15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I have a big, hot basketball take coming your way.

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: But first I gotta say this, Yes, I was one.

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: I was nervous how I was gonna feel today? Right

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: because the intensity and anxiety of the baseball playoffs that

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: I normally get the first week and and once it starts,

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: it's just an uptick of it. Doesn't matter if your

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: team is in it or not. It's so intense. It's

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: such a great change. I was saying, Okay, do I

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: want a day off on Friday? Or am I gonna

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: miss having a game? And I was thinking, wow, am

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: I gonna feel? And I said, no, no, you know what,

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay with a day not having a game.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be fine.

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: We got college football, right, w NBA finals are going on, right,

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. No, no, no, I wanted a

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: game tonight. In fact, I wanted three games tonight. I did.

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want a day off at the end. I

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: wanted I wanted there to be another fun. I wanted

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: be there be four games, even though the other games

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: were already decided, Like you know, give the Reds, let

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: let them have fun and throw out there even though

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: they were eliminated. Like I wanted more games tonight. It's

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: just that this week, the first week just takes over

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: and it's I don't know, like the change in the

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: calendar is so different than any other sport, right, Like

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: you see the intensity like the NFL. Yes, you get

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, it's intense, but you know what the

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: first seventeen weeks are pretty bleeping intense, right the NBA playoffs,

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a change to But you know,

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: obviously we get into the playoffs and it's rare to

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: see those big one eight upsets. We get in with

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the with the play in rounds where the we play

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: attention to the teams are only going to be around

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: for a couple of games and they're going to get eliminated.

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: But the Baseball playoffs, it comes in and it's I

50
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: have no time. I am I completely locked in. I

51
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: have no time for anything else.

52
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

53
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 4: I've been going here in LA to Dodger playoff game

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: since the mid nineties. It is, and I mean since then,

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: a noticeable difference in how intense it is in the

56
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: park at these games. And I was there at the

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: last game and the same thing. It was just a

58
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: superb atmosphere from start to finish. And I know Major

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 4: League Baseball is probably tapping itself on the back, say hey,

60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 4: we did a good job with all these day off.

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: Before you know, the next round, the best of five

62
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: doesn't start till Saturday. Everybody's going to start on Saturday.

63
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: Why can't you have two games to and then a

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: couple others on the crowded Saturday sports schedule. They're probably saying, no, no,

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 4: we did a good thing because for the first time

66
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: in the young life of these best of three Wildcards series,

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 4: we had three of the four actually needed a game

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: three this week. Extra time off the guys. Okay, as

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: far as the sports schedule goes, they could have used

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: a couple of games today.

71
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh well, i'm i'm, I'm one of the things.

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: Baseball should play in the playoffs only on these days.

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: They should play Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. Right, take those

74
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: big days off, you know, because look, honestly, I don't

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: mind taking days off in between games if it's resetting

76
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: you and letting you put out your best pitcher. I'd

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: like to see Tarik's school will pitch three times in

78
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: a series or twice if I find need to. And

79
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: plus you have the NFL on the calendar the rest

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: of the days. Okay, they got Sunday, they got Monday,

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: they got Thursday.

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: Saturday is college football.

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: You can play baseball at the end of the day

84
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Saturday into Saturday night. That's absolutely fine, Like those are

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: the days they should play, right, don't compete with the

86
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: NFL the other days, but play those days every Tuesday, Wednesday,

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: and then Friday Saturday. Take two days and you start again,

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: and you still finish the series in about the same

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: amount of time. I don't mind the length of the

90
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: baseball playoffs because it's awesome. It's just like a thrill

91
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 1: ride for an entire month. But like that, that would

92
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: be the perfect schedule for me baseball wise, to say, okay,

93
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: because then every single night of the sports calendar in

94
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: October is insane, because then, okay, let's throw win the

95
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the NHL season coming up in a few days. No,

96
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: by the way, let's throw in the beginning of the

97
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: basketball season coming up in a couple of weeks. Like

98
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: I needed that NXT game yesterday in Abu Dhabi, Like

99
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: I needed that preseason next game to get me away

100
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: from the Mets and everything I needed that I need.

101
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: But October this time is such a great moment, Like

102
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: don't don't miss a chance and try to get out

103
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: there every time you can, because boy, I'd love for

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: there to be two or three games that night here

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: in baseball.

106
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: And as your reference, the NBA preseason did start with

107
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: the Yabu Dhabi game Thursday, those two Nicks had beaten Philadelphia.

