13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: just a bit. But as we march toward another hopefully

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 2: entertaining March Madness season, I reminded now more than ever

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: by a simple tenet of life that for me proves

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: to be factual. It's not what happens to you, it's

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: how you react. In fact, life is actually about ten

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: percent of what happens, but about ninety percent how you react.

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: One classic example for me is this is a situation

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: like no other that I would describe that exemplifies grace

21
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: under pressure. It will always be the incident that legendary

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. When Jack Johnson was the

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: heavyweight champion of the world the turn of the century,

24
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: last century, I believe, between nineteen eight nineteen fourteen thereabouts.

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: A legendary man story goes like this. The year was

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: nineteen twelve, and Johnson was speeding across Pennsylvania in his

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: car on the way to a wedding when he was

28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: pulled over by a police officer. Johnson's companion was his wife,

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: a white woman. Now imagine during the height of Jim

30
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: Crow speeding down the road. In this situation, the police

31
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: officer told Johnson the final was fifty dollars payable now

32
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: fifty dollars in cash. Fifty dollars in cash in nineteen twelve,

33
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: that's about sixteen hundred dollars in today's dollars. So how

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: did the dignified world champion boxer react. Well, Jack Johnson

35
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: was a charismatic man, no stranger doing dignity. He coolly

36
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: reached into his pocket handed the officer a clean, Chris

37
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: Cool one hundred dollar bill. I don't think you'd heard me,

38
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: the officer yelled, I said fifty dollars. Well, Jack Johnson replied,

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: in about four hours, I'll be coming back this same way,

40
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: and I'll be going about the same speed. With a

41
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: smile on his face, Johnson was on his way. Life

42
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: and sports are not about what happens. It's about how

43
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: you react. And in the wake of this court storming

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: national saga, the irony is not lost on me. Fifty

45
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: years ago, last month, more Dame broke UCLA's eighty eight

46
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: game winning streak. Fans stormed the court. It was jubilant,

47
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: it was spontaneous combustion. It was an autonomic, non planned

48
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: response to an unexpected, historic victory. That's how I characterize it.

49
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: That's how you used to do it. Fifty years later,

50
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: what's changed. Well, fans still rush the floor, but in

51
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: my humble opinion, for an entirely different reason. Frankly, it's

52
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: now become a self serving event. I brush with fame,

53
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: a chance to go viral. Look at me, I got

54
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: my selfie, I got my TikTok. I'm famous, at least

55
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: I think I am. It's self aggrandizing, it's pre planned.

56
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Will there be any solution anytime soon? The world's watching

57
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: see it's not what happens, it's how you react. The

58
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: governing bodies, the powers to be, how are they going

59
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: to react? Will there be any solution in anytime soon?

60
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't know exactly why, because

61
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 2: everybody's more focused and too busy on winning arguments than

62
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: actually finding solutions. So, with just a few weeks to

63
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: go until March, madness and gulfs sports fans, trust me,

64
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: the court storming debate has taken over the discord, especially

65
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: after last week Dupe and their star Kyle Philipowski was injured.

66
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: I see that in their quotes. He's going to be okay.

67
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 2: He was injured when Wake Forest fans rushed the floor

68
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: Saturday to celebrate their eighty three seventy nine win. But hey,

69
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: how can you cancel such a wonderful tradition? And I'm

70
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: not saying you should, but remember there was a time

71
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 2: when smoking on airplanes was normal. Fact, we once fought

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: wars with a single shot rifle. Fact, the only thing

73
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: constant in the world is changed. But on this matter,

74
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: there's a real stalemate. But in the meantime, what the heck?

75
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: No one every really gets hurt. I mean, the chances

76
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: are one in a million, right unless it happens to you.

77
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: Really well, tell that to Randy Peterson. I'm sure you

78
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: folks will remember recently that Iowa State completed in incredible

79
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: combat against their in state rival Iowa at Hilton Coliseum,

80
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: and in the aftermath the fans rushed the floor. Randy Peterson,

81
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: a sports writer for the Des Moines Register, was tripped

82
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: by a fan who was joining the storm. The collision

83
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: fractured Peterson's tibia, tibia and fibula. He crashed to the ground.

84
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: His leg was placed in an air cast, but Peterson

85
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: was eventually removed from the court on a stretcher and

86
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: had to go under surgery the next day. Not first blush,

87
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: here we go. It provides ammo for a lot of

88
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: folks who've long argued against these court storms, primarily for

89
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: safety reasons, And upon further review, it looked like it

90
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: was a fluke incident by a single person. That's how

91
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: he got tripped, and that provided ammo for just let

92
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: the kids have their fun, crowd. Forget that the person

93
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: in question was not a player or an official or

94
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: another member of the working media. Rather a fan who

95
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: paid her ticket felt it was her right to be

96
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 2: on the court. No court storm, no broken leg. But hey,

97
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: stuff happens, right, Yeah, Oh, did I forget to mention

98
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: that incident took place in December of twenty fifteen, nine

99
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: years ago. This is not a new phenomenon. But hell,

100
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: you can't get hurt. What's the big deal? No big deal? Well,

101
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: maybe you check in with Joe Kay. You may not

102
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: have ever heard of Joe k He's thirty seven years

103
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: old now, but he was a high school star in Tucson, Arizona,

104
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: on his way to Stanford on a volleyball scholarship. But

105
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: he was also a tremendous basketball player. Well granted. Joe

106
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: Kay later went on to say, I guess I was

107
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: small potatoes, but it doesn't appear like anything was learned.

108
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what happened that night. Kay also

109
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: a six fixt six, as I said, volleyball and basketball store,

110
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: also a high school valedictorian, finding himself in a situation

111
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: where his team won a huge game, the fans the court,

112
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, Joe Kay's life changed in

113
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: an instant. He was thrown to the floor, He suffered

114
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: a torn caroate artery, had a stroke, and the left

115
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: him paralyzed on his right side. He agreed to an

116
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: outside the Lions interview years later and talked about it.

117
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: The only takeaway was it appears nothing was learned. This

118
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: incident took place on February sixth, two thousand and four,

119
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. They were talking about it then and

120
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: they're talking about it now. Are you going to hear

121
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: any solutions from me tonight? No, you're not. I'm trying

122
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: to give you a historical perspective. Am I taking sides

123
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: on this? No?

124
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm not.

125
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: But you want to hear some reactions to the wake

126
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Forest Duke situation. Well, they've ranged from Jay Billis suggesting

127
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: stormers should be arrested. Alabama Athletic Director Greg Burn said

128
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: home teams should have to forfeit the game. Whether any

129
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: more incidents happen over the next few weeks, one thing

130
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: that will be discussed for sure. Policy changes will no

131
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: doubt be a major discussion, major discussion point. So what

132
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: can schools do to prevent kids? Perhaps many have been

133
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: hooked up to a blender since eleven am this morning.

134
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: They want to celebrate their big wins, They want to

135
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: be part of the process. The arenas are often compact.

136
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: They're not equippled enough security. I don't expect them to

137
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: be anytime soon. Nothing has worked to fix this. Frankly,

138
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: monetary fines punishments from conference to conference they haven't made

139
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 2: a difference. If you don't believe me, stay tuned. Coming up,

140

00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 4: We usually talk all basketball, all the time. But it's

157
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 4: more about the stories about what made these people love

158
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

159
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: We talked to coaches, we talked to players. Tell your stories.

160
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: You download it, you listen to it.

161
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 5: I think you'll like it.

162
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,

163
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

164
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: All right back in the Bernie Fattle Show, Fox Sports Radio,

165
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the tire Act dot Com

166
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Take you up to two

167
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: am Eastern. Check that two am Pacific, five am Eastern.

168
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff to get to midnight hour will

169
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: be taken your calls. A couple of provocative topics which

170
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: I'll get to in a minute. The court storming dialogue

171
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: isn't gonna go away anytime soon, and for what it's worth,

172
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: the most two recent instances of court stormers putting star

173
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: players at potential risk, actually no fines were given out

174
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: see the ACC does not have a policy for court

175
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: storming fines. So wake Forest was let off the hook.

176
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: And in the earlier instant three weeks or how State

177
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: wasn't penalized when a fan bumped into Caitlyn Clark sent

178
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: her around a whirling dervish while rushed in the court

179
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: after the Buckeyes women's basketball team beat Iowa last month.

180
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: Because the Big Ten doesn't find until the third offense, well,

181
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: plenty of conferences have fairly substantial fines. There have been

182
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: eleven incidents this season alone that have been recorded. I'll

183
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: get to it a second, but first, let's bringing the

184
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: crew quickly. Kevin figures when you hear court storming and

185
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: a couple of close calls, Kyle Filapowski, Caitlin Kark, what's

186
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: your knee jerk reaction on the whole subject.

187
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: It's the same thought I've had for the last ten

188
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 6: to fifteen years. I don't understand why it's still a thing,

189
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 6: you know, and it doesn't happen super often, but it

190
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 6: happens often enough. Where you hear about a player getting

191
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 6: bumped into, you hear about fans getting trampled. It hasn't

192
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: happened a lot, but there was I think one or

193
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: two reports of people suffering really really serious, life threatening

194
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 6: injuries from being trampled from either court storming or field storming.

195
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 6: After College of Football basketball games. I understand being excited

196
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 6: and wanted to celebrate with players and other fans, but

197
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 6: there's a different way to do it than to run

198
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 6: onto the field, especially when you're putting the players and

199
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 6: the coaches in danger and they're not even able to

200
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 6: get off of the field or the court.

201
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 5: Yet it just isn't necessary.

202
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you've heard of my opening monologue.

203
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: My theory was back in the day, it was spontaneous combustion,

204
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: pure joy, jubilation your team won an unexpected game. Now,

205
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: in this era of cell phones, TikTok selfies, look at me,

206
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: I want my tim and its of fame. I feel

207
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: that's what's driving it. It's more of a contrivance now,

208
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: it's more of a self centered effort designed on making

209
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: you feel famous for lack of a better moniker. Do

210
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: you give any credence to that.

211
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's part of it, and I also

212
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 6: don't want to, you know, be shortsighted on.

213
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

214
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 6: These are college kids and they are you know, a

215
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: lot of them are friends with a lot of the

216
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 6: players who are on the court, on the team. There

217
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 6: is a certain connection that you do have to these players,

218
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 6: to these coaches to these assistants. That's a little bit

219
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 6: different from the pro level, and I know you want

220
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 6: to sort of extend that connectivity in a moment of

221
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 6: high emotion, like when a team wins a game that

222
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 6: they're not supposed to on your home field, their home court.

223
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: So I certainly don't want to discount that part of it.

224
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 6: I do think that's still part of the genuine passion,

225
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 6: and maybe there's just a better way to regulate it.

226
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 6: Maybe you allow them to come onto the court or

227
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 6: rope them off and have a walkway for the players

228
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 6: to walk by and do high fives or something. But

229
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 6: for them to just have unfettered access to the court,

230
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 6: especially when players from the visiting team do not even

231
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 6: have time to vacate the court or the field, it's

232
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: just really dangerous not only for the players, but also,

233
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 6: like I said before, for the fans themselves.

234
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: And to your earlier point, we're primarily taking basketball because

235
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: march managers around the corner, but obviously the goalpost coming

236
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: down situation, many people have been very critically injured, mostly fans.

237
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: But as I pointed out, a star player in high

238
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: school two thousand FOURMS Way to Stanford got knocked to

239
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: the floor, his carotid ottery burst and he had a stroke.

240
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: He paralyzed on his right side and then a columnist

241
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: in Iowa in twenty fifteen on a broken lake, Shaye,

242
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: what's your thoughts on the courts storming situation?

243
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 7: I mean, I kind of feel a little different from Kfig.

244
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 7: I don't feel as strongly as why it's still a

245
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 7: thing like I it's you know what I like to

246
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 7: compare it to. It's like not as extreme, but it's

247
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 7: like kind of like the running of the bulls, Like

248
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 7: it's almost like people kind of enjoyed it's a part

249
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 7: of the sport. It's like people like it's almost like

250
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 7: how running of the bulls is part of Spain, Like

251
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 7: it's something that's been a thing for so long. And

252
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 7: I know they got rid of running of the bulls,

253
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 7: which it's something that obviously they should have got rid of,

254
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 7: but it was part of Spain. It's something that's been

255
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 7: there for so long. And when I was at ASU,

256
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 7: like I hoped like our teams were good enough to

257
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 7: where I could have done something like that, and and

258
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 7: I know it's super dangerous, but again, like it's just

259
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 7: one of those things that like you know what it

260
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 7: is and and as a fan, it's super and as

261
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 7: a fan you really want to do it. But again,

262
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 7: I feel like there needs to be things done to

263
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 7: where those away teams are protected, Like they have enough.

264
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 7: I mean, they have the money, you know what I mean.

265
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 7: I'm sure they can get tons of security guards in

266
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter to come in there are two minutes left,

267
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 7: one minute left surround the people protect their players, I

268
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 7: mean their assets now, especially with nil going on, Like

269
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 7: it's tons of money on the line, they're all assets.

270
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 7: So I'm sure they'll find a way to make them

271
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 7: feel a little bit better and or not feel a

272
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 7: little bit better. But in terms of like they won't

273
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 7: get injured, but I'm sure they won't get injured because

274
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 7: of the security guards. But I'm sure they'll find a

275
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 7: way to kind of combat this in the coming years.

276
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 7: But again, I feel like this is something where it's

277
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 7: just like running of the bulls, Like it's something that's

278
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 7: been happening and until something really really bad happens, I

279
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 7: don't think they'll get rid of it.

280
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: And there it is until something really really bad happens.

281
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: So how do we define that? Is it a star

282
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: player because it's already happened to a high school kid

283
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: who's paralyzed, and it's already happened to a journalist who

284
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: broker's leg and probab together incidents, it's aid, this is

285
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: what I consider almost an imponderable. I don't know what

286
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: happens here. I'm not advocating the ban it. I'm not

287
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: advocating they continue and do nothing. But I will tell

288
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: you this, since October fifteenth of this year, there have

289
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: been eleven incidents of field and court storming. And these

290
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: are for conferences where there are penalties. Back on October fifteenth,

291
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee beat Alabama. I actually was twenty twenty two, not

292
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. The Valls fans rushed the field. The

293
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: school was fined one hundred thousand dollars. Two weeks later,

294
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: LSU beat Old miss the fans storm the field. They

295
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: were fined two hundred and fifty grand. Two weeks later,

296
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: that same LSU team beat Alabama, they were also fined

297
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand. Fast forward to this year,

298
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: Week two of the football season, Missouri beat Kansas State.

