation. Ostensibly

306
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: they would be another team that might challenge you. Death

307
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: taxes and Chris Paul getting hurt during the playoffs of

308
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: it matters most. I've been joking all week. Remember Chris

309
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: Paul and Steph Curry. They've combined for four championships, so

310
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: you can't write them off, right, But how do they

311
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: get on their floor? How are they better? I think

312
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: your I think Denver is a nightmare matchup for Golden State,

313
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: and how Golden State is constructed, I get it. I

314
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: give them credit. The Jonathan kaminga Jordan Poole experiment didn't work,

315
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: but your thoughts on Golden State and did they close

316
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: the gap on Denver?

317
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 6: I don't think they did. And so what's funny about

318
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 6: it here, Bernie, is when when Denver changed under Calvin

319
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 6: Booth this last year, bringing in Contavious Caldwell Pelp and

320
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 6: bringing in Bruce Brown and making a shift. It was

321
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 6: so they could compete with Golden State in the postseason

322
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 6: and try to get some sort of perimeter defense to

323
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 6: slow down the guards, and then they didn't have to

324
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 6: play them. And now I think they've they've kind of

325
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 6: ascended to a point where everybody's got to shoot for them.

326
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 6: Golden State is older, they still don't have size to

327
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 6: match up. And you know, I think everybody believes Draymond

328
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: Green is going to come back after Jordan Poole has gone,

329
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 6: and I think most people see that as a foregone conclusion.

330
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 6: But what if Mike Brown, former assistant coach, who has

331
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 6: a great relationship with right up the street Sacramento, who

332
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 6: has over thirty million dollars to spend, somehow works their

333
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 6: way in there. Then Golden State has been really big trouble.

334
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 6: So you know, I'm never going to count out Steph Curry.

335
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 6: He is an all time great player as a generational player,

336
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 6: and he has had a defining era in the NBA

337
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 6: that has changed the game. But I don't think the

338
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 6: Denver Nuggets fear of the Warriors at this point, I

339
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 6: don't think they're concerned with anybody in the Western Conference.

340
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: I have to concur so any thoughts on the Lakers

341
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: and maybe Sacramento perhaps taking the next step in twenty

342
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: twenty four.

343
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 6: You know, for the Lakers, what what is the next step?

344
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 6: Does that mean beating the Nuggets and going to the

345
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 6: final step?

346
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: Yeah?

347
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah? So how are they going to pull that off?

348
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 7: You know?

349
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 6: How how are things going to change there after being swept?

350
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 6: I mean, they were competitive in all four games, but

351
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 6: Lebron is going to be older, Anthony Davis is going

352
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 6: to be older, and Denver has a chance to be

353
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 6: better they really do, with Christian Brown in the second year,

354
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 6: maybe Peyton Watson getting a chance to play. I think

355
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 6: at least two of the rookies they played might have

356
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 6: an outside shot of playing. I don't know if that'll

357
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 6: happen to playoffs, but certainly during the regular season. You know.

358
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 6: So for the Lakers, it's it's tough. You know, you

359
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 6: don't want to count out Lebron. He's got the skins

360
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 6: on the wall, but he's going to be thirty nine

361
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 6: years old, So you know, I'm not so sure about that. Sacramento.

362
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: I really like what they've done there and they've transformed

363
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 6: the culture. And Mike Brown as a fantastic coach, But

364
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 6: as great as Sabonis is and as dynamic as they

365
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 6: can be on offense, he's not as big as Jokic.

366
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 6: He doesn't have the touch that Jokic has. He's not

367
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 6: as good of a passer, even though he's a great passer.

368
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 6: Daron Fox is an amazing player, He's electric, but he's

369
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 6: not the shooter Jamal Murray is. So how are they

370
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 6: going to make that leap? And again, a team that

371
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 6: can score a lot of points, but are they going

372
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 6: to outscore Denver who can also defend?

373
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 2: Outstanding man, you're a gentleman, so you won't rite off

374
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: lebron but I will. I think the Lakers peaked last

375
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: year and they caught lighting a bottle. I really do.

376
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: Let's look ahead real quickly. We're just weeks away from

377
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: NFL training camp. It's my understanding Sean Payton has already

378
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: had a fairly significant impact on the culture in San

379
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: Bronco headquarters. Can you speak to.

380
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 6: That absolutely outside of what came out, I would say

381
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 6: what early this week with Russell Wilson's posting a social

382
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 6: media video of a workout, you have not seen anything

383
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: on social media from not only him and his team,

384
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 6: but anyone around the Denver Broncos. Mum is the word.

385
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 6: He's actually encouraged the rookies to try to give the

386
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 6: most dry, generic quotes that they could when they were

387
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 6: made available to media, and he would offer rewards for that.

388
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 6: During rookie Mini camp. It has been locked down there

389
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 6: so much so to the point that our understanding is

390
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 6: there will be no live radio shows at Broncos training camp,

391
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 6: and that will be the first time that's ever happened.

392
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: We've always had all.

393
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: Day shows live from camp during practice with players coming

394
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: on before and after from as long as I've been here,

395
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: from way before my time here back to the early

396
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 6: Mike Shanahan days. That is not going to happen. There's

397
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: not going to be any live media broadcasts during camp.

398
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 6: So it is a very for an attitude. It's a

399
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 6: very different approach in terms of we are shutting things

400
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: down internally and we will let you know what we

401
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 6: think you need to know and nothing more.

402
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: Chad outstanding stuff as always, and I really appreciate you

403
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: staying up late in Denver. I'm sorry about your Rockies tonight, but.

404
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 6: They're my Rocky Bernie. That's the thing for for the

405
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: national audience. Now that we finally have an NBA title,

406
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 6: and we've got three super Bowl championships, and we've got

407
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 6: three Stanley Cups, the Rockies are not on the level

408
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 6: of the other three teams here. They're an amusement the

409
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 6: way any of the museums or the city parks or

410
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 6: meow Wolf Interactive activities are. There's something to do because

411
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 6: we have beautiful weather in a great stadium in the summer.

412
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 6: No one takes them seriously as a sporting entity or

413
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 6: a competitive baseball club.

414
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: I retract the statement your honor. That's what I get

415
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: for reaching for a laugh line. All right, my man,

416
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: great to have you. We'll get you on again. Outstanding stuff, Chad.

417
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 2: Enjoy the rest of your week, and thank you.

418
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 6: Oh thanks, Berdi.

419
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 2: That is Chad Andrews one oh four point three FM

420
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: in Denver and very much has his finger on the

421
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: pulse in Denver, the Denver media or checked at the

422
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: Denver sports taper stream. We'll get him on again during

423
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: football season for sure. Coming up Okay, you'd s in

424
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: all the papers. The Spurs took Victor Wembiniana wem Benyama

425
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: talking breakfast tacos. How does he really fit in in

426
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: San Antonio. Let's break it down, But first let's go

427
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: back to our guy, Kevin Wyatt with the latest.

428
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 8: I can't say I really blame him when it comes

429
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 8: to the Rockies with how they played tonight, the Angels

430
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 8: set a franchise record for runs scored in a game

431
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 8: against the Colorado Rockies. They beat him twenty five to one,

432
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 8: and they led twenty four to nothing after just four innings.

433
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 8: That's the all time record for most runs, at least

434
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 8: in the last fifty years, I should say the last

435
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 8: fifty years. That's the most run scored in the first

436
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 8: four of a game. So the Halo setting a new

437
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 8: franchise record in this twenty five to one win against

438
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 8: the Rockies. The previous record was twenty four runs. They

439
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 8: beat the Toronto Blue Jays back in nineteen seventy nine

440
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 8: to twenty four to two, and that was their all

441
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 8: time record before to night.

442
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: Griffin Canning, for his part.

443
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 8: Six shutout innings and seven strikeouts as the Halo's pitching

444
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 8: staff also getting it done. The Dodgers come from behind

445
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 8: to beat Houston eight to seven. They got the go

446
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 8: ahead run on a bock in the eighth inning. Alex

447
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 8: Brigman with a grand slam for Houston. The Giants are

448
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 8: really catching fire. They beat the Arizona Diamondbacks seven to six.

449
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 8: The Cubs dominate their rival, the Cardinals in London, nine

450
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 8: to one. The Reds twelve game winning streak comes to

451
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 8: an end. The Braves beat them seven to six, each

452
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 8: team with four home runs in that game. The Blue

453
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 8: Jays beat the Athletics seven to three. Kansas City came

454
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 8: from behind to beat the Tampa Bay Rays to four.

455
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 8: The Baltimore Orioles they homered in the tenth inning to

456
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 8: beat the Mariners six to four. The Marlins over the

00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 8: heated rivals, four to The Yankee shutout. The Rangers won nothing,

459
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 8: and in the College World Series, it's LSU with a

460
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 8: home run in the eleventh inning as they beat Florida

461
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 8: to take and take the opener of the College World Series.

462
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 8: Final score in that one four to three. NBA Rookie

463
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 8: of the Year Paolo were At. Doncheneral will reportedly play

464
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 8: for the US at this summer's Basketball World Cup. The

465
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 8: official selections have yet to be announced by managing director

466
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 8: Grant Hill.

467
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: Becovie Burney, all right, thanks, Kevin, all right.

468
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: So Victor Chumbawamba is a spur. He's already been voted

469
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame, and so he doesn't need

470
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: to play, all right, I'm kidding, But we are all

471
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: waiting to see how he fits in in San Antonio

472
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 2: with respect to the productivity he has, how Greg Popovich

473
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: uses him, how slowly or they bring him along relatively speaking,

474
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: and what impact he has in terms of wins and losses.

475
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: And look, I was an intern at the Forum. I

476
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: saw Magic Johnson walk Bini in October of seventy nine.

477
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh my god, six foot nine point guard.

478
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: Magic completely turned the franchise around. The year before Okay, Kream,

479
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: Abdul Jabbar was a punchline in the Airline and the

480
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: Airplane movie. The Lakers stunk, they were not a good team. Magic,

481
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: by his sheer force of personality and ability and making

482
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: everybody around him better, won a championship his first year.

483
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not expecting women, you know how to do any

484
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 2: of that, but I would. I want to see what

485
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: he can do. And I'm not a kill joy. Had

486
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: some folks tweet at me last night, this guy's legit.

487
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? And that's fair. I appreciate the opinions.

488
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: Tweet at me, tell me what you think, but we

489
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: got to see it. Okay, we've got to see it.

490
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: I remember in nineteen ninety nine, I was covering the

491
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: TPC Deer in Dearborn and I was interviewing Jack Nicholas. Actually,

492
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: excuse me. It was nineteen ninety seven. It was in

493
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: the summer. Tiger had already won his first major, He'd

494
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: won the Masters by about seventeen strokes for crying aloud,

495
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: and I asked Jack, I said, is Tiger gonna break

496
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: all your records? And he goes, yeah, he is, but

497
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: he's still got to do it. I want to see

498
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: what his life looks like when he's had his first

499
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 2: major injury, after he's married and he has kids. Well,

500
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: ten years later, twelve years later, you saw what happen

501
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine. Tiger's had a lot of

502
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: injuries and he's had a brilliant career. But he didn't

503
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: pass Jack, so the Spurs he takes gen Benyama. He

504
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: was the consensus choice to be the first. I mean,

505
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: no one can deny that. Seven five. He had a

506
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: good year with his French professional team, the Metropolitans ninety

507
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: two averaged about twenty one and ten, and the Spurs

508
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: had the draft lottery. But here's the deal. None of

509
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: us have ever really seen him play. Don't act like

510
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 2: you have. Forget the ten second highlights. That doesn't count.

511
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: I saw him in one G League game here in

512
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. He scored thirty six. Is he's skillful. Absolutely,

513
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: he can bactoruble, shoot, block shots, rebound, nice touch, nice release,

514
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: all those things. What's it gonna look like? Ninety four feet,

515
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: eighty two games bang, fight through picks, stop, start, run, jump,

516
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 2: eighty two games against NBA talent. We haven't. You haven't

517
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: seen him play. Now he may, he may become one

518
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: of the greatest of all time and when not one,

519
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: not two, not three, but seven championships. But for now

520
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: we're relying on the group think echo chamber in the

521
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: opinions of reporters and scouts. And that's fine, but in

522
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: truth I need more and the truth of the matter

523
00:28:54,120 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: is we don't know. Now I actually saw, and I'm

524
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: not gonna concede the fact that he's the most hyped

525
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: Women Yama is the most hyped player of all time.

526
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: It had to be Lebron. He was the chosen one.

527
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: He was in the cover of Sports Illustrated. You kept

528
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: hearing about him. He had the massive deal with Nike

529
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: before he even played a game in the NBA. So

530
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: I was living in Detroit at the time. I was

531
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: living in Novaia, Michigan, and I said, I gotta drive

532
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: down see this guy. Two hour drive to Cleveland, Saint Vincent,

533
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's. I saw him play in person. I walked in,

534
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: I said, ooh, first thing I noticed was his body,

535
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: and the dude's got an NBA body. If I didn't

536
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: know any better, I think he was a linebacker. I

537
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: think he was on his way to Notre Dame to

538
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: play football. So body was not an issue. Women Yama

539
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: seven to five, You tell me there have been seven

540
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: players in the history of the NBA seven to five,

541
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: only one average ten points a game. That's y'all mean,

542
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm not casting aspersions on Wimin Yama. On speaking facts,

543
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: willmen Yama. Wait, he may break that mold Lebron's body,

544
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: his frame. I said, you know what, he looked to

545
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: me like a guy you could stick in an NBA

546
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: game and he'd be okay. And that was six months

547
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: before he played in an NBA game, eight months before he

548
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: played an NBA game. Then I looked at his handles.

549
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 2: I said, well, this dude's got guard skills, and he

550
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: was very unselfish, and he had great vision, and he

551
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: was distributing the ball amongst his teammates, and he probably

552
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: could have averaged fifty a game if he'd wanted to,

553
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: but he played within the team concept. So I said

554
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: to myself, you could stick this guy in an NBA game.

555
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: And he competed in his rookie year, but he didn't

556
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: move the needle much the way you might think. He

557
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: did a couple years later he did. So why am

558
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: I bringing up Lebron? Because what are we hearing? Women?

559
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: Yama is the best draft prospect to enter the NBA

560
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: since Lebron James's. They're telling us he's a franchise changer.

561
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: He led the French league in rebounds and blocks and

562
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: was second in points. Okay, that's pretty good. Because that's

563
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: a good league and it's physically but it's not the NBA.

564
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: It's twenty percent of the NBA. Now, you cannot not

565
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: look at him and realize and project that he's got

566
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: incredible long term, long term potential on both ends of

567
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: the floor. But it's all theoretical. He's going to step

568
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: on the floor in October and it'll be the biggest

569
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: longest player in the NBA. So that allows him to

570
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: change the geometry of the court defensively. I get it

571
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: and in what we hear, and again I'm not going

572
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 2: to judge it on one G League game. They say,

573
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: and I have to believe these people that wembin Yama

574
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: has great instincts and great recovery ability on the end.

575
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: But he's also the scouted. The scouts say he's a

576
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: legitimate shot creator. He can play center, he can score

577
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: off the bounce, he can create his own shot, he

578
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: can pull up, he can drive to the rim. He's

579
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: a great finisher because of his length and touch, and

580
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: he's starting to experiment with shots you know that could

581
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: make him special, like turn around pull ups and fake

582
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: shimmy's and floaters. To me, the greatest shot of all

583
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: time was Lebar Jabbar skyhook. It was indefensible, greatest shot

584
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: of all time. Forget it. Once he stretched that arm out,

585
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: he's about twelve feet in the air and it's impossible

586
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: to block and really impossible to defend. Right, So wemben

587
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: and Yama. You know, I'm gonna start calling him Chumbawamba

588
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: because when I say wimb and Yama, I don't like

589
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: the way it comes out of my mouth. We got

590
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: to get a nickname for this guy, So for now

591
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: it's Chumbawamba. They're mentioning them among the great names like

592
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: Bill Walton. Come on, man won't won two titles at UCLA.

593
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: Scored forty four points against Memphis, twenty one to twenty

594
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: two from the floor. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the Kima, Lajuwan

595
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: Patrick Ewing, Ralph Sampson, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, no pressure,

596
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: and the guy's nineteen years old. So how does he fit?

597
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: He fits. He could probably fit with any team. He's

598
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: a fit. I would say, here's how he fits. In

599
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: San Antonio. They're gonna build around him. Uh will surround

600
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: him with stronger players, and they don't. You don't have

601
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: a bunch of stars, but guys like Devin Vessel and

602
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: Kelden Johnson, they're pretty good wings, they're high level. They're

603
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: not great defenders yet, and so he's going to be

604
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: a you know, tremendous fit next to Jeremy Silchan in

605
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: the front court. And uh, you know, they these guys

606
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: will fill gaps and they'll play basketball with the concept

607
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: that san Antonio teaches, right, And what's interesting is wem

608
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, we don't know a lot about him. Chumble Wombo.

609
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: He's been considered one of the best prospects in his

610
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: age group, probably since he came out of the womb

611
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: and he comes from pretty good stock. His father, Felix,

612
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: he was six foot six. He still is six foot six.

613
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: He was a high level long jumper. It's pretty good

614
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: athleticism that shows that prop most likely Chumblewomba, you know

615
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: inherited that explosion as it were. His mother, a Lodie.

616
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: She's six foot three. She played basketball and she basically

617
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: taught Victor the game. Has a couple of other siblings.

618
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: They both played basketball as well at a very high level.

619
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: So he really emerged as an elite prospect three years

620
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: ago during the U sixteen European Championships, actually four years ago,

621
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 2: he was only fifteen years old. He averaged nine points,

622
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: ten rebounds, and five blocks a game. You have to

623
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: have awareness and ability to do that. So as the

624
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 2: hype continues to build abound, Victor heading into the draft,

625
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: and you know him and of course Scoot Henderson, and

626
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: this is the game I was at back in September,

627
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: just many months ago. Obviously, the NBA put together a

628
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: showcase game for Victor and Scoot Henderson. Henderson played for

629
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: the Henderson G League Ignite. I live in Henderson, Nevada,

630
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: about eight minutes from that arena, and I will tell

631
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 2: you that the scouts were their tongues around the floor

632
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: because he scored thirty seven points and then he scored

633
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: thirty six points the next night and grabbed eleven rebounds

634
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 2: and put up really sensational numbers. But again it was

635
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: against G league teams. Let's see what he does in

636
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: the NBA. He might, he might, you know, live up

637
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 2: to the hype. I'm just not willing to dive into

638
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: the group think echo chamber and predict it like it's

639
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: a foregone conclusion. There is one thing, though, that Victor

640
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: wembin Yama is excited about not one, not two, not seven.

641
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: He's excited about breakfast tacos. We're hearing a lot about

642
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: breakfast tacos in San Antonio. What the hell are breakfast tacos?

643
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 2: I know what breakfast burritos are, but why is he

644
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: so excited about breakfast tacos? Coming up, I will take

657
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff to get to to mean, I'm

658
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: going to get to the breakfast taco phenomenon, but a

659
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: couple of things I wanted to get off my chest

660
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: with respect to If you don't believe the NBA is

661
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: changing in a couple of ways, check this out. Thursday

662
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: nights draft. Four of the top five picks did not

663
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: play college basketball. Remember Wemby, he's from France and he

664
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 2: did play you know, one or two he took play

665
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: two games with the G League at night here at

666
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: Henderson in the G League. The Thompson Twins, they didn't

667
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: play in college. They played for overtime Elite, and they

668
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: shunned the college route. And you know, this is a

669
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: trend I think will probably continue because players more and

670
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: more often aren't heard to get to the NBA and

671
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: if those gifted few are able to cut the monsters

672
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: as it were, and take the risk and be drafted

673
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: the first round. This is the path. This is the path.

674
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: I get it. College maye. You know, for some programs,

675
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: it's a way station that the NBA wanted done that

676
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But the planet matter is you feel

677
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 2: the game changing. Just review some of the drafts in

678
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: the past, go back a few years and see, you

679
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: know what the college ranks were producing versus now where

680
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: they're coming into the international sport. So again, four to five,

681
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 2: top five didn't even play in college. The second thing,

682
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: because of the way the NBA has changed. Three of

683
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 2: the best players in college basketball went unpicked. Adam Sinogo

684
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: from Yukon. He's a national champion, Oscar sheib Way from

685
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: Kentucky former player of the Year, Andrew Timmy, a first

686
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 2: team All American Gonzaga. Three very good college players weren't

687
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: even picked to play in the National Basketball Association. I'm

688
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: sure they'll end up in somebody's camp. But look, Nicole

689
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: Jokic is a bit of a unicorn. They can try

690
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: to copy that. But what makes him so great is

691
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,479
Speaker 2: his ability to score, pass. He plays like a guard.

692
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: He's got guard skills. He just happens to be big

693
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: and strong, and not all big, strong guys like that

694
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: can do those things with the basketball and produce the

695
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: incredible consistent results. For my money, he's a three time MVP.

