1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to sports beat down City in game four 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: and maybe not the team that you expected. 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: Here. 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a minute. Here we 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: are broadcasting live from the Tyreck dot Com studios. Hope 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: you're enjoying your Saturday here. Good morning, gentlemen. As the 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks awoken, right, is that right? They awoken last 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: night to the tune of a thirty eight point beatdown 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: of the Boston Celtics. I mean, it's not shocking that 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: Dallas won a game and Boston again guilty. We've seen 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: this before in the playoffs where they just sort of 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: sleep walk. They don't bring the same force and same 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: energy as their opponent, but they got worked by thirty 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: eight points. Good lord. The question becomes, we don't think 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a series, and Dallas has a 16 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: realistic chance of winning, but can they force a game six? 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: Do you see this series shifting back to Dallas after 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: Monday in Boston? 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: No? And here's the reason why. And I know when 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: a blowout occurs, everybody starts looking at the tail of 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: the tape a little bit differently in these series, and 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: I understand why, because if things were even if everybody 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: was putting forth the same effort that they were in 24 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 2: Game one, two and three, and I'm talking about on 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: you know, the Boston Celtics side. Then this would be 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: enormously concerning for Boston. But that's not what happens when 27 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: you're getting blown out in the NBA, you know, because look, 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: it's not urgent. It just isn't when you have a 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: one and done playoff situation where you're down what was it, 30 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: twenty seven three, twenty eight three, the Brady come back 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, where something looks so desperate that 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: you would say, well, there's no way the Falcon lose 33 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: this game. But you have to keep hope alive and 34 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: you have to keep fighting, you have to keep digging 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: yourself out of that hole because you only get one 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: game in the NFL. Well, the problem with the NBA, 37 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: and it's been something that I've talked about many times 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: over the years, is you don't just get one game. 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: There is a lack of urgency. This is a part 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: of a series. And so you can have a team 41 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: lose by fifty points and it doesn't really matter because 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: guess what, they can wake up Monday morning and they 43 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: can close out this series against the MAVs, and they 44 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: could blow them out. It's as simple as that, you know, 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: so don't based on one game alone where Luka Doncic 46 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: was on was absolutely on fire, and we know he's 47 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: capable of doing that. It was the best game he's 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: played arguably all playoffs long. And you post up the 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: sort of numbers that they did against Boston, I think 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: Boston kind of rolled over in this one. I just 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: don't think that they play like themselves. I don't think 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: that this team. I don't think it's necessarily a sign 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: of things to come, but I don't think this team 54 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: looked like themselves at all. And I think they kind 55 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: of knew, Hey, with three games cushion, if we if 56 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: we lose one here on the road to Dallas, is 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: it the worst thing in the world. And answer is no, 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: it's not. So I think that attitude, unfortunately for Joe 59 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: Missoula and the franchise in the organization, it proliferated the 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: locker room and the results are the results. But I 61 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: think it was that lack of urgency that created such 62 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: a lopsided blowout. 63 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they call it a gentleman sweep, right, Yeah, exactly, 64 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: very gentlemanly. 65 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Last night, Dallas showed that they are part of the 66 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: part of the conversation. They have a seat at the table. 67 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: But it's like when you go to Thanksgiving dinner and 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: like you get the worst seat, right, Like. 69 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: You finally you know you're not a kid anymore. 70 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: You get to sit at the table, but you have 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: to sit at the end, and you've got to sit 72 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: next to the uncle who, like you know, might talk 73 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: your ear off for like three hours about something stupid, but. 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: You still get the seat at the table. 75 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: We get to talk about this for another two days. 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: Number in game five looks hair shaded towards Dallas, like 77 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: we were seeing seven seven and a half's for games. 78 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: One and two. 79 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 3: Now we are on the other side of let's be honest, 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: the key number, right, We've seen this series land seven 81 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 3: already in earlier games, so seven's an important number in basketball, 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: and that's kind of where the number opened for. 83 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: And we get two. 84 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: Days off too, so we get the extra day, which 85 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: we all love, right, we get to extend and I'm 86 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 3: sure that's why, Honestly, I think that's why I was 87 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: really and we're going back and forth in the group 88 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: chat last night about just you know, Dallas's odds of 89 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: winning this game and what the odds actually were, and 90 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: you know, the league really. 91 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Wanting to extend the season. A couple of days. There 92 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: were some people I was going back and forth with 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: on social media just you know, I no one wants 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: to bet Dallas today. Wouldn't be shocked if they ended 95 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: up playing well. But this is what Boston was. 96 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: This is why I didn't think they were gonna sweep 97 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: Indiana because I thought we were gonna get one of 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: these games because they don't have that killer instinct and 99 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: the series is still alive and Dallas. 100 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Technically still has a chance to come back. 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: If they're able to figure out a way to pull 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: out Game five, that's when the urgency level really starts 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: to rise. So I think Boston and this could be 104 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: an interesting angle for Game five. I think Boston comes 105 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: out and the way that they come out and start 106 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: Game five is gonna be very intriguing. If Dallas is 107 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: in that game, unlike last night where it was over 108 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: after the first quarter, really first half. If Dallas is 109 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: in that game, the longer Dowdallas is in Game five, 110 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 3: and the longer that that game is close, the more 111 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: intriguing the series guts. 112 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: Even if they. 113 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: Don't win it, even if it's just a close game 114 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: down to the end, we get a buzzer beater or 115 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: something or something really close to the end of game five. 116 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 3: But the longer they're in it, that's when the belief 117 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 3: level will start to rise, because you're right, Rich, twenty 118 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: eight to three is a random shot in the dark. 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen often. 120 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: But they came back and they won that Super Bowl. 121 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: We're kind of still in twenty eight three mode right now. 122 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: They haven't even gotten off the deck yet. Frankly, I 123 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: think that win was just kind of the gentleman's sweep. 124 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: And if they're in it in game five and it's close, 125 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: and we got ourselves a tight series, tight game, then 126 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: I'll start to believe that Dallas can come back and 127 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 3: make this interesting. 128 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: Well, listen, over the years, you see this time and 129 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: time again, whether it's football, basketball, baseball, whatever sport you're 130 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: talking about, the power of embarrassment is a real thing, 131 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: and you saw that last night. Dallas got punked the 132 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: first three games. They're down three games to none. Brian 133 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: Windhorst went berserk on this is after Game three, so 134 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: right when Dallas, Uh, Luca filed out of Game three, right, 135 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: and Dallas lost that game and they're down three to 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: nothing in the series. And this was a portion of 137 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: what Windhorst had to say on Sports Center with SVP. 138 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: His defensive performance is unacceptable. 139 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: He is a hole on the court. The Celtics are 140 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: attacking him. 141 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 4: They are ahead in this series because they have attacked 142 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 4: him defensively. 143 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Okay, when someone says you're a hole on the court, wow, 144 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: which is true? Which is absolutely true? And everything that 145 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Windhorst said about Dallas, where Luca's got to stop complaining 146 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: all the time about the officiating and he has got 147 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: to lock normal do his job. He takes it to 148 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: the extreme. Agree, he is the gold standard for whining 149 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: and complaining and it getting him off of his game. 150 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: So for Windhors to call him out, Luca had to 151 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: do a sit down interview after that with Malika Andrews 152 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: of ESPN. How often do you see that we're a 153 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: guy down three games to none in a series? Does 154 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: this sit down interview with ESPN? It never happens, And 155 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: yet Luca had to do that because the power of 156 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: embarrassment and you saw Dallas come out and smack around Boston. 157 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: So now the embarrassment shifts. You had Boston get punked. 