299
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: They were fined one hundred grand after the fans rushed

300
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: the field. And an Old Miss beat LSU on September thirtieth,

301
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: just this past year, and they were fined one hundred

302
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. That's Old Miss. That was football. Well, UCF

303
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: basketball just a month ago they beat Kansas January tenth,

304
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: they were fined twenty five thousand dollars. Santa Clara beat

305
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: Gonzaga on January eleventh in a West Coast game. They

306
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: were fined five thousand dollars. Then South Carolina beat Kentucky

307
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: and basketball they were fined one hundred thousand dollars January

308
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: twenty third, and LSU, their basketball team beat Kentucky just

309
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: last week and they were fined one hundred grand. The

310
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: school was so there are eleven incidents there. Those fines total,

311
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: you know, probably a couple million dollars. Have they served

312
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: as a deterrent? No, Now I will say this, I

313
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: have to plead guilty. So when I was working with

314
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: ESPN Radio here in Las Vegas and UNLV, yeah, it's

315
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: been ten years since they've been to the tournament, but

316
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: still a very proud program. And it was I think

317
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: it was December twenty second or third of twenty fourteen.

318
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: Number one ranked Arizona came to town and did DeAndrea

319
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: eight and it was a wil of a game. Chris,

320
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: Let's put it this way. UNLV upset them. It was

321
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: a tight game, but down the stretch it didn't look

322
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: like U and V would win. And Stanley Johnson, who

323
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: was a freshman at Arizona at the time, and I

324
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: was so funny. I was sitting down Press Row and

325
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: Arizona's coach at the time. He's got the brother of

326
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: the coaches at Dayton. I'm having a brain cramp, guys, Kevin,

327
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: one of you guys can bail me out. But he

328
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: got in trouble with Simincia violations too. But he's yelling

329
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: at Stanley Johnson. You're Stanley killed us the whole game, right.

330
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: Johnson was a good player with tomdrow Day cup of

331
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: coffee in the NBA. It didn't look like un of

332
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: you would win that game. They were hanging in there,

333
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: hanging in there. Looked like they played just well enough

334
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: to get a ripped from them. And Stanley Johnson misses

335
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: a bunny right under the basket to end the game,

336
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: and you he wins. We couldn't believe it. Fans stormed

337
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: the floor. It was incredibly cool. It was way cool.

338
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: It was fun. No one got hurt. I get it.

339
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: And so to Shaye's point, I've seen it firsthand. Thanks Shay.

340
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: He just texted be Sean Miller outstanding, good good work Jay.

341
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 2: And of course his brother Archie was at Dayton. The

342
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: point of the matter is there is something electric about it.

343
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: There is something pristine about it. There is something about

344
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: the whole ordeal that is only really I would say,

345
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: in college, in college sports, the kind of dynamic that's

346
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: almost indescribable. And I used to happen in baseball. I

347
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: mean when Reggie Jackson at the three home runs to

348
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 2: win the World Series, they stormed the field and it

349
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: was Frank Aaron rounding third base. Every time you see

350
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: the highlights, did you guys patting him on the back.

351
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: One was Craig Zager. We're at different times now, we

352
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: had different times, and there is I do not believe

353
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: there is a solution. Speaking of is there a solution, Well,

354
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: the oak Lan names are on spring training, and yes

355
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: they are still on their way to Vegas. But how

356
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: could it be nine months after this announcement was made,

357
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: we are still having questions about this move that should

358
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 2: have been answered a long time ago. Coming up Alan Snell,

359
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Business Journal. He's been on this story since

360
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: minute once, since we started copying it, covering it last April.

361
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: He'll bring us up to date. But first, let's go

362
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: to the guy whose updates are so powerful they're guaranteed

363
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: not to break. Ben roussbus By, the death Chip Cracker Peel.

364
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: It's our guy, Kevin Figures.

Speaker 6: twenty eight points with eight assists.

371
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 5: Tough news for the Clippers.

372
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 6: They did lose Russell Westbrook to a fractured hand late

373
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 6: in the first half. He'll be reevaluated soon. New Orleans

374
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 6: did defeat Indiana one twenty nine to one oh two.

375
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 6: Brandon Ingram went thirty four points there for the Pelicans.

376
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 6: Tyrese Halliburton went scoreless for Indiana in twenty three minutes

377
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 6: of work. Malik Monk scored thirty five of his thirty

378
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 6: nine points in the second half and overtime, as the

379

00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 6: out indefinitely. Boston defeated Dallas for their tenth straight win,

391
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 6: a victory over Arkansas State.

392
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Friedle, all right.

393
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: Thanks, Kevin, it's welcome in a gentleman at this time,

394
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: he's you very much got a finger on the pulse.

395
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: He could follow and at LV Sports Biz the local

396
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: names to Vegas Well Allen nine months ago was announced,

397
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm not going to steal your thunder but there are

398
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: sure a lot of unanswered questions. You might as well

399
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: take us right on down the line, item by item.

400
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 8: Hey, Bernie, Yeah, I mean it does look like it's

401
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 8: kind of been dragging along for a while, that's for sure.

402
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 8: You know, one of the things that the most obvious

403
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 8: item that I think the public wants to see is

404
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 8: a drawing of the stadium. You know, keep in mind

405
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 8: the state legislation that enabled three hundred and eighty million

406
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 8: dollars in public money and assistance to the athletics to

407
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 8: help them build their stadium. You'd think that would compel

408
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 8: them to be a little more open with their partner.

409
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 8: And their partner is Clark County in Las Vegas, and

410
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 8: I think, you know, people are very curious about, you know, what,

411
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 8: what the stadium looks like. There hasn't been much information

412
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 8: about the roof of the stadium, I think because it's

413
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 8: limited to a nine acre site at the corner of

414
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 8: Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. It's nine acres on

415
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 8: an overall thirty five acre parcel. You know, people, I

416
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 8: think are pretty much safe to assume it's going to

417
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 8: be a fixed roof. Athletics stadium that's supposed to open

418
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty eight. You know, the one thing just

419
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 8: to keep in mind is that, you know, people need

420
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 8: to understand the context and the dynamic is that you know,

421
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 8: this isn't about the athletics flying solo on this project,

422
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 8: because they are working in collaboration with the owner of

423
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 8: the Traplicana Hotel and as you know, Bernie, the workers

424
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 8: have been told that April second is their last day,

425
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 8: and the owner, which is Bailey's Corporation, wants to build

426
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 8: another modern hotel property on the thirty five acre site.

427
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 8: And my point is that it's been become pretty clear.

428
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 8: In fact, it's one of the few bits of information

429
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 8: that was unearthed from John Fisher's little chat with the

430
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 8: media at a chamber event just in January, was that

431
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 8: the athletics will be working in tandem with Bailey's Corporation.

432
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 8: And there's a third player involved, and that is the

433
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 8: landowner of the thirty five acres and that's Gaming and

434
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 8: Leisure Properties, Inc. And you know, the bottom line is

435
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 8: that they are getting the land for free, Bernie. So

436
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 8: it's true, I mean no doubt about it. I've been

437
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 8: kind of reporting on this for nine months in terms

438
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 8: of the limited information that the Athletics have disclosed to

439
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 8: the public. But just keep in mind that we are

440
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 8: working with two other partners, and in some ways, Bernie,

441
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 8: they're kind of beholden to the partners in terms of

442
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 8: the site. So the bottom line was, you know, we

443
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 8: were supposed to hear about the drawings in early December.

444
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 8: That was canceled and it was never rescheduled. And then

445
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 8: we you know, we have come to learn that the

446
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 8: developer of the hotel, which is Bailey's, I think, wants

447
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 8: to present the redevelopment of the entire site with their

448
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 8: project the hotel along with the athletic stadium. So my

449
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 8: hunch is that that's why it's just been stalling in

450
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 8: terms of information granted to the public.

451
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 2: So neither of us believe that the move is in

452
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: real jeopardy. We believe it will happen. But you've got,

453
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: you know, factions, powerful factions going back and forth three

454
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: weeks ago our Mayor Carolyn Goodman and a certain contingent

455
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: of media. Well, they continue to question the viability of

456
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: this whole or do you Because let's start with the

457
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: delay and the release of the new renderings we're nine

458
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: months into this. What's the reason they're giving there aren't

459
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: legitimate new baseball renderings.

460
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 8: Right? Well, like I said, I think it has to

461
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 8: do with the fact that the developer of the hotel,

462
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 8: which is Ballet's, I think they pretty much advise the

463
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 8: Athletics don't fly solo in presenting your stadium project by itself,

464
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 8: and that the entire redevelopment of that corner is thirty

465
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 8: five acres on the southeast corner of Tropican in Las

466
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 8: Vegas Boulevard. You know, it's just going to have to

467
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 8: be you know, like I said, the A's are not

468
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 8: flying solo on this. They're going to have to work

469
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 8: with two other partners to move this project forward collectively.

470
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 8: So that's my hunch about why we just haven't had

471
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 8: much information about it. Keep in mind that, you know,

472
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 8: one big hint that the project is moving forward, Bernie,

473
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 8: is the fact that you have a lot of workers.

474
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 8: I mean, Bailey's Corporation told its workforce at Tropicana Hotel April.

475
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 8: Second is, you know, we're closing shop. So you know,

476
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 8: if the project was not moving forward, I don't think

477
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 8: you'd you know, just rest fairly hundreds of employees out

478
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 8: on the street.

479
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: No, I agree with that again, and none of this

480
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: conversation is implying that this move is in jeopardy in

481
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: any way at all. We'll talk with Alan Snell LV

482
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: Sports Biz. So Balley's Corp. Does plan to close the

483
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: Tropic aany April second, the next step is to get

484
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: the site ready for demolition. It's my understanding the demolition

485
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: process will take between nine months and a year, and

486
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: then the A's plan to begin actual construction on the

487
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: ballpark in April twenty twenty five. Do you believe that

488
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: that deadline will be met?

489
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 8: Well, I think so, and I think, you know, I

490
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 8: have to do with the fact that, you know, the

491
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 8: Athletics do have a couple of strong partners involved with this,

492
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: you know, the hotel development company. It's in their interest

493
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 8: too to demolish the siety. I'm not quite sure if

494
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 8: the demolition would take nine months per se. I mean,

495
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 8: I know that it's going to be a multi week,

496
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 8: multi month situation, and like you said, construction would potentially

497
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 8: begin in twenty twenty five in order to get an

498
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 8: opening by twenty twenty eight. And you know, and let's

499
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 8: face it, Burnie, I mean there's nothing wrong with saying

500
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 8: that until you see the shovels in the ground, there's

501
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 8: nothing wrong with being skeptical about wondering whether this is

502
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 8: going to be legit. I mean, let's face its, have

503
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 8: looked at sites up and down the Bay area. They

504
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 8: you know, they looked at San Jose in Fremont, and

505
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 8: they looked at the coliseum site and the Howard Terminal site,

506
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 8: and they even looked at a community college district site.

507
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 8: I mean, they've looked at five different locations. They didn't

508
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 8: close the deal in any of those locations. So you know,

509
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 8: it's quite understandable why people would be feeling skeptical about So.

510
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you a question. Alan, a

511
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: gentleman named Brandon Moore, who's the chief operating officer for

512
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: Gaming and Leasing Properties, saying also known as GLPI. Right. Apparently,

513
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: they it's my understanding, they have seen the stadium renderings

514
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: and they have indicated they're very excited about it. So

515
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: if stadium renderings exist and they've seen them, what's the

516
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: delay in sharing them with the public.

517
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just don't know. I mean, to me, there's

518
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 8: a couple other factors. I mean, the fact that the

519
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 8: that the State of Nevada, you know, air mark three

520
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 8: hundred and eighty million dollars. I think that'd be a loan,

521
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 8: would be reason enough to share it with the public, Bernie.

522
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 8: And you know that's that's problematic. You know, the the

523
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 8: athletics partners on the on the redevelopment. The site is

524
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 8: not just you know, gaming and leisure the landowner and

525
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 8: Bailey's the owner of Tropic Canada, it's also the state

526
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 8: of Nevada and Clark County.

527
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: Oh.

528
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 8: By the way, the three hundred and eighty million dollars

529
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 8: includes one hundred and twenty million UH that will have

530
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 8: to be bond sold by Clark County. And they're going

531
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 8: to have this district, you know, be your the so

532
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 8: called you know, tiff district, you know, the tax increment

533
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 8: financing stuff. And you know that's that's not one hundred

534
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 8: percent you know a you know guaranteed that you'd you know,

535
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 8: raise the mind need to pay off the bonds. You

536
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 8: know that that that's no guarantee, Bernie. So I mean,

537
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 8: that's definite reason to be skeptical. But you know the

538
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 8: one thing to keep in mind is that you know,

539
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 8: what we have are these little drips of information that

540
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 8: come through the quarterly earnings calls, and like you mentioned,

541
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 8: you referred to gaining leisure and there was an executive

542
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 8: I believe he's the chief operating officer and general counsel,

543
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 8: and you know, he told the shareholders, you know, this

544
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 8: thing is proceeding on schedule, right, and he and he

545
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 8: and the skepticism that we expressed, Bernie he described as

546
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 8: quote unquote noise.

547
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: I saw that. So so let me address that quickly

548
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 2: because we just got a couple of minutes here. Yeah, certainly,

549
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: fair enough. I'm not going to dispute that, but don't

550
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: tell me. He show me. And we're seeing a lot

551
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: of in action. And between now and the stadium construction commencing,

552
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: the as still have to finalize the series agreements with

553
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Stadium Authority, and they've got to reach

554
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: they've still got to obtain the permitting and financing to

555
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: begin construction, and that's all laid out in the Senate

556
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: bill one that you know that financed this public money.

557
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: Let's take it so long on that because we talked

558
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: about that Alan last June that this would only take

559
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: a few months, and now eight months later, that's still

560
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: not done either.

