Jason Stewart's our executive producer. 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 3: Iowa Sam our technical producer. And I thought Manzie Milano's 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 3: at the news desk was just a leading with the 14 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 3: Luis or Ties story earlier so she could flex her 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 3: Luis or Tis pronunciation. However, Aaron, when I saw this pitch, 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, did you see this Luis Ortiz pitch? 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: No, that is under investigation. I'm gonna look it up 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: right now. 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: The one thing I will say, I don't totally know 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: what those integrity groups do, but I know that they 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: are like they're unbelievable with the things that they can uncover. 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 2: And when you hear that one of the integrity firms 23 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: is involved, uh yeah, you probably did something and you're 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: gonna get in a lot of trouble for it. 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 3: So MANSI, I. 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: Know that you've oh, I see it now, but going okay. 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: Hey, there's the one against the Mariners that is kind 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 3: of like, okay, the one against the Cardinals. My goodness, 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 3: like this thing it it one hopped. It one hopped 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: about fifty two feet from the pitcher's mound. It was 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: I mean it was it was like halfway to the plate. 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: Like it wasn't even close. So there's a reason why 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball needs to needs to investigate. 34 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: This would be like this would be like I need 35 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: to get fired from Fox Sports Radio because of XYZ. 36 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it to lead hour two and then 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 2: you're just like, Aaron, how are you? And then I 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: just rip off like eight straight expletives in a row. 39 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: Now it's like, okay, now we have to fire them. 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: It's like okay, Yeah, it's not a perfect analogy, but 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: if you were betting on yourself to throw a ball, 42 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't get much more of a ball than that 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: one right there. 44 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: People think the Malik Beasley late bucket to cover the 45 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: spread was obvious. This is one hundred times worse like 46 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 3: this is. It's just I get it now, I absolutely 47 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: get it. I thought it was another case of like, 48 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 3: all right, whatever, this thing wasn't even close because the 49 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: bet was apparently on a first pitch strike, you could 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: throw it anywhere. He could throw it to the moon, 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: and Luis Ortiz may have tried to. It felt like 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 3: he tried to throw it to the core of the earth, 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: like that's how far short came from home plate. But 54 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: that's what major League Baseball is looking into. And Luis Ortiz, 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: if that's any evidence, I think is going to be 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: missing some more time in Major League Baseball than just 57 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: the leave that he was placed on today. Welcome in. 58 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: It is Caveno or Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. 59 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find 60 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: the right tires for how, what and where they drive. 61 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: Ship fast and free back by free road has in 62 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tireraq 63 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: dot Com the way tire buying should be. It's crazy 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: to think, but next week is actually the start of 65 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: the college football season. And I say that because you 66 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: know it, But for those of you that don't know, 67 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: media days starting up. Big twelve has their media availabilities 68 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: starting on Tuesday of next week. The SEC will follow 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: in the following week, and then the Big Ten will 70 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: have theirs later on in the month of July in 71 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: Las Vegas. Same thing with the ACC. But next week 72 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: we're going to be talking college football. And yesterday on 73 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio on The Doug Gottlieb Show, executive producer 74 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: Jason Stewart, who's hanging out with us, brought up the 75 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: topic of the midway and what we were looking forward 76 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: to for the rest of the season, for the rest 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: of the year, excuse me, and Aaron, I said something 78 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: in there about college football because I feel that there's 79 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: not a lot of buzz with college football entering this season, 80 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: and I think one of the reasons is because there's 81 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 3: no Nick Saban. And I realized now how much college 82 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: football missus Saban being in the game. And I think 83 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: last year we felt, well, Alabama is still Alabama. How 84 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: are they going to respond without Saban? I didn't believe 85 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: that Alabama was still Alabama. And it showed last year 86 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 3: and now we enter this year and I don't think 87 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 3: Alabama is a part of any major conversation when talking 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: about college football. And when we're talking about college football, 89 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: we're talking about Arch Manning, We're talking about Penn State 90 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: and maybe little Ohio State, a little of Ohio State, 91 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: and what can Dion do now in Colorado. Outside of that, 92 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: I know, conference wise, there's gonna be stuff, but on 93 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: a national scale, I don't think that there's a ton 94 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: for people to latch onto right now. And I think 95 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: part of the reason is because a figure like Nick 96 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: Saban and what he meant to Alabama is no longer 97 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 3: in the game. And I feel that college football we're 98 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: really feeling the effects of no Nick Saban in the game. 99 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: So two quick thoughts, because I know you want to 100 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: open it up to the group. One. 101 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: First of all, even with the Arch Manning stuff, it 102 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: felt that did this week feel a little manufactured too? 103 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: Like it was just nobody there's nothing to talk about. Oh, 104 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: let's get Paul Finebaum on and have him say something crazy. 