108
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: Those two will play again on Saturday. But I will say,

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 4: as far as the Saturday college football schedule tomorrow, they

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: didn't give us a whole lot of boy I got

111
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 4: to see this one type of matchups at least daytime Saturday.

112
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: And so yeah, again, baseball lucks out because the Cubs

113
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: open are at Milwaukee. And for those who are unaware,

114
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: yes they're in separate state. But the Cubs in Milwaukee

115
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: ballparks are closer than San Diego in LA. It's less

116
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: than one hundred miles. This is going to be a

117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 4: great best of five rivalry and the Brewers are the

118
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: top overall seed this postseason. That's two pm Eastern time

119
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: for Game one on Saturday in Milwaukee, and it's a

120
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: day game for Yankees at Toronto on Fox TV. That's

121
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: four pm Eastern time. What are you going to be

122
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: watching at four pm Eastern Yankees at Toronto or Penn

123
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: State at UCLA college football? Because those are your national

124
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: TV options?

125
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: Steve, Yeah, you stderbuilt.

126
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: I don't want to slight Vanderbilt.

127
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, are you sure UCLA is still going to

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: be on television. Are you sure that's still time?

129
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: That's amazing at the scroll that it's only a twenty

130
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: four point favorite from Benstan.

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: Have you seen Ucla?

132
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe they still have a football program, Like

133
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: I thought they would have gotten rid of it after

134
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's just football is just not working here anymore.

135
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: It hasn't worked since cad mcdown. Gonna we're going to

136
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: back away from it. We don't need football. We're a

137
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: basketball I.

138
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: Can remember just a few short years after cade mcdown

139
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: when UCLA football beat Alabama and Michigan in the same month.

140
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 4: I can remember seeing multiple times Ucla beating Texas. Those

141
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: years seem like so far ago compared to I mean,

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: college football has passed UCLA by I mean as a

143
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: as a campus, as an athletic department.

144
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Now, I do want to say this before I get

145
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: into the big basketball hot take, speaking of the baseball playoffs,

146
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: right like, okay, I'm yeah, look, I'm past the Mets

147
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: getting knocked out like they fired all their coaches today.

148
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Oh great, Now we're gonna win one hundred almost literally

149
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: all of them. Yeah. The only one, Carlos Mendoza, the

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: only one left. He's like the.

151
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: Final space coach might be still he's like.

152
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: The final girl at the end of a horror movie.

153
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm the only one left. I was here with everybody.

154
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: I'm the only one left now. But my wife and

155
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I are having lunch today and sitting next to us,

156
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: is you know, because every third person in LA is

157
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: wearing Dodger gear. Right, That's how it is all year round. Right,

158
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: you do this, you think, oh, who's the big team

159
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: in LA? You know with the Lakers. No, LA is

160
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: a Dodger town. It is a baseball town. Guy next

161
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: to me and the Dodger hat and he's and he's

162
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: having lunch with one of his friends and they're just

163
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: talking about the game and my wife and I'm just

164
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: sitting there having lunch, ont say anything. And one guy says, yeah, no,

165
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: I got tickets for uh, I got tickets for game two.

166
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, oh really, he goes, I got

167
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: tickets for the second game in LA And they're like,

168
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: oh really, go yeah, it goes yeah. Well that was

169
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: the best part, is it? Like all these Mets fans

170
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: had tickets and and like they were all coming and

171
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: then they just dumped them, right, because you know, they

172
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs, so I got my tickets for

173
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: like face value from this Mets fan. It was awesome.

174
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm going I want to leave right now. Check check?

175
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: Can I leave?

176
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: I just say I looked up these things for the

177
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: Dodgers Red Series this past week. Face value in the

178
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: top row at the top deck was about ninety dollars,

179
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: but after the Dodgers scored I think it was ten

180
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: in the first game, it came below face value. For

181
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: game number two, the clincher of the best of three,

182
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 4: it's about one hundred and thirty one hundred four, one

183
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: hundred and forty dollars for the similar seats for when

184
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: the Phillies are going to be in LA on Wednesday,

185
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: and by the way, that's another six pm Pacific, nine

186
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: Eastern start. The thing is, if there's still a game

187
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: four needed in this best of five Phillies at Dodgers

188
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: coming up, they could be moving it to three in

189
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: the afternoon in LA on Thursday, and then fans, you

190
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: might get some deals on ticket.

191
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I definitely noticed last year during

192
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: the NLCS when they played Game one was a Monday

193
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: at one o'clock, and then Game six, the two guy

194
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: out went to Game one. In Game six, I got

195
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: to see the Mets losing the Dodgers celebrate Game one.

