Speaker 1: will also check in with the Miami Heat. Miami Heat

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on Thunder beat the Rockets.

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: That series tied at three games. Apiece will dissect that

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: coming up in a moment, Heat beat the Bucks in

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: Game one. The Bucks are down one oh for a

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: second straight series after yesterday's lost to the Heat. And

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: since the playoffs expanded to sixteen teams that was back

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four, only two teams have dropped game

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: one in both the first and second rounds and gone

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: on to reach the NBA Finals. That would be the

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Rockets in nineteen ninety five when they won the title

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: and the seventy six Ers in two thousand and one

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: when they lost to the Lakers. It sounded like a

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: stat of the day to me, right out of the

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: gay Day and ready right out of the game. Stat

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: of the day. Stat of the day, dude, comes that,

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: what stat of the day. I'm not messing around today,

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: like zero games? Yeah, two minutes in stat of the day.

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Not kidding, not kidding at all. Tonight Celtics, Raptors and

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: Jazz Nuggets Game seven. I didn't think I would say this,

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: but I'm really looking forward to Jazz in the Nuggets tonight.

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: A game seven in September in the NBA, Donovan Mitchell,

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray, let the fireworks begin. First guy to fifty

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: wins and the Celtics and the Raptors. As much as

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: we were all in on the Raptors, Celtics, do they

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: have the firepower? They better without Gordon Hayward? Are they

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: a better defensive team without him? But you got game

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: two coming up tonight between the Celtics and the Raptors.

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: Watched a lot of the Thunder and the Rockets. I'm fascinated.

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I love this series from the beginning because you had

41
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Chris Paul going against the Rockets and James Harden. They

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: trade Russell Westbrook for Chris Paul. You get four first

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: round draft picks in there with the Oklahoma City and

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: I think we were under the insumption of the assumption.

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: The impression at least I was that, Okay, you're gonna

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: get Chris Paul. Remember Chris Paul. They were talking about

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: trying to trade him during the season. A couple of destinations.

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: Then I think they realized we have a playoff team here.

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: I think they were in a rebuild, and then they

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: realized Chris Paul still has some mileage left on those tires.

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: And he played great. He's played great all year long.

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: He's been one of the more clutch players in the NBA.

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: And you saw it last night and Russell Westbrook giveth

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: and he taketh away Oklahoma City. That defensive philosophy is

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna close out, shut down, try to limit James Harden,

56
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: and basically beg Russell Westbrook to have the ball. And

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: you saw that at the very end, had a turnover,

58
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: had an airball, and now we have a Game seven

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: in that series. He beat the Bucks in Game one.

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be surprised if Miami wins this series.

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: I think that Miami is a really good team, a

62
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: sneaky good team because they don't play in primetime. You

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: know about Jimmy Butler, but you don't know the other players.

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio. You might remember Hire from Kentucky,

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: but he was an All Star and he can go

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: toe to toe with the Greek Freak. He has that ability,

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: that strength, that size to go toe to toe. Now

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean the Greek Freak's not going to go

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: off in this series. He almost had a triple double

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: last night. Miami has shooters, they have confidence, you have

71
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Fame coach. You got pat Riley

72
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: in there is the puppeteer. Like this is a really

73
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: good team, dangerous team, and one that Milwaukee cannot look

74
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: at like light take lightly like maybe they did the

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic after the Magic took Game one. I don't

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: think anybody said, oh, Mike, Milwaukee's in trouble. Milwaukee misses

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: Eric Gordon. You gotta have him in there, and Eric Bledsoe,

78
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: I should say you gotta have him in there. And

79
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: having that third option. You know, Jimmy Butler went for

80
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: forty last night, and you know, you know, Jimmy Butler

81
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: after the game was interviewed and he's like, I'm not

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: bringing a family into the bubble. I'm here for business. Now.

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: He could bring family in, but he said, I'm down

84
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: here to do a job. Man. I love that. I

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: don't know how his family felt, but I did love

86
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: that he says, I'm here for business. And you saw

87
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: that last night. Now, the Greek Freak became just one

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: of a handful of players in NBA history to win

89
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year in the MVP in his career.