561
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's us go issue by issue. You know, I'm

562
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 8: just got about a minute now, sir Bernie. Yeah, so

563
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 8: we'll we'll wrap it up quickly. I'm not expecting too

564
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 8: much problems at the stadium board level. Candidly, keep in mind,

565
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 8: the chairman of our Las Vegas Stadium Board was the

566
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 8: same guy who literally lobbied for SB one, so he's

567
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 8: kind of running an affairs I don't think there'll be

568
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 8: much problem passing the various things in front of the

569
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 8: stadia board. But let's go to another issue you raised,

570
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 8: and that is funding and financing by the a's. I mean,

571
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 8: you have an owner, John Fisher, very controversial. He's spoken

572
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 8: only once to the public at this Chamber event in January,

573
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 8: and he's on the hook for one point one billion

574
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 8: dollars because you know, the project is one point five billion,

575
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 8: and you know, one of the things that did come

576
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 8: out of that chamber media scrum after his little speech

577
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 8: was that he is looking for investors. And you know,

578
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 8: let's face it, Bernie, if he's going to pour one

579
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 8: point one billion dollars, why didn't he just build the

580
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 8: stadium in Oakland and use the city of Oakland's four

581
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 8: hundred million dollars for.

582
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: Such a grand all and this is really good stuff.

583
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: We're going to have to pick this up and we

584
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: will do it again soon because there's it's a story

585
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: where questions are answered and more questions are raised by.

586
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 8: Allen Right, took one final thing, Bernie. The Athletics are

587

Speaker 8: be there, Oh Rights.

00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 2: the A's move to Vegas? Is it good for baseball?

617
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: Is it good for Las Vegas? Is it good for

618
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: the fans? Who's who's it good for? Or is it

619
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: not good for it? What are your thoughts? Don't pull back.

620
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: We like lots of disagreement. Here are the most boring

621
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 2: conversations when everybody agrees. Also the Midnight Hour, Caitlin Clark

622
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: is going pro. She's going to Ford Go for senior

623
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: season in Iowa. We would you buy a ticket to

624
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: see Caitlin Clark play by the way, is it mine imagination?

625
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: Is women's hoops superseding men's hoops? For now, there's a

626
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: bit of a fever frenzy about women's hoops, and particularly

627
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: cap and Clark, who is about to become the all

628
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: time leading scorer Saturday in college hoops and then includes

629
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: surpassing Pete Marivitch, the Great Pete Marrivitch, who. I know

630
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: that's an inefment to some people, but look, we're just

631
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: reporting facts here. You don't have to go crazy about

632
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: women should be compared to men or whether or not

633
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: there's a historical perspective where there's a context. Oh, come on,

634
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: she's really good, but don't compare now, shut up with that.

635
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: She's about to She's about to accomplish an achievement that

636
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 2: stood for what sixty years? Fifty years? And you're gonna

637
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: pooh poo it, Yeah, don't do that. Wnba is about

638
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: to get a major star who is likely gonna bring

639
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: even better ratings in better ticket sales. It's a bonanza

640
00:37:54,920 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 2: with her. They've already begun promoting their the fever. It's

641
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: assumed they're they'll draft her. They've already begun promoting their

642
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: season ticket sales on social media, and Clark will undottedly

643
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: earn the maximum salary your first year seventy four thousand,

644
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: and can eventually get up probably to two hundred and

645
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: fifty grand. Many have speculated she'll take a pay cut

646
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: from what she's making in college A comes Comsid's where

647
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 2: we're at, giving that her name, image and likeness deals

648
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: with major brands, you know, including Nike and Gatorade, which

649
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: we think amounts to around nine hundred grand a year. However,

650
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: you know it is likely eventually she's going to make

651
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: more money in the NBA than she did die with

652
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: because her salary add to the existing sponsorship. Those agreements

653
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 2: are reported to be for multiple years, and those relationships

654
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 2: will follow her into the pros. Why not so, Caitlyn

655
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: Clark is a brand like a Tani's a brand. She's

656
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: coming to the WNBA. Would you pay a ticket? Would

657
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: you buy a ticket to go see Caitlyn Clark? Now,

658
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: truth be told. When they come to play the La

659
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: l the Aces and I probably will get microdountry, but

660
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: I will. I'm just gonna tell you right now. I

661
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: would She's different and the Oakland A's well I'm gonna

662
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: actually get to see him here next Saturday at Big

663
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: League Weekend, which they have every year at the Triple

664

665

666
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: a truly iconic franchise that actually made the playoffs seven

667
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 2: of the last twelve years, and they're moving to Vegas

668

Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight, and there's still a lot of

669
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: questions your thoughts as to Vegas. Would you pay to

670
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: see Caitlin Clark play? Will you buy a ticket when

671
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,359

688
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: You can comment on either the A's Oakland, a situation

689
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: in Vegas, or which you pay to see Caitlin Clark

690
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: play either Now we're in the pros.

691
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 9: You got Bernie Burne I had, I had a sixth

692
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 9: sense we were gonna do this tonight, the week the

693
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 9: weekend of Katelin. I would most definitely pay. I'm not

694
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 9: going to pay five hundred bucks to go see her

695
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 9: at Iowa City for college game Day. But this is

696
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 9: the issue here. Okay, she is great. I mean, she

697
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 9: deserves all the acclaim that she is getting. But to

698
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 9: tell me that she is quote unquote breaking the record

699
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 9: of Nnette Woodard or pistol Pete Maravich is just ludicrous. Okay,

700
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 9: I mean she there was no shot clock. I was

701
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 9: I was an intent a child. I remember times no shotclock,

702
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 9: no three points. Nnette Woodard was.

703
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 10: So far off the horizon that she had to go

704
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 10: to the Harlem boat catters because no one knew what

705
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 10: to do with it, sort of like sort of like

706
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 10: Pistol Pete and I remember Roy Williams and Dean Smith

707
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 10: before the shot clock would stall for two to three

708
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 10: minutes and just kind of hold the ball and passed around.

709
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 10: So to compare, Kate Clark deserves everything she gets. She's fantastic, but.

710
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 9: To say that she is the equal of a Lynette

711
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 9: Woodard or Pistol Pete Mayri, which I hate to.

712
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 10: Be, old guy, get off my lawns.

713
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: But well you're not.

714
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: You're not stand alone, Stephen. Here's the situation. Here's why

715
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: Bill Russell said it best. We should never compare ghosts,

716
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: never compare eras they've done the you know, the graphics

717
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: situation with Pete Marrovitch, and they've determined that if he

718
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: had the three point line, he would have averaged fifty

719
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 2: eight points a game, and he did it in three years.

720
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: He did it like fifty games less than Caitlin Park. Yeah,

721
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: and I also agree with you, Stephen, that Woodard stands

722
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 2: on her own. But the reason this is a subject

723
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: matter tonight is because if you report it based on

724
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 2: its fact, and you acknowledge that there have been countless

725
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 2: players in the last fifty years that have had chances

726
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: to break these records and no one has done it,

727
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 2: that's where it's the story.

728
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 3: You got the last word right, right, And and there's

729
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: a there's a viable debate that Caitlin is not even

730
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 3: better than Vannette Water because, like you already have said,

731
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 3: if you make that.

732
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 10: Same comparison, Lynette Wodard would have probably been averaging forty

733
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 10: points a game or forty eight because the same rules

734
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 10: were in application when Pistol Pete was playing. So I mean,

735
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 10: give her, give her all the flowers, give her everything

736
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 10: she deserves. But let's just let's just back off about comparison.

737
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 10: So she's got the all time NTA.

738
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 9: Member, God God bless her.

739
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 10: But but Lynnette Woodard and Pistol Pete have had something

740
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 10: have something separate.

741
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: So thank you, good stuff, good good stuff. As always, Steven,

742
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: it's good to a guy. Emmett from Olympia. Emmant which

743
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: subject you want to talk about tonight?

744
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 11: And you talk about both Bernie Frido, Man, how are

745
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 11: you feeling?

746
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm better, man, I mean a day eight, day seven

747
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: of antibiotics, So I'm getting there.

748
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 11: Nice man, I mean glad to hear it. But I'll

749
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 11: talk about both these things, starting with, you know, the

750
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 11: Caitlyn Clark thing. I mean, I like, obviously seeing her

751
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 11: isn't really any different from me compared to like listening

752
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 11: on TV. I mean, I do like like the authentic

753
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 11: going to the game experience. So like, if she's in

754
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 11: my area and the chickens or tickets are cheap, I

755
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 11: mean grab, you know, I me and a couple of

756
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 11: the boys, we go out.

757
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 12: And see it.

758
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, why not? I mean what she's done for the

759
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 11: women's game is incredible. I mean you have people who

760
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 11: normally are just clowning on women's sports as a whole,

761
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 11: tuning in for Caitlyn Clark and you know, watching her highlights.

762
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 11: So I think she's giving the you know, NCAA women's

763
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 11: side of things, you know, a bunch of press in

764
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 11: a good way, obviously, you know. I mean why not

765
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 11: why not support that? And I mean she's not dislikable either, too.

766
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 11: I mean, I mean I think she's a cool person

767
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 11: and to go over to the Oakland A's side of things. Now,

768
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 11: it's like I can look at this in a couple

769
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 11: of ways, because like it's going to be a lot

770
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 11: more money for like the MLB and them as a

771
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 11: franchise taking them, you know, over to Vegas. But you

772
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 11: got a feel for the people in the Bay Area.

773
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 11: I mean, you guys have have lost the Raiders, you know,

774
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 11: you lost your Raiders to Vegas. And then the Warriors

775
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 11: that they're not where they like you're a fan, Like

776
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 11: they're not even in Oakland anymore. That you be in

777
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 11: Oakland now or not. So you're losing all You're losing

778
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 11: all these teams and I get that, you know, the

779
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 11: Oakland Stadium isn't the best. I've heard that before, so

780
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 11: like they kind of want to relocate and do all this.

781
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 11: But if you're like the like the city of Oakland

782
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 11: and you know, like the politicians there and you know

783
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 11: the people you are, you better fight to keep the A's.

784
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 11: You know, they're in Oakland. This is the one thing

785
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 11: you have. And yeah, they've been you know, not very

786
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 11: good the past couple of years, but like you said,

787
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 11: they've done a lot, you know, in the playoffs there.

788
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 11: They're a very successful franchise, even though you know they're

789
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 11: my division rivals being a manor fans, but anyways, you know,

790
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 11: to go on, they're very successful. So I think this

791
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 11: is a huge thing for you know, Bay Area and Oakland.

792
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 11: You know people. This needs to get fought and I

793
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 11: think they need to do whatever they can to keep

794
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 11: them in Oakland. I mean, whether that's.

795
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: They've had twenty years, buddy, they've had twenty years. So good,

796
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: good stuff is always appreciate, you man. I want to

797
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 2: make sure everybody gets in tonight eight seven, seven ninety

798
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 2: nine on Fox Mike from the Bay Area. I bet

799
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 2: I can guess what you want to talk about tonight.

800
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 13: Hey, what's up?

801
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 3: Funny?

802
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 13: I love I love it when you're on the weekend trad.

803
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to talk about the A's.

804
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 13: And you know, lifelong as fan, you know family season tickets, you.

805
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 3: Know, love the A's.

806
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 13: But you know, all good things come to an end.

807
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go see them in Vegas.

808
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 13: This will be a fun three day weekend for me

809
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 13: to go get a series in. But I wish I

810
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 13: wish it'd say I'd like them to be here, but

811
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 13: I think Oakland has.

812
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 3: Lost in capacity to facilitate major sports, right.

813
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 14: Everybody else has already left, and I.

814
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: Think it's inevitable.

815
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 3: Right.

816
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 15: So it's sad, and I got myself T shirt at

817
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 15: the coliseum and I'd love them to stay, but it

818
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 15: just doesn't seem.

819
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: So Mike, you're you're you're pragmatic, and that's that's pretty cool,

820
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: and a lot of fans aren't. Why did the waterfront

821
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: you know, what was really the the the ndemically is

822
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: that caused the waterfront project to just completely collapse.

823
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 15: I would I would give a shout out to my

824
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 15: boy Brody Brazil to see his video on that.

825
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 13: I'm not not in the position to make a great comment.

826
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 16: But Brody Brodie's YouTube channel is a pretty awesome I

827
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 16: think that I just don't think that behind the scenes,

828
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 16: I don't think that the people with the money, the

829
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 16: people that really influence what happens in the city, believe

830
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 16: that it's economically viable long term. And so my uninformed

831
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 16: opinion is that those projects all fell apart.

832
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 13: Santase the Major League Baseball people killed Fremont.

833
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 15: I just don't think that there is enough of a

834
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 15: ground swell right, the guy that's here, the Giants.

835
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 13: The Giants have a very dominant uh you know, the

836
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 13: dominant base.

837
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, so I just don't think the business people

838
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 12: see it as viable.

839
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 13: Honestly, I think it's the numbers thing.

840
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 3: I do enough.

841
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 2: Good call, I appreciate you. Don't be a stranger. Let's

842
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: go to another Mike. Mike from the great state of Maine. Mike,

843
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 2: h what's up tonight?

844
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 17: She is a great state. Thank you for that.

845
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 2: I remember the seeing the black main Black Bears baseball

846
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: team play when they had Billy Swift.

847
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 10: Oh man, I don't know about that, but I don't.

848
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 10: I don't even care about Maine hockey.

849
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 2: So okaya, still the Black Bears, right, yeah?

850
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 18: Yeah?

851
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 17: And uh you know our our our, I mean, our

852
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 17: status in the United States is very like unpopular. No

853
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 17: one knows what this is.

854
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 2: But beautiful state. I've been there, big trees. I haven't

855
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: really been there, Yes I have, Well which part banger

856
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 2: or where? And also by where the camp is?

857
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

858
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 17: Yeah, it is actually really nice anyway. Uh so I'm

859
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 17: a Link fan, you sweet from Minnesota. Okay, so I'm

860
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 17: a TIMBERLF fan. Obviously, I'm Minnesota fans through and through anyway,

861
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 17: we got simoone Augustus and then four years later we

862
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 17: got Maya Moor. Okay, so it all came together one

863
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 17: on one. Basically we got the two best players in

864
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,959
Speaker 17: the league for the next five years after that. These

865
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 17: players impacted so soon. Okay, so we got the Indiana

866
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 17: Fever team that has.

867
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: And you draft to draft Caitlin Clark. Correct, Yeah, they've

868
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: already been begun the ticket campaigns.

869
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 17: We wanted to win it in the next two years,

870
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 17: no matter what it is. I mean, like, it happens quick.

871
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 17: That's that's what the w NB is like. You have

872
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 17: those Polish players. It's like, boom, boom boom. It happened

873
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 17: at least for being in the finals against the Sparks. Whoever,

874
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 17: it doesn't matter, but whatever. So Cheryl reeve right now

875
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 17: with the with the links, we're kind of struggling because

876
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 17: we're now we went past that phase of Augustus by

877
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 17: a more. We had Linday Whalen uh McCarville, who came

878
00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 17: from the Gophers.