196
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Tons of Mets fans right during the day one o'clock

197
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: is apparently Mets fans. None of us work, So tons

198
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: of Mets fans a game one, Game six not even

199
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: close to its many Mets fans, not even close. I

200
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, game six at night on the weekend. Okay, yeah,

201
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: that was that was That was much better attended.

202
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: But Major League Baseball Jason has already announced today that

203
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: once we get to Game four of Phillies at Dodgers,

204
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: the latest it will start in LA is seven eastern

205
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: four o'clock in Los Angeles. It's either at three or four.

206
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 4: This is assuming the Phillies don't sweep the thing. You know,

207
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: there's not a game on Thursday.

208
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: Wow, you, I can't believe you.

209
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Frostburger is going to key your car for saying the

210
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: Phillies are going to sweep the Dodgers.

211
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: I can't believe I believe the word if was it?

212
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: You're not even supposed to say. If I believe you said.

213
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm at a news desk.

214
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: If if the series is still going the latest start

215
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: is at three or four. Can I just mention that

216
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: when the Dodgers were in the last decade, had a

217
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: for a I think it was divisional round, best of five,

218
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: also against the Washington Nationals, and they found out literally

219
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: the before that it was going to be a noon

220
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: start because of television, and then the market was flooded

221
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: with people selling off tickets. I got in to see

222
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: Kershaw pitch and pitch well in a day game against

223
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: Washington for twenty five bucks. Wow series because people were

224
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: dumping them less and right. Because literally it was less

225
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: than twenty four hours. Major League Baseball said, hey, you

226
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: know that game that people thought.

227
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: Was going to be Yeah, no, it's it's noon.

228
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: Sorry.

229
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 3: They haven't done that since, by the way.

230
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Steve desag're here on Fox Sports Radio. Now

231
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: the big game of the night coming down to it

232
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: right now, Game one of the WNBA Finals. Las Vegas

233
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: leads Phoenix eighty seven eighty six. Alyssa Thomas has just

234
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: missed two free throws that would have given them the

235
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: lead with twenty seconds left to go. So now Las

236
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: Vegas has the ball and the lead with about seventeen

237
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: seconds left. Now will continue to give you updated on

238
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: this game. But the big story before this game Kathy Engelbert,

239
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the much maligned w NBA commissioner.

240
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: Oh did she speak really?

241
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, she spoke and said she has to do better.

242
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: Right, All this week you saw the FISA Colliers remarks,

243
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: a four minute speech that changed, Yeah, that changed the

244
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: course of the league, saying how bad their leadership is,

245
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: how bad Kathy Engelbert is. How she basically told Caitlin

246
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Clark she's lucky to be in the league. How the

247
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: rest of the players should be thanking her, thanking Kathy

248
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: Engelbert for the media rights deal they got. And so

249
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: many players came out in support of the FISA Collier.

250
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: They want Engelbert out and eventually it's going to have

251
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: to come to the NBA saying, Okay, Kathy Engelbert is

252
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: out because the NBA owning a part like that's how

253
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: it's going to go. So she speaks today and says

254
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I have to do better, but denied the Caitlin Clark

255
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: remarked that, hey, Caitlyn should be lucky that she's in

256
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: the league, and all the jiff yes, because the players

257
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: are upset about about the the CBA coming up. They

258
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: want a bigger pie out, they want better officiator's.

259
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: No guarantee, there's WNBA opening night, next center.

260
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: No, they want all of these things. They don't trust

261
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Kathy Engelbert. They don't they don't love, they don't like

262
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: the officiating. That's number one. That needs to be something else.

263
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: And at least Kathy Engelbert said, hey, we need we're

264
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna do better with the officiating. But it's clear that

265
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: she is circling the drain and the players who have

266
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: a lot of power are completely unhappy and they want

267
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: her out. And you need someone to come in that's

268
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: going to be able to wear so many hats, right,

269
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: because here's the players. Kathy Engelbert's you know, when you

270
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: come from a CEO background, you come in the players

271
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: there's no belief in her. She's not because you didn't

272
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: come up through the league, she didn't play. But the

273
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: owners like her because okay, she's she's a CEO, she

274
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: knows business.

275
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: But this is a really.

276
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: Big time in the league for for having the right

277
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: leadership to get you from where the league was to

278
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: where the league is now, which is a big piece

279
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: of the pie. It's a big that's part of the

280
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: national conversation every single day. And I'm gonna tell you this.

281
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: You know who the w NBA needs to be their

282
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: commissioner because he can he can service every single need

283
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: that the that the WNBA needs, that the NBA needs,

284
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: and owning the league and the players and the owners.