158 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: They only scored eighty four points. That's a season low 159 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: regular season postseason. Think about that in the regular season, 160 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: some random game in November when all the big guns 161 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: are resting. They never got They only had eighty four 162 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: points scored in a game like that, So they got 163 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: punked in Game four. I expect Boston to come out 164 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: with force energy and look to close it down in 165 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: Game five. It is gonna be extremely uphill for Dallas 166 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: to get Game five on the road. 167 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty seven. And I know we've brought 168 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: this stat up before, but one hundred and fifty seven 169 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: teams have in an three to hole and none of 170 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: them have come back and won a series in the 171 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: NBA postseason. One one hundred and fifty seven. So when 172 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: you think about that, if the Mavericks even have a 173 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: snowballs chance to get this series win and hoist the 174 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: Lary O'Brien Trophy, it is going to take something cataclysmic 175 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: happening on Boston side or something frankly so magnificent on 176 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: Dallas's side. It would literally be something we've never seen, 177 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: because again it's not just the fact that you have 178 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: to overcome some pretty significant odds to win this series, 179 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: but also the fact that usually the reason why a 180 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: team drops to zero to three against their opponent is 181 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: because they're not as good as their opponent. I think 182 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: that's pretty clear after watching four games and again as 183 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: an ho outlier, seeing what Luke is able to do 184 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: and Kyrie what they're able to do. When the pieces 185 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: all come together and Boston plays their worst basketball game, 186 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: yeah you can. You can have a blowout situation. But 187 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: I think because this game did didn't operate in a vacuum. 188 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't one off. You know, hey it's it's win 189 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: and get in, or hey it's it's it's game seven. 190 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: You know where where the series is even and here 191 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: we go. Let's see. It felt like Boston rolled over 192 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: a little bit because they knew they had him in 193 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: in Boston on Monday, and so you can let one 194 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: slip by, and the gentleman sweep thing is a real thing. 195 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 2: It's like, hey, you know what, let's let him get one. 196 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: Is it gonna kill us if we if this series 197 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: goes on for one more game, that's that's the attitude 198 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: that I felt. That was the energy that I felt 199 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: from Boston. And and to their credit, they're right now 200 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: they better finish this series otherwise they'll allow the Mavericks 201 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: to do something literally that's never been done before in 202 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: the history of the sport. But but that's the energy 203 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: I felt from Boston. 204 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be. 205 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: That'd be a fun like if we're still talking about 206 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: this yearies will we won't be because I think the 207 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: game When would Game seven be? 208 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: Would it be next Friday? I don't have the schedule 209 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: in front of me, but either the twenty third, So 210 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: let's see, so it would be it would be next Sunday. 211 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: That would be it would be the following Sunday. 212 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: So if we let's should we make a bet that 213 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: we're not talking about this series on next Saturday show? 214 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: Like, what are the odds that we get a Game seven? 215 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: You're right? 216 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: Game seven would be next Sunday, June twenty third. That 217 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: would be absolutely bananas, no, listen, I right? And I 218 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: talk about this in gambling a lot, like when when 219 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: you get a bad beat or if something wrong happens 220 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: during a game, and like something like you know, like 221 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: the game's playing out as you expect it to or 222 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: as the odds expected to, and then it takes a 223 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 3: left turn like something crazy fluky happens, But then the 224 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 3: result still ends up to be where the game was 225 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: going in and that crazy fluky thing didn't change the 226 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: result of the game. I say the right result took place, 227 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 3: like I think the right result it was Boston winning 228 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 3: this series like like that. That has not been in 229 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: debate for frankly the last two months. Like Boston's been 230 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: the best team. They were odds on to win the 231 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: Eastern Conference way early on in the playoffs, earlier on 232 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: than you could even expect. I think it was even 233 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: maybe at the end of the regular season. They were 234 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: odds on, meaning a minus sign next to their name, 235 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: meaning more than fifty percent chance that they were going 236 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: to win the conference and make it to the finals. 237 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: Once they got to that. 238 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 3: Mid point in the postseason where they were just kind 239 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: of cruising right, they got past the Miami series, Cleveland 240 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: was banged up to be like, all right, this team's 241 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 3: going to the Eastern Conference finals, and you know they're 242 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: probably gonna make it to the finals. That's when you 243 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: started to see odds on to win the whole kitten kaboodle. 244 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: So this has been the right result for weeks now, 245 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 3: and it's just we just have to kind of go 246 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 3: down the road and kind of go through the motions. 247 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 3: And Boston definitely looked like they were going through the 248 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: motions last night that first quarter. And my guess is, 249 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 3: I don't think I don't know if we get quarter 250 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: lines out yet. 251 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: Usually we don't get those till closer to the game. 252 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: Actually, no, bet MGM's got them up. Yeah, Boston minus 253 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: two and a half in the first quarter. You can 254 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: always kind of tell where the market's shaded based on 255 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: the first quarter number. For example, in Game three, Boston 256 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 3: was like a point two point favorite. They were a 257 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: point two point favorite in the first quarter, and so 258 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: you can kind of see that, Okay, we expect Boston 259 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 3: to come out really strong. They're basically a three point 260 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 3: favorite in the first quarter and a six and a 261 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: half point favorite for the game. Again, if you're just 262 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 3: dividing it up by quarters, that math ain't math in. 263 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: But it's kind of the market telling you that we 264 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 3: expect Boston to come out really strong. 265 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to pay a peap. 266 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: Premium if you want to bet them in the first 267 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: quarter because of everything we're saying right through the motions 268 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 3: in game three or Game four. Now they come back home, 269 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: we expect a really strong performance right out of the gate. 270 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 3: If Dallas is in this game after the first half, 271 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 3: I think again that's where the pressure of the urgency 272 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: starts to rise. I think Boston still gets one half 273 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: to kind of figure it out. And if they look 274 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: like Boston again like they did earlier in the playoffs, 275 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: especially earlier in this series at home, then I think 276 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: we're gonna be okay here. But man, it would be something. 277 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 3: If we're still talking about this series next Saturday. 278 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, we won't. It'll just be a reek. Yeah, our 279 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: trust the producer Bo Benson has something for us here. 280 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. I got into my time machine for you guys, 281 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 5: So I actually know exactly what's gonna happen. If you'd 282 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 5: want me to tell you guys. 283 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: Please, do you have the scripture? 284 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 6: Yeah? 285 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, Tomorrow you're going to see the Boston Celtics twitter 286 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 5: account send out a tweet saying you asked for it 287 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 5: and you got it, and they're gonna announce they're wearing 288 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 5: green jerseys at home on Monday and then they're gonna 289 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 5: win by thirty five points and they wanted They very 290 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 5: clearly went to clinch at home. And I'll also give 291 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 5: you this, Jason Tatum will not only recreate the Kobe picture, 292 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 5: but he will also at some point say anything as 293 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: possible in the postgame interview. 294 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 7: Is this like, uh, yeah, you're gonna it was the 295 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 7: series after the Yeah, they beat the Suns and Kobe 296 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 7: kind of like took his jersey and moved it to 297 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 7: the side, you know. 298 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: I remember, is that the Kobe picture, the one of. 299 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 5: Him, unfortunately talking about, is the one where he's like 300 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 5: wearing the big old jacket and holding the trophy very forlornly. 301 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 5: I believe that's because he was fighting with his parents 302 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 5: at the time, but nobody ever mentions that. 303 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: Yea, is that the picture that Caitlin Clark tried to recreate? 304 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: I hope not, and nobody should try to do that. 305 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: But it's just kind of like sitting with the trophy, 306 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, in his locker, or yeah, that's that's the one. 307 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 5: If if she did that, then I will be fighting 308 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: Iowa Sam off the so she did yeah. 309 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: Sorry sorry. 310 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 4: Alternatively, we could get the h I used to pray 311 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 4: for times like this. 312 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 8: Jordan, Oh oh yeah, just trying. 313 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: Over it with his dad.