879
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: You know, she wasn't US, but.

880
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 17: Minnesota is a bevy of basketball talent and I was

881
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 17: right next to that. And so this is this is

882
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 17: what happens here in this in this Midwest area. We

883
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 17: have these people. So she's not gonna get Ni L

884
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 17: money obviously, but she's needs State Farm money. That was fine,

885
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 17: and then she's gonna add everything on top of that.

886
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 17: So people that are staying like nil, she should say no,

887
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 17: so stay with State Farm and then she'll add on

888
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 17: top of that and then she'll get her salars from the.

889
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 3: W n b A.

890
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: So so would you would you pay to see her?

891
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 14: Obviously?

892
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, she was, she was here on Wednesday.

893
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 17: I just you know, you know me, you know what

894
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 17: those tickets costed.

895
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 2: Like I've heard in the that's just to get in

896
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 2: the front door. That's just to get in the front door.

897
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 2: I heard his for him.

898
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unbelievable.

899
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 17: I mean, like she's gonna change everything.

900
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 3: And Maya more.

901
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 17: Honestly is should be the one that that changed everything

902
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 17: because she did so many things and aspects we all

903
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 17: know that. But Cale and Clark is an absolute flame thrower,

904
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 17: Like she's going to change everything. When we team we're

905

00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 2: she intended Minnesota Lynx games since she was a kid.

00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: And when you look at the Lakes Feever in Chicago sky,

00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 2: great age seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.

928
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: Give us a call, be part of the action. Back

929
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: to the phone lines, Troy from the Bar Area. Thanks

930
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: for hanging Troy. What are your thoughts tonight?

931
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 19: Thanks for having me? Uh yeah, big as fan here.

932
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 19: I just what's happening here in Oakland is just absolutely

933
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 19: heart wrenching.

934
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 3: And it's just I can't.

935
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 19: Believe MLB is letting this happen overall. I mean, it's

936
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 19: just don stop.

937
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 2: They're like encouraging it, Troy. They gave not to jump on,

938
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 2: but no there you know you mentioned you can't believe

939
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball's allowing it. They're encouraging Rob Manfred is

940
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 2: waving the relocation fee go ahead.

941
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 19: Absolutely, And I mean it's crazy because Oakland got four

942
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 19: hundred and fifty million dollars raised for a new stadium.

943
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 19: The A's own half the coliseum's fight, and their ownership

944
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 19: deal with the fight was that that was supposed to

945
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 19: be planned b if they didn't have the money to

946
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 19: build the Howard Terminal site. Them saying they don't have

947
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 19: an option here in Oakland and the Bay Area is

948
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 19: just a blot.

949
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 2: Out live right now if you do the math. I

950
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: was told that actually Oakland offer them more to stay.

951
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: Is that true? Yeah, I've been three hundred and eighty

952
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: million to come to Vegas.

953
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 19: Go ahead, Yeah, three eighty to Vegas. Four point fifty

954
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 19: already raised, with potentially some more in line coming soon.

955
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 2: Troy, good stuff. We're going to continue to cover this story.

956
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna have Alan back on next Saturday night.

957
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: The A's will be here in town. We're gonna have

958
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: a chance to talk to Dave Caball. I might not,

959
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: but I appreciate you checking in, man, and don't be stranger.

960
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: Durant from Oakland. You're up next to your thoughts.

961
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, actually echo the same sentiment as the previous caller.

962
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 20: You know, lifelong A's fan. It's just heartbreaking, you know.

963
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 20: I mean there's a lot of fabrication out there, you know,

964
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 20: with with the A's saying that the you know, the

965
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 20: city of Oakland didn't really give them an option. That's

966
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 20: absolutely not the case.

967
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: You know.

968
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 20: I've I've actually been to some city council meetings myself.

969
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 20: The mayor has been outspoken about it. They want to

970
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 20: keep the A's here, and there is a very viable

971
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 20: option for it. You know, it's just about crossing the

972
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 20: t's and dotting the eyes and for whatever reason, John

973
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 20: Fisher just doesn't want to do that, and you know,

974
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 20: he's just, you know, he's just going for that Vegas money. Basically,

975
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 20: he really doesn't want to stay here. And you know,

976
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 20: it's it's pretty clear that this entire time he was

977
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 20: using Oakland as leverage to get into Las Vegas. And so,

978
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 20: you know, personally, I'm at the point where I don't

979
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 20: know if I can sport this team anymore because they

980
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 20: turned the back, they turn their back on the city

981
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 20: of Oakland. You know, I'm actually considering rooting for the

982
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 20: Giants now. It's not me to that point, So that's all.

983
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 2: No one can blame me. I appreciate the call, and

984
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: of course they'll they'll play in Oakland this year, and

985
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 2: I'm of the belief that cooler heads will have to

986
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 2: prevail and they'll play in Oakland in twenty five, twenty six,

987
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: and twenty seven as well. You've got to have at

988
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: least a major league facility from the standpoint of attendance possibilities,

989
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 2: and they're not going to play here in Vegas when

990
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 2: it's one hundred and nine and there's no no roof.

991
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: Kyle from Las Vegas. What are your thoughts tonight, buddy?

992
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 12: What's going on? Bernie? It sounds a lot better than

993
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 12: last weekend.

994
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 2: That's no One, great hope.

995
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 12: Glad to have you back in full shape, brothers.

996
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 2: Thank you sir.

997
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 12: That's the first thing. Second thing is, I think a

998
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 12: lot of people that are going to comment on the

999
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 12: Caitlin Clarks question that you pose don't watch enough of

1000
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 12: the basketball to even make a relevant or a great

1001
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,720
Speaker 12: comment towards it, because they're just seeing clips and highlights

1002
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 12: of what ESPN and Fox Sports shows, so they don't

1003
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 12: really watch the game too much. And I'm not going

1004
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 12: to make a comment on it either because I don't

1005
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 12: watch her. So with that being said, with the Oakland

1006
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 12: A's coming to Vegas, I really do not agree with it.

1007
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 12: I think it's a bad move. Number one, the location

1008
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 12: going towards the Strip is going to cause a traffic nightmare.

1009
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 12: Already a traffic nightmare on the Strip as it is,

1010
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 12: unless they're building a stadium for indoor play. I don't

1011
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 12: see none of these guys wanting to play here in July, August,

1012
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 12: September when it's one hundred and fifteen, one hundred and

1013
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 12: seventeen degrees outside. That's number two. Number three, The Vegas

1014
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 12: people have footed so many bills within the past five

1015
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 12: to ten years for all the arenas that are being built,

1016
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 12: and we've only had one actual sports team, two sports

1017
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 12: teams here with the Oakland Rudders and the Vegas Golden Knight.

1018
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 12: With that being said, I think it's just a money

1019
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 12: hustle at this point to try to get as many

1020
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 12: teams here and to get betting across the country to

1021
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 12: a point where it's relevant and legal. Honestly, it's a

1022
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 12: bad move. They should stay in Oakland, find a place

1023
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 12: in California's beautiful there. They have plenty of they have

1024
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 12: plenty of to put by places. And I agree with

1025
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 12: the other callers. If they could find a way to

1026
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 12: do it, then do it. Why put another bill towards

1027
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 12: Vegas and the residents that live here when we already

1028
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 12: have paid so much on the back end of taxes

1029
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 12: to get Formula one, to get the baseball, to get basketball,

1030
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 12: which is probably going to happen within the next five

1031
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 12: to ten years anyways, with the expansions that's supposed to

1032
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 12: be coming. So it's just way too much money being

1033
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 12: shelled out to these major league organizations when they can

1034
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 12: put the build themselves and pay for these stadiums.

1035
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: You're not wrong at any point you've made any thoughts

1036
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 2: on well, okay, you know what, I would just say

1037
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: this be next week because uh, you brought up a

1038
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: good point, and the subtext is, how do we know

1039
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 2: this is really gonna work? Right? It's it'll have to

1040
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: be a dome stadium. It'll see thirty three thousand, and

1041
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 2: it's one thing when Pittsburgh Steeler flann Steeler fans want

1042
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 2: to come in for a Raiders game and make it

1043
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 2: a party. But for a three game series Tuesday to Thursday.

1044
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, and I think it's gonna be

1045
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 2: lactly I do.

1046
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 12: I do have one question for you, though, Okay, would

1047
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 12: you would you would you bring back roller Derby to

1048
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 12: the mainstream line of sports women's roller Derby over w

1049
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 12: n B A, Which which one are you going to?

1050
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 2: Oh? Boy, see I know about roller Derby. That that

1051
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 2: that's a good say say in Boston, that's a wicked pisser.

1052
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a's a hell of an event.

1053
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: Only because of what I've seen the aces and the

1054
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 2: excitement they've created it with back to back championships and

1055
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 2: the Caitlin Clark phenomenon. I would I would give the

1056
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 2: slight edge to the double U NBA, But if you'd

1057
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 2: asked me that question two years ago, might have had

1058
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: a different story for you. Good stuff, Kyle, you have yourself.

1059
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 12: Good morning.

1060
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 2: Next, my man sportsmaniac from Orlando. There's a there's an

1061
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: original name. What do you got for a sports maniac?

1062
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 3: Hey?

1063
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 18: Yeah, I am actually kind of on the same kind

1064
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 18: of energy as the last caller talking about uh this

1065
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 18: Kaitlyn Clark uh story I have. I'm interested in the

1066
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 18: idea of a great player who is rising. I'm not

1067
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 18: entirely sure I know enough about the w n B

1068
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 18: A for example, is is is the draft sort of

1069
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 18: the same style as as any other professional sports?

1070
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? Pretty much pretty much.

1071
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 18: She's the number one pick. She's going to go to

1072
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 18: some crappy team.

1073
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: Well there, well here's the deal, just just real quickly.

1074
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 2: She's going to go to the Indiana Fever. They're down

1075
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: right now. They won the championship ten years ago, but

1076
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 2: they're only averaging about four thousand fans a game, and

1077
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: they'll she'll double it to eight thousand. So go ahead,

1078
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 2: would you would you pay to see here?

1079
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 18: Now that's where I'm saying. I'm I'm not I'm not

1080
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 18: trying to knock it. I'm just saying it's hard. It's

1081
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 18: hard enough for me to buy in the basketball. I

1082
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 18: just happen to now be living in Orlando. And I

1083
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 18: liked the story of Orlando when I was living in

1084
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 18: Philadelphia more than the Sixers at the time because they

1085
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 18: had Shack and Penny. And so now I'm living in Orlando,

1086
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 18: I'm only a Orlando Magic fan. It's my only Florida

1087
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 18: team because every other team I'm a Philadelphia fan. But

1088
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 18: I never really knew much. Does Philadelphia even have a

1089
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 18: w NBA team, because Orlando does it. So I really

1090
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 18: have no connection to.

1091
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 2: To your earlier point. The draft is going to be

1092
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 2: held on Monday, April fifteenth, so not that far away.

1093
01:00:55,560 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Fans will be in attendance and U and I think

1094
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: it'll be on ESPN and by the way, for and

1095
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 2: but I appreciate, appreciate your cars, sports Maniac check in

1096
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 2: again and for those as as Kyle mentioned, he's only

1097
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 2: seen snippets of of Caitlin. If you want to see

1098
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 2: her in a in a game situation. They host Iowa,

1099
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 2: a host's Ohio State this Sunday tip office ten am

1100

Speaker 2: here local on the West Coast one pm Pacific on Sunday.

1101
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 2: And it's significant because she's expected to break the record

1102
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 2: in that game and it's against Ohio State. Remember just

1103
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 2: three weeks ago Ohio State upset Iowa and that's when

1104
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 2: they rushed the court and she had a whirling driviish

1105
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: Kurt from California, Hang on there, Bill from Jacksonville, We're

1106
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 2: going right to you next. But first we got to

01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest Bernie.

1108
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 6: Friday Night in the NBA, the Clippers a mollywop the Wizards,

1109
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,840

01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 6: straight wins there for the GSW hoops, thirty two points

1120
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 6: for Jason Tatum, and a one thirty eight to one

1122
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 6: thirty seven point triple double from Luka Doncic. You also

1123
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 6: had victories from Philadelphia, Portland, and Cleveland. In Major League Baseball,

1124
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 6: ESPN reporting that All star third baseman Matt Chapman has

1125
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 6: agreed to a three year, fifty four million dollar contract

1126

Speaker 6: Arkansas State.

1131
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Fredo.

1132
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm curious, Kevin, did Sister Jean rush the floor after

1133
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: the Loyal and merrymount.

1134
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 5: She was the first one on the floor. Are you

1135
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 5: kidding me?

1136
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing? I love it.

1137
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 5: A single player from that Leola Chicago run from years ago.

1138
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 5: But we all know sister Jean, how crazy is that?

1139
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely what she's like one hundred and four now something

1140
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 2: like that. Believe so going strong right, good stuff, Kevin, Buddy,

1141
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 2: all right, back out to the full LINEE Kurt from California.

1142
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 2: Always interesting. I got a couple of subjects here for

1143
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 2: you to tackle. Which one you want to take or both.

1144
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 3: I would go to see miss Clark being a sports fan.

1145
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 3: I like talent. I like to watch talent. I remember

1146
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 3: putting her in the same sentence as Pistol the average,

1147
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 3: the average forty four points a game. He scored fifty

1148
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 3: twenty six times, and he scored sixty nine against Alabama

1149
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 3: when he was at LSU. She's got to do some

1150
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 3: more before you put her in the same said, hold.

1151
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 2: That thought, Kurt, stand on the line, because that's part

1152
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 2: of the narrative here in the in the echo chamber.

1153
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 2: And Stephen from Kansas City, one of our earlier callers,

1154
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 2: pointed that out as well. And I think you've probably

1155
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 2: seen the reports where they've done the graphics long before

1156
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,919
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark came along that if they'd had the three pointer,

1157
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 2: he did an average fifty eight points the game. Well,

1158
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 2: I agree, comparing Caitlin to Pistol Pete just in general

1159
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 2: terms is a bit of an enough. But she's breaking

1160
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 2: a record that's been held for fifty years, and thousands

1161
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 2: and countless of athletes have had the same opportunity and

1162
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 2: none of them could do it. So can you hold

1163
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 2: two thoughts concurrently?

