Speaker 2: a rock as eighteen and thirty four Crazy Souls tonight

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: at T Mobile Arena for Game one of the Stanley

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Cup Finals. I actually heard a stat earlier today, four

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: hours ago. I think it was I did not know this,

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: it turns out now before I gave you this stat,

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call a Yogi bear as stat because I've

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: covered enough Stanley Cup Finals four. The Red Wings won

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: three of them and lost one to New Jersey got

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: swept in ninety five, which is the one we were

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: most sure we'd win. We don't play for the team

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: in the mop speaking French, but you know what I'm

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: trying to do. So you don't know where react to

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: one game. But well, I'm gonna give the Golden Matter

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: for Flowers in just a minute. But I heard this

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: stat and again it's a Yogi Barristat. I'll give it

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: to you in a minute. You're saying, what's Yogi barristad? Well,

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: you know what you know? Yogi played for the Yankees.

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: One day he went four for four. Next day he

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: picks up the sports section of the New York Times

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: and the box score said he went three for four. Well,

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: Yogi was ticked. He called the sports setter that said,

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Man? I went four for four

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: yesterday And the sports hitter said, relax, Yogi, relax. It's

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: a typographical error, because what do you mean? It was

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: a clean single up the medal. So the stat I'm

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: about to give you is a Yogi bearra stat. Did

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: you know of all the teams in the National Hockey

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: League in the Golden Knights six year existence, only one

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: has never won a game in Tmobile Arena, and yeah,

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: you guessed it, it is, in fact the Florida Panthers.

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: But I'm already looking forward to Monday's game because I

65
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: had a couple of observations tonight that I think are important,

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: and one of them is I am very impressed with

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: the discipline of the Golden Knights. I've been impressed with

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: Bruce Cassidy's coaching all year, and what stuck out to

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: me tonight is the Florida Panthers succeed when they get

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: under their opponent's skin, right, And when it was two

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: to one in the second period, Florida started to get

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: a little more chippy, a little more physical. They tried

73
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: to change the game and they were, you know, doing

74
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: what they do. We'll call them extracurricular activities. And the

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Panthers they did register thirty six hits in the game

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: and tried to make the game more physical that it

77
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: frankly needed to be. Well, the Golden Knights just they

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: went about their business. They didn't take the bait. That

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: was pretty impressive. And of course, Sueyey Bobrovski, the goaltender

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: for the Panthers, has been great in the postseason been unreal.

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: In the postseason, Vegas's strategy was interesting because they knew

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: they had to get shots from the point. Because when

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: you get shot from the point, you get the bouncing pucks,

84
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: you get to take advantage of odd angled deflections rebounds,

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: which gives you a better chance to score. And that,

86
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: frankly worked pretty darn good tonight. And the Golden Knights

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: also did a hell of a job clogging up the

88
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: neutral zone, which minimized the Panthers' chances and really look

89
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: like the better team now. Fairness to Florida, and I'm

90
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: not blaming one bet on their nine days off. I'm

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: not buying it, Florida, Florida. They weren't one hundred percent

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: crisp tonight, but they got the first shorthanded goal, by

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: the way, the last NHL Stanley Cup team to get

94
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: the first shorthanded goal of a series. He's the first

95
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: goal of the series to be a short ended goal

96
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven, Kirk Maltby of our Detroit Red Wings.

97
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: They went on to sweep Philadelphia that year. Well, the

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna be the sweet I'm think're gonna be sweeps

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: in this series. No, no, I don't. But going into

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: the tonight's contest, Florida had one to eighth straight road

101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: games road games this postseason, and they have a certain

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: style where when they take control. This is the first

103
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: night Florida looked a little frustrated and it will be

104
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: interesting to see how they respond in Game two. Game

105
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: two Monday night, five pm Pacific, So you don't have

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: to wait long, and you know, darn will they will.

107
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: They will respond. They deserve to be here, so it'll

108
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what happens. The other big observation,

109
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: of course, is obvious. Stevie Wonder could see this Aiden

110
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: Hill unreal stop thirty two of thirty four shots he

111
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: faced tonight. Of course, heading into this series, the one

112
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: big narrative was how good Sir Gey Brabowski and justifiably

113
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: so had been Yet frankly it was Aiden Hill. And

114
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: again again there's a little bit of bouncing puck issues.

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: I think I think the Florida Panthers must have hit

116
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: the pulse three times. But Hill just made some unreal saves.

117
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: This con Smyth type saves, Ken Dryden type saves. Google

118
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: him very impressed. You gotta be problem with what Aiden

119
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: Hill did tonight, and I don't know, I don't you know,

120
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: hindsight's always twenty twenty. We're not going to do revisions history.

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: I'll be curious to see what San Jose got with

122
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: that fourth round pick because they traded San Jose Sharks

123
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: traded Aiden Hill earlier in the year for a fourth

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: round pick, and he made one of the best saves

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: tonight that you will ever see in hockey. Much less

126
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Goalie Knites continue to get

127
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: production from their defenseman. Now, granted, they only had three

128
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: goals scored by defenseman in the first three rounds of

129
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but they got two Saturday Night, Shade Theodore

130
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: got one and then Zach Whitecloud Snuck went in. That

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: was the one that gave Vegas the three to two lead.

132
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: Vegas leaning on its defenseman for offense. When you're doing that,

133
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: they come up big in Game one. That usually bodes well,

134
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: very well. We will see what happens as this series progresses.

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: The other thing the Golden Knights did they do to

136
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: realize Matthew could chuck. Matthew Kuldchuck has been all world

137
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: during these playoffs. He's been a hero. He's been a gamer.

138
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: You see his coach, Paul Maurice glow about him, and

139
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: it's all justifiable. Well, Matthew ku Chuck went pointless in

140
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: Game one, had only two shots on goal, and he

141
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: coughed up the pluck. Mark Stone took it away for

142
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: that late Golden Knights two goal lead, and you know, uh,

143
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Paul Maurice, the coach of the Panthers, he challenged the

144
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: goal that that Stone had knocked the puck down with

145
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: a high stake, but you could see he might have

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: been closed, but that the goal was going to prevail.

147
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: And unlike the NFL, where it takes forever to render

148
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: a decision, in the NHL, they do it quick right,

149
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: And then I don't know what happened. Uh, the Florida

150
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: Panthers went stupid. They got a bunch of penalties and

151
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: it was The Golden Knights were classy and one of

152
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: the odds sort of what you can't call it a rivalry,

153
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what you call it a tet a tet.

154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: As emotions ran high, Aiden Hill got into it with

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: Florida forward Nick Cousins. That was a little bit surprising.

156
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: They engaged a little bit in the first period, there

157
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: was a scrum in front of Hill's crease and Cousins

158
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: shoved Hill, and Hill wasn't having it. He threw a

159
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: left hook with a glove on and then in the

160
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: second period he'll rob Cousins with a sensational paddle save

161
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: right on the goalie doorstep. And we know that Nick

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: Cousins isn't afraid to mix things up in front of

163
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: the net. We'll see if that continues as the series

164
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: goes on. But Aiden Hill, I think probably got even

165
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: more respect from his team than you can imagine. So

166
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: started interesting. Eric Stall opens his scoring for the Panthers

167
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: nine to forty of the first period on a short

168
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: handed goal, but the Golden Knights do what they do best.

169
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: They answer Jonathan Marshasso Shay Theodore. They come back and

170
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: answer twice and Anthony Duclair of course ties it too.

171
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: But in the third period was all all Golden Knights.

172
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: So props to the Golden Knights. They look out standing.

173
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: But again they also beat the Washington Capitalis five years

174
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 2: ago in the first game of the series. These series

175
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: have a way of taking on a life of their own.

176
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: But look in nine of vegas Is thirteen games during

177
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They do it and come from behind fashion.

178
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: So you know this team and by the way, gave

179
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: it up to the Golden Misfits are still three or

180
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: four hanging around. They're a big part of this team's success.

181
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: This is going to be a very fun series to watch.

182
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: But for tonight, who draws first blood the Vegas Golden Knights,

183

215
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: Tony, how you doing, buddy, Bernie, my friend, how you

216
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 5: been man?

217
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Good to hear you as always and let's dive her in,

218
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: and we've got so much to get to. Let's start

219
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: with the elephant in the room. The Stanley Cup finals

220
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: are upon us. How's they handled beIN on that? And

221
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: I know there's no way you could have the exposure

222
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: you might have had back in twenty eighteen if you

223
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: remember that. But where's the money coming in and how's

224
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: the handle beIN? Well?

225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: For Game one, Bernie, we were all Vegas Knights. You know.

226
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 5: The locals here they love the Knights and they bet

227
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: with me. They bet the side, they bet the total,

228
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: they're betting the series, and they bet the prost. So yeah,

229
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 5: it's all Vegas Knights here, buddy.

230
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question, because Florida's no slouch,

231
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: and I do expect this series to take shape. I

232
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: would expect, I'm guessing now, to see some money come

233
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: in on Florida as a serious price. What do you

234
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: move that serious price to now that they're down? Oh one?

235
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 5: You know you know that that was a big game

236
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 5: for the Knights, and now that you know, we're probably

237
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 5: gonna umpen that thing back up. I don't know, Bernie,

238
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 5: probably around two point fifty the Nights be fair, But

239
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 5: mine is two fifty plus two dollars on the Panthers

240
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: to the series. But uh, you know, it's the Nights

241
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 5: take game two that it's really gonna change quite a

242
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: bit going back to Florida. So I expect the Panthers

243
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: to come out team too and give them a little

244
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: bit more of a fight. It was a good game

245
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 5: up until third period today.

246
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Panthers just went silly and give it up

247
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: to Aden Hill. I mean, you know, you know Tony

248
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: been around. You see bouncing parks. I think the Panthers

249
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: hit the post about three times and all made some

250
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: just acrobatic saves. Let's flip to the NBA. How's the

251
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: hand will been on Miami Denver?

252
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 5: It's been great, great so far. You know, I was

253
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: kind of worried about that matchup, you know, I would

254
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: like to see any other matchup better between you know,

255
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 5: Boston and whatnot. But it turned out good in the

256
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 5: first game, so I'm happy with it, and I expect,

257
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 5: you know, if we can get a supposed gaming game too,

258
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 5: make a series out of this thing, I think it'd

259
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: be well going into later layer games.

260
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: All right, I want to dive into an interesting subject

261
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: matter from two angles. So the Olkon A's are twelve

262
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: and forty eight. I believe they're like five and twenty

263
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: five on the road this year, Tony, How the hell

264
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: do you book that darn team? And if you're considered

265
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: it just taking them off the board.

266
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 5: You know what, Bernie, and all my years of book making,

267
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 5: I've been doing this as the late eighties, I've never

268
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 5: seen anything like this with a bad team in the MLB.

269
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 5: Okon's are right now twelve and forty eight in the standards,

270
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 5: which means we're twelve and forty eight with their bet

271
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 5: straight up in the book. Every day at the battle,

272
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 5: you know, we put these numbers up and we know

273
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 5: they're gonna bet the team that Oakland's playing in first.

274
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 5: You know, I'll move those lines, I'll shave them up

275
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: over everyone else. So I'm still getting action against the A's.

276
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 5: I can't get a whole lot of bets on them.

277
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: So whenever Oakland pulls out and win, that means I'm

278
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 5: going to get a win. But there's only been twelve

279
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: times so far, and this team's really up against them,

280
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 5: and I mean they're they're a bad, bad triple A

281
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: team in the MLB.

282
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: Well, when you got a fan running out of the

283
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: stands to run the bases backwards and no one stops

284
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: from her cares. They tell you there's a lot of

285
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: ambivalence right there. Rumor has that they signed that guy

286
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: and send them straight to Triple A too, But that's

287
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: a story for another day. So let's talk about the

288
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: Oka Lands tone. You've been around this time a long time,

289
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: and you got a good head on your shoulders. And

290
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're following the debate up in Carson City.

291
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts at the end of the day.

292
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: Do you think they get this done and eventually the

293
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: bill is ratified and and they put a shovel in

294
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: the ground. And if so, if that happens, you know,

295
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: what does it What does it mean that the sports

296
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: books to have a major League baseball team here in town?

297
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 5: You know, Vernie, I really do think it's gonna get done,

298
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 5: and I think it's gonna be good for a good

299
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 5: food the city and good for the state. You know,

300
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 5: with that location on Trup and the Strip, I mean it,

301
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: you couldn't ask for a better location, and with a

302
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 5: brand new ballpark and that team coming in and getting

303
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 5: a lot more support than they are right now. I

304
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 5: think it's gonna be a success, and I think the

305
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: every day tourists that come to Las Vegas, you know,

306
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: they won't mind going down the strip to watch a

307
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 5: ball game, especially against their home team as they're playing.

308
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: And I think it's gonna be exciting, and I think

309
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 5: Vegas will support it. I think we'll do well, and

310
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: I hope it happens. I really do, and I really,

311
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 5: you know, I do believe it will. The support we're

312
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: getting right now for the Aviators is fantastic, and that's so,

313
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 5: you know. I think it'll carry over to the major

314
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 5: league team, and I'm hoping it happens real since.

315
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think they'll come to a decision. They might

316
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: need a special session. I'm an agreement. It's I put

317
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: it at fifty to fifty, but I just feel like

318
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: they don't get this far unless enough of the right

319
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: people want to make this happen. And I'm with you, Tony.

320
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: I'll be down there in the yard. I love going

321
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: out to the yard. I don't think I don't think

322
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: they'll play a game here before twenty twenty eight, if

323
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: you follow the tea leaves. So that leaves the next

324
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,479
Speaker 2: question when the Oakland A's lease ends in Oakland Coliseum

325
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: after the twenty twenty four season. And I'm told that

326
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: it's so acrimonious up there that they'll kick the A's

327
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: out five minutes after the lease is done. Where the

328
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: hell do they play for three years? And I know

329
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: people have said, Tony that they'll play here at the

330
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Ballpark. I'm not so sure that the Players

331
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: Union will ratify a major league team playing three seasons

332
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: in a ballpark that holds ten thousand. And what do

333
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: you do with the aviators? Can you? I mean, can

334
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: you speculate on any of those issues.

335
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great, great point, Bernie. We've been talking

336
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: about that quite a bit over the last month. And

337
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 5: you know, with the ballpark going Holden ten ten thousand, well,

338
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 5: Yoakan was only average in nine thousands right now in

339
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 5: their ballparks. But that's a great question. I don't know

340
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: where they're gonna play. They've got to do something. They

341
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 5: have to leave Oatland. They definitely have to leave there.

342
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's an ongoing question. I like to,

343
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 5: you know, see where it's gonna end up. I love

344
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: fhim to play here at the ballpark. I mean, you know,

345
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 5: they definitely get to support. But you're right, what do

346
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 5: you do with the TRIPA A team? Do they split time?

347
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: Do they do?

348
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: I don't know. It's a great, great question right now.

349
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to the answer.

350
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: Talking with Tony Miller, longtime Golden Nugget executive sportsbook director.

351
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: Tony also, should the A's have to play for three

352
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: years in some alternative ballpark wherever that might be, how

353
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: does that affect your ability to write to make book

354
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: on those guys. It's going to be brutal.

355
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a tough one. I mean, we saw what

356
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: happened with Toronto and that's right. Yeah, so we have

357
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 5: to see what happens. But I don't know where closely

358
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 5: they would be able to play. I don't know it

359
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 5: would be in Phoenix. I don't know that it will be.

360
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 5: I don't know whether the location is around Vecas have

361
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 5: a top notch ballpark that they're going to share up.

362
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a hell of a chore for us

363
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: to book it. But we'll get through.

364
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: It, man, we always do. So. The NHL Playoffs and

365
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs will in in about ten days here

366
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: and then we'll have you know about six weeks of

367
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: what I call sort of the filler sports people will

368
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: bet you know, obviously they handle on baseball is nowhere near,

369
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: but soon Tony, it'll be time. And take a minute

370
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: to tell the folks you guys offer some of the best,

371
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: most creative, most enjoyable NFL and college football contests anywhere,

372
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: and tell the folks how they can get involved in

373
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: what it entails.

374
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, very any concepts. We're the only contests that involves

375
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 5: where you don't do five picks a week. You do

376
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 5: seven picks a week. But you get to choose from

377
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 5: all NFL games and all college football games, and I

378
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: mean every game on the board in college football, not

379
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 5: just the Power five. Every game we put on the board,

380
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: all sides and seven picks, thousand dollars entry. You're allowed

381
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: three entries, and it's a good little contest if you

382
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 5: can mix collagen pro guys like it.

383
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: No, it's a lot of fun. You guys do a

384
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: great job with those contests. And while we're at it,

385
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: tell the folks some of the things you got going

386
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: on at the Golden Nugger right now, some of the

387
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: acts and places to eat.

388
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 5: Oh Man you know, we got fifty two Fridays down

389
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 5: the Golden Nugget every Friday night. If you're from the

390
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: sixties or seventies or even early eighties generation, we got

391
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: a lot of good bands or really good bands blo America.

392
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: You know, all of the guys they come in here

393
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 5: every Friday is a different band. And of course we've

394
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: got one of the top pools in Vegas at the

395
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: Golden Nuggets. Great plays, lots of restaurants, a lot of

396
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 5: good food. And of course you got me in the sportsbook.

397
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, man. You're with Surprise of Admission

398
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: combined see Tony former NFL UNLV football player. If for

399
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: the party, always a lot of fun, Tony. And before

400
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: I let you run, I don't want to exit this

401
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: conversation without talking about the Las Vegas Raiders. I believe

402
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: their win total was seven and a half? Is that correct?

403
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 5: That is correct? Yeah?

404
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: And are you taking a lot of action on the

405
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: under That's what I'm hearing.

406
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

407
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 5: Yeah. Everyone's kind of worried about Jimmy g how he's

408
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 5: gonna pan out the season if he can hold up

409
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 5: and not get injured. And there's some concerns about that,

410
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: So they are bet under with me a little bit,

411
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 5: and uh, we see how it plays out. So yeah,

412
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 5: it's definitely trending towards the under seven and a half

413
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: right now.

414
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: So as we look ahead to this NFL season, which

415
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: will be upon us sooner rather than later, the future

416
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: ice as a way of arriving ahead of schedule, where

417
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: are you seeing action come in on futures teams? So

418
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: that have caught your.

419
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 5: Eye, you know right now, Bernie, you know, besides the

420
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 5: Kansas City Chief, some guys like the favorites, but as

421
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: far as middle shots, you know, getting a lot. I'm

422
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 5: gonna Texas House at the Golden Nugget, our home bases

423
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 5: in Houston. So I'm getting a lot of playing on

424
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: the Cowboys for sure, and I'm getting a lot of

425
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: play on San Diego. San Diego is one of my

426
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 5: biggest liabilities right now. They believe in Kella Moore, the

427
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 5: offensive coordinator going over there. He's going to help Herbert

428
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 5: out and we're seeing how it plays out. So charges

429
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 5: is definitely a no note for me.

430
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: In terms of the Super Bowl action, Are you seeing

431
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: any teams that people are Are you seeing super Bowl

432
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: money come in on Dallas. I should have clarified that.

433
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all coming in on the cowboys right now

434
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 5: for me.

435
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: Finally, last thing, we're about eight weeks away, seven and

436
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: a half, eight weeks away from the Women's World Cup.

437
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: What kind of handle do you get on.

438
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 5: That right now? Real slow, we do have it up.

439
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 5: But you know, USA is the top notch favorite there,

440
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: followed closely by England. So we'll see how all those

441
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: two play out. But USA has definitely played, you know,

442
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: the big favorite and had to pick up a lot

443
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 5: of steam closer we get the first kickoff.

444
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: Tony, great stuff, as always, keep up the great work

445
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: down there at the Golden Knock Nugget. It's a very

446
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: statuesque property I originally built I think by Steve Winn

447
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: back in what eighty nine, and it's a lot of

448

456
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 2: sportsbook director, longtime sportsbook director. I've been involved in some

457
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: of those college NFL contests. They're a blast. It's a

458
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars entry fee. You know, get a couple

459
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: buddies involved. If you want to split the cost. You

460
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: make seven picks every week standings come out. It's a

461
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: lot of fun. It's very enjoyable and it's a great

462
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: way to stay involved and feed the competitive spirit and

463
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 2: get a few shekels. And there's big prizes too, So

464
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: something to look for and you'll be able to look.

465
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: You'll be able to find the information on the website

466
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: coming up. Heat culture is a real thing. So if

467
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: you're a Heat fan and you're depressed, don't tell them,

468
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: because they actually believe there's some silver linings. Not the

469
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: Silver Linings playbook movie that Jennifer Lawrence was in. I'm

470
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: talking about over linings for the Miami Heat. At least

471
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: that's how they think and that's how they feel coming

472
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: out of Heat Central with something they call heat Culture.

473
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 2: I'll bring that information to you, but first let's go

474
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Wyret with the latest.