285
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson. Magic, who has been a WNBA supporter and

286
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: owner for a long time. Now, He's someone that comes

287
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: in with the cachet of being a star player that

288
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: the players believe in. He will have great relationships with

289
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: the players. Being an owner, now, he'd have to give

290
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: up his ownership of the spot. But you know, hey, Magic,

291
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: I think Magic will do okay, I think money wise, Magic,

292
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: I think will be all right in the deal.

293
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: Right, okay, thank you.

294
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: But but the w needs him. He would come in.

295
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: He would have a great relationship with the owners because

296
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: he already knows them. He'd be able to push the

297
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: business because you see how many bats he wears in

298
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: business all across the last twenty five thirty years of

299
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: his life. Magic Johnson's the guy that can wear all

300
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: the hats and he can get the WNBA to that level.

301
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: He would have the trust of everybody involved and I

302
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: think that's a home run higher And I think if

303
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: they came to one asked them, Magic would say, you

304
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: need me, I could do it right. He would still

305
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: have time to go on his yacht and go away

306
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: and do all the Magic Johnson things right. But this

307
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: is what it is now. You know, when a big

308
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: star like Magic but the WNBA Magic Johnson for commissioner.

309
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: I'd sign up for that one hundred percent, and.

310
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure the players would because it's the former player.

311
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,560

315
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: Is Angelberg came off sounding like a CEO because let's

316
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: speak generally and truthfully about too many ceo and too

317
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: many businesses in this country. Is they treat the employees

318
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: like they're unbelievably replaceable.

356
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: But Steve, I know, as you mentioned before, doing the

357
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: news desk the same time as co host of the show,

358
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: so you can say things like if the Dodgers get

359
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: sweat and Justin Frostburg's not going to fight you.

360
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: If you were a Phillies fan and you saw the

361
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 4: Dodger bullpen for the last month, would you have a

362
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 4: little confidence about the next week.

363
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: You are foaming at the mouth to take on this Dodger.

364
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: You are just telling, you are just telling everybody. As

365
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: many pitches as you can make o Taani and Snell throw,

366
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: Let's get five like they keep saying five should be

367
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: the mad that she's have five five five the fifth inning.

368
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: We want to be into the Dodger bullpen led that

369
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: bullpen by the fifth inning, and we are we are loaded.

370
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: We are loaded. Now I do have something, Hey, okay,

371
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: the Dodger bullpen is clearly the X factor of this playoff.

372
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Coming up in about a half hour, we're gonna get

373
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: deeper into the Baseball playoffs and the big, the big

374
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: controversy with the Yankees and the Blue Jays going on today.

375
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: I do have something I tell you about the Dodgers

376
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: that every team is like, yeah, we don't have that

377
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: win the World Series. But clear well the bullpen man,

378
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: They'll telling you Frostburg, the bullpen is going to have

379
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: a thing.

380
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 2: There has something to say about it. Well they're not.

381
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: Don't think they're not. Oh no, you will, you will

382
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: count us, you will listen to us. But they didn't

383
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: find the closer the last game they did. Oh and

384
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: think about the desperation just for a second. That rookie

385
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: Sasaki has pitched a grand total of three innings since

386
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: coming off the injured list right two games at the

387
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: end of the regular season where he had holds and

388
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: he looked great. Rokie Sosaki, It's it easyess, I'd make

389
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: that decision if I was Dave Roberts. And he's throwing great,

390
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: his stuff is moving, He's thrown one hundred miles an hour.

391
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: He comes in in the ninth inning, and now it's

392
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: a four run lead. You're supposed to close out four

393
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: run leads, even if you're the worst pitcher on the staff.

394
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: But just the electricity he brought to the team and

395
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: brings to the ninth inning, they have absolutely found their closer.

396
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: And just think about that. The guy has pitched three

397
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: innings since coming back from injury four months ago, and

398
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: he's a starting pitcher, and it's so bad that all

399
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden, guess what, you're the closer. You congratulated

400
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 1: you're the closer. Rokie, good, look, go get him.

401
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: Do you remember the World Series in twenty twenty where

402
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: Ken Lee Janssen blew a thriller of a game against

403
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay and who up getting the final out of

404
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 4: the World Series. The closer was Julio Arius. They just

405
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 4: go to whoever getting out last year was Walker Buehler.

406
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Arius was the guy all the way through the play.

407
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: I want to say he closed out the NLCS too,

408
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, this is the guy on

409
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: the mound and he's closing things out for the Dodgers.