1164
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 3: Well, sure, yeah, I think she at least deserves that

1165
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 3: kind of accolade for that kind of accomplishment. Sure, But

1166
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 3: getting to the Oakland age, Okay, I think that there's

1167
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 3: an obstacle here. Major League Baseball is the only major

1168
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 3: league order in America that is exempt from the nineteen

1169
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 3: thirty six Sherman at Anti.

1170
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 2: Truck I trust, right, And you know why, right, Kurt, Yes,

1171
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 2: because they subsidized minor league teams go ahead.

1172
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 3: They're considered. From what I understand, baseball is considered what

1173
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 3: would you call it, What's like the All Star Game?

1174
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 3: It's a it's anyway. My point is is that they

1175
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 3: if the commissioner doesn't want to have Oakland in Oakland,

1176
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 3: he can say no. So what has to happen is

1177
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 3: is that Congress has to determine that baseball is actually

1178
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 3: an interstate commerce business. However, because they're not from my understanding,

1179
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 3: I could be wrong. Because they're not considered interstate commerce

1180
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 3: as a business, they're exempt from that act. So if

1181
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 3: the commissioner doesn't want the Oakland A's to be in California,

1182
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 3: he can say no. And so the people from Oakland

1183
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 3: need to get behind and write people in Congress and

1184
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 3: or the Court and say, you know what, we don't

1185
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 3: think they We think baseball is an interstate commerce business.

1186
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 3: That's the point growing.

1187
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 2: Up a good point. It's a high falutin point. You're

1188
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 2: not wrong. It's been challenged in the past, and Baseball

1189
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 2: has roundly stated that if they were to ever lose

1190
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 2: their Sherman Anti Trust exemption, they would no longer be

1191
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: willing to subsidize Major league or check that minor league

1192
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 2: baseball franchises, and so therefore the minor leagues as we

1193
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 2: know it would go away. And they've kind of held

1194
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 2: that over Major League Baseball and Congress.

1195
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 14: Start their current league.

1196
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can start to all leagues minor league baseball

1197
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 3: if all of a sudden.

1198
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 10: Wells exactly, yeah, Well think that they want.

1199
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 3: To do that. Interest is the court is they want

1200
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 3: somebody to go and fight this because baseball is not

1201
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 3: just a carnival or I'm trying to think of a

1202
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 3: word burning.

1203
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 14: I can't.

1204
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 2: There's a term it has to do with. You could

1205
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 2: google it. I know what you're talking about, but it's

1206
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 2: a special classification which they qualify on it. But as usual,

1207
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 2: good stuff, Kurt. We'll talk to you again. Back to

1208
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 2: the phone lines. Bill from Jacksonville, thanks for your patients tonight.

1209
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 2: What would you like to talk about?

1210
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 14: First of all, start off with a Caton Clark. I

1211
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 14: grew up in the Willish reed Well Praise of the

1212
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 14: Year when basketball was basketball, not the way it is today.

1213
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 14: I can't stand it. I've stopped watching it for ten

1214
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 14: years now. But she's put back fresh air to breathe

1215
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 14: the game of basketball again. But she brought into it.

1216
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 14: She's genuine, she's real. I pay take it every night

1217
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 14: to watch her play, and I don't care about points

1218
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 14: and records and all that kind of stuff. And I

1219
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 14: just like the idea of the way she's put back

1220
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 14: to the game of basketball, not just for the women,

1221
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 14: for all of basketball, because she's a genuine person and

1222
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 14: a great player.

1223
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 2: Well, I agree. Any thoughts on the.

1224
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 14: Sports they sat on our hands way too long. They

1225
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 14: had to do something way back when, and they didn't.

1226
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 14: I didn't want to start complaining when somebody comes in

1227
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 14: and takes him out of the air at start problem.

1228
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 14: They can think and stick it for all I care.

1229
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 14: Going to Vegas. It's fabulous to make Juleague baseball.

1230
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.

1231
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 3: Well.

1232
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 14: I just got to keep going in that direction. It's

1233
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 14: not gonna go back to Oakland. I don't care how

1234
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 14: much money and how much crap they want to pull

1235
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 14: on it. It's gonna stay in Vegas. It's gonna be FANTASTICA.

1236
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 2: It'll be fun to watch either way. A good good call, Bill,

1237
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 2: and I will tell you there. I know there's a

1238
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 2: lot of covetching and teeth natching, but opening day of

1239
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, I I you bet I'll be there

Speaker 2: the visiting team's coming to town coming up. I want

1243
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 2: to bring in the crew as well. I want to

1244
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 2: hear what Kevin and and She have to say about

1245

01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 2: to see Caitlyn Clark play? And your thoughts on the

1257
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 2: Oakland A's coming to Vegas? Kevin Figures. What are your

1258
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 2: thoughts on tonight's subject matter?

1259
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 6: Oh, I'd absolutely Kaitlin Clark play. That's She's ridiculous. She's

1260
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 6: must see TV or must see in person. No different

1261
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 6: than Steph Curry, who she admitted was she was inspired

1262
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 6: by when she was a kid growing up. And for

1263
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 6: a lot of people who are I don't want to

1264
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 6: take shots at anybody and call them old fogies and

1265
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 6: say that this is in basketball or you can't compare

1266
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 6: it to what Pistol Pete did and yes he did

1267
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 6: all of that without a three point line, granted, but

1268
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 6: this is where you know basketball is today and things

1269
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 6: you know, things change, rules change, NFL records are much

1270
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 6: different nowadays. Guys are throwing for five thousand yards routinely.

1271
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,679
Speaker 6: And are we going to say that Drew Brees' records

1272
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 6: don't count because he played now and he didn't play

1273
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 6: back in the nineteen sixties and seventies and eighties. When

1274
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 6: you can beat receivers up, things change, rules change, and

1275
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 6: that's exactly where it is now. And she's absolutely dominating

1276
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 6: at the highest level or for women's basketball at this

1277
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 6: point in time. So I will not take anything away

1278
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 6: from her if she ends up breaking the all time record.

1279
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 6: I think it's great for women's basketball, it's great for

1280
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 6: basketball in general, and she must see basketball for me.

1281
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 2: To your point, and you make an apt one, let's

1282
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 2: take Roger Marrison, Babe, Ruth Maris broke the record. There's

1283
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 2: an asterisk because you got to play a one hundred

1284
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: and sixty two games versus one hundred and fifty four,

1285
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 2: but it doesn't diminish the accomplishment, especially in the record

1286
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 2: held for thirty four years. So Caitlin Clark is breaking

1287
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 2: a record or whatever. How are you want to deem

1288
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 2: it that's held steady for fifty years when multiple other

1289
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: notable athletes have had a chance to break it and

1290
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 2: didn't do it. So I think if you allow it

1291
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 2: on a standalone basis, I think it's more palatable. Your

1292
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Oakland Adas coming.

1293
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 5: To Vegas, Yeah, I think well, uber one.

1294
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 6: I just think it's unfortunate for the city of Oakland

1295
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 6: to basically have their sports are ripped out from them.

1296
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 6: Basically they're losing everything they've had over the course of

1297
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 6: a six year period, where if you're talking about the Raiders,

1298
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 6: the A's and the Warriors as well, but they have

1299
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 6: no one to blame for them but themselves when it

1300
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 6: comes to the politics surrounding Oakland Alameda. I feel terrible

1301
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 6: for the fans, but unfortunately, and in many of these situations,

1302
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,560
Speaker 6: you know how it goes when it comes to politics,

1303
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 6: that's ultimately the reason why the team has to end

1304
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 6: up moving. And I know the mayor of Las Vegas,

1305
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 6: who doesn't necessarily preside over Clark County, said they should

1306
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 6: stay in Oakland and all that, and not like she

1307
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 6: doesn't have an agenda of her own because she'd rather

1308
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 6: they be in her district and not there. So I

1309
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 6: do think overall it's just unfortunate for the city of Oakland.

1310
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 6: But it's at this situation, or at this point in time,

1311
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 6: it's really just inevitable. And anybody talking about the fact

1312
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 6: that it's not going to happen, I think are just

1313
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:48,719
Speaker 6: blowing smoke.

1314
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 5: It's inevitable.

1315
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's going to happen. It just feels odd

1316
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: and it's cadence. And how when you compare it to

1317
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 2: other stadiums being built or whatever the case may be,

1318
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 2: the nomenclature, everything seems to be different, right, It's just not.

1319
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 2: But to your point, you could even draw a parallel, Kevin,

1320
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 2: the Oakland Raiders left twice for the same reason it

1321
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 2: couldn't get a stadium. Al Davis left in the eighties

1322
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 2: and went to la because he couldn't get a stadium,

1323
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 2: went back with the promise of a stadium, and then

1324
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 2: they left here for Las Vegas again. So you kind

1325
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 2: of see a pattern developing here. And I'm going to

1326
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 2: keep an open mind. I am not implying that it

1327
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 2: won't work when the a's get here, but much different

1328
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 2: than say the Vegas Golden Knights or the Vegas Aces,

1329
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,440
Speaker 2: or certainly the Raiders. The A's kind of showed up unannounced,

1330
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 2: hat and handed, uninvited. So it's gonna there's a dynamic

1331
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 2: here and a lot of teachers unions are upset else

1332
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:50,919
Speaker 2: thing else you want to say about either think Kevin.

1333
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 6: No, you're right, and I just I just wonder, and you,

1334
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 6: you know, living in the Vegas market, you can speak

1335
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 6: to it as much as anyone.

1336
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 5: It's one thing to you know, have an attraction.

1337
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 6: You know, eight games a year or nine games a year,

1338
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 6: whatever it turns out being a fewer for the Raiders

1339
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 6: coming in just you know, eighty semi games for a

1340
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 6: baseball team that's been well below average for the better

1341
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 6: part of a decade is a tough sell in Las

1342
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 6: Vegas in the summer time when they're playing the bulk

1343
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 6: of their games and people would rather be out in

1344
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 6: the strip doing their thing. I just think it'll be

1345
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 6: a very difficult sell unless they can put a winning

1346
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 6: product on the field immediately like the Golden Knights did,

1347
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 6: and this ownership group has not shown the ability to

1348
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 6: do that for a long period of time.

1349
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 5: So I'm interested to see what that's going to look like.

1350
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 2: I agree on all points. Let's go back out to

1351
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 2: the phone lines. Andrew from a Bakersfield You're up next.

1352
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 2: What you got for us tonight?

1353
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 21: Hey, Bernie, how's it going good?

1354
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:39,520
Speaker 2: Thanks?

1355
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,719
Speaker 21: So I missed your intro to the call in segment,

1356
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 21: but I wanted to make a comment. I just always

1357
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 21: remember the Raiders playing on a field that has the

1358
01:14:56,200 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 21: baseball infield dirt on. That's right, and it was. It's

1359
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 21: just absolutely ridiculous to me that in this day and

1360
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 21: age they couldn't put a good stadium so that the

1361
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 21: football players didn't have to scrape their elbows and stuff

1362
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 21: on the dirt.

1363
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 2: You bring up a really good point, you say, in

1364
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 2: this day and age, you're not wrong because there are

1365
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 2: no multipurpose stadiums anymore. It's a thing of the past.

1366
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 2: So another thing was Caitlin Clark. Would you pay your good,

1367
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 2: hard earned money to see Caitlin Clark? Would you buy

1368
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 2: tickets to see Kaitlyn Clark play?

1369
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 21: I missed. I don't know very much about her, so

1370
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:38,959
Speaker 21: I can't.

1371
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 2: Really a big deal. That's how de tells, wouldn't need

1372
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 2: anything else.

1373
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 21: Uh No, that's it.

1374
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 2: Thank you, all right, thanks for checking in, Shay. Let's

1375
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on both subjects tonight. First, Caitlin Clark,

1376
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 2: would you pay to see your play? And of course

1377
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 2: the other situation is is the Oakland aage to Vegas

1378
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 2: which is going to be a story for the next

1379
01:15:58,680 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 2: five years.

1380
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 3: I don't.

1381
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 7: I don't think i'd pay to see Kitlen Clark. I'd

1382
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 7: probably only pay to see her like break our record

1383
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 7: or something like that, but I wouldn't like pay to

1384
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 7: see her just play like a random game.

1385
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 2: I don't.

1386
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't care enough. I mean I barely even

1387
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 7: go to Laker games enough because so it's like do

1388
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 7: I yeah, it's not something.

1389
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 2: How about this is a highly charred situation. Yeah, but

1390
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 2: if people understand the eighth history, you can't have this

1391
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 2: conversation without including their history.

1392
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 7: And we've been having this conversation ever since we first

1393
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 7: heard about it a couple of months ago, and it's

1394
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 7: something that we've been talking about even during when they

1395
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 7: were playing and they were they were so bad during

1396
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 7: the season and it was just you could see it

1397
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 7: in their faces. Everyone was demotivated. Demotivate was the big word.

1398
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 7: Everyone was talking about while they were playing, and it

1399
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 7: was so sad to see and it was basically like

1400
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 7: the they just keep stabbing the fan base in the

1401
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 7: chest and they just keep twisting the knife, it seems like.

1402
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 7: And and I really don't think there's anything the fan

1403
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 7: base can do for like the Oakland A's fan base

1404
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 7: at least can do, Like there really is nothing they

1405
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 7: can do, and it sucks. It's like as a fan,

1406
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 7: like they're getting screwed over. And one of the callers said,

1407
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 7: he's he's thinking about becoming a Giants fan, so then

1408
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 7: like as a Dodger fan, that hurts me, you know,

1409
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 7: like the more Giants fan, the worse for me. But

1410
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 7: it's it's it's it's crazy to just like have a

1411
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 7: fan base just blatantly not in a fan base, but

1412
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 7: having an organization just not care that their fan base

1413
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 7: is just leaving them and they're just like I don't

1414
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 7: know what they're gonna gain in Vegas also, like other

1415
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 7: than obviously the betting and the market, but other than that,

1416
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 7: like you already have a fan base, you had the money,

1417
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 7: Like it's yeah, there might be more opportunities, but the

1418
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 7: world's just getting smaller and betting's getting legalized everywhere. I mean,

1419
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 7: there's ways to bet now. Like I just think that

1420
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 7: it's it was a stretch. I definitely think it was

1421
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 7: a stretch, and I feel bad for the fan base overall.

1422
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 2: Fair enough only the owner, John Fisher. I didn't leave

1423
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 2: you enough time, Mark, but I'd like to hear your

1424
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 2: thoughts on this.

1425
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 22: Since I have a choice, I would pay for roller

1426
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 22: Derby instead of going to other basketball games. And the

1427
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 22: history behind the Oakland A's I was telling Shay, they

1428
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 22: have so much history to when they were good versus

1429
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:16,560
Speaker 22: what they are now. It's so sad that the fans

1430
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 22: are possibly gonna lose their baseball team.