696
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: I don't care what Kendrick Perkins says. Finds the spot

697
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: to lie. He earned it, and he closed it out

698
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: with a champion. And I think Denver's gonna be right

699
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 2: back next year. All right, Breakfast tacos. Wemby's excited breakfast tacos.

700
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 2: It turns out are the prime Joy of San Antonio.

701
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 2: You'll find them on every Takarious morning menu in round Town.

702
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: It's basically a breakfast plate wrapped in a flour tortilla,

703
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: and they consist of, well, you get to pick, I

704
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: suppose any combination of refried beans, eggs, chariso, potatoes, bacon, cheese,

705
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: among other fillings. So Wenby's already had one. Maybe that'll

706
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 2: become a new pregame meal. What the hell, maybe it'll

707
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: be my new pregame meal. I want to try one

708
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: one of these days. I'm not as excited about it

709
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: as Wemby is, but there you have it. Breakfast tacos.

710
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: We just demystified what breakfast tacos are. So there you go.

711
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: Here we go, Medina Magic coming up. Keep it locked.

719
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: Way tire buying should be. To say that there was

720
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: a lot of activity in the NBA these past ten

721
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: days would be a gross understatement. And that is exactly

722
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: why every Saturday at midnight it's that time. Oh you know, Mark,

723
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: every week we do this segment. It's like what will

724
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: the news bring? And it never fails to disappoint. And

725
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 2: so really was looking forward to having you on tonight

726
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: before we get to the draft stuff and get your thoughts.

727
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 2: What I'd really like to do is get your thoughts

728
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: on some of the other player movement that took place.

729
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: To me, that's bigger news because I'm looking at this

730
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets and if you look around the Western Conference,

731
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody made up any ground to get

732
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: closer to knocking them off. Your thoughts, Yeah.

733
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 7: I completely agree. Now, there is still a complete off

734
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 7: season for teams to try to load up, and that

735
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 7: is called free agency, which will begin on June thirtieth,

736
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 7: that six pm Eastern. But yeah, right now I think

737
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 7: it's things stand. I would put the Denver Nuggets as

738
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 7: a favorite to repeat as champions. They just have that

739
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 7: perfect combination of star talent in Nikola Joka, show Lesser extension,

740
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 7: Paul Murray, a lot of good depth of role players

741
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 7: like in Aaron Gordon, Contavious Caldwell, Pope a, Bruce Brown,

742
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 7: a lot of good head coaching and Michael Malone and

743
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 7: good continuity. And that really explains why they want the championship. Now,

744
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 7: you know, teams like the Phoenix Suns, maybe they're they're

745
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 7: in the mix after the Bradley Beal trade. We'll see

746
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 7: if Kawhi Leonard and Paul George can say healthy with

747
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 7: the Clippers, you know, with the Warriors, you know, they're

748
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 7: only a year removed from winning the title, and maybe

749
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 7: adding Chris Paul helps with that. But I agree with

750
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 7: you the separation between the Nuggets and everyone else is

751
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 7: still pretty deep, and I suspect that will be the

752
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 7: case even after free agency. But I think what makes

753
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 7: free agencies so fascinating, Bernie is that, you know, obviously

754
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 7: one of the agendas that happen is how do you

755
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 7: construct a roster to knock down the defending champs? So

756
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 7: today soon starting next week, for some teams to try

757
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 7: to do that, that's.

758
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: An excellent point. So let's Sendtack a couple of these individually,

759
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: because I've got a tongue in cheek joke that the

760
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: new thing in Phoenix's try the deal here and thank you.

761
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 7: Tip your servers well tonight. Bernie is on fire with the.

762
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 2: Joe Yes, yes, sir to show Saturday Hey in all

763
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: seriousness though, and I give a lot of credit to

764
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 2: matt Ishbia he's going for it. But did Bradley Beal

765
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: wake up and decide he wants to play defense? Now?

766
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: I don't believe the Sun's got better your thoughts. And

767
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: by the way, that's one A, one B is let's

768
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 2: assume maybe that there's a part B to this deal

769
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: and they bring in some other pieces parts your thoughts.

770
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think part A. Look, they upgrade relatively speaking.

771
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 7: You know, their problems aren't solved completely. But you know

772
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 7: Chris Paul, he's a future Hall of Fame point guard,

773
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 7: but he just hasn't been able to stay healthy the

774
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 7: past two postseasons. Bradley Beal he's had his own injury

775
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 7: concerns in recent seasons, but he's a lot younger and

776
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 7: I think for Max's o's he is going to fit

777
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 7: in fine with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and fairness to

778
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 7: Katie and Booker. They had a lot of great chemistry

779
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 7: even in the short time they played together last season.

780
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 7: But there certainly has to be a heart key to

781
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 7: this deal because they don't have any supporting cast outside

782
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 7: of DeAndre, and they don't have much defenders either, and

783
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 7: so I think the best play for them is see

784
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 7: what they can get and the DeAndre aid in trade,

785
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 7: and I think that will be the solution because he'll

786
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 7: probably be able to land, you know, a combination of

787
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 7: role players that's a filled positional need. So they're actually

788
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 7: a complete team. And I think it's fitting that they

789
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 7: hired Frank Vogel as head coach. He's a really good coach.

790
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 7: He's proven as winning a championship with the Lakers. He

791
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 7: has a lot of good defensive concepts. He prepares his

792
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 7: team well. But using the Lakers as a reference, they

793
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 7: want a championship in twenty twenty, missed the playoffs in

794
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three, and then was fired. You know what

795
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 7: happened between that time. In twenty twenty they had a

796
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 7: healthy team and they had a good, imbalanced roster. In

797
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three, they weren't healthy and they didn't have

798
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 7: any depth. And I think If the Suns don't have

799
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 7: a plan B there, they are very much in danger

800
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 7: of kind of repeating the Laker fiascos. In twenty twenty three,

801
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 7: talking with Mark Medina twenty twenty two.

802
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: Gotcha talking with Mark Medina, Medina Magic Are Fox Sports Radio,

803
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 2: All Things NBA Guru. All your points are very refutable.

804
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: But here's what I would counter with. The Suns have

805
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty three million committed to Bill Durant,

806
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: Booker and DeAndre Eighton. Now here's the kicker. Beal's do

807
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: forty seven million next season, and yes he's only thirty,

808
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: but over the next three years, that number jumps to

809
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: like fifty eight million. To me, that's the kind of

810
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: money that really is going to limit a legitimate trade

811
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: package that would make Phoenix a genuine championship caliber team.

812
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?

813
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, But I think that's that illustrates why

814
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 7: I think that they got a trade Deondreton now so

815
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 7: that the finances are manageable and that they have a

816
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 7: complete team, because if they stand pat with Deandreyden, I

817
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 7: think that he can be better this season. Because even

818
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 7: if Monti Williams doesn't necessarily deserve the majority to blame.

819
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 7: The reality is that relationship was fractured with these past

820
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 7: two postseason exits and DeAndre and just being frustrated with

821
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 7: his role. I think Frank Vogel, because he's a new coach,

822
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 7: maybe he can get more out of him and he'll

823
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 7: they'll be a better defensive team with him. But that's

824
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 7: only one player. They got to replace him with a

825
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 7: combination of players. So yeah, that's really what I'm getting at,

826
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 7: and it really reinforces I think the concerns you have

827
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 7: about the roster construction, Well.

828
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: Look ahead to June thirties, and of course you'll be

829
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: back next week as well, so we'll see as the

830
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 2: movement continues. All right, when it comes to three things

831
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: uncertain about in life, death taxes, and Chris Paul will

832
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 2: get hurt at the most opportunity, opportuny time, So he

833
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: goes to Golden State, and I honestly, Mark, with all

834
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 2: due respect, I can't, I really can't endorse this deal.

835
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: Although I will say this, Chris Paul and Steph Curry

836
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: have combined for four NBA championships, so I guess you

837
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: can't write him off, right.

838
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, that's you know, that's like saying that when

839
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 7: Will chamber And got the hundred point mark, that's you know,

840
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 7: his teammate and him combined for more than a hundred points. Ahi. Look,

841
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 7: I am skeptical of the deal only because I know

842
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 7: that even if Chris Paul does so many things right

843
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 7: with how he trains, how he diets, how he just

844
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 7: manages his body, he's going to be thirty eight years

845
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 7: old nineteenth season. But there is an avenue for it

846
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 7: to work. I understand why the Warriors made these moves,

847
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 7: and I'll list them off here. I mean, the reality

848
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 7: is they feel like, even with the concerns I have,

849
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 7: they have more depth than the Suns do, so they

850
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 7: can have him play a lesser role, presumably off the bench.

851
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 7: I think Chris Paul is amenable to that because this

852
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 7: is his chance to win a championship and he knows

853
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 7: where he's at in his career. The Warriors have a

854
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 7: really great medical staff as well, and they'll reduce his

855
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 7: workload because of the depth they have around him. But

856
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 7: I think everything else the reason why they made the deal.

857
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 7: You have to look at the contracts Shorten Poole. With

858
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 7: that extension, they're going to be severely over the luxury

859
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 7: tax and inhibit penalties starting next season, which would really

860
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 7: limit their ability to construct the rest of their rosters.

861
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 7: So that's partly why they trade him. And look, while

862
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 7: they'll never defend Draymond Green's punch, obviously, Jordan Poole did

863
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 7: nothing wrong to provoke that kind of reaction, the reality

864
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 7: is after that he was very inconsistent as a player,

865
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 7: and I think by trading, obviously to remove whatever lingering

866
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 7: awkwardness there was. I think you can also look at

867
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 7: through a positive lens that they got to the second

868
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 7: round despite of that, and that Jordan Poole had some

869
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 7: good moments. But from a basketball standpoint, clearly the Warriors

870
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 7: are leaning toward not just Draymond Green, who's going to

871
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 7: be a free agent, but leaning more toward their proven

872
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 7: all stars that have won championships. And so I think

873
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 7: with that there's a recipe for success, and Chris Paul

874
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 7: his no nonsense, you know, you know, workaholic demeanor will

875
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 7: really really fitting well with the Warriors. And so while

876
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 7: there might be extras and those adjustments, Chris Paul's a

877
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 7: pick and role player, Warriors are about baldmom and I

878
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 7: think that all those things will be sorted out. Really,

879
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 7: the thing that leaves me concerned is just the health.

880
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 7: But the Warriors will tell you, look, we're gonna take

881
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,720
Speaker 7: care of him a lot better because of his reduced

882
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 7: workload and because we have a lot more depth around

883
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 7: him that it'll be fine. But it's one of those

884
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 7: things that you can't ever truly control.

885
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what else concerns me, Mark, I don't

886
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 2: think Chris Paul is gonna be too amenable to coming

887
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 2: off the bench. He can smile and see all the

888
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 2: right things. I was in Detroit at the end of

889
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 2: Allen Iverson's career when he said all the right things.

890
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: But when reality hit, the rubber hit the road and

891
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: he had to come off the bench and had a

892
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: reduced role, he powdered and he was gone within weeks.

893
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's gonna happen with Chris Paul. I

894
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna like coming off the bench. Your thoughts, Yeah.

895
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 7: You know what, I slightly disagree here. I mean, look,

896
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 7: he's a competitor, he wants to play. Maybe there will

897
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 7: be time that you know he's thinking real man, I

898
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 7: would really like to close this game out but I

899
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 7: think that in fairness to Chris, he is someone who

900
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 7: has adjusted his game really well. And when you look

901
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 7: at his skill set, it's not about being the guy

902
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 7: like he is not a high volume shooter. He's very

903
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 7: efficient with his shots. He's more about being a playmaker.

904
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 7: And you know, I think that obviously his presence in

905
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 7: the locker room, as far as being the floor general

906
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 7: and the leader, that's going to take a little bit

907
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 7: of a sidestep. But I think that for the most part,

908
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 7: Chris is going to be fine with that because these

909
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 7: are guys that he respects. It's not like he's supplementing

910
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 7: his role for a bunch of young guys that don't

911
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 7: work hard. Right, Like these guys, as much as we

912
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 7: talk about the Warriors with the three point shooting and

913
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 7: their fancy kind of play, part of their culture is

914
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 7: being grinders and just really working hard, and that resonates

915
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 7: with Sup. So I think, like again role X's and O's,

916
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 7: I don't think for the most part, those are going

917
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 7: to be problems. Again, the concerns that I have is

918
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 7: the health part, because even if he's been doing everything correctly,

919
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 7: it's only around it. He's thirty eight years old. He's

920
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 7: gonna enter his nineteen season sometime when you're that age.

921
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 7: Father Time just jabs repeatedly. You can't do anything to

922
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 7: duck it, no.

923
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 2: Doubt about it, Father Time in gravity before I get

924
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 2: to the draft quickly, is there any scenario in which

925
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: you see that Draymond Green is not a Warrior and

926
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: could he get one hundred million? Like Steven ah Smith.

927
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 7: Says, I guess the market will say that, I wouldn't

928
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 7: be surprised if he is, and you know, kind of

929
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 7: the thirty million dollar range, and if you add up

930
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 7: more in a thirty or with a three year deal, yeah,

931
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 7: he could get to that. I think at the end

932
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 7: of the day, even with some complicated sausage making process

933
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 7: that is free agency, I think that both parties will

934
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 7: conclude they're better off with each other. Obviously, with the

935
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:53,479
Speaker 7: championship success, the Warriors offensive engine is really unique because

936
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 7: of Draymond as a playmaker, and certainly their defensive identity

937
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 7: is on Draymond defending all five positions. Even if Draymond

938
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 7: can have success on other winning teams, his real value

939
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 7: is just partly because of that Warrior's mix of familiarity

940
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 7: and the fact that He has great chemistry with Steph

941
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 7: Curry and Klay Thompson and obviously has a partnership with

942
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 7: Steve Kerr, and they can handle kind of the ups

943
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,439
Speaker 7: and downs of everything as both maniacal competitors they are.

944
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 7: But I think that in between, look, here's what Raymond's

945
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,479
Speaker 7: looking for. He wants to get more years, he wants

946
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 7: to get more money. He's going to value winning teams,

947
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 7: and he's also going to see if the Warriors are

948
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 7: going to be amenable to doing a sign in trade

949
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 7: if they also wind up saying, hey, your price tags

950
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 7: too much. Now, the Warriors at this point they're saying,

951
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 7: you know what, We're not doing sign and trade. We

952
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 7: want to keep them. And if he wants to leave,

953
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 7: he can go to a team that has cap space.

954
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 7: But I think at the end of the day, with

955
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 7: that back and forth, he'll wind up being in a

956
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 7: Warrior's uniform and we'll see if there's any kind of

957
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 7: compromise as far as that price tag goes, so that

958
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 7: Draymond feels like he's rewarded for what he's done in

959
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 7: the organization, and the Warriors felt like they were able

960
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 7: to save something because of all these luxury tax bills.

961
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 2: I'd be shocked if he's anywhere else but Gola State. Finally,

962
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: let's talk about the draft. We are in a very

963
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: much we are very much at a changing NBA. For

964
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 2: the top five players pick did not play in college. Conversely,

965
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 2: guys like Adam Sinogo and Oscar Sibway, Drew Timmy, three

966
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 2: very accomplished players, player of the Year, national champions, all Americans,

967
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: weren't even drafted. I know they'll all end up in camps.

968
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 2: Drew Timmy's already get signed by Milwaukee. What were your

969
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: biggest takeaways from the draft?

970
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 7: Mark, Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway was what we expected.

971
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 7: It was just cool to see victorre webman Ya might

972
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 7: get drafted one, even though with all the hype, he

973
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 7: just really soaked it in. He had some emotional moments

974
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 7: with his family, and I thought it was really put

975
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 7: the human touch on it that at the end of

976
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 7: the day, these are big moments for you know, young

977
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 7: players in their lives that don't remember forever. But as

978
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 7: far as the big picture takeaways, it was the order

979
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 7: between Brandon Millern, Scoot Henderson, Hornet Shraft in number two,

980
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 7: Blaser's drafted and Scoot at three. You know, there was

981
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 7: kind of a back and forth which order that would be,

982
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 7: But I think it's more about the Blazers drafting Scoot

983
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 7: as opposed to trading the pick, because that was something

984
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 7: that was to be considered, especially because Damian Lillard has

985
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 7: let it be known that he wants to have you know,

986
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 7: more experienced, established players around it because he's getting hungry

987
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 7: for that championship. But I think the Blazers sent a

988
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 7: clear message that while they do want to keep Damian

989
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,919
Speaker 7: Lillard and never want to trade him, ever, that they're

990
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 7: going to make basketball decisions that they feel like are

991
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 7: best for the organization. And so I'm curious, you know,

992
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 7: how that sits with Damien knowing that when you're playing

993
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 7: with young players, inevitably, even if Scoot Henderson seems NBA

994
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 7: ready with his playmaking, athleticism and skill, he's a rookie,

995
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 7: there's going to be, you know, some hiccups. He's not

996
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 7: the most polished shooter, so will this wear on his

997
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 7: patience level? But I think it's fairness to Portland. This

998
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 7: isn't like the last year's where they just spinning in

999
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 7: their wheels, adding you know, marginal role players that make

1000
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 7: a little difference. They have kind of established a nice

1001
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 7: young corps as well with Anthony Simons and Shadon Sharp.

1002
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 7: But I think, in Damien's defense, is that really enough

1003
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 7: to compete against the Western the rest of the conference teams?

1004
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 7: Not really. The Denver Nuggets are completely loaded, and when

1005
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 7: you look at teams like the Clippers and the Lakers

1006
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 7: and the Suns, you automatically have to think that they're

1007
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 7: going to be in the mix. And so whereas that

1008
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 7: leave Portland maybe just a dangerous playoffs team and nothing else.

1009
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 7: And that's been, you know, the Blazer story ever since

1010
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 7: Damian Loward's been with them.

1011
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 2: Scoot Henderson. I saw him play in Henderson this year,

1012
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 2: and I say this in a complimentary way. He reminds

1013
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: me of the UCLA Russell Westbrook. Tremendous explosion, can get

1014
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 2: to the rim, draw contact, plays with incredible pace. I'm

1015
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: not so sure what his perimeter shooting is going to be,

1016
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: but if he develops that, I actually think I like

1017
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 2: his chances to have a very good NBA career. Do

1018
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 2: you agree?

1019
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 7: Yeah? You know what's interesting about that player comp That's

1020
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 7: definitely what people with g Leaku ignite said there was

1021
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 7: some flashes of Russell Westbrook g leakue Ignite coach Jason

1022
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 7: Hart so that Scoot Henderson reminds him of an athletic

1023
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 7: Derek Rose, as well as Jason Kidd because of how

1024
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 7: great of a floor general he is. You know, I

1025
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 7: talked with their president, Shreef abdu Raheem, you know, the

1026
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 7: former NBA player, that there was combinations of Russell Westbrook

1027
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 7: and Derrick Rose because of their explosiveness, some Stefan Marbury

1028
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 7: because of his all round game, as well as Steve Francis.

1029
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 7: So I think the m on him. He's he's got speed,

1030
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 7: he's got athleticism, he's got the playmaking. You mentioned his

1031
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 7: outside shooting. It's obviously a weakness. But when I've talked

1032
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 7: with not just Shreef abdu Raheem as well as Jason Hart,

1033
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 7: but you know other people around the NBA, they acknowledge

1034
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 7: that something that they have to improve, he has to

1035
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 7: improve on, but they feel like it's his shooting is

1036
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 7: gonna get better because of two things. One he puts

1037
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 7: in the work. One executive from another team told me

1038
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 7: that Scoot Henderson is a Jim Rat and that's something

1039
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 7: that g leaguing night. People will tell you as well.

1040
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 7: And two, he's not going to become Steph Curry, even

1041
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 7: if he works out with Steph Curry. But he's at

1042
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 7: least going to be respectable enough that teams won't just

1043
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 7: leave him open. And the third thing is he'll at

1044
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 7: least have all those other skill sets that I mentioned

1045
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 7: that will help him get through that learning curve of

1046
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 7: becoming a good shooter. So yeah, he's going to be

1047
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 7: an instant impact player, a really good player. I think

1048
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 7: the question though, is will it be on Damian Lillard's

1049
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 7: timeline of expecting that Portland will be a championship contender

1050
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 7: next season.

1051
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about myself that Sharif have duel.

1052
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 2: Raheem agrees with me. I remember him now. He maybe

1053
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 2: six ' nine, but I remember him at Cal and

1054
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 2: as Jogi Berr would say, they have different similarities because

1055
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: both Scoot Henderson and Raheem were the third pick overall,

1056
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 2: you recall member coming out of Cal by the Vancouver Grizzlies.

1057
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 2: Raheem was the third pick overall, so he knows a

1058
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 2: thing or two about what it takes to make in

1059
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 2: the NBA. Mark great stuff is always gonna talk to

1060
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: you in real soon and appreciate you, buddy.

1061

1062
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 7: you gotta.

1063
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 2: Look forward to it. There it is Medina Magic, a

1064

Speaker 2: double shot Saturday night at midnight as well. Come it up.

