No 54 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: one dislikes it. Okay, I'll give you somebody that people 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: do are. It's polarizing, like and dislike. Is Lebron James. 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: So there is this picture of Lebron Maverick Carter, his agent, 57 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: and Nikolae Jokich's agent on a boat and there's lots 58 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: of like, what are they talking about? Is Lebron going 59 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: to Denver? Is Yoki coming? To LA, what's going on? Then, 60 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was yesterday or earlier today, it 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: was yesterday. It came out that the conversation was in 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: regards to Maverick Carter starting a league, some international league 63 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: where you have men's teams and women's teams and it'll 64 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: be like Live Golf, only for the NBA. Like wow, 65 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: that's genius, right. Everybody takes an idea, and I like, 66 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't don't know if Kudoba came first or if 67 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: Chipotle came first, but somebody stole somebody else's fast casual idea, right, 68 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: and then you look at all the fast cash places. 69 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: Then you guys have had kava, like kava came in, 70 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: Like I will do the Greek form of it. There 71 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: is an Indian food form of it. But as I 72 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: told you, no disrespect to my Indian brothers and sisters, 73 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: but I just I don't do Indian food. It's like 74 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: the only thing I don't do. I don't. I just don't. 75 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: It's just not my jam. But the bigger point is, 76 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: like you know, I obviously Live has made a lot 77 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: of people a lot of money. It has broken through. 78 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: They have partnered with the PGA. No one knows you know, 79 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: what's going to happen to in the future. But a 80 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: lot of guys have gotten rich off it, and it's 81 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: it's interesting, and they try and do the kind of 82 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: rock and roll NBA introductions and try and spice it 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: up whatever. And golf, which can be seen as lame, 84 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: is trying to be made cool by liv golf whatever. 85 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: Whether it's working or not working, it's still surviving. You 86 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: guys are still getting paid and so it's lasted this long, 87 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: so it has worked. But but I have a hypothesis 88 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: that I'd like to share with you, and you tell 89 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: me if it makes sense. Okay. Chris Prefett, by the way, 90 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: is filming in for Dan Byer's here. Hey, welcome and Chris, 91 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: of course you got Iowa, Sam and m A Man 92 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: Jay Stoo. Okay. So I think most people who watch 93 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: and cover the NBA are familiar and some people or 94 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: not that Lebron James has made it very very clear 95 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: he nearly wants to own an NBA team. He wants 96 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: to own a Vegas expansion team. Vegas expansion team. And 97 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: many of you are driving along, you're sitting your cubicle, 98 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: or you listen to the DG Show. Maybe you're listen 99 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: to us on the app and you're like, yeah, I 100 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: remember something about that. Okay. So I think, first of all, 101 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: this this meeting very easily could have happened in secret, 102 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: and no no one knows about it. Why would somebody 103 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: take a picture and then put it out on social media? 104 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: Because they want you to know it's happening, right, that's inarguable. 105 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't have to talk to somebody in Lebron's camp 106 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: or Yokich just camp to know that the reason it 107 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: was out on social media is they want you to 108 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: know what's happening. Why would they want you to know 109 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: what's happening. Well, there's only two possible reasons. One, Lebron 110 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: was told he's not getting a team, which is altogether possible, 111 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: maybe even likely, because as deep as Lebron's pockets are, 112 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: they're not that deep. They're not that deep. The Lebron 113 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: being worth a billion dollars it sounds good, it's very 114 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: likely to not be real because I'm sure a lot 115 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: of it is tied up in Nike stock and in 116 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: other stocks. Not that that doesn't count in your terms 117 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: of your evaluation, but I think a lot of it 118 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: is based upon his personal brand, his personal value, not 119 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: how much actual cash he has or how much how 120 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: many actual assets he has and whether not those assets 121 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: equal out to a billion dollars. Remember NBA teams. We 122 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: just watched the Lakers go for ten billion dollars billion, 123 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: So I know NBA players, and Lebron seems to be 124 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: the richest of them, but that pales in comparison to 125 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: the guys that are in the in the financial financial markets. 