It is Fox Sports Saturday 386 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: right here on Fox Sports Radio. So yeah, we've got 387 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: a Twoco for Breaking Bad making it into the show 388 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: here today because I thought if Tuco because of Aaron Rodgers, 389 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: the Jets quarterback, he missed Jets Mini camp this week, 390 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: And just like Tuco said in Breaking Bad, I love 391 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: this line. Talk is talk. You can talk a good game, 392 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: but do you back it up? So Aaron Rodgers, this 393 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: is this quote from January. Okay, if you want to 394 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: be a winning organization and put yourself in position to 395 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: win championships and be competitive, everything that you do matters, 396 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: and the bull stuff that and the bs that is 397 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: nothing to do with winning needs to get out of 398 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: the building. Okay. That was his quote in January. And 399 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: then mini camp rolls around and Rogers is like, oh, 400 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: I got a trip. I want to take a trip. 401 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: I've got a very important engagement that I want to 402 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: be there for and we don't know what it was. 403 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: We don't have any details. All that we know is 404 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: the head coach, Robert Salas said it's okay. Most of 405 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: the teammates seem to be okay with it. But that's 406 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: the thing is, you can't have both things. You can't 407 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: have a quote from January and say that everything that 408 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: you do matters and then you just miss Mini Caamp. 409 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like, don't make that quote, 410 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: don't say that in the first place and miss okay 411 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: or right, like, you can't say it and miss it. 412 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: Can't be both of those things. Either don't miss Mini 413 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: Caamp or don't say the quote in January. Am I 414 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: wrong about that? I don't think he can have it 415 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: both ways. 416 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: No, I get what you're saying. I just think that 417 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: we're we're thinking the standard is the standard that we 418 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 2: would set or I would say that like a normal 419 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: coach or quarterback would set for themselves or for their team. 420 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 2: I think Aaron Rodgers is a very different guy, and 421 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: so well, I agree with you. It's going to me 422 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: be misunderstood and it's going to be misconstrued away from 423 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: what Aaron wants a quote like that to dictate to everybody. 424 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 2: But he's truly doing And this is my guess, because 425 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: my guess is we're gonna hear about some sort of 426 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 2: spiritually edifying journey that he had to go on, whether 427 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: it was some sort of darkness retreat or some you know, 428 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: trip to the rainforest to get high with the shaman 429 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: so that he could see his third eye or whatever. 430 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: And listen, and by the way, I'm not even making 431 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: fun I mean, these are things that people have actually 432 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: said about these I think that's where he is. 433 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: I think he nailed it. 434 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, So whatever whatever he is doing right now, I 435 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: promise you he believes fullheartedly that this is what's best 436 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: for the team. That if he is a fully actualized 437 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: human being walking into the locker room come game one 438 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: for you know, the twenty twenty four season with the 439 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: New York Jet, the better the Jets are gonna be. 440 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: And so this is something that's he's had on the calendar. 441 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: And whether he explained that to the Jets ahead of 442 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: time or not, okay, I mean that's between them and him. 443 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: I guess, you know, could they have moved the mini 444 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 2: camp dates around. Maybe do you really want to move 445 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: the dates around the calendar for one player and one 446 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: player alone? Maybe not. But I look at this as 447 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: being one of those things that you have to take 448 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: the good with the bad. The bad is, you know, 449 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 2: obviously at his age, there's a potential of injury, and 450 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: that proneness may grow over time, and we saw an 451 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: example of a freak injury last season. Now, I don't 452 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 2: think it matters how old you are. He would have 453 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: torn his achilles either way, you know, getting tackled the 454 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 2: way he was getting tackled, whether he was a thirty 455 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 2: year old quarterback or a quarterback nearing forty. But when 456 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 2: it comes to Aaron Rodgers specifically, you got to take 457 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: the good with the bad. If you consider bad, well, 458 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: there are gonna be times in the offseason he's unavailable 459 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: because he is globe trotting, finding trying to find the 460 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 2: reasons that we're all here on this planet, or a 461 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: UFO hunting or whatever the hell he needs to do. 462 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: Well that that then you got to take that bed 463 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: for the good play that you're you're promised or you're 464 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: hoping for. On the other side of all that stuff. 465 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's looking for sasquash. 466 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 3: Maybe do you guys want I'll give you the option here. 467 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 3: Do you want my Jets fandom opinion on this or 468 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: my unbiased and betting analyst opinion, unbiased, unbiased opinion. This 469 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: is a non story, complete, non story, nothing burger, and 470 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 3: we won't be talking about it in three months. 471 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: Frankly, in three weeks. The Jets fandom in. 472 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 3: Me is a little bit peeved, like just like, come on, man, 473 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 3: like it's one of those moments as a Jets fan. Now, 474 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 3: my Jets fandom, I would if I had to, like 475 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: allocate and how much of my brain these days is 476 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 3: dedicated towards being a Jets fan compared to being an 477 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: unbiased NFL analyst, I would estimate around a half percent, 478 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: maybe maybe three quarters of a percent. Like, I still 479 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: care about the Jets. I want them to win. When 480 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: they win, I'm happy, my family's happy. But they don't 481 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 3: have an impact on my life like they did when 482 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 3: I was a kid. This, what I'm doing now with you, 483 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: fine folks, is really the big impact of my life. 484 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 3: So let's look at it from that perspective. I'll read 485 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 3: you a tweet from the best player on the Jets 486 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 3: besides Aaron Rodgers Sauce Gardner. 487 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: And this is from two days ago. 488 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 3: Are y'all really making a big deal because of a 489 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 3: fifteen plus year Hall of Fame quarterback miss two days 490 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 3: of practice after being with the team all throughout days one, two, three, 491 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: and OTAs. I think that's kind of the reasonable approach here. 492 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: And that's how I feel about the big picture of this. 493 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 3: Here's the micro from an analyst perspective that I really 494 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 3: dislike Robert Sala just needs to like not be in 495 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,719 Speaker 3: front of a microphone for the rest of like the summer. 496 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: Like I know that's not gonna happen, but he made 497 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: it worse. 498 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, like like he did. 499 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 8: That's this is a So if we're really being honest. 