01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 2: So they may not have breakfast tacos, or maybe they

1104
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 2: do have breakfast tacos. Maybe they stole them from San

1105
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: Antonio and uh, they got breakfast tacos. Hell, I don't know.

1106
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 2: Florida right now looks like they might be the king

1107
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,280

01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 2: closer look. Goodbye Wizards, Hello Sons. Give credit to Phoenix

1114
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: owner managed Bia. I know I picked on the deal

1115
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 2: with Chris Paul and Bradley Beable. Let's take a little

1116
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: bit of a closer look. This was a really action

1117
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 2: packed week in the NBA. But let's go back to

1118
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 2: our guy, Kevin Wyatt with the latest.

1119
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 8: Well in Major League Baseball, the angel setting a new

1120
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 8: team record for offense have output. They absolutely destroy the

1121
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 8: Rockies on Saturday night, twenty five to one, and they

1122
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 8: led twenty three to nothing.

1123
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 4: After only four innings.

1124
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 8: It's the most run scored in the first four innings

1125
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 8: of a game in the last fifty years. The Halos

1126
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 8: franchise record before Saturday was a twenty four to two

1127
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 8: to win against the Blue Jays back in nineteen seventy nine.

1128
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 4: Tonight a new record.

1129
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 8: There was a trade made after the game, Mike mustak

1130
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 8: Is heading to Anaheim in exchange for two minor league players,

1131
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 8: with the Angels certainly basking in the glow of that

1132
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 8: twenty five to one. Just another fact to throw out

1133
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 8: there for you. The Denver Broncos last year lost one

1134
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 8: game by twenty four more points, and the Rockies match that.

1135
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 4: On Saturday.

1136
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 8: The Dodgers came back to beat the Houston Astros eight

1137
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 8: to seven game, the go ahead run on a back

1138
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 8: in the eighth inning. The Giants beat the Arizona Diamondback

1139
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 8: seven to six and zero game and a half back

1140
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 8: of Arizona a top of the NL West. The Cubs

1141
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 8: beat the Cardinals in London nine till one. The Reds

1142
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 8: twelve game winning streak comes to an end as the

1143
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 8: Braves beat them seven to six, each team with four

1144
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 8: home runs. The Blue Jays beat the Athletics seven to three.

1145
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 8: The Royals come from behind to beat the Rays in

1146
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 8: Tampa Bay nine to four. The Baltimore Orioles with a

1147
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 8: home run in the tenth inning to win at six

1148
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 8: to four against the Mariners. The Marlins beat the Pittsburgh

1149
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 8: Pirates in eleven innings. Luis Alray is man what a

1150
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 8: year he's been, having hit a two to one home run.

1151
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 8: He's now batting four to oh one on the season.

1152
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 8: Mits beat their heated rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, four to two.

1153
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 8: The Yankee shoutout the Rangers won nothing in the College

1154
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 8: World Series. It's lsc with a home run in the

1155
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 8: eleventh inning as they beat Florida and take Game one

1156
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 8: of the Championship round of the College World Series Final.

1157
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 8: In that one, four to three, and NBA Rookie of

1158
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 8: the Year Paolo Boncero will reportedly play for the US

1159
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 8: at this summer Where's a Basketball World Cup. The official

1160
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 8: selections have yet to be announced by managing director Grant Hill.

1161
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 4: Back to you, Bernie.

1162
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 2: We'll have to keep an eye on Lewis Rise. We

1163
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 2: are just days from July, and it's rare when someone

1164
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 2: is hitting over four hundred. I believe he's at four

1165
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 2: oh one this late in the season, so you know,

1166
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: far too early to talk about the next four hundred hitter,

1167
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 2: but so far he's getting it done, all right. Goodbye Wizards,

1168
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 2: Hello Suns. And you've heard me say it, I'll say

1169
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 2: it again. In Phoenix, there's the new saying, try the Beal. Yes,

1170
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 2: I'm here all week. Try the Beal. Thank you, Bradley

1171
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Beal for your contributions. You are a walking trade rumor.

1172
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 2: And finally, the Wizards, less than a year after giving

1173
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal a super Max contract, agreed last week to

1174
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 2: send him in his giant contract to the Suns. Now

1175
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot to unpack here. I do I think

1176
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna work? No, meaning, do I think Phoenix advances

1177
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 2: past what they do last year? No, I don't, but

1178
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 2: they can prove me wrong. But as Arnie spani you

1179
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 2: would say the shows tonight, that's how I feel tonight.

1180
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,959
Speaker 2: But I give a lot of credit to Phoenix owner

1181
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 2: Matt Eshbia. Matt's a kid you've heard of, okay. He

1182
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 2: was actually on Tom Izzo's two thousand Michigan State championship

1183
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 2: team to beat Florida. He was a bench player, but

1184
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 2: he was one of those scrappy guys diving for balls.

1185
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: He's undersize with the hell of a guy, and he's

1186
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 2: made billions of dollars and billions would be in the

1187
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 2: mortgage industry in Michigan. And you recall Matt Isshbia was

1188
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 2: key in signing Meltucker to that large contract head coach

1189
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 2: at Michigan State a couple of years ago after he

1190
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 2: beat Michigan two years which allowed him to walk on water.

1191
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 2: So Matt Ashby is going for it. He bought the Sons,

1192
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: he moved out Monty Williams brought in his own coach,

1193
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 2: Frank Vogel, and so he trades Bradley Beal to trade

1194
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 2: check that trades for Bradley Beal and they sent Chris

1195
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 2: Paul Landry Shammitt and at least four second round picks

1196
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 2: back to Washington. So the Suns now have I say

1197
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 2: this in air quotes three superstars on the roster Beal,

1198
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker. Yes they're stars, but you

1199
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 2: stick out a winning this league and Beal's never won,

1200
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Booker's never won, not maybe through nor vaults owned. Kevin

1201
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 2: Durant won once. I guess you would characterize them as

1202
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 2: elite scorers. Yes you will, but they got a co

1203
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 2: exist and there's only one basketball and Frank Vogel is

1204
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 2: a defensive guy. I don't know what the hell the

1205
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 2: Wizards are doing. Maybe they elected to tank the year

1206
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 2: after Wenby entered the draft. Interesting scenario, interesting strategy, But

1207
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 2: what do I know? Because the return was fairly embarrassing.

1208
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 2: The Wizards are gonna late with already waved, Paul and

1209
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 2: sham It, and the second round picks are basically worthless

1210
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 2: unless you hit on Nikole Jokch. Right, but they do

1211
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 2: save a ton of cap room. But what did they get?

1212
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 2: Are they attracting big money stars to this roster? It's

1213
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: a thin roster. Oh well, they did get Jordan one

1214
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 2: punch pool, but you give it up to Bradley bil

1215
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 2: He had all the power thanks to a no trade

1216
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 2: clause in his contract, and other teams, including Milwaukee Miami,

1217
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 2: they made offers, but the destination was always going to

1218
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 2: be up to Bradley Beal. Now money's a factor. Bel

1219
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 2: is due about forty seven million next season and he's

1220
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 2: only thirty, but by the end of his third year,

1221
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 2: when he's thirty three, that number is gonna jump to

1222
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 2: fifty seven million. This is the kind of money that

1223
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 2: could potentially limit trade packages currently as it stands today,

1224
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Mark Medina brought up a good point. Free agency starts Thursday,

1225
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 2: June thirtieth. I expect her to be more movement in

1226
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 2: the NBA. And if the Suns think they're gonna win

1227
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 2: just because they got Bradley Beal added to their roster,

1228
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't see it. Right now. They're committed. The Cents

1229
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: are committed to the tune of one hundred and sixty

1230
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 2: three remillion to Beal, Durant Booker and DeAndre Ayden. So look,

1231
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 2: there's pressure. Frank Bogel is a good coach, he's a

1232
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 2: defensive coach, and you know the Wizards meanwhile, wipe everything

1233
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,479
Speaker 2: for the books, at least they did for three days

1234
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 2: because they finalized the Beal to the Sun's deal. Chris Paul,

1235
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 2: now heading back to Golden State. Beale, by the way,

1236
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 2: had signed the two hundred and fifty one million dollar

1237
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 2: max extension five years. You hear the super max term,

1238
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 2: but that's how much you got, and that no trade

1239
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 2: clause worked out to being his favorite. Here are actually

1240
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 2: the actual details of the deal. The Suns received Bradley Beal,

1241
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 2: Jordan Goodwin, and Isaiah Todd. The Wizards received Chris Paul,

1242
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 2: who's already on his way to Golden State, Landry Shammitt,

1243
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 2: six second round picks between twenty twenty four and twenty thirty,

1244
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 2: and four pick swaps starting next year and running through

1245
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 2: twenty thirty as well. So again, did Washington say, I

1246
01:08:58,479 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell they're doing? Man to say,

1247
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 2: oh you don't. Why don't we wait till after Wemby's

1248
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 2: drafted and we'll tank, all right? So for the deals

1249
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,600
Speaker 2: who have worked under the cap, the Wizards needed to

1250
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 2: guarantee an extra nine million or so on Paul salary

1251
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 2: that would have brought us toll up to twenty five million,

1252
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 2: And obviously they immediately re routed Paul and they're able

1253
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 2: to ship them to the Warriors for Jordan Poole just

1254
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 2: a couple of days later. Right who will smissed out

1255
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 2: on Bradley Beale. Interesting Miami Heat they were apparently the

1256
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 2: other finalist in negotiations and Miami. You gotta love the

1257
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,520
Speaker 2: way they run things down there. They're reigning Eastern Conference champions,

1258
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 2: and I'm slightly curious as to why Beale would choose

1259
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 2: Phoenix over Miami, although there's a saying that they really

1260
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 2: get after their business down to Miami. Somebody told me

1261
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 2: that when they bring in prospective free agents, they take

1262
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 2: them to the top of one of their beautiful tall

1263
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 2: skyscrapers there and they point over to South Beach and

1264
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 2: they see see those nicely colored, neat area of buildings

1265
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 2: over there. A lot of action over there. Well, by

1266
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 2: the way, you're not going to be spent a lot

1267
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 2: of time there. You're coming here to run your business.

1268
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 2: And I'm speculating heavily, of course, but Miami did try

1269
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 2: to get Bradley Beal, and Bradley Beal turned them down.

1270
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: Miami reportedly built a package around the expiring contract of

1271
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 2: Lowry Kyro Lowry and Duncan Robinson, and they wanted to

1272
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 2: keep Tyler here out of the deal. Miami could have

1273
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 2: included up to three first round picks, and Beal still

1274
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 2: didn't go there. Now they miss out on Beal, and

1275
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 2: then they're focused. Now apparently Miami's focus is on Damian Lillard.

1276
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 2: We shall see. There's a genuine belief among people much

1277
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 2: closer to the situation than I am, that this could

1278
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 2: finally be the time that Damian Lillard, who's done a

1279
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 2: sensational job in Portland better than one man can, finally

1280
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 2: asks for a move. All right, the rumors appeared to

1281
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 2: be true. Obviously, Beal was heavily mentioned in trade rumors

1282
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 2: for several seasons. Right, but there you know, the Wizards

1283
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 2: wanted to try to remain competitive, even though they have

1284
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:10,839
Speaker 2: a roster that really doesn't make that feasible in this season,

1285
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 2: obviously pushed game to shove, and their general manager Michael

1286
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Winger basically said, you know, all right, we got to

1287
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 2: rebuild a team. We got to start over from the

1288
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 2: ground up. And of course, the Sun's already made one

1289
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 2: blockbuster deal last year when they give up Michel Bridges

1290
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 2: and four first dround picks to get Durant at the

1291
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 2: trade deadline, and that didn't work either. Although they did

1292
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 2: take Phoenix, they did take Denver six games. So you

1293
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 2: gotta ask yourself, did Phoenix get better? Did they close

1294
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 2: the gap against Denver? I don't see how. Last year

1295
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 2: they had a very good duo in Durant and Booker.

1296
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Now they got a trio. But I you know, we

1297
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 2: need come on, if I hear these big threes, right,

1298
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 2: that's kind of like going to be a term in

1299
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 2: the past. Let's just face it, got a nickel for

1300
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 2: every time someone told me this big three is going

1301
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 2: to push over the hump and win a championship elon

1302
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 2: Musk Bible and mylong. I'm tired of hearing about it.

1303
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 2: It doesn't work. Denver has showed you the model, right,

1304
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 2: and if you don't have a big man like Jokic,

1305
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 2: good luck. But Denver, it's beyond that. Denver really develops

1306
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 2: their talent. They develop them from young pups and they

1307
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 2: get better and they have real defensive chemistry. But again,

1308
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 2: Ishbia is going for it. He fired Monty Williams after

1309
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 2: the Lakers, you know, after they after Phoenix lost their series,

1310
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 2: and you knew they were going to have an active offseason,

1311
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 2: and they got to shape the roster around Durant and Booker.

1312
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 2: And but I think if I had my brothers, which

1313
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't, I would rather picked up three or four

1314
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: pieces parts as opposed to just Bradley Beale. But if

1315
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 2: you're just looking for offense, the Suns have a very

1316
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 2: explosive trio. But Durant should have learned this in Brooklyn.

1317
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 2: That'll only take a team so far. Phoenix has to

1318
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 2: build an entire roster around these starts. It's not going

1319
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 2: to be easy. The new CBA is limiting what they

1320
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 2: can do. That's going to be ratified here the next

1321
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 2: couple weeks, I believe. But very few teams you've ever

1322
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 2: had the kind of top end talent that's gonna put

1323
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 2: them squarely in the championship conversation. But do I think

1324
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 2: it gets them past Denver? No, No, I don't, But

1325
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 2: it may be fun to watch if you are a

1326
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 2: Phoenix fan. Coming up. Connor McGregor, speaking of Florida, Speaking

1327
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 2: of Miami, Connor McGregor might be in a little bit

1328
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 2: of hot water based on some recent incidents. Allegedly. We

1329
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 2: shall see. I'll break it down. I'm Bernie Fraddle or

1338
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 2: King of his sports universe, as I just laid out

1339
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 2: a minute ago, And it turns out that the Heat

1340
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 2: are investigating allegations of Connor McGregor allegedly sexually assaulting a

1341
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: woman during Game four of the NBA Finals. Allegedly, Conor

1342
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 2: McGregor sexually assaulted a woman in the bathroom at the

1343
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 2: team's arena, the Cassea Center, as the Heat released a

1344
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 2: statement last week. Now, the UFC also released the following statement, saying, quote,

1345
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 2: the organization is aware of the recent allegations regarding Connor

1346
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:47,719
Speaker 2: McGregor and will continue to gather additional details regarding the incident.

1347
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 2: The USC will allow the legal process to play out

1348
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 2: before making any additional statements. As the best of my knowledge,

1349
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 2: no charges have been filed there currently investigating. This is

1350
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 2: interesting now. The alleged sexual assault occurred. He was during

1351
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,600
Speaker 2: Game four of the NBA Finals between the Heat and

1352
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 2: the Nuggets, and we remember that was the day that

1353
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,600
Speaker 2: McGregor participated in a halftime skin at the game promoting

1354
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 2: his title sport Recovery spray, during which he punched not once,

1355
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 2: but twice Heat mascot by the name of Bernie spelled

1356
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 2: b u r Nie. Remember he hit him with the

1357
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 2: left Bernie goes down, gets on top, boom, pops him

1358
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 2: in the nose again allegedly, I think sent Bernie to

1359
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,679
Speaker 2: the hospital. But that's a different story. Now here's where

1360
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 2: it gets a little dice yere. According to a demand

1361
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,799
Speaker 2: letter that was sent by the woman's lawyer, Ariol Mitchell,

1362
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 2: the woman was separated from her friend by NBA Heat

1363
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 2: security and forced into a restroom where MacGregor and his

1364
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 2: security hard. We're waiting and I haven't seen the letter,

1365
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:05,560
Speaker 2: so I'm not gonna comment on the letter. But the

1366
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:10,600
Speaker 2: letter alleges security wouldn't let the woman leave the restroom

1367
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 2: or allow anyone else to enter McGregor then exited a

1368
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 2: stall and quote aggressively kissed the woman, as I believe

1369
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 2: his was reported by TMZ Sports Now. The woman got

1370
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 2: away from McGregor by telling him that she had to urinate.

1371
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 2: But then again, this is a family show. But I'm

1372
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 2: just reporting the facts. No wait, let me chee. I'm

1373
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 2: just reporting what was reported. I'm sharing to you what

1374
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 2: was reported. I have no idea if any of these

1375
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 2: are facts. McGregor, who's not retired from the UFC, maybe

1376
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 2: you should unretired. I'd like to see him come back

1377
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 2: and fight again. Here's where it gets even dice year.

1378
01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 2: Apparently he asked the lady to do for oral sex

1379
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 2: on him, and the letter says McGregor then grabbed the

1380
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 2: woman pinner against the wall and attempted to rape her.

1381
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 2: These are pretty serious allegations for Granda out, which is

1382
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 2: went over the matter riser thing last night. I might

1383
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 2: have to revisit that, so I can't. I don't know

1384
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 2: how to react to any of this other than just

1385
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 2: to share with you because it's Connor McGregor. So, after

1386
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 2: the woman elbowed McGregor multiple times to escape, the judges

1387
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 2: had her winning in a round ten to eight, she

1388
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 2: fled the bathroom, left her purse behind, and in the letter,

1389
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 2: Mitchell alleges McGregor's security guards held the woman's first hostage

1390
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 2: quote unquote hostage, and after the woman got it back,

1391
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 2: she went to local authorities. According to the letter, this

1392
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 2: victim has contacted law enforcement, and when contacted by The Athletic,

1393
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 2: a spokespersman from the Miami Police Department said they were

1394
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 2: waiting on information from special victims. I guess so, and

1395
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 2: they had no additional information, so obviously. The representatives for

1396
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 2: McGregor told Teams E Sports and The Daily Mail that

1397
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 2: these allegations are false. No idea. If they are true

1398
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 2: and false, how does this happen? McGregor is there Game

1399
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 2: four the NBA Finals to promoters, recovery Spray gets into

1400
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 2: Bernie the mascot, and then these allegations happen afterward. I

1401
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 2: don't know who's telling the truth. I don't know what happened,

1402
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 2: but the fact that these conversations are taking place doesn't

1403
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 2: exactly cast Connor McGregor in the most favorable light. This

1404
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 2: will be a story we'll continue to watch for multiple reasons,

1405
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 2: because it crosses several spheres and it feels very uncomfortable. Again,

1406
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 2: this is something we have to continue to watch. Coming up,

1407
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 2: the A's are coming to Vegas twenty twenty eight. The

1408
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 2: question is is Rob Manfred doing his job. I'm Bernie fraudl.

1409
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle showing Fox Sports Radio.

1410
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here in Fox Sports Radio. Well,

1411
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 2: I heard the man. The Bernie Frattur showkeeps rolling right along.

1412
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the tyrac dot com

Speaker 2: Tyract dot com the way tire buying should be all right, signed, sealed, delivered.

1417
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 2: The as it looks like they are coming to Vegas,

1418
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 2: they won't be here before twenty twenty eight, and they

1419
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 2: still haven't fill out the paperwork or turn into paperwork

1420
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 2: to get it approved by the owners. But I believe

1421
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 2: this seventy five percent bolt would go through. Now, let's

1422
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 2: clear something up. This is not like when the Raiders

1423
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 2: came to Vegas. The Raiders are an iconic brand, nor

1424
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 2: is it like the Golden Knights, who not only built

1425
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 2: their identity around becoming the first major professional sports team

1426
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, their owner pretty much funded most

1427
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 2: of this, built the T Mobile Arena, all that kind

1428
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 2: of stuff. The sad reality about the Rays is that

1429
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 2: even after the recent seven game winning streak, they're sort

1430
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 2: of back to reality. And their owner, John Fisher, is

1431
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 2: why they regard it inside the game, is not one

1432
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 2: of the better owners in the sport. And you know,

1433
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 2: he does little things like not bothering to provide the

1434
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 2: proper resources for his team, like payroll and infrastructure and manpower.

1435
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't he could have fooled me. Doesn't

1436
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 2: look like he cares if you wins. And although the

1437
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 2: A's in the last eleven years made the playoffs five times,

1438
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 2: right now, they don't have a farm system that's going

1439
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 2: to provide much help. And you know, a lot of

1440
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 2: insiders believe that if Vegas just been patient, you know,

1441
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 2: we would have I lived here, we would have gotten

1442
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 2: an expansion franchise. Instead, he inherits the teams, a team

1443
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 2: who has problems well beyond that rundown stadium all right now,

1444
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 2: there are plenty of people in Las Vegas who want

1445
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 2: the A's to come, casinos, labor unions, listen, they come.

1446
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 2: I'm there, damn right, I'll be out at the ballpark.

1447
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 2: But this has been a weird deal for minute one

1448
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:58,560
Speaker 2: because ever since back on what was at April twentieth,

1449
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 2: the A's announced they'd entered into this binding agreement to

1450
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 2: purchase a forty nine acre parcel of land on which

1451
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 2: they would build this new one and a half billion

1452
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 2: dollar retractable roof to open in twenty twenty seven. It

1453
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 2: just felt rushed, odd. They weren't invited. They showed up uninvited.