126 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: So there's one of only two possibles that I've come 127 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: up with. Either one, he was told he's not getting 128 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: a team and this is his way of going. Or two, 129 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: he wants to leverage his way to getting a team, 130 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: and the only way to get leverage is if you 131 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: don't give me this team, I'm going to go out 132 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: and form this other league that's going to be in 133 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: competition with you, with the hopes of ultimately getting a 134 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: team that way. That's the only two possible solutions I 135 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: can think of, or reasons I can think of why 136 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Lebron would nullly have this meeting. Having the meeting, you 137 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: could take a meeting with anybody, but why do you 138 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: want to take a picture of it? Why do you 139 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: want people to know what it was about. Why do 140 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: you want to know? Why do you want to include 141 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: Nikola Jokic's agent in it. It's pretty obvious right that 142 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: this is I'm sure they're going to sell it as 143 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: this is our next step. This is what we do 144 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: after we retire, is we own NBA teams. We force 145 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: expansion into Europe by putting together teams in Europe, and 146 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: then ultimately they joined the NBA. Or maybe it's because 147 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: we make them pay us, we make them give us 148 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: a seat at the table, or maybe it's an fu 149 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: The issue with any league outside the end, in comparison 150 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: to golf is golfers, outside of their sponsorship money, if 151 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: they don't play well on Thursday and Friday, they don't 152 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: get paid. They don't get to hang around for Saturday 153 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: and Sunday. Whereas NBA players they're plenty well compensated. And 154 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: oh yeah, by the way, that money is based upon 155 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: TV deals, and a new league wouldn't have enough teams, 156 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: nor would have the star power to have those big 157 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: TV deals. And if the sale was, hey, we're gonna 158 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: launch with Lebron James, the problem is that by the 159 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: time Lebron James's contract expires, Say they start a new 160 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: league and he is the centerpiece of it, to be 161 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: forty one years old, and it'll be playing against rummies, 162 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: and it will diminish all the things he did in 163 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: the NBA. It just will. That's the reality to it. Okay, 164 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: it'll diminish what he's done in the NBA. And the 165 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: last part and maybe the most important part to it 166 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: that this is my takeaway, and it may not sit 167 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: well with you, but I know it to be reality, 168 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: which is Lebron has never cared about Laker fans or 169 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: being a Laker. He clearly doesn't care about being a 170 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: Miami Heat and very likely doesn't care about being a 171 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavalier and what all that represents because he left 172 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: there twice, and conducting such a meeting and allowing your 173 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: agent with a firm that you started to tweet out 174 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: that picture showing that you're trying to do harm to 175 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: the league that has helped make you into a billionaire, 176 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: only shows that Lebron James cares only about the relationships 177 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: of people he knew in high school. And that's it. 178 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: That's it. He cared about JJ Reddick and their relationship 179 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: he never would allowed his agent to go public and 180 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: say they're basically they're not a championship team. If he 181 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: cared about the Lakers, he wouldn't do so many of 182 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: the things he's done while being a member of the Lakers. 183 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: Who discussed this, is he cared about being a member 184 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: of the Miami Heat, he would have just left. Why 185 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: they played in four NBA finals, it won two of them. 186 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: He shown no value, nor has he ever claimed that 187 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: as partner. You know, this is who Lebron is. It 188 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: definitely tracks he's somebody who doesn't actually care about anybody 189 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: outside of his inner circle. And again that's okay with 190 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: the exception of the fact that he desperately want to 191 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: be loved by everybody and cared for by everybody. But 192 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: those are really transactional relationships. So the big takeaways from 193 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: Lebron meeting with Jokic's agent is I think it's a 194 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: leverage play or an fu play because he was either 195 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: told he's not going to get a team, or he 196 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: wants to try and force himself to getting a team, 197 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: and the only way he can do it is to 198 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: force his way by helping create this new league. The 199 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: miscalculation is that league has zero value unless it has stars, 200 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: and the best star would be Lebron James, who, don't 201 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: get me wrong, people would come out and watch in 202 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, if he's start trying to start a league, 203 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: people would watch, but they're not going to pay attention 204 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: to a league. And then at some point when your 205 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: best and most known player retires, then what you have nothing. 206 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: It feels like it's simply a leverage play in order 207 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: to get the NBA to give him that team in Vegas, 208 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: which they may or may not have during the next cycle. 209 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: All right, coming up next to The Doug Gottlieb Show 210 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio.