500 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 3: About what the Jets are, Robert sal is not in 501 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 3: the position of power here. It's Aaron Rodgers. I'm not 502 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 3: saying he's the head coach. I'm not saying he makes 503 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 3: decisions like a head coach. But when push comes to 504 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 3: shove at the end of the day, the buck stops 505 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 3: with Aaron Rodgers. If he says he needs something or 506 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 3: this has to happen, it's going to happen. And I 507 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: think Robert sal is kind of like still trying to 508 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 3: be the head coach when we all know that he 509 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 3: doesn't have the kind of power that Aaron does behind 510 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: the scenes. Like I just I think that's how I 511 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 3: feel about the Jets right now, like Aaron's in charge, 512 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: Like whatever you need, Aaron. Last year, it was go 513 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 3: out and get all these guys, but you know you 514 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 3: needed didn't work out, And I think that's why it's 515 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 3: not happening in that way this year. And I think, 516 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: you know, the Jets are going in a different direction 517 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 3: with some of their other players, their skill guys, and 518 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 3: I'm happy with that decision. But Robert made it like 519 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 3: he poured gasoline on the fire with that interview. We're 520 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 3: talking about the interview that he gave and we're quoting that. 521 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: You know, you know, the kind of oh well, we 522 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: you know. 523 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 3: We talked to him and everything's great, but this is 524 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 3: this and to me, that interview made it worse. So 525 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm fine with what happened, Like it's not my ideal 526 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: situation as a Jets fans, as an analyst, I think 527 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 3: you'd rather have Aaron at practice. 528 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: But this is not going to be a story in 529 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: two weeks. I'll tell you who is going to be 530 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: a story in two weeks, in two months, in two years, 531 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: in two decades. That would be Isaac Loewen Crawn. Okay, 532 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: and I could have gone two centuries as well. I 533 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: see the short change. 534 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 4: I see you've been checking out TMZ this morning, and 535 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 4: the answer is I have no comment. 536 00:27:59,560 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: Enough. 537 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 4: You gotta stop hanging out with Ornberger, is all I'm saying. 538 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, blowing too much pork shoulder. 539 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: Torching. 540 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: That's right. 541 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: Those things really need to come with better instruction. Made 542 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 4: like to take this time to apologize to all the 543 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 4: local fire departments in the area and frankly all the. 544 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 2: Pork shoulder also. 545 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 4: Oah, man, I hate to see all that go to waste. Anyway, 546 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 4: Fellas and Game four of the NBA Finals on Friday night, 547 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: the Boston Celtics had a clenching opportunity go to waste 548 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 4: because the Dallas Mavericks blow them out by thirty eight 549 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 4: points one. Twenty two to eighty four is the third 550 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 4: largest blowout in Finals history. Boston still leaves the series 551 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 4: three games to one, with Game five on Monday at Boston. 552 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 4: Instead of me giving you details, I think it would 553 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 4: be better if instead I related the analysis of Magic 554 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 4: Johnson's tweets on Game four of the Finals, as he 555 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 4: posted quote, Dallas raised their intensity and played a lot 556 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 4: more physical on the defensive end. Luca and Kyrie played 557 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 4: like stars with twenty nine and twenty one points respectively. 558 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 4: I can't wait to see what happens back in Boston 559 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 4: Monday night. Exclamation point unquote. Really anyway elsewhere? After Game four, 560 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 4: Charles Barkley had an announcement of his own. 561 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 10: You know, that's been a lot of noise around on 562 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 10: network the last few months, and I just want to say, 563 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 10: I've talked to all the other networks, but I ain't 564 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 10: going nowhere other than TNT. But I have made the 565 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 10: decision myself, no matter what happens, next year is going 566 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 10: to be my last year on television. 567 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 4: Indeed, terrible news for basketball fans. After two rounds of 568 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 4: the US Open, Sweden's Ludwig o'bert has deleted five under 569 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 4: par overall, one shot ahead of Bryson to Shambo, Patrick 570 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 4: Cantley and Belgium's Thomas D.

This is the new way to negotiate 588 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: in sports in this day and age is if you're 589 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: in a contract dispute, just wipe all mention of your 590 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: team from social media. And that has happened with Clay Thompson, 591 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: one of the Splash Brothers. Clay Thompson has wiped all 592 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: things related to the Golden State Warriors from his IG account. 593 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: Does that not sound how? What much more twenty twenty four. 594 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: Can you get than a player? This being Klay Thompson 595 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: scrubbing the Warriors from his ig and it's like, oh, okay, 596 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: the clubs are off right now. Now we're trying to 597 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: really come down to negotiating tactics over here. It's happened 598 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: many times, right, didn't Deebo Samuel do the same thing? 599 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: And he's looking for a deal in the Bay Area. 600 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: Has happened time and time again. 601 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 602 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by it. But for Klay Thompson, I 603 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think new school with Clay, and 604 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: that's not a dis It's just been a great player 605 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: for so long. This is such a new school tactic 606 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: that when Clay does it, I'm like, oh no, they 607 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: got to Clay too. He's wiping the Warriors from his eye. Gee, 608 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: we can't do anything about this going forward? You know, 609 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: this is the new way? 610 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? It really does feel like it is kind of 611 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: an old dog learning new tricks and it feels weird. Right. 612 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: You know, you have a thirteen year old labrador you've 613 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 2: never seen roll over and all of a sudden he 614 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: comes home from the from from the aunt and uncle's 615 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: house who was watching it on a two week vacation, 616 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: and it can roll over for treats. Now You're like, 617 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: where did this come from? You know what I mean? 618 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: Like you're gonna break a hip, you know, like you're 619 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: not a young pup anymore. You can't you can't be 620 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 2: scrubbing your Instagram account. You're gonna break your hip looking 621 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: for that treat. Why don't we just slow down? Clay? 622 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: All right? Remember remember who you are, Remember what you've 623 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: done for this organization and what this organization has done 624 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: for you. And I get it. There was a little 625 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: bit of a blood letting a couple of years ago. 626 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 2: There's not as many familiar faces in the front office. 627 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: They're they're in a new home, you know, they recently 628 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: recently during his career, they move from Oakland to San Francisco, 629 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: So there's a lot new, there's a lot different, and 630 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 2: maybe also he's been treated differently because you know, he 631 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: hasn't been Klay Thompson. He hasn't been the splash brother 632 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 2: he was. And when you start doing the math and 633 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 2: you start thinking about, you know, can we let Clay 634 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: play for a different team? Is this going to be 635 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: a one and done career for Clay, Is it all 636 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 2: that important to the organization that he plays anywhere else? 637 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 2: I think the answer is, and he's probably feeling this well, 638 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 2: Steph's the priority. Let's make sure Steph doesn't play anywhere else. 639 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: And I think unfortunately for Klay Thompson, he's always played 640 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: step brother to Steph Curry in this organization. I'm not 641 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 2: saying he wasn't paid well and I'm not saying he 642 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: didn't get a lot of the acclaim because we know 643 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 2: Klay Thompson in the postseason and what He's still delivered 644 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 2: this team time and time and time again. But let's 645 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 2: be honest. This is Steph's team, and this is this 646 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: is very much, you know, the wingman potentially trying to 647 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 2: step into the spotlight or maybe trying to wring the 648 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: sponge one last time before his career ends. And this 649 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 2: is this is the technique or the tactic that he 650 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 2: wants to apply the pressure to the organization with. I 651 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 2: don't know, but it does feel weird, going back to 652 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: your original point, Brian, like they got to Clay. He's 653 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 2: doing this now, scrubbing the Instagram account. It feels it 654 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 2: feels very strange that it's it's Klay Thompson and he's 655 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: doing it against the Golden State Wars. 656 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm okay with him doing that. 657 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 8: I think this is this is what they do, this 658 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 8: is what the kids do these days. 659 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 3: And Clay's thirty four. I mean, I'm thirty eight. It's 660 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 3: not exactly like he's not like a kid, but this 661 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 3: is this is what this is what I would probably do, 662 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 3: like put your I'm trying to put myself in these players' shoes. 