Speaker 6: Thirteen minutes to color the third Yeah, it was two

480
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 6: two entering the third period, and then white Cloud breaking

481
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 6: the tie. Vegas would not look back and route to

482
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 6: a five to two victory against the Florida Panthers to

483

Speaker 6: Sunday night in Miami's Caleb Martin missed practice on Saturday.

486
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 6: Other NBA news, and that's hiring Kevin Ollie as an assistant.

487
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 6: The Suns will keep assisting Kevin Young on Frank Vogel staff,

488
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680

00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 6: the league. The Pelicans adding James moorego to their coaching staff,

Speaker 6: is in a group that's one shot behind the overall lead.

498
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 6: That big series in Los Angeles in Major League Baseball,

499
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 6: Yankees and Dodgers, Yankees taking the second game of that

500
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 6: three game series, setting up a rubber match on Sunday

501
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 6: final scoring that one six ' three is winning pitcher

502

Speaker 6: Garret Cole now seven and ozher New York four home

503
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 6: runs in that game, including number nine team for Aaron Judge,

504
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 6: who also flashed the leather making a big catch in

505
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 6: right field, putting a dent into the outfield fence at

506
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 6: the bullpen gate in right field. Other Major League Baseball scores,

507
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 6: Brewer staying off came ahead of the Pirates in the

508
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 6: NL Central. They held on for a ten to eight

509
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 6: win at Cincinnati. Well Pittsburgh edged Saint Louis four to three.

510
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 6: Philly snapped a five game losing streak with a four

511
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 6: to two decision against the Nationals. The Texas Rangers a

512
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 6: big story this year. They're sixteen to six winners over

513
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 6: the Seattle Mariners.

514
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: Back of you, Bernie, all right, I saw that situation

515
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: with Aaron Judge, and that looked a little crazy. He

516
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: lost his footing when he stepped over that bump, and man,

517
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: I thank god he didn't roll an ankle or something

518
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: like that. That would have been that would have been

519
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 2: not good for Yankee fans or any fans are speaking

520
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: of fans speaking of NBA fans. Let's face it, more

521
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: than probably any other sport, NBA fans are guilty of

522
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: recency bias. Because what happens when your team wins by

523
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: twenty or they're leading by twenty four, and they win

524
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: the game and they look unstoppable, and your favorite player

525
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: has a huge game and it appears like the opponent

526
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: has no answers, and the team wins Game one of

527
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: the series. It's saying, here, we go, get out the brooms.

528
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 5: Right.

529
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: But if the Miami Heat have proven one thing and

530
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: their incredible playoff run this year, it's that you might

531
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: need to pump the brakes just a little bit when

532
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: it comes to premature prognostications. Now, am I picking the

533
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 2: Heat to come back to win the series against Nver?

534
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: No?

535
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: Not, no, hell no. But I want to see what happens. Okay,

536
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: you really can't sugarcoat Game one. Yes, the Heat lost

537
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: by eleven one oh four to ninety three, but it

538
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: really wasn't that close at all. If you want to

539
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: call an eleven game eleven point victory close. It was

540
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: frankly ugly, and there was a couple of short lived

541
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: fourth quarter runs. But let's face Miami was out matched,

542
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: they were out executed, they were outclassed. And the easy conclusion, well,

543
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: Denver's just a better team because they are, and the

544
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: Heat simply can't match the fire power that Denver has.

545
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 2: They are for real. I told you I said this

546
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the playoffs before they face the Lakers.

547
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: I'm ever talking to Dan Byer. I said, look, the

548
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets are or we're averaging one hundred and twenty

549
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: five points per one hundred possessions, and that was fifteen

550
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: points better than the Lakers heading into that series. I

551
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: didn't predict the sweep, but I absolutely was empatic. There

552
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: was no way in hell the Lakers were beaten Denver

553
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: and you can say, well, let's slow them down. This

554
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: is points per possession. So that's why you can say

555
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: to yourself well, he held Denver to one oh four,

556
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: but they only scored ninety three because it's points per possession. Now,

557
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: the funny thing about basketball is everything looks better when

558
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: the ball goes through the hoop, Right, you make your

559
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: shots or miss your shots, and everything kind of flows

560
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: from there. Now, obviously it's far more nuanced than that, right, defensing,

561
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: defense and communication and rotating and switches and help and

562
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: rebounding and boxing all those things, right, But when the

563
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 2: shots don't go in, things look ugly, and they did

564
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: for Miami. Miami came into the game thirty nine percent

565
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: of their three pointers, the best of any playoff team,

566
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: including Denver, but they kept clanking them. In Game one,

567
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: they shot thirteen of thirty nine from behind the act.

568
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: During the season, Miami made forty one percent of their

569
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: threes and thirty six percent losses. Checked that, they made

570
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 2: forty one percent of their threes when they won and

571
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: thirty six percent in their losses. They were thirty two percent.

572
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: The other night, Max Truce oh for nine from three

573
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: point land and uh, listen, he had a maybe maybe

574
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: he's his his stats are regressing to the mean. But

575
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: when you when you when you have Duncan Robinson and

576
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: Max Strus combining to shoot one of fourteen from three

577
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: point range, and then Kayleb Martin who only went one

578
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: of seven from the field. That's not a recipe for success,

579
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: especially against Denver, especially on the road. But you somewhat

580
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: expect them to bounce back. You just don't know how

581
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: much or it's gonna be enough. Eric Spolstra didn't seem worried,

582
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: just like after Game six when they choked it down

583
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: at home at Boston. Couldn't wait to get up to Boston.

584
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: You saw what they did. I don't think they're doing

585
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: that to Denver. But Eric Spolster has earned a lot

586
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: of respect in this league, you know, especially since Lebron

587
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: tried to get him fired. Patrick pat Rice says, le Brown,

588
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: you just wait over there, Okay, take a seat, pull

589
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: yourself a glass to shut up choice, lay down and

590
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: get yourself a cold compress, some warm milk and soft music,

591
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: and go goodbye. Spolster has earned respect in this league,

592
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: so he's basically said, you're gonna hear from us. You

593
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: are gonna hear from us. Spolster went on to say

594
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: he liked the looks his guys were getting they multiple times,

595
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: they just weren't going down. The second thing is the

596
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: heat's performance at the free throw line, Well, not good,

597
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: non existent. Two free throws. That's incredible. That set an

598
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: NBA record for futility by attempting just two free throws

599
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: in the entire game. And you know, part of it

600
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: is maybe they weren't driving to the rim trying to

601
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: you know, trying to initiate contact, et cetera, et cetera.

602
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: And Jimmy Butler, I mean, he didn't do his part either.

603
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: Heading into Thursday's games, Jimmy Butler alone was averaging nine

604
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: attempts by himself from the charity stripe. And it really

605
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: wasn't a rough thing either, because you got to give

606
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: Denver credit. They defended, they didn't file. And Denver's a smart, heady,

607
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 2: talented team that really plays real basketball. The way they

608
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: share the ball, the way they communicate and switch, they're

609
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: the real deal. But Miami had plenty of jump shots,

610
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: maybe too many jump shots, and not only made him,

611
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: they didn't get of the line. We all know, you know,

612
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: maybe he should copyright this playoff Jimmy. Okay, playoff Jimmy,

613
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: because again he's here in the right to be that

614
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: transcendent guy early on seven points on seven shots in

615
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: the first quarter, but something happened after that. He finished

616
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: with just thirteen points six to fourteenth from the field.

617
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: And even Jimmy Butler, the Great Jimmy Butler is plus minus,

618
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: was minus seventeen and he played thirty eight minutes that night. Butler, though,

619
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: has been the best player on the floor of the

620
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: majority of the Heat games. That's the reason Miami's in

621
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: the finals. So they're gonna need Jimmy Butler to be

622
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: a lot more aggressive Sunday, get into the free throw

623
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: line and making baskets. And you know, listen, at the

624
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: end of the day, what's the real elephant in the room,

625
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: nicoley Oki. They try to attack him defensively. That's what

626
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: bem Adebayo did in Game one. At Obayo is you know,

627
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: a good a good playmaker. He was looking for his

628
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: own sh He had a good game at a Bio

629
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: did twenty six points, thirteen rebounds, and you know that

630
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: he took a lot of shots and he did okay.

631
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: And when at of Bio's is a scoring threat, lanes

632
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 2: open up, passing lanes open up, and things open up

633
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: for teammates. But if at a bio can do what

634
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: he did in Game one, that might be exactly what

635
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: the Heat need to give themselves a puncher's chance to

636
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: hang around. One other thing Eric Spolstra was very I

637
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: think pleased about is the Heat only committed eight turnovers

638
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: on Thursday and that helped limit the Nuggets. They only

639
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: had nine fast break points compared to the fact that

640
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: the Nuggets have been averaging sixteen fast break points so

641
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: far in the playoffs. And that's saying something because Denver

642
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: is absolutely devastating in transition. They shoot, they passed, they

643
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: spread the court, they space. Well, the best way to

644
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: combat that you got to limit live ball turnovers and

645
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: Miami did that. And if somebody would have told you

646
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: heading into the game that the Heat would only allow

647
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: Denver one hundred and four points, you might say, hmm,

648
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: I wonder what happened. So the Heat they have not

649
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: lost their confidence and I will, you know, be glued

650
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: to that game Sunday night to see what happens again.

651
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: Am I picking the Heat to come back after the

652
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: way they came out flat in the opener? I respect

653
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 2: Heat culture, I certainly respect whatever Spolster has done, and

654
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: I respect the resiliency of Jimmy Butler. There is one

655
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: other thing, though, They're gonna have to figure this out.

656
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: How they held do they guard Nicole Jokick? And if

657
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: you can figure that out, you know, maybe you can

658
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: negotiate piece in the middle least too. But the bottom

659
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 2: line is that's going to be an issue because when

660
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: Yoki's got the ball in his hands, he makes great decisions.

661
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: He's an incredible passer. The results he produces or other worldly.

662
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: You know, he's broken records this year that were held

663
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: by Will Chamberlain sixty years ago. So he's averaging a

664
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: triple double. When your center averages a triple double, and

665
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: he's got guard skills and he's unselfished, and he's brilliant

666
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: with an IQ and he can get off the bus

667
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: and shoot threes. That's a problem. So I don't know

668
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: how Miami negotiates that. Thank god, it's not my problem.

669
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: Coming up, the Stanley Cup is here in Las Vegas,

Speaker 2: our Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru. A ton of stuff

685
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: to chop up tonight. Personnel changes, coaching changes, a major

686
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: executive leaving an organization where he had orchestrated four championships.

687
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 2: Probably touch on Jahn Morant as well as usual. Chock

688
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 2: full of NBA stuff to get to. So Game one

689
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: tonight at the t Mobile Arena of the Stanley Cup

690
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: as the two teams vie for the most coveted trophy

691
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: in all of sports. It's a one of a kind,

692
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: true artifact, one hundred and thirty four years old. If

693
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: you want to lift it over your head. You gotta

694
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 2: win the cup. It's thirty four pounds, it's just under

695
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: thirty six inches in length, and the two month gauntlet

696
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: that sought after to win the Stanley Cup cannot be underestimated.

697
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: It is revered, it's coveted. It's been all around the world.

698
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: It's currently here in Las Vegas. And unlike most other

699
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: major league sports trophies, they don't make a new Cup

700
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: every year. Instead, after each championship, the names of the

701
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 2: players and the coaches and the management and that for

702
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: the winning teams, they are all added to the Cup,

703
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 2: and obviously to the victor go the spoils. You get

704
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: to take the cup around anywhere you want, just don't

705
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: lose it. And I'll get to that in a minute.

706
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: One of our funny fun facts about the Stanley Cup,

707
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 2: and it's one of those things. It's on display usually

708
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 2: in the cities where the Stanley Cup is being played.

709
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: And then of course when your team wins the Stanley Cup.

710
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: I remember covering the ninety seven Detroit Red Wings after

711
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: they swept they swept Philadelphia and four who he took

712
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: kids from the neighborhood, our kids. They didn't even know

713
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 2: what they're looking at. But they were lined up around

714
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: the block. When they looked at it and got pictures

715
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: taken with it, you knew it was something special. It

716
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: just got an aura. Here's how much of anora it has.

717
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: And I don't have enough time. I'd have to use

718
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: the whole four hours to get to everything. In terms

719
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: of the goofy, funny stories that the Stanley Cup and

720
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: its travels around the world have experience. But how about

721
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: this for starters, there have actually been three babies baptized

722
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: in the Stanley Cup. After the Colorado Avalanche win the

723
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: Cup in nineteen ninety six beating the Florida Panthers and

724
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: John Van Biesberg Beezer, the goalie one of their defensemen,

725
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: Sylva Mffey, used his personal day with the Cups he

726
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: players all get a personal day with the Cup, to

727
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: have his daughter christened in the top Bowl. Then in

728
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, eleven years later, after the Red

729
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: Wings won, we had a left winger from Sweden by

730
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: the name of Thomas Holmstrom. He took the Cup back

731
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: to Sweden so that his cousin could baptize his seven

732
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: week old daughter in the trophy. And then of course

733
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: just recently. In twenty seventeen, the Pittsburgh Penguins had a

734
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: ford by the name of John Archibald. He had an

735
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: infant son. Well, he got the same treatment. So if

736
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: you want your kids baptized in the Stanley Cup, you

737
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: know it's a special trophy. By the way, not only

738
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: has the Stanley Cup literally been all over the world,

739
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: all over the world, it even bent to war to

740
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: boost morale for the Canadian American troops serving in the

741
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: Middle East during the war in Afghanistan and Kandahar. They

742
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: took the Cup for a meet and greet for the

743
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: Canadian troops who loved it. It fired him up. Actually

744
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: you can read up there are there's a Hall of

745
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 2: Fame Stanley Cup journal that's published and they have a

746
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: whole article about the Cup's trip to Afghanistan. Nope, not

747
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: making the stuff up, folks, It actually really happened. By

748
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: the way. Mario Lemieux, he decided he'd take the Cup

749
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: swimming back in nineteen ninety two the Pittsburgh Penguins Hall

750
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: of Famer, and he threw the Stanley Cup in a pool.

751
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: He was just curious man. He wanted to see if

752
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: the cup would float. We got news for you. The

753
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: cup does not float. It sunk to the bottom of

754
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 2: the pool like a rock. And of course Mario retrieved

755
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: it and he had his answer. By the way, the

756
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: Cup has been lost once and there's been one attempt

757
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: to steal it once. So back in the sixties, the

758
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: Montreal Canadians. And by the way, here's a little trivia

759
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: for you. The one team that has their name on

760
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 2: the Cup more than any other organization is, in fact,

761
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: the Montreal Canadians. Twenty four times. Back in the sixties,

762
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: a group of Canadians were driving across Canada to an event.

763
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 2: The car broke down. They had to change a tire.

764
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 2: They took the cup out of the trunk and set

765
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 2: it on the road change. The tire drove away and

766
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: they got out about an hour said, oh my god,

767
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: we forgot the cup. They turned around, scared to death

768
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 2: or of all the way back to where the cup was.

769
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 2: It begins snowing. The cup was there. They got it back.

770
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: By the way, one time a Canadians fan at the

771
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 2: Chicago Arena walked out with a cup tried to steal it.

772
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 2: A cop says, where you think you're going with that

773
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup? He says, I'm bringing it back to Montreal

774
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 2: where it belongs. The cop laughed, didn't even arrest him.

775

00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: to get to all the things we want to get to.

796
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: So let's get started. Mark.

797
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 3: How you doing that, buddy, I'm doing well. But to

798
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 3: be clear, I got all the time in the world

799
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 3: for your brain. We're on pack whatever you need.

800
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 2: Let's not beautiful. Let's let's let her rip. I'm going

801
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: to actually start with the Ja Moran story. I'm let

802
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: me just blurt it out. I think if he doesn't

803
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: get a year, they're not serious about this. I don't

804
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: consider it punishment. I consider a rehabilitation. He has to

805
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 2: understand the lifestyle he wants to choose he comes back.

806
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: He's twenty four, he's got his life ahead of him.

807
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: If you can't figure it out, I think anything less

808
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: than a year, they're whistling Dixie your thoughts.

809
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: I agree. I mean, I think if it's an All

810
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 3: Star break suspension, that's fine, But I thank you. What

811
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 3: you hit on the head philosophically is spot on, because

812
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 3: clearly the first punishment was not enough. The NBA tried

813
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 3: to set the tone about trying to make sure that

814
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: he's getting the right help he needs and seeing counseling

815
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 3: and all that, but this isn't just about that. He's been,

816
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 3: you know, repeatedly breaking the expectations and rules that were

817
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 3: set in place, and he's been harming other people, and

818
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: so I want to be surprised that it is a

819
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 3: year long suspension and then we'll see if John Moran

820
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 3: finally takes accountability.

821
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: So regarding Adam Silver's remarks last week, how do you

822
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 2: interpret them? And why would he bother talking about it?

823
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: I thought it was it was an amateur move on

824
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: his part, if I'm being honest.

825
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think that the reason how I

826
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: interpret the comments is that saying, hey, brace for a

827
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 3: much more severe punishment than what he got the first time,

828
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 3: because the first time, there's a little bit of a

829
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 3: grace period of feeling for Adam Silver after you're talking

830
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 3: to him face to face that he was going to

831
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 3: take ownership of his actions. Clearly that wasn't the case.

832
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 3: But I don't like the timing of it either. I mean,

833
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: Adam Silver was saying that the league and the players

834
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: union made the collective decision not to talk about it now,

835
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 3: so it doesn't take away attention from the NBA Finals,

836
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: But for him not sharing specifics it still takes away

837
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: from the NBA Finals, tense our conversation on the radio

838
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 3: and what that suspension is. So he had to choose

839
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: a lane if he's gonna try to go down that

840
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 3: route of let's delay the attention on John Morant completely.

841
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: Just say that it's still an ongoing investigation. Leave it

842
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 3: at that, while also acknowledging the seriousness and gravity of

843
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 3: the situation. But by him trying to strike the middle,

844
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 3: he almost accomplishes neither thing. But I do hope that

845
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 3: the tone and the message is what actually happens, that

846
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 3: the second rulings going to be a lot more serious,

847
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 3: because clearly, you know, John Morant hasn't understood this gravity

848
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 3: of the situation, even though you know, he went on

849
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: the public apology tour, met with Adam silver Seat, he

850
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: sought counsel, and even said after the season ended when

851
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: the Lakers eliminated Memphis in the first round that his

852
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 3: off the court behavior was a distraction and clearly he

853
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 3: didn't think about it because then he's recording another IG

854
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 3: Live video again while flashing the firearm.

855
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: Talk with Mark Madina, our NBA sports guru here on

856
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Final thought on this I'm trying to

857
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: understand what the ideological purpose would have been behind Adam

858
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: Silver's cryptic comments. Is he trying to soften the blow

859
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 2: for something that could be a year Is he trying

860
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: to set expectations There had to be some ideological purpose.

861
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: I don't know why he would do it.

862
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's trying to set expectations that he's

863
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: drawn a line in the stand. It's going to be

864
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 3: a very severe punishment. But again, he didn't want to

865
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 3: announce it just before the NBA Finals starts, because then

866
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: all focuses off the teams and you know, we've already

867
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 3: dealt with a much lesser degree. But then Dever nuggets,

868
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: you know, us and frustration that you know, there's not

869
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 3: enough attention and respect for what they've accomplished. First, it's

870
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 3: the Lakers and everything about Lebron James hitting at retirement.

871
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 3: Now this, but I'm with you, like all he need

872
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: to do when he has that annual press conference before

873
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 3: the finals, they say, look, it's an ongoing investigation. We

874
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: take the matter seriously. We're well aware this isn't the

875
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 3: first time we've had to talk to John Moran, but

876
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 3: until everything's final, we won't discuss specifics, and I think

877
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 3: if he did that that would have at least tampered

878
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: some of the speculation. The second guessing that we're talking

879
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 3: about right here.

880
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 2: So there were three significant hires this week in terms

881
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 2: of head coaches in the NBA. I want to start

882
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: with Philadelphia. I think they're giddy in Philadelphia. They think

883
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 2: they pulled a co a coup and getting Nick Nurse.

884
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that fit in Philadelphia and how do

885
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: you respond to the allegations that he's interpersonal relationships with

886
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 2: some of the Toronto Raptors players was at times very contentious.

887
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think you know, obviously, Nick's Nurse is

888
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 3: a proven NBA head coach who won championships with the Raptors.