You guys heard what 228 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler said? Was that two weeks ago? Right? Here's 229 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler a couple weeks ago talking about this is 230 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: before the Open Championship, by the way, talking about word 231 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: flight bounds. 232 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 4: That's why I talk about families being my priority, because 233 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 4: it really is. You know, I'm blessed to be able 234 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: to come out here and play golf. But if my 235 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 4: golf ever started affecting my home life or whatever affected 236 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 4: the relationship I have with my wife or with my son, 237 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 4: you know, that's gonna be the last day that I 238 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: play out here for a living. You know, this is 239 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 4: not the be all end all. This is not the 240 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 4: most important thing in my life. And that's why I 241 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 4: rust with why is this so important to me? Because 242 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: you know, I would much rather be a great father 243 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 4: than I would be a great golfer. You know that 244 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, that that's what's more 245 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 4: important to me. 246 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: Okay, so what makes a great father? Can you? Can 247 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: you be both? Right? Can you be both? Here's Tom 248 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Brady on Scotty Scheffler. Oh, I'm sorry Tom Brady talking 249 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: about Scotty Scheffler. I thought this was super, super interesting 250 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: right where he he he just had a different perspective 251 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: on it, and one that just be honest, I kind 252 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: of share. He said. Scotty said he'd rather be a 253 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: better father and husband than a good golfer. My question 254 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: is why are those mutually exclusive? Now? Again, if I 255 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: was to go through it, I don't think they were, 256 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: but he said if there was ever a chance that 257 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: they were, that's when he would shut it down. But regardless, 258 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: sure they're different blocks on the pyramid, but they're part 259 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: of the same pyramid. They're connected. For instance, I think 260 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: being part of being a part of being a great father, 261 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: is an example of doing what it takes to take 262 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: care of your family. I choose to do it by 263 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: playing football, my dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, 264 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: the moments when I was laser focused. Those were times 265 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: when I believe I was doing the best possible thing 266 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: for my family and my kids by prioritizing my profession 267 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: and teaching by example what it takes to be really 268 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: good at true job. But it takes a follow through 269 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: with commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate, 270 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: and showing them also by example that work is a 271 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: big part of all of our lives. I'll just give 272 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: the floor to you, Jay stew because you have a 273 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: very pointed criticism of Brady in this correct. 274 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it just doesn't It doesn't pass the smell test 275 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 5: to me. I think this is an easy thing to 276 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 5: say after I think it's the kind of a way 277 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 5: of justifying all the time spent away from your kids 278 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 5: that I was setting an example for them. This is 279 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 5: what I know about Tom Brady, And again, nobody knows anything. 280 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: Nobody was in their house other than the family, But 281 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 5: this is what I know. In the wake of the roast, 282 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 5: what did we hear? We heard the ex complaining that 283 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 5: he put his kids in that situation with the roast, 284 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 5: and we've heard Tom himself say I regret doing the 285 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 5: roast because of what was said about my family. So 286 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 5: it's just really strange to see him obviously internalize what 287 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 5: Scotty Scheffer said, like Tom took that personally and this 288 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 5: is his way of justifying it, that I spent all 289 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 5: that time away for my kids to be a great 290 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 5: example and that's part of being a great father. I 291 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 5: just don't buy it. 292 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: You don't think that's part of being a great father. 293 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 5: No, I don't believe that was a part of Brady's 294 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 5: motivation to be great. I think Brady is built differently 295 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 5: than Scheffler. Scheffler is unfulfilled by kicking people's ass. That 296 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 5: was something that was very fulfilling for Brady. They're just 297 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 5: built differently. But I think Brady kind of took it 298 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 5: personally what Scotti said. 299 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: Oh, I listen again when you when you've gone through 300 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: a divorce, and I have, so I can speak on 301 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: this one right, especially when you are you know, look, 302 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: I'm not Tom Brady. But similarly, in terms of there's 303 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: there's times in which you're away from home that most 304 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: dads are not away from home. Now, there's times which 305 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: you're home where most dads are not home either, but 306 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: no one chooses to recognize that. But I think you're 307 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: talking about and when we were talking about it off air, 308 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: you were talking about resentment and how his kids probably resent, 309 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, those last couple of years of playing football 310 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: when he could have been with them. And my thought is, okay, 311 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: twofold one, you'll end up resenting your kids if you 312 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: turn down a great work opportunity for your kids. And secondly, 313 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: I just disagree with that your whole premise of it. 314 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: I think that's part of being a great dad. Yes, 315 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: you do, you know, And if I look back, there 316 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: should have been times in which I prioritize stuff. My 317 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: thing was I tried to get home as quickly as possible. 318 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: When I was done, I would take the last flight 319 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: out in the first fight back, That's what I would do. 320 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: But no, I never said no to work opportunities because 321 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: I thought, I do. I agree, that's a good chance 322 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: to show your kids, Hey, my dad he grinds everything 323 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: we have is because he's gonna work. Now, do you 324 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: have to, at some point in off seasons and smart times, 325 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: say hey, I need to diut back, I need to 326 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: put my phone away. I need to be a human being. Sure. Sure, 327 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: maybe it's because I'm much more aligned with the Brady 328 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: perspective than the Scottie Scheffler perspective. But I think it's 329 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: completely unfair to think that's not being a good father. Right. 330 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: Every kid is different, every relationship is different, every job 331 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: is different. And oh yeah, by the way, like the 332 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: thing about Tom Brady is he It wasn't like he 333 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: can go like, hey, my kids are a little older. 334 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to take this fall off and not 335 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: play football. You go and play football for a certain 336 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: amount of time. His window was wider or bigger than 337 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: it allowed him to play longer than most. But now 338 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: he'll never play football ever again. Ever. Ever, So I 339 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: would I would defend Brady from the I'm in agreement. 340 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: I think you can be both. What it takes in 341 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: order to make it work is you have to take 342 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: You have to have a spouse that is that is 343 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: committed to that exact same lifestyle to championing. Hey, when 344 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: your dad goes out to work, it's because this is 345 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: what he loves to do. And whatever you love to do, 346 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: we want you to go all in one. Maybe I'm 347 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: sharing too much, Jaystuo, But like, this is the exact 348 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: conversation I have with my ex wife last year when 349 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: I took this job. How can you take a job 350 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin? Yeah, I know. I've lived a year away 351 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: from my son. It's the hardest part of anything I've 352 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: ever done in my life. My day start, the sun 353 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: rises and SATs based upon him. My girls are in 354 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: college and they're they're they're away from me as well. 355 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: But again that's part of the kind of natural cycle 356 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: of life. Do I wish I was closer? Yeah? But 357 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: how much would I resent my son or our relationship 358 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: if I had not taken this job and never gotten 359 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: a coaching opportunity. I don't know. I don't know what 360 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: you know. Again, this is a it's a difference on perspective, 361 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: whereas I think it should be championed. Hey, you always 362 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: dreamed of something in life. You got that opportunity. It 363 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: wasn't perfect. There is no perfect there just isn't. You 364 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: do the best you can, otherwise you end up presenting 365 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: things that held you back.

It's five years since the NBA bubble. 408 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 5: What is the bubble? You say, Well, in twenty twenty, 409 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 5: we experienced a worldwide pandemic called COVID nineteen and sports 410 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 5: didn't know what the hell to do. So at some 411 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 5: point somebody came up with the idea of let's all 412 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 5: go into this very was it a clean environment? I 413 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 5: don't even know what the word is to call it, 414 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 5: but yeah, bubble, let's call it the bubble. It's in Orlando, 415 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 5: I want to say. And let's play some price this 416 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: season game Apcot Center, wasn't it. Let's play some regular 417 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 5: season games and then we'll play some playoffs and it'll 418 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 5: all be in this one sequestered area where nobody's allowed inside. 