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: And that was where he said, Oh, I think arch 106 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: is gonna be the best quarterback since Tim Tebow, And 107 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: then it just became a talking point and it didn't 108 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: feel to me. It didn't feel organic. It felt like 109 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 2: we need somebody to say something crazy so we have 110 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: something to talk about. And I don't even think even 111 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: with Arch it's as big as I think. I think 112 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: a lot of people are intrigued, but I don't think 113 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: it's as big as people think. The other thing too, 114 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 2: Dan that I'm gonna say, and I do think Saban 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: is a big part of why there's no buzz. I 116 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: am gonna say something extremely unpopular, but I truly believe it. 117 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: I think part of the reason there's no buzz is 118 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: because individual games do not matter as much anymore, and 119 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: so it's like, yeah, Ohio State Texas. 120 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: Is gonna be really cool, but either of. 121 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: Those teams can lose, and it's like whatever, and I 122 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: it's a broader conversation for another day. You and I 123 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 2: will probably be filling in at some point and we 124 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: can dive into this. But like, what made college football 125 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: college football was that every single Saturday mattered every single year, 126 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: and that just in the case anymore. So it's like, yeah, 127 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: we can be excited for Ohio State Texas, but ultimately 128 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: it doesn't have the stakes that it would have even two, three, 129 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: four years ago, And I think that's part of. 130 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: It as well. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that's 131 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: part of it as well. 132 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: The only pushback that I would give to that is 133 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: last year July third, we were not looking forward to 134 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: an Indiana Ohio state game, and then Indiana does what 135 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: they do and all of a sudden, that becomes quite 136 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: the matchup. 137 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: Oh. 138 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: I'm not saying there's not individual games that matter over 139 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: the course of the year. 140 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: I do think that. 141 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: And by the way, it actually didn't end up mattering 142 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: because both teams made the playoffs. 143 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: Sure, so with the lead up to it, there was 144 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: there was hype. 145 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and there was there was hype in the 146 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: lead up to a lot of games. But I just 147 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: think that I don't know, it's just it's just I 148 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: don't want to say it's like again, I think individual 149 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: fan bases like, yeah, you're excited about your team and 150 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: you're worried about this, and you're this and that. 151 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: But as a sport, I think it's harder to. 152 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: Like on a week two week basis, feel as invested 153 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: when you know the games don't mean as much. And 154 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, and 155 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: I'm still listen. I'm still excited about Clem's in LSU 156 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: in week one. I'm still excited about Michigan and Oklahoma 157 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: early in the year, certainly Texas, Ohio State, But I 158 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: just I think that's part of it too, is everybody 159 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: knows that any individual result doesn't matter the way that 160 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: it did two years ago, and I think that's part 161 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: of why there's probably not as much exciting. 162 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: It will be interesting to see the ramifications, especially with 163 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: Ohio State losing to Michigan and then winning the national championship. 164 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 3: Does that happen in other scenarios as well? Does that 165 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: happen in an Iron Bowl? You know? Does that? You know? 166 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: Does that happen in an Oregon Washington match up? You 167 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 3: know those sort of things where your team loses and 168 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 3: then you go on to win and you have those 169 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: fan bases bickering over it. But I get what you're saying. 170 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: I think that the lack of having an Alabama there 171 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: is telling. I felt that Lebron James should have we 172 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: retired two years ago to allow the NBA to breathe, 173 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: But at some point I think that the league will 174 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 3: miss him, sure, And so that's kind of so with 175 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: college football. We had great coaches and Dabo's still at 176 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: Clemson with the national championship, but Jim Harbaugh's left Urban 177 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: Myers no longer coaching. But I think Saban still brought 178 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: it with just who he is and what Alabama is, 179 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 3: So it's not equal to everyone else. And I look 180 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: at the NFL. I don't even know if we miss 181 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: anybody from the NFL. I can tell you that we 182 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: actually we didn't miss Ben Roethlisberger. We didn't miss Philip Rivers, 183 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: we didn't miss Drew Brees. We probably didn't miss Peyton 184 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: Manning because Tom Brady just kept on playing. So if 185 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: there was any point of years past that we wanted 186 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: to carry on, it was just latched on to Brady 187 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 3: that we're like, okay, well at least Brady's still here 188 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: to keep things normal. Then Brady leaves and there wasn't 189 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 3: as much of a shock. And I don't know if 190 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: it's because Aaron Rodgers was still there, or Patrick Mahomes 191 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: has done what he's done, or Lamar Jackson and Josh 192 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: Allen have emerged, but I feel that's all part of it, 193 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: and that's what I find like so interesting is just 194 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: because you're great and you're like a massive star when 195 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: you leave, it doesn't necessarily translate into you actually being missed. 