663 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 3: Like they're frustrated they can't control, right, We always say 664 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 3: control what you can control. Can't really control the offer 665 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 3: that the Warriors make or the offers that other teams make, 666 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 3: And the one thing you can. 667 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: Control is who you follow on social media. 668 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 3: Like it's just it like it like that argument for 669 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 3: doing what Clay and a lot of other athletes have done, 670 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 3: it makes sense to me logically, like you can't control 671 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 3: anything else that's happening around you, but I can control 672 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 3: my social media timeline. I have direct control over that, 673 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 3: what I see, who I follow, et cetera, et cetera. 674 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,959 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna focus on that now. 675 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 3: Is it a short sighted, immature thing that you can control? 676 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, social media at its core. 677 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 3: Is the lowest common denominator of society. But that's what 678 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 3: it is, and that's the reality that we live in. 679 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 3: So I'm okay with with with him doing this and 680 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 3: and and I don't want to even call it acting out. 681 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 8: He's just kind of again controlling what he can control. 682 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: I think the question is going forward, how it impacts 683 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 3: the negotiation process, right, Like, I don't know if there 684 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 3: already is a conclusion and we're just kind of waiting 685 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 3: for the chips to fall. Maybe we're waiting for the 686 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 3: finals to end before we get an announcement. You know, 687 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 3: a lot of times players don't like to make unless 688 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 3: you're Alex Rodriguez, make those gigantic, big moves in the 689 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 3: middle of the finals. So I think that is where 690 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 3: my brain goes to first, is like we might already 691 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 3: know the end of this story. We're just waiting for 692 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: the you know, the final shoot to drop between Boston 693 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 3: and Dallas. But I think it makes sense for him 694 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 3: to leave if you think about what he's accomplished and 695 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 3: where the Warriors are as a franchise, Like, I mean, 696 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 3: he's been there, what thirteen years, It's a long time 697 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 3: to be with one franchise in professional sports. I mean 698 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 3: I can probably count on one hand in the last 699 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 3: decade the amount of NBA players that have been with 700 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 3: a team for thirteen years have there. I mean, who 701 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 3: other than maybe Steph on the other side, Like, there's 702 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 3: just not a lot of play. 703 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: Even Lebron, like he bounced around a bunch of teams. 704 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 3: So I think there's there's something to be said about 705 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 3: the longevity he's been there, and it wouldn't be a 706 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 3: surprising outcome if after thirteen years he moved on. But yeah, 707 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 3: social media stuff, eh, kids are kids, right. 708 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: That's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst rich Ornberger, Penn State, 709 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: All American with us here. I'm Brian No coming up next, 710 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: the Parley Platter.

It 712 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio. It 713 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio. Jared 714 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: Smith has been hard at work. Let's get to this. 715 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 6: Check this out, Harlay Flatter. 716 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: Okay, Jared, what do you have for us today? Buddy? Well, 717 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: we're gon doing something new today. 718 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 3: I try I've been dabbling with these in the lab 719 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 3: again the experiment. It's almost like, you know, you're trying 720 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 3: to put all the concoctions together and get the smoke 721 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 3: to be perfect. At Yeah, we're gonna try something today. 722 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 3: This is an SGP plus, all right, what is that mean? Well, 723 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 3: we know about what an SGP is, right, same game parlay. 724 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 3: This is an SGP plus. So we're gonna have a 725 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 3: same game parlay. We're gonna have a total in a 726 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 3: baseball game. We're gonna have a first five and a 727 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 3: full game total parlay. Parlay that together, and then we're 728 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 3: gonna add on a little extra on the side to 729 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 3: make our odds a little higher. 730 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: If you're gonna have to wait an extra day for it, it'll. 731 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 2: Be in the NBA game. 732 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 3: Actually wait two extra days for it. But I think 733 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 3: it'll be worth it at the end of the show, 734 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 3: at the end of the rainbow. 735 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: So let's get to it. 736 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 3: Let's start with the SGP portion before we get to 737 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 3: the plus. We're gonna isolate the Rangers Mariners game. This 738 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 3: game we played around four o'clock up Pacific today. 739 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 1: Really good pitching matchup. 740 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 3: You might hear a little bit more about it later 741 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 3: in the show. During rapid fire when we get to 742 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 3: the Europie Nerfe portion of the program. But I do 743 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 3: think this is going to be an under game. So 744 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,720 Speaker 3: we're gonna take the first five under in Rangers Mariners. 745 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: We're gonna parlay it with the full game under, kind 746 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 3: of like what we did last week with that wacky 747 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 3: London game, which probably should have stayed under the first 748 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 3: five total if Sean and I didn't have like meltdown 749 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 3: in the fourth inning. 750 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: But that's okay, we move on to this game. 751 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 3: Of all these been fantastic for Texas, Kirby's been fantastic 752 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 3: for Seattle. Again, not very high level analysis there. These 753 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 3: teams have been under teams the whole year. If you 754 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 3: can bind the unders for Texas and Seattle this year, 755 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 3: eighty three and fifty three on the season. In this 756 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: particular series, it has been a low scoring series, eight 757 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 3: one and one to the under in the last ten 758 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 3: meetings between the Rangers and the Mariners. Get a little weather 759 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 3: in Seattle tonight, it's like fifty degrees Chile in the 760 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 3: Pacific Northwest. 761 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: Feels like an undergame. 762 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 3: So we'll take the first five full game under Texas Seattle. 763 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 3: We'll put that to the side, the plus portion of 764 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 3: the parle. It's very simple, gentlemen. Celtics win on Monday night, 765 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 3: that's it. Celtics money line will PLoP that in there again. 766 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 3: You throw and smash these SGP plus legs together plus 767 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 3: two seventeen, which feels. 768 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: Like a bet. 769 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,919 Speaker 3: Hey, I know it's not the juiciest bet out there, 770 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 3: but it feels like a bet that I'm gonna get 771 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 3: some value on because I think this Boston number. 772 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 8: As we get to Monday, you will see. 773 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 3: Some hand'll come in on the Celtics, and I think 774 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 3: this number will close north of minus three hundred. So 775 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 3: first inning total Rangers Mariners under three and a half, 776 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 3: full game total Rangers Mariners under six and a half, 777 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 3: and the Celtics on the money line in Game five 778 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 3: plus two seventeen, the first ever SGP plus here on 779 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 3: the show. 780 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 2: Wow, I like it. 781 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: You know, combine different sports. You gotta feel very confident 782 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: about Boston just ending the game outright, that's the anchor 783 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: leg right. 784 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 785 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: So it's about the baseball stuff coming through today, yep, 786 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: and you're looking great. 787 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like unders in baseball.