1454
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 2: They asked they wanted five hundred million dollars to help

1455
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 2: pay for the rest of it, and in public money.

1456
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 2: And then, you know, weeks later, after they laid out

1457
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 2: their plans, all of a sudden mid May, they changed

1458
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 2: that binding agreement to a different agreement over on where

1459
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 2: the Tropicana site is a Tropicana and a Las Vegas

1460
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 2: boulevard where the famous Tropicana hotel is. And now because

1461
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 2: of that area they only need three hundred and eighty million.

1462
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 2: Well it got approved, Okay. The legislative session here in

1463
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 2: Las Vegas terminated or adjourned June fifth, but the government loan.

1464
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 2: Bar I'll call a coup, a couple of uh, he

1465
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 2: called a couple of special sessions, and to the tune

1466
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 2: of about two hundred thousand dollars per taxpayers. But they

1467
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 2: got it done. They needed twenty one, they needed a

1468
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 2: majority of twenty one votes in the Senate, needed to

1469
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 2: be eleven to ten and ended up being thirteen eight,

1470
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 2: flew through the Assembly and Governor Lombardo signed on him.

1471
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things still have to happen between

1472
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 2: now before they put a shell on the ground, and

1473
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 2: they won't be here before April twenty twenty eight. But

1474
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 2: more than one person has asked, where the hell is

1475
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,919
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred of this situation? Where is he? I remember

1476
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 2: during the elongated strike in nineteen eighty one that created

1477
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 2: the split season for baseball, Bowie Kun was the commissioner

1478
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 2: in George Steinbrenner. He very much outspoken, loud bombastic owner

1479
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 2: of the New York Yankees, once famously said, if buy

1480
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 2: Kun were alive today, the strike would have been settled.

1481
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 2: Of course, boy Kun was alive. He was taking a

1482
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 2: shot at him, claiming he was an empty suit. But

1483
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 2: that was a fifty days strike in nineteen eighty one,

1484
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 2: it kind of ruined the season. They came back in

1485
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 2: mid August, played the game, the All Star Game in Cleveland.

1486
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 2: They having a split season, and the Cincinnati Reds will

1487
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 2: forever rule the day because they had the best for

1488
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 2: overall record major League Baseball. They didn't make the playoffs

1489
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 2: that year because they didn't win either of the split

1490
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 2: season you know, sections or portions of the nineteen eighty

1491
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 2: one campaign. But I digress. So interestingly enough, you are

1492
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 2: hearing some of the same rumblings about Rob Manfred that

1493
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 2: George Steinbrenner implied about Bui Koon back then. Now I'm

1494
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 2: not a Manford fan, and actually I'm a Manfred man fan.

1495
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 2: They were a good band, just not a Manford fan,

1496
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 2: and he's most likely blinded by the light. See what

1497
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 2: I did there, Because there's one thing you must remember

1498
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 2: about Rob Manfred and every other pro sports commissioner for

1499
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 2: that matter. He works for the owners. His role is

1500
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 2: to absorb criticism away from some of the wealthiest people

1501
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 2: in the world, much less in sports. And last week,

1502
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 2: if you're an owner, you actually think Rob Banfred did

1503
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 2: his job well because when he was talking about the

1504
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 2: a's looming departure from Oakland. He was downright crazy, you know,

1505
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 2: not very sympathetic, saying sort of mocking a fan base

1506
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 2: that had been really sort of tortured for years by

1507
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:29,680
Speaker 2: ownership that really has not done a whole hell of

1508
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 2: a lot to subsidize the A's in their success. What

1509
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 2: did Rob Manfred say about the reverse boycott night in

1510
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 2: which they good people of Oakland brought twenty seven thousand

1511
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 2: people out to the parkers they see will support the team.

1512
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 2: Just give us a damn team? He said, quote, it's

1513
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 2: great to see what it is this year on almost

1514
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 2: average Major League Baseball crowd in the factor in the

1515
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 2: facility for one night, for one night. Okay, he kind

1516
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 2: of missed the point. Does Manfred think A's owner John

1517
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 2: Fisher has made making a good faith effort to build

1518
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 2: a competitive team? What does Manford say? Quote? I think

1519
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 2: if you look at the A's record over time and

1520
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 2: the economic circumstances, including the state of the stadium that

1521
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 2: they've operated in for a very long time, they had

1522
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 2: a very good record up through the pandemic, Right that

1523
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 2: was years ago. What about now, what have you done

1524
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 2: for me lately? I just said, in the last eleven

1525
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 2: years the A's had made the playoffs, I believe five times,

1526
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 2: won ninety games five times, but Moneyball's done gone. Every

1527
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 2: time they bring up players that are successful and productive,

1528
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 2: they move them, they move them. How do the owners

1529
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 2: feel about this move? Hmm, well quote, I do not

1530
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 2: like this outcome. I understand the fans field the way

1531
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 2: they do. I think that the real question is what

1532
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 2: is Oakland prepared to do? What were they prepared to do?

1533
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 2: There was no Oakland offer. Okay, they never got to

1534
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 2: the point where they had a plan to build any

1535
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 2: stadium site, which was debunked by their mayor of Oakland.

1536
01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 2: Now the average Major League Baseball crowd dig is it

1537
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:08,959
Speaker 2: low blow and not in a good ways. It's intended

1538
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 2: to be pr spin by Rob Manfred, but it completely

1539
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:18,600
Speaker 2: ignores some very important details. Let's contextualize this, and I

1540
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 2: think Manfred went on to say one night does not

1541
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 2: make up for years of no support, so I paraphrasing,

1542
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 2: But let's look at the facts. Over the last ten seasons,

1543
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 2: the owner of the Age, John Fisher, averaged major League

1544
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 2: Baseball's twenty sixth highest payroll, and the team only won

1545
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 2: one playoff game. That's not exactly a history of owner

1546
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 2: investment and commitment to the team's success. Can you be

1547
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 2: truly surprised when that turns fans off? To blame the

1548
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 2: city of Oakland for no offer is also folly, pure folly.

1549
01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 2: Tim Kalla Comedy wrote a column back in April on

1550
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 2: the Ace stadium saga, which basically chronicles how many stumbles

1551
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 2: Fisher and his team have made. The way he went

1552
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 2: about the process was opposite to how his counterparts, meaning

1553
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 2: the Warriors, the forty nine Ers and the Giants all

1554
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 2: managed to get stadiums built in the Bay Area. Now.

1555
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 2: John Fisher also partially blames the Raiders for decamping to Vegas.

1556
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 2: Too sweet wow spray on the board. So the question

1557
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 2: now is will the As succeed in Vegas? Because we've

1558
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,600
Speaker 2: been spoiled by the Las Vegas Aces won a championship

1559
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 2: fairly quickly coincidentally owned by Mark Davis, owner of the Raiders,

1560
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 2: the Vegas Golden Knights to Stanley Cup finals their first

1561
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 2: six years at Stanley Cup Championship. Bryce Harper, who's probably

1562
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 2: Las Vegas' most famous baseball you know, an aluma of

1563
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 2: the city last Vegas. Las Vegas High probably our most

1564
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 2: famous resident Major League Baseball. He's not so sure. He's

1565
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 2: not so sure that baseball and the Oakland A's will

1566
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:15,759
Speaker 2: succeed here, And we're not gonna know before twenty twenty anyway.

1567
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, the residents of the East Bay,

1568
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 2: they don't really want to support their baseball team, because,

1569
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 2: if we're being honest, John Fisher, their owner hasn't given

1570
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 2: them anything worth supporting to be fair. So now the

1571
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 2: Aas appears to be destined to leave town headed to

1572
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:37,719
Speaker 2: our thirty thousand seat stadium, and we are a city

1573
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 2: flushed with a lot of entertainment options. And even the

1574
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 2: Raiders rank thirty of thirty two teams in the NFL

1575
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 2: average attendance in twenty twenty two, which means that if

1576
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 2: you don't win here, you don't win here will you

1577
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 2: be supported. We're not talking note eight nine sundays a

1578
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 2: year or forty one evenings year in the NHL. We're

1579
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: talking eighty one dates a year, especially through the summer months,

1580
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 2: when you have the least amongt tourism in Las Vegas,

1581
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,799
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be one hundred and six degrees next Sunday,

1582
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to have a retractable roof or

1583
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 2: a roof or something a hell of a lot of shade. Right. So,

1584
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,839
Speaker 2: the long and short of it is that the Raiders

1585
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 2: checked that the Oakland A's are coming, and for more

1586
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 2: than twenty years they've been trying to extricate themselves from Oakland.

1587
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's it's it's an iconic stadium, but

1588
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 2: no longer is it of Major League ILK. It's infested

1589
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,880
Speaker 2: with possums and they have plumbing issues and it's just

1590
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:44,800
Speaker 2: kind of dingy and it's over with, right. It's been

1591
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 2: there since nineteen sixty seven. It's a shan a lot

1592
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 2: of good memories in that stadium, and the Oakland A's

1593
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 2: are you know, we're held bent on coming here because

1594
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 2: once they you know, in May twenty twenty one, when

1595
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball said, hey, A's, why don't you pursue

1596
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:07,800
Speaker 2: some potential relocation sites outside the Bay Area, and the

1597
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 2: A's focused specifically on Vegas. They wanted to take the

1598
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 2: parallel path that the one the Raiders do, but it's

1599
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 2: not the same. You really can't conflate the two. The Raiders, uh,

1600
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 2: you know, again, they're an iconic franchise, They're they certainly

1601
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 2: have had their years in the National Football League and

1602
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 2: they're still a national draw. The Oakland A's yes, they're

1603
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 2: a charter member of the American League. And by the way,

1604
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 2: they do like to move because they were born in

1605
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 2: nineteen oh one in Philadelphia. Did they move to Kansas City,

1606
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 2: then they moved to Oakland, and now they're on the

1607
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 2: way to Vegas. Where the odds of two teams in

1608
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 2: the same city moving to the same city that the

1609
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 2: other would move to in this case one hundred percent,

1610
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:56,719
Speaker 2: but somewhere along the line, obviously, this leaves a bad

1611
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:58,720
Speaker 2: taste in the mouth of a lot of people. And

1612
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 2: it leaves a bad taste in the mouth in terms

1613
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 2: of how Commissioner Rob Manfred has seemingly stood mute here

1614
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:10,640
Speaker 2: and supported this and there there are going to be

1615
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:14,200
Speaker 2: victims here, Okay, the people the Oakland's a good sports city,

1616
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,599
Speaker 2: it is, and it's just a shame when they see

1617
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 2: other state, other you know, cities getting taken care of

1618
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,679
Speaker 2: and they were blocked by the Raiders, I believe, get

1619
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 2: from getting a stadium and I don't know. Look, it's

1620
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 2: just a mess any way you slice it. But what

1621
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,800
Speaker 2: are the fans, what are the fans weigh in on this, right.

1622
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 2: They're the ones that is, at the end of the day,

1623
01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 2: matter the most. They're the ones driving the TV ratings.

1624
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 2: They're the ones produced, you know, helping baseball to grow

1625
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 2: at sport. In nineteen ninety four when Baseball when I'm

1626
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 2: Strike canceled the World Series, the annual revenues are a

1627
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 2: billion dollars. It's not a ten billion dollars sport. It's

1628
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:56,759
Speaker 2: a healthy sport. The average attendance is twenty seven thousand.

1629
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 2: I was at the Padres game Sunday and there were

1630
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people there. Fantastic crowd, sold out, beautiful Sunday afternoon.

1631
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 2: People love baseball. It is America's pastime. They play a

1632
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 2: game in London on Saturday, fifty four thousand people there.

1633
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 2: All right, so people do like baseball. Fans are fans.

1634
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 2: They matter coming up on Wing and bringing the crew.

1635
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Kevin, Let's bring in Patrick and get

1636
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,640
Speaker 2: their thoughts. Look at through the prism of the standpoint

1637
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:29,679
Speaker 2: of a fan. And now that it's a done deal

1638
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 2: at least in writing that the A's are on their way,

1639
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 2: how do they feel about that, and how do they

1640
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 2: feel about Rob Manfred as a commissioner. You see Roger

1641
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 2: Goodell out there as forefront of the NBA or NFL,

1642
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: and you see Adam Silver and now certainly Gary Bettman

1643
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 2: at the end of the Stanley Cup finals. You don't

1644
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 2: really see a lot of Rob Manfred. Do you curious

1645
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 2: what their thoughts are? And they may not have any

1646
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:54,760
Speaker 2: if they don't, because maybe Rob Manfred has been in

1647
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:58,839
Speaker 2: the shadows for too long, maybe especially on this issue.

1660
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 2: Radio talking about the A's to Vegas. They're currently drafting

1661
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 2: their letter to get approval for the owners to relocate

1662
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas. They won't be here before twenty twenty eight.

1663
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 2: Lots of unanswered questions. And will they generate enough money

1664
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 2: over thirty years to be off the one hundred and twenty

1665
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 2: million dollars in bonds and debt on those bonds. Why

1666
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 2: the hell would Major League Baseball wave the relocation fee

1667
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:07,719
Speaker 2: of three hundred million dollars or so when the owners

1668
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,560
Speaker 2: can make more than a billion dollars from an expansion

1669
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 2: fee that would be charged to an ownership group of

1670
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 2: an expansion club. Lots of unanswered questions. This one snuck

1671
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 2: past the goalie on the same time the Vegas goal

1672
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 2: and Knights were speaking. Sneaky went past the goalie. The

1673
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 2: speed of the way this approval showed that it looked

1674
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:32,000
Speaker 2: like this was an inside job. Not complaining, just explaining.

1675
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 2: But man died it to go down quick for Memorial

1676
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 2: Day the special session, the A's are on the way.

1677
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 2: We have toured with a two part question that I'll

1678
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 2: ask Kevin and Patrick. Number one, Kevin, what was your

1679
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:47,320
Speaker 2: knee jerk reaction? When you heard the A's were moving

1680
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 2: to Vegas.

1681
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:50,800
Speaker 8: Well, it seemed like a long time coming. There'd been

1682
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 8: rumblings about the A's. It didn't seem like they really

1683
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 8: wanted to be in Oakland. It seemed like the Howard

1684
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 8: Terminal project was just kind of for show, because, I mean,

1685
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 8: John Fisher is a billy here. If you really wanted

1686
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 8: to get something done, he would have the ability to.

1687
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 8: It really came down to he wasn't gonna get taxpayer

1688
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:10,320
Speaker 8: funding in Oakland. California as a whole really doesn't support

1689
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 8: using taxpayer money to build stadiums, so it was always

1690
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 8: going to be unlikely that he would get the public

1691
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 8: funding that he desired for a stadium in Oakland. What

1692
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 8: I'm surprised is is that he didn't choose somewhere like

1693
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 8: Sacramento or Portland, a place that had long been courting

1694
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:29,479
Speaker 8: a major league team. Vegas, at least not until recently,

1695
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 8: didn't seem like they were that interested, at least not

1696
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 8: in a relocation, maybe an expansion, But it seemed like

1697
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 8: John Fisher was looking for somewhere and after seeing the

1698
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:41,600
Speaker 8: success of the Golden Knights, and of course with the

1699
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 8: Raiders getting their stadium built with public funding. I could

1700
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 8: see why he pivoted to Vegas. And I guess what

1701
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,679
Speaker 8: I'm surprised with is how quickly that funding went through

1702
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 8: after it seemed like there was a lot of resistance

1703
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 8: locally in Nevada to providing that.

1704
01:35:57,479 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 4: But it was no surprise that he lef Oakland.

1705
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 8: The fact that he ended up in Vegas, or at

1706
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 8: least appears to be ending up in Vegas this quickly,

1707
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:05,960
Speaker 8: I guess, is more of the surprise to me.

1708
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 2: It did happen quick And you mentioned the city Sacramento, Portland.

1709
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 2: You've also got Nashville. You've got Salt Lake City that

1710
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 2: would love to have teams. They have coalitions, they have

1711
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,519
Speaker 2: organizations saying bring baseball to Salt Lake City. We don't

1712
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,320
Speaker 2: really have any of that here. Now. I'm not implying

1713
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 2: that when they arrive in twenty twenty eight, assuming they arrive,

1714
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 2: that it may not be successful. I don't know. But

1715
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 2: the way it happened, like you said, so quickly, and

1716
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 2: the fact that they were so insistent on Vegas and

1717
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 2: Vegas was you know, pretty magnanimous. Again with public funds,

1718
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 2: when you've got children's hospitals, they want to build, and

1719
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 2: our public funding for schools is lacking. The rank forty

1720
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:51,240
Speaker 2: eighth in the country, raises questions, Patrick, what was your

1721
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 2: knee jerk reaction when you heard that the A's were

1722
01:36:54,120 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 2: coming to Vegas? Patrick there, Kevin, Yeah.

1723
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 4: He's can you hear me now?

1724
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 2: All right?

1725
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:10,760
Speaker 9: Cool? No, I was.

1726
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:15,640
Speaker 10: I guess, I guess there was technical difficulties over here, Bernie.

1727
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, go ahead, Patrick, all.

1728
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:19,720
Speaker 9: Right, all right.

1729
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:22,680
Speaker 10: Well, personally, Bernie, what I really thought about that was

1730
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 10: that I really wasn't surprised at all, just because I mean,

1731
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 10: one the A's have, you know, in the last couple

1732
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 10: of years, has just been really really you know, progressively

1733
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 10: turning bad, and with the whole trading everybody away and

1734
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 10: just really looks like they've been tanking.

1735
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 9: And then with the whole you know, it's been building.

1736
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 10: Of talks of oh we want out or we're going

1737
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,639
Speaker 10: to relocate or all that stuff, and then just boom,

1738
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 10: it happens with Vegas. I really wasn't surprised that it

1739
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 10: just happened. But I will kind of jump on Kevin,

1740
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:56,599
Speaker 10: uh and ride him with this one that Uh, it's

1741
01:37:56,680 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 10: just the whole it happens so quickly, so fast, like boom,

1742
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 10: we're getting relocated to Oakland. It's got a pending of

1743
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 10: you know, approval, and then like you know, it took

1744
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 10: like like what Memorial Day weekend type stuff, and then boom,

1745
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 10: it happens, and that quickly it just went. You know,

1746
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:15,879
Speaker 10: it's almost like a little too quickly, like really conveniently quickly.

1747
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,680
Speaker 2: Well, it did happen quickly, there's no doubt about that.

1748
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 2: Once they once they got the Senate floor and started

1749
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 2: to talk. All right, now, let's talk about Commissioner Rob Manfred,

1750
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 2: because he's come under a little bit of fire. But

1751
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:35,719
Speaker 2: remember Manfred works for the owners and he I don't

1752
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 2: want to disrespect Rob Manfred, but to me, he's such

1753
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 2: an in artful communicator and he's one of the in

1754
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 2: terms of his presence and in terms of his public persona.

1755
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 2: To me, it's lacking and he could have been more

1756
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 2: forthright here. Again, he works for the owners. I think

1757
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 2: probably the owners may or maybe you know, maybe they're happy.

1758
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 2: But regardless of any of that, Rob Manfred as a commissioner,

1759
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:04,639
Speaker 2: were you know, in the lexicon of commissioners, Kevin, where

1760
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 2: do you know? Where's Rob Manfred in your view? And

1761
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 2: how do you think he presented over this as thing.

1762
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:13,639
Speaker 8: I rank him at the bottom of professional sports in

1763
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:19,200
Speaker 8: North America because it seems like he was hired specifically

1764
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 8: to be antagonistic towards the players, because we saw what

1765
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 8: happened during the striker last year when you know, the

1766
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 8: players went on strike and Rob Manford seemed to just

1767
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 8: laugh it off. He was practicing his golf swings while

1768
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 8: talking to reporters. I mean, it seemed like his disdain

1769
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:42,720
Speaker 8: for anyone who isn't someone he's working for has been

1770
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:47,839
Speaker 8: very off putting, and it seems like if the owners

1771
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 8: want to get more done for themselves, it'd be best

1772
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 8: to have someone who actually is an effective communicator and

1773
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 8: he can actually provide good pr for them. Because Rob Manford,

1774
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:57,919
Speaker 8: it just seems like he's made a lot of unforced

1775
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:02,080
Speaker 8: errors in regards to public relations and the game's messaging.

1776
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 8: Because even if he does what he has done some

1777
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:07,160
Speaker 8: things that are positive, I will say, but it's hard

1778
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 8: to well.

1779
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:11,879
Speaker 2: He did sort of have a hand in the baseball

1780
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 2: rule changes, I'll give him that, But to your point,

1781
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 2: and it's my impression as well, he's an n artful

1782
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:20,120
Speaker 2: communicator when it comes to being a front man. He's

1783
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 2: underwhelming to me. Your thoughts on Rob Manfred.