196 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: And we were just talking about Caitlyn Clark, and I'm 197 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: sorry for as much as growth as the women's game has, 198 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 3: I think we felt that college basketball did not. Women's 199 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 3: college basketball last year did not have the same oomph 200 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: as it did than when Kitlyn Clark was there the 201 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 3: last two years. And so technically in women's college basketball, 202 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: you can name all the players that they had and 203 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: what Yukon did, but it still wasn't necessarily the same. 204 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: And I think ratings proved that that sport missed Caitlin Clark. 205 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: I'm not sure every sport take away their superstar actually 206 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: misses their superstar. 207 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: No, And I think it's a great point on the 208 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: NFL too, and I think it's obvious, but it is 209 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: such a unique like I think it's such a unique 210 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: business and enterprise in that it's one of the biggest 211 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: businesses that we have in America, and it continues to 212 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: find ways to grow, continues to find ways to be relevant. 213 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: And you know, if I can bring it back to 214 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: college football for a second, like, That's what I find 215 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: very interesting about the state of college football is I 216 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 2: think we're increasingly going to it's just a minor league 217 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: for the NFL from the perspective of expanded playoff, regular 218 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: season doesn't matter as much, players getting paid, all of that. 219 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: But the thing that makes the NFL the NFL, and 220 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: I think part of it is the juice angle that 221 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: you're talking about. The NFL finds ways to make you 222 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: care about the NFL in February and March with free 223 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 2: eight obviously February, but Arch with free agency, April with 224 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: the draft, May with the schedule release. And I know 225 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: this isn't necessarily a compare and the NFL to college football, 226 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: but I think that's where college football, and to the 227 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: point that you're making about there not being a lot 228 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: of buzz going into this season, I think that's where 229 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: college football you can't just keep expanding, expanding, expanding, expanding. 230 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: You have to make people care in other ways. And 231 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: I'll just I know it's not the focal point of 232 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: what we're talking about, but I just think it's an 233 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: interesting conversation that college football, in the growth that they've 234 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: experienced in expansion and paying players and all of the 235 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: things that have happened. I don't think they factored that 236 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: part in. And that's what the NFL does better than 237 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: everybody else. 238 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, major League Baseball for so long 239 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: was kind of looking for that star. Like I I 240 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: felt major League Baseball missed Derek Jeter when he retired, 241 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 3: Like I don't think it, you know, when a Rod 242 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: had his issues, Like there are other greats from that era, 243 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: but I felt and out bringing Jason or or Monci 244 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 3: in this and just because they're baseball heads, like I 245 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: felt something was missing from baseball when Jeter left, because 246 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 3: he's the captain, he's the Yankees, he's that generation that 247 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: we watched for so long and tied to, and then 248 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 3: there was nobody there in Major League Baseball to immediately 249 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: pick up or carry that torch. Did any of you 250 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: guys feel the same when Jeter retired a decade ago. 251 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's a fair statement. I feel like, 252 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 5: especially seeing the stars right now in baseball because there's 253 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: so many right now, I feel that people tune in 254 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 5: to watch and I think there was like a lull. 255 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 6: Where, yeah, like it was like, uh, who am I 256 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 6: going to tune in? 257 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: To watch well. 258 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: And it wasn't just Jeter, it was Jeter was a 259 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: metaphor for like that era of the Yankees where it 260 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: was like, you know, it was the cliche, but it 261 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: was true whether you loved him or whether you hated him. 262 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: They were pretty much in the World Series every year, 263 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: and you were watching him, and you were watching the 264 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: root for him, watching him and root against him. And 265 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: I think Jeter was a metaphor for that era. And 266 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: then when he was gone, it was like, oh, that 267 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: era is officially over. 268 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 3: I think that when you look at tennis and we're 269 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 3: just saying it right now, by the way, that my 270 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: way Derek Jeter commercial that they did, I think it 271 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: was gatorade like in this final year, like like I'm 272 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: you know, cutting onions, you know, chopping up onions and 273 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: watching it. I didn't care about the Yankees at all, 274 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: was never a Yankees fan, but like watching that, you know, 275 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 3: plus he's a Michigan guy, you know, like like I 276 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: have no reason to like Derek Jeter whatsoever, But seeing that, 277 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, geez man, why you know, what's 278 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: up with the pollen man? This is crazy. 