I mean, he was second at the Masters, 823 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 3: he was in the Ryder Cup before he even competed 824 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 3: in a major. It's very rare for a young golfer 825 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 3: to make the Ryder Cup team before he even competes 826 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 3: in a major. So again, the temperament I think fits. 827 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 3: I like the Bryson story, though I'm kind of over 828 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 3: the Rory stuff. I know he was in the news 829 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 3: recently about you know, his divorce or not getting divorced 830 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 3: or whatever his personal life. Like, I think it's hard 831 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 3: to overcome distractions when you're golfing. Golfing such a mental sport, 832 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 3: so as much as I love Rory, and you know, 833 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 3: I know he's still seeking that that fifth major. He 834 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 3: hasn't it's been a while, But I think I think 835 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 3: the two guys at the top now, Bryson and and 836 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 3: and Oberg are are kind of the two picks to 837 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 3: click for me. Cantley's got the temperament too, but I 838 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 3: don't know something about his Sunday demeanor at a major. 839 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: I just he he hasn't gotten over the hump yet. 840 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 3: He hasn't really had that moment yet, whereas Bryson obviously had. 841 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: Multiple moments, and Oberg. 842 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 3: I think I think the main the Master's performance really 843 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 3: opened my eyes to his game, and those will be 844 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 3: my two picks right now if you want to get 845 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 3: some money down on the Open this weekend. 846 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting what Tiger was talking about, 847 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: just this being the catch twenty two stage of his career, 848 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: where he said, look, if I prepare as much as 849 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: I want to before a Major, my body might betray me. 850 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. He's like, I might not be healthy enough 851 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: to compete in the tournament. So if I sort of 852 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: back off all the training, then I'm not as prepared 853 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not as sharp, but I'm healthy to compete 854 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: in the tournament. So that's just where Tiger is at 855 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: this stage of his career. And missed the cut just 856 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: a couple of strokes off getting there. He didn't get 857 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,439 Speaker 1: a hole in one on eighteen right to sneak in there. 858 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: That was amazing, right with the franchise, Yeah, Mulinari got 859 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: the hole in one on eighteen to barely make the 860 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: cuts wild actually, and you know how much money that 861 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 1: is for these guys. 862 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 8: Incredible amount of money a lot that shot wud absolutely. 863 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 2: You know, And just in terms of difficulty or a 864 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 2: degree of difficulty in terms of us opens, the course 865 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 2: set up, the length of the rough, the length of 866 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 2: the fair way, the greens are almost unfair, how they're pitched. 867 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 2: I think, the work that goes in by the USGA. 868 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 2: It used to drive me crazy. But now as I've 869 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 2: watched golf for a handful more years after first becoming 870 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 2: aware of it and really caring about it. When Tiger Woods, 871 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 2: you know, got on tour and started his run in 872 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 2: the nineties, I used to watch and I love to 873 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: see pros shoot way under part right, It used to 874 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 2: be amazing to see these pros do things that you know, 875 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 2: destroy courses that I would shoot, you know, one hundred 876 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 2: and ten on the they're out there, you know, shooting 877 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 2: is sixty six. But the reality of the USGA is 878 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 2: their goal, their stated goal on every US Open is 879 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,879 Speaker 2: to have the winner shoot par and that means think 880 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 2: about what that means. That means the rest of the 881 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 2: field is over par, like the rest of the field 882 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 2: is in the plus. I think that's a really unique 883 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 2: part of this major that doesn't get spoken about a 884 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 2: lot because, look, the Masters is historic because of Augusta National. 885 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,919 Speaker 2: It's just we've seen every single pro that you've fallen 886 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,439 Speaker 2: in love with play at that course year in year out. 887 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 2: You know. The British Open or the Open Championship we 888 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 2: now call it, it has its charm because that's really 889 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,959 Speaker 2: the cradle of golf, that's where it all started out there, 890 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,399 Speaker 2: you know, in terms of the players or the PGA Championship. 891 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 2: I don't think it has the luster that even the 892 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 2: US Open has because of the amateur at aspect, but 893 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 2: mainly because the USGA does such a good job making 894 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 2: these courses difficult to the point where you'll have a 895 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 2: professional golfer sometimes finish up his first round or his 896 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 2: second round and say like it's unfair out there, like 897 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 2: what how are we supposed to compete? I remember about 898 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 2: it was it five years ago. I forget where they 899 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 2: were playing, but I remember listening to golfer after golfer 900 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 2: coming to the podium after his round, after he signed 901 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 2: his scorecard, going this course is unplayable, like somebody, something 902 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 2: needs to be done. And I think, like the greens 903 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 2: keeper after the game was like, yeah, maybe we should 904 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 2: just like water the course a little bit because it's 905 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 2: it's it's played a little dry out there. But that's 906 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 2: one aspect of the US Open every year that it 907 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 2: began to love more and more seeing golfers actually struggle. 908 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 2: It's something that you rarely see. Do you prefer that? 909 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 3: Then the twenty under I think a couple of weeks 910 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 3: ago is like twenty five under par or one of 911 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 3: these tournaments, and even the even at the PGA Championship 912 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 3: with Valhalla, what it was, I think twenty one under 913 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 3: was the winning score. You had three guys, Bryson was 914 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 3: twenty under, so I I, I don't know. 915 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,880 Speaker 8: I kind of like letting these guys flex. 916 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,720 Speaker 3: I think the best tournament for me is the ones 917 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 3: that are get gradually tougher as the tournament goes on, 918 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,320 Speaker 3: and like Sunday is like the toughest day, it doesn't 919 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,759 Speaker 3: always work out that way. Usually the pin placements have 920 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 3: a big impact on that. A lot of times the 921 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 3: Saturday pin placements can be the more devilish one. Right, 922 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 3: they call Saturday moving day. But Sunday to me, like, 923 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 3: I think there's something still pure about a golf major. 924 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,959 Speaker 3: Whereas even though I'm not as big of a golf 925 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 3: fan as I used to be, Like I grew up 926 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 3: watching Tiger. That's one of the reasons that I really 927 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 3: started playing golf was I was ten years old in 928 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,359 Speaker 3: ninety six when he won this first Masters, and I 929 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 3: was always gonna be into golf, but his rise really 930 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 3: accelerated my fandom. And it's weird watching him struggle now. 931 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 3: It's just like you know, father time, like it's just 932 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 3: going through the swings of life. 933 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: It'd be great to see him win another one. I 934 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: don't think he's going. 935 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,839 Speaker 3: To maybe he'll maybe he'll compet it Augusta. I think 936 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 3: that's the only major he has a chance is the Masters. 937 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 3: But when I watch these guys on Sunday, I think 938 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 3: the biggest and this sounds really weird, but I think 939 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,800 Speaker 3: the hardest sport to play is golf. 940 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 8: I think the hardest thing to do in sports is 941 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 8: hit a. 942 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 3: Baseball ninety five miles an hour coming at you with 943 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 3: a round ball, round bat. 944 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 2: But I think the. 945 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 3: Hardest sport day in day out because of the mental 946 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 3: grind it takes and there's no teammates. You're just out 947 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 3: there on your own. I think being like hitting a 948 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 3: golf ball three hundred yards straight and doing it again 949 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 3: and then again and then again and. 950 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 1: Then taking spin off it. 951 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 3: Like the way that these guys shape the ball and 952 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 3: like just how they it's it's incredible, like they are majestic. 