1784
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 10: Patrick, Yeah, I'm definitely going to agree with Kevin on

1785
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 10: this one. Is that I would rank Manfred certainly at

1786
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 10: the bottom of commissioning and not just North America. I

1787
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 10: would rank him at the bottom of a major league

1788
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 10: and even amateur commissioning sports. This man is I think

1789
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 10: it's just the lowest and low of all commissioners on

1790
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 10: my in my personal opinion, just because he's as you

1791
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 10: said before, he's a very bad communicator. He does kind

1792
01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:52,920
Speaker 10: of like antagonize like you know a lot of baseball players,

1793
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 10: like pretty much anyone who doesn't you know, work for

1794
01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,640
Speaker 10: and all that good stuff. And honestly, it kind of

1795
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 10: feels like he's very almost like in a way, like

1796
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 10: kind of petty and like just takes like, you know,

1797
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 10: jabs at a lot like really like you know, good

1798
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:10,639
Speaker 10: baseball fans like us, the real true blue fans of baseball.

1799
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 10: Feels like he just kind of walks all over us

1800
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 10: and takes everybody for granted in a way.

1801
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's curating is probably fourth out of four commissioners,

1802
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 2: and we'll continue to watch how this plays out. But

1803
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 2: like I said, when you watch him in interviews, I'm

1804
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:32,960
Speaker 2: underwhelmed and I've yet to see really any definitive revelation

1805
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 2: come out of Rob Manfred As it pertains to the

1806
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 2: A's coming to Vegas. He's he's inarticulate to me. All right,

1807
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 2: coming up, we're gonna let's switch gears. Every year in

1808
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,479
Speaker 2: the National Football League, well eighteen in the last twenty

1809
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,960
Speaker 2: one team has gone from worst to first, and twenty

1810
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 2: eighteen two teams actually did it, including Chicago Bears under

1811
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 2: Mitch Trubitsky. We're not that far off from camp. Can

1812
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 2: we look ahead? Who are the most likely worst to

1813
01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:03,320
Speaker 2: first teams in the National Football League in the upcoming season.

1814
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 2: We'll chop it up, and first let's go back to

1815
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 2: our guy, Kevin Wyert with the latest.

1816
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 8: Well, a lot of action in baseball on Saturday and

1817
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 8: the La Angels with a record offensive output. They absolutely

1818
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 8: demolished the Colorado Rockies twenty five to one, and they

1819
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:23,760
Speaker 8: led twenty three to nothing after only four innings. That's

1820
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:25,920
Speaker 8: the most run score in the first four innings of

1821
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 8: a game in fifty years, and it breaks the Halos

1822
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 8: previous franchise mark for offensive output. They had twenty four

1823
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 8: runs and a twenty four to two win against the

1824
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 8: Blue Jays back in nineteen seventy nine, so tonight is

1825
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 8: a new record. In an interesting fact, the Denver Broncos

1826
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,840
Speaker 8: had one loss in a twenty twenty two of twenty

1827
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 8: four points or more, and the Colorado Rockies matched them

1828
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 8: for that on Saturday, and there was a trade between

1829
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 8: these two teams that went through after the game was over,

1830
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 8: Mike Mustakas heading at to Anaheim in exchange for a

1831
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 8: couple of minor league players. The Dodgers come from behind

1832
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 8: to beat the Astros eight to seven, LA getting a

1833
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 8: go ahead run on a back call in the bottom

1834
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 8: of the eighth inning. The Giants beat the Diamondback seven

1835
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:11,160
Speaker 8: to six. They're really catching fire at San Francisco. They're

1836
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 8: now a game and a half behind Arizona at top

1837
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 8: of the NL West. The Cubs beat down the Cardinals

1838
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:20,559
Speaker 8: in London at nine to one. The Reds on a

1839
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 8: hot streak. They were, at least it was a twelve

1840
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 8: game winning streak, but that came to an end on

1841
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,760
Speaker 8: Saturday as the Braves beat them seven to six. In

1842
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:28,720
Speaker 8: spite of the fact the Reds had four home runs.

1843
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,719
Speaker 8: Sody Atlanta, though they hit four home runs as well.

1844
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 8: The Blue Jays beat the Athletics seven to three. As

1845
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 8: Oakland now just twenty and fifty nine on the season,

1846
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 8: team that isn't doing much better is the Royals, but

1847
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 8: they do beat the best team in baseball on Saturday.

1848
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:46,719
Speaker 8: The Tampa bay Rays final score in that one nine

1849
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 8: to four the upstart Baltimore Orioles. They get a home

1850
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:51,680
Speaker 8: run in the tenth inning to get a six to

1851
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 8: four win against the Mariners. The Mets beat the Philadelphia

1852
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:58,759
Speaker 8: Phillies four to two. The Yankee shout out the Rangers.

1853
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 4: One thing.

1854
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 8: College World Series, It's LSU with a home run in

1855
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 8: the eleventh inning. They beat the Florida Gators for to

1856
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 8: three to take Game one of the championship brown in

1857
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 8: that College World Series. In soccer, the US and Jamaica

1858
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,040
Speaker 8: played to a draw in the opening Gold Cup tournament game.

1859
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,879
Speaker 8: And NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Boncero will reportedly

1860
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 8: play for the US at this summer's Basketball World Cup,

1861
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 8: but the selections for the team have yet to be

1862
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 8: announced by Managing director Grant Hill.

1863
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, all right, thanks Kevin. So we're

1864
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:36,960
Speaker 2: weeks away from NFL teams in their official camps. And

1865
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 2: of course, as I just mentioned, eighteen in the last

1866
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 2: twenty seasons, at least one team has gone from worse

1867
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,880
Speaker 2: to first. Happened twice in twenty eighteen. The Bears did it,

1868
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 2: one of the teams with Mitch Trubisky. And you've got

1869
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:55,759
Speaker 2: some real contenders this year, obviously the New York Jets.

1870
01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 2: They're coming for the AFC East that appears more wide

1871
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 2: open than in the past. We shall see Cleveland Browns

1872
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 2: made some improvements. And let's not forget this is a

1873
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:14,919
Speaker 2: long shot to me, but can the Denver Broncketts actually

1874
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:18,880
Speaker 2: catch the Super Bowl defending champs the Kansas City Chiefs

1875
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 2: and even the Chargers. Not gonna be easy, but Sean

1876
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 2: Payton might be able to reinvigorate that entire situation. So again,

1877
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 2: we often see teams go from worse to first. The

1878
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:31,599
Speaker 2: league is set up to do that because they create

1879
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 2: scheduling quirks, the NFL draft, the salary cap. Who are

1880
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,839
Speaker 2: the most likely teams? Well, you have to start, I believe,

1881
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 2: with the New York Jets. Why It's very simple. The

1882
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 2: Jets made the biggest upgrade at the most important position

1883
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 2: in football. When they traded for Aaron Rodgers. This is

1884
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 2: a guy who's won the MVP four times. And yes,

1885
01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 2: this PFF grade last year that seventy eight was the

1886
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 2: second lowest of his career, but that would be the

1887
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 2: highest of any Jets quarterback since they started doing this

1888
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 2: in two thousand and six. Now, the Bills and Dolphins

1889
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 2: are gonna be tough. They're gonna be very tough outs,

1890
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 2: but the Jets have a signal caller that can be

1891
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 2: the difference maker if things work out. Jets had a

1892
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:14,160
Speaker 2: great defense last year. They got hurt. Brits Hall got

1893
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 2: hurt plenty of targets, but make no mistake, Aaron Rodgers

1894
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:23,240
Speaker 2: is going to have to be the X factor about

1895
01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns. The Browns addressed a lot of their

1896
01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:30,519
Speaker 2: defensive issues this offseason. They added Dalvin Tomlinson in free

1897
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 2: agency and a couple of you know, they drafted well,

1898
01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 2: and they traded for Zadarius Smith's and I got bookends

1899
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 2: on the edge with Miles Garrett. But their hope of

1900
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 2: going from worse to first is gonna very much hinge

1901
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:46,680
Speaker 2: again on the quarterback. Can Deshaun Watson get back to

1902
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 2: the level of play he had before his suspension. He

1903
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:53,439
Speaker 2: had a ninety three PFF grade back in twenty twenty,

1904
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 2: good for third in the league, but his fifty five

1905
01:46:57,120 --> 01:47:00,479
Speaker 2: mark last year was last. He was clearly rusty, dealing

1906
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 2: with a lot of distractions. Ken Deshaun Watson bounce back.

1907
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 2: He can, but it's not automatic. He's gonna still have

1908
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 2: to do it. How about the Atlanta Falcons. Not a

1909
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:15,640
Speaker 2: lot of people are really talking about the Atlanta Falcons,

1910
01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 2: but you can't write them off as a team that

1911
01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 2: could go from worse to first because the NFC South,

1912
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 2: you talk about a wide open division for Crown Allow

1913
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 2: you had a team the Tampa Bay Bucks won the

1914
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 2: division last year with an eight and nine record, So

1915
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:38,680
Speaker 2: the path is there, but it might not be the

1916
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:42,479
Speaker 2: smoothest okay, And you do have a good offensive line.

1917
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 2: They add Bjon Robinson, the stud running back out of Texas.

1918
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 2: The Falcons actually might have the best ground game in football.

1919
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 2: And you know the biggest issue they're gonna have again,

1920
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear the recurring theme here, you don't really know.

1921
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:01,880
Speaker 2: You don't really know at all one hundred percent what

1922
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna get from their quarterback Desmond Ritter, young man

1923
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 2: out of Cincinnati. They've they've hitched their wagon to him.

1924
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:12,280
Speaker 2: It's the second year in four starts. Last year he

1925
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:14,800
Speaker 2: had a PFF grade of just above seventy only once

1926
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 2: three of the four games, didn't throw a single touchdown pass.

1927
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 2: So you know, look, somebody does it every year, and

1928
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 2: there are always reasons why they can do it, reasons

1929
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,760
Speaker 2: why they won't do it. But I'm not you know,

1930
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:32,759
Speaker 2: I don't think Derek Carr is going to be anywhere

1931
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 2: near the difference maker in in in New Orleans that

1932
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 2: people are hoping he's going to be. His numbers last

1933
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 2: year were not good. He ranked twenty ninth in completion percentage,

1934
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:50,040
Speaker 2: He was in the bottom half and pass the yards

1935
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,719
Speaker 2: per game, pass, the yards per attempt TD, the interception ratio,

1936
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 2: passer rating. You know, I would say that if you're

1937
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 2: hitching your wagon into Derek Carr, I'm sorry. I was

1938
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 2: a good man, but when it comes to winning games

1939
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 2: in the clutch, I hadn't seen him really do that

1940
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 2: a lot when it really mattered. He was sixty three

1941
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:12,760
Speaker 2: and seventy nine as a starter Tampa Bay with with

1942
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 2: you know, Tom Brady gone. Look, they've got a good defense.

1943
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 2: They've got a lot of good pieces parts to win

1944
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 2: that division. They're as likely as anybody else. And then,

1945
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 2: of course Carolina with a rookie quarterback Bryce Young tremendous right,

1946
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,799
Speaker 2: But long and short of it is Atlanta might be poised.

1947
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 2: It's I gotta tell you, I'm keeping an eye on them.

1948
01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 2: I want to revisit the Denver Broncos. So you catch

1949
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. That's

1950
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 2: not gonna be easy. It's gonna come down to one

1951
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 2: simple thing. How much can new coach Sean Payton reinvigorate

1952
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. Wilson is the sixth highest quarterback in the

1953
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 2: NFL in twenty twenty, but he has dropped like an

1954
01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 2: angulin of bugs cartoon. He's gonna need big years out

1955
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 2: of Jerry Judy and Courtland Suttland. He's got some weapons

1956
01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:09,799
Speaker 2: to get it done. But what version of Russell Wilson

1957
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 2: are we going to see? He ranked twenty ninth last

1958
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 2: year in his PFF grade, and he looked like he

1959
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 2: got all overnight, and he didn't look as mobile. Perhaps

1960
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:23,200
Speaker 2: the whole vibe in Denver was crazy for a minute, one,

1961
01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:25,720
Speaker 2: when it was pretty clear their new head coaches in

1962
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 2: way over his head. And Denver does have a damn

1963
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 2: good defense though, and they were in a lot of

1964
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 2: games that they just couldn't quite convert because it just

1965
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 2: was one of those years where they couldn't get out

1966
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 2: of their own way. The Chicago Bears are on this list,

1967
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 2: but they I think you got a better chance of

1968
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 2: Led Zeppelin re recorded the Gilligan's Island theme song and

1969
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 2: selling a million copies and the Bears having to go

1970
01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:52,519
Speaker 2: from worse to first because even though there's no real

1971
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 2: clear cut contender. Maybe Minnesota, but trust me in the

1972
01:50:57,200 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 2: pythagoroream theorem, Minnesota gave up more points they scored last year,

1973
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,479
Speaker 2: managed to win thirteen games. I take nothing away from

1974
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 2: the result, but these things have a way of catching

1975
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 2: up with you, just like it did with the Raiders

1976
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:11,759
Speaker 2: the year before you sell what happened in their transition

1977
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three. They did

1978
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 2: add DJ Moore to trade down from number one. And

1979
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 2: it's gonna inge heavily on whether or not Justin Fields

1980
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 2: can play the position. His default mechanism is to run.

1981
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear how well he's doing now

1982
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,599
Speaker 2: in seven on seven drills or what remarkable progress he's made.

1983
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 2: What's it going to look like when the real bullets

1984
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,800
Speaker 2: start to fly. Positions a quarterbacks a position you play

1985
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:41,599
Speaker 2: with your eyes and Justin Fields, you know, he ran

1986
01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 2: for eleven hundred and forty three yards, But why didn't

1987
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 2: that translate to winning if it's that important? Okay, Justin Fields, though,

1988
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 2: checks a lot of the right boxes. I'm just not

1989
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 2: sure if he is going to be the type of

1990
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:59,840
Speaker 2: NFL caliber quarterback in spite of his extreme athleticism, strong,

1991
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:03,200
Speaker 2: great work. He checks all the boxes, but again, he's

1992
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,680
Speaker 2: gonna have to play the position regard with respect to

1993
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:08,960
Speaker 2: what the position requires. Justin Fields is one of the

1994
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 2: greatest college dual threat quarterbacks of all time because his

1995
01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:16,080
Speaker 2: first mechanism is to run and then throw. In the NFL,

1996
01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 2: to do a threat quarterback, your first default has to

1997
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 2: be to throw and then run and keep you know,

1998
01:52:22,200 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 2: you know, you know, your options open as it were

1999
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:29,240
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders and not so much. They're strong on

2000
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 2: the defensive line. What are they gonna do quarterback? Right,

2001
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:36,719
Speaker 2: Sam Hall, Joe Jacoby Brissett, You get the picture Houston Texans.

2002
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:40,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna be starting a quarterback Ricky C. J. Stroud,

2003
01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 2: who is tremendous, But they got a full swing rebuild.

2004
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:47,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna take a lot longer than one year. And

2005
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 2: I would say that no one's great in that division.

2006
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee's not great, but they're much better. In Houston. Indianapolis,

2007
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:58,400
Speaker 2: they're better than they showed last year. They could. They

2008
01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:02,080
Speaker 2: will probably most likely have a better shot than the

2009
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:04,320
Speaker 2: Texans and winning that division again. But we're talking last

2010
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 2: to first. But all of a sudden, you look at

2011
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 2: this Jaguars team led by Trevor Lawrence. That's gonna be

2012
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 2: a tough proposition. I do think they are for real. Finally,

2013
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:15,639
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, some think they have some things going

2014
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 2: for him heading into twenty twenty three. They have a

2015
01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 2: you know, but they got to overcome what two playoff

2016
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,760
Speaker 2: teams from the NFC West, the Niners and Seahawks, and

2017
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:27,880
Speaker 2: the fact that they're gonna be without Kyler Murray for

2018
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:30,760
Speaker 2: at least part of the season. The good news is

2019
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 2: that if you look down the road their future, they

2020
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 2: got their own first round pick in twenty twenty four.

2021
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:37,639
Speaker 2: They also have the Texans, so they can already feel

2022
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 2: good about an opportunity of building in the twenty twenty

2023
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 2: four draft. But we're talking about twenty twenty three, and

2024
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 2: of all the teams I just mentioned, I think the

2025
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 2: New York Jets and the Atlanta Falcons had the best

2026
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 2: chance of going from worst to first. But they still

2027
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:55,679
Speaker 2: got to do it. And it's not gonna be easy. Again,

2028
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 2: It's happened eighteen of the last twenty years, and so

2029
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:02,400
Speaker 2: it it can be done, it is done. You know

2030
01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:06,320
Speaker 2: the baseball new rules that something will give Rob Manford

2031
01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:10,320
Speaker 2: credit for. They're humming right along. But there's actually a

2032
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: new pitch clock quirk. You're gonna get a kick out

2033
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 2: of this. Here's a little tease. Think about when you

2034
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 2: are at a basketball game at a visiting teams arena.

2035
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 2: Michigan State was accused of this more than once, where

2036
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 2: they got to inbound the ball with a second. Laughter.

2037
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 2: Maybe the timer guy who runs the tamag just a

2038
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:33,360
Speaker 2: little bit slow on the uptake, giving his team a

2039
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 2: little bit more time. You know what I mean about

2040
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 2: a friendly home team clock manager. Hold that thought. I'll

2041
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:41,760
Speaker 2: to you about this new baseball pitch clock quirk, which

2042
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 2: is otherwise been going well. I'm Bernie fraddlew or Company

2046
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Company Live from the tyrac dot com

2047
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:02,600
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Coming up in nine minutes,

2048
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 2: top of the hour. The dance Sensation sweep in the nation. Yes,

2049
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool you followed by? What

2050
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 2: my name? All right? The new rules in baseball have

2051
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 2: been an incredibly sensational hit. The pace of the games

2052
01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 2: have changed, the link to the game has changed. Even

2053
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 2: tonight or your Saturday night, excuse me. In Denver there

2054
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 2: was a game of the final score was twenty five

2055
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:31,000
Speaker 2: to one, and they still played it in two hours.

2056
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 2: In fifty three minutes. There have been multiple games just

2057
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:38,560
Speaker 2: a little over two hours. Again, Pitcher's gotta throw the ball, quicker,

2058
01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:43,560
Speaker 2: the pickoff, you know, the defensive shifts the game. The

2059
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 2: game is flourishing, there's no question about it. But you

2060
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 2: know there's always that inevitable speed bump. Right, there's a

2061
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 2: new pitch clock quirk. Okay, what do I mean by this?

2062
01:55:56,480 --> 01:56:00,640
Speaker 2: Baseball is a sport full of variables. You know, you

2063
01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:05,320
Speaker 2: go to a football stadium an NBA, you know they're

2064
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:07,520
Speaker 2: all the courts are the same size, the fields the

2065
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 2: same size, but park dimensions, fileball territories, strike zones, stadium

2066
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,080
Speaker 2: to stadium, game to games, there's always something a little different.

2067
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 2: That's why you try to create a home field advantage

2068
01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:20,400
Speaker 2: through all the rule changes. At twenty twenty three, now

2069
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:22,400
Speaker 2: we have one created by the rule changes, and they're

2070
01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: calling it pitch clock speed. There are some data showing

2071
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 2: that at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia there have been

2072
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 2: more pitchclock violations this season than any other Major League

2073
01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 2: ballpark by a wide margin, because the difference is that well,

2074
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:43,720
Speaker 2: the anecdotes from players back up the notion that the

2075
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:47,720
Speaker 2: pitch clock operator in Philadelphia seems to be running a

2076
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 2: little quicker clock, got a little bit of a trigger finger.

2077
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 2: Pitcher Taiwan Walker said, you just get the ball in

2078
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 2: your hand and you look up and there's only ten

2079
01:56:56,800 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 2: seconds left, so we're starting the clock. There's no union

2080
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 2: form time when to start the clock. Now, I've watched

2081
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 2: these clocks and they it does move briskly, but usually

2082
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 2: by the time the pictures getting a sign, there's fourteen

2083
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 2: to fifteen seconds, and you have a little bit time

2084
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 2: to gather your thoughts. But you get the ball back

2085
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 2: from the catch, you got ten seconds left. The Phillies

2086
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 2: have fourteen timer violations at home and only five on

2087
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:23,560
Speaker 2: the road. And on Monday, two of Aaron Nola's season

2088
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 2: high twelve strikeouts came courtesy of automatic strike threes. So

2089
01:57:28,680 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 2: an inconsistent clock is going to be tough on a

2090
01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 2: pitcher's routine. So the Phillies have made multiple inquiries to

2091
01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:39,080
Speaker 2: the league office. But the data, it's a variable. What

2092
01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:44,120
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Hey, you know, changes have consequences.

2093
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this is a bad one, but it

2094
01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:49,960
Speaker 2: is one coming up. You know what, you love it?

2095
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,960
Speaker 2: You can't live without it. The dance sense, the dance

2096
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 2: sensation sweep in the nation. It's what we call what

2097
01:57:56,920 --> 01:58:01,240
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool? Followed by what mine aim?