1431
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 5: That's just a sad part about.

1432
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 2: It, especially on the Heels losing the Raiders. All right,

1433
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 2: good stuff coming up. College football is about to do

1434
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 2: what I'll give you the details. Just when we thought

1435
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 2: we had a playoff, they're already changing their mind. And

1436
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 2: now five plus seven is going to now be known

1437
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 2: as three plus three plus three plus two plus two

1438
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 2: plus one. Are you kidding me? I'm going to pick

1439

1458
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 2: huge win for you guys. Welcome the new one on

1459
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 2: six point one The Ticket in New Orleans to the

1460
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 2: Foxsports Radio family. I didn't really have any intention of

1461
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 2: even referencing college football tonight. But a report is circulating

1462
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:13,799
Speaker 2: now that I actually find bothersome We just reported recently

1463
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 2: that the new fourteen team model, which is good for

1464
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 2: the next two years at least we know we're having met,

1465
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,640
Speaker 2: looks intriguing to me. It looks much better to me.

1466
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 2: It's championship based. It will reward the schools that win

1467
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 2: their conferences, and should you be one of the highest

1468
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 2: ranked of the four Power five conferences, well you'll even

1469
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 2: get a buy. And they so they call it to

1470
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 2: five plus seven. It's a month long tournament that will

1471
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 2: commence on December twentieth and will terminate on January twentieth,

1472
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 2: which coincides with Martin Luther King Day. So we got

1473
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,839
Speaker 2: a month of football. Well, Friday night games, Thursday night games,

1474
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 2: home games on college campus is what we've wanted, but

1475
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 2: they haven't. I mean, we're actually seven months away from

1476
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 2: well not that long six months away now from the

1477
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 2: college football season, and they're already floating out a potential

1478
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: model for a new college football playoff. So all of

1479
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 2: a sudden, you've got major conference administrators and there's this

1480
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 2: wacky scenario where the Big Ten and SEC would each

1481
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 2: receive three automatic qualifiers into now a fourteen team field.

1482
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 2: The ACC in the Big twelve would get two automatic qualifiers,

1483
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 2: and then the Group of five's best team as well

1484
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 2: would get an automatic qualifier. And then this model would

1485
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,839
Speaker 2: leave room for three at large spots to the highest

1486
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 2: ranked teams that of course are ranked outside of the

1487
01:21:55,560 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 2: automatic qualifiers. Problem number one. This is starting to feel

1488
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 2: like an extended version of what I have always called

1489
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 2: the Made for TV Invitational Tournament, because we know that

1490
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 2: what we just vacated had a fundamental flaw. There were

1491
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 2: only four spots open get their five power conferences. You

1492
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 2: saw what happened to Florida State, and I don't I

1493
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 2: don't begrudge the committee's decision. I'm not going to go

1494
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 2: back and give my Perry Mason argument why I think

1495
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 2: they got it right this year with the four But

1496
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 2: when you only allow for you open the door, there's

1497
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 2: a fundamental flaw, there's always going to be a team

1498
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 2: left out. And then now you know people argue that

1499
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 2: the fourteen team doesn't, you know, pay enough credence to

1500
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 2: the regular season. Okay, you can take that right out

1501
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 2: to the garbage right now, because if the regular season

1502
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 2: was so important Florida State would have gotten no matter what,

1503
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 2: but they didn't let him in any know why. So

1504
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 2: enough with the speech, is enough with the platitudes, enough

1505
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 2: of the lamb excuses. Let's talk about this new format.

1506
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 2: And it's more than just a conversation. I think it's

1507
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:13,759
Speaker 2: gaining traction. So people who have been briefed on the format,

1508
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 2: of course they've given the disclaimer. There's nowhere near finalized,

1509
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 2: and it's only one option that emerged from a meeting

1510
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 2: last week amongst the College Football Playoff Management Committee. These

1511
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 2: are eleven individuals that encompass ten FBS commissioners and then

1512
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 2: of course Notre Dame's athletic director. However, it's now being

1513
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 2: called the three three two two one format and it

1514
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: is starting to take out a life of its own,

1515
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 2: and commissioners discussed a variety of new expansion models. This

1516
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 2: is kind of seen as a compromise to the Big

1517
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 2: ten in the SEC's initial proposal of four automatic berths

1518
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 2: for those leagues. Can you imagine that four automatic berths

1519
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 2: a model that in a fourteen ten playoff that would

1520
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,839
Speaker 2: only leave one at large spot? Come on, man, really,

1521
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 2: so the timing of the decision on this format is

1522
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 2: very uncertain, But college football playoff leaders are facing I

1523
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:15,799
Speaker 2: think an urgent timeline. Why because they've got to negotiate

1524
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,919
Speaker 2: a new television deal here coming up, and a format

1525
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,839
Speaker 2: for a future playoff is one of several unresolved issues

1526
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,759
Speaker 2: that the commissioners must tackle before their deal with ESPN,

1527
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 2: which runs through twenty thirty one. It's worth a billion

1528
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 2: three annually, something that's going to have to get resolved.

1529
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 2: So the thing that concerns me is is that it

1530
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 2: felt like the five plus seven system, which incorporated five

1531
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 2: automatic qualifying spots for the highest ranked conferences, it was

1532
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 2: really more championship based, and we find ourselves in a

1533
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 2: situation now where if this were to really gain traction

1534
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 2: and somehow be ratified, well, you got to ask yourself,

1535
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 2: if you're going to automatically include three, you know, qualifiers

1536
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 2: from the Big ten, the SEC, and then two from

1537
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 2: the Big twelve an a CEC, that's the end of

1538
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 2: the fourteen. So doesn't that leave room for more subjectivity,

1539
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 2: more you know, opinion versus actual performance on the field. Kevin,

1540
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 2: if you had a chance to see this at all,

1541
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 2: have you heard about this today? Shay how about you.

1542
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 2: Did you have a chance to see this playoff format

1543
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:36,719
Speaker 2: talked about today?

1544
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I haven't heard about it, but I mean

1545
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 7: I've seen that they've been speculating with the new format.

1546
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 7: I remember it was they were talking about a twelve

1547
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 7: man format.

1548
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 2: That was last week. Yeah, we talked about that last

1549
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 2: week to five plus seven. Yeah, Now that's a twelve

1550
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 2: team format. Now they're talking about going to a fourteen

1551
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 2: team format. I don't know. I don't like all these

1552
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 2: at large bids. I'd like it to be more championship based.

1553
01:25:58,800 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: Do you have a thought on that?

1554
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 7: I mean, I really I So we have March Maintain

1555
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 7: is coming up, and that's that's a sixteen not sixteen

1556
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 7: team one of the biggest playoffs, right, you know what

1557
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 7: I mean?

1558
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 5: And I mean I like it.

1559
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 7: I really like the bigger the better you get, more

1560
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 7: opportunities for the smaller schools.

1561
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 5: I mean, these with you.

1562
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 2: On that change. That's just the fact that there's too many,

1563
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 2: you know, at large bids. I'd like to see more

1564
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 2: conference champions even for the group of five, give them

1565
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 2: a chance or maybe Notre Dame or whatever, and then

1566
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 2: leaves some room for at large bids. Well, when ten

1567
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 2: of the fourteen are basically going to be hand picked.

1568
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: That's the part that bothers me. I don't mind that

1569
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 2: there's more teams, it's just how it's being done.

1570
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,719
Speaker 7: Okay, So what would you like more of a wild

1571
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 7: card type thing?

1572
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 2: Well, what I would have is that would make a

1573
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 2: championship based. You have to win your conference to get

1574
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 2: the automatic bid period.

1575
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 5: I like that.

1576
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 2: So, yeah, when you go through the top five Power

1577
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 2: five conferences and then maybe the top two ranked group

1578
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 2: of five. Now Notre Dame can't win a conferen but

1579
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 2: maybe you structure something that based on the record strength,

1580
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 2: the record strength, the schedule and how they perform and

1581
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 2: their ultimate you know, power ranking and record, maybe they

1582
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 2: get it. Then after that you start to look at

1583
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 2: the deserving teams, like, for instance, under the format this year,

1584
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 2: you know, you would have probably seen the Ohio States

1585
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 2: and some of these other schools. I didn't mean to

1586
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 2: get some long win to do you got the floor.

1587
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 2: But that's where I was trying to go with that.

1588
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 7: I mean, you're right, I feel like, well, this year's

1589
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 7: scenario fourteen team would have really really works. But you're right,

1590
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 7: in a lot of scenarios and every year, there is

1591
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 7: not going to be tons of teams going undefeated. So

1592
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 7: in that sense, like, yeah, championship would be good, Like

1593
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 7: a championship type model would be a lot better because

1594
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 7: you'll have five teams that are automatically locked in and

1595
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 7: then I'm guessing, and I'm guessing just the Power five

1596
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 7: right there, right, So then you would have to account

1597
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 7: for nine more teams right there. So if you're doing

1598
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 7: fourteen teams in that championship style still, so what like

1599
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 7: where would you go with those other nine teams if

1600
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 7: you have those Power five teams in, if you're doing

1601
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 7: those those championships are in, and then you have to

1602
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 7: account for nine other teams.

1603
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and that's the thing. We don't know. We

1604
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 2: don't know if that's this point. It just it sort

1605
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 2: of has to play itself out. And you know, they're

1606
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 2: they're they're mulling this. I mean, it's it's something that

1607
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 2: is uh, they're just talking.

1608
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 7: It just sounds like they're just talking.

1609
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 2: Well they are, but remember, my man, they want to

1610
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 2: create what they believe is going to be the most

1611
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 2: attractive playoff scenario for the upcoming television package. They're going

1612
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 2: to be negotiating. So Kevin, your thoughts on this fourteen

1613
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 2: team model playoff that was bandied about today that would

1614
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 2: include three auto bids for the Big ten and the SEC,

1615
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 2: and then two auto bids for the Big twelve and

1616
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 2: the ACC.

1617
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 6: It seems pretty unnecessary, you know, given that I feel

1618
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 6: like the majority of years those teams are gonna end

1619
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 6: up getting the majority of those at large bids.

1620
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 5: Anyway, I like the ability.

1621
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 6: One of the reasons, Well, look, the major reason why

1622
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 6: we have the playoff and it's expanding is because of money.

1623
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 5: We can't deny that.

1624
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 6: But it's also a chance for inclusion for a lot

1625
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 6: of group of five teams which are gonna get one

1626
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 6: of those five automatic bids. So we're gonna take that

1627
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 6: away from you know, a quote unquote underdog team to

1628
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 6: get this a chance to make it in and so

1629
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,719
Speaker 6: so by giving one of those bids to a group

1630
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 6: of five school having all these extra bids nine bids open,

1631
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 6: aren't the majority of those going to go to SEC

1632
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 6: and or Big ten teams most years anyway. So I

1633
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 6: just don't understand. I don't see the point in having to,

1634
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 6: you know, basically gift wrap a automatic bid to the

1635
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 6: SEC and the Big ten when most of the time

1636
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 6: they're gonna get those anyway. And I think Mike Gunde

1637
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 6: even brought up a team that comes out of a

1638
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:49,640
Speaker 6: conference like the Big Twelve, where the ACC can end

1639
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 6: up getting penalized if they are ranked number one in

1640
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 6: the country and go undefeated. You're telling me, even with

1641
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 6: that on their resume, they're not gonna get an automatic

1642
01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 6: bid in a bye simply because they don't play in

1643
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:01,760
Speaker 6: the SEC or the Big Ten or what kind of

1644
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 6: sense does that make?

1645
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 2: Good? Good stuff? Kevin. And one of the other what

1646
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 2: I would call the law of unattended consequences that's being

1647
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 2: bandied about is what does this do to the value

1648
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 2: of conference championship games? Now? Now we both know those

1649
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 2: aren't going away anytime soon. Too much television, too much money.

1650
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 2: But what will be the value in those games now

1651
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 2: in terms of the college football playoff? Maybe they talk

1652
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 2: about first round by but what if you win your

1653
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 2: conference championship game but you didn't win your conference so

1654
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 2: one game makes up for a season. I think it's

1655
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 2: full of holes. But as Shay said, they're just talking

1656
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 2: about it. But what's concerning to me is they ruled

1657
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 2: out the five plus seven before it's even had a

1658
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 2: chance to get its feet wet. We haven't even started

1659
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:48,799
Speaker 2: the season yet, none of these teams have even played.

1660
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 2: How do you automatically determine what do we really know

1661
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 2: two years from now? Could the Big ten really be

1662
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 2: that much better than the sec of the Big two?

1663
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:02,759
Speaker 2: We don't know that, and they're assuming facts not in evidence.

1664
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 2: So this is something we've got to continue to watch

1665
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 2: because it represents a second serious sea change over the

1666
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:14,640
Speaker 2: one sea change that we've already reported on. When I

1667
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 2: frankly like I actually want to see these five plus

1668
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 2: seven get going coming up, the US women's team had

1669
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 2: an oddball game the other night. That's worth talking about

1670
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 2: because I'm talking about soccer, and why am I doing that? Well, look,

1671
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 2: first of all, you have a situation where the Paris

1672
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 2: Olympics are really going to gain a lot of traction

1673
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:41,640
Speaker 2: here in the next few months. You wait, it'll be

1674
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:44,759
Speaker 2: upon us before you know. But at the same time,

1675
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 2: we talk about a team where for the last decade

1676
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 2: people thought they could show up put their uniforms on

1677
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 2: the field, and not so a team they usually beat

1678
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 2: they lost to do I think this is a warning sign.

1679
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 2: I do I'll share my thoughts. Coming up, I'm Bernie

1685
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. I'm gonna call a quick audible Twitter is

1686
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 2: on fire based on our midnight hour segment, and I

1687
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 2: think there's a very pronounced wrong impression and I'm gonna

1688
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 2: defend our callers, and I'm gonna defend people who've weighed

1689
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 2: in on this. There were no more on takes, and

1690
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 2: we're a lot more informed than you want to give

1691
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 2: us credit for. And above and beyond all, I want

1692
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:46,440
Speaker 2: to make sure I leave you this impression. I'm extremely

1693
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 2: well versed in the history of the Oakland Athletics, and

1694
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 2: I played minor league baseball, and I will tell you

1695
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 2: this that there are a franchise that goes back to

1696
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 2: nineteen oh one. They were born in Philadelphia, they moved

1697
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 2: to Kansas City in the mid fifties, and then in

1698
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 2: sixty seven they moved to Oakland and The truth of

1699
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 2: the matter is they're a highly respected iconic franchise. Who

1700
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 2: could forget the Charlie Finley era. The Oakland A's won

1701
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,599
Speaker 2: three straight World Series the Swing and A's between seventy two,

1702
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 2: seventy three and seventy four. They won one hundred and

1703
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 2: one games in one of those years, and they wore

1704
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 2: They had these beautiful uniforms, solid greens, solid gold jerseys

1705
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 2: contrasting with the pants. Other teams wore all white uniforms.