953 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 3: We don't think of like golfers as these like majestic athletes. 954 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 3: It is when you go to a golf tournament and 955 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 3: watch them hit the ball the way they hit it, 956 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 3: it is ridiculous. And then you try to do it 957 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,479 Speaker 3: and it's like, wait, what am I missing here? Because 958 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 3: like most people are like, yeah, they can make a 959 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 3: free throw, they can make a three point shot if 960 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 3: they got enough opportunities, nobody could do what these guys 961 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:54,280 Speaker 3: do on the course. 962 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 2: It is. 963 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 1: It is majestic. If you want a good sweat, betting 964 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: these yes is a good way to agree. Oh my gosh, yeah, 965 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: because it can come down to yeah, if you're on 966 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: the under, literally a putt could lip out and that's 967 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 1: the difference of you miss it by one stroke or whatever. 968 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: Unlimited scenarios where you can do that on many of 969 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 1: the shops bet MGM has some of those available, so 970 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 1: shop around it. It's it can be pretty five like 971 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: hole by hole. See, I just that's just too random 972 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: to me. But yeah, I mean some people have a 973 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: better feel for it. But if you're looking for a 974 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: good sweat, that might be the way to go. Now 975 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: we get to the drama and the cover up here 976 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 1: real fast. So MLB has disciplined umpire Pat Hoberg for 977 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,360 Speaker 1: violating the league's gambling rules. Now we don't have many details. 978 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 1: Maybe he was betting on round props for golf majors, 979 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: we don't know, but this is the statement from MLB quote. 980 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 1: During this year's spring training, Major League Baseball commenced an 981 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: investigation regarding a potential violation of MLB's sports betting policies 982 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: by umpire Pat Hoberg. Mister Hoburg was removed from the 983 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: field during the pendency of that investigation. While MLB's investigation 984 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: did not find any evidence that games worked by mister 985 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: Hoburg were compromised or manipulated in any way, MLB determined 986 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: that discipline was warranted. Mister Hoburg has chosen to appeal 987 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 1: that determination. Therefore, we cannot comment further until the appeal 988 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 1: process is concluded. So that's the statement from MLB. Here's 989 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 1: the deal. We don't have many details, Nope. What we 990 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 1: can gather is, as far as we know, he didn't 991 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: bet on baseball, because that would be a lifetime ban. 992 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 1: Baseball would have been better off coming out and saying, hey, 993 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: this this umpire was betting on games, not baseball. But 994 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: that's a violation and this is the punishment. They should 995 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 1: have just been clear with it. Instead they hit it. 996 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: This is back in spring training. We're just finding out 997 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: about this in mid June, and now they're very secretive 998 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 1: about what the details are. They're hiding behind this. Well, 999 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 1: he's a BEELD, so we can't really comment. They're just 1000 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 1: hoping this goes away. They'd be better off back in 1001 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: spring training saying hey, an umpire got popped he's not 1002 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 1: allowed to bet on anything. He was betting on college football. 1003 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 1: He's a big Longhorns fan. Whatever, it, just give us 1004 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: some details instead of hiding it because it looks like 1005 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: something worse might be going on here when it's just 1006 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:41,720 Speaker 1: this very vague hey, umpire suspended and we're like, whoa 1007 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: is this Tim Donaghue all over again? Baseball has completely 1008 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:45,920 Speaker 1: botched this. 1009 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I also feel like slow 1010 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 2: playing a situation like this, taking this long for an 1011 00:52:54,320 --> 00:53:00,160 Speaker 2: investigation while it's thorough, Why don't you why don't you 1012 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 2: do this? And and I'm not if if he's found 1013 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 2: innocent of overall of of you know, the most deceitful crimes, 1014 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 2: that's the wrong word to use. But but rules broken, 1015 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 2: I guess is a better way to describe it. Okay, great, 1016 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 2: but apply some discipline out in front of this and 1017 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 2: then say and and by the way, quick to the public, 1018 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 2: more discipline will be applied if we if we uncover 1019 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 2: any more nefarious action, right, you know what I'm saying. 1020 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 2: So whatever it is, like, suspend them, you know what 1021 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 2: I mean? Whatever, whatever rules he's broken already during the 1022 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 2: course of this investigation, suspend him for those rules broken, 1023 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,600 Speaker 2: but then like, let's let's then let's then try to 1024 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 2: get to the bottom of this before that first suspension 1025 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 2: is up or put them on paid leave, you know 1026 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like, you know, there are a lot 1027 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,320 Speaker 2: of different ways to handle situations like this, but yeah, 1028 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 2: it's always look, the cover up is always worse than 1029 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 2: the crime, and so I feel like in a lot 1030 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 2: of ways this it's not quite the right example to 1031 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 2: apply to this, but it kind of feels like that's 1032 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,719 Speaker 2: what's going on. It's like, ah, we don't want this 1033 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 2: to be a big story unless we know it needs 1034 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 2: to be a big story. It's like, no, no, no, When 1035 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 2: an umpire is involved in any sort of betting scandal, 1036 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,880 Speaker 2: hard stop. It's a big story. So handle it like 1037 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 2: it's a big story. Yeah. 1038 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 3: I have mixed thoughts about this because obviously, you know, 1039 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 3: we're very closely connected to the growth of legalized gambling 1040 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 3: in this country, and I think we saw a very 1041 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,720 Speaker 3: you know, a negative story over the last few weeks 1042 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 3: with other players being suspended. I think that story, if 1043 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 3: you really dig deeper into the players, what they were 1044 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 3: betting on, how much they were betting, kind of a 1045 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,359 Speaker 3: non story at the end of the day, it's kind 1046 00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 3: of like the system is working and these very low 1047 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 3: level I would say, Pops, and I'm okay with you know, 1048 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 3: coming out and saying it's not necessarily the gambling that's 1049 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 3: the problem, but it's some of the bad actors. 1050 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 8: I have no idea how to comment on this story. 1051 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, because if it's if it is this act or 1052 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 3: this umpire. And by the way, like he's not a shit, 1053 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 3: Like he's not Angel Hernandez, who is like the worst umpire. Like, 1054 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 3: if it was Angel Hernandez, a lot more about his 1055 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 3: career would have made sense. 1056 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: But also this is a very decorated umpire. 1057 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 3: He had a one hundred Like what he's known for 1058 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 3: is back in the twenty two World Series having a 1059 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 3: one hundred percent success right on balls and strikes. You 1060 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 3: know how hard that is, No, Yeah, in the course 1061 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,880 Speaker 3: of a game like two hundred plus pitches to not 1062 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,839 Speaker 3: miss one pitch in. 1063 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 1: The World Series. 1064 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 3: So this guy is a I don't I don't know 1065 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 3: if he's like as highly regarded amongst his peers, but 1066 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 3: amongst us looking from the outside in, this is. 1067 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,719 Speaker 1: One of the best umpires in baseball. 1068 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 3: Young gets the sport not a dinosaur, doesn't have bunny ears, 1069 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,680 Speaker 3: and oh, by the way, really good at calling balls strikes. 