279 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: In tennis, I'll say this the trio of the Federer. 280 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: Nadal, Djokovic that we've had and become accustomed to, we 281 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: only have thirty three percent. Djokovic is still playing now 282 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: Federer and Nadala moved on. Serena Williams was women's tennis 283 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: for two decades and now I you know, we're talking 284 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: cocoa golf here and there. She's one of the many 285 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: that are out Madison Keyes's you know, just it was 286 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: Serena and during that time when you watched, you either 287 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: Serena was playing or you weren't paying attention. And so 288 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 3: like that's the level that I go to. That may 289 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: be the like the super extreme, but I think like 290 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: with even like the newer Carlos al Karez and Yannick Sinner, 291 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: who people are becoming more accustomed to, and with Djokovic 292 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: still playing, has really softened the loss of Federer and Naidal, 293 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: But there's been nothing to take the spot of Serena Williams, 294 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: and I don't think there there really ever will be 295 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: in women's tennis. But that's that's like one where I say, like, wow, 296 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: I truly miss because every summer we're waiting every other 297 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: day for Serena to play or even Venus for that matter, 298 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: but specifically Serena and I think that was that's a 299 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: big miss that we have in sports. 300 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Dan, obviously, you know 301 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: Kylee oops, guy whatever. I don't really feel like Duke 302 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: is as hateable without coach K. John Shire really has 303 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: no opinion or no personality. I'll actually say this, like 304 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: being at the final four him this year, he actually 305 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: seems like a genuinely nice human being. 306 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about Kershaw earlier. 307 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: It's like with Shire, it was like, and it was 308 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: funny because I said he's the anti JJ Reddick, Like 309 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: basically nothing was about him. Everything was about how great 310 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: his coaching staff was, his players. 311 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: Were, the player's parents were. I owe it all to them. 312 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: Da da da da da. 313 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, college hoops is a niche sport, 314 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: but so is tennis, so is whatever. And I do 315 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: feel like Duke is less hateable and because they're less hateable, 316 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: less interesting without coach K. 317 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 3: Jason Stewart's our executive producer. 318 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 4: I was thinking the exact same thing. Aaron and I 319 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: come at it from completely different ways, Like he is 320 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: fully involved in the sport and I'm as casual as 321 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: you could be. So from my perspective, I have felt 322 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: that the last couple tournaments. I've felt the last two marches, 323 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: I have well that there's just there's no there there 324 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 4: sure so it was like either you were counting all 325 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: of Coach K's accolades or you were rooting against Duke. 326 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 4: But there was just something tangible, something memorable about those 327 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 4: And I totally agree. 328 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: Yes, I was gonna say, I'm like, on a certain level, 329 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 3: Jim Beheim at Syracuse and and like of that, but 330 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 3: not like Syracuse is so like far off the map, 331 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: like I don't I don't even remember any highlight from 332 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: any game at the Carrier Dome this past season, like none, 333 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: Like I don't remember it ever being spotlighted. But I 334 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 3: also think like with the absence and you're you're, you're 335 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: both right on Coach K. I also think it's helped 336 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 3: Tom Izzo's profile because he and I guess Mark few 337 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: if you want to, but it's still not you know, 338 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: ISO's Iszo I feel is the last him and Bill 339 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 3: Sealf and Mark view of the last ones. But I 340 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 3: think it's really helped Izzo of being that old guy 341 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 3: because of the showdowns that he had with Coach K 342 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 3: and Roy Williams and others. But I feel like Izzo 343 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 3: has kind of benefited from us missing a guy like 344 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: Coach K. You know. 345 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: I think it's a great point, and I think he 346 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 2: was the one. I mean, he was as vocal as 347 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 2: any of them about, hey, you know, this portal thing's 348 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: kind of out of control, this nil thing. If we 349 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: thought about how we're gonna do it, and I think 350 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: the other guys and like, listen, I know it's easy 351 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: to just like bash. Like I understand Coach K is 352 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 