889
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 3: I think one of the underrated things about Nick Nurse

890
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 3: is when Kawhi Leonard wound up leaving for the Clippers,

891
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 3: and clearly the Raptors won a championship caliber team and

892
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 3: they started breaking up other parts of that cores with

893
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 3: you know, Marcus sol and Kyle Lowry, he still helped

894
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: keep the team pretty competitive. I mean, in fairness, they

895
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 3: still had good players with Fred van Vliet, Pascal Siakam,

896
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 3: They got to go rookie in Scottie Barnes. But I

897
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 3: think that he was very creative and savvy with his

898
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,479
Speaker 3: exes and o's and now you know, contentiousness with players. Look,

899
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 3: that's not surprising, especially when there's losing. So I think

900
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: that he's a better coach than Doc Rivers. But the

901
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: bottom line is this, and we can go through the

902
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 3: other coaches, but one of the general themes that applies

903
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 3: to both the Sixers and Nick Nurse and elsewhere is

904
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: that by and large we're talking about personnel issues and

905
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 3: stars not playing up their full potential. So while Nick

906
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 3: Nurse is a good hire, they didn't screw it up

907
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 3: because he has championship credentials and experience. You know, I

908
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 3: think for the Sixers, specifically Joel being James Harden, have

909
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 3: to be more consistent in the playoffs and show up

910
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: when those games matter. And as much as the Sixers

911
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 3: did improve their roster a little bit last off season,

912
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 3: clearly it's not enough. So it really starts with the

913
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 3: stars and a better roster to make sure that this

914
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 3: is actually a success.

915
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said. I think the implication here is that

916
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: Nurse can set the culture to get the most out

917
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 2: of these guys because they were one win away from

918
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals and we all sew what would happen.

919
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: So all right, let's move on. The higher that I

920
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: think is a real home run is Frank Vogel and Phoenix.

921
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: I've always been a big Frank Vogel fan. I know

922
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: about his history going back to breaking Down Film twenty

923
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 2: years ago and Mark, you know, his defensive efficiency metrics

924
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: are always in the top two or top three. Isn't

925
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 2: he what Phoenix needs?

926
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 3: He's exactly what Phoenix needs. I mean, he has defensive acts, roties,

927
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 3: he has championship credibility. He's managed a lot of great

928
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: stars over the years, Paul, George Lebron, James Anthony Davis.

929
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 3: So that's gonna you know, carry over to managing Kevin

930
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: Durant and Devin Booker and Chris Paul and DeAndre eight

931
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 3: and as well as his attention to detail and game planning.

932
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 3: I think it's more advanced than money wins. So here's

933
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 3: the problem again, as those talking about the Sixers with

934
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 3: their personnel, same thing with the Suns. They can you know,

935
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 3: maybe he can get more out of them defensively from

936
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 3: DeAndre and Kevin Durant, but they need a better roster.

937
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,479
Speaker 3: You know, they lost a really good two way player,

938
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 3: mckal Bridges as part of that Kevin Durant deal. So

939
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 3: while it is a good step in the right direction,

940
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 3: again it's about upgrading the roster and making sure that

941
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 3: he's in a position to succeed. You know, some contacts

942
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 3: with this time with the Lakers. He oversaw the Lakers

943
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: winning a championship in twenty twenty. In the bubble, they

944
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 3: were one of the best defensive teams. But as soon

945
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 3: as you know, they're partying ways with some of their

946
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 3: key defenders and getting rid of some of their depths

947
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 3: to get Russell Westbrook. Not only did they miss the playoffs,

948
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 3: that's the but they weren't a good defensive team even

949
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 3: though they had the same head coach with the same

950
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 3: level of expert So again, it really boils down the

951
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 3: personnel at the end of the day.

952
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 2: So let's go to a market I lived and worked

953
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: in for many years, the Detroit Pistons. They took their

954
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: time two months interview twelve candidates. They land on Monty Williams. Boy,

955
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: now I'm a huge Monty Williams fan, but did they

956
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 2: really need to pay him eighty million a year?

957
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a year, you know what, I think look

958
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 3: gets the market and I think the question is that

959
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: they feel like Monty Williams is significant enough to make

960
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: a difference. That could be up for debate, but no

961
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 3: doubt he is a great head coach and they weren't

962
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 3: going to get someone with caliber. They were going to

963
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: have to overspend because the reality is someone who has

964
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: been successful in the NBA head coaching business, even if

965
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 3: they just got fired, clearly that they're in demand with

966
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: all the other vacancies. I don't think Minnie Williams would

967
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 3: have taken it. Maybe if they got the number one pick,

968
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 3: presuming to use on Victor Webin a different story. But

969
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: clearly the Detroit Pistons are a rebuilding stage. They haven't

970
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: got a lot of good young talent in Jay and

971
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 3: Ivy and Kate Cunningham, but they're rebuilding jam and so

972
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 3: that's what they had to do. And I also wonder

973
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 3: if this is a president now where maybe accomplished head

974
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: coaches are willing to take on rebuilding projects that they

975
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 3: know that you know, they're being paid even more handsomely,

976
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: so interesting to hire because I was told that it

977
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 3: was likely going to go to Charles Lee, Rocky Bock's

978
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 3: assistant coach, who stems a rising young star, but the

979
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 3: Pistons has tried instead decide to go for experience.

980
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: They interviewed Charles Lee and Kevin Olly and they were

981
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 2: the top two candidates at one point, so things did change.

982
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: And listen, I never begredge any money anybody gets. But

983
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: when you see Frank Volden will getting thirty one million

984
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 2: and Bonnie Williams getting seventy eight man a deal that

985
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: could be one hundred, just wonder what the justification was

986
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: so interesting?

987
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I think it's the market and

988
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 3: it's the team that you sign up for. I mean,

989
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: obviously the Suns are expected to be a lot better.

990
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 3: I think game the game, Frank Vogel will have fewer

991
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 3: frustrations than Monty Williams will because there'll be more wins.

992
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 3: But you also wonder on the flip side of the coin,

993
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: with rebuilding teams, sometimes the leash initially is longer because

994
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 3: the expectations are lower, but when the losing persists, then

995
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 3: they start making changes. So yeah, yeah, it's good. One

996
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 3: of the things that's gonna be interesting to see if

997
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: it has big picture ramifications.

998
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a great opportunity. I saw Chuck Daily

999
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 2: rebuild the Pistons, as Larry Brown rebuild the Pistons. Cover

1000
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: that team and if Monty Williams can do it, Listen,

1001
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: it's a great market to being and working. There's nowhere

1002
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 2: to go but up. All right. I want to get

1003
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 2: to the Bob Myers seeing you were way out ahead

1004
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: of it. We talked about it last week. He has

1005
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 2: departed some interesting informations come out. Could you see Bob

1006
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: Myers ending up someplace like the Knicks or does he

1007
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: go to TV. He's too talented to sit out too long.

1008
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, well, look, he's gonna get a lot of entry. So,

1009
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 3: I mean they didn't renew Scott Perry's contract, but I

1010
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 3: think that's more of just having a bigger role for

1011
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 3: Leon Rose. But yeah, I think any NBA team is

1012
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 3: going to reach out to Bob Myers to see if

1013
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: he's willing to join the team. So I want to

1014
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 3: be surprised. The Knicks are interested, the Clippers are interested.

1015
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 3: They lost Michael Winger to go to the Washington Wizards.

1016
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 3: You know, Travis Schlank had stepped down earlier with the

1017
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 3: Atlanta Hawks. Now, I don't think that the Hawks are

1018
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: going to reach out to Bob Myers. Maybe they do,

1019
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 3: but not to be the main guy, because that was

1020
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 3: about grooming some of their front office personnel already there.

1021
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 3: But look, he's going to be in high demand. But

1022
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 3: I want to be surprised if Bob Myers kind of

1023
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 3: waits out a little bit and plays the long game

1024
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: so he can do some media work and also be

1025
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 3: patient for the right opportunity, because he is in no

1026
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 3: rush to jump right into things. I think the other

1027
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 3: part is the explanation for why he stepped down as

1028
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 3: the Warriors gam in the first place. It seemed that

1029
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 3: he starts feeling more and more burned out on the job.

1030
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 3: And look twenty four to seven profession. During the Warriors

1031
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 3: championship runs and even the rebuilding years, it was even

1032
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 3: more of a burnout profession because of all the expectations

1033
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 3: and the fact that Warriors owner Joe Lacup is a

1034
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 3: demanding owner. He puts his money where his mouth is

1035
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: willing to spend, but he has a lot of high expectations.

1036
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 3: Maybe this is a time where Bob can you know,

1037
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 3: not necessarily relax, because I think he'd stay busy in

1038
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 3: the media business, but he can reach charge a little

1039
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 3: bit so that he buys himself some time. So by

1040
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 3: the guest, he's probably out for a year doing the

1041
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 3: media rounds, and then a lot of teams will start

1042
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 3: pitching their services to him.

1043
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 2: Final thing mark. Game two of the NBA Finals resumes Sunday.

1044
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm not in the business of doubting the heat, except

1045
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 2: this time I will. What do you expect to happen

1046
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: for the remainder of the series?

1047
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, look, I'm not going to say Nuggets and four,

1048
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: but I'm also not going to say it's a seven

1049
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 3: game series. I think that Miami's going to stay competitive.

1050
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 3: There's low hanging fruit with getting more than two free

1051
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 3: in an entire game. You know, guys like Duncan Robinson

1052
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 3: and Caleb Martin and Max Strus are going to hit

1053
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 3: a lot more threes than they did in Game one.

1054
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: But the reality is, I don't think that they have

1055
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 3: any answers for how they slow the Nuggets down offensively.

1056
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Nikola Jokic is a walking triple double. Jamal

1057
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 3: Murray is showing that he's going to be an All

1058
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 3: Star point guard next season if he stays healthy, and

1059
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 3: they just have a lot of depth in the interior

1060
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 3: with Aaron Gordon on the wings, with Michael Porter Junior,

1061
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 3: Contavious Calwell, Pope and Bruce Brown. When you all add

1062
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 3: all those things up, there's really no fundamental weaknesses that

1063
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 3: the Nuggets have offensively. And even if they have bam Adebayo,

1064
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 3: a defensive Player of the Year kind of candidate, and

1065
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 3: a lot of competitive players, they're just frankly undersized to

1066
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 3: be able to handle the Nuggets kind of depth. So

1067
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a five or six

1068
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 3: game series against Denver. I think the Nuggets will win

1069
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 3: Game two, and then you know, maybe Miami wins Game

1070
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: three because of the pressure of being now two and

1071
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 3: the fact they'll be on their home floor.

1072
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 2: Mark, great stuff. As always, look forward to getting you

1073

Speaker 2: on next week because we're coming up on the draft,

1074
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 2: among other things, and I want to have some get

1075
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 2: you get your thoughts on that and what to expect,

1076
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 2: and we'll talk a little bit more about Victor Webbin Yama.

1077
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 3: Sounds like a plan, more NBA Finals talk and everything else.

1078
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 2: You got it, Mark, Enjoy the rest of your weekend, buddy,

1105
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 2: Will Bill five O nine has eventually well, it has

1106
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 2: been presented to legislation, the draft request introduced. Now lawmakers

1107
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 2: are starting to speak on it. Bills are being heard

1108
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 2: in committees, the Senate Revenue Committee, the Senate Finance Committee.

1109
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: There's joint hearings with the Assembly, lawmakers, lobbyists, members of

1110
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 2: the public. They're all weighing in. And the question, the

1111
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: sixty four dollars question, Will the Oakland a's strike a

1112
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 2: deal and come to Vegas. Well, by the way, just

1113
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 2: so you know that for what it's worth, even if

1114
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 2: a deal is passed by the legislature, it's merely a

1115
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 2: first step. Stadium construction is a whole different animal. Negotiating

1116
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: a stadium authority lease and getting a community benefits agreement

1117
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 2: that still has to be done, that will delay this

1118
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 2: another twelve months. You won't see the Aas play a

1119
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,439
Speaker 2: game in Las Vegas before twenty twenty eight. Just ain't

1120
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Now those things are just mentioned. They went

1121
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: reasonably smoothly, you know when the when the Legion field

1122
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: was built here for the Raiders, So those won't be

1123
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: show stoppers. They'll just they're just time consuming. But we

1124
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: are finding that this bill is a lot more contentious

1125
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 2: than people realized because there's there's tremendous resistance. There's tremendous

1126
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 2: resistance and most recently, by the way, there's been no

1127
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 2: vote yet that I know of. Okay, June fifth, the

1128
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 2: Legislative session adjurance, so the clock is ticking. We are

1129
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: on June fourth, June fifth, the legislative session adjurance, where

1130
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm guessing we're headed to a special session at some point,

1131
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: and this is going to be a little bit more elongated.

1132
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 2: One of the points of resistance comes from the National

1133
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 2: Education Association Southern Nevada Chapter, the issue of statement, acknowledging

1134
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 2: that Nevada apparently ranks forty eight out of fifty states

1135
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: in public school funding. That's according to a lady named

1136
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 2: Vicki Cridale, the president of the Nevada Education Association Southern

1137
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 2: Nevada Chapter. Now it's my understanding also, and this is

1138
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 2: just information that's been publicized. Nevada was the only state

1139
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: in the country to receive three F grades three f's

1140
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 2: in education funding in the twenty twenty two making the

1141
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 2: Grade report which is released by the Education Law Center.

1142
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: And there's teacher shortages in Nevada and educational programs that

1143
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 2: are I think lacking. And the truth of the matter

1144
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,919
Speaker 2: is the quote was when we have money to fund

1145
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 2: billionaires to bring teams in Las Vegas, but we can't

1146
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: fund education, we have a priorities problem. And of quote,

1147
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: one of the things that should be noted is that

1148
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 2: this process is dramatically different from what happened when the

1149
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 2: Raiders came. Yeah, they're both from Oakland. But one of

1150
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 2: the reasons the Raiders relocation was successful. Gentlemen by the

1151
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 2: name of Sheldon Ntilson. He was the CEO of Sands.

1152
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: He really liked Mark Davis. He wanted to help Mark

1153
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 2: get a stadium. It's all Mark ever wanted in Oakland

1154
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: could make it happen. So he pledged six hundred and

1155
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars of his own money, and then he

1156
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 2: got the CEOs of MGM and Caesars on board and

1157
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: it was off to at the time, Governor Brian Sandoval. Well,

1158
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 2: what Sandoval did was convinced the state legislature that a

1159
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 2: new stadium would solidify Las Vegas as an international tourist

1160
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: attraction given the additional events. And that's exactly what has happened.

1161
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 2: Game set match. Still, even then, there was opposition, there

1162
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 2: was infighting. Some of the same issues being raised now

1163
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: were certainly raised. Then. Here's the difference today. Sheldon Danielson

1164
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 2: is no longer with US rest in peace. Governor Sandoval

1165
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: is no longer in office. A few weeks ago, with

1166
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 2: all these Grand Eyo's plans, stayments, predictions, you had to

1167
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: ask yourself, what's going on. We don't even see a

1168
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 2: stadium rendering again we see one now. I didn't know

1169
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 2: of any architectural firm that was part of this. They

1170
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 2: were talking about a tax district proposal to make up

1171
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: for the shortfall. It was going to be in one location,

1172
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 2: now another location. A resultant revenue projected from the property

1173
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: tax payro tax and sales taxes has been debunked by

1174
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: some parties. The estimated four hundred thousand transient tourists that

1175
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 2: will correlate to the a's home games has been somewhat

1176
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: ostensibly overstated, according to some folks. So other than that

1177
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 2: the project looks like it's going, you know, smoothly, right,

1178
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 2: it just feels like there's a lot of dysfunction here.

1179
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 2: And John Fisher, a billionaire owner, heir of the Gap fortune,

1180
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: my man. Evidently, as I'm told by people in Oakland,

1181
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: with deep pockets and short arms, hasn't exactly been compelling.

1182
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 2: Now do I think the Raiders are checked that the

1183
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 2: ages are eventually going to be approved to come here?

1184
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: I do. If they build a stadium, I'll come. I

1185
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: will go see it. I want to see how this

1186
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: plays out. So I'm not saying it's not gonna happen.

1187
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it is really a bumpy ass road

1188
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 2: right now, by the way, for what it's worth. Ultimately,

1189
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Sheldon Adilson retracted his six hundred and fifty million dollars

1190
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 2: offer when he couldn't reach an equitable deal with the Raiders,

1191
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: but Bank of America stepped in the rest was history.

1192
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 2: Maybe they need an angel investor here. The clock is

1193
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: ticking and frankly, most of the reportage coming out of

1194
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Carson City is not particularly glowing. It's not what you

1195
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 2: consider ringing endorsements. Again, that doesn't mean it's not gonna happen,

1196
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: but it's been so reported often in the last couple

1197
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 2: months and even in the last year, that this is

1198
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 2: a foregone conclusion. I think that's journalistically irresponsible. Next Friday night,

1199
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna have Allan Snello LV Sports Biz to come on.

1200
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 2: Decided to wait a week because if they squeeze in

1201
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 2: a vote Monday, who knows. Stranger things have happened, you

1202
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 2: know how politics works. Other Raiders are they in a

1203
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 2: tough spot with Jimmy Garoppolo. You've been hearing a lot

1204
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 2: about that. We'll fill you in on the backstory, but

1205
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 2: first it's going ok on Kevin Wyant with the latest.

1206
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 6: Well, I can only imagine the mood over there in

1207
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 6: Vegas tonight. After the big win by the Golden Knights

1208
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 6: in the Stanley Cup Final, now Barbisha into the slack.

1209
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 8: Right for White Cloud two Stars. The Golden Knights take

1210
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 8: the League thirty two. Vegas nineteen minutes to.

1211
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 6: Come hing the third Golden Knights radio with the call

1212
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 6: Zach white Cloud breaking the two to two tie as

1213
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 6: early in the third period, as Vegas scored three unanswered

1214
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 6: goals to beat Florida five to two and take that

1215
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 6: one nothing series lead. Game two set for Monday evening

1216
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 6: in Las Vegas. In the NBA, the Finals, Game two

1217
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 6: is set for Sunday night. Caleb Martin for the Heat

1218
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 6: did not practice on Saturday. He missed it due to

1219
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 6: an ill. Other NBA news, the Nets hiring Kevin Ollie

1220
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 6: to be an assistant, the Suns keeping assistant Kevin young

1221
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 6: On Frank Vogel Steph and he will reportedly be the

1222
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 6: highest paid assistant in the league. Pelicans adding James Berego

1223
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 6: to their coaching staff. ESPN reporting Terry Stotts will become

1224
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 6: an assistant for the Milwaukee Bucks. In the NFL, Buffalo

1225
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 6: Bills giving defensive tackle At Oliver a four year extension

1226
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 6: worth forty five million dollars guaranteed. In tennis, the French

Speaker 6: Royal Macquarie tied for the lead at the Memorial Victor

1230
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 6: Hovlin in a group that's one shot behind the lead.

1231
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 6: It's some Major League Baseball scores from Saturday, that big

1232
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 6: series between the Yankees and Dodgers. Yankees evening get up

1233
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 6: at one game apiece by beating LA six to three.

1234
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 6: Garret Cole now seven to zero on the season, New

1235
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 6: York hit four home runs, including number nineteen for Aaron Judge,

1236
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 6: who not only hit a home run but showed some

1237
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 6: great glove working right field, crashing into the Dodgers' bullpen

1238
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 6: gate and leaving a debt in it made the catch

1239
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 6: and the Yankees would end up winning it. Blue Jays

1240
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 6: beat the Mets two to one. Astros over the Angels

1241
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 6: nine to six. Brewer is staying half a game up

1242
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 6: on the Pirates in the NL Central as they hold

1243
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,480

Speaker 6: win against the Nationals.

1247
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 7: The Texas Rangers one of the surprising stories of the season.

1248
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 6: They beat the Mariners sixteen to six, White Sox two

1249
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 6: to one winners against Detroit, Tampa Bay, splitting a double

1250
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 6: hitter against the Red Sox, losing the opener but winning

1251
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 6: the second game.

1252
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Back over to you, all right, thanks Kevin, And yes,

1253
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 2: the mood in Las Vegas is pretty sensational. I don't

1254
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 2: know if you've ever heard of a song called Vegas

1255
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 2: Knights by Panic at the disco. If you heard that song, well,

1256
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 2: they played every time there's a Vegas goal, and they're

1257
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 2: played it five times tonight. So we'll see what happens.

1258
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of Vegas, speaking of the Raiders, you've been hearing

1259
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 2: a lot about the Raiders Jimmy Garoppolo. Depending on what

1260
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: your vantage point is, who you believe, what you want

1261
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 2: to believe, what you think, it's all over the map.

1262
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 2: According to coach Josh McDaniels, he says he's got information.

1263
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 2: Jimmy be ready to go Week one. Okay, there you go.

1264
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 2: Good night, folks, You've been a great audience. What happened here? Well,

1265
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 2: the Jimmy Garoppolo agreement in principle came a couple hours

1266
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 2: after the legal tampering period started a few weeks back.

1267
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 2: And the question now is if the Raiders are being honest,

1268
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 2: do they regret it? Not because Jimmy Garoppolo is not

1269
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 2: a good quarterback. The guy wins seventy percent of his games.

1270
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 2: He's good quarterback, Okay. Jimmy Garoppolo agreed the terms with

1271
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders on a three year deal that

1272
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 2: paid out also a little over an eleven million dollars

1273
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 2: signing bonus. These deals are done every year most of

1274
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 2: the time. A lot of the time, they're done sight unseen.

1275
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 2: There's no meeting, no visit, no phone call, no player

1276
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 2: physical before the offers made the office accepted. For instance,

1277
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 2: back in twenty sixteen, the Texans they signed Brock Osweiler

1278
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 2: without their head coach Bill O'Brien ever even meeting him.