419 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 5: We're gonna play with no fans. And of course the 420 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 5: Lakers won the championship. I remember most from that whole thing, 421 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving encouraging people not to go. You know the 422 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 5: details better than I do. 423 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 3: Doug. 424 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyrie Ever hopped one a call and was like, yeah, 425 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: we we don't need to do anything for them, them 426 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: being the league basically trying to get guys to not 427 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: go to the bubble, and he did not go with 428 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, which is crazy and undermined Jock Vaughn, who 429 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: at the time was head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. 430 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: Now he's associated coach with with with Kansas. The bubble 431 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: thing is fascinating, just that that whole year is going 432 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: to be studied for years and years to come. It 433 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: has changed how we work, changed how we'd live, change 434 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: how we value time time with family. I miss a 435 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: good I missed the the the quote unquote lockdown time 436 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 1: that time. This is to your to your point, uh, 437 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: Jase Stewart earlier was it did give you unfiltered time 438 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: with your kids and what anything going on. 439 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: That was both a blessing and a curse though, Like sure, 440 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: if you had to educate your children at home and 441 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: maybe they were like three four years old or seven 442 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: eight years old, they're probably driving you nuts and you 443 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 2: were miserable. 444 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 6: I think it came at just the right time in 445 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 6: our technology too, Like I don't think most people had 446 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 6: known what zoom is before the pandemic, and so no 447 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 6: one knew it. Now I've been like, yeah, my grandmother 448 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 6: is in a nursing home and we are facetiming her 449 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 6: or zooming with her like all the time. I feel 450 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 6: like that's kind of really standardized our idea of just 451 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 6: remote talking to people. It also started a lot more 452 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 6: work from home. I mean, I know I had done 453 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 6: some remote work and other jobs in the past, but 454 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 6: this definitely was the start of I think a lot 455 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 6: of people just deciding, Hey, why do I need to 456 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 6: drive an hour into the office that I can do 457 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 6: everything from here. As you said, it really changed how 458 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 6: we kind of went through our whole society. If we 459 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 6: could go back to that sterile bubble for a moment. 460 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: The news not. 461 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 6: Really that sterile, just considering how many guys kind of 462 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 6: come in and out, Like, wasn't James Harden at Magic 463 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 6: Hear something? 464 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: Yeah? One guy didn't one guy escape? 465 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: It was like it was like the Great Escape, you know, 466 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: tunneling under the underground and popped up so he could 467 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: get out and go to Magic City. It was some 468 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: player that got busted for sneaking out to a strip club. 469 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: But I'd like to go back to this, this not 470 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: sterile bubble. The New Zealander Steven Adams, longtime NBA veteran. 471 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: I don't know how quotable he is, but I did 472 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 2: pull one drop from the Pandemic and Steven Adams when 473 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: he was talking about the living arrangements. 474 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 5: Done a bloody result. 475 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 3: We're living in a bloody result. So I love that 476 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 3: because it's just his accent and bloody result. 477 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: I mean, we're living in a bloody resort. We what 478 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: are we doing here? So that was one little clip 479 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 2: there from the Great Steven Adams. 480 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 6: It's funny you mentioned that because I right before the 481 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 6: pandemic hit, right before we all started to really learn 482 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 6: what COVID nineteen was. I was actually in Vegas for 483 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 6: what I believe was when the last weekends everything on 484 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 6: the strip was open. My dad and I went to 485 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 6: the Blaggio. We were seeing a couple shows over it 486 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 6: at Caesar's and like gambling on some it would have 487 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 6: been the college football basketball conference. 488 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 2: It was I think it was conference weekend.

No fans they were talking 543 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 6: about trying to pump in crowd noise or something. The 544 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 6: virtual fans we had like virtual fans for like NFL 545 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 6: game or something. 546 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like CI fans. 547 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 5: I was unemployed for the first time.

I 552 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 5: was a part of that production.

There's no 555 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 5: more need for virtual fans at games. I I thought, 556 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 5: I think the athletics could really use some virtual fans 557 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 5: once they moved to Vegas. I have my personal story. 558 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 5: My second personal story from twenty to twenty involved somebody 559 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 5: we loved a lot around here.