2105
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be it's at this time

2106
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 2: every week. Well you know by now that it crosses

2107
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 2: great land of ours and around the entire planet, the globe,

2108
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:42,440
Speaker 2: every day, every minute of every day, somebody does something

2109
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 2: a little crazy, a little goofy, a little stupid, a

2110
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:51,560
Speaker 2: little off center. Sometimes it's sinnocuous, sometimes it's nefarious, sometimes

2111
01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 2: it's criminal. But anyway you slice it, any way you

2112
01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:57,640
Speaker 2: assess it. When you observe some of the things that

2113
01:58:57,680 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 2: people do, it merely leaves you scratching your head, asking yourself,

2114
01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you?

2115
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:12,400
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2116
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, it seems to happen a lop. But we take

2117
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:19,760
Speaker 2: you back to Florida. Ladies and gentlemen, women, children and grandma.

2118
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 2: Meet Lance Kertz of Palm Coast, Florida. Recently, mister Kurtz

2119
01:59:26,880 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 2: reportedly broke into a Palm Coast gas station and stole

2120
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:36,720
Speaker 2: some items and basically he was identified later and arrested

2121
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:42,200
Speaker 2: after he left behind his debit card. This is according

2122
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 2: to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. So what happened Deputies?

2123
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:50,880
Speaker 2: They responded to the business because it's alarm went off

2124
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:52,960
Speaker 2: early Sunday morning, and they found the front door of

2125
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:56,360
Speaker 2: the business and lock. Now inside the gas station, which

2126
01:59:56,400 --> 01:59:58,880
Speaker 2: was empty, they looked around they found the debit card

2127
01:59:58,880 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 2: with the name Lance Z on the counter near the register.

2128
02:00:03,440 --> 02:00:06,400
Speaker 2: So the gas station owner then reviewed the surveillance video,

2129
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,440
Speaker 2: which clearly showed a man entering the store from the back,

2130
02:00:09,520 --> 02:00:12,640
Speaker 2: taking multiple items, and then unlocking the front door and leaving.

2131
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:18,520
Speaker 2: All right well, law enforcement said they actually recognized Lance

2132
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 2: Kertz from a previous vehicle fire near the gas station

2133
02:00:22,760 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 2: that had actually happened earlier in the night. Sky got

2134
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:29,200
Speaker 2: a busy night, Lance did, so they spoke with Kurtz.

2135
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 2: They found him at the same location as disabled vehicle was,

2136
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:36,040
Speaker 2: and he reportedly admitted to breaking into the business and

2137
02:00:36,080 --> 02:00:38,960
Speaker 2: taking the items. But here's where it gets even funnier.

2138
02:00:38,960 --> 02:00:42,680
Speaker 2: According to the Sheriff's office, Kurtz told deputies he left

2139
02:00:42,680 --> 02:00:45,080
Speaker 2: behind his debit cards see so he could go back

2140
02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:49,040
Speaker 2: to the business and pay for the items later courty

2141
02:00:49,120 --> 02:00:53,280
Speaker 2: Do Sheriff Representative Rick Staley. In a comment, he said, quote,

2142
02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:56,120
Speaker 2: Kurtz must have really wanted those items to break into

2143
02:00:56,120 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 2: a close convenience store to get them, and then you

2144
02:00:58,040 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 2: leave your debit card behind. Well, that does not have

2145
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:04,000
Speaker 2: from theft or committing a burglary. Kurtz is a young man.

2146
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he can turn it around. He's only twenty years old.

2147
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:09,880
Speaker 2: He was arrested and booked him to Flagler County Jail

2148
02:01:09,960 --> 02:01:14,040
Speaker 2: in charge of the Armburgley arm burglary of a dwelling

2149
02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:19,440
Speaker 2: structure and theft. He was later released after posting ten

2150
02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:23,080
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bond. Anyway it slice it, it leaves you

2151
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:26,320
Speaker 2: asking the question, Lance Kurtz of Palm Beach, Florida, what

2152
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool are you? All right? Kevin?

2153
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:30,400
Speaker 2: You're out, buddy.

2154
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:33,400
Speaker 8: Well, obviously you don't want to do anything that would

2155
02:01:33,440 --> 02:01:36,600
Speaker 8: get you sent to jail. But the common wisdom is

2156
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 8: if you were to try to break out and escape

2157
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:41,920
Speaker 8: from jail, to keep going and don't stop until you

2158
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:44,800
Speaker 8: can get as far away from it as possible. Well,

2159
02:01:44,840 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 8: that didn't That wasn't something that came to mind to

2160
02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 8: Jason Lyle Conrad in Summit County, Ohio. He escaped on

2161
02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:55,720
Speaker 8: his way to a doctor's appointment Tuesday and was captured

2162
02:01:55,760 --> 02:01:57,920
Speaker 8: by US Marshals of Wednesday morning. That was a couple

2163
02:01:57,960 --> 02:02:03,160
Speaker 8: of weeks ago, according to officials. They arrested Conrad after

2164
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:06,320
Speaker 8: he was recognized by McDonald's employee while he stopped to

2165
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:11,120
Speaker 8: order at the drive through. He escaped around eight am

2166
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,680
Speaker 8: Tuesday morning, and they found him on Wednesday. They had

2167
02:02:14,720 --> 02:02:17,560
Speaker 8: a brief foot pursuit after they saw him nearby and

2168
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 8: eventually were able to take him into custody. And yes,

2169
02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:24,240
Speaker 8: the McDonald's workers will get the reward money for recognizing him.

2170
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:29,880
Speaker 8: So James Low Conrad escaping from jail and stopping McDonald's.

2171
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:31,360
Speaker 8: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2172
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,120
Speaker 2: So? I got? You know? What was it a happy meal?

2173
02:02:34,200 --> 02:02:37,160
Speaker 2: What was he ordering with me? Not so happy meal

2174
02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:44,440
Speaker 2: at this point? Gotta love it, all right, Patrick, your turn, buddy?

2175
02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 10: All right, everybody, Well we may not be in Ohio

2176
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:51,640
Speaker 10: where Kevin was with our mystery happy meal man, but

2177
02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:56,200
Speaker 10: we are going to Lake Barrington, Illinois, where a suburban

2178
02:02:56,280 --> 02:03:01,960
Speaker 10: Chicago man is facing firearm charges after he told officers.

2179
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:03,920
Speaker 9: He accidentally shot himself.

2180
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:07,280
Speaker 10: In the leg while dreaming that an intruder was breaking

2181
02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:11,480
Speaker 10: and entering into his own home. Deputies found this sixty

2182
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 10: two year old man with a gunshot wound on his leg, saying,

2183
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 10: telling investigators, I had a dream that someone was breaking

2184
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:22,160
Speaker 10: into my house, and so he retrieved his thirty three

2185
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:26,160
Speaker 10: hundred and fifty seven Magnum revolver and shot who he

2186
02:03:26,200 --> 02:03:29,880
Speaker 10: believed was, you know, intruding into his home. When he

2187
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:32,640
Speaker 10: woke up, he found that the intruder was not an

2188
02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:35,400
Speaker 10: intruder but a figment of his imagination, and it was

2189
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:38,840
Speaker 10: in fact what he had shot was his leg right

2190
02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:43,600
Speaker 10: right down on the on the just above the ankle

2191
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 10: or so.

2192
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:46,000
Speaker 2: Shot himself in the foot.

2193
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:47,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, he pretty much shot himself in the foot.

2194
02:03:48,840 --> 02:03:53,960
Speaker 10: Hey, yeah, So the kicker with this here is A

2195
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:59,440
Speaker 10: warrant was actually issued on June ninth for the man

2196
02:03:59,480 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 10: that's when it happened, on charges of possession of a

2197
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:07,320
Speaker 10: firearm without a valid fo I D card and also

2198
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 10: with reckless discharge of a firearm. Oh and by the way, everybody,

2199
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:14,120
Speaker 10: both of those are felonies. So he was arrested that

2200
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 10: Monday and released after posting bond, and online court records

2201
02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:21,680
Speaker 10: do not listen to attorney who could speak on this

2202
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:25,320
Speaker 10: man's behalf. So quite the conundrum from this guy. So,

2203
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:30,040
Speaker 10: mister Illinois Chicago man who shot himself in the foot, literally,

2204
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:31,640
Speaker 10: what kind of brand new fool are you?

2205
02:04:31,720 --> 02:04:31,920
Speaker 9: Sir?

2206
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:34,960
Speaker 2: So? He's a dream turned into a nightmare. That's that's

2207
02:04:35,040 --> 02:04:37,960
Speaker 2: that's a wacky one, because you would think you would

2208
02:04:38,160 --> 02:04:41,160
Speaker 2: wake up or something. I'm missing, I'm missing something here.

2209
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:43,800
Speaker 2: He shot himself but wasn't aware of it till later.

2210
02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 2: And you think he'd feel it or wake up, wouldn't you?

2211
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,440
Speaker 10: Well, no, no, so he when he shot what he

2212
02:04:48,440 --> 02:04:51,360
Speaker 10: thought was the dream and shooting. He once he shot

2213
02:04:51,440 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 10: and it hit his foot. Is when he woke him like,

2214
02:04:53,360 --> 02:04:55,240
Speaker 10: oh I shot my foot. So he called nine to

2215
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 10: one one like help, I shot my foot.

2216
02:04:57,800 --> 02:05:00,480
Speaker 2: And then he ends up getting charged. All right, ye guys,

2217
02:05:00,680 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 2: another rousing edition of what kind of brand new fool

2218
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:09,560
Speaker 2: of you, which perfectly segues into our second favorite bit

2219
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:12,520
Speaker 2: that we lovingly refer to as what my name?

2220
02:05:14,440 --> 02:05:14,520

Speaker 6: Right?

2222
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:18,000
Speaker 2: Here we go. You know, in Major League Baseball, the

2223
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:21,680
Speaker 2: stolen base has gone the way of the dodoberg and so,

2224
02:05:22,120 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 2: believe it or not, the last time somebody stole at

2225
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:27,560
Speaker 2: least seventy bases in the season was two thousand and nine.

2226
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:31,080
Speaker 2: So I'm the last major League baseball player to steal

2227
02:05:31,120 --> 02:05:34,040
Speaker 2: at least seventy stolen bases in one season. I did

2228
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:36,440
Speaker 2: it back in two thousand and nine. Kevin Wyatt, what

Speaker 2: player to steal at least seventy bases in a season.

2273
02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:01,800
Speaker 2: All right, I'm the only player in NBA history to

2274
02:08:01,880 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 2: win a league MVP and NBF Finals MVP and a

2275
02:08:05,120 --> 02:08:07,240
Speaker 2: sixth Man Award. Kevin Wyrett, what my name?

2276
02:08:07,320 --> 02:08:11,720
Speaker 8: SI Man Award? Scottie Pippen, Not Scottie Pippen.

2277
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 2: And he didn't like the way he was portrayed in

2278
02:08:14,040 --> 02:08:17,840
Speaker 2: the way you answered inside joke. All right, it's actually

2279
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:20,480
Speaker 2: Bill Walton. Bill Walton. If you get a chance to

2280
02:08:20,520 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 2: watch the thirty for thirty on ESPN, I love I

2281
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:28,000
Speaker 2: love Bill Walton. He's incredible picture of Nicola Jokick. But

2282
02:08:28,080 --> 02:08:30,320
Speaker 2: who can jump through the gym and is really fast?

2283
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Now you could get to bad rap for not being fast.

2284
02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,080
Speaker 2: He's faster than people think. He just his body type.

2285
02:08:36,080 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 2: But Walton was off the charts. Okay. Speaking of tall

2286
02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 2: basketball players, there have been seven players in the history

2287
02:08:42,200 --> 02:08:46,080
Speaker 2: of the NBA seven foot five, but only one of

2288
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:49,160
Speaker 2: them actually averaged more than ten points a game. I'm

2289
02:08:49,200 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 2: the only one. What my name, Kevin Wired. Got it

2290
02:08:54,160 --> 02:09:02,200
Speaker 2: nicely done? All right. I'm a fans athlete and I

2291
02:09:02,320 --> 02:09:04,960
Speaker 2: was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in the day,

2292
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:07,560
Speaker 2: but I actually snubbed him to go play for the

2293
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:10,680
Speaker 2: Kansas City Royals. Patrick Sweaker, what my name?

2294
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,760
Speaker 10: Ooh, oh my goodness.

2295
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 9: You know what, I'm just gonna go with, Uh? Who

2296
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:18,360
Speaker 9: is bo Jackson?

2297
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:24,080
Speaker 2: Bingal? And not only that, he's still continuing out with

2298
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:26,240
Speaker 2: the Jeopardy theme. I like it. I like it. Patrick,

2299
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:31,360
Speaker 2: He's very distinctive. All right, Friday Night, Ellie de la

2300
02:09:31,400 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Cruz or the Cincinnati Reds hit for the cycle. But

2301
02:09:35,200 --> 02:09:38,360
Speaker 2: I'm the last to do it before Ellie de la Cruz.

2302
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:41,360
Speaker 2: I did it back in July nineteen eighty nine. The

2303
02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:43,520
Speaker 2: last player for the Reds to hit for the cycle.

2304
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:46,000
Speaker 2: What my name? Kevin Wired.

2305
02:09:47,480 --> 02:09:51,800
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a tough one. Barry Larkin.

2306
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:55,880
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's an excellent guest. Larkin. That's about the time

2307
02:09:55,960 --> 02:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Larkin was coming up with the Reds too. It's not

2308
02:09:57,880 --> 02:10:00,960
Speaker 2: Barry Larkin, right, Ellie de la Cruz hit for the

2309
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:03,920
Speaker 2: cycle Friday Night for the Cincinnati Reds. I'm the last

2310
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:05,720
Speaker 2: player to do that for the Cincinnati Reds hit for

2311
02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:09,160
Speaker 2: the cycle? Did it? July second, nineteen eighty nine. Patrick Sweeka,

2312
02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:09,760
Speaker 2: What my name?

2313
02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:16,000
Speaker 10: Oh, let's see, you know what, who is Joey Vodo Vado?

2314
02:10:16,320 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 10: If I can never pronounce his last name, right, i'd

2315
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:20,720
Speaker 10: current player on the Reds right now.

2316
02:10:21,480 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 2: You'll have to forgive me. It was not Joey Vado.

2317
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 2: Joey Vado probably then was my four to four years old.

2318
02:10:27,200 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 2: What's interesting is, by the way, Joey Vado made his

2319
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:33,360
Speaker 2: debut in two thousand and seven, when Ellie de la

2320
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:37,160
Speaker 2: Cruz was like five years old. Anyway, But I digress,

2321
02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:40,960
Speaker 2: all right. I played today in the game in London

2322
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:44,080

Speaker 9: Who is Nolan Ronado?

2326
02:10:54,640 --> 02:10:58,000

Speaker 4: Adam Waynwright?

2330
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:10,360
Speaker 2: Not Adam Waynwright. It's actually Paul Goldschmidt. Paul gold Schmidt. Okay,

Speaker 2: of the hour. And by the way, NFL still having

2367
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:20,520
Speaker 2: trouble finding a team that's willing to go on hard knocks.

2368
02:13:20,560 --> 02:13:23,120
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up. At first, Let's get

2369
02:13:23,120 --> 02:13:26,800
Speaker 2: to Patrick SWEEKA and the progressive power play of the day.

2370
02:13:27,360 --> 02:13:32,160
Speaker 11: Seven seventh, Bottom of the eighth buck Buck has just

2371
02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:35,720
Speaker 11: been paused at Stannik is raising his hands in the

2372
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:40,360
Speaker 11: air to second pag umpire why, Well, the Dodgers having

2373
02:13:40,400 --> 02:13:43,400
Speaker 11: eight to seventh league at Stanek is furious.

2374
02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:47,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you. When the play of the day

2375
02:13:47,160 --> 02:13:49,560
Speaker 2: is a balk, it must be a pretty damn big deal.

2376
02:13:49,920 --> 02:13:55,600
Speaker 2: And it was courtesy of LA Sports. Dodgers Radio Network

2377
02:13:56,280 --> 02:14:00,880
Speaker 2: got to love it, by the way. You know, I

2378
02:14:00,880 --> 02:14:03,800
Speaker 2: know we've talked about this. The NFL is weeks away.

2379
02:14:04,360 --> 02:14:08,760
Speaker 2: It's days away literally from training camps opening, and you

2380
02:14:08,760 --> 02:14:11,280
Speaker 2: know they're right of passage by now. You better get

2381
02:14:11,320 --> 02:14:15,680
Speaker 2: your camera crews ready, your travel arrangements. The NFL is

2382
02:14:15,840 --> 02:14:19,440
Speaker 2: still having trouble finding a hard knocks team for twenty

2383
02:14:19,480 --> 02:14:24,400
Speaker 2: twenty three. I've heard they've even reapproached the Detroit Lions.

2384
02:14:24,560 --> 02:14:28,800
Speaker 2: It's true that the Lions were asked to return on

2385
02:14:28,920 --> 02:14:33,880
Speaker 2: Hard knocks, but they passed. I understand why, and they're

2386
02:14:33,920 --> 02:14:37,200
Speaker 2: having a tough time. Now here's the deal. We're almost

2387
02:14:37,240 --> 02:14:39,960
Speaker 2: in July. This is unheard of. The league still hasn't

2388
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:42,160
Speaker 2: made an announcement about which team's getting the hard knocks

2389
02:14:42,200 --> 02:14:46,880
Speaker 2: treatment last year to get us some perspective. In twenty

2390
02:14:46,960 --> 02:14:49,800
Speaker 2: twenty two, we all knew in March that the Lions

2391
02:14:49,800 --> 02:14:55,000
Speaker 2: were getting picked, and according to the Detroit News just

2392
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:58,160
Speaker 2: this last week. The NFL has had such a tough

2393
02:14:58,200 --> 02:15:01,480
Speaker 2: time finding a team. The league actually asked the Lions

2394
02:15:01,520 --> 02:15:03,920
Speaker 2: to return for twenty twenty three, but Detroit said no,

2395
02:15:04,560 --> 02:15:06,880
Speaker 2: So they're back at square one. Too bad. You're not

2396
02:15:06,920 --> 02:15:10,800
Speaker 2: going to see anymore Dan Campbell. You know great speeches.

2397
02:15:11,400 --> 02:15:14,240
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, The Lions were very entertaining last year

2398
02:15:14,880 --> 02:15:19,160
Speaker 2: on Hard Knocks. They wined the season with very little

2399
02:15:19,200 --> 02:15:23,120
Speaker 2: expectations from folks, and they ended up finishing very strong,

2400
02:15:23,600 --> 02:15:25,880
Speaker 2: and they earned their right to be part of the

2401
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:30,360
Speaker 2: national tapestry as they will open up in the annual

2402
02:15:30,440 --> 02:15:35,400
Speaker 2: kickoff game Thursday, September seventh at Kansas City. Is a

2403
02:15:35,400 --> 02:15:39,600
Speaker 2: seven point favorite. But I digress. Remember if Hard Knocks

2404
02:15:39,600 --> 02:15:43,480
Speaker 2: does have a formula and a team doesn't have to

2405
02:15:43,520 --> 02:15:46,080
Speaker 2: be on the show if any of the three rules,

2406
02:15:46,560 --> 02:15:49,640
Speaker 2: any of these three rules apply to them. One, they

2407
02:15:49,640 --> 02:15:53,240
Speaker 2: have a first year head coach in place, they have

2408
02:15:53,320 --> 02:15:56,960
Speaker 2: a playoff berth in the last two seasons, and they've

2409
02:15:56,960 --> 02:15:59,760
Speaker 2: appeared on Hard Knocks at least once in the last

2410
02:15:59,760 --> 02:16:02,520
Speaker 2: ten years. For instance, the Broncos, they don't have to

2411
02:16:02,560 --> 02:16:04,360
Speaker 2: be on the show this year because they're gonna have

2412
02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:07,080
Speaker 2: a new head coach. The Patriots, they don't have to

2413
02:16:07,120 --> 02:16:08,520
Speaker 2: be on the show. They could turn it down because

2414
02:16:08,520 --> 02:16:10,880
Speaker 2: they made the playoffs at least once in the last

2415
02:16:10,880 --> 02:16:13,200
Speaker 2: two seasons. State the Cowboys, they won't have to be

2416
02:16:13,280 --> 02:16:16,040
Speaker 2: on the show because they've been on Hard Knocks in

2417
02:16:16,080 --> 02:16:18,600
Speaker 2: the last ten years. So when you factor in those

2418
02:16:18,640 --> 02:16:21,080
Speaker 2: three rules that apply them to everyone, you're left with

2419
02:16:21,160 --> 02:16:25,360
Speaker 2: only four teams that the NFL can technically force to

2420
02:16:25,400 --> 02:16:27,840
Speaker 2: be on Hard Knocks this year. The New York Jets,

2421
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:31,960
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears, the New Orleans Saints, and the Washington Commanders.

