A lot 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:18.040 of luminaries, a lot of celebrities are involved. Fritzie had 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.840 a couple of no's which were surprising to Fritzie. Fritzi's 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.720 always surprised when somebody says no to him. I would 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.680 figure you'd be used to that. Your wife says that 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.160 on a daily basis. Wow. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:31.720 True, though I can't argue that. 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:32.000 Wow. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.120 But is it rude when I say what's your problem? 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:35.559 When they say I'm not gonna be able to do 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.920 that or I'm not really a bracket kind of guy 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.680 or gal, and then I say, what's your problem? 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:40.600 It just takes it for a minute. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.360 Okay, who bothered you by saying no? 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.600 I was surprised Steve Levy wouldn't do it. And I 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:48.080 love Steve. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.000 I know him back from the beginning of early nineties 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:51.479 at f AN. I thought for sure he'd do one. 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.319 But he was one of those I'm not a bracket guy, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:54.200 but thanks for asking. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:54.960 Very polite. 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:56.760 He's a hockey guy. 0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.560 Yeah, but he's sports at a anchor. He knows enough 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.800 about all sports. Is not just a hockey guy, and 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.840 a lot of we all just guess anyway, you don't have. 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.400 None of us are experts in college basketball, so it 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.679 doesn't matter what sport you're focused. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:08.759 On in life. 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.119 Why did Nick write pass soft? 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:12.560 I don't think he responded at all. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.559 So some of them, some of the ones that didn't 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.760 send one either didn't respond at all. A few of 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.240 them said, I just said it's not my thing, or 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:20.720 if I have time, I'll see what I can do. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.720 Are we getting to where Nick Wright only responds to you? 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:25.000 Dan? 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:26.360 Hm? 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.520 He might be doing that move now. You guys are 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.000 like that close that he's like. I don't really go 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:32.600 through Todd. If Dan asked me, I. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.120 Didn't give him a watch or anything. I didn't take 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:34.679 Hi out to dinner. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:41.440 So maybe Yeah, Alex Ovechkin is in. Adam Sandler's in again. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.680 No for Will Ferrell, what happened. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.840 I think Chrissy was busy or something like that. 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:46.920 Busy. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.600 I got another one that was surprising, But there must 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.240 be a reason why he just couldn't get it. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.320 Takes five minutes. You're better than that, Brian Cranston's back 0:01:55.320 --> 0:02:01.080 in again, Josh Dumel, Dreamy Josh Dumel, Jim Parsons, Rebecca Lowe, 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.640 from NBC's coverage of the Premier League, Joey Vado, George 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.800 Bretts involved no response from Jennifer Lawrence. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.200 That hurt a lot. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.600 I didn't want to bring that one up, but thought 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.840 I'll get at least a polite no thank you, because 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.000 if we've reached out to some big time movie stars 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.320 and the publicist will get around to saying, you know, 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.320 thanks for thinking of him or her, but that's not 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.200 their thing, but their you know, filming in Europe somewhere, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.320 and they just can't get it done. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.840 Rob Low, no with Rob Low, Paul Rudd Snoop Dogg, 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.560 ice Cube.

Maybe if Paulie had reached out then 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.960 he would have said, sure, I will for you again. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.480 A lot of them were, you know, no response as 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.200 opposed to I don't want to do it or I 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.000 can't be bothered. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.720 Uh. Carissa Thompson, not even a response. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:51.680 Hurt feelings. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:56.440 They're gone on. Saquon Barkley, all the things. All we've 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.840 done for Saquon Barkley and he can't fill out a bracket. Wow, 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.760 Nick Wright, Don maddingly Drew Breese. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.440 This is where we have to shame everybody that we're 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:06.760 invited in our participating. 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.920 That's what happens, That's what we're doing right now, Todd, 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:14.200 I know Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick didn't even respond. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.760 We saw something the other day on the X on 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.760 the Twitter whatever the kids are calling it these days, saying, hey, 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.360 you know any cool bracket challenges I can get into? 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.120 And we reached out to North Carolina Sports Information. They 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:24.880 said they'd run. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.520 It by him, but did not get a chill. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.280 Maybe he's busy on the beach. Maybe he's doing whatever 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.240 he was doing on the beach with his girlfriend. Maybe 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.880 she could have filled out a bracket. Yeah, we should 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.400 have asked. His partner has to go through, right, Why 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:39.360 didn't you ask her? 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.320 How's mistake? Everything goes through. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.360 Our She has to be surprised you wouldn't go through 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.440 the woman to get to the man. 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.000 Hearepoint, all right. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.880 I don't see any local news anchors, nobody from NBC News. 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:57.120 There's usually a reporter in there, maybe a weather forecaster. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:01.400 Shout out Alssa, Ray Tagli and Hard the Frank Rachel, 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.200 Frank Xer Fox just blew it. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:05.480 I don't even know her name. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:06.520 You blew it? 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:06.840 Well? 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.320 Yeah, I watch a lot of Fox sixty one Connecticut. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.160 Dang, yeah, you do watch. I don't think you listen, 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:13.920 but you do watch. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:15.480 I know I have no idea what the news is 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:16.400 or what weather's coming. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.279 But uh, how often do you hear back from these 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.240 people you reach out to? Have you heard back from 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:22.880 these women? 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.839 It's really hit or miss. It's really a coin flip. 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.000 But you make the effort and see what happens. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.880 Alpine skiing legend Lindsay Vaughn goes to Sun Valley, Idaho 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.240 the Steefel Sun Valley Finals Saturday and Sunday one East 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.640 And have you reached out to Lindsay Vaughn? Did you 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:43.760 read it? Reach out to Lindsay. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.680 We did invite Linda von She wasn't able to join us, 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.280 but maybe at at a later date. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:49.200 But we did ask her at. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.120 A later date like this, like a later date like 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.360 around the Sweet sixteen. She's going to join us in 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:55.480 philadel Bruh somewhere. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:56.560 Between the Sweet six and the Elite eight. 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.400 I thought you meant in general, you meant for the 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.480 specific for the bracketchise where you're not invited for the 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:01.159 Bank of Challenge. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.000 We invited to be a guest on the show. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.120 All right, final hour of the program coming up. The 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.440 Celtics have been sold for over six billion dollars. I 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.719 don't know what that means for the Celtics other than 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.360 somebody had that kind of money and decided to buy 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.919 the Celtics. I knew that they were up for sale, 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.520 at least a portion or up was up for sale. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.640 But the Boston Celtics for over six billion dollars? Is 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:30.679 that the highest price for a North American team? Six? 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.200 Now I'm not talking about the value, but what somebody 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:39.880 paid for a a franchise, because it felt like the 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:44.359 Washington Commanders were tops on that list. But they blew 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.880 by that with because that was around four and a 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.880 half billion maybe, and the Celtics going for a little 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.640 over six billion dollars. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.679 Yes, the Washington Commanders recently went for just a tick 0:05:55.800 --> 0:06:01.919 over six billion. So this supposedly beats that. The prices 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.160 have really drastically gone up in the past fifteen years. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:10.760 For example, the Dodgers in twenty twelve were two billion, 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.240 which seems like a drastic bargain. 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:19.080 Now, yeah wow, yeah, yeah, Well they certainly put the 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.800 money back into that franchise, that's for sure, all right. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.520 Eight seven seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.200 Twitter handle at DP show. Got basketball coming up later 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.520 on today and tonight. Xavier advances. They were down thirteen. 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.160 They advanced. Mount Saint Mary's beats American Houston, Auburn, Tennessee. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.119 Saint John's among the teams that will be in action 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.920 later on today. And today I was watching Luka Doncic 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.800 and the Lakers. They beat the Nuggets. The Nuggets sat 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.120 out Jamal Murray and the Joker. Luca had twenty one 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.440 of his thirty one in the first quarter. Lakers had 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.920 forty six in the first quarter. Paulie brought this up 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.880 a while ago when Lebron James got hurt, and he said, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.040 I think this is a good thing because this will 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.600 allow Lebron to be able to sit out. It's a 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.040 good thing that he'll be able to rest. Now you 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:18.200 can hopefully hold on to your playoff spot or not 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.880 fall too far down or get into the play in situation. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.080 Then all of a sudden. A couple analysts said yesterday 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.760 that you know, this could be a good thing for 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.200 the Lakers because Lebron will be resting. You have players 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.360 who are sitting down now, you have jokers been sitting out. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.000 Jamal Murray's been sitting out the Thunder. I think sat 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.080 out just about every one of their starters in a 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.920 game last night or the day before. But you're going 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.360 to get this load management where I don't think you're 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.320 going to raise suspicion with the NBA where the Lakers 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.320 are going to get fined that you know, Lebron hasn't 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.640 been back, but this could be great. This could be 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.600 something that he gets rested healthy. Err And you just 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.080 hope that this doesn't come back once you get to 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.240 the playoffs. But the Lakers, you know it's about seating. 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.120 But if you're the Lakers, can you stay in the 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.520 top four, I'd say, you know that's your sweet spot here. Yes, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:14.760 Marvin Well. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.600 They're only saying that now about Lebron because they won 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.760 three straight games. But when they lost the previous three, I. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:20.840 Was like, yeah, he better get back. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.480 You better get back sooner than later. But it seems 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.480 easier when you lose when you went through straight games. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.960 But also what this does it allows other players like 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.880 Austin Reeves Dalton Connect. Like now you're saying you take 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.000 on more of a load that that's what you want, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.839 because when you get into the postseason, you may be 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.480 relying on them to be your third score, your second score, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.640 and to be able to get those You know, all 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.320 you want to do is be able to show get 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.920 me the ball. Austin Reeves shows that he can get 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.600 thirty points, Dalton Connect can get twenty points. That's what 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.520 you want. You want the threat of that guy. If 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.160 all else fails, or somebody gets injured, somebody gets in 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.040 foul trouble, they can help you. They can step up. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.720 Great teams have that player or players who when they 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.959 get a chance, they step like Derek White. You give 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.680 him an opportunity. He's not the first option or the 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.280 second option, but he can step up in a big way. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.560 Yes, Mark, every single playoffs, there's got to be a 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.560 guy where it's like Bruce Brown, where do you go 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.880 to college? You gotta have a guy like that that 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.319 has a big game for in the Western Conference Finals 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.720 that you never heard of until Game four. The Western 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:28.960 Conference finals. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.760 Gabe Vincent, you know where you're saying, who is this guy? 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.760 You know the Spurs always had that, They're always it 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.800 felt like there was a guy who was going to 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.760 be able to come in and give you some some 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.920 minutes there. Stat of the Day brought to you by 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.000 Panini America. The official trading cards of the program and 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.400 the bracket challenge is on Fox Sports Radio dot com. 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.520 We talked a lot about North Carolina. Do they deserve 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.160 to be in? I think you got to look at 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.920 the name on the front of the jersey. I do 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.720 think that factor's in. I think it factors in in 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.000 this sport, this time of the year, and probably played 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.600 a little bit of a role in this. I have 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.520 a source, an NC DOUBLEA source not with the NC 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.640 double A who sent a note to me this morning. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.640 I have no dog in the fight, but North Carolina's 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.880 inclusion in this year's field is, by a large margin, 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:26.120 the most inappropriate single decision in decades of the selection process. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.240 He goes on to say that yes, North Carolina can 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.280 compete in the tournament, but that has nothing to do 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.920 with the committee. The committee has to look at what 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.520 North Carolina has done, not what they can do. He 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.720 goes on to say, Tuesday night's result doesn't demonstrate North 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.880 Carolina should have been included in any way. Of course 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.800 they can compete, perhaps get on a role. Goes on 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.959 to say, there's no logical base which North Carolina should 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.480 be in this year's field. My source goes on to say, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.520 on the basis of the criteria and the process, North 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.960 Carolina it should not have been in the field. And 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:06.200 the committee's confusing messages and failure to adhere to the 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.800 plan and process that it crafts and agrees to follow 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.800 will set scheduling in college basketball and how schools respond 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:20.400 back several years. So that's a powerful statement here that 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.800 it's the most inappropriate single decision in decades of the 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.960 selection process. So that's a source that I have with 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.559 college athletics. But North Carolina may go on a role. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.760 Jim Beheim yesterday loves North Carolina. It's kind of a 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.280 dark orse sleeper team. I get it. And it's not 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.880 to say they don't have talent. And yes, losing two 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.280 of your last three games to Duke, and they lost 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.320 their other game was to Clemson, a team in the tournament. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.960 But if they got blown out by Duke, by twenty one. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.520 I don't think they get in the tournament. They came 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.200 back and they had a chain still win, that's it. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.200 If they get blown out, there'd be no way you 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.760 could put them in the tournament. Do I think that 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.640 the head of the committee, who is the athletic director 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.640 at North Carolina was playing favorites here. Well, I'm sure 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.559 he wants to get his school in. But just because 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.640 he got a one hundred thousand dollars bonus for North 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.559 Carolina getting in, I don't think you risk your reputation, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.080 your job to go, Hey, I'd love to get one 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.000 hundred thousand dollars, We'll get North Carolina in. I mean, 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.839 you don't want to take away the credibility of the 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.679 committee that you oversee. I just I don't think the 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:39.440 committee stayed with what their process was. So but I 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.040 couldn't care less If Carolina is in, great, If they're 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.880 not in, I couldn't care less. 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.440 Yes, point, I have a theory about this with the 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.160 College Basketball Playoffs, the NCATE Tournament committee that just happened 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.880 with North Carolina and going back to remember last year, 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.280 last year, last year with Flora stake Itt and Hose 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.720 and the college Football Playoff Committee. I think these committees think, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.360 you know what, if we do this, we're gonna get 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.640 ripped for a couple of days. We're gonna get lit 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.760 up for a couple of days and critique. But it 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.760 provides content, even argument content, And no one in that 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.360 room is getting rid of the head of the nca 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.680 Basketball Committee or the College FOOTBA Committe because they're all 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.760 in it together. You know, they're all getting paid, they're 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.880 going on trips, they're all doing these things. And if 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.520 they themselves, we'll take the heat for a few days. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.400 But putting UNC in as opposed to putting in a 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.120 more deserving team, that doesn't help anybody in this room 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:27.880 and all our friends who got us here. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.520 I would be shocked if that was their logic. Oh, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:33.679 I'd be shocked. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.400 But they know going into that room that UNC was 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.559 not worthy based off resume to make it, and they 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.480 put them in any way, And so I think their 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.680 logic is, you know what, batton down the hatches. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.920 We're doing this. I don't know how many people are going, Oh, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.720 I gotta watch North Carolina if this was the college 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.360 football playoffs, I understand that where you go, Hey, we 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.600 got Florida State or Notre Dame, and you will lean 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.520 towards Notre Dame because it's Notre Dame and they're going 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.000 to be give you a bigger rate. This is at 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.480 the bottom. This is at the bottom of the barrel 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.640 of teams getting in. I don't think you want to 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.559 risk anything where you gotta get How do we get 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.640 Carolina in? I don't know. We come up with some 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:16.400 metrics here, we disavowant a knowledge of these other metrics. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.760 I just I can't imagine. I would love to have 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.960 a reporter who's in there to listen to this and 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.720 help us understand what goes on. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.840 Yes, Marvin, but isn't that a tradition every year that 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.200 somebody's gonna complain that they didn't get to the tournament 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.000 because there's about seven eight other teams that have basically 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.120 the same resume. You guys all got thirteen fourteen lawsuits, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.800 So it's the same thing every year anyway. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:44.640 Yeah, Indiana, Ohio State, they can have an argument here, yeah, seton. Yeah. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:49.080 I mean it's a TV show, right, and North Carolina 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.480 is a brand, so you're gonna put in your strongest brands. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.320 I don't think it's that. I get that you might 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.200 factor that in. It just can't be the we have 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.000 to somehow get if it was Duke, that's different. There's 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.160 only a couple of schools where you go teams are 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.560 you know, people are going to watch those teams play, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.760 either to watch them win or watch them lose. Carolina's 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:12.680 not polarizing. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.840 Yes, is North Carolina not on that list of teams. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.400 They're not up there with the UCLA's, the Kentucky's, the Dukes. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.560 Well, they are, they have been. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:23.240 They looked at it. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.640 Indiana, Indiana was up there too. I mean they become 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:34.520 a football school. But do you go out of your 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.520 way to put North Carolina in? Out of your way? 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.840 No, okay, it's not like they went over a team 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.240 that went twenty three and nine. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.200 No, I don't think anybody got jobbed here. I don't 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.880 think North Carolina deserve to be in. But if you 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.640 put him in, Okay, if you put Indiana in, if 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.360 you're not firing Indiana's head coach, does he get in? 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.360 Do they get in because Mike Woodson got fired? 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:00.320 Don't know? 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.760 Now, Ohio State, Boise State, there are other schools that 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.480 can make an argument. But I mean Ohio State, Indiana 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.800 aren't the blue blood that Carolina is. Indiana used to be. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.880 Ohio State has been sporadic there, But I am I 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.040 would be shocked if the committee would be like, let's 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:23.920 somehow get Carolina in. I would poll question for the 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.120 final hour of the program is going to be watched. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:31.480 Seaton o' connor is going to be hot. Let me 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.480 see what I just put up there. We had this 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.920 one from Paul. If you had the funds, you would 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:41.080 buy a basketball team, baseball team, football team, hockey team. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.240 I threw in a soccer team because that's what I do. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:49.640 Of course you do. Yeah, I'm taking I'm going to 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.480 take soccer off of it because it feels like, aren't 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.840 they worth more money? Some of these are their soccer 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.359 teams worth more than the Cowboys. 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.160 It's a similar neighborhood like else I think was five 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.119 point three billion when they sold, so very similar neighborhood 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:05.560 to NBA and NFL team. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.040 But I don't know if it necessarily like like I 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.480 would even buy a cheap soccer team, like well cheap, 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.600 you know, relatively whatever I would. I was taking it 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.320 more as what sport would you like to own a team? 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.679 In not what team are you going to make the 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:20.520 most money off of? 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:26.720 Oh, okay, I would do NFL. It still feels like 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.159 when you walk into a room and your owner of 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.919 We tend to know the owners of NFL teams a 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.880 little bit more than we do in other sports. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.160 Yeah, pull, I think I go Major League Baseball. I'd 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.600 like to spend more time outside eighty plus home games. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:44.919 No, it's way too many games to go to. But 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:46.359 you have to go to all these games? Do you 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:47.399 have to go to all those games? 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:47.840 Yeah? 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.280 Well it helps, But like football, all right, I got 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.000 seventeen games to go to. I'm pretty good with that. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:55.800 But in football, I think as an owner, I don't 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.159 know if you could sit in a seat outside with 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.200 the civilians, I don't. I have never seen a own 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:00.560 to do so. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.359 I'd rather sit in a suite. But they do have 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.520 those suites that have the indoor outdoor. That's the least 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.240 of my worries. Baseball. Can you imagine being the Oakland 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.920 A's owner and going to eighty one of those games 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:19.080 and you're just going, oh, this is death. Like if 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.080 you're the Yankees of the Dodgers ownership, I mean you're like, yeah, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.520 I'm gonna sit right there behind a home plate. This 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:30.640 is great, but I think I'd rather own an NFL team. 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.960 Yes, Todd, I fact, the GM has to be there 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:34.879 as much as possible. But the owner can we win 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.040 at that? He's out in his yacht, he's paying all 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:38.760 the bills. Is you need to be seen as much 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.480 as possible, especially for a season that's got eighty one 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:42.119 home games. 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.960 Possibly, if you're an NFL owner, you're there. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.880 That's not a well, you have no excuse because there's 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:48.679 hardly any games. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:50.399 All you have to do is show up for the 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.640 home games and then show up for a playoff game. 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.160 All right, we'll talk some more basketball. More phone calls 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:56.760 coming up, take a break back after this. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.920 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.399 the nation.