410
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: But I mean it's like you Taugh, you know, I

411
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: always go back to Starship Troopers, that nineties movie Casper

412
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: Van Deen was it.

413
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: You always go back to that.

414
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: Well, I go back to when I think about this,

415
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: when I think of people getting a gig that like wow,

416
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: like do they really deserve it? Like Casper van Dien

417
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: starts in that like it's a starship TREWI, this is

418
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: a great movie. It's this it's this huge science fiction

419
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: move where all these aliens have invaded the Earth, and

420
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: the Earth we're losing and we try to find a

421
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: way to beat them. And like he starts off the

422
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: movie as this lowly private like just trying to get

423
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: into the army, and an hour and a half later

424
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: he's like the General. So it's like wow, man, an

425
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: hour and a half he went from I'm just getting

426
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: in the army now in the General Like that's like

427
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki, Hey, I'm just coming off the injured list.

428
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Who knows what I could do if I could give

429
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: you any That's awesome. Oh well, now I'm the closer

430
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: three innings later. Hey, I'm the c I'm closing games

431
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: for the Dogs.

432
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: You must have been great at Arizona in that practice.

433
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: Man, Hey, he's a simulated closer. Make him the real

434
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: closer now that he's back.

435
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: Well, and I will say, Blake trin and had back

436
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: to back nights of getting outs and a little confidence

437
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: for all concerns. So that's two out of the How

438
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: many relievers do you get out? Fifty two for every

439
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: postseason roster? So that's two they can count on.

440
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: So now, now being at the news desk, okay, I

441
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: want to ask you this. Now the Lakers preseason opener

442
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: is happening right now, DeAndre Ayton getting his first look

443
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: as a Laker. No Luca, no Lebron. Though they are

444
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: at the game, can you tell me what live streams

445
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Lebron James may or may not have done today, But

446
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: even Budd's sitting out, like what took his attention away

447
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: from being able to play in this game?

448
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: Let's see a child of now.

449
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: His attention is always taken away, just feeling the blank, Like.

450
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: I love how awkward this is already with Lebron and

451
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: the Lakers, Like, you know, hey, he's got a glute problem.

452
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: He's got to sit out the first game. No, I'm

453
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: doing I'm dancing, I'm on a live stream. I'm feeling good.

454
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm taking jumpers. Yeah no, but I need to say

455
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: I can't come to practice because I'm injured. Like it's

456
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: already so awkward with him and the Lakers, and it's

457
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: just going to keep getting more and more awkward as

458
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: the season goes on. Like this is awesome, Like I

459
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: love the fact that here we are game one of

460
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: the preseason already. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Lebron and the Lakers. Yeah,

461
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: this is going to be a soap opera all the

462
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: way through the year.

463
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: You failed to mention, no Marcus Smart, who of course

464
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: has had no soap opera moments and isn't zero fast

465
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: zero career.

466
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah zero zero, No, not at all. He's been well.

467
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart kind of looks like Tim Duncan compared to Lebron,

468
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: So I mean there.

469
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 4: Is there is that well, I mean, Lebron's had the

470
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: spotlight since he was sweat sixteen realistically, naturally I'm talking about.

471
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: So there, it's a little bit of a difference.

472
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: So again, opening night Lakers preseason action taking on the

473
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Suns right now, kaa.

474
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 4: At an arena and near Palm Springs. By the way,

475
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 4: do you recall when the Lakers played against Steve Nash

476
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: and the Suns years ago in an exhibition in Palm

477
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: Springs at the Tennis stadium where the annual Big Spring

478
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: Tennis tournament is held there. They had an outdoor basketball

479
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 4: game in Palm Springs.

480
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, it was an Indian wells right yeah, yeah.

481
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: Then they realized at some point in the game, you know,

482
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: we're in the desert.

483
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 3: It gets windy here, Steve Nash can't make a.

484
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: Spree pointer because it keeps blowing wide left, like like

485
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: a field goal attempt.

486
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: Now, the outdoors today.

487
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Outdoor anything at Palm Springs is not a good idea.

488
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: There's there's no outdo Like if they could put Palm

489
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Springs in a dome, it would be awesome, it would

490
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: be fed. But like anything you walk outside, go oh

491
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: my god, it's one hundred and seven degrees. I really

492
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: I can't even walk to the to the corner. I can't.

493
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: I can't even get out to God, no, you don't

494
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: get the newspaper anymore. I can't even go out to

495
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: Uh uh take my dog for a walk. It's so hot. Oh,

496
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: now it gets windy.

497
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: It's dusty. It's like Arizona exactly.

498
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 4: Although have you been to the youth baseball fields that

499
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: are literally one is just like in design Wrigley Fields,

500
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 4: another just like Fenway, and another just like Yankee Stadium.

501
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: Not only have I been there, I've played games there

502
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: and tournaments there. Yes, I played tournaments there. Uh they're

503
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: called Field of Dreams. Yeah, it's all these softball fields

504
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: that are made there. There's Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, and Fenway.

505
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: We didn't play at Wriggly We played at Yankee Stadium,

506
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: and we played at Fenway. And uh, here's about the weather.

507
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: Here's it is.

508
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: So we played and it was it was Oh boy,

509
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: it was all the best teams.

510
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: In the cup.

511
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: Like we joined, like we we joined to go in

512
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: like we played nover thirty tournament, so because everybody was

513
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: over thirty. But like we were there watching some of

514
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: the games of like this is like the best teams

515
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: in the country would show up and play and just

516
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: watching them play, it's like, oh my goodness, like every

517
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: single ball is just absolutely.

518
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 3: Cracked a bunch of ringers.

519
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but uh, here's the thing.

520
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: The games all started at ten o'clock at night because

521
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: it was so hot it wasn't safe to play. So

522
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: we played two games with a first night, we played

523
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: our first game at two am, and then the second

524
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: night we played our first game at one thirty, and

525
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: then we had to play another game because we won

526
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: at three thirty. Wow, we played at one third more.

527
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I didn't feel tired. It was great.

528
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this is awesome. But I'm like,

529
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: we couldn't play until one thirty in the morning because

530
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: the because it's so odd, it's so unsafe to play.

531
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: This is a little like the discussion to do people

532
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 4: even remember when the Cardinals NFL team first moved to Arizona,

533
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: the stadium there currently and had not been built yet.

534
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: You know, the.

535
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: Fiesta Bowl was still outside. The Cardinals had to start

536
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: outside at the Arizona State Stadium at the Tenpee campus

537
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: and they were playing and they were in the division

538
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 4: with the Cowboys, so you would have Emmett Smith and

539
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 4: Dallas playing at Arizona in September at one in the

540
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 4: afternoon and it was one hundred and seven degrees and

541
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 4: there's no shade at that stadium. It was astounding that

542
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 4: they started that way. Exactly what you're talking about. If

543
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: even youth softball or over thirty games can say, you

544
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 4: know what, it's better to play at midnight than at

545
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 4: one in the afternoon, I can't imagine that the NFL

546
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 4: tied to TV as it is.

547
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 3: It took them a long time to move off that.

548
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 1: Hey, those guys are over thirty. They could die if

549
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: they play too much in the hot. Whether that put

550
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: their games later, make sure they play as late as.

551
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 5: Guys ever been on the field at one o'clock kickoff

552
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: in Miami?

553
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Who oh you've been you've been there?

554
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, you think what one o seven's hot? This is

555
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 8: what makes that Dolphins longy. This makes that Dolphins lots

556
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 8: of the Patriots just ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago, right,

557
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 8: what do they want like eighty percent of their games

558
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 8: at one o'clock in September.

559
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 5: I know that Dolphins their games when they play the Jets.

560
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's any time Tampa Bay was ninety degrees

561
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 4: last weekend for the Bucks.

562
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's any time of the year, that's any tide

563
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: the Jets list by.

564
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 4: While it's supposed to be about eighty degrees for the

565
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 4: Jets shockingly this weekend.

566
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's yeah.

567
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look, yeah, well, I'll tell you this, right,

568
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you Jets Jets Dallas right, part of the

569
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Football Friday preview. I love the over in this game,

570
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: and I love Dallas. The Jets are undisciplined on defense,

571
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: and they're unprepared for games, which I don't forget, I love,

572
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: so of course everybody knows they're winless. Steve, I'm trying

573
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: to go every box score here. Uh, they're undisciplined and

574
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: they're unprepared. I want to love Aaron Glenn, and I

575
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: really do. I want to love Aaron Glenn. And it's

576
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: weird that a you know, a one to two in

577
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: one team facing an zero to four team is one

578
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: of the big marquee games of the week. But when

579
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: you get Cowboys Jets, it's a thing. I want to

580
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: love Aaron Glenn, right, I want to love them, but

581
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: clearly this should be the honeymoon period. And and he's

582
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: trying to clean up stuff and clean up bad penalties,

583
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: and the Jets are giving games away like this is

584
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: stuff that happens at the end when players have tuned

585
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: out a coach and they're ready to move on. And

586
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: this is what the Jets are trying to do here.

587
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: They're not going to clean it up this week. It's

588
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: not going to happen. There'll be a lot of playing.

589
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: I said, I love the over, I love fields this week.

590
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: I love the Jets being able to move the football.

591
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter ceedee lamb, no CD lamb. Dallas

592
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: is gonna play pitch and catch on Sunday, and it's

593
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: going to get worse for the Jets against what is

594
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: the easiest schedule in the NFL, which tells you how

595
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: bad they are way before it gets better. But the

596
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: biggest thing about Dallas that I don't think people are

597
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: taking enough attention to right. The Cowboys won two and one, Yes,

598
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in their situation, and Jerry Jones with a

599
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: roster it's been abysmal. He's running abysmally for a long time.

600
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: It's a top heavy team that never is deep enough

601
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: to win. The only time was deep enough to win

602
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: was when he had Dak and Ezekiel Elliott on their

603
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: rookie deals and they could put players around them and

604
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: they played pretty well. But since then, Jerry Jones loves

605
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: giving bad money to the wrong players. But I'm gonna

606
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: tell you this, four weeks into this season, and I

607
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: have seen stuff from Dak Prescott that I haven't seen

608
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: over the course of his career. In a situation in

609
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: which his team trades away their best defensive player, basically

610
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: punts on the season. How do you feel about that?

611
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: If you're Dak, you know, the longest tenured leader of

612
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: the team, quarterback, big money, and all he has done

613
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: is come out and play extremely well. He is still dynamic,

614
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: he is smart, he is poised, and he is mature.

615
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: He's someone that can take care of business. And and

616
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: you know, at you're thirty two in the league, Now

617
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: Dak's been in the league. If heres you want to

618
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: think that's there, but the Cowboys, it's a really difficult thing.

619
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: But I have just seen an overall difference in the

620
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: way he carries himself on the field. Hey, when the

621
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys are down, we're gonna get the score we need.

622
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna get we We're gonna do what we need

623
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: to on offense to win this game. Ty this get out. Defensively,

624
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: they're absolutely awful, right and there's nothing to do about that.

625
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: But Dak Prescott has really shown that, Hey, he is

626
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: a winning quarterback. And it's weird that he's doing in

627
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: a season where the Cowboys are bad and it's probably

628
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: not gonna get any better. But like, if they ever

629
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: figure it out, no doubt Dak can win the super Bowl.

630
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: There's no doubt like this, Dak Prescott can win the

631
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with weapons, without weapons, with a running game,

632
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: without a running game, he still makes enough plays. He

633
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: is still dynamic, and he has hit that next level

634
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: in leadership and development. Like, I am all in on

635
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: Dak being the guy the Cowboys need him and have

636
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: needed him to be. And I've seen so much over

637
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: the course of the first four weeks, like, yeah, if

638
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: you can ever figure out the rest of it, man boy,

639
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be something.

640
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: And it's not just the Jets winless. The Cowboys, let's

641
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: be honest, should be winless. They needed all forty points

642
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: from Dak in that overtime game a few weeks ago

643
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: against the Giants. They were allowing big points to the Giants,

644
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: and the Packers got forty against Dallas and Ceedee Lamb

645
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 4: still out this weekend, and Dallas is gonna be missing

646
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 4: at least three offensive line.

647
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 5: And they'll still crush the Jets.

648
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: And that doesn't matter. They're still gonna put points up.

649
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: They'll still score forty on the Jets. You will crush

650
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: the jack They will still well, Dak will be I'll

651
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: tell you that Dak will be the number one fantasy

652
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: quarterback of the week. He'll be the absolute number one

653
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback of the week. That's how big a week.

654
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Justin fields have a big week too, Like it's gonna

655
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: be a lot of offense here. The Jets good will do

656
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: what they want to offensively, but Dak's gonna make enough plays.

657
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna win this game and he's gonna be

658
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: absolutely lights out.

659
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: That's Dak Prescott.

660
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,880

00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: his entire life in southern California and became do you

788
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 4: remember when he filled in as Laker play by play

789
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 4: guy and it happened to be in the night of

790
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 4: Kobe's eighty one play game because Schoel Myers was the

791
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 4: Laker announcer back then but was doing foot ball work also,

792
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 4: and this was a Sunday night game and he was away.

793
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: Bill McDonald steps in and does, of course a legendary

794
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 4: night in NBA history, forget Laker history, and of course,

795
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: Joe Myers has been.

796
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 3: In New Orleans for years. Now, let's leave it at that.

797
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,279

798
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,120

00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Toronto game was like, hey, it's late at night on

800
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,960

801
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 4: On the Lauders were down twenty or something like that,

802
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: as I recall, at one point in that game.

803
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sam Mitchell still was gonna single guard

804
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, still gonna throw one guy out. Seventy points doesn't.

805
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 4: Matter one Laker. One Laker had eighty one points in

806
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 4: one game. I'm not sure these Lakers will get eighty

807
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 4: one tonight against No.

808
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: No, no, they're not. They are in the second quarter already.

809
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have twenty two points. It really so

810
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: we brought you like one eleventh of all of their

811
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: points tonight so far.

812
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: That's it with the play that.

813
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: So again, more basketball on the way again. You know,

00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,040

00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: now BYU top twenty five team leads West Virginia right now,

820
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,000

00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: game's gonna end it like two in the morning, but

822
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the week. Know, we got Texas Florida, right,

823
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: we got Miami Florida State. Yeah, I reckony Clemson and

824
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: North Carolina. There's a reason why this is on national

825
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: TV tomorrow.

826
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: Think about what is.

827
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: At stake right now for both of these head coaches.

828
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: The college football season so far has been about two

829
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: head coaches right, not player wise, but head coaching wise

830
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: has been about two people. Dabo Sweeney and what could

831
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: be the end of an era in Clemson and how

832
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: upset he is I'm tired of winning or I'm just

833
00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: putting that, you know, he's all the things. Era is

834
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: a Clemson era over and Bill Belichick at two and

835
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: two now maybe in a one and done type season

836
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: at North Carolina. North Carolina didn't go through all of

837
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: this crap that they did over the past few months

838
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: with Jordan Hudson in the football program to be like this,

839
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: to knock teams away from being able to see teams

840
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: to see North Carolina play New England can't get to

841
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: see the team play. They did not sign up for

842
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: this and a five hundred if not under five hundred.

843
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 4: Well, well, they've only played two real teams and they

844
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 4: got blown out by each of them, so we can

845
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: call them two and two, and I guess statistically that's correct.

846
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 3: But let's be honest.

847
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 4: They still got to play whatever is left at Syracuse

848
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: at the end of this month. So don't be looking

849
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 4: ahead Tar Heels.

850
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: But one of these teams, either Clemson's gonna fall to

851
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: one and four or no, And it would be so

852
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: incredibly embarrassing for Dabbo to go to one and four

853
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: to lose to to Belichick, or Belichick's gonna go to

854
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: two and three. And it's does this guy really know

855
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: what he's doing, right, Because if they get out of

856
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: this one year and it's bad, they're gonna say, Okay,

857
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: this didn't really work. The buyout is very low, right,

858
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: It's not like it's not like Lincoln Riley or or

859
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: anybody else not worried about even Dabo's buyout.

860
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 8: What.

861
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: No, No, it's a very low buyout like this could be.

862
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean from the beginning, I thought this could be

863
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: a one and done thing from Belichick if he can't

864
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: come in and reinvent college football, which they thought they

865
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: were gonna do. This game is gonna go a long

866
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: long way for one of these coaches, because look, Dabo's

867
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: buyout is big. They got money at Clemson and maybe

868
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: that maybe Dabbo's one of those guys. Yeah'm making all

869
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: this money, but I'm not happy. You can see it

870
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: starting to get combative at Clemson, like one of these

871
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: guys is going to be well on the road to

872
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: and more so Belichick, like this being their last year there,

873
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: Belichick more than Dabbo. But boy, I don't know, man,

874
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: Dabbo goes like like four and seven or four and eight.

875
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: Look out, I think they might be able to rub

876
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: a couple of nickels together for that buyout for Dabo.

877
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: But you're right about the attention this game. You know,

878
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put my eyeballs on this game. It's a

879
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 4: morning game West Coast time, and there are two other

880
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 4: games in that time slot in the ACC. But if

881
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 4: you look at the list, you can get into Boston

882
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 4: College at pitt for under twenty bucks a ticket. You

883
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 4: can get into Wake Forest at Virginia Tech for twenty

884
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 4: five The cheapest seats at North Carolina for this game

885
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 4: are seventy North Carolina has to actually show that it

886
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 4: belongs in the conference at this point.

887
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is so interesting a game because of what like,

888
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: this is a game for true college football fan to say,

889
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: WHOA the Dabo stuff, the Belichick stuff. This has been

890
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: driving the bus for most of September into October. How

891
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: does this soap opera go? If I can only watch

892
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: one game tomorrow outside of Syracuse, this is the game

893
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,200