1279
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 2: And if they'd gotten together before anything was done, Oswiler

1280
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 2: O'Brien might have realized they were oil and water. But

1281
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 2: be that as it may, these things happen, So I'm

1282
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 2: not here to batch the Raiders on this process. But

1283
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 2: for the Raiders in Garoppolo, it wasn't a personality conflict.

1284
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 2: It was an injury that appears to be unresolved that

1285
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 2: frankly has put the Raiders on a tough spot. It's

1286
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 2: the foot injury that Garofolo suffered last year. Garoppolo, not

1287
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 2: Jeanine Garoffolo. Don't confuse the two. It was Jimmy Garoppolo's

1288
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 2: foot injury that hadn't healed. So what did their agent

1289
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 2: Don Yee tell the Raiders about the foot as the

1290
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 2: contract was being negotiated. I don't know, but apparently whatever

1291
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 2: was said, it was enough to get the Raiders that

1292
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 2: will offer garoppolo contract including the signing bonus. Then once

1293
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 2: the doctors were able to poke around, prod around the Raiders,

1294
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: I gets backed off a little bit and they reworked

1295
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: the deal. Remember when the press conference was delayed and

1296
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 2: then canceled and brought back the next day, they said,

1297
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 2: nothing to see year. Well, it turns out there's lots

1298
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 2: of the year see the route. In fairness, the Raiders

1299
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 2: had the leverage to do it because there was not

1300
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: a large market for Garppolo at that point, I believe

1301
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 2: because of his injury and maybe because of the number

1302
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 2: that he wanted. But what were the Raiders going to do?

1303
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, Jared did him was already gone. He was

1304
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 2: He's already on the way to the Broncos. Now, if

1305
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 2: the Raiders had known Garppolo's foot was still not healed.

1306
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 2: Maybe they could have made a more competitive opera to

1307
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 2: keep jiared sid him around. But that's sometimes that happens

1308
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 2: when you ready fire aim. And if you really want

1309
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 2: to get into the weeds here, the Raiders could have,

1310
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 2: in theory, pursued Andy Dalton. Don't laugh. Manstone for fifty

1311
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 2: thousand yards two hundred touchdowns took the Bengals to five

1312
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 2: straight playoff games, five years in a row. No other

1313
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 2: today Bengal quarterback has done that. Could have gone after

1314
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 2: Sam Donald laugh, clown laugh Donald probably starting week one

1315
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 2: for the forty nine ers who are on the short

1316
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 2: list to go to the Super Bowl, unless, of course

1317
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 2: Bryce all right, why am I having a god darned

1318
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 2: brain cramp? The quarterback out of Ohio State or Iowa

1319
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 2: State starting brock Pert, excuse me, if he's not healthy,

1320
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,640
Speaker 2: you might see Donald Baker Mayfield Little probably started for

1321
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So you could have tried to trade.

1322
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 2: The Raiders could have tried to trade for a veter

1323
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 2: with another team, or they could have maybe devised a

1324
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 2: plan to go after Lamar Jackson. An offer seet that

1325
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 2: that's theoretical. These hes are theoretical. They could have. I

1326
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 2: suppose that they wanted to bad enough got into the

1327
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 2: running for Aaron Rodgers. I think DeVante Adams wanted him

1328
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 2: to do that. I don't know, but that's what I heard.

1329
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 2: So there are multiple options there, right, the Raiders might

1330
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 2: have pulled the plug on Garoppolo, and maybe if you

1331
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 2: pursue all five or six of those names, I just get,

1332
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 2: maybe you come up with one of them. All right,

1333
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 2: But there was no plan B apparently, so regardless I've wrote,

1334
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,839
Speaker 2: the Raiders could have done. The point is they obviously

1335
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 2: were led to believe that Garoppolos would be okay. They

1336
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 2: offered them a contract, then the eight figure bonus based

1337
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 2: on that assumption, believing that the Raiders would be okay

1338
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 2: with Garoppolo. It all happened during what you call a

1339
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 2: fifty two hour negotiating window. This is when teams implement

1340
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 2: their plans for utilizing free agency and upgrading their rosters.

1341
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: But by locking down Garoppolo, the Raiders basically surrendered the

1342
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 2: chance to resign Stinham or Daldon or Darnold or Mayfielder.

1343
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 2: Right on down the line, they bring back Darylmonica for

1344
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 2: Grand out Loud. Now, if the Raiders end up with

1345
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 2: Brian Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell as their quarterback on opening

1346
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:00,440
Speaker 2: day of this year, it's they're going to be barbute.

1347
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 2: They're going to be just lamb basted. And it's just

1348
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 2: simply because this seems to be in a long line

1349
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 2: of moves. They moved on Derek Carr. You're wn't going

1350
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl with Carr. Car is a

1351
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 2: good dude. I get all that. Sixty three and seventy

1352
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 2: nine as the start, he had his chance. Clearly, Josh

1353
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: McDaniels wasn't down with Derek Carr, just a fact, all right,

1354
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 2: So they moved on him. And you know, apparently they

1355
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 2: went into this with the rise open. They knew there

1356
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: was some health issue with Garoppolo. They decided to sign him. Anyway,

1357
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 2: the team's quarterback position in twenty twenty three, to me,

1358
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 2: seems very unsettled right now. Now. Josh McDaniels got in

1359
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 2: front of the media the other day and what appeared

1360
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 2: for me to be a very uncomfortable press conference with

1361
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 2: a lot of forced smiles and a lot of jolly

1362
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 2: tones of voice that again seemed almost slightly disingenuous. He's saying, hey,

1363
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 2: I've got the real information. Jimmy Garoppolo will be starting

1364
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 2: Week one, And if that in fact ends up being

1365
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 2: the case, then there's nothing to see here. And if

1366
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Garoppolo is healthy, I think Garoppolo is a good quarterback.

1367
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 2: And the Raiders have a whole host of other problems

1368
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 2: all around the field on defense, et cetera. And look

1369
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 2: at the division the Raiders playing. As long as the

1370
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 2: Chiefs have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, they're on the

1371
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: short list to go to the super Bowl. They're loaded.

1372
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 2: They probably even got even better in the offseason. Denver

1373
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 2: is going to be markedly better with their new culture

1374
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,759
Speaker 2: and Sean Payton. And clearly Denver's defense was above average

1375
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 2: last year. They just had an offense who couldn't score

1376
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 2: with a fistful of fifties in a women's prison. They

1377
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 2: just weren't that good offensively. The Raiders actually beat Denver

1378
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 2: twice last year. But Denver, I believe, will be much better.

1379
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 2: And then of course the mercurial Chargers, even with the effervescent,

1380
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 2: irrepressible Brandon Staley, who's the smartest guy in the room.

1381
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 2: Just ask him. It makes all the right decisions when

1382
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 2: it comes to analytics. Not They're a damn good team

1383
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: and so you're gonna face six times a year the

1384
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 2: likes of Patrick Mahomes. I think it improved Russell Wilson,

1385
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 2: and certainly Herbert is outstanding. That is a tough division

1386
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 2: to be in. And you heard me talking to Tony

1387
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 2: Miller or the sportsbook director at golda nugget earlier. The

1388
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 2: over under on wins this year the Raiders at seven

1389
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 2: and a half, seven and a half, and guess what

1390
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 2: betters are betting. They're betting the under. So he could

1391
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 2: be looking at a seven and ten Raider team. You

1392
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 2: could be looking at the six and eleven Rader team.

1393
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, get on the field, play the games.

1394
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna play that game tonight in handicap or

1395
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 2: prognosticate or how many games I think the Raiders will

1396
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 2: win this year because I don't know who their quarterback

1397
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,600
Speaker 2: is gonna be, and apparently I'm not so sure the

1398
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,719
Speaker 2: Raiders do either. I kind of hope it works out

1399
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 2: with Jimmy G. I like Jimmy G. I think he

1400
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 2: deserves a lot more respect than he gets. He's got

1401
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 2: a better resume than people realize. He can very much

1402
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: play the position better better than people realizing. No, Tom

1403
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 2: Brady is not going to play quarterback for the Raiders. Yes,

1404
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 2: I believe he'll be approved to be a minority owner.

1405
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 2: What does that mean. He'll probably buy one percent of

1406
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,839
Speaker 2: the team. So if the Raiders are worth six billion dollars,

1407
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 2: it'll be sixty million dollars. If they're fifty million, worth

1408
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 2: fifty five mill and it'll be fifty million. To get

1409
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 2: the point, it's kind of like investing in an annuity.

1410
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 2: You invest in an NFL team, all they do is

1411
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 2: go open value, and in ten years the Raiders might

1412
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 2: be worth twelve billion dollars. I'm not joking. They might

1413
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 2: be And so all of a sudden, the one percent

1414
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 2: of twelve billion is one hundred and twenty million. You

1415
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 2: just turned sixty million into one hundred and twenty million

1416
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 2: in ten years. That's how NFL quarterbacks and NFL people

1417
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 2: with money make more money. That's how it works. Think

1418
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 2: of it as an annuity. Brady's not going to play

1419
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 2: quarterback for the Raiders this year. Coming out speaking of quarterbacks,

1420
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 2: speaking of legendary quarterbacks, an iconic name, somebody you know,

1421
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 2: somebody you love, most likely who changed the history of

1422
01:14:56,040 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 2: the National Football League in nineteen sixty nine, eighty years old.

1423
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 2: This week we give him his flowers. Coming up, I'm

1430

Speaker 2: A lot of stuff to get to the top of

1431
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 2: the hour. You heard me talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic,

1432
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 2: our NBA guru about the jah Morant situation. I'm gonna

1433
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 2: give you my thoughts and what I think needs to

1434
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 2: happen so that he can straighten things out and be rehabilitated,

1435
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 2: not punished, but rehabilitated. And this is gonna involve some

1436
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 2: serious tough love. And if the Commissioner does anything less

1437
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 2: than I'm suggesting, I just think they're serious. They might

1438
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 2: have a different agenda. Happy eightieth birthday to Joe Namath,

1439
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 2: who turned eighty on Tuesday. Joe Namath was a household name,

1440
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 2: has been a household name, delivered the greatest guarantee in

1441
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 2: professional sports history. They cashed in on it Broadway. Joe

1442
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 2: arguably the most famous man on the planet. After Super

1443
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 2: Bowl three, in which is New York Jets, who were

1444
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:24,799
Speaker 2: an eighteen point underdog, defeated the mighty unbeatable Baltimore Colts.

1445
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 2: And Super Bowl three, he backed it up and uh,

1446
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 2: he ran the offense from the line of scrimmage. And

1447
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:35,799
Speaker 2: what's interesting about that game, Joe Namath, he was seventeen

1448
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 2: to twenty eight passing for two hundred and six yards,

1449
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 2: did not attempt He didn't throw a touchdown pass in

1450
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 2: the game, and he didn't throw a single pass in

1451
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:49,839
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. And that was by design. And Namath

1452
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 2: realized it later. He didn't really think about it, and

1453
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,759
Speaker 2: a reporter in Baltimore had to tell him that years later.

1454
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: And here's why. The Jets were leading sixteen to nothing

1455
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 2: one minute into the fourth quarter and Naymouth was content

1456
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 2: to hand the ball off to Matt Snell, who had

1457
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 2: thirty carries for one hundred and twenty one yards and a

1458
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 2: touchdown and Emerson Boozer who carried the ball ten times

1459
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 2: and got some hard yards, and that kept the chains moving.

1460
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 2: That kept the clock running. And Joe Namath was reading

1461
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 2: the Colts defense, keeping them on their heels, and he

1462
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 2: frustrated them. He'd drop off and he'd he'd throw a

1463
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,879
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of Connors, a lot of traps.

1464
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 2: Baltimore had a hell of a hell of a pass rush,

1465
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 2: there's no question, and NAMA took advantage of the Colts.

1466
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 2: Their focus wasn't stopping Don Maynard. Maynard didn't catch it

1467
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,560
Speaker 2: pass the Super Bowl because he had a bad hamstring.

1468
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 2: So you know, a lot of times you hear the

1469
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 2: term game manager. It's not a it's not a knock

1470
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 2: to be called a game manager. Tom Brady's a great

1471
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 2: game manager. Joe Namath was a great game manager. But

1472
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 2: beyond that, look, here's a guy. First overall pick in

1473
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 2: the AFL, taken by the Jets, twelfth overall pick in

1474
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 2: the NFL draft, selected by the Saint Louis Cardinals. He

1475
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 2: opted to go to the AFL. He signed for a

1476
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 2: record four hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars by Sonny

1477
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: werblin a great promoter at the time. Sure Enough, in

1478
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: his fourth season, he led the Jets to THEFL title,

1479
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 2: and when they beat the Colts, that really solidified legitimized

1480
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 2: the merger between the old AFL and the old NFL.

1481
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 2: But Joe Namath was more than that. He became a crossoverstar.

1482
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 2: He's a pop culture icon and he even for a

1483
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 2: while had to briefly retire when the NFL made him

1484
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 2: sell a stake in a bar, Bachelor's Three in New

1485
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 2: York that was allegedly frequented by the mob. Eventually, Namath

1486
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:50,520
Speaker 2: did sell the bar, but after his retirement four knee operations,

1487
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 2: two per each knee had a torn hamstring that he

1488
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 2: did while water skiing. He admitted that at the end

1489
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 2: of his career he was more the hamstring than his knees.

1490
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 2: But Joe Namath is such a charismatic guy. Great friends

1491
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 2: with my mentor Dick sap Chapp wrote a book about him.

1492
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 2: I can't wait till tomorrow because I get better looking

1493
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 2: every day. Just did an interview with Jeremy on his

1494
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 2: eightieth birthday. It's so funny because Namath, he's he's the

1495
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 2: ultimate dichotomy. He's he's humble as well. He said, you know,

1496
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 2: I Fiday had good knees, I might have gotten killed

1497
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,799
Speaker 2: in Vietnam instead of playing football. So will the Jets

1498
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 2: ever find their Joe Namath? Well, they are hoping so

1499
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers. But I wouldn't hold my birth Happy birthday,

1500
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 2: Joe Namath. Hope you're around another eighty years. The world's

1501

1516
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 2: star during his pre NBA Finals news conference, Commissioner Adam

1517

Speaker 2: Silver said his office had quote discovered a fair amount

1518
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 2: of additional information and would have already made a decision

Speaker 2: talk about a tease, you talk about an eerie statement,

1521
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 2: you talk about something that's borderline cryptic. It doesn't look

1522
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 2: good and, by the way, very much under the radar. Recently,

1523
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,639
Speaker 2: within the last couple weeks, Nike quietly removed the latest

1524
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 2: edition of the Jaw one Hunger color away from the website.

1525
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 2: Those are shoes, and this was right after the May

1526
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 2: fourteenth incident, where it was Jah Morant's second incident on

1527
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 2: Instagram live flashing would appear to be a gun. Remember,

1528
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 2: he signed a multi year d with Nike in twenty nineteen,

1529
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 2: and his big deal, one hundred and ninety four million

1530
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 2: dollar deal is slated to commence this season. There's a

1531
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 2: condition of employment, though that the NBA is sounding like

1532
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: they're very adamant about that. We're not really sure if

1533
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 2: Ja Moran can comply with I'm not saying he can't.

1534
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that there are questions. This may or

1535
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 2: may not be a story as old as time. You've

1536
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:53,759
Speaker 2: got a gifted, talented individual because of a god given skill.

1537
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 2: Their talent elevates them to a plateau in life where

1538
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: their character can't keep them. Is that going to be Jamarant?

1539
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 2: This is America. You're free to screw up, make a

1540
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 2: damn fool of yourself, cost yourself millions of dollars. John

1541
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 2: Morant go to the head of the class. I don't

1542
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 2: feel sorry for Joa Morant, but I do have a

1543
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 2: feeling Moran is trying to serve two masters. I believe

1544
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 2: he's trying to climb two mounds at the same time.

1545
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that? He plays basketball. He's

1546
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,719
Speaker 2: a human highlight reel, extremely talented. Best of my knowledge,

1547
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever won a damn thing. Doesn't

1548
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 2: feel like he's gonna win one anytime soon. But Moran

1549
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 2: also has a personal life. He's got friends, people he

1550
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 2: grew up with, people he's beholden to. They bond over

1551
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 2: things you and I probably can't relate to.

1552
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 8: Now.

1553
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm not judging Ja Morant, but perhaps those folks Moran

1554
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 2: associates with mean a lot to him, and I can

1555
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 2: understand that. I get that, that part I get. However,

1556
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 2: I've set up before, like Matt Damon and Goodwill Hunting.

1557
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 2: His buddies were there long before he met Professor Jarrel Lambeau.

1558
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 2: Moran's not gonna win a Fields Medal. He's not gonna

1559
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: win an nbah amp A chipp anytime soon. He's got

1560
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 2: to decide what he wants to do. Ja Morant has

1561
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 2: a choice to make. This is not hyperbolic. Life's funny.

1562
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,959
Speaker 2: It's always about choices. When you start stacking up good choices,

1563
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 2: things usually work out well. When you stack up bad choices,

1564
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 2: things typically don't work out real well. So Ja Morant

1565
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 2: has a choice to make. And his friends, clearly, they're

1566
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 2: a very big part of his life. As I said

1567
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 2: a minute ago, he's beholding to them. He respects them,

1568
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 2: there's mutual love. These are things we can relate to.

1569
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 2: They were there long before John Morant was in line

1570
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 2: to make two hundred million dollars. But my belief isn't

1571
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 2: the Morant needs to be removed from the NBA for

1572
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 2: one year. You heard me, one year. Here's why. Keep

1573
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 2: in mind in that year, ja Morant can decide where

1574
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 2: his values truly lie. In one year he'll be twenty four.

1575
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 2: He'll still have a whole life ahead of him. So far,

1576
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 2: Moran has earned, believe it or not, thirty one million

1577
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 2: dollars in his short NBA career, and if that's all

1578
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 2: he ever makes in his lifetime, he should be set

1579
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 2: for the next three Morant lifetimes, generations whatever. Yeah, thirty

1580
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 2: one millions a lot of money to fraction what he's

1581
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 2: potentially gonna make. And I know you shouldn't count anyone's money,

1582
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,679
Speaker 2: but I just did, because this is much more about

1583
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 2: things than just money. It involves a human life. And

1584
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 2: for all the fake outrage out there and all the

1585
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 2: fake platitudes people saying things like I feel sorry for him,

1586
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,640
Speaker 2: I hope he gets some help, Mortt needs to help himself.

1587
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,560
Speaker 2: The life is like golf rule number six. You're responsible

1588
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 2: for your own ball and your own score. And if

1589
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 2: Adam Silver doesn't remove him from the NBA for one year,

1590
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,839
Speaker 2: he must have his own agenda in mine, not Morants.

1591
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 2: A couple saturdays ago, you saw it happen. I don't

1592
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: know what Morant was thinking, probably wasn't remember he was

1593
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 2: just sixty days before that. The NBA suspended Moran in

1594
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 2: March after we were seen on Instagram live a live

1595
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 2: video brandishing a gun inside a Denver Strip club. And

1596
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 2: this is during a Memphis Grizzlies road trip and he's

1597
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,919
Speaker 2: got a gun with him. Now, the team, the league,

1598
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 2: they weren't exactly amused. They hit Morant. By the way,

1599
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 2: He's five year, one hundred ninety four million dollar contract

1600
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 2: extension kicks in next October. They gave him an eight

1601
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 2: game suspension without pay. Nike he's also given him a

1602
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 2: twelve million dollar deal. I don't know where that stands

1603
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 2: right now, so we'll just gloss over that. But everyone

1604
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:39,719
Speaker 2: pretty much the second time around was really disappointed, much

1605
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 2: more so than the first time around. And here's a

1606
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 2: guy who's a nightly highlight reel. And frankly, if I'm

1607
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 2: being honest and I'm being fair, which is what I

1608
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 2: want to be, John Morant is a He's an inspiring story.

1609
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 2: He's made the big time. He was very lately recruited

1610
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 2: out of high schol went to a small South Carolina

1611
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 2: high school, ended up attending Murray State. But he's become

1612
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 2: a legitimate major star in the NBA potential to make

1613
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 2: hundreds of million dollars in his career, and that comes

1614
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 2: with responsibility. And the NBA has made it clear they

1615
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 2: are not going to tolerate images of players glorifying guns.

1616
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:24,600
Speaker 2: And Moran said he understood. He said, he took full responsibility.

1617
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 2: Back in March, he said in his public relations team

1618
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 2: around him said they're going to take some time away

1619
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 2: to help and get work and learning better methods of

1620
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 2: dealing with stress and his well being. Well, whatever help

1621
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 2: he got, it didn't take. And so a couple of

1622
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 2: saturdays ago, there's Moran back on IG Live with what

1623
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,560
Speaker 2: appears to be a gun in his end. The response

1624
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 2: was not good. The response was immediate. The Memphis Grizzlies

1625
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 2: suspended him indefinitely. More lost millions, a shoe deal that

1626
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 2: might be in jeopardy, a ton of embarrassment. He has

1627
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 2: doubters now. And I would say, would you line up

1628
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 2: all the self inflicted wounds that people athletes have done

1629
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 2: to themselves, this one is gonna rank near the top

1630
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 2: because it was easily avoidable. How hard is it to

1631
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 2: just not be filmed with a gun in your hand?