1706
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,639
Speaker 2: The A's were a road show the nineteen seventy two

1707
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 2: World Series against Cincinnati. It was termed the Big Hairs

1708
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 2: Versus the Big Squares. The A's were cool. The Swing

1709
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 2: and A's Reggie Jackson. Then Charlie Finley, for whatever reason,

1710
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:46,719
Speaker 2: just decided to dis mantle the team and he refused

1711
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 2: to participate in free agency, then ended up selling the team,

1712
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 2: and then that opened the ownership for the Bill hass era,

1713
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:59,879
Speaker 2: and just a few years later, you know, the A's

1714
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 2: were on the national screen again. Who can forget the

1715
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 2: Bash brothers jose Con Siko and Mark Maguire. They both

1716
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 2: got their start with the Aids from eighty eight to ninety.

1717
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 2: They combined for two Hunter home runs. And you know

1718
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,519
Speaker 2: how many franchises have a movie made about them. An

1719
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 2: iconic movie Moneyball. It's based on the two thousand and

1720
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 2: three book and Billy Bean, who really invented a You know,

1721
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 2: they basically reimagine how players are scouted and how players

1722
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:39,799
Speaker 2: are evaluated, and with minimal, minimal payrolls. The A's produced

1723
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 2: great results all the way up to just few years ago.

1724
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 2: They made the playoffs like seven of the last twelve years,

1725
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 2: and they proved that a low budget team could compete.

1726
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 2: Billy Bean was offered a job by the Boston Red Sox.

1727
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 2: He let them not to go and they basically took

1728
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 2: his model with more money and managed to win two pennance.

1729
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 2: By the way, the Great Lovable Ricky Henderson the Oakland

1730
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 2: Coliseum Turfa is called Ricky Henderson Field because during his

1731
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 2: four stints with the team, he owns the career record

1732
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 2: for a fourteen metered stolen bases. And by the way,

1733
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:22,680
Speaker 2: he set the nation the American League record back in

1734
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two. And he's considered the game's greatest leadoff hitter.

1735
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,440
Speaker 2: And in case you missed it, this is an organization.

1736
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,799
Speaker 2: They've won nine World series titles, five American League pennants,

1737
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 2: seventeen West Division titles in for playoffs per us. So

1738
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 2: we are not talking about this more bun franchise. We

1739
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:49,479
Speaker 2: are talking about a juncture in history where they are

1740
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 2: vacating after all these historic years. And it's one they

1741
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 2: left Philadelphia for Kansas City, they left Kansas City for Oakland,

1742
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 2: now the or leaving oakl for Vegas. I don't recall

1743
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 2: anybody saying we want him here. Put that on Twitter.

1744
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 2: Check yourself before you wreck yourself. They're coming here. The

1745
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:08,360
Speaker 2: idea behind the midnight hour is to allow fans to

1746
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 2: sound off and get their thoughts. And I don't, I don't.

1747
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,679
Speaker 2: I can't have had a single caller in the six

1748
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 2: weeks we've been doing this. Oh what was that about.

1749
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 2: Callers have been outstanding, thoughtful, don't always agree and if

1750
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 2: you listen to their viewpoints, they you know, they make

1751
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 2: a lot of they make a lot of good points,

1752
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, and a lot of times, if we're being honest,

1753
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 2: you don't have to you don't have to take my

1754
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 2: word for it, go research it. Some of those early

1755
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 2: World Series years of the seventies, they didn't necessarily draw well.

1756
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:43,799
Speaker 2: Are we blaming the fans. No, it's just their choice.

1757
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 2: I think it's a shame that that, you know, the

1758
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 2: A's are are leaving baseball. Mark, you started to bring

1759
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 2: up a couple of good points. We just rat on

1760
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:58,120
Speaker 2: a time. You acknowledge and understand the historical perspective and

1761
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 2: uh in footprint that the Oakland A's will have left

1762
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 2: on major League Baseball forever. We were at out of

1763
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 2: time before the top of the ra I'd like to

1764
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:09,840
Speaker 2: give you the floor again to talk about that, just.

1765
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 22: To follow up just the idea of what powerful team

1766
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 22: they used to be when you know it'd be the

1767
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 22: A's against Cincinnati and the World Series, and just how

1768
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 22: tough the pitchers were and the batters were, you know,

1769
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 22: back when people used to get on base and then

1770
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 22: steal a base and move people around the bases to

1771
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 22: you know, old baseball ways. They were just a powerful team.

1772
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 22: And I was just you know, sharing that with Shaye,

1773
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 22: of how great they used to be. And this is

1774
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,680
Speaker 22: a shame that all the fans who love their baseball

1775
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 22: won't I guess the next couple of years won't have

1776
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 22: their team anymore because of whatever is going on within

1777
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:55,599
Speaker 22: the Oakland community. To, you know, between the politicians and

1778
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:59,640
Speaker 22: whatever that don't want to well, whatever is preventing the

1779
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,000
Speaker 22: team from staying there, it's going to be a shame

1780
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 22: when they have to go away.

1781
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 2: Something happened when John Fisher bought the team in twenty sixteen.

1782
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 2: They only won sixty nine games their first year, seventy

1783
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 2: five the next year. And it's not been great. These

1784
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 2: are just facts, all right. But prior to that, I

1785
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 2: don't happen to think that twenty twelve is that far away.

1786
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 2: Twenty twelve is that far let long ago. And I

1787
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 2: remember that year succinctly because that was I believe Bob

1788
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 2: Melvin's first season as the age manager, and they lost

1789
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:43,760
Speaker 2: in the Alds the Divisional series to the Detroit Tigers

1790
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 2: in five games in a very hard fought series. And

1791
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,839
Speaker 2: they started the season they traded three all star pitchers,

1792
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 2: Jeogan Zales, Trevor Khale and Andrew Bailey, and the end

1793
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:56,160
Speaker 2: of the season, with very low expectations, they went out

1794
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 2: and won ninety four games, and they had a lot

1795
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 2: they had. We had luck that year, the injuries and

1796
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 2: so on and so forth. Bob Melvin ended up being

1797
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 2: Ale Manager of the Year and then Josh Reddick got

1798
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 2: a Gold Glove. It was a good year. They follow

1799
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 2: that up in twenty thirteen by winning ninety six games

1800
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 2: their second straight division title. They were heavily favored over

1801
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 2: the Texas Rangers and the Angels, but they lose Game

1802
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 2: five again to Detroit and Justin Verlander for the second

1803
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:28,040
Speaker 2: straight season and their own ballpark. Bartolo Cologne, even in

1804
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 2: spite of his age, almost won on a Psile Award

1805
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 2: win eighteen and six that year. Come back twenty fourteen,

1806
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 2: they A's are starting out as a favorite to win

1807
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,800
Speaker 2: the Al West again. They played for the most part

1808
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 2: up to their potential. They had the best record in

1809
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 2: baseball at the All Star Break. They go out and

1810
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 2: pick up a couple pitchers Jeff Samargia Jason Hammil from

1811
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 2: the Cubs and then they struggle in August, but then

1812
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:57,759
Speaker 2: they got fire. At the bottom line is they faced

1813
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Royals in the wild Card Game that year.

1814
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 2: They had a seven to three lead going to the

1815
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 2: bottom of the eighth. Somehow it just got away from them.

1816
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 2: That was a very very good Royals team. So very recently,

1817
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 2: up till very recently, the A's were very much competing

1818
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 2: and historically I mentioned the championships, the division titles, the uniforms,

1819
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 2: the swing and A's, Ricky Henderson, the Bash Brothers. Listen.

1820
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 2: The idea behind the Midnight Hour is to get the

1821
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,600
Speaker 2: voice of the people. What are your thoughts when you

1822
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:36,879
Speaker 2: hear their moving, what are your thoughts? I'm blaming the fans,

1823
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:41,840
Speaker 2: and no one's sitting here saying Vegas wants. I'm telling

1824
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 2: you right now, if you juxtapose how the A's got

1825
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,400
Speaker 2: here versus what the Golden Knights did and what the

1826
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 2: La Vegas Aces did, and certainly what the Raiders did,

1827
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 2: it's not even close. They essentially showed up hat in

1828
01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 2: hand uninvited. Now we're gonna work through it because certain

1829
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 2: powerful people want it. They're gonna get what they want.

1830
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 2: These things happened, and the Commissioner of Baseball is very

1831
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 2: much behind it.

1832
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 22: Bernie, you can't, really anyone can't blame the fans for

1833
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:12,599
Speaker 22: the product that the Oakland is put on the field.

1834
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 5: So that's their problem.

1835
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 22: They put those players out, they made their deals and whatever,

1836
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 22: and the people that they got to play didn't hold

1837
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,599
Speaker 22: up there and to be a good team. You can't

1838
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 22: blame the fans for that so now because the team

1839
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:33,719
Speaker 22: is just so horrible to say, I guess they're being

1840
01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 22: used because they are still an organization and now they're

1841
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 22: going to play cities against cities to see who wants

1842
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 22: them so they can get their deals done. I mean,

1843
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,840
Speaker 22: the people in Oakland didn't feel great enough to build

1844
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 22: the stadium between whatever the deals were to promise one

1845
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:54,200
Speaker 22: thing and then something else happens. It's just been a

1846
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 22: big mess of how Oakland Baseball has turned into a

1847
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 22: garbage camp. And you can't you can't blame the fans

1848
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 22: for that. It's just so sad that they are going

1849
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:09,440
Speaker 22: to lose their team over the mattness first of Oakland

1850
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:11,679
Speaker 22: and in what the city has done to the team.

1851
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 2: Good stuff. Mark, all right, coming up, we do have

1852
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 2: Chris Profets World of Soccer, but first let's go back

1853
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:18,879
Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1854
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie, we'll go back to the NBA in

1855
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,439
Speaker 6: nine games Slate on Friday night. The nightcap saw the

1856
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 6: Clippers dominate Washington one forty to one fifteen. James Harden

01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 6: twenty seven for the Clippers. The Bucks won their fifth straight,

1859
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:35,840

Speaker 6: There no de Aaron Fox, he was out with the

1862
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:43,840
Speaker 6: knee issue for the Kings, but they did pick up

1863
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 6: an overtime victory in Minnesota one twenty four to one

1864
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:50,599
Speaker 6: twenty as Maleakue Monks scored thirty nine points, thirty five

1865
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:53,800

Speaker 6: won their tenth straight game, this time a one thirty

1868
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 6: eight to one ten victory over the Mavericks despite a

Speaker 6: triple double from Luka Doncik thirty four points for Brandon

1870
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 6: Ingram as the Pelicans defeated Indiana. It was the Warriors

1871
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 6: one twenty in Toronto one oh five, as Steph Curry

1872
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 6: scored twenty five points. Victories for Portland, Cleveland and the

Speaker 6: seventy six ers, who beat Charlotte one twenty one to one.

1874
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:20,599

01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 6: defeated Air Force seventy two to sixty six.

1878
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:31,560
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Frado.

1879
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Kevin, so at this week every time,

1880
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:38,320
Speaker 2: and there's actually a game to report on. Always plenty

1881
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 2: report on the field, off the field, in season, off season.

1882
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 2: The women's team is back at it, and MLS's backass

1883
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 2: Will we bring you Chris Purfetts World of Soccer, the greatest.

1884
01:43:50,760 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 23: Schools, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

1885
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the world of.

1886
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,439
Speaker 24: Soccer this past week, Bernie, I've noticed in the NBA

1887
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,280
Speaker 24: a lot of talk about who is going to be

1888
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 24: the next face of the NBA, Who is going to

1889
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 24: be the next face of the National Basketball Association and,

1890
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 24: by extension, all of pro basketball the world over.

1891
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 5: It is a fascinating question.

1892
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:29,920
Speaker 24: It's one that I think that sometimes we're not really

1893
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 24: ready to accept that there's not going to be a

1894
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 24: guy who can take over someone like Lebron. But I

1895
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:38,639
Speaker 24: wanted to extend this question further into soccer itself because

1896
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:40,680
Speaker 24: we are now coming up on the twilight years of

1897
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:44,160
Speaker 24: Cristiano Ronaldo, even though he continues to set records playing

1898
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,840
Speaker 24: over in Saudi Arabia and Lionel Messi for as long

1899
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:50,439
Speaker 24: as he will continue to wow in the United States,

1900
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 24: it is clear that this is probably going to be

1901
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 24: his last destination, unless he wants to do a farewell

1902
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 24: tour with his Spanish club Barcelona somewhere down the line.

1903
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 5: The good news is.

1904
01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 24: For soccer, the answer of who comes next is something

1905
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 24: that is evidentally clear. We have had through the years

1906
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:12,759
Speaker 24: generations of great players, and I would argue that soccer

1907
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 24: doesn't really have a goat, a clear cut goat, although

1908
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 24: Pele comes as close as you can probably get to it.

1909
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:25,760
Speaker 24: But you have generational greats from one generation to the next,

1910
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:29,600
Speaker 24: because yes, there was Pele, but there was also Maradonna,

1911
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 24: there was Messi, there was Ronaldinho who was fantastic as well.