I don't know about you, guys, 615 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 5: but I associate this song most with the funeral for 616 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 5: Kobe Bryant. They played this at the services and of 617 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 5: course in twenty twenty, when we were all making our 618 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 5: way to the Super Bowl, I was at least I 619 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 5: got the news on the plane to Miami that Kobe 620 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 5: had passed. But I always remember this song. I was 621 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 5: always associated with Kobe and them playing at the funeral. 622 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was a tough traumatic time and 623 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: h full disclosure. Living in Newport Beach, my daughter had 624 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: gone to school with Gigi and basically everybody in that plane, 625 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: and her best friend was on that plane, and it 626 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: was a hard, hard time, ha hard time. 627 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 2: I was with Steve Hartman, Rich Ornberger, your former producer. 628 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 3: Gabbing the Dream, living the Dream. 629 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: I was with your former producer, Gavin Kinsell, former Update 630 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: anchor David Gaskin. We were all on the air doing 631 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: our Fox Red Zone radio show when we got word 632 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: that Kobe had perish in a helicopter crash. It was 633 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 2: just it was just it was a different world we 634 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 2: were living in in that moment, and that was just 635 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 2: a strange, heartbreaking way to start the COVID season. And 636 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 2: so we had we had Kobe kind of you know, 637 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,959 Speaker 2: his death starting just sort of this you know year 638 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: of just you know, being upended. I remember the Big 639 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 2: Ten season, like we were all they were trying to 640 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 2: figure out should we have this season? First it was 641 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 2: what canceled right Then they're like, now we can't cancel that, 642 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: We'd lose so much money. So the Big Ten started late. 643 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 2: I think they played eight games. They were supposed to, 644 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 2: you know, play ten games. 645 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: Six Iowa started Western one all of them. Day is 646 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 1: Up is down, day as night, black as white. 647 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 2: But you know what you want it, so yes, up, 648 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: up is down, days night, black is white. Iowa under 649 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 2: Brian Farrence had the third best scoring offense in the 650 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 2: Big Ten this that year. They started out the Big 651 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 2: Ten season the you know, a shorter season oh to two, 652 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 2: losing a couple of weird games, and then they ripped 653 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: off six straight wins and they were just pounding people. 654 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 2: And then they were supposed to play Michigan and they're 655 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: supposed to play Misouri a bowl game, and then unfortunately 656 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 2: those games got canceled. But I look at that offense 657 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 2: is just this weird. I don't I don't know if 658 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: it's because there's nobody in the stands, but they were 659 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 2: just pummeling people. Also, a lot of teams had COVID. 660 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 2: Wisconsin Penn State all kinds of disorder, so Iowa was 661 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 2: just pouncing on them right there. That was when the 662 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: Brian Farrens offense actually worked. It was a thing of 663 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 2: beauty that if I didn't have Iowa football that year, 664 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: I would have been just so much more depressed. 665 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 6: I think my greatest regret from that year sports wise 666 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 6: was I've been to two Olympics in my life, Atlanta 667 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 6: and Sydney. I want to go to more. I love 668 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 6: the Olympics and I had wanted to go to Japan. 669 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 6: It was my dream to go to Tokyo twenty twenty. 670 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 6: I had made a bunch of arrangements and COVID blasted 671 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 6: in the mall to smithereens. It was still going on, 672 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 6: but honestly, like I couldn't be there, there was no 673 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 6: one there. It took a lot of sale out of 674 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 6: the Olympics for me. And I was at home instead 675 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 6: of in Japan. And I was at home watching a 676 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 6: bunch of movies on streaming services because that's what we 677 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 6: were doing instead of the theaters too. It was like 678 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 6: everyone got into movies being streaming at that same time too. 679 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 3: Yes, I remember Joe. 680 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: For the Dodgers were the Dodgers win in the World 681 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: Series and it was on during Halloween. 682 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 6: I hate the Mickey Mouse talk from these years too, 683 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 6: Like just Mickey Mouse Championships, all of that. I hate 684 00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 6: that talk. 685 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: He just I think it's very different. 686 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 6: Sure, but I think we've had other shortened seasons as 687 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 6: well that just don't get the same kind. 688 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 3: Of screwed me. I feel the bloody result. I want 689 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 3: to mention one thing before we leave. 690 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 2: So Ohio State ended up and Dan's not gonna let 691 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: me bringing this up because it's probably not a great 692 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 2: memory for him. The Buckeyes, though, ended up, you know, 693 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: pulling away from Northwestern in the title game. They went 694 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 2: on to play an Alabama team thirteen to zero. They 695 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 2: played a full season pretty much. A lot of people 696 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 2: regard that Alabama team as being like Nick Saban's best 697 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 2: or one of his best, ended up pulling away from 698 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: a very very good Ohio State Buckeyes team fifty two 699 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 2: to twenty four. 700 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: And that is don't call it a cut, don't call 701 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: it a throwback Thursday. 702 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 5: Don't call it a throwback Thursday. 703 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: Where's the Doug Gottlieb Show.