1632
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 2: Apparently pretty hard for John Morant. Night's been mocked, he's

1633
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 2: been scolded, and whether or not he deserves to be ridiculed,

1634
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's not up to me. But this

1635
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 2: was not just an actimmy. It was just complete stupidity,

1636
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 2: maybe even sad because a lot of players and a

1637
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 2: lot of coaches, a lot of executives really stood behind

1638
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Morant the first time they went to bat for him.

1639
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 2: They put the credibility on the line for him, and

1640
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 2: what a Morant reward them with nothing. Now, don't get

1641
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 2: this twisted. There are some people that are going to

1642
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 2: listen selectively. The Second Amendment assures John Morant's right to

1643
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 2: own a firearm, and his employer has no power over

1644
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 2: an employer setting this standards for that type of behavior.

1645
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,719
Speaker 2: But the NBA doesn't want to be associated with gun culture.

1646
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 2: Can you make that distinction. They don't want weapons at

1647
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 2: the workplace, they don't want weapons flashed in a car

1648
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 2: driving around on Instagram. You get to the NBA, it's

1649
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 2: an incredibly precious, privileged job, sought after by people all

1650
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: around the world, and interestingly enough, to the best of

1651
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,879
Speaker 2: my knowledge, I don't think Moran has broken any laws,

1652
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 2: but he's in trouble here because when you don the

1653
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 2: NBA uniform and the shield as it were, just like

1654
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 2: the NFL, every player essentially is an ambassador of the league.

1655
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,600
Speaker 2: And the league is a tremendous business. Why do you

1656
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 2: think you have all these huge salaries. And as much

1657
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 2: as Jah Morant has the potential and does put fannies

1658
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 2: in seats because he is an incredibly talented player, some

1659
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 2: of those same customers that come to games might say,

1660
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 2: we don't want to come to games. They're turned off

1661
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 2: by those images. That's how the NBA calculates this. So

1662
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 2: that's why they made that standard clear. That's why they

1663
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 2: drew a line on the sand. There's no doubt that

1664
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 2: what was expected out of Ja Morant and what was acceptable,

1665
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:18,879
Speaker 2: especially after that last suspension has been blown to pieces.

1666
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: He couldn't resist basically doing the same thing the first

1667
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 2: chance he could get. Now, you can say Morant's young,

1668
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 2: because in the grand scheme of things, he is, but

1669
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 2: he isn't. He's twenty three. He's an adult, four years

1670
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 2: in the NBA, went to the college for two years.

1671
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 2: He's plenty old enough to know the basics of how

1672
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 2: the world works and what is right and what is

1673
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 2: wrong and what your employer is asking you to do.

1674
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 2: This is nothing more than a condition of employment. You

1675
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 2: can't twist it any further than that, and that doesn't

1676
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:53,560
Speaker 2: comple you. Know how about the support within the Grizzlies organization.

1677
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 2: They have this entire franchise invested in this guy and

1678
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 2: put their money where their mouth is, to the tune

1679
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 2: of almost two hundred million dollars. He's also got agents

1680
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 2: and lawyers and advisors and trainers and doctors. They're there

1681
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 2: to keep them, keep them healthy, keep them happy, keep

1682
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,759
Speaker 2: them mentally adjusted, keep them legal, keep them on the court,

1683
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 2: not in court, keep them physically ready, all those things.

1684
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 2: Team Morant. This is not some clueless kid out on

1685
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,720
Speaker 2: an island. This is not some teenager playing for some

1686
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 2: nefarious college basketball coach who will win it all costs.

1687
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 2: And everybody around Morant ostensibly is focused on the long term.

1688
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 2: By the way, I would not blame the people who

1689
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 2: Moran hangs out with. I get it his friends aren't

1690
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:43,720
Speaker 2: doing him any favors, but he should be perceived as

1691
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,719
Speaker 2: the alpha dog of any group because he's a star

1692
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 2: athlete and he's hanging around guys for lack of a

1693
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 2: better term than might just be haners on. So if

1694
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 2: Moran is a mature enough capable is standing up for

1695
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 2: himself and doing the right thing, he's going to lose

1696
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:01,640
Speaker 2: more millions. He's going to be more business embarrassed, and

1697
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 2: he's going to have a situation where doubt grows. Even

1698
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 2: Kwame Brown took shots at him recently, calling him a name.

1699
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 2: So whatever it is, it's causing Moran to divert from

1700
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 2: the simple request that the NBA has could cost him

1701
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 2: a lot, and that is why he needs a year.

1702
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 2: He needs a year to understand and ascertain, have it

1703
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 2: unfold in his life and living color what his life

1704
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 2: looks like without basketball. He knows what his life looks

1705
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 2: like with basketball. And if you take it away from

1706
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 2: a year and he has an opportunity to truly step

1707
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 2: back and assess his life and what it might look like,

1708
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: you don't know what you got till it's lost type thing,

1709
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 2: then I don't know how they rectify this situation. No,

1710
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 2: the NBA hasn't announced its long term punishment, but I

1711
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,479
Speaker 2: guess it's coming. And this time Moran needs to whatever

1712
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 2: dwntime he gets it really needs to be a positive

1713
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 2: he's got a lot to offer, he's got a lot

1714
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 2: to lose, and he's got a lot of trail, you know,

1715
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 2: people that are in his corner and trying to help him.

1716
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:06,600
Speaker 2: But he's also burned a lot of bridges. So coming up,

1717
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring in the crew. I want to see

1718
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 2: what Kevin's got to say. I want to see what

1719
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Sweek has got to say. What do they think

1720
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 2: is gonna happen? How do you interpret how do you

1721
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:20,600
Speaker 2: really interpret Adam Silver's comments? And I'll let them be

1722
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:23,640
Speaker 2: commissioner for a day. If we make you commissioner, what

1723
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 2: would you do for John Moran? You already heard what

1724
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 2: I do. I to spend it for a year. I

1725
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 2: wouldn't call it a suspended though, call a rehabilitation. Removing

1726
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 2: from the game. Straighten up, fly right. Calvin Ridley had

1727
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 2: been none the worse for wear a rod was suspended

1728
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 2: for a year, came back with successful Alex Kris Paul

1729
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,799
Speaker 2: horning back in the sixties for gambling. This is not Frankly,

1730
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 2: this is not unprecedented. And again, if they're serious, if

1731
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 2: they're serious about helping this guy, let him see what

1732
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 2: his life looks like. That could be the only tangible,

1733
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 2: visceral feel he has understanding what's really at stake here

1734
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 2: if it's taken away from them. By the way, before

1735
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 2: we go any further, I want to welcome in our

1736

Speaker 2: Live from Las Vegas. Fox Sports Radio Studios. Keep it

1745
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 2: locked listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1746
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Frattle Show Company Live

1747
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 2: from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio Tirack dot Com studios

1748
01:33:57,439 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 2: take you up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern

1749
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 2: up top of the hour. What kind of brand new

1750
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 2: fool you? Followed by what my name? The dance sensation

1751
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 2: sweep in the nation, But we got business to handle.

1752
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 2: John Morant the cryptic comments made by Commissioner Adam Silver

1753
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 2: recently as to the new information he alluded to, and

1754
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 2: the decision would have been already made if it weren't

1755
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 2: for the NBA Finals. That's quite a tease. So we're

1756
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 2: gonna have to wait at least another week, I would say,

1757
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 2: before we know what John Morant's fate is for the

1758
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 2: near term, for lack of a better description. But in

1759
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,840
Speaker 2: the meantime, you know where I stand. If we're going

1760
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 2: to get this problem solved, it's not going to be

1761
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 2: for the fame of the heart. Let's bring in the

1762
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 2: crew to see their thoughts. So we'll do a couple

1763
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 2: of rounds of questions here. Patrick will start with you,

1764
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:56,640
Speaker 2: first of all, how do you interpret Adam Silver's his

1765
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:02,200
Speaker 2: phraseology and also what do you think you know when

1766
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 2: Adam Silver announces what his uh, well let's call it

1767
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 2: punishment for John Moran is, what do you think it's

1768
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 2: gonna be?

1769
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 10: Well, Bernie, with the phrasing of how Adam Silver was

1770
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,839
Speaker 10: alluding to and you know, throwing the hints and whatnot

1771
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 10: of what's to come, the way he made it sound like,

1772
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 10: at least in my perspective, was we have a lot

1773
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 10: like he I think he's got a little more information

1774
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 10: than we initially think John Moran is in trouble with

1775
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 10: I think he's like like kind of has like a

1776
01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 10: little like little hidden card to play, like yeah, we

1777
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 10: like you know what I mean, like we got you

1778
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 10: on something. I do believe the way he's making it

1779
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 10: sound like he goes, oh, we got extra dirt on him,

1780
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 10: and yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna you know, like that's

1781
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 10: why I mean, if it wasn't for the finals, they

1782
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 10: would have, you know, hammered down on it already.

1783
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 7: Uh So I do.

1784
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:57,599
Speaker 10: I do believe that he does have a little more

1785
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 10: than what we've actually heard about, which I'm sure we'll

1786
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 10: hear about in the coming weeks as we get through

1787
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 10: the actual championship in the parade.

1788
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So that with that in mind, get inside Adam

1789
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 2: Silver's brain right now and when he makes the announcement

1790
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 2: how long is the.

1791
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 10: Suspension for I'm gonna go on a limb right now

1792
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 10: and say what's probably gonna happen is he's gonna be

1793
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 10: suspended indefinitely for about at the I'm gonna say minimum

1794
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 10: half of the season.

1795
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 7: Ante and then.

1796
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 2: They revisited it at the halfway point, or or he

1797
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:32,599
Speaker 2: gets to come back at the halfway point, which is it?

1798
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 10: Actually I kind of like the fact that like we'll

1799
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 10: revisit and like almost like kind of like, you know,

1800
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 10: like did you learn your lesson? Like are you a

1801
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 10: changed a changed person? Like it's it's almost like are

1802
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 10: you ready to come out of time out? Nope, You're

1803
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 10: going back in the time out til you ready.

1804
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tricky one because he already said he

1805
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 2: learned his lesson last time and it only lasted sixty days.

1806
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 2: All right, hold that thought. I'm gonna come back to you,

1807
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 2: all right, Kevin Wired, How do you interpret Commissioner Adam

1808
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 2: Silver's comments? How do you interpret whether or not you

1809
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 2: know what he's going to do? Put it that way.

1810
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, with what he's been saying about waiting till after

1811
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 6: the playoffs, I do think that it will be a

1812
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:15,000
Speaker 6: significant suspension, because if it was a very minor thing,

1813
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 6: I don't think there would have been this concern that

1814
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 6: would overshadow the NBA Finals. So with the fact that

1815
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 6: they do want to wait until after that is over,

1816
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 6: I do think it will be a significant suspension. I'd

1817
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 6: say at least half a season, if not more. But

1818
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,200
Speaker 6: I do agree with Patrick that it very well could

1819
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 6: be an indefinite suspension as opposed to a fixed length.

1820
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 6: And if I were commissioner, it wouldn't be the length

1821
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,519
Speaker 6: so much that matters, but the steps he takes in

1822
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 6: order to show that he's learned his lesson, that he's

1823
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 6: grown and improved, and that he's more capable of taking

1824
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 6: responsibility and acting in a responsible way going forward. But

1825
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 6: it's gonna take more than eight games and a few

1826
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 6: weeks for that to happen. So I do see it

1827
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 6: being a lengthy suspension, but it's not going to be

1828
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 6: a specific set length. It's just gonna be a good

1829
01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 6: amount of time, so he can go through all those steps.

1830
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, So stay keep it here with you, Kevin,

1831
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:19,519
Speaker 2: you're the commissioner, Be as specific as you can. What

1832
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 2: punishment are you meeting out?

1833
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 6: Well, I would go with an indefinite suspension. I would

1834
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 6: lay out a list of maybe tasks or opportunities for

1835
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 6: him to engage in the community, speak about gun violence,

1836
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 6: speak about acting in a responsible way to people, especially

1837
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 6: in more vulnerable communities where this has been a problem.

1838
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 7: So I would like to see.

1839
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 6: I would like to see him take steps and not

1840
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 6: just see him serve a specific amount of games. But Okay,

1841
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 6: what steps are you taking to show that one you're

1842
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 6: learning your lesson, Two, you're learning to become a more

1843
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:00,839
Speaker 6: responsible person, acting a more responsible way, in three, project

1844
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 6: a good image to impressionable people. Essentially a lot of

1845
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 6: young people look up to him and.

1846
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,560
Speaker 2: Didn't some steps last time? And he met with the commissioner,

1847
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 2: and I would that wasn't real well publicized.

1848
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I mean it was so short though. I

1849
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 6: mean I would make it a much longer, you know,

1850
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 6: I mean, what.

1851
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,560
Speaker 2: Be the minimum? Would be the minimum you'd want to

1852
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 2: see before he's allowed to set foot back on the court.

1853
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 2: I just believe there's got to be some base level.

1854
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 6: I would say, Yeah, half a season would be the

1855
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 6: base level, and then forty of them, Yeah, like reevaluated

1856
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 6: at that point where is he at? And then from

1857
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,240
Speaker 6: there determined, Okay, should he missed the whole season? Has

1858
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 6: he really made a lot of progress? Like, again, I

1859
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 6: don't want to make it a set number of games necessarily,

1860
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 6: but I do think it would take at least half

1861
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 6: a season for him to show that type of progress.

1862
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 7: I think would be needed for him to come back.

1863
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 2: So you're looking at probably something like around the Super Bowl.

1864
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 2: All right, Patrick, you got the last word on this.

1865
01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 2: You're the commissioner. Tell me how you're going to handle this.

1866
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do well?

1867
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:01,719
Speaker 7: Bernie.

1868
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 10: If I was acting commissioner, I would kind of actually

1869
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 10: use a little bit from what Kevin was saying was indefinite.

1870
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 10: There's not a fixed timetable for that, uh, you know,

1871
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 10: with the fifty game or not fifty games half of

1872
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 10: the season. Uh, definitely at the minimum, the base minimum

1873
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 10: going forward, and then I would have him go through

1874
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,280
Speaker 10: not so much like I mean, I don't know if

1875
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 10: there's really like classes, but like definitely go through some

1876
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 10: like you know, like some some character counseling type you know,

1877
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 10: go see counselor go see like just good you know

1878
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,640
Speaker 10: people that are you know, good people in your in

1879
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 10: your wave and in your mind to just you know,

1880
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:44,639
Speaker 10: like put your surround yourself with people, do some charity work,

1881
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 10: do some some actual like character counts type stuff in

1882
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 10: the community, and just in general, like just be a

1883
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 10: good person, like you know, maybe have an event for

1884
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,200
Speaker 10: the kids, like be there for the kids and all

1885
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 10: that good stuff, like do all these things that will

1886
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 10: you know or pause and you know it look good

1887
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:03,760
Speaker 10: out in the community, but also like you know, make

1888
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 10: sure it's it's not really community service, but like it's

1889
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 10: it shouldn't be because it's helping them and also helping

1890
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,599
Speaker 10: yourself because you're helping them. It's it's kind of almost

1891
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 10: like utilizing both strategies on that. But I would you know,

1892
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 10: just soak that up and if it looks like he's

1893
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 10: really turning the corner on that and it's resonating with him,

1894
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 10: then yeah, then you go for with there. But I

1895
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 10: would definitely put that as a not a recommendation, as

1896
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 10: a requirement. You have to go through these classes and

1897
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 10: do these things until we see improvement. And if we don't,

1898
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 10: then you know, you're not learning your lesson. You're out

1899
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,639
Speaker 10: until you know you can at least prove to us

1900
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 10: that we don't need convincing on your character anymore.

1901
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 2: So interesting in theory, both you guys have a good plan.

1902
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 2: I think that because it requires conditions and provisos and

1903
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 2: action steps. My belief is that they tried that. I

1904
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 2: believe he needs to just sit a year and the

1905
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:58,520
Speaker 2: only thing that year will do is allow him to

1906
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 2: contemplate his navel and say, this is what my life

1907
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 2: looks like without basketball. Man, oh man, I this hurts.

1908
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,599
Speaker 2: I feel this. I miss it unbelievably. I don't want

1909
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 2: to make this mistake again. And I think that's the

1910
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 2: only way we have a chance here. People don't escape

1911
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 2: their nature so easily. So we'll see. We'll see what

1912
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 2: Adam Silver comes up with. And irrespective, there are no

1913
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 2: right or wrong answers. Okay, whatever Adam Silver comes up with,

1914
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 2: it's either gonna work or it's not. The dude's only

1915
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 2: twenty three. He's got his whole life ahead of him.

1916
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:33,680
Speaker 2: And we've seen the Yarch Sleisters of the world. We've

1917
01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 2: seen Steve Howe, the Dodgers. We've seen guys screw up

1918
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 2: over and over and over again, no matter how many

1919
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 2: chances they got. So you just don't know. It's going

1920
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 2: to be interesting to watch because he's his star and

1921
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 2: he he's one of the you know, people on the

1922
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 2: short list to be maybe maybe the face of the NBA.

1923
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,640
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens coming up. Nick Saban is

1924
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 2: back at it, and far as whether or not players

1925
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 2: would unionize, I'll share a story with you. This might

1926
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 2: not be so easy, but first let's go back to

1927
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 2: our guy, Kevin Wired with the least.

1928
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:13,000

Speaker 2: and as you know, you can set your watch by this.

1969
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 2: Nick Saban was complaining about how college football is changing

1970
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 2: this year. The topic was in IL. Now, make no mistake,

1971
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 2: I like Nicksaban. I respect mcsaban. I think in the

1972
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 2: annals of coaching history he will be down on one

1973
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 2: of the greatest of all time, but he seems to

1974
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 2: want to use these platforms as an opportunity for his

1975
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 2: own die tribes. Saban said last week that while he

1976
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:02,719
Speaker 2: supports players getting paid, he thinks the current and IL

1977
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,879
Speaker 2: system is only going to increase the disparity in college football,

1978
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 2: and he says, this is what we want college football

1979
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 2: to become. Come on, man, disparity. There's been a disparity

1980
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,240
Speaker 2: in college football for one hundred years. And if you

1981
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 2: recall back in twenty twelve, Sabin famously made similar comments

1982
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 2: about the spread offense the tempo offense when he said

1983
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:24,720
Speaker 2: he wanted if we really want college football to see

1984
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 2: more points in a faster pace breaking news. The richest

1985
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 2: programs will always continue to attract the best recruits and

1986
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 2: produce the best football teams. It's been that way for

1987
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 2: one hundred years, maybe more than one hundred years. I

1988
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 2: get it. The sport could use maybe a few more guardrails,

1989
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 2: but the game has already changed dramatically. And I get it.

1990
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 2: Nil was supposed to be, you know, the backup pooch punter.

1991
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,759
Speaker 2: Head out to the car dealership. Here's a few babies,

1992
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 2: sound a few autographs, take a few photos. Here's five

1993
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 2: hundred bucks. Go buy yourself a pizza or two. But

1994
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 2: it's much different than that. It is pay for play.

1995
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:03,600
Speaker 2: It is free agency, and what are you gonna do?

1996
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 2: How are you gonna stop it? I don't know. It's

1997
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 2: off and running, and that's just the way it is.

1998
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,639
Speaker 2: But the irony is that Saban would be feeling he's

1999
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,640
Speaker 2: getting burnt by this. They're burnt out by this. I

2000
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:18,200
Speaker 2: get it. He's seventy one years old, but he's a

2001
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 2: young seventy one. And I know that Sabin has gone

2002
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,400
Speaker 2: two years without winning a national championship, and by his standard,

2003
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 2: jetson Anethma and he's already complaining about the fact he's

2004
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 2: got to play Auburn, LSU and Tennessee every year. And

2005
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,560
Speaker 2: the SEC elected not to adopt the nine game schedule

2006
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:38,640
Speaker 2: because they wanted more money. And Greg Sankey, either commissioner,

2007
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm not sure he was happy with that. He said,

2008
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 2: you know, money files it doesn't lead. So maybe the

2009
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 2: SEC should have adopted that nine game conference schedule and

2010
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 2: they might have got more money. I don't know. And

2011
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:51,839
Speaker 2: you also can't ignore the fact that Georgia is looming.

2012
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 2: They're like a newer version of Alabama. Remember their head coach,

2013
01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart back to back champions He was a Nick

2014
01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:01,760
Speaker 2: Saban disciple, was on Saban's staff, or maybe it's just

2015
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:05,720
Speaker 2: classic Saban. You know, he complained about spread offenses ten

2016
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 2: years ago, but what did he do. He adopted them,

2017
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 2: and now he was kicking everybody's butt his own spread offenses.