1912
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 24: There was Cristiano Ronaldo himself, and now coming along Killian Imbape,

1913
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:47,720
Speaker 24: the young, wonderful Frenchman, the one who is even at

1914
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 24: the age of twenty five, has won more than most

1915
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 24: footballers will ever do so in their life, with already

1916
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 24: one World Cup to his name, and to be honest,

1917
01:45:57,720 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 24: he could have probably had a second World Cup, assuming

1918
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 24: the last World Cup shootout goes a slightly different way,

1919
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,120
Speaker 24: and at that point he probably also wins the Blondure,

1920
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 24: the award for the greatest footballer in the world at

1921
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 24: that off of that performance too, because that second half

1922
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 24: against Argentina that Franz had it was some of the

1923
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 24: greatest soccer I've seen in my life. And it was

1924
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:22,680
Speaker 24: one man out there trying to salvage the dreams of

1925
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 24: France and it was Imbape. And now it has been

1926
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 24: the roar of the world. Behind Ronaldo, behind Messe, there

1927
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 24: is Killian Imbape. He is the other name. He is

1928
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:38,640
Speaker 24: the big name to know across the world. And it

1929
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 24: looks more and more evident that he will be leaving

1930
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 24: Paris Saint Germain, the club of Paris in one of

1931
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 24: the most densely populated, most football loven cities in the world,

1932
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 24: to go to Real Madrid, a club he has dreamed

1933
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:56,280
Speaker 24: for playing for all his life. But he will be

1934
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 24: leaving PSG. It's becoming more and more evident as the

1935
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:03,519
Speaker 24: days on. PSG actually subbed him off around the half

1936
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:07,839
Speaker 24: as they were playing Monaco on Friday, and the manager

1937
01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 24: basically saying that we need to be ready to have

1938
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 24: a future without Quillian Imbape and for him to go

1939
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,679
Speaker 24: to Real Madrid would make him one of the greatest

1940
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:20,839
Speaker 24: stars in the world period, end of discussion. I believe

1941
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 24: that playing for PSG as great as it would be

1942
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 24: to have a Parisian football team on the global stage,

1943
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,560
Speaker 24: going to Real Madrid will continue to highlight what exactly

1944
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 24: he is and the next World Cup, once more in

1945
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 24: his prime, Euro's coming up this year. Imbape is the

1946
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 24: name who is always at every stage delivered. Back in November,

1947
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 24: Imbape reached three hundred career goals and he did it

1948
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:51,680
Speaker 24: faster than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo did. It was

1949
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 24: in a record breaking fourteen to zero win playing for

1950
01:47:56,439 --> 01:48:00,879
Speaker 24: France against Gibraltar. And it's not just been what Imbape

1951
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,920
Speaker 24: has done as far as goal scoring, but how he

1952
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 24: has carried his clubs. As I said, he already has

1953
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 24: a World Cup to his name at a very young

1954
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:10,839
Speaker 24: age and almost got a second. But on the club's side,

1955
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 24: let's put Paris Saint Germaine aside for a second. He

1956
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 24: was seventeen years old. He's leading Monaco to a League

1957
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 24: One title and he's taking them to the Champions League

1958
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 24: semi finals. He's now gotten five, closing in on a

1959
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:28,600
Speaker 24: six title in France with the Paris Saint Germain, and

1960
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 24: while Champions League has eluded him, he's gone in PSG

1961
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 24: from going from a piece of their roster to we're

1962
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 24: going to have a big three with Neymar Messi and

1963
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:44,280
Speaker 24: Mbope too. We're going to build around Imbope. When those

1964
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:47,559
Speaker 24: two left, it's shown more and more he has become

1965
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 24: the focal point of that team and he will absolutely

1966
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 24: be a focal point wherever he goes, because he's just

1967
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:57,320
Speaker 24: that great. But what of the others, Well, there's one

1968
01:48:57,360 --> 01:48:59,679
Speaker 24: other name out there that could contend at this point.

1969
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:00,960
Speaker 5: It's a man who has.

1970
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:03,880
Speaker 24: Already been Remember how I said that Imbape was out

1971
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 24: pacing Ronaldo and Messi as far as their goals. What

1972
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 24: about Earling Holland. We haven't spoken of the man in

1973
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:13,639
Speaker 24: a while. It's been a little bit of a slow

1974
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:17,080
Speaker 24: going for Manchester City. They're playing the Manchester Derby against

1975
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 24: United here on Sunday, Always time for some fireworks. But

1976
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 24: we got to know Earling Holland the Norwegian very quickly

1977
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 24: last Premier League season when he burst onto the scene

1978
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 24: and scored goal after goal after goal after goal after goal,

1979
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,799
Speaker 24: to the point where people were wondering, is this probably

1980
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 24: a problem for Manchester City that he's scoring too many goals?

1981
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 24: And I don't know in any world where someone scoring

1982
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 24: too many goals is a problem. Earling Holland is already

1983
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 24: has over two hundred and thirty goals for both his

1984
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 24: club and for Norway and he hasn't even turned twenty

1985
01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 24: four yet, So again those are that's more than messy

1986
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 24: and un at their same age as well. Now, what

1987
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 24: will be the problem for I think Holland's down the

1988
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 24: road is that Norway isn't France. At the end of

1989
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 24: the day, he will not be playing on a fantastic roster.

1990
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 24: And indeed, even with Holland, Norway has struggled to get

1991
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:20,599
Speaker 24: attention both in Euros and to make the World Cup.

1992
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 24: It's something that still eludes the Scandinavian country and something

1993
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 24: they'll have to do if Holland want that same recognition

1994
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 24: as killing Nimbafe.

1995
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 5: But on the club scene, playing.

1996
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:34,639
Speaker 24: In the Premier League the Great the probably the most

1997
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:39,439
Speaker 24: competitive top professional club league in the world right now,

1998
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 24: playing for a team like Manchester City, Holland is out there.

1999
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 24: He's center stage every morning here in the United States,

2000
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 24: and the damn if he isn't fun to watch. And

2001
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 24: he did it again here scoring five goals in the

2002
01:50:55,640 --> 01:51:01,679
Speaker 24: FA CUB route of Lutontown back here on Tuesday, and

2003
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 24: I hate to say it, he's ready to keep building

2004
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:08,799
Speaker 24: on that again for another season. Manchester City is sitting

2005
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:12,680
Speaker 24: behind Liverpool right now in the Premier League. They have

2006
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:15,520
Speaker 24: to gain ground. I expect him to do some fireworks

2007
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:19,519
Speaker 24: against Manchester United here coming up on Sunday. The wheel

2008
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:22,479
Speaker 24: of time turns, Bernie. There's always another great ready to

2009
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:24,519
Speaker 24: take the mantle in the world of soccer. What do

2010
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 24: you think? Will it be in Bope, Will it be Holland,

2011
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 24: Will it be one of these other young guys coming up?

2012
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:33,080
Speaker 24: Or will it remain messy for the foreseeable future. We

2013
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:34,880
Speaker 24: shall see and we'll see you next time on the

2014
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 24: World of soccer.

2015
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 2: So Killian Boppe. Lionel Messidis are becoming more household names

2016
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 2: in America for various reasons. Earling Holland Chris first brought

2017
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:47,679
Speaker 2: that name up probably the summer of twenty twenty two,

2018
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,640
Speaker 2: heading into the Men's World Cup that was backed up

2019
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 2: that year into Christmas. As you recall, US played England

2020
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:58,920
Speaker 2: Friday after Thanksgiving, which kicked the tournament off. We talked

2021
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:01,679
Speaker 2: about that time a Chris did that early in Hollywood

2022
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 2: was a Wayne Gretzky esque type goal scorer. Gee, you think,

2023
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:08,960
Speaker 2: look what he just did the other night. That's why

2024
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 2: you listen to the World of Soccer coming out. We

2025
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:16,599
Speaker 2: wrap up the show, and one bit of business. By

2026
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 2: the way, Russell Wilson says he wants to stay in Denver. Well,

2027
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: what do the Broncos say about that? I'll give you

2028
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,839
Speaker 2: the four to one one. Do they still say that anymore?

2029
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:31,439
Speaker 2: Do what I just Channel two thousand and four. I'm

2030
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:33,759
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradleer Company live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

2033
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 2: it up on the Bernie Fraddle Show Company, live from

2042
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 2: input by the guys tonight on the court storming Caitlin

2043
01:53:14,479 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 2: Clark and the Oakland A's is another well rounded show

2044
01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:20,360
Speaker 2: and thanks to all the callers. I think you do

2045
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,919
Speaker 2: an outstanding job. We get calls from around the country,

2046
01:53:24,400 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 2: from as far back as Maine and West Coast and

2047
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:30,240
Speaker 2: you name it, sometimes around the world. So good stuff.

2048
01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:32,599
Speaker 2: We will continue the midnight hour on Friday nights. It's

2049
01:53:32,640 --> 01:53:35,280
Speaker 2: taken on a life of its own. By the way,

2050
01:53:35,320 --> 01:53:38,519
Speaker 2: coming up Saturday, I'll be back on these airways, what

2051
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 2: you know, ten hours from now, ten hours and ten

2052
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 2: minutes something like that. No, actually, not that, No that's

2053
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 2: not true. Maybe I need to be a little bit

2054
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 2: better at math. I come out on eleven pm Pacific

2055
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, so we're talking more like twenty two

2056
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 2: hours from now. All right, that's what I get. I'm

2057
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 2: no high school dropout. I did go the full six years,

2058
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:00,680
Speaker 2: but I got a few holes in my game. But

2059
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:02,799
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk, you know, two weeks from selection Sunday.

2060
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:05,559
Speaker 2: It may not feel like it, but it is. And

2061
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:08,640
Speaker 2: we've got a We've got some good guests. Tomorrow night,

2062
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:11,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna dive into this Brownie James situation. He ain't

2063
01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:13,840
Speaker 2: gonna be drafted, but make no mistake, I don't think

2064
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 2: Lebron's a patient man. I think they'll move having on

2065
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,479
Speaker 2: Earth for him to be a Laker next year. You

2066
01:54:18,560 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 2: think I'm crazy. We we'll see conference tourneys around the corner.

2067
01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 2: Aaron torresl join us. We got Midnight Magic with Mark Medina,

2068
01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 2: Uncle VJ, little storytelling time, another humorous players survey giving

2069
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:34,280
Speaker 2: out team grades, and we'll have a bunch of more

2070
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:38,920
Speaker 2: stuff coming and maybe we'll touch into the combine, which

2071
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 2: I've dubbed the Underwear Olympics. I see our guy, Bob

2072
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 2: is now calling it the underwear Olympics. M I'm cool.

2073
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:47,320
Speaker 2: I hope you took it from me, Bob, because I

2074
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 2: can't even think of a better guy. Want to have it.

2075
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:54,360
Speaker 2: And of course Saturday Night brand new editions of what

2076
01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool are you? And what my

2077
01:54:57,120 --> 01:55:00,200
Speaker 2: name all right? Russell Wilson was asked about it this

2078
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 2: week on The im Athlete podcast with Brandon Marshall made

2079
01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:06,400
Speaker 2: no bones bottles that he wants to stay in Denver,

2080
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:11,839
Speaker 2: says he's got more fire than ever. Honestly, come on, man, really, really,

2081
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 2: after what happened. Look, there are personal feelings and their

2082
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 2: objective truths. These are the objective truths. And you tell

2083
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:24,800
Speaker 2: me if you think it's realistic that Russell Wilson will

2084
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 2: be a Bronco when the season kicks off next year.

2085
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 2: He's got a thirty seven million dollar salary for twenty

2086
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 2: twenty five, which is currently guaranteed for injury. It becomes

2087
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:39,240
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed on March seventeenth, So unless Russell Wilson agrees

2088
01:55:39,280 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 2: to delay the vesting of the guarantee until after the

2089
01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four season, the Broncos will cut him before

2090
01:55:46,040 --> 01:55:49,320
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five salary fully guarantees, which I just

2091
01:55:49,400 --> 01:55:54,640
Speaker 2: said was March seventeenth. Think I'm wrong, Think again. I

2092
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 2: don't see any other scenario there. We'll see. The Broncos

2093
01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 2: have said anything about it. They don't have to. They

2094
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:06,240
Speaker 2: benched Russell Wilson for Jared Stidham. Whether it's not a

2095
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 2: chance to make the freaking playoffs last year. If that

2096
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 2: doesn't tell you everything you need to know about how

2097
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 2: they feel about Russell Wilson. All due respect, he's just

2098
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:19,960
Speaker 2: not the guy with You know that Sean Payton wants

2099
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 2: to have around him to build his offense. He doesn't

2100
01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:23,919
Speaker 2: want to give him the keys of the car anymore.

2101
01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:26,960
Speaker 2: He's not going to throw thirty seven million dollars in

2102
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 2: good money after thirty nine million in bad They're on

2103
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 2: the hook for thirty nine. So it's not just that.

2104
01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't it feel like fences need to be mended between

2105
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson and the Broncos. And you know when he

2106
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 2: said that the Broncos wanted him to push back his

2107
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 2: injury guarantee and remove them for the rest of the year,

2108
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 2: so if he got injured, they have to pay it.

2109
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 2: That's not what they really wanted to do. They didn't

2110
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 2: want to take away his injury guarantees. They just wanted

2111
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 2: to delay the date. Look, this is not a type

2112
01:56:56,400 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 2: of a quote that helps a player endear bosses and

2113
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 2: get them on the same page. Right. Russell Wilson goes

2114
01:57:04,440 --> 01:57:05,920
Speaker 2: on to say, I didn't really want to set up

2115
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:10,480
Speaker 2: precedent for players to remove their injury guarantees as well.

2116
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:14,240
Speaker 2: So now you're taking up the cause. Look, the Broncos,

2117
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 2: from what I have heard, didn't ask him to waive

2118
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 2: injury guarantees. Every time Russell seals, the Broncos wanted him

2119
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 2: to remove injury guarantees. The Broncos, I understand, get a

2120
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,839
Speaker 2: little hot under the collar. They don't talk about it publicly,

2121
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 2: but quietly they are happy about that. Now. I'm not

2122
01:57:34,800 --> 01:57:37,240
Speaker 2: the burning bush on this subject matter, but I also

2123
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 2: think that the Broncos would take issue with Russell Wilson's

2124
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:42,920
Speaker 2: claim that the NFL decided it was illegal for the

2125
01:57:42,920 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 2: Broncos to ask Wilson to delay the vesting of his

2126
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 2: injury guarantee to full guarantee. The Broncos would say the

2127
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 2: NFL did no such team. So, officially, Russell Wilson wants

2128
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 2: to stay. Unofficially, I don't think he's staying in Denver.

2129
01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 2: I think could be released. I think will happy March seventeenth, though.

2130
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 2: I think he could be productive somewhere else.

2131
01:58:01,720 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 18: I do.

2132
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 2: He's sure enough to me that he has some gas

2133
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:06,560
Speaker 2: in the tank. Just not a fit with Sean Payton.

2134
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:09,160
Speaker 2: He's not his guy. He's never gonna be his guy.

2135
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 2: Maybe Sean Payton listens to the Bernie Frattle Show. Welcome in, Shawn.

2136
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:15,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna do it for the Bernie Fraddle Show. Back