2422
02:16:32,959 --> 02:16:35,720
Speaker 2: The obvious choice here would seem to be the Jets,

2423
02:16:37,320 --> 02:16:43,200
Speaker 2: given Aaron Rodgers and his hyahuasca craziness and dark retreats

2424
02:16:43,240 --> 02:16:47,759
Speaker 2: and loves talking and now he's even speakers and conferences

2425
02:16:47,800 --> 02:16:52,520
Speaker 2: and psychondelics conferences. Aren't you mildly curious to how he

2426
02:16:52,720 --> 02:16:54,840
Speaker 2: meshes with the New York Jets. I mean, I know

2427
02:16:54,879 --> 02:17:00,640
Speaker 2: it's all orchestrated on camera and everything, but don't want to.

2428
02:17:01,120 --> 02:17:03,360
Speaker 2: The Jets don't want to. Robert Salad, their head coach,

2429
02:17:03,400 --> 02:17:06,080
Speaker 2: has basically said, we know there are a lot of

2430
02:17:06,280 --> 02:17:09,080
Speaker 2: teams that would love to be on Hard Knocks. We're

2431
02:17:09,120 --> 02:17:14,160
Speaker 2: not one of them. And It's probably also worth noting

2432
02:17:14,200 --> 02:17:16,720
Speaker 2: that one of the Jets players are Special Teams Captain

2433
02:17:16,879 --> 02:17:19,120
Speaker 2: Justin Hardy. He said, we want nothing to do with

2434
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:21,120
Speaker 2: the show. He believes it would be a distraction. I

2435
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:23,400
Speaker 2: quote him. He said, man, y'all can give hard knocks

2436
02:17:23,400 --> 02:17:25,760
Speaker 2: to another team. Were trying to focus and win and

2437
02:17:25,760 --> 02:17:29,920
Speaker 2: that's a distraction. And I understand that the Jets are

2438
02:17:30,520 --> 02:17:32,200
Speaker 2: on the short list to a team that can get

2439
02:17:32,200 --> 02:17:35,120
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. Let's not forget their owner. Woody

2440
02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:38,640
Speaker 2: Johnson gave a very noncommittal answer. He was asked about

2441
02:17:38,640 --> 02:17:41,320
Speaker 2: doing hard Knocks at the annual league meeting back in March,

2442
02:17:42,400 --> 02:17:47,120
Speaker 2: so you know, he even said, if we take a

2443
02:17:47,120 --> 02:17:50,800
Speaker 2: look at doing you know, hard knocks this year, Woody

2444
02:17:50,840 --> 02:17:52,680
Speaker 2: Johnson said, we'd have to take a real hard look.

2445
02:17:52,920 --> 02:17:55,959
Speaker 2: And I think he's on the fence. And if you

2446
02:17:55,959 --> 02:17:57,600
Speaker 2: were in favor of doing it, there are owners, I mean,

2447
02:17:57,640 --> 02:18:03,440
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones loves hard knocks. He did, you know, Woody

2448
02:18:03,520 --> 02:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Johnson made it clear that he's on the fence. He's

2449
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:11,760
Speaker 2: just not in favor of doing it. Back in twenty twelve,

2450
02:18:12,560 --> 02:18:16,840
Speaker 2: it's my understanding Woody Johnson and the Jets were campaigning

2451
02:18:17,080 --> 02:18:18,800
Speaker 2: to be on hard Knocks, but they didn't get picked

2452
02:18:18,800 --> 02:18:20,840
Speaker 2: that year. They were on hard Knocks in twenty ten,

2453
02:18:22,360 --> 02:18:24,720
Speaker 2: and Rex Ryan, of course was worth the price of

2454
02:18:24,760 --> 02:18:28,800
Speaker 2: admission because he he was dropping f bombs and you know,

2455
02:18:29,120 --> 02:18:32,959
Speaker 2: being Rex Ryan. Another coach Adamantlee against is Dennis Allen,

2456
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:34,600
Speaker 2: the head coach of the Saints. He gave a pretty

2457
02:18:34,600 --> 02:18:37,400
Speaker 2: clear answer back on June sixth, he was asked, how

2458
02:18:37,440 --> 02:18:39,279
Speaker 2: would you feel if your team got picked for the Showers.

2459
02:18:39,280 --> 02:18:41,600
Speaker 2: I don't want it. I don't like it. I want

2460
02:18:41,600 --> 02:18:44,280
Speaker 2: our team to focus on winning and getting better and

2461
02:18:44,320 --> 02:18:47,840
Speaker 2: these are distractions. And you know what, after twenty years

2462
02:18:47,879 --> 02:18:49,720
Speaker 2: he start to wonder if Hard Knox is maybe losing

2463
02:18:49,720 --> 02:18:52,080
Speaker 2: its luster. Right, So it looks like the Saints and

2464
02:18:52,160 --> 02:18:54,560
Speaker 2: Jets are out. How about the Bears? They're out two

2465
02:18:55,120 --> 02:18:57,640
Speaker 2: In the annual league meeting, George mccaskey's made it clear,

2466
02:18:58,560 --> 02:19:00,480
Speaker 2: give it to another team, right, there are plenty of

2467
02:19:00,520 --> 02:19:03,480
Speaker 2: other teams. They have compelling stories, thirty one others, which

2468
02:19:03,600 --> 02:19:08,120
Speaker 2: leaves the Washington Commanders and they're you know, one of

2469
02:19:08,160 --> 02:19:11,160
Speaker 2: their defensive players, Jeremy Reeves, he was at the league

2470
02:19:11,160 --> 02:19:14,240
Speaker 2: meetings too. It says he's not very interested and I

2471
02:19:14,240 --> 02:19:17,200
Speaker 2: don't think Ron Rivera is interested. Something's got to give here,

2472
02:19:17,440 --> 02:19:20,200
Speaker 2: and it's got to give pretty quickly because they need

2473
02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:22,800
Speaker 2: to get this thing in gear. My vote clearly is

2474
02:19:22,840 --> 02:19:26,800
Speaker 2: the New York Jets. We'll see what happens. Speaking of football,

2475
02:19:26,840 --> 02:19:30,600
Speaker 2: the other football always news, including an interesting game today

2476
02:19:30,600 --> 02:19:33,879
Speaker 2: between USA and Jamaica. Well that's why we bring you

2477
02:19:33,920 --> 02:19:36,959
Speaker 2: every week, this time Chris Burfittzworld Soccer. But first let's

2478
02:19:37,000 --> 02:19:39,640
Speaker 2: go back to our guy, Kevin Wired for the latest.

2479
02:19:40,360 --> 02:19:42,840
Speaker 8: Well, it was an offensive output for the record books

2480
02:19:42,840 --> 02:19:46,400
Speaker 8: for the La Angels. They dismantled the Rockies twenty five

2481
02:19:46,440 --> 02:19:48,360
Speaker 8: to one and led twenty three to nothing after just

2482
02:19:48,440 --> 02:19:50,800
Speaker 8: four innings, and it's the most run scored in the

2483
02:19:50,800 --> 02:19:52,720
Speaker 8: first four innings of a game in the last fifty

2484
02:19:52,879 --> 02:19:56,440
Speaker 8: years and the franchise record. The previous franchise record for

2485
02:19:57,040 --> 02:20:00,240
Speaker 8: the Halos was a twenty four run output against the

2486
02:20:00,280 --> 02:20:03,560
Speaker 8: Toronto Blue Jays back in nineteen seventy nine. So Saturday

2487
02:20:03,640 --> 02:20:07,360
Speaker 8: Night was a new franchise mark and just an interesting

2488
02:20:07,400 --> 02:20:10,279
Speaker 8: fact to the twenty twenty two season for the Denver Broncos.

2489
02:20:10,320 --> 02:20:12,600
Speaker 8: As poorly as a one, they only lost one game

2490
02:20:12,640 --> 02:20:15,400
Speaker 8: by a twenty four point margin in the Colorado Rockies

2491
02:20:15,920 --> 02:20:19,080
Speaker 8: match that In baseball on Saturday, there was a trade

2492
02:20:19,120 --> 02:20:23,720
Speaker 8: that went through Mike Mustakis going from the Rockies to

2493
02:20:23,920 --> 02:20:27,160
Speaker 8: the Angels after that game concluded. He is being traded

2494
02:20:27,160 --> 02:20:31,240
Speaker 8: in exchange for a couple of minor league players. Another

2495
02:20:31,520 --> 02:20:34,600
Speaker 8: game involving a Los Angeles team, the Dodgers playing the

2496
02:20:34,640 --> 02:20:37,600
Speaker 8: Astros and they get the go ahead run on a

2497
02:20:37,720 --> 02:20:40,280
Speaker 8: bock call in the bottom of the eighth inning and

2498
02:20:40,320 --> 02:20:42,440
Speaker 8: they end up beating the Astros because of that, eight

2499
02:20:42,480 --> 02:20:45,560
Speaker 8: to seven. The Giants beat the Diamondbacks seven to six.

2500
02:20:45,600 --> 02:20:47,680
Speaker 8: They're now a game and a half back of Arizona.

2501
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:50,720
Speaker 8: The Cubs beat the Cardinals in London at nine to one.

2502
02:20:50,879 --> 02:20:53,119
Speaker 8: The Reds had a twelve game winning streak. They were

2503
02:20:53,120 --> 02:20:55,439
Speaker 8: on fire, and that comes to an end on Saturday

2504
02:20:55,800 --> 02:20:58,440
Speaker 8: as the Brads made them seven to six. The Blue

2505
02:20:58,520 --> 02:21:01,320
Speaker 8: Jays beat the Athletics of three. Is Oakland now just

2506
02:21:01,360 --> 02:21:04,520
Speaker 8: twenty and fifty nine on the season. The Royals aren't

2507
02:21:04,600 --> 02:21:06,600
Speaker 8: much better, but they do beat the best team in baseball,

2508
02:21:06,640 --> 02:21:10,800
Speaker 8: the Tampa Bay Rays, nine to four. The upstart Orioles.

2509
02:21:10,840 --> 02:21:13,080
Speaker 8: They get an extra innings win against the Mariners six

2510
02:21:13,120 --> 02:21:16,080
Speaker 8: to four. The Mets beat the Phillies four to two,

2511
02:21:16,160 --> 02:21:19,680
Speaker 8: Yankee shutting out the Texas Rangers one to nothing. College

2512
02:21:19,680 --> 02:21:23,760
Speaker 8: World Series Game one of the Championship round, LSU with

2513
02:21:23,800 --> 02:21:26,560
Speaker 8: an eleventh inning home run to beat the Florida Gators

2514
02:21:27,040 --> 02:21:31,520
Speaker 8: four to three. US Men's soccer in the opening game

2515
02:21:31,560 --> 02:21:33,680
Speaker 8: of the Gold Cup tournament, they played to a draw

2516
02:21:33,760 --> 02:21:35,240
Speaker 8: against Jamaica.

2517
02:21:35,360 --> 02:21:36,400
Speaker 4: Back over to you, Bernie.

2518
02:21:36,640 --> 02:21:42,320
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin. Well, you heard Kevin's update talking

2519
02:21:42,320 --> 02:21:46,000
Speaker 2: about the draw against Jamaica, and Women's World Cup is

2520
02:21:46,320 --> 02:21:50,560
Speaker 2: now less than thirty days away. The Gold Cup has started.

2521
02:21:50,600 --> 02:21:54,440
Speaker 2: Messi's coming to Miami. There's never a shortage of news

2522
02:21:54,440 --> 02:21:57,200
Speaker 2: when it comes to the game of soccer, which is

2523
02:21:57,200 --> 02:21:59,320
Speaker 2: why every week at this time we bring you Chris

2524
02:21:59,320 --> 02:22:01,279
Speaker 2: purfetz Ruld of soccer.

2525
02:22:02,400 --> 02:22:13,199
Speaker 12: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2526
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:15,320
Speaker 4: Him.

2527
02:22:18,200 --> 02:22:21,680
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

2528
02:22:22,280 --> 02:22:26,039
Speaker 13: Last Sunday, the United States captured their second consecutive CONCA

2529
02:22:26,120 --> 02:22:30,320
Speaker 13: CAFF Nations League title with a two nil thrashing of

2530
02:22:30,400 --> 02:22:35,240
Speaker 13: Canada in Las Vegas. As follow room Ballagun got on

2531
02:22:35,280 --> 02:22:38,199
Speaker 13: the board finally for the United States, his first goal

2532
02:22:38,280 --> 02:22:42,400
Speaker 13: for the US there as part of that game, Giovanni

2533
02:22:42,480 --> 02:22:45,600
Speaker 13: Rainda also with two assists, bringing his total four the

2534
02:22:45,640 --> 02:22:49,320
Speaker 13: tournament two to three assists in a goal. A very

2535
02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:52,520
Speaker 13: good showing for the United States looking to see how

2536
02:22:52,520 --> 02:22:55,800
Speaker 13: they would rebound coming out of the World Cup, and

2537
02:22:55,920 --> 02:22:58,520
Speaker 13: here they are. They've just now captured their second title,

2538
02:22:58,680 --> 02:23:01,080
Speaker 13: proving they are still the forced we reckon with in

2539
02:23:01,240 --> 02:23:03,920
Speaker 13: Conca calf and it's probably not even close to this point.

2540
02:23:04,320 --> 02:23:06,800
Speaker 13: While Canada looked like they had been a rising talent

2541
02:23:06,840 --> 02:23:08,360
Speaker 13: for a bit, a lot of that was based around

2542
02:23:08,400 --> 02:23:11,640
Speaker 13: their star of Fonso Davies, and to be honest, Davies,

2543
02:23:11,640 --> 02:23:14,000
Speaker 13: even when he got loose, proved that there was nothing

2544
02:23:14,040 --> 02:23:18,039
Speaker 13: around him where that could support him in any kind

2545
02:23:18,080 --> 02:23:21,400
Speaker 13: of goal scoring and Canada just really suffered in the box.

2546
02:23:21,680 --> 02:23:23,920
Speaker 13: But the story out of Nations League wasn't really the

2547
02:23:23,920 --> 02:23:26,240
Speaker 13: thrashing of Canada, but it was the match prior for

2548
02:23:26,280 --> 02:23:29,760
Speaker 13: the United States against their old rivals in Mexico, who

2549
02:23:29,800 --> 02:23:32,720
Speaker 13: have gone through quite a few changes since the World Cup,

2550
02:23:32,760 --> 02:23:36,440
Speaker 13: including I believe a couple of coach changes at this point.

2551
02:23:36,879 --> 02:23:40,240
Speaker 13: The US dominated Mexico three to ziol again in Las Vegas,

2552
02:23:40,480 --> 02:23:42,879
Speaker 13: but that wasn't the story. The story was how the

2553
02:23:42,879 --> 02:23:45,960
Speaker 13: game descended into pure madness. Near the end, after the

2554
02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:48,959
Speaker 13: ninetieth minute or so, a brawl broke out between the

2555
02:23:49,000 --> 02:23:54,680
Speaker 13: American and Mexican players and we and four red cards

2556
02:23:54,680 --> 02:23:58,000
Speaker 13: were handed out, two to United States players, two to

2557
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:02,240
Speaker 13: Mexican players. Shirts were ripped in this brawl as well.

2558
02:24:02,240 --> 02:24:05,920
Speaker 13: We'll get into the repercussions of that. As always, the

2559
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:09,760
Speaker 13: Mexican supporters then broke out into their chance of homophobic slurs,

2560
02:24:10,040 --> 02:24:13,920
Speaker 13: which has been penalized repeatedly over and over by FIFA,

2561
02:24:13,959 --> 02:24:15,800
Speaker 13: who has tried to get them to stop doing this

2562
02:24:16,120 --> 02:24:18,480
Speaker 13: to little available in spite of how often it seems

2563
02:24:18,520 --> 02:24:21,280
Speaker 13: to roll out. On top of all of this, all

2564
02:24:21,320 --> 02:24:23,600
Speaker 13: four players who got red cards in that game are

2565
02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:27,800
Speaker 13: getting multiple match suspensions for the US. That means Weston McKenny,

2566
02:24:27,879 --> 02:24:30,279
Speaker 13: whose shirt was ripped in the brawl, he's getting four

2567
02:24:30,360 --> 02:24:34,720
Speaker 13: game suspension and Serginodst is getting three. This would be

2568
02:24:34,800 --> 02:24:37,320
Speaker 13: a problem in that the United States is now here

2569
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:42,640
Speaker 13: On Saturday, opening opened up their World Cup quest against Jamaica. However,

2570
02:24:42,760 --> 02:24:47,080
Speaker 13: to start this quest, the US announced just only five

2571
02:24:47,200 --> 02:24:49,560
Speaker 13: players from their nation's league team is going to be

2572
02:24:49,600 --> 02:24:53,200
Speaker 13: playing in the Cup. Sean Johnson Matt Turner, Miles Robinson,

2573
02:24:53,760 --> 02:24:57,680
Speaker 13: Alan Sonora and Alex Sandejas. So probably not even to

2574
02:24:57,720 --> 02:25:00,760
Speaker 13: see them there that much, but you know it's they're

2575
02:25:00,800 --> 02:25:02,760
Speaker 13: not going to miss much here in the group play.

2576
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:06,280
Speaker 13: I mentioned Jamaica. The rest of Group A includes Saint

2577
02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:09,800
Speaker 13: Kitts and Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago. The US will

2578
02:25:09,840 --> 02:25:12,240
Speaker 13: be really proving its depth here at the Gold Cup

2579
02:25:12,280 --> 02:25:15,240
Speaker 13: to try to capture both back to back in very

2580
02:25:15,320 --> 02:25:18,320
Speaker 13: quick succession. And to be honest, I think in most

2581
02:25:18,320 --> 02:25:24,280
Speaker 13: cases the Gold Cup is the more prestigious reward to take. However,

2582
02:25:24,640 --> 02:25:27,400
Speaker 13: getting good at Nations League right now is probably a

2583
02:25:27,440 --> 02:25:31,640
Speaker 13: good idea because next year the Nation's League in Conca

2584
02:25:31,680 --> 02:25:35,879
Speaker 13: Calf will determine a place in a far more prestigious competition,

2585
02:25:36,879 --> 02:25:40,360
Speaker 13: the twenty twenty four Copa America. One of the new

2586
02:25:40,440 --> 02:25:43,200
Speaker 13: changes that's come here is that con Moobil has welcomed

2587
02:25:43,240 --> 02:25:47,080
Speaker 13: in the Commable, the governing body of South American Soccer

2588
02:25:47,360 --> 02:25:50,720
Speaker 13: has welcomed in Conca Calf and so this new tournament

2589
02:25:50,760 --> 02:25:53,039
Speaker 13: in twenty twenty four for the Copa America will include

2590
02:25:53,240 --> 02:25:57,240
Speaker 13: the all ten nation teams from Conmobile from South America,

2591
02:25:57,320 --> 02:26:00,560
Speaker 13: but also the top six ranked CONCA CALF Nations, including

2592
02:26:00,560 --> 02:26:04,680
Speaker 13: winners and some of the high finishers from the CONCA

2593
02:26:04,680 --> 02:26:07,959
Speaker 13: caff Nations League for twenty twenty three through twenty twenty four.

2594
02:26:08,959 --> 02:26:11,320
Speaker 13: The competition itself will even take place in the United

2595
02:26:11,320 --> 02:26:14,800
Speaker 13: States from June twentieth to July fourteenth, and I'm sure

2596
02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:17,640
Speaker 13: behind it all, if nothing else, there is quite a

2597
02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:20,480
Speaker 13: bit of money to be made hosting the competition in

2598
02:26:20,520 --> 02:26:23,840
Speaker 13: the United States. For the United States, though, this is

2599
02:26:23,879 --> 02:26:27,520
Speaker 13: a great revelation if they can play in Copa America.

2600
02:26:27,560 --> 02:26:30,440
Speaker 13: We've talked about this before leading up to the World Cup.

2601
02:26:30,560 --> 02:26:34,040
Speaker 13: Conca calf is a very shallow pool. The North American

2602
02:26:34,520 --> 02:26:37,200
Speaker 13: region does not have a lot of good teams, and

2603
02:26:37,320 --> 02:26:39,920
Speaker 13: with the falling off of Mexico, there is really no

2604
02:26:40,160 --> 02:26:43,000
Speaker 13: iron to sharpen iron For the United States. They have

2605
02:26:43,040 --> 02:26:45,600
Speaker 13: to get by with playing friendlies from the two dominant

2606
02:26:45,640 --> 02:26:49,400
Speaker 13: regions of the world in Europe and in South America.

2607
02:26:49,440 --> 02:26:52,800
Speaker 13: So getting to compete in the Copa America would be

2608
02:26:52,920 --> 02:26:55,840
Speaker 13: utterly fantastic for the United States, which continues to look

2609
02:26:55,920 --> 02:26:59,240
Speaker 13: for its hopes at some point down the road, maybe

2610
02:26:59,280 --> 02:27:02,120
Speaker 13: just maybe trying to get even further in a World Cup,

2611
02:27:02,280 --> 02:27:04,400
Speaker 13: and that's not the only development hanging over the head

2612
02:27:04,400 --> 02:27:07,520
Speaker 13: of the US men's team. There is now also the

2613
02:27:07,560 --> 02:27:10,760
Speaker 13: news that Greg Burhalter will return to coach the team.