90
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: Two have done it in the season same season Michael

91
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: Jordan in a kimalaj one and he has a great

92
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: chance of winning a second MVP this season. But the

93
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Heat don't seem to care. They came out and they

94
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: punched the Bucks in the mouth last night and you

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: had Bam, you had you know, hanging in there against

96
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: you honest Jimmy Butler. Once again, he's a playoff finisher

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: for Miami and the Heat made it very difficult from

98
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: the opening whistle for the Greek Freak. Didn't get as

99
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: many free runs at the rim. And it's going to

100
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: put a whole lot of pressure on that supporting cast

101
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: with Milwaukee and they miss Bledsoe. But it's not going

102
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: to be easy. The Greek Freak has to step up

103
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: in the series and prove why he is the NBA's

104
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: most valuable player or the Bucks are going to leave

105
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: the bubble a lot sooner than a lot of people

106
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: expected to. This program has brought to you by Legal Zoom.

Speaker 1: com today for more information. McLevin, do you have a

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: poll question for me? So we've been putting together this

112
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: list of the least buzzed about team in the NFL.

113
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: I know it's totally random. I'm hitting you there. So

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: I have that, and I have another option. One of

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: the degenerates in the back just gave me the updated

116
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: championship betting odds for the NBA. So I have two questions.

117
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you one hundred dollars. Which of these teams

118
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: are you betting on? And who is the least buzzed

119
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: about NFL team? Okay, which one do you want? To start, Well,

120
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: let me start with bounsketball since we were on that topic.

121
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: By the way, here is Chris paul after the win

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: last night for our team. Bubble. Life is different, you

123
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: know when when you are sort of on the ropes

124
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: like that, down three to two, like you gotta pack, Hey,

125
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: have you packed and be ready for just in case

126
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: you have to lead the next day? You know. So

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: you know we're not ready to go yet, you know.

128
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: And our team we have had a memorable season, a

129
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: lot of ups and downs and all that, and we

130
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: just we're just gonna continue to fight. We wouldn't have

131
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: it any other way. Twenty eight points. She had a

132
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: couple of big free throws down the stretch there as

133
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: they live to see a game seven? All right, mclovin. Okay, So,

134
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: as I mentioned the degenerate in the back, he goes by.

135
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: Dylan handed me to slip this morning. He said, here's

136
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: the updated odds. Clippers and Lakers are both favorites of

137
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: plus two sixty. Then you go Bucks, Celtics, Raptors, and

138
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: the Heat are plus twelve hundred. Okay, Paula can explain

139
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: how much that wins, but that's pretty good it's a

140
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: pretty good bet if you put one hundred dollars on

141
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: that you could really clean up. Is that the team

142
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: you would pick as the possible upset or some of

143
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: the other choices. The Rockets are big money, the Raptors

144
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: are big money, the Celtics are pretty good money, and

145
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: the Nuggets and Jazz are both big long shot. Well,

146
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: when the series started between the Thunder, well when the

147
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: playoffs were getting ready to start, I like the Rockets

148
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: with an outside chance here just if all goes well,

149
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: then they're very difficult to beat. But the question is

150
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: will it all go well to win four games in

151
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: a series, And that's the big question mark we always

152
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: have with the Rockets. Can they do this where they

153
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: can win four games? Can they have an off night

154
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: and still win a game? Which great teams have off

155
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: nights in the postseason and still win games. The Rockets

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: usually don't do that. I like the Miami Heat a lot.

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this year's Toronto Raptors, but there

158
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: is a feel around them, just my opinion, okay, and

159
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: I've felt this way. I went out of my way

160
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: to watch them this year because I just you know,

161
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: once you start to see a team that's a true team,

162
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily star driven. Even Jimmy Butler not a star.

163
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: He's a great player, not a star. And then you

164
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: have these role players and Bam out of Bio became

165
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: an All Star. But people probably don't even realize that.

166
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: I would probably go with the Miami Heat. Now, they

167
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: may lose the next four to Milwaukee, but I do

168
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: and said this yesterday. They are dangerous and you saw

169
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: that last night. Yeah mcclem how at the Boston Celtics

170
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: city there at plus six fifty. I would know the

171
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: Heat or the Celtics if I was going to try

172
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: to make some money. But can either those teams like

173
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: win the whole thing? Or is this just to get

174
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: out of the East. We're talking about probably get out

175
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: of the East. But you know, we didn't think Toronto

176
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: was gonna win. They had Kauai, but we didn't think

177
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: they had the supporting cast or you know, how will

178
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: that supporting cast matchup? Granted they were helped out with

179
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: injuries with Golden State, but who knows how this works ound.

180
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: You know, we're just we're just dipping our toe. We're

181
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: not even through the first round of the postseason yet.