2018
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 2: All Alabama was an NFL factory for skilled players quarterbacks, receivers,

2019
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 2: running backs. Okay, so the NFL comments are just grousing

2020
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:25,559
Speaker 2: or checked at the NIL comments. He's grousing, and maybe, maybe,

2021
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 2: just maybe it's a signal to Alabama boosters that hey

2022
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 2: man wink wink, nod nod. Maybe you get a little funds,

2023
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 2: you get some funds for me, keep them at the

2024
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 2: ready if we want Tuscalousa to still be the epicenter

2025
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,560
Speaker 2: of the college football world. And so what's interesting is

2026
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 2: I think Sabin does have six years left on his contract.

2027
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:51,280
Speaker 2: Here's a question, given how strong the SEC isn't getting stronger.

2028
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 2: You had Brian Kelly at LSU, now Kirby Smart at Georgia.

2029
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 2: You get the picture. Tennessee's got a nice program, they're

2030
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 2: they're they're loaded, the conferences loaded. How many more? How

2031
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 2: many more championships? National titles? Do you think Saba can win? Now?

2032
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,320
Speaker 2: In his sixteen years at Alabama, he's won six, So

2033
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 2: he wins win every two and a half years, and

2034
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:15,599
Speaker 2: it's been two years. I think Saban could win one more.

2035
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 2: I think he win one more. I don't know. Ifk

2036
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 2: he win two more, it'd be an interesting season this year.

2037
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 2: But you heard Dan patrick sonbite about college athletes, and

2038
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 2: one of the things you're starting to hear now because

2039
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 2: for decades, the idea of a college athlete and college

2040
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:35,840
Speaker 2: athletes forming a labor union that's been kind of a

2041
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 2: fantasy right, but there have been some developments where that

2042
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 2: could happen. I make no mistake, I don't know if

2043
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 2: it can work, because there's gonna be all kinds of

2044
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:53,720
Speaker 2: implications people didn't stop to think about. And there's legal precedent.

2045
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 2: By the way, now, this happened almost seventy years ago,

2046
01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:02,400
Speaker 2: but there was a player, very unfortunate situation, a player

2047
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 2: by the name of Ray Denison, and in September nineteen

2048
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 2: fifty five, he was playing college football for his college,

2049
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:12,720
Speaker 2: Fort Lewis A and M. And during a kickoff, he

2050
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 2: had a pretty severe on field collision and he died.

2051
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:21,759
Speaker 2: The collision was so severe it led to his death.

2052
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 2: Well at the time, Ray Denison was married and I

2053
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 2: think he had children, and his widow was denied death

2054
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 2: benefits in what became a foundational case for the NCAA.

2055
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 2: And here's why, because they deemed his involvement as quote

2056
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 2: a student athlete. That was what was cited one of

2057
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 2: the very early uses of that term nineteen fifty five.

2058
01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 2: The difference, the distinction being is Ray Denison could not

2059
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 2: get death benefits from the university because he was not

2060
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:58,559
Speaker 2: an employee of the university. He was a student athlete,

2061
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 2: so after he died at his widow she filed a

2062
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 2: claim for death benefits with the Colorado Industrial Commission under

2063
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 2: what was called the Workmen's Compensation Act, and the Commission

2064
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 2: approved the claim, but on appeal, a district court affirmed

2065
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 2: the decision. But Fort Lewis, along with the state Compensation

2066
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:23,120
Speaker 2: Insurance Fund, fought the case to the Colorado Supreme Court,

2067
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 2: and the court finally ruled in nineteen fifty seven that

2068
01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 2: Dennison's wife, her name was Billy, was not entitled to

2069
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 2: death benefits. The reasoning football players are quote student athletes,

2070
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 2: not college employees. This is we're entering some very interesting

2071
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:51,600
Speaker 2: times for college football. Could they eventually make the transition

2072
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 2: from amateur athletes to school employees? And if you grant

2073
01:51:55,840 --> 01:52:01,040
Speaker 2: them employee status, what are some of the unforeseen consequences,

2074
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 2: What might be the hurdles to unionization? These are all

2075
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 2: subjects and when it start tackling in the next couple

2076
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 2: of weeks. Because you hear these terms bannied about. But

2077
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 2: what does it all mean? Pee wee? How do we

2078
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 2: interpret it? How do you relate to it? What happens

2079
01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:22,759
Speaker 2: so bit by bit the ever changing landscape of college football.

2080
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 2: No one could have foreseen the craziness in the wild

2081
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 2: West legitimacy of the nil. Remember last year we talked

2082
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 2: about Quinn Eures, the young quarterback out of Texas. Two

2083
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 2: years ago, he decided to forego his senior year in

2084
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:40,160
Speaker 2: high school in Texas to go to Oho State. It's

2085
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:41,960
Speaker 2: my understanding he was gonna be the recipient of a

2086
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 2: million dollar innil deal against to Oho State. Doesn't get

2087
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 2: on the field, it doesn't work out, ends up transferring

2088
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:51,680
Speaker 2: back to Texas, where now he'll battle arch Manning for

2089
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:55,599
Speaker 2: the job. So it's not all peaches and cream. It's

2090
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 2: not what people thought it might be. Not that there

2091
01:52:57,520 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 2: aren't a lot of kids making a hell of a

2092
01:52:59,479 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 2: lot of money. Zachiedi headed back to Purdue. There are

2093
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 2: rumors about how much he got. I'm not going to speculate,

2094
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:10,880
Speaker 2: but look, this is real and it's dramatically changing the

2095
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 2: landscape of college football and it will continue to when

2096
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:17,639
Speaker 2: you have leaders of the pack like Nick Saban complaining again, well,

2097
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:20,080
Speaker 2: no one's going to take up a collection played for

2098
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:22,880
Speaker 2: Nick Saban. I get that, but I will say this.

2099
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 2: I will say this when he speaks, people listen. So

2100
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 2: this might be a shot across the bow that people

2101
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:35,640
Speaker 2: want to pay attention to. Coming up a city, a

01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 2: You know here in Las Vegas, the folks have their

2119
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:49,320
Speaker 2: calendar marked for February tenth, twenty twenty four. It will

2120
01:54:49,360 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 2: be one hell of a when wentus occasion? Can you

2121
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:56,840
Speaker 2: imagine back in two thousand and four. Back in two

2122
01:54:56,880 --> 01:55:01,280
Speaker 2: thousand and four, when I was in Detroit, the Vegas

2123
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 2: Convention Visitors and Convention Bureau tried to buy advertising for

2124
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl thirty eight and they were denied. Now we're

2125
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 2: going to host a Super Bowl in Las Vegas at

2126
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 2: Legion Stadium, super Bowl fifty eight February tenth, twenty twenty four.

2127
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 2: And while you were asking, February ninth, twenty twenty five,

2128
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl will return to New Orleans Caesar super

2129
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 2: Dome in New Orleans, Louisiana. So Las Vegas will host

2130
01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:37,640
Speaker 2: its first ever Super Bowl. New Orleans was originally set

2131
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 2: to host the Super Bowl fifty eight and twenty twenty four. However,

2132
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 2: due to a conflicts with Marty Gross Celebration, they got

2133
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 2: moved to twenty twenty five and the Big Easy twenty

2134
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 2: twenty five, Las Vegas twenty twenty four. So where's the

2135
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 2: super Bowl going to be in twenty twenty six, Well,

2136
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 2: it'll be back in Levi Stadium, home with the San

2137
01:55:57,800 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers. They were named site of Super

2138
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 2: Bowl sixty and the stadium hosted Super Bowl fifty when

2139
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:08,920
Speaker 2: Denver beat the Carolina Panthers twenty four to ten. That

2140
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 2: was Peyton Manning's final game as an NFL quarterback Cam Newton,

2141
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 2: they'd done a great job in Carolina. I think they

2142
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:20,400
Speaker 2: were like what three and thirteen the year before they

2143
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 2: turn around they're in the Super Bowl the following year.

2144
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 2: So the forty nine ers congratulations hosted Super Bowl, will

2145
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:30,440
Speaker 2: host Super Bowl sixty in twenty twenty six. The owners

2146
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:32,720
Speaker 2: voted on it a couple of weeks ago. It's official.

2147
01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 2: And here's maybe a couple things you might want to know. Again,

2148
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 2: as I just mentioned, the Niners hosted Super Bowl fifty.

2149
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:46,200
Speaker 2: Levi Stadium at a few years back, twenty sixteen, actually,

2150
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 2: so it'll be it'll be a ten year, you know,

2151
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:53,080
Speaker 2: break between the two now. Levi Stadium just opened in

2152
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:56,919
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, and it's also among the venues to stage

2153
01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 2: games during the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup summer

2154
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 2: when the World Cup comes to the United States. So

2155
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:07,360
Speaker 2: that'll be something to see. And by the way, just

2156
01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,880
Speaker 2: to get off on a track here, that World Cup

2157
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 2: is gonna be all around North America, United States, Canada

2158
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 2: and Mexico, and Super Bowl sixty, you know, will be

2159
01:57:17,320 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 2: in Levi Stadium in San Francisco. Now, it's my understanding

2160
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 2: even though the stadium was just built, I think it's

2161
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:27,840
Speaker 2: just open to twenty fourteen. I guess they're gonna spruce

2162
01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:29,960
Speaker 2: it up quite a bit. The forty nine ers are

2163
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 2: planning to borrow one hundred and twenty million dollars from

2164
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 2: the NFL Stadium Fund to upgrade premium seating. They're gonna,

2165
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 2: you know, upgrade their suites, They're gonna upgrade the scoreboard.

2166
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:44,360
Speaker 2: And this is this is going to take three years

2167
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 2: to complete all this to spruce up the stadium for

2168
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty in twenty sixteen. And the funding was

2169
01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 2: approved at the owners at the by the owners at

2170
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 2: the league annual meeting in March. And it's funny, like

2171
01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:00,800
Speaker 2: I said, you always hear me say this, the future

2172
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 2: has a way of arriving ahead of schedule. It won't

2173
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:05,560
Speaker 2: be long. Football season will be here, will be back

2174
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 2: in camps. You're seeing organized team activities. That'll mini camps.

2175
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 2: Were in June, for crying out loud. Then it'll be July.

2176
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 2: Then it'll be August and it'll be preseason games and

2177
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame games, and it'll be September. Then it'll

2178
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 2: be the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. Before you know,

2179
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:23,280
Speaker 2: it'll be the Super Bowl in San Francisco. That's just

2180
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 2: the way these things work. The truth of the matter is,

2181
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:29,520
Speaker 2: anybody who wishes to attend a Super Bowl in the future,

2182
01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 2: you better start planning now. It's not so easy, it's crazy,

2183
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:39,560
Speaker 2: and the local propinquities manage these things years in advance.

2201
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:53,000
Speaker 2: They find they are involved in activities that raises questions.

2202
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:57,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes these activities are somewhat innocuous and they're just stupid.

2203
01:59:57,840 --> 02:00:03,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes they're very nefarious, sometimes they are criminal, and all

2204

Speaker 2: when you hear what these people have done, it merely

2206
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 2: leaves you scratching your head and asking yourself, what kind

2207
02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:25,080

Speaker 2: not to be out done this week? This is a

2209
02:00:29,440 --> 02:00:33,400

2210
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 2: you might get a kick out of this, and I

2211
02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:39,600
Speaker 2: guarantee you will leave you scratching your head asking what

2212
02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:43,200
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool you. So let's, without further ado,

2213
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:48,080
Speaker 2: take you to Saint Petersburg, Florida and spring break. Ladies

2214
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 2: and gentlemen meet Clifford Craig Edwards, who decided he wanted

2215
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 2: to get a bite to eat, so he put his

2216
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 2: name and phone number down on the waiting at a

2217
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:05,160
Speaker 2: restaurant I believe called it was called the Toasted Monkey

2218
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 2: in their weight list play a little bit of time

2219
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:13,440
Speaker 2: to kill. So Clifford Craig Edwards decided he would meander

2220
02:01:13,600 --> 02:01:15,800
Speaker 2: on out to the parking lot with a butter knife

2221
02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:18,640
Speaker 2: and oh what the hell he saw a twenty twenty

2222
02:01:18,640 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 2: three Nissan sitting there. And you know, Craig had come

2223
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:25,320
Speaker 2: all the way from Missouri. So why not, you know,

2224
02:01:25,400 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 2: wreak some havoc on while you're vacationing in Florida as

2225
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:33,720
Speaker 2: part of your you know, spring break experience. The problem is,

2226
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 2: it turned into criminal mischief because this felonious conduct had

2227
02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 2: to do with taking a butter knife and causing extensive

2228
02:01:43,280 --> 02:01:48,160
Speaker 2: paint damage to a twenty twenty three Nissan. Now he

2229
02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 2: admitted it was a spring break mistake. Wow, lucky him.

2230
02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:56,280
Speaker 2: Here's what's so weird. How did the cough catch him? Well,

2231
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:59,320
Speaker 2: the car happened to be parked outside the Toasted Monkey restaurant,

2232
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 2: and by the way, the damages were in excess of

2233
02:02:02,240 --> 02:02:06,400
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. But a review of security camera footage

2234
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:10,600
Speaker 2: yielded a clear image of the suspect and the phone

2235
02:02:10,720 --> 02:02:15,240
Speaker 2: number that he'd written down. On the Toasted Monkey's wait list,

2236
02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 2: and so when the camera zoomed in, they called this

2237
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:23,440
Speaker 2: phone number. He answered the phone and the rest is history.

2238
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:27,400
Speaker 2: According to the cops, they spotted this guy near the car.

2239
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,400
Speaker 2: The idt him. He was making motions with the butter

2240
02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:33,920
Speaker 2: knife on the driver's side, and they confronted him. He

2241
02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:36,840
Speaker 2: ran down the street. The cops caught him. The rest

2242
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:40,800
Speaker 2: is history. But wait for it, here's the punchline. Clifford

2243
02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 2: Craig Edwards, a Springfield, Missouri resident, a licensed real estate salesperson.

2244
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:51,760
Speaker 2: By the way, on spring Great the man is fifty

2245
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:57,520
Speaker 2: two years old. Craig Edwards. What kind of brand new fool?

2246
02:02:57,520 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 2: Are you? All right? Kevin? You're up next, buddy.

2247
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:03,920
Speaker 6: Well, this one takes us to Hawaii, and we know

2248
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:08,480
Speaker 6: that GPS directions aren't always accurate, but it still leaves

2249
02:03:08,560 --> 02:03:11,040
Speaker 6: room for you to use common sense in case the

2250
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 6: directions aren't exactly what they're supposed to be.

2251
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 7: Well, in a.

2252
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:19,840
Speaker 6: Kona, Hawaii, a tourist swam to safety after she mistakenly

2253
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:22,840
Speaker 6: drove her vehicle into the water at a small boat

2254
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:26,160
Speaker 6: harbor in Kona. The driver told police she was following

2255
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:30,920
Speaker 6: GPS directions when she took her turn down a boat ramp. No,

2256
02:03:31,440 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 6: and she thought the water was just a big puddle,

2257
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:38,480
Speaker 6: so why not just power through it? Well, The story

2258
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 6: goes on to say that the twenty twenty four edge

2259
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:44,760
Speaker 6: ended up in deep water by the time the driver

2260
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:47,280
Speaker 6: was able to get out. Officials added that the driver

2261
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 6: said she was using a GPS that letter to take

2262
02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 6: that route, and while her vehicle was slowly submerging into

2263
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:55,520
Speaker 6: the water, he witness recalled being surprised by the woman's

2264
02:03:55,520 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 6: slow reaction. She did take some time. The person said.

2265
02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:02,400
Speaker 6: She ended up grabbing her backpack or purse, all of

2266
02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:04,880
Speaker 6: her belongings that she could grab before she got out,

2267
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:09,320

2279
02:04:47,320 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 10: the coast of o Wahu, Hawaii, where we have a wedding,

2280
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:56,680
Speaker 10: Ladies and gentlemen on a little yacht, wedding so to speak,

2281
02:04:56,880 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 10: where a certain bride and groom they are nameless and

2282
02:04:59,760 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 10: un bride and groom are having said wedding on said boat. Now,

2283
02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:07,760
Speaker 10: the setup for this is bride's youngest in the family.

2284
02:05:08,120 --> 02:05:10,520
Speaker 10: She can't wait to get married, all that good stuff.

2285
02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:12,800
Speaker 10: And you know, when you're having a wedding, there are

2286
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:16,840
Speaker 10: certain etiquettes to you know, have nothing crazy, don't be

2287
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:19,240
Speaker 10: you know that person to be like object to the

2288
02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 10: marriage and all that good stuff.

2289
02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 7: And you know dress etiquette.

2290
02:05:22,400 --> 02:05:26,520
Speaker 10: Well, apparently one of the guest attendees to the wedding

2291
02:05:26,600 --> 02:05:29,920
Speaker 10: didn't really quite catch that dress etiquette memo.

2292
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:32,560
Speaker 7: And by that guest, I mean her brother.

2293
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 10: While on the yacht getting ready to get married, her

2294
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:39,320
Speaker 10: younger brother comes around, sorry, her older brother comes in

2295
02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:43,760
Speaker 10: dressed as well. You ever seen parts of the Caribbean,

2296
02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:48,600
Speaker 10: everybody because dresses. Jack Sparrow himself, and it was not

2297
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:52,640
Speaker 10: pirate themed. Everybody's dressed in wedding attire. The man who

2298
02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:56,440
Speaker 10: dresses Jack Sparrow sauntering around like I'm thinking, like it's

2299
02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:59,880
Speaker 10: a whole joke, and even like quoting saying why is

2300
02:05:59,880 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 10: the rum always gone?

2301
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:01,839
Speaker 7: And all that stuff.

2302
02:06:02,440 --> 02:06:05,760
Speaker 10: While her whole family got a huge kick out of,

2303
02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:09,000
Speaker 10: you know, being on a yacht and dresses a pirate

2304
02:06:09,040 --> 02:06:13,760
Speaker 10: for the wedding, the bride was furious, so having a

2305
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:16,520
Speaker 10: talk with everybody about it, they all said that she

2306
02:06:16,640 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 10: was a stick in the mud and that she should

2307
02:06:18,680 --> 02:06:22,000
Speaker 10: learn to laugh me and the bride was crazy for

2308
02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 10: being mad at them. So really, the fool here is

2309
02:06:26,200 --> 02:06:28,000
Speaker 10: everybody else that's not the bride.

2310
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:30,240
Speaker 7: What kind of brand new fools are you? Guys? Come

2311
02:06:30,360 --> 02:06:31,120
Speaker 7: on now?

2312
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Was her alcohol involved here? This is a boy tonight

2313
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:38,440
Speaker 2: was one of the more unique renditions of this because

2314
02:06:39,040 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 2: you know, h only one involved true criminal behavior, but

2315
02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:46,240
Speaker 2: the others were like whoa you wonder if these people

2316
02:06:46,240 --> 02:06:47,920
Speaker 2: were dropped on their head when they were little, But

2317
02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:51,640
Speaker 2: there they have it. Another rousing edition of what kind

2318
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:54,000
Speaker 2: of brand new fool of you, which allows us to segue,

2319
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:57,120
Speaker 2: of course, to our next segment, which we lovingly referred

2320
02:06:57,160 --> 02:07:02,040
Speaker 2: to as what my name? All Right, here we go.

2321

Speaker 7: I just have to guess on this one. Cody Bellinger,

2327
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:24,480
Speaker 7: You're not far off in terms of the team.

2328
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:28,360
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a hint. So I recently ended

2329
02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:32,880
Speaker 2: an OH for thirty nine slump, longest in my team's

2330
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:36,200

2332
02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 11: I know it's not right, but I want to say

2333
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:43,480
Speaker 11: Book Powell.

2334
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:49,280
Speaker 2: I love it. I love the name, not him. But

2335
02:07:49,880 --> 02:07:52,640
Speaker 2: of course recent might be the operative word, but not

2336
02:07:52,720 --> 02:07:54,960
Speaker 2: a bad effort, Okay. I recently ended in an OH

2337
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 2: for thirty nine slump, the lowest in my to check that,

2338
02:07:58,560 --> 02:08:00,360
Speaker 2: the longest in my team's history in a one hundred

2339
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:04,080
Speaker 2: and fourteen years. Patrick Sweeker, what my name?

2340
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:07,360
Speaker 7: Who is Miguel Cabrera?

2341
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:12,520
Speaker 2: No, sir, you guys might be kicking yourself because it

2342
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:15,000
Speaker 2: happened right in your hometown. It was trace Thompson of

2343
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Oh, Trace Thompson, and I think he broke

2344
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 2: it by hitting a home run. So anyway, onward and upward.

2345
02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:28,440
Speaker 2: In the history of NBA, there have been six buzzer

2346
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:33,480
Speaker 2: beater elimination games winning shots. Let me try that again.

2347
02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,000
Speaker 2: That's pretty clunky. In the history of the NBA, there

2348
02:08:36,040 --> 02:08:38,920
Speaker 2: have been six occasions where there was a buzzer beater

2349
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:42,520
Speaker 2: to eliminate the game winning shot, and I've been on

2350
02:08:42,560 --> 02:08:46,520
Speaker 2: the wrong side of three of them. These are playoff games, now,

2351

Speaker 2: The history of the NBA, there have been six buzzer

2354
02:08:56,560 --> 02:08:59,040
Speaker 2: beater elimination game winning shots, and I've been on the

2355
02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 2: wrong side of three of them. What my name?

2356
02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:04,920
Speaker 7: I would say Joel Embiid.

2358

Speaker 2: game winning shots, and I've been on the wrong side

02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:19,960
Speaker 2: of three of them. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

Speaker 11: Who is Charles Barkley?

2362
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:27,880

02:09:27,880 --> 02:09:31,720
Speaker 2: of the National Basketball Association, six buzzer beater elimination games

2364
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:34,400
Speaker 2: have eliminated a team with their winning shot, and I've

2365
02:09:34,400 --> 02:09:36,960
Speaker 2: been on the wrong side of three of them. Patrick Sweaker,

2366

Speaker 11: different person, but Ken.

2422
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 2: That's a. That's a pretty good guess. I know who

2423
02:12:44,080 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 2: you're thinking of. And he started in the eighty two

2424
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. It's not him in Super Bowl sixty.

2425
02:12:49,880 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 7: So that's what the a.

2426
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:51,920
Speaker 11: But I'm pretty sure it's wrong.

2427
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 2: But go ahead, all right, Well we'll continue on. You

2428
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:56,880
Speaker 2: want to take one more guess at it?

2429
02:12:57,320 --> 02:12:57,400
Speaker 5: No?

2430
02:12:57,520 --> 02:12:58,320
Speaker 11: Go ahead, okay.

2431
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm the only quarterback in the history of the Cincinnati

2432
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:07,000
Speaker 2: Bengals to lead the team to the playoffs five years

2433
02:13:07,040 --> 02:13:10,080
Speaker 2: in a row. Kevin Wyrett. What my name?

2434
02:13:10,400 --> 02:13:11,400
Speaker 7: Boomer Sison?

2435
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:16,040
Speaker 2: Not Boomer Sison. All right, we'll see if Patrick can

2436
02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:18,640
Speaker 2: save the day here. I'm the only Cincinnati Bengals quarterback

2437
02:13:18,920 --> 02:13:21,640
Speaker 2: to lead the Bengals to the playoffs five years in

2438
02:13:21,680 --> 02:13:24,040
Speaker 2: a row. Patrick Sweaktt, What my name?

2439
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:27,600
Speaker 10: Who is Carson Palmer?

2440
02:13:28,080 --> 02:13:33,240
Speaker 2: It's actually Andy Dalton, Andy Dalton, all right, last one, guys,

2441
02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:35,120
Speaker 2: this is the only time I'll do something like this.

2442
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:37,840
Speaker 2: We're looking for the name of a state, and I

2443
02:13:37,920 --> 02:13:42,640
Speaker 2: talked about the Stanley Cup quite a bit tonight. I'm

2444
02:13:42,640 --> 02:13:46,160
Speaker 2: the only state in the Union that the Stanley Cup

2445
02:13:46,240 --> 02:13:51,080
Speaker 2: has never visited. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2446
02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:56,800
Speaker 11: Now, that wouldn't I really don't know that one. I

2447
02:13:56,840 --> 02:13:57,920
Speaker 11: forgot who that would be.

2448
02:13:58,600 --> 02:14:00,640
Speaker 2: If you guys think about it, you're gonna say, you

2449
02:14:00,640 --> 02:14:02,440
Speaker 2: know what, this actually makes sense. Okay, I'm the only

2450
02:14:02,480 --> 02:14:06,400
Speaker 2: state in the Union that the Stanley Cup has never visited.

2451
02:14:06,880 --> 02:14:08,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyre, what my name?

2452
02:14:08,160 --> 02:14:10,160

02:16:52,879 --> 02:16:55,800
Speaker 2: when you look at these two organizations, we know this

2493
02:16:55,879 --> 02:17:00,480
Speaker 2: for sure that this will be the first Stamp Cup.

2494
02:17:00,879 --> 02:17:04,360
Speaker 2: Regardless of who wins this series, we will have a

2495
02:17:04,400 --> 02:17:07,879
Speaker 2: brand new first time Stanley Cup champion. Florida has not

2496
02:17:08,040 --> 02:17:12,879
Speaker 2: been in the Stanley Cup since nineteen ninety six. They

2497
02:17:12,959 --> 02:17:15,520
Speaker 2: lost to a very good Colorado team that eliminated our

2498
02:17:15,560 --> 02:17:19,360
Speaker 2: Red Wings at team of course Peter Forsberg, Josacket, Patrick

2499
02:17:19,440 --> 02:17:23,280
Speaker 2: Wah coach by Mark Crawford, a devastating team. Florida thought

2500
02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:26,400
Speaker 2: they had their number then back with the Beezer, John

2501
02:17:26,480 --> 02:17:31,960
Speaker 2: Van Biesbrook and goal. But let's face it, they Colorado prevailed,

2502
02:17:32,320 --> 02:17:34,480
Speaker 2: and then, of course, the Golden Knights, in their inaugural

2503
02:17:34,560 --> 02:17:38,840
Speaker 2: season back in twenty eighteen, got to the Stanley Cup finals,

2504
02:17:39,120 --> 02:17:45,240
Speaker 2: took game one versus Washington, and Washington came storming back

2505
02:17:45,640 --> 02:17:49,439
Speaker 2: to win the remaining five games. One of the questions

2506
02:17:49,440 --> 02:17:51,879
Speaker 2: that started to get answered tonight, this is unreal to

2507
02:17:51,959 --> 02:17:57,320
Speaker 2: me because Sergei Barbrowski, who's won vesno trophies, and Nayden Hill,

2508
02:17:57,879 --> 02:18:00,480
Speaker 2: who twenty seven years old just a few months was

2509
02:18:00,560 --> 02:18:04,119
Speaker 2: traded to the Golden Knights for a fourth round draft pick.

2510
02:18:04,959 --> 02:18:07,680
Speaker 2: One of the key storylines heading into the series was

2511
02:18:08,240 --> 02:18:12,279
Speaker 2: who is gonna win the goaltending battle between Sergei Brabovski

2512
02:18:12,600 --> 02:18:17,360
Speaker 2: and Aiden Hill. And Aiden Hill made some saves that,

2513
02:18:18,080 --> 02:18:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, I won't want to say defile logic because

2514
02:18:21,040 --> 02:18:26,560
Speaker 2: he's been sensational through the entire playoffs, and he made

2515
02:18:26,560 --> 02:18:30,840
Speaker 2: a save in the second period that if first of

2516
02:18:30,840 --> 02:18:33,200
Speaker 2: all of Florida scores there, they go up two to one,

2517
02:18:33,280 --> 02:18:35,440
Speaker 2: you never know where this game might have gone at

2518
02:18:35,440 --> 02:18:38,160
Speaker 2: that point. Hockey's funny the way that works, And some

2519
02:18:38,200 --> 02:18:42,520
Speaker 2: folks indicated they were concerned that nine days off was

2520
02:18:42,560 --> 02:18:45,440
Speaker 2: gonna hurt Florida. Well, it didn't hurt Colorado. Last year.

2521
02:18:45,879 --> 02:18:48,120
Speaker 2: They had nine days off and they swept Tampa Bay,

2522
02:18:48,160 --> 02:18:51,439
Speaker 2: the defending champions. And I am not gonna blame Florida's

2523
02:18:51,480 --> 02:18:56,680
Speaker 2: lost Tonight on on rest too much rest. The reality

2524
02:18:56,680 --> 02:19:00,440
Speaker 2: of it is Florida lost their composure. The Knights were

2525
02:19:00,480 --> 02:19:04,039
Speaker 2: better coach Tonight, more disciplined and taking nothing away from Florida.

2526
02:19:04,080 --> 02:19:07,640
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear from them. Make no mistake, this series

2527
02:19:07,720 --> 02:19:10,080
Speaker 2: is going to continue to take on a life of

2528
02:19:10,080 --> 02:19:13,600
Speaker 2: its own. If you look what Florida had to do

2529
02:19:13,800 --> 02:19:16,280
Speaker 2: just to get to the Stanley Cup Finals. First of all,

2530
02:19:16,280 --> 02:19:20,000
Speaker 2: they were the President's Club Trophy winner last year and

2531
02:19:20,040 --> 02:19:22,320
Speaker 2: they got knocked out the second round of the playoffs.

2532
02:19:22,560 --> 02:19:27,080
Speaker 2: They pick up Ka Chuck in the last July. They

2533
02:19:27,120 --> 02:19:29,320
Speaker 2: sign him, and he's been sensational this year, like one

2534
02:19:29,400 --> 02:19:32,840
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen points. He's been incredible in the playoffs,

2535
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:35,800
Speaker 2: one clutch goal after another. And when you look at

2536
02:19:35,800 --> 02:19:37,959
Speaker 2: the gauntlet that Florida had to go through, they almost

2537
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:40,720
Speaker 2: did make the playoffs. It took Pittsburgh losing on the

2538
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:44,800
Speaker 2: final night. Then they draw Boston, the best regular season

2539
02:19:44,840 --> 02:19:48,200
Speaker 2: team in the history of the National Hockey League, right,

2540
02:19:48,840 --> 02:19:53,600
Speaker 2: and it's just amazing. They're down three games to one.

2541
02:19:54,040 --> 02:19:57,240
Speaker 2: They force the seventh game, they're losing with a minute

2542
02:19:57,280 --> 02:20:00,320
Speaker 2: to go in game seven, could chuck scores take it

2543
02:20:00,320 --> 02:20:04,520
Speaker 2: to overtime and they win. Florida then advances to play

2544
02:20:04,760 --> 02:20:06,720
Speaker 2: a very good Toronto team, and I realize, you can

2545
02:20:06,800 --> 02:20:08,800
Speaker 2: make your jokes. Toronto's't done anything in the playoffs since

2546
02:20:08,840 --> 02:20:11,200
Speaker 2: Moby Dick was a mental I get that. They take

2547
02:20:11,240 --> 02:20:13,879
Speaker 2: Toronto out four games to one. Then they sweep a

2548
02:20:14,080 --> 02:20:18,640
Speaker 2: very good Carolina team with maybe the best defense in hockey. Look,

2549
02:20:19,440 --> 02:20:22,000
Speaker 2: you start out one and three against Boston, you win

2550
02:20:22,360 --> 02:20:25,080
Speaker 2: eleven of the next twelve. You're doing something. Paul Maurice,

2551
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:29,320
Speaker 2: a great coach, came out of the Detroit Junior Wings copyware,

2552
02:20:29,360 --> 02:20:32,959
Speaker 2: just like Pete de Boorr. They're four check, they're aggressive,

2553
02:20:33,280 --> 02:20:35,800
Speaker 2: they got a little chippy tonight. And this is where

2554
02:20:35,840 --> 02:20:37,800
Speaker 2: I give the Golden Knights a lot of credit. And

2555
02:20:38,360 --> 02:20:42,520
Speaker 2: I will say that give it up to Bruce Cassidy

2556
02:20:42,560 --> 02:20:46,800
Speaker 2: because the Golden Knights stayed disciplined, they didn't take de bait,

2557
02:20:47,320 --> 02:20:50,560
Speaker 2: and in doing so and keeping their composure, they advanced.

2558
02:20:50,560 --> 02:20:54,360
Speaker 2: They draw first blood Game two, Game two Monday night

2559
02:20:54,360 --> 02:20:58,720
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, five pm Pacific, eight pm Eastern.

2560
02:21:00,080 --> 02:21:02,600
Speaker 2: Coming up a little bit more NFL news. Guess where

2561
02:21:02,640 --> 02:21:06,160
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft is heading now in twenty twenty five.

2562
02:21:06,320 --> 02:21:09,320
Speaker 2: Why did the league choose the city? Well, I'll tell you,

2563
02:21:09,480 --> 02:21:11,760
Speaker 2: but first to go back to dry guy Kevin Wired

2564
02:21:11,879 --> 02:21:12,480
Speaker 2: with the latest.

2565
02:21:12,560 --> 02:21:15,920
Speaker 6: Well, I can imagine the partying in celebration still going

2566
02:21:16,040 --> 02:21:18,640
Speaker 6: deep into the night there in Vegas. After the Golden

2567
02:21:18,720 --> 02:21:21,959
Speaker 6: Knights taking a one to nothing series lead against the

2568
02:21:21,959 --> 02:21:24,480
Speaker 6: Florida Panthers, a five to two finals score was tight

2569
02:21:24,520 --> 02:21:28,439
Speaker 6: at two entering the third period. Vegas had three unanswered

2570
02:21:28,480 --> 02:21:31,040
Speaker 6: goals as they take the one nothing lead in the

2571
02:21:31,120 --> 02:21:34,039
Speaker 6: best of seven series. Game two set for Monday evening

2572
02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:37,760

Speaker 7: Back to you, Ernie, alrighty, Kevin.

2603
02:23:25,000 --> 02:23:27,920
Speaker 2: So. One of the great events that everybody looks forward

2604
02:23:27,959 --> 02:23:32,279
Speaker 2: to in April is the NFL Draft, And from nineteen

2605
02:23:32,360 --> 02:23:35,280
Speaker 2: sixty five to twenty fourteen, it was always held in

2606
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:38,920
Speaker 2: New York City. But then something happened and the NFL

2607
02:23:39,000 --> 02:23:42,080
Speaker 2: decided to select different cities every year, and so it

2608
02:23:42,200 --> 02:23:44,879
Speaker 2: gave all these cities an opportunity to post their own

2609
02:23:44,920 --> 02:23:48,280
Speaker 2: three day spectacle. You draw hundreds of thousands of fans

2610
02:23:48,920 --> 02:23:52,120
Speaker 2: from all around the country. It's a it's an incredible

2611
02:23:52,120 --> 02:23:55,640
Speaker 2: on set experience. It's incredible made for TV event. And

2612
02:23:55,680 --> 02:23:58,879
Speaker 2: it started Okay, they did it in twenty fifteen in Chicago.

2613
02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:01,400
Speaker 2: They came back at twenty six he did a Chicago again,

2614
02:24:02,400 --> 02:24:04,959
Speaker 2: but then it flipped to Philadelphia in twenty seventeen and

2615
02:24:05,480 --> 02:24:08,360
Speaker 2: Dallas in twenty eighteen. Then it really took off crazy

2616
02:24:08,400 --> 02:24:12,000
Speaker 2: crazy in Nashville twenty nineteen. Now twenty twenty was the

2617
02:24:12,040 --> 02:24:14,560
Speaker 2: COVID year, so he had Roger Goodell sitting in that

2618
02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:18,640
Speaker 2: goofy chair. But resumed in twenty twenty one in Cleveland

2619
02:24:19,080 --> 02:24:23,039
Speaker 2: on the Harbor and then twenty twenty two in Las Vegas.

2620
02:24:23,560 --> 02:24:27,280
Speaker 2: It was terrific over by the Caesars Forum. This past year,

2621
02:24:27,320 --> 02:24:30,640
Speaker 2: past April, it was in Kansas City. Next year, twenty

2622
02:24:30,680 --> 02:24:34,400
Speaker 2: twenty four, you will be in Detroit, Campus Marsh's Park.

2623
02:24:34,480 --> 02:24:39,360
Speaker 2: Campus Marsh's Park is downtown. It's walking distance of Ford

2624
02:24:39,400 --> 02:24:43,280
Speaker 2: Field and co America Park, great bars. There a Harmony Park.

2625
02:24:43,840 --> 02:24:46,240
Speaker 2: We did some remotes there when I was with the

2626
02:24:46,280 --> 02:24:49,360
Speaker 2: CBS Radio in Detroit. It was a blast. But in

2627
02:24:49,440 --> 02:24:54,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, this is gonna be interesting. The NFL Draft,

2628
02:24:54,640 --> 02:24:59,800
Speaker 2: wait for it will be green Bay, Wisconsin. Now, Green

2629
02:24:59,840 --> 02:25:02,960
Speaker 2: Bay will be the smallest city to ever host the event.

2630
02:25:03,640 --> 02:25:06,480
Speaker 2: There's a population in Green Bay of one hundred and

2631
02:25:06,520 --> 02:25:10,920
Speaker 2: seven thousand according to the US Census Bureau. Now, let's

2632
02:25:10,959 --> 02:25:15,320
Speaker 2: contrast that with the fact that justin Kansas City back

2633
02:25:15,360 --> 02:25:19,800
Speaker 2: in April, more than three hundred thousand fans were estimated

2634
02:25:19,840 --> 02:25:22,000
Speaker 2: to have attended the draft. I think it was even

2635
02:25:22,040 --> 02:25:25,400
Speaker 2: more than that in Nashville, we had plenty in Las Vegas.

2636
02:25:25,480 --> 02:25:30,000
Speaker 2: So what's the thinking. Well, look, Green Bay is an

2637
02:25:30,160 --> 02:25:33,200
Speaker 2: iconic NFL city. There's just no two ways about it.

2638
02:25:33,520 --> 02:25:37,039
Speaker 2: And the Draft is clearly now the National Football League.

2639
02:25:37,080 --> 02:25:40,080
Speaker 2: It's there. It's their biggest offseason event. And by doing

2640
02:25:40,160 --> 02:25:43,440
Speaker 2: it in different cities and creating all these spectacular events

2641
02:25:43,440 --> 02:25:46,760
Speaker 2: and locations, it gives Green Bay and lambeau Field and

2642
02:25:46,800 --> 02:25:50,880
Speaker 2: this history there in Roger Goodell and you know, combining

2643
02:25:50,920 --> 02:25:54,640
Speaker 2: with a lot of local partners on site, you bring

2644
02:25:54,680 --> 02:25:58,640
Speaker 2: out fans. The city will be treated to an incredible

2645
02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:01,400
Speaker 2: week long experience and they'll give a chance to show

2646
02:26:01,440 --> 02:26:04,760
Speaker 2: off the city and the state of Wisconsin. And I

2647
02:26:04,800 --> 02:26:06,640
Speaker 2: can tell you the Packers are giddy about it. They's

2648
02:26:06,680 --> 02:26:08,959
Speaker 2: CEO Mark Murphy said he believes it's an incredible day

2649
02:26:08,959 --> 02:26:11,880
Speaker 2: for the franchise. And it is because the truth of

2650
02:26:11,920 --> 02:26:14,560
Speaker 2: the matter is the Packers they have a really rich history.

2651
02:26:14,600 --> 02:26:16,920
Speaker 2: They have a proud history. They won the first two

2652
02:26:16,959 --> 02:26:21,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowls under Vince Lombardi, right went to the Super

2653
02:26:21,080 --> 02:26:24,440
Speaker 2: Bowl in ninety seven, beat New England, went to won

2654
02:26:24,480 --> 02:26:29,680
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl Aaron Rodgers, and so regardless of whether

2655
02:26:29,760 --> 02:26:33,200
Speaker 2: or not the Packers are good, are not as good

2656
02:26:33,480 --> 02:26:37,680
Speaker 2: some years, they're always seemingly relevant, they're always seemingly in

2657
02:26:37,760 --> 02:26:40,600
Speaker 2: the news, and green Bay turns out they've sort of

2658
02:26:40,640 --> 02:26:44,080
Speaker 2: been angling for the draft for many, many years. Okay,

2659
02:26:44,160 --> 02:26:46,840
Speaker 2: They've got actually a parcel of land across the street

2660
02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:52,880
Speaker 2: from lambeau Field. It's called Title Town, and there's residential areas,

2661
02:26:52,920 --> 02:26:57,280
Speaker 2: there's commercial there's technology firms, there's recreational areas. And this

2662
02:26:57,440 --> 02:26:59,240
Speaker 2: is gonna be a nice boon for the city of

2663
02:26:59,240 --> 02:27:02,680
Speaker 2: green Bay because help promote their local developments there and

2664
02:27:04,240 --> 02:27:07,600
Speaker 2: super I know that that Green Bays would have loved

2665
02:27:08,320 --> 02:27:10,880
Speaker 2: to have hosted a Super Bowl, and it's been hosted

2666
02:27:10,879 --> 02:27:12,800
Speaker 2: in cold weather cities like Minnesota, de trop but it

2667
02:27:12,879 --> 02:27:15,120
Speaker 2: was even hosted in New York a few years back

2668
02:27:15,160 --> 02:27:19,160
Speaker 2: and the weather cooperated. The problem is, you really can't.

2669
02:27:19,600 --> 02:27:21,959
Speaker 2: You really can't host the Super Bowl in green Bay

2670
02:27:22,280 --> 02:27:24,440
Speaker 2: because there are any there aren't enough hotel rooms there,

2671
02:27:24,920 --> 02:27:28,439
Speaker 2: and the weather would probably be just too cold in February.

2672
02:27:28,560 --> 02:27:31,560
Speaker 2: The closest large city is Milwaukee, that's two hours away,

2673
02:27:31,600 --> 02:27:35,119
Speaker 2: so that's not going to work, So you can't. Green

2674
02:27:35,160 --> 02:27:36,760
Speaker 2: Bay is never going to get a Super Bowl. And

2675
02:27:36,959 --> 02:27:39,720
Speaker 2: not that not that I can never see in the

2676
02:27:39,760 --> 02:27:45,120
Speaker 2: foreseeable future. But because it's title town, and because of

2677
02:27:45,160 --> 02:27:48,200
Speaker 2: their history and their iconic uniforms and their colors, and

2678
02:27:48,680 --> 02:27:52,800
Speaker 2: you you construct an area adjacent to lambeau Field, it'll

2679
02:27:52,800 --> 02:27:58,080
Speaker 2: be very statuesque. So congratulations to Green Bay. Congratulations on

2680
02:27:58,160 --> 02:28:01,920
Speaker 2: them getting the raft in twenty twenty five. As I

2681
02:28:01,920 --> 02:28:05,440
Speaker 2: said in twenty twenty four, it's set for Detroit when

2682
02:28:05,480 --> 02:28:08,600
Speaker 2: you consider how successful the draft has been after leaving

2683
02:28:08,640 --> 02:28:13,119
Speaker 2: New York in twenty fourteen, Chicago for two years, Philly, Dallas, Nashville,

2684
02:28:13,760 --> 02:28:15,959
Speaker 2: and of course twenty twenty there was a lockdown because

2685
02:28:15,959 --> 02:28:18,439
Speaker 2: of the COVID pandemic, and then twenty twenty one Cleveland,

2686
02:28:18,760 --> 02:28:22,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Vegas, and last year in Kansas City. Look,

2687
02:28:22,640 --> 02:28:26,680
Speaker 2: this is a This has turned into I think, not

2688
02:28:26,720 --> 02:28:29,520
Speaker 2: only an anticipated event, but a well celebrated event, a

2689
02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:32,080
Speaker 2: well a tended event. You watch it on TV, you

2690
02:28:32,120 --> 02:28:34,080
Speaker 2: pick up the vibe and being there in person, and

2691
02:28:34,480 --> 02:28:38,760
Speaker 2: it's what I could it is the Woodstock comparison overused,

2692
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:42,080
Speaker 2: probably is, but you get the drift right. And so

2693
02:28:42,720 --> 02:28:46,520
Speaker 2: the nice thing about it is this isn't some wacky pull,

2694
02:28:47,280 --> 02:28:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, ping pong balls out of a fish bowl

2695
02:28:50,320 --> 02:28:53,519
Speaker 2: to see who gets it next. The NFL directly negotiates

2696
02:28:53,560 --> 02:28:57,400
Speaker 2: with their prospective host cities. They don't conduct like auction

2697
02:28:57,600 --> 02:29:00,600
Speaker 2: like process, so that goes to the highest bidder. And

2698
02:29:01,040 --> 02:29:03,720
Speaker 2: by the way, it has nothing to do with ownership votes,

2699
02:29:04,480 --> 02:29:08,359
Speaker 2: campaigning league spokesman any of that. You know, letter ready campaigns.

2700
02:29:08,680 --> 02:29:11,760
Speaker 2: The league just simply decides who's going to be next.

2701
02:29:11,800 --> 02:29:14,560
Speaker 2: So I'm imagining at some point it's going to be

2702
02:29:14,680 --> 02:29:19,679
Speaker 2: damn near every NFL city at some point. But congratulations,

2703
02:29:20,000 --> 02:29:23,320
Speaker 2: Green Bay, You're getting the NFL Draft in twenty twenty five,

2704
02:29:23,840 --> 02:29:28,520
Speaker 2: and I'm sure they'll do a great job coming up.

2705
02:29:28,600 --> 02:29:31,920
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup is well underway. We've talked about what

2706
02:29:32,080 --> 02:29:36,920
Speaker 2: a sought after trophy, what an iconic trophy. It's an

2707
02:29:37,040 --> 02:29:39,800
Speaker 2: artifact that's one hundred and thirty one years old, a

2708
02:29:39,879 --> 02:29:42,440
Speaker 2: true artifact that's traveled around the world. It had been

2709
02:29:42,480 --> 02:29:45,080
Speaker 2: forty nine of the fifty states, not Hawaii, and every

2710
02:29:45,080 --> 02:29:48,960
Speaker 2: player gets a personal day. And so as a result

2711
02:29:49,080 --> 02:29:52,360
Speaker 2: of its well traveled nature and its worldwide history and

2712
02:29:52,400 --> 02:29:56,480
Speaker 2: its iconic nature, it only stands to reason there are

2713
02:29:56,520 --> 02:29:59,680
Speaker 2: some goofy fun facts that I bet you didn't know

2714
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:03,680
Speaker 2: about the Stanley Cup. Trophy that you're about to learn.

Speaker 2: Saturday night. That would be Mark Ramsey, our technical producer.

2724
02:30:49,160 --> 02:30:52,800
Speaker 2: He made his debut tonight on What My Name, Kevin

02:30:52,840 --> 02:30:56,560
Speaker 2: Wired on the updates, and of course Patrick sweeka turn

2726
02:30:56,640 --> 02:31:00,039
Speaker 2: all the dials keeping us glued together, allowing us to

2727
02:31:00,080 --> 02:31:03,440
Speaker 2: bring this programming to a grateful nation, our six hundred

2728
02:31:03,440 --> 02:31:06,600
Speaker 2: affiliates and around the world Serious Sextem Channel eighty three.

2729
02:31:06,959 --> 02:31:10,680
Speaker 2: We greatly appreciate you listening so tonight in Las Vegas

2730
02:31:10,720 --> 02:31:14,440
Speaker 2: where I am. Earlier check that Saturday night in Las Vegas,

2731
02:31:14,520 --> 02:31:18,840
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Playoffs got off to a rousing start.

2732
02:31:19,920 --> 02:31:22,520
Speaker 2: This is going to be a very spirited series between

2733
02:31:22,560 --> 02:31:26,359
Speaker 2: two teams that are looking for their first ever Stanley

2734
02:31:26,360 --> 02:31:33,280
Speaker 2: Cup trophy. Stanley Cup Championship. Stanley Cup is Hockey's holy grail.

2735
02:31:33,680 --> 02:31:38,280
Speaker 2: You know that, But trump's probably all trophies in all sports.

2736
02:31:38,280 --> 02:31:41,480
Speaker 2: It's considered the toughest one to win for multiple reasons.

2737
02:31:41,560 --> 02:31:43,360
Speaker 2: I went over a lot of them on my Friday Show.

2738
02:31:43,720 --> 02:31:47,720
Speaker 2: There's only one Stanley Cup that's in use. Unlike most

2739
02:31:47,760 --> 02:31:50,560
Speaker 2: other sports, they don't make a new trophy every year.

2740
02:31:50,959 --> 02:31:54,120
Speaker 2: It's passed from one year's champion to the next. It's

2741
02:31:54,160 --> 02:31:57,200
Speaker 2: an icon. It's one of a kind. It's one hundred

2742
02:31:57,240 --> 02:31:59,480
Speaker 2: and thirty one years old. It's a true artifact. It

2743
02:31:59,520 --> 02:32:03,240
Speaker 2: weighs four pounds, it's just under thirty six inches tall,

2744
02:32:03,800 --> 02:32:06,520
Speaker 2: and you can't hold it above your head unless you

2745
02:32:06,600 --> 02:32:09,440
Speaker 2: win it and you get your name engraved on it.

2746
02:32:09,520 --> 02:32:13,440
Speaker 2: And the Montreal Canadians, by the way, they have their

2747
02:32:13,520 --> 02:32:17,000
Speaker 2: name engraved on it more than any other team, twenty

2748
02:32:17,160 --> 02:32:20,240
Speaker 2: four times. By the way, the Stanley Cup it's been

2749
02:32:20,760 --> 02:32:24,280
Speaker 2: around longer than the NHL itself, considering it was first

2750
02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:27,920
Speaker 2: used in eighteen ninety three and the NHL's inaugural season

2751
02:32:28,080 --> 02:32:31,680
Speaker 2: was nineteen eighteen, so when the Cup was first presented

2752
02:32:31,680 --> 02:32:34,480
Speaker 2: as a prize for the best amateur hockey team. All

2753
02:32:34,520 --> 02:32:36,800
Speaker 2: the rules that Lord Stanley set well, there's still an

2754
02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:41,279
Speaker 2: effect today. There haven't been any rule changes. The tradition

2755
02:32:41,520 --> 02:32:46,280
Speaker 2: passing the trophy the personal day. This is a crazy,

2756
02:32:46,640 --> 02:32:53,120
Speaker 2: fun neat odd tradition. Okay. And by the way, speaking

2757
02:32:53,160 --> 02:32:57,680
Speaker 2: of tradition, the Stanley Cup actually originated from royalty because

2758
02:32:57,720 --> 02:33:01,040
Speaker 2: Lord Stanley was appointed by Queen Victoria as a governor

2759
02:33:01,080 --> 02:33:04,760
Speaker 2: of Canada and I believe eighteen eighty eight, and she

2760
02:33:05,040 --> 02:33:07,520
Speaker 2: was a hockey fan. Both of her sons began playing

2761
02:33:07,560 --> 02:33:11,040
Speaker 2: ice hockey, and then Lord Stanley himself ended up getting involved.

2762
02:33:11,360 --> 02:33:14,960
Speaker 2: He helped create the Ontario Hockey Association. He convinced his

2763
02:33:15,080 --> 02:33:18,520
Speaker 2: sons to donate a trophy. Thus the Stanley Cup was born.

2764
02:33:18,840 --> 02:33:22,840
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup became presented. It was originally donated as

2765
02:33:22,840 --> 02:33:24,920
Speaker 2: a trophy for the best team in the Amateur Hockey League,

2766
02:33:25,480 --> 02:33:30,000
Speaker 2: eventually transitioned to the ultimate prize in the National Hockey League.

2767
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:33,800
Speaker 2: It's presented immediately after the win. And you see the

2768
02:33:33,800 --> 02:33:38,279
Speaker 2: great photos over time you get it. Pull ten strangers

2769
02:33:38,280 --> 02:33:40,560
Speaker 2: off the street and say what is this. I bet

2770
02:33:40,640 --> 02:33:43,800
Speaker 2: you nine out of ten are gonna say, that's a

2771
02:33:43,840 --> 02:33:46,520
Speaker 2: picture of the Stanley Cup. I bet you eight out

2772
02:33:46,520 --> 02:33:48,440
Speaker 2: of ten for sure, maybe even nine out of ten.

2773
02:33:48,840 --> 02:33:52,720
Speaker 2: And it's again, I believe, the most difficult to win.

2774
02:33:53,680 --> 02:33:56,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying hockey's the only physically demanding sport. I'm

2775
02:33:56,560 --> 02:33:59,360
Speaker 2: not saying all excellence is equal when it comes to

2776
02:33:59,440 --> 02:34:02,520
Speaker 2: whether it's twenty Super Bowl or the World Series or

2777
02:34:02,600 --> 02:34:05,840
Speaker 2: the NBA Championship. But the truth is, when you've got

2778
02:34:05,840 --> 02:34:08,320
Speaker 2: a regular season, it's eighty two games in a postseason

2779
02:34:08,800 --> 02:34:11,879
Speaker 2: that lasts up to twenty eight games. Hockey's not for

2780
02:34:11,920 --> 02:34:14,320
Speaker 2: the week. It's not for the mentally or physically weak.

2781
02:34:14,680 --> 02:34:17,320
Speaker 2: The regular season the postseason are exhausting. And you got

2782
02:34:17,320 --> 02:34:19,120
Speaker 2: to remember, you got a number eight seed here in

2783
02:34:19,120 --> 02:34:21,000
Speaker 2: the finals, as I guess you're do in the NBA,

2784
02:34:21,080 --> 02:34:24,120
Speaker 2: but that's rare. But in hockey, every year you have

2785
02:34:24,160 --> 02:34:28,080
Speaker 2: an overachieving team. And the disparity between the number one

2786
02:34:28,120 --> 02:34:30,840
Speaker 2: seeds and the number eight seeds is, you know, one

2787
02:34:30,879 --> 02:34:33,200
Speaker 2: inch apart, not even that one centime, you're apart. Hold

2788
02:34:33,240 --> 02:34:36,440
Speaker 2: your fingers together, and that's that's how close it is.

2789
02:34:36,640 --> 02:34:40,360
Speaker 2: All right. This is crazier than an Olympic medal. And

2790
02:34:41,160 --> 02:34:45,280
Speaker 2: because of the size and the significance and the and

2791
02:34:45,560 --> 02:34:48,560
Speaker 2: you know the civic pride. It goes beyond all of that.

2792
02:34:49,120 --> 02:34:53,080
Speaker 2: So the Cup is here in Las Vegas, people go

2793
02:34:53,080 --> 02:34:55,640
Speaker 2: gog out to see it. There's got plenty of stories

2794
02:34:55,920 --> 02:34:59,879
Speaker 2: and as a result, not all the stories are you

2795
02:35:00,040 --> 02:35:04,120
Speaker 2: usual run of the mill stories that you'd find. Oh yeah, okay,

2796
02:35:04,160 --> 02:35:06,800
Speaker 2: that happened. No, try this. There have been at least

2797
02:35:06,800 --> 02:35:10,040
Speaker 2: four babies that have been baptized in the Stanley Cup.

2798
02:35:10,400 --> 02:35:13,200
Speaker 2: I had a tweeter send me one. The Colorado as

2799
02:35:13,240 --> 02:35:16,320
Speaker 2: fan Jack Johnson, when the Avs won the Cup last year,

2800
02:35:16,720 --> 02:35:19,680
Speaker 2: he had his one of their children baptized in the

2801
02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:22,520
Speaker 2: cuple may I think all three children. But the Colorado

2802
02:35:22,520 --> 02:35:25,600
Speaker 2: Avalanche actually started that tradition back in nineteen ninety six.

2803
02:35:25,920 --> 02:35:28,240
Speaker 2: They knocked out my Red Wings went on to beat

2804
02:35:28,320 --> 02:35:31,600
Speaker 2: these same Florida Panthers. They had a defenseman, Sylvan le Fay.

2805
02:35:31,959 --> 02:35:34,200
Speaker 2: He used his personal day with the cup to have

2806
02:35:34,280 --> 02:35:36,920
Speaker 2: his daughter Kristen in the top hole. If you don't

2807
02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:40,320
Speaker 2: don't take this serious, think about that your kids. How

2808
02:35:40,360 --> 02:35:43,760
Speaker 2: sacred that is having your kid baptized in the Stanley Cup.

2809
02:35:43,840 --> 02:35:46,720
Speaker 2: Eleven years later, the Detroit Red Wings after they won

2810
02:35:46,760 --> 02:35:49,840
Speaker 2: the Cup in two thousand and eight, we had a

2811
02:35:49,920 --> 02:35:53,119
Speaker 2: left winger from Sweden by the name of Thomas Holmstrom.

2812
02:35:53,760 --> 02:35:56,039
Speaker 2: What did he do with his personal time? He brought

2813
02:35:56,120 --> 02:35:58,080
Speaker 2: the cup all the way back to his native country

2814
02:35:58,120 --> 02:36:02,840
Speaker 2: Sweden so that his cousin could baptize his seven week

2815
02:36:02,879 --> 02:36:05,000
Speaker 2: old daughter and the trophy. And then, of course is

2816
02:36:05,080 --> 02:36:07,680
Speaker 2: recent as twenty seventeen. Again, last year I mentioned Jack

2817
02:36:07,720 --> 02:36:11,439
Speaker 2: Johnson of the Colorado Avalanche. But back in twenty seventeen,

2818
02:36:11,959 --> 02:36:14,959
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Penguins had a four name John Archibald. He

2819
02:36:15,040 --> 02:36:18,440
Speaker 2: gave his infant son the same treatment. By the way

2820
02:36:18,640 --> 02:36:20,920
Speaker 2: we've talked about this, the Stanley Cup has been all

2821
02:36:20,920 --> 02:36:23,120
Speaker 2: around the world. Damn near every country. Forty nine of

2822
02:36:23,160 --> 02:36:26,000
Speaker 2: the fiftiest eight. It's just not Hawaii. But believe it

2823
02:36:26,120 --> 02:36:28,840
Speaker 2: or not, to Bruce Morale, for the Canadian troops serving

2824
02:36:28,840 --> 02:36:32,039
Speaker 2: in the Middle East during the war in Afghanistan, they

2825
02:36:32,200 --> 02:36:34,520
Speaker 2: actually flew the Cup in for a meet and greet

2826
02:36:34,520 --> 02:36:37,600
Speaker 2: with the Canadian troops. Canadians loved nothing more than hockey.

2827
02:36:37,640 --> 02:36:41,480
Speaker 2: You could read up there were reactions that from the troops.

2828
02:36:41,480 --> 02:36:43,840
Speaker 2: It was very emotional. In the Hall of Fame Stanley

2829
02:36:43,879 --> 02:36:46,080
Speaker 2: Cup Journal when it went to Afghanistan, you could read

2830
02:36:46,120 --> 02:36:47,800
Speaker 2: about it. You could probably find it on the internet.

2831
02:36:48,240 --> 02:36:50,080
Speaker 2: Can't make this stuff off, folks. By the way, I

2832
02:36:50,120 --> 02:36:52,320
Speaker 2: mentioned the Penguins a minute ago. How about in nineteen

2833
02:36:52,400 --> 02:36:56,000
Speaker 2: ninety two, their Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux, Mario lemu

2834
02:36:56,720 --> 02:36:59,440
Speaker 2: he decided to take the cup swimming. Why he wanted

2835
02:36:59,480 --> 02:37:02,200
Speaker 2: to see if the cup could float. Well, no, it

2836
02:37:02,200 --> 02:37:05,160
Speaker 2: turns out the cup can't float. It sunk to the

2837
02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:07,560
Speaker 2: bottom like a rock. Why not, It's thirty four pounds,

2838
02:37:07,560 --> 02:37:09,879
Speaker 2: as big as stake up three feet tall. But Mario

2839
02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:12,560
Speaker 2: Lemieux took the cup swimming in nineteen ninety two and

2840
02:37:12,600 --> 02:37:15,840
Speaker 2: discovered the cup cannot float. Now the cup's actually been

2841
02:37:15,879 --> 02:37:19,480
Speaker 2: lost once. There's actually been an attempt to steal it once,

2842
02:37:20,040 --> 02:37:25,320
Speaker 2: both surround the Montreal Canadians. See back in the nineteen sixties,

2843
02:37:25,879 --> 02:37:29,760
Speaker 2: the Montreal Canadians, well, a few of their players were

2844
02:37:29,800 --> 02:37:32,520
Speaker 2: car pulling across Canada and they were driving to some

2845
02:37:32,720 --> 02:37:34,720
Speaker 2: function and they had to blow out. One of their

2846
02:37:34,720 --> 02:37:36,560
Speaker 2: tires had a flat, so they pulled over the side

2847
02:37:36,560 --> 02:37:38,080
Speaker 2: of the road in or does to change the tire,

2848
02:37:38,520 --> 02:37:41,199
Speaker 2: he had to take the Stanley Cup out of the trunk.

2849
02:37:41,280 --> 02:37:43,280
Speaker 2: They set it on the side of the road. Changed

2850
02:37:43,320 --> 02:37:46,480
Speaker 2: the tire, slammed the trunk and took off and they

2851
02:37:46,520 --> 02:37:49,200
Speaker 2: got about twenty miles away and said, he'll wait a minute.

2852
02:37:49,280 --> 02:37:53,199
Speaker 2: We forgot the cup. They literally turned around panic, drove

2853
02:37:53,240 --> 02:37:55,320
Speaker 2: back to the spot where they remembered the cup was.

2854
02:37:55,720 --> 02:37:59,080
Speaker 2: Snowfall had started, but the cup was saved. Finally, a

2855
02:37:59,160 --> 02:38:01,840
Speaker 2: Canadians fan tried to steal the cup from an arena

2856
02:38:01,879 --> 02:38:04,119
Speaker 2: in Chicago. Walked out the front door. A cop stopped

2857
02:38:04,160 --> 02:38:06,360
Speaker 2: him and said, where the hell you're going with that cup.

2858
02:38:06,400 --> 02:38:08,760
Speaker 2: He says, I'm taking the cup back to Montreal where

2859
02:38:08,760 --> 02:38:11,200
Speaker 2: it belongs. The guy thought it was so funny he

2860
02:38:11,280 --> 02:38:14,320
Speaker 2: wasn't even arrested. They gave the cup back. There you

2861
02:38:14,440 --> 02:38:18,000
Speaker 2: have it. Stanley Cup is underway Game two Monday night.

2862
02:38:18,400 --> 02:38:20,720
Speaker 2: That'll do for the Bernie Frale show back next Friday.

2863
02:38:20,800 --> 02:38:22,600
Speaker 2: In the meantime, keep it locked right here up next

2864
02:38:22,600 --> 02:38:25,600
Speaker 2: to the great Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio.