1070 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 3: And when I say doesn't have bunny ears, not one 1071 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 3: of those guys that immediately kicked someone out of the 1072 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 3: game the second he hears something like we call it 1073 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,320 Speaker 3: rabbit ears. You know, the umpires are always just listening. 1074 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 3: And it's such a problem in today's game where guys 1075 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 3: are getting kicked out for really low level arguments and 1076 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 3: we just need to like relax. But the umpires, they 1077 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 3: think they're part of the game sometimes, like honestly, like 1078 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 3: people like I think they are convinced that people go 1079 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,439 Speaker 3: there to watch them some days. 1080 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 1: It's crazy. 1081 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 8: But I don't know how to comment on this story yet, 1082 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 8: well because I don't know what. 1083 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 2: He was betting on. 1084 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,280 Speaker 1: That's the thing is, that's why baseball should have been transparent. 1085 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 1: If he wasn't betting on baseball, just say what he 1086 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,799 Speaker 1: was betting on, and don't leave our imaginations. Yes to 1087 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: run wild. Why do you think the NBA has a 1088 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: last two minute report that it's all solely designed so 1089 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 1: it puts your mind at ease, like there isn't something 1090 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: the fairy is going on here? These officials aren't on 1091 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 1: the take. That's what it's solely designed for. It Now, 1092 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it works, but that's either here nor there. 1093 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 1: That's the reason why they do. That's so bad. But 1094 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: with baseball, earlier this month, you guys talked about it. 1095 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: We had details with these players who got popped in 1096 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 1: your backyard. Rich you had tokiped at Marcana. He's banned 1097 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: in definitely, which might be for life. And it's we 1098 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 1: have details. Okay, he was betting on baseball, right. 1099 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 3: And we knew how much, which games, We knew everything. 1100 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: We knew the timeline, we knew the amount of money, 1101 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: the minor leaguers. We had these three minor leaguers who 1102 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: were betting under one thousand dollars on Major League Baseball games. 1103 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: They're gone for a year. We have details with all 1104 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: of that. So if Baseball came out and said we 1105 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 1: haven't found anything about him betting on baseball, then tell 1106 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,479 Speaker 1: us what he was betting on doesn't matter. 1107 00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 3: He's betting on something else. Like let's say he was 1108 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 3: betting on college but he's a big Longhorns fan. Like, 1109 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 3: does that affect how you view an umpire? 1110 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 1: No, would you be upset about. I don't care at all. 1111 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 1: As long as you are not betting on baseball, whether 1112 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: you're an umpire or a player, I'm good with it. 1113 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: That's the day and age we're in. 1114 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I mean I would look at it 1115 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 2: no differently than you know, if a guy was betting 1116 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 2: at a blackjack table the night before. You know what 1117 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 2: I mean, Like, the only the only problem I have 1118 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 2: is if a rule was broken, like for example, if 1119 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 2: if it was strictly forbidden by umpires to to bet 1120 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 2: to sports bet at all, like you know, And I 1121 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 2: don't know if that's a rule, but if I think 1122 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 2: it is, okay. 1123 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: That's the problem with this story. 1124 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 2: So so here I go, like, I get what you 1125 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 2: guys are saying, and I'm I'm interested in growing the 1126 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 2: the uh whatever you want to call it, the interest 1127 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 2: in sports betting, because I don't think it's hurting people 1128 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 2: as much as some would would try to convince you 1129 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 2: it is. I I I definitely think there are negative 1130 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 2: aspects of any Look, there's negative aspects of drinking. But 1131 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 2: do I drink? Yeah, because it's a social lubricant. It's 1132 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's when you can control it, it 1133 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,680 Speaker 2: can have an enormously positive aspect on your life when 1134 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 2: you're in you know, social cheers in to uh uh, 1135 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 2: some congratulating, somebody going to somebody's house, opening a bottle 1136 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 2: of wine with people you haven't seen in a while. Like, 1137 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,480 Speaker 2: those are things that are baked into our culture. And 1138 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 2: some people think of drinking in any form as you know, 1139 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 2: a devil's delight, like we should not participate, it should 1140 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 2: not be a part of our lives. There's many other people, 1141 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 2: many many, the vast majority of people who think it's 1142 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 2: culturally important. I think sports betting is gonna get to 1143 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 2: that point. I think we're gonna look at back on 1144 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 2: rules like this that Major League Baseball has set forth 1145 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 2: for their umpires as archaic. But you know what, right 1146 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 2: now we're living in a world where those are the rules, 1147 00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 2: and if you want that job, you've got to find 1148 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 2: those rules. And so it does affect my view on 1149 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 2: this this umpire because his judgment, I mean, like when 1150 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 2: somebody breaks a rule that they're aware of, you question 1151 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,120 Speaker 2: their judgment. So I'm not I'm not saying it's having 1152 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 2: an effect on his ability to umpire game. Clearly, clearly 1153 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 2: it isn't. And I think you did a good job, 1154 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 2: Jared of like laying out how he compares to his peers. 1155 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,640 Speaker 2: He's an excellent umpire. But I do think it speaks 1156 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 2: loudly about his judgment and if he's willing to break 1157 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 2: that rule, what other rules is he willing to break? 1158 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 2: And that's that's where this becomes a sticky situation. 1159 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 1: Then I just quickly I think the timing is weird here. 1160 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 3: I agree that if we if this was, if this 1161 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 3: guy hasn't ump the game all year, why like this 1162 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 3: should have been a story months. 1163 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 1: Ago spring training kind of just come out hit us 1164 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 1: with it. That's a rich Orenberger Penn State All American 1165 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: is with us. Jared Smith FSR betting analyst on Brian 1166 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 1: coming up next. It's a lot of cash? Is it 1167 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 1: too much money? It's Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox 1168 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It is Fox Sports Saturday right here on 1169 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. So Trevor Lawrence got paid Jaguars quarterback here, 1170 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 1: It's amazing. So we always talk about the rookie quarterback 1171 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 1: contract being the biggest advantage in the NFL, and it 1172 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 1: absolutely is. Say the Houston Texans with c J. Stroud, 1173 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: they have struck gold and he is on the cheap 1174 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: for the first at least three years of his NFL career. 1175 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:41,920 Speaker 1: Compare Trevor Lawrence what he just signed for and Jaden Daniels. 1176 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,920 Speaker 1: He's the number two overall pick. J just signed this 1177 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: week with the Washington Commanders. So Trevor Lawrence five years, 1178 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars guaranteed, let's go by the guaranteed money. 1179 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 1: Five years, two hundred mill guaranteed. Jaden Daniels four years, 1180 01:01:56,040 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: not even thirty eight million dollars fully guaranteed on his 1181 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 1: rookie deal. So that's why we've seen the last handful 1182 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: of teams that have made the Super Bowl. There have 1183 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: been quarterbacks on rookie contracts. Brock Purdy was on his 1184 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 1: rookie deal with San Francisco. You saw Jalen Hurts on 1185 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,120 Speaker 1: his rookie deal. Joe Burrow was on his rookie deal. 1186 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 1: All those teams made the Super Bowl the last three years. 1187 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,720 Speaker 1: So we'll see if the next crop of quarterbacks, if 1188 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams hits or anybody else hits, but if they 1189 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 1: find a CJ. Stroud, if they can go on a 1190 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 1: run like those other teams that made it to the 1191 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and it takes more than just a quarterback 1192 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 