182
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: So there's a whole lot of basketball left to be played.

183
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: But what I saw last night Oklahoma City, you thought

184
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: they were in a rebuild, they're not. And with the

185
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Miami Heat, they're not afraid of the Milwaukee Bucks. You

186
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: got Celtics Raptors tonight and Jazz at the Nuggets game seven?

187
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: All right? Now, the other one has to do with

188
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: the least buzzworthy NFL team. Yeah, we were discussing this

189
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: morning and given the choice, who wanted to go negative? Here?

190
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: Who is the NFL team that either Garner's less buzz

191
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: or is it? You might actually ask who's pretty good

192
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: that nobody talks about? Two? Just teams that do not

193
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: have a high Q rating. Okay, now we know that

194
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: the Donald's Cowboys are number one, right social media followers,

195
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Dallas is one, New England is two. New England surprises

196
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: me at two, but that's based off of previous numbers.

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: This is a list I sent out of somebody who

198
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: collected Facebook, Twitter, Instagram metrics. And you know this is

199
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: obviously informal to an extent. This but who gets the

200
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: most action on social media? I get the Patriots a two.

201
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: You don't really that surprises you that they're that high.

202
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody outside of New England cares about

203
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean people in New England do, but

204
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any buzz about there. There's buzz

205
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: this year about Cam but they've collected those followers over

206
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: this run with Tom Brady. But they were a boring team.

207
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: They're only interesting when they get to the postseason because

208
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: we either want to see them win and add another

209
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or we want them exposed because they cheated

210
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: or did you know are they lost? Yeah, but those

211
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: are huge sakes. I mean de Flak was three years

212
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: of our lives. Well, you have the Cowboys, then the Patriots,

213
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: the Steelers at three, Packers at four, the Seahawks at

214
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: five I find interesting. Then it's the Eagles, Broncos, Niners,

215
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: the Giants, and the Carolina Panthers. So let me go

216
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the list here. Yeah, setn o'counter see.

217
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: I think that the Steelers at three is surprising. I mean,

218
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: I get that they have a big fan base, but

219
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of buzz there to me. Yeah,

220
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: but there's not buzz with the Patriots. But the Steelers

221
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: play nationally. You know, there's there's Packer fans, Cowboy fans,

222
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: and Steeler fans all over the country. But I don't

223
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: think you have that with the Patriots. Let me see

224
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the least buzzworthy, Well, Jacksonville is the least buzzworthy teams? No,

225
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: no on this list on that, but we're saying, for

226
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: like right now, there's Jacksonville at least has the storyline

227
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: of their tanking and they're trying to get Trevor alongside.

228
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: Like to me, the Chicago Bears are uninteresting nationally. They're

229
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: not good. They're probably a little bad, but not bad

230
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: enough to get the first pick. That nobody cares about

231
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks station situation outside of Chicago. They have no

232
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: national buzz. All right, Tampa has national buzz, The Titans

233
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: don't have national buzz. The Bengals with Joe Burrow maybe

234
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: a little buzz. Buffalo doesn't have buzz. So the topic

235
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: is what teams are we least interested in? Yes, yes,

236
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: I love the Bengals, week won anybodys. I'm not very

237
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: interested in the Titans. Anybody can talk about the Cowboys, Packers, Steelers. Yes,

238
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to take the AFC South out

239
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: of this pole. I always say that like it's not fair.

240
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: You're talking about the superheroes of non buzz worthy teams,

241
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: the Jags, Cults, Titans. I'm interested in the Colts this year. Oh,

242
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough sell. Now, I don't I know.

243
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm interested. I find the Rams are boring,

244
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers are and you know, unless Justin Herbert plays,

245
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: I find them boring. And now they've just lost, you know,

246
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Derwin James, Arizona I find interesting. Cleveland I find interesting,

247
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: The Jets I don't find interesting. The Lions I don't

248
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: find interesting. Washington is only interesting if Daniel Snyder has

249
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: to sell the team. And are they tanking for Trevor Lawrence? Yes, Todd,

250
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: I was wondering where Detroit was. Shouldn't they be really

251
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: close to the bottom. The Lions now they're kind of midway.

252
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans well with JJ Watt and Deshaun Watson

253
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: and who knows with Bill O'Brien, Falcons, Raiders. Raiders are

254
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: always going to be interesting. New Stadium, John Gruden, Derek Carr,

255
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Saints are up there. Caroline is not the tenth buzzworthy team. Again,

256
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: this is historic. This list you know, they had Cam

257
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: for a while, I think built them up a lot

258
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: of followers. Yeah, and then you know Christian McCaffrey. All right,

259
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: so right, this this is a who's a cumulator? Okay,

260
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: So the least buzzworthy team in the NFL this year.

261
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say New England until they got Cam.

262
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: But by the way, is Bill Belichick and Cam Newton

263
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: going steady? Can do we have Bill? Here's Bill Belichick

264
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: talking about Cam Newton. I can see why he had

265
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: the kind of success that he had at Auburn and

266
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: Carolina and talking to people from that we're with them there.

267
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: The things that they said about them at Auburn and

268
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Carolina from a decade ago or to three years ago

269
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: or even last year, it's all the same. And it

270
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: showed up here. Who is that guy? It took him

271
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: three Super Bowl wins for him to say something nice

272
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: about Brady. He just caught Cam there a couple of

273
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago. How can he say all these things and

274
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden go, you know, and my starters

275
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham, I got he's gushing like Bill's in love here, Yes, Todd,

276
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: he loves him so much? So why is it still

277
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: a mystery. Then why isn't he giving him? Is he

278
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: just playing games? Does he already know? He didn't have

279
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: to tell us anything? He never does. We believe he

280
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: knows who is starting quarterbacks by now. Yeah, but he

281
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: didn't have to take When's the last time Belichick actually

282
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: told us something. This is as effusive as I've ever

283
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: heard him, because normally, if I say, hey, what do

284
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: you think of Cam? Uh? You know he's he's competing

285
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: with Jared and uh and uh Brian Lawyer and we'll

286
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: see where that ends up. He's excited. If I wouldn't

287
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: have known that that was Bill Belichick. Now, if I

288
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: just saw the words and I go, oh, is that

289
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: like a like another GM or coach who's sang about

290
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton? Is that Ron Rivera talking about Cam Newton?

291
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Let's say, man, he's excited there. All right, we'll come

292
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: up with a poll question. We'll check in with the

293
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: great Patrick Ewing. It was kind enough to join us

294
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: after the loss of his former coach John Thompson. We'll

295
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: talk to Patrick coming up here in a couple of minutes.

296
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Just getting started here, settle on a poll question. Got

345
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing well then, you know, of course, I you know,

346
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: I have a a heavy heart. We lost a great man,

347
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: a great friend, a great role model, a father figure.

348
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: He was he was my second dad. Um, so I'm

349
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: definitely feeling that that a pain. But also you know,

350
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we should celebrate his life and

351
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: the things that he had accomplished. You know, he's a

352
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: man that you know, he wasn't just a basketball coach.

353
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, he stood for something. He stood for, you know,

354
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: all the racial injustice things that ever going on in

355
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: this country. He's been fighting that fight for for his

356
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: his entire life. And you know, I think that, you know,

357
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: we need to celebrate, uh and I need to celebrate

358
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: his his accomplishment in it instead of mourning our laws.

359
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: When was the last time you spoke to him? I

360
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: saw him on Friday. I went to his you know,

361
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: I went to his home. Uh. And he had been

362
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: ill for for a while now, uh. And I had

363
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go to his house and sit there

364
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: and talk and joke and laugh with him, and you know,

365
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: and I was able to say my my goodbyes. Um.

366
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, you know, he is the

367
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: person that has always been there for me, not only

368
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: as my coach, but also as my my my confidante,

369
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: my my father figure. Even though my father was was

370
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: always there. He was just another person that I could

371
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: that was that was that close to me and I

372
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: cared about deeply. What was it like that first time

373
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: you met him? You know? It was funny the first

374
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: time I met him when I was seventeen years old, myself,

375
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: my mother, and my dad, coach jobs. We were all there,

376
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: uh you know at my high school. Um. He you know,

377
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: the way that he spoke, the way that he carried himself.

378
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and my mouth wide open thinking about man,

379
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: this man can you know he really he really can talk?

380
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: And he was someone that I could and I could

381
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: look up to and even try to emulate as I

382
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: got older. And That's what I've been trying to do.

383
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: Did you understand at the time how he was protecting

384
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: you by keeping you away from the media. Like your

385
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: freshman year. Every time I went to Georgetown to do

386
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: a story on Georgetown, I never got to talk to you, Pat.

387
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: I always I always got to talk to coach Thompson

388
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: and that was it. Well, you know, he had a

389
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: rule and the rule it was there before I got there,

390
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: but it just got that much noted, that that much

391
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: notice on it because of me. And he had a

392
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: rule that freshmans couldn't talk until I think it was

393
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: after January. But you know, I love the fact that

394
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: he took the hit from me. It was even the

395
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: time A lot of times when he wanted me to

396
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: do the interviews and I really didn't want to do him,

397
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: so a lot of them he made me do, uh,

398
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: And some of them he took the hit uh. You

399
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: know for me. We had Jim Beheim on yesterday and

400
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: he said, you look at the impact that coach Thompson had.

401
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: It's not just on his players, but also on fellow

402
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: African American coaches getting an opportunity. And that's one of

403
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: the reasons why I wanted to have you on is

404
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: to celebrate John. But that impact that he had on

405
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: just you guys, it was us, us against the world,

406
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: like he had told you guys, it's us against the world.

407
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: Did you guys truly believe it was us against the

408
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: world at Georgetown? Oh definitely. If you look, if you

409
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: look back at all the things that were rolled about us,

410
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: they were all negative, not all, but most of them

411
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: was negative. You know, So he made us feel it

412
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: was us against the world. Uh. You know, when you

413
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: do things your way, and you know you you you

414
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: tend to rub a lot of people, you know, the

415
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: wrong way, unfortunately know or you know, people have always

416
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: had missed, you know, miss diagnose, or they they think

417
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: what they want to think about you, They have preconceived

418
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: notion about you. So you know, they tend to run

419
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: with that. You know. Coach Thompson was a great name.

420
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: He stood for a lot of great things. And you know,

421
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: we played our way. We weren't gonna we wasn't gonna

422
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: take any crap from anybody. We're gonna kick your butt,

423
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: take names. And did he have a sense of humor, Yes, yes,

424
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: he sure did. You know, you don't see it or

425
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people from the outside very rarely see it.

426
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny. There were times, you know,

427
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: we listened to music before the games, are in there, dancing,

428
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: getting ready, you know, getting ourselves psyched up, and he'll

429
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: come in there from time to time start doing his

430
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: little two steps. You know, they stopped cracking and stuff.

431
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: But no, he did have a sense of human but

432
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: he picked and two when U to the like the

433
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: like the mood or you know, to just give us

434
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: a lack. What role did he play in you taking

435
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: the Georgetown job? A huge He was a huge part,

436
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you lose. His son had just been

437
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: been let go, and I was mourning that. I was,

438
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, disappointed in the fact that, you know, the

439
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: school that let U JT. Three go, And you know,

440
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: a couple of days later, him calling me and telling

441
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: me that, you know, you need to try to apply

442
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: for this job. You need to call president and Joya

443
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: and uh to lobby to get this to have an

444
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: opportunity to interview for this job. And I told him

445
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure, you know, I wasn't sure that I

446
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: wanted to coach coach in college because for fifteen years

447
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: I've been trying to be a head coach in the NBA.

448
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: And he said, you've been trying to get him for

449
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: fifteen years and they hadn't given you an opportunity. Yet

450
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: it's time you you try a different than or a

451
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: different avenue. And I thought about it, talked to, you know,

452
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: people who are my confidown in the NBA. Talked to

453
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Bank, Dundee, stand Bank Dundee, Steve Clifford, and they're like,

454
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: he's right, you know, you need to, you know, try

455
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: and see if you can get it. So I reached

456
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: out to the president and I was given a granted

457
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: interview and here I am today. So if it wasn't

458
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: for him and his words, uh, and this is the

459
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,840

485
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: their job and I was doing well. Clear up a

486
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: story if you can. When you played in the National

00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: Title Game and you goldtending like the first four or

494
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,679

495
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: I've been watching it from time to time. I think

496
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: the guys are doing an outstanding job of playing but

497
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: also using their platform. I thought it was great when

498
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: they when they boycotted those you know, for those games. Uh,

499
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: you know, it shows that they the power that they have.

500
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know if it's gonna help

501
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: to make a change, but at least it bring it

502
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 1: brought attention to it, and you know, the social social

503
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: injustice that's been going on in this in this country,

504
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: even in the world, it needs to stop. You know,

505
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: we need to see each other as humans. You know.

506
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,320

00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, Coach meant a lot, he fought a lot um. Well,

519
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: he was doing this back in the eighties. Patrick. I

520
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: mean he was standing. He was literally standing up and

521
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: not a lot of other people were standing up with

522
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: him when he first thought him when he first came

523
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: here at Georgetown, he was fighting. He was fighting, fighting

524
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: for his equality and his opportunity. And he's done an

525
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: I was standing job. And you know, like I said before,

526
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: he you know he was a person. When I first

527
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: met him, I thought that I could this was a

528
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: person that you know, you should emulate. And he's he's

529
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: he's the person that I've been trying to emulate. You know,

530
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: some of the things he's done I don't agree with,

531
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: but you know, that's that's life. There's a lot of

532
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: things that your mother and father do that you don't

533
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: agree with, but you respect you respect him, and you know,

534
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: I've been leaving him and I would following him right.

535
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: I would follow him to right through that door. I

536
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: like the shirt you got on John Thompson raising his

537
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: uh right fest there. Uh that's powerful seeing coach there. Yes,

539
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: I want to celebrate his life. He's done an outstanding

540
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: job at Georgetown. His legacy is um, it's it's setting stone.

541
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: Uh And I think that myself, Alonzo to Kem bay Ai,

Speaker 1: national championships, and you know, a whole new generation might go, oh,

612
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: that guy used to coach Georgetown passed away. And I

613
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: remember doing that when I was younger, that you didn't

614
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: understand the magnitude of certain people that you came across

615
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: in your life, certainly in this world of sports, and

616
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: to be able to just remind people or enlighten people.

617
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Is part of the job that I have and I

618

00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: double overtime. And then on De Lisa Corfen Final, I'm

632
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: worried about him. Lightning advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals

633
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: double overtime win against the Bruins. Tampa has been in

634

Speaker 1: the Conference finals five times in the last ten years.

635
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: They played the winner of the Islanders and the Flyers.

636
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: That's courtesy of Lightning Radio guest time. So that wasn't

637
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: the Bruins boadcasting that was not it was the light

638
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: It was the lightning. Thank you, Todd. Play the day

643
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: for more information. There was a topic yesterday Mike Tannenbaum,

644
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: former front office executive in the NFL, was on Get

645
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: Up on the Mothership, and he said he could see

646
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: a scenario where if Jacksonville got the number one draft

647
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: pick and was going to take Trevor Lawrence, would Dabo

648
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Sweeney leave Clemson. I did a little research, Chuck talk

649
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: to a source yesterday about that possibility. I have that

650
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: for you coming up at the top of the hour.

651
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: Jesse and Los Angeles leads us off this morning. Hi Jess,

652
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Hey, hey, Bud,

653
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: thanks for having a great Patrick eing on. He's always

654
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: great interview. And I was born in eighty six, so

655
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 1: I missed the heyday of Biggies. Factable, but hearing former

656
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: players talk about the impact coach Thompson had on them

657
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: specifically kim In Motembo. He wrote an article back in

658
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen called My House for the players should game,

659
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: and he does a deep dive on all Coach did

660
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: for him and it's pretty powerful. And then I'm also expecting.

661
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting to be a sweep, and I know

662
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: the Greek freaks are going to go off, but they

663
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: keep play hard. It's like Greek team defense. They're making

664
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: the other players in the bucks trying to beat them.

665
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: So with the confidence of a Tyler hero shot, whenever

666
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: you shoot the ball, I'm taking them and six. All right, Jesse.

667
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: I know we're a reactionary sports society. You see one game,

668
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: you either love a team or hate a team. Here,

669
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 1: Miami's good, They're a balanced team. I'm taking the heat

670
00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: to win the series. Nick Lovin noted, you're kind of

671
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: leading that way before. Yeah, now I like him, but

672
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: you don't sound like this is not all in Dan

673
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: Patrick though, it feels like you're settings a chance. I well,

674
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: you have to give him a chance. But they're the

675
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: overwhelming favorites, so I mean, I have to acknowledge that.

676
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: Are they really overwhelming? Though? Is anybody gonna be Shore

677
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: Vegas the odds in Vegas are there overwhelming favorites. I

678
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: feel like everyone's sort of waiting for the Bucks to

679
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: lose and the Yannis going elsewhere rumor. It feels like

680
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: that is ready to go. Ye, You're absolutely right. People

681
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: want to see Yannis leave. Where's he gonna go? You know?

682
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: When he go to the Knicks? Will he go to

683
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: the lake? You know? Like this is how it starts,

684
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: and it's and it's not fair to Milwaukee, not fair

685
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: to the Greek freak. But this is coming. If you

686
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: don't get to the NBA finals, this is coming. And

687
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: even if you get to the finals, it might still

688
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: be coming. Because this is a story that is it's

689
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: almost being manufactured because I don't know what validity we have.

690
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any sources behind the scenes.

691
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: You know. All I've heard is, hey, Jason Kidd gets

692
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: a head coaching job, Janos will follow him. Okay, um,

693
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. But if that's the case, then

694
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: somebody should hire Jason Kidd. Now does he get fired

695
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: if you don't get the Greek freak? Yeah, Paul, you

696
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: should hire Jason Kidd. Milwaukee Bucks should hire a Jason Kidd.

697
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: Then keep him there. There you go, problem solved. Then

698
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: he could go back to Milwaukee again. Maybe yeah, maybe not.

699
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: Let me see Kyle in California. Hi, Kyle, what's on

700
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: your mind today? Good morning boys? Um? Well, yeah, watching

701
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: that game last night, you just see why so many

702
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: people were on the heat. But you know, I think

703
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: the first Almo of the fall, it's the Bucks lose

704
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: CP three this season with his playoffs, he's played his

705
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: way out of his contract, being untreatable Bucks CP three.

706
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: It might be a good little marriage coach, Bud. He's

707
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: on the hot seat tube. They don't win, all right, Well,

708
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: thank you, comm Yeah. You know, if you're gonna have

709
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: the MVP Defensive Player of the Year back to back

710
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: MVPs and you're in the East, then you expect a

711
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: little bit more out of the Greek freak in the Bucks.

712
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: I guess. And I don't know if they're a great team,

713
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes we get a clouded view of

714
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: a team because we go, well, I don't know if

715
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: they're that great. They're not exciting, but that doesn't mean

716
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: they're not great. You know, Brook Lopez basically reinvented himself.

717
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton was a great surprise story. So is the

718
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: Greek freak who's improved every single year. You just have

719
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: to have a couple other players that are going to

720
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: be consistent. Dante de Vincenzo is just not doing it.

721
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: You know, he's not ready to play. I know he

722
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: has the athleticism, you know, came up big in the

723
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, but you know, I see him out there

724
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: and feels like he's still a little bit lost. And

725
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: Eric Bledsoe is a must gotta have him. Although Eric

726
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: Bledsoe can help you and hurt you. But I you know,

727
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe we're looking at the Bucks differently. Maybe they are

728
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: they should be complimented on overachieving, but I think that

729
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: they'll be criticisms if they underachieve. Maybe they win, maybe

730
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: they go to the NBA Finals. Maybe all is good

731
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. But I think that the media is waiting

732
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: to just run with that story. Yeah, mclub. Chris Baul

733
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: turned thirty five in May. Does he have like another

734
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 1: year where he can help a team like the Box

735
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: be a championship piece? But I think if you watch

736
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: Chris and I said, you're going to get a tutorial

737
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: in playing the point guard position. The way it used

738
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: to be when this series started, when the playoffs started,

739
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: I said, you'll get a tutorial because Chris Paul is

740
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: playing the point guard position the way it's meant to

741
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,959
Speaker 1: be played, the way it used to be played. He's tough,

742
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: he's hitting big shots, mid range jumpers. You know, it's

743
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: not exciting, but this is what he has done with

744
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: that team. And all the rumors that he was going

745
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: to get dealt during the season after Oklahoma City got him,

746
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: because hey, we got all these draft picks for him,

747
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: Let's ship him someplace and maybe we can get something

748
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: in return. But now all of a sudden, Oklahoma City

749
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: becomes a little bit more than a rebuild, and maybe

750
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to the next round. Here, Now you

751
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: win game seven, that'd be a big surprise, I think

752
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. All Right, so we settle

753
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: on our poll question. I actually am just putting up

754
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: the least buzzworthy team. I know it's negative, but I

755
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: hear my choices. Okay, give me the candidates here. Jaguars,

756
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: of course, Titans, I'm sorry they were in the NFC

757
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: title game. Rabs, Chargers as one unit as hard knocks done,

758
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: Jets who you mentioned, yea Cults. Okay, Washington football team.

759
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: That's all I got so far. Should we put the

760
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: Bears on there? The Bengals? Probably not because it Joe Burrow, right, Yeah,

761
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals will be interesting just because of