2: like seventy three years old. He's like, I don't want 353 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 2: to just figure out anil Like, okay, so one day 354 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: we go from we can't pay players and we'll be 355 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 2: fired if we do to. There's literally no rules on 356 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: how much we can pay them. Like, So I don't 357 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: blame Coach K or Roy Williams or whatever for just saying, 358 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: you know what, I'll let somebody else figure this out. 359 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: I'm in my seventies. But I do think it does 360 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: give tom Izzo some cachet of like, oh crap, like 361 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: we watched him last year, you know. And again, if 362 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: you're not a diehard, you don't remember all the details, 363 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: but they won the Big Ten regular season. They went 364 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: to the Elite in the Elite eight, they lost to 365 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 2: the only team that was better. 366 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: You know, they lost. 367 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: They were as a two seed, they lost to a 368 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: one seed, and it's like, oh, Izzo still got the goods. 369 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: And I do think like, it's not like you move 370 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 2: him up in all time list because he's figured it out. 371 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: But I think it's pretty cool that. 372 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 2: You know, some guys just kind of punted on this 373 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: era un said I'll never figure it out, and he 374 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: was one that he's kind of doing it the same way. 375 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: He doesn't take a lot of transfers, he doesn't have 376 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: a team that shoots forty three is a game, and 377 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: it's like, oh, tom Izzo, there he has another Big 378 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 2: Ten championship. 379 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: You know, who do you think or who do you 380 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: feel that you miss in sports?

Championship, yeah it's. 690 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: Funny listen The lakers to their. Credit, listen they move the, 691 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 2: needle they, do they. Matter more people care about The 692 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: lakers than any OTHER nba. Franchise, okay that doesn't mean 693 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 2: that we have to pretend that things that aren't true are. 694 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 2: True and it's just, like you, know even you go 695 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 2: back to last, Year luca gets. Traded it's this wild 696 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: moment that none of us had anticipated, whatever and then 697 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 2: it immediately defaults To, wow The lakers are they got 698 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: to be the favorites, now, Right and it's, like wait a, 699 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 2: second we got, uh we got a forty year old. 700 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 2: Superstar we have a second superstar coming off injury who's 701 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: clearly out of. Shape no rim, protection no. Defense they're 702 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: actually not a contender at. All, NOW i didn't think 703 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: they were gonna lose necessarily in five games in the 704 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 2: opening round of the, playoffs but it doesn't change the 705 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: fact that everything gets blown up because it's The. Lakers 706 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 2: and so some of the discourse On DeAndre Ay in 707 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: as if part of the reason he was available was 708 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 2: because he wasn't just because he wasn't disappointing as a 709 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 2: member of The Portland trailblazers is. Preposterous did they need? 710 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: Size? Yes Is DeAndre? Inserviceable? 711 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 2: Yes to your, point is he going to be the 712 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 2: difference between them getting out of either the first round 713 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 2: or wherever that you think that they should be and 714 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: where they were to end last, Season, no he is 715 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: not not at. 716 00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 3: All The Kevin durant conversation To houston is were of, 717 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 3: that AND i think that we've seen that In Las 718 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 3: vegas and the. Changes this isn't going to change anything 719 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 3: with The. Lakers the thing that's going to change with 720 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 3: The lakers is If Lebron james decides that he wants 721 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 3: to be traded and wants to leave before this, season 722 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 3: and that's the only thing that's going to. CHANGE i 723 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 3: don't think that's going to, happen BUT i just felt 724 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 3: like we're at this point because we're a couple of 725 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 3: days in free, agency and, LISTEN i get. It like 726 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: when the news broke, YESTERDAY i was at the news. 727 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 3: Desk it was my first. Story there weren't huge stories 728 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 3: yesterday outside Of Mike brown being named The knick's head, 729 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 3: coach but still is a story that we were waiting 730 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 3: on and waiting, on and then when it finally happened 731 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 3: where he cleared, waivers and then there's the report just 732 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 3: minutes after. THAT i understand all of, that and that is. 733 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 3: Fine that's reporting on what's. Happening and it happened to 734 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 3: be one of the bigger stories that we had leading 735 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 3: Into Clayton kershaw's Night Gold cup with THE us men's national, 736 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 3: team a whole bunch of other, stuff but for a 737 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 3: moment in, time it was a big. STORY i am 738 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 3: right there with you and how it affects The lakers 739 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 3: and how we will examine that move to THEIR nba title, 740 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 3: chances especially considering we don't know the status Of Lebron. 741 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 3: James and that's to your point of even With, lebron 742 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 3: they weren't a title, contender and so now you're taking 743 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 3: something that didn't necessarily work In. Portland they didn't want 744 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 3: them In phoenix.