2614
02:27:11,080 --> 02:27:14,000
Speaker 13: I'm not sure how to really take this development. On

2615
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:16,880
Speaker 13: one hand, Burhalter's record speaks for himself. He's one over

2616
02:27:16,879 --> 02:27:19,200
Speaker 13: seventy one percent of the matches he's coached. On the

2617
02:27:19,200 --> 02:27:22,960
Speaker 13: other hand, I thought that with the chaos surrounding him

2618
02:27:23,040 --> 02:27:25,520
Speaker 13: following the end of his contract of the World Cup,

2619
02:27:25,800 --> 02:27:28,279
Speaker 13: I thought it was a chance maybe to clean house

2620
02:27:28,600 --> 02:27:30,840
Speaker 13: for the United States, to really put a new, fresh

2621
02:27:30,840 --> 02:27:33,360
Speaker 13: paint on things and really start to look in a

2622
02:27:33,400 --> 02:27:37,000
Speaker 13: new direction, especially with how Berholter handled his roster in

2623
02:27:37,080 --> 02:27:39,720
Speaker 13: the World Cup. And I've thought that bj Callahan has

2624
02:27:39,760 --> 02:27:44,120
Speaker 13: done fairly well in manage in coaching this Nation's League team.

2625
02:27:44,280 --> 02:27:46,880
Speaker 13: Callahan will continue to prove what he can do because

2626
02:27:46,920 --> 02:27:49,480
Speaker 13: he's also coaching this Gold Cup team. In Burhlter, I

2627
02:27:49,520 --> 02:27:53,160
Speaker 13: believe will join the US men's team following the conclusion

2628
02:27:53,240 --> 02:27:56,240
Speaker 13: of that tournament. As we mentioned, he'll have to prove

2629
02:27:56,280 --> 02:27:58,959
Speaker 13: it in the Gold Cup with a lot fewer of

2630
02:27:59,040 --> 02:28:01,640
Speaker 13: his star players. Lot of the US players playing for

2631
02:28:01,680 --> 02:28:04,039
Speaker 13: the Gold Cup are MLS players, so we'll see how

2632
02:28:04,080 --> 02:28:07,879
Speaker 13: they handle this, and we'll see how Berhalter handles the

2633
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:11,039
Speaker 13: entire roster when he returns, and that's something we'll continue

2634
02:28:11,040 --> 02:28:13,160
Speaker 13: to keep an eye on here on the world of soccer.

2635
02:28:14,440 --> 02:28:17,160
Speaker 2: There you have it, World of soccer. They're already planning

2636
02:28:17,200 --> 02:28:19,760
Speaker 2: for the Men's World Cup, which will be played in

2637
02:28:19,800 --> 02:28:23,959
Speaker 2: North America, and the Women's World Cup. Our US women's

2638
02:28:23,959 --> 02:28:27,120
Speaker 2: team will be looking for a three peat and England

2639
02:28:27,160 --> 02:28:30,360
Speaker 2: will be no slouch. It'll be a rough battle that

2640
02:28:30,480 --> 02:28:33,119
Speaker 2: starts up here in Paris toward the end of July,

2641
02:28:33,240 --> 02:28:37,200
Speaker 2: and Messi makes his debut in Miami. Interer Miami July

2642
02:28:37,320 --> 02:28:40,040
Speaker 2: twenty first. Lots to talk about in the world of

2643
02:28:40,080 --> 02:28:44,480
Speaker 2: soccer coming up? What a year a difference makes? Let

2644
02:28:44,480 --> 02:28:47,640
Speaker 2: me try that again in English, What a difference a

2645
02:28:47,760 --> 02:28:51,720
Speaker 2: year makes, especially if you live in the Queen City.

2646
02:28:52,280 --> 02:28:54,959
Speaker 2: I'll explain. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Company Life from the Las

2647
02:28:55,040 --> 02:28:58,600
Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios, tyrack dot com. Keep it locked,

2648
02:28:58,800 --> 02:29:01,160
Speaker 2: you're listening to the Bernie fraddlesh on Fox Sports Radio.

2649
02:29:05,280 --> 02:29:08,199
Speaker 2: All right, wrapping it up on the Bernie fattle Show

2650
02:29:09,040 --> 02:29:12,600
Speaker 2: Company Live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tire

2651
02:29:12,680 --> 02:29:16,440
Speaker 2: rack dot Com. Studios. Before I go any further, I

2652
02:29:16,440 --> 02:29:18,879
Speaker 2: want to thank my broadcast team back in Los Angeles.

2653
02:29:18,959 --> 02:29:23,400
Speaker 2: They've been with me since eleven pm Pacific on Saturday night.

2654
02:29:23,480 --> 02:29:27,720
Speaker 2: That would be Mark Ramsey, our technical producer of course,

2655
02:29:27,800 --> 02:29:31,680
Speaker 2: Kevin wired on the updates, and Patrick Sweka turning all

2656
02:29:31,720 --> 02:29:34,440
Speaker 2: the dials keeping us glued together. Great job tonight, guys

2657
02:29:34,480 --> 02:29:36,320
Speaker 2: on what kind of brand new fool you? What my Name?

2658
02:29:36,360 --> 02:29:39,320
Speaker 2: And all the other high jinks as well. It's very

2659
02:29:39,360 --> 02:29:44,359
Speaker 2: sad news Saturday night, very sad news. The Cincinnati Reds

2660
02:29:44,840 --> 02:29:48,400
Speaker 2: twelve game winning streak came to an end. Yes, they

2661
02:29:48,440 --> 02:29:50,280
Speaker 2: lost seven to six to the Braves at the Great

2662
02:29:50,280 --> 02:29:55,000
Speaker 2: American Ballpark, but like so many other games in this stretch,

2663
02:29:55,840 --> 02:29:59,920
Speaker 2: it came down to the last out. Here's the facts.

2664
02:30:01,480 --> 02:30:05,920
Speaker 2: When you look at the Reds this season, they have

2665
02:30:06,200 --> 02:30:10,080
Speaker 2: twenty six come from behind wins, and even during their

2666
02:30:10,120 --> 02:30:14,320
Speaker 2: twelve game winning streak, they trailed at some point in

2667
02:30:14,480 --> 02:30:18,160
Speaker 2: seven of those twelve games. Right on Q Saturday Night,

2668
02:30:18,200 --> 02:30:22,880
Speaker 2: they fell behind in the second inning against Atlanta, and

2669
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:27,760
Speaker 2: although they got within a run multiple times Saturday night,

2670
02:30:27,959 --> 02:30:32,199
Speaker 2: the Reds could never get over the hump. Even after

2671
02:30:32,200 --> 02:30:34,680
Speaker 2: they hit back to back dingers in the bottom of

2672
02:30:34,720 --> 02:30:38,920
Speaker 2: the ninth against the Braves and their closer Rail Iglesias,

2673
02:30:39,160 --> 02:30:44,960
Speaker 2: who coincidentally is a former Cincinnati Red. So the streak ends.

2674
02:30:45,520 --> 02:30:49,680
Speaker 2: It's sad. It started back on June tenth in Saint Louis.

2675
02:30:50,240 --> 02:30:53,360
Speaker 2: The Reds beat the Cards eight to four. And here's

2676
02:30:53,400 --> 02:30:57,440
Speaker 2: the kicker. Cincinnati entered that game with a record of

2677
02:30:57,560 --> 02:31:00,240
Speaker 2: twenty nine up and thirty five down. As Marvel Albert

2678
02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:04,880
Speaker 2: would say, not open thirty five don Yes, they want

2679
02:31:04,920 --> 02:31:08,240
Speaker 2: to call out and call time out and talk about it.

2680
02:31:08,600 --> 02:31:12,160
Speaker 2: They sat in third place in the National League Center.

2681
02:31:12,240 --> 02:31:14,560
Speaker 2: That was brutal. I should have warmed up, went worse

2682
02:31:14,560 --> 02:31:17,520
Speaker 2: some rehearsals, So forget it all right with the loss, though,

2683
02:31:17,560 --> 02:31:19,879
Speaker 2: here's the good news. The Reds are still forty one

2684
02:31:19,920 --> 02:31:23,119
Speaker 2: and thirty six. They lead the NL Central by one

2685
02:31:23,120 --> 02:31:28,840
Speaker 2: and a half games because Milwaukee lost in Cleveland Saturday

2686
02:31:28,920 --> 02:31:31,840
Speaker 2: night as well. How the hell did this Reds team

2687
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:35,200
Speaker 2: manage to win twelve games in a row? And I

2688
02:31:35,240 --> 02:31:38,760
Speaker 2: asked that in a positive light, not questioning it because

2689
02:31:38,760 --> 02:31:41,640
Speaker 2: they earned it, because it wasn't. It wasn't because their

2690
02:31:41,680 --> 02:31:44,920
Speaker 2: starting pitching. The Reds head he gets so many come

2691
02:31:44,959 --> 02:31:49,720
Speaker 2: from behind wins during the street because they kept falling behind.

2692
02:31:50,480 --> 02:31:52,720
Speaker 2: That was always my beef about Matt Stafford, you know,

2693
02:31:53,040 --> 02:31:55,320
Speaker 2: giving him credit for come behind come from behind wins,

2694
02:31:55,360 --> 02:31:57,720
Speaker 2: because he caused him to fall behind. He's throwing dumb

2695
02:31:57,760 --> 02:31:59,920
Speaker 2: picks early in the game. Don't get me started. Maybe

2696
02:32:01,120 --> 02:32:05,000
Speaker 2: that's a story for another day. But you know, throw

2697
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:07,480
Speaker 2: the Reds at bone, come on, baseball Gods. Their top

2698
02:32:07,480 --> 02:32:11,640
Speaker 2: two starters, Hunter Green Nicolodolo currently on the injured list.

2699
02:32:12,280 --> 02:32:12,320
Speaker 5: No.

2700
02:32:12,640 --> 02:32:15,680
Speaker 2: Green did make two starts, while Graham Ashcraft, who started

2701
02:32:15,720 --> 02:32:19,039
Speaker 2: the season in the rotation, came off the Ale Saturday.

2702
02:32:19,200 --> 02:32:24,080
Speaker 2: He took the loss. But here's the good news. Although

2703
02:32:24,120 --> 02:32:28,279
Speaker 2: the starters have struggled, the offense has been pretty prolific.

2704
02:32:28,760 --> 02:32:32,640
Speaker 2: The Reds in the streak averaged six points six runs

2705
02:32:32,680 --> 02:32:37,720
Speaker 2: per game. It's the new Red Machine. Maybe not so much. Actually,

2706
02:32:37,760 --> 02:32:39,760
Speaker 2: I think this team could beat them at Big Red Machine.

2707
02:32:40,520 --> 02:32:42,160
Speaker 2: You gotta remember most of those guys are in their

2708
02:32:42,200 --> 02:32:47,279
Speaker 2: seventies now, all right. Rookie sensation, Ellie de la Cruz,

2709
02:32:47,360 --> 02:32:50,119
Speaker 2: he actually was called up to the Biggs. Was called

2710
02:32:50,120 --> 02:32:54,160
Speaker 2: out to the show right before the start of the Street. Coincidence,

2711
02:32:54,959 --> 02:32:56,960
Speaker 2: I think not. It was a big part of the

2712
02:32:57,000 --> 02:32:59,600
Speaker 2: team's efforts. He had for the cycle on Friday, the

2713
02:32:59,680 --> 02:33:02,400
Speaker 2: first time a Reds player had done that hit for

2714
02:33:02,440 --> 02:33:04,800
Speaker 2: the cycle since nineteen eighty nine. The great Eric Davis

2715
02:33:04,840 --> 02:33:07,840
Speaker 2: had a crunch o all High in Los Angeles, July second,

2716
02:33:07,959 --> 02:33:10,200
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine. If you're scoring at home, or even

2717
02:33:10,200 --> 02:33:13,120
Speaker 2: if you're just by yourself, no one had hit for

2718
02:33:13,160 --> 02:33:16,160
Speaker 2: the cycle for the Reds in thirty four years. Again,

2719
02:33:16,280 --> 02:33:18,200
Speaker 2: all of those twelve wins, Oh, by the way, not

2720
02:33:18,280 --> 02:33:20,120
Speaker 2: for nothing. I love the makeup of this team. Okay,

2721
02:33:20,120 --> 02:33:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to Joey Vado in a minute. When

2722
02:33:22,440 --> 02:33:24,920
Speaker 2: Joey Vada was making his debut for the Reds back

2723
02:33:24,920 --> 02:33:26,760
Speaker 2: in two thousand and seven, the only day La Cruz

2724
02:33:26,879 --> 02:33:30,600
Speaker 2: was five years old. Gotta love it. So all of

2725
02:33:30,600 --> 02:33:33,400
Speaker 2: those twelve wins in a row, six were by one run,

2726
02:33:34,200 --> 02:33:38,160
Speaker 2: and their closer, Alexis Diaz, actually picked up seven saves

2727
02:33:38,240 --> 02:33:41,680
Speaker 2: during the run, along with three other pitches, Ricky Carcher,

2728
02:33:42,560 --> 02:33:46,720
Speaker 2: Alex Young and then former Detroit Tiger's legend Buck Farmer.

2729
02:33:46,959 --> 02:33:50,280
Speaker 2: They all earned saves. Where do the Reds go from here?

2730
02:33:50,640 --> 02:33:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. Home dinner, maybe a show. Because eight

2731
02:33:54,560 --> 02:33:58,520
Speaker 2: of those wins were against the last place teams Cardinals, Royals,

2732
02:33:58,520 --> 02:34:01,600
Speaker 2: and Rockies. They still count and by the way, the

2733
02:34:01,640 --> 02:34:03,480
Speaker 2: Reds did have a sweep in Houston, and they won

2734
02:34:03,520 --> 02:34:06,600
Speaker 2: the first game at home against the Braves, the top

2735
02:34:06,640 --> 02:34:08,760
Speaker 2: team in the National League. But the schedule doesn't get

2736
02:34:08,760 --> 02:34:11,360
Speaker 2: any easier, and the Reds only play two teams with

2737
02:34:11,400 --> 02:34:14,280
Speaker 2: losing records between now and the All Star Break. They

2738
02:34:14,320 --> 02:34:17,920
Speaker 2: do get to host the Stinky Padres next weekend, trust

2739
02:34:18,000 --> 02:34:21,080
Speaker 2: Van's Stinky, and they head to Washington in the first

2740
02:34:21,080 --> 02:34:23,800
Speaker 2: week of July. But they also saw another starter, Ben

2741
02:34:23,879 --> 02:34:27,160
Speaker 2: Lively not to be confused with Blake Lively, go on

2742
02:34:27,200 --> 02:34:30,360
Speaker 2: the aisle before Saturday's game, and they don't expect Green

2743
02:34:30,440 --> 02:34:33,039
Speaker 2: or Lodolo back before August. The three starters down. But

2744
02:34:33,080 --> 02:34:36,240
Speaker 2: the bullpen's been great, but it's been heavily utilized. You

2745
02:34:36,280 --> 02:34:39,160
Speaker 2: hope they don't wear out. Still, the offense is legit.

2746
02:34:39,760 --> 02:34:42,440
Speaker 2: You got a former MVP batting six and Joey Votto

2747
02:34:42,959 --> 02:34:47,000
Speaker 2: fatal comes back from his soldier a shoulder surgery last August,

2748
02:34:47,240 --> 02:34:49,879
Speaker 2: hits three dangers in his first five games, including two

2749
02:34:50,400 --> 02:34:53,760
Speaker 2: Friday's victory over the Braves. Finally, the Braves, they come

2750
02:34:53,800 --> 02:34:55,960
Speaker 2: back from a five to nothing deficit to beat Atlanta

2751
02:34:55,959 --> 02:34:58,800
Speaker 2: at a trail by four runs at one point Saturday.

2752
02:34:59,080 --> 02:35:01,880
Speaker 2: But all good things come to an end. They got

2753
02:35:01,959 --> 02:35:05,680
Speaker 2: rookies contributing, and they still got a couple of infuelers

2754
02:35:06,120 --> 02:35:09,000
Speaker 2: Christian and Carnassio and Strand, and a right handed pitcher

2755
02:35:09,400 --> 02:35:12,680
Speaker 2: Connor Phillips, who are lurking in the farm system. Maybe

2756
02:35:12,680 --> 02:35:16,400
Speaker 2: they come up with contri contribute. I like David Bell,

2757
02:35:16,480 --> 02:35:18,520
Speaker 2: and I got to know his dad, Buddy very well

2758
02:35:18,520 --> 02:35:21,720
Speaker 2: when I coached the Tigers. These are class people. He said.

2759
02:35:21,760 --> 02:35:24,560
Speaker 2: The streak was great, but what we've built isn't going away,

2760
02:35:24,600 --> 02:35:26,840
Speaker 2: which sort of leads to the larger part of the story.

2761
02:35:27,560 --> 02:35:31,000
Speaker 2: What a difference a year makes. Remember earlier, even this year,

2762
02:35:31,040 --> 02:35:32,920
Speaker 2: the Reds are only drawn seven thousand the game, but

2763
02:35:32,959 --> 02:35:35,600
Speaker 2: they actually sold out with Friday and Saturday nights. That's

2764
02:35:35,600 --> 02:35:38,000
Speaker 2: a good thing. I'm curious to see what hey Andy

2765
02:35:38,040 --> 02:35:40,520
Speaker 2: Furman has to say about this. But a year ago,

2766
02:35:40,560 --> 02:35:44,520
Speaker 2: their president, Phil Castellini, he heard the fans were barking

2767
02:35:44,600 --> 02:35:48,440
Speaker 2: on seven hundred WLW, So what as he said, He goes, Hey,

2768
02:35:48,560 --> 02:35:50,880
Speaker 2: if you don't get on board with our ownership, baseball

2769
02:35:50,920 --> 02:35:53,480
Speaker 2: will leave Cincinnati. As if that would really happen. Come on, man,

2770
02:35:53,920 --> 02:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Baseball and Cincinnati they go together to the hand and glove.

2771
02:35:58,120 --> 02:36:00,520
Speaker 2: Where are you going to go sell the tea? Ta who?

2772
02:36:00,600 --> 02:36:03,640
Speaker 2: Castellini said, that's the other thing. You really want to

2773
02:36:03,680 --> 02:36:05,800
Speaker 2: have this debate? What would you do with this team

2774
02:36:05,840 --> 02:36:08,240
Speaker 2: to have it more profitable, make more money, compete in

2775
02:36:08,240 --> 02:36:12,039
Speaker 2: the more current economic system that this game exists in.

2776
02:36:12,160 --> 02:36:15,600
Speaker 2: It would be to pick up and move somewhere else.

2777
02:36:15,640 --> 02:36:20,520
Speaker 2: This was a conversation that Red's president Fiel Castellini had

2778
02:36:20,520 --> 02:36:22,440
Speaker 2: with the fan base just a year ago. What a

2779
02:36:22,480 --> 02:36:24,840
Speaker 2: difference a year makes? He said, to be careful what

2780
02:36:24,920 --> 02:36:27,560
Speaker 2: you asked for. But to be fair to the Reds fans.

2781
02:36:27,600 --> 02:36:30,360
Speaker 2: Since the Castellini family purchased them in twenty oh six,

2782
02:36:30,800 --> 02:36:32,720
Speaker 2: which they did for about two hundred and seventy million,

2783
02:36:33,000 --> 02:36:35,520
Speaker 2: the team has had ten losing seasons. They've only made

2784
02:36:35,520 --> 02:36:38,800
Speaker 2: the playoffs four times in that stretch seventeen years, have

2785
02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:41,640
Speaker 2: not won a postseason series, and then the eleven games

2786
02:36:41,640 --> 02:36:45,800
Speaker 2: they played only just two to nine in the playoffs.

2787
02:36:46,360 --> 02:36:50,680
Speaker 2: What a difference a year makes. Hopefully the Cincinnati Reds

2788
02:36:50,680 --> 02:36:54,040
Speaker 2: can start a new streak on Sunday. It'll be fun

2789
02:36:54,040 --> 02:36:56,039
Speaker 2: to watch and if you haven't seen Ellie Day La Cruz,

2790
02:36:56,120 --> 02:37:00,959
Speaker 2: Oh my god, six foot five shortstop switch hitter. All right,

2791
02:37:01,040 --> 02:37:02,920
Speaker 2: I have no words for this guy. And I've been

2792
02:37:02,959 --> 02:37:04,959
Speaker 2: watching baseball a long time, and I even signed with

2793
02:37:04,959 --> 02:37:07,640
Speaker 2: the Reds organization back in the day, played one year

2794
02:37:08,320 --> 02:37:12,000
Speaker 2: in their minor league system. But again I digress. It's

2795
02:37:12,040 --> 02:37:14,240
Speaker 2: gonna do it for the Bernie Frattle Show back on

2796
02:37:14,280 --> 02:37:16,840
Speaker 2: these airwaves eleven o'clock Sunday night for Big Ben. Keep

2797
02:37:16,840 --> 02:37:19,480
Speaker 2: it locked up next. They're great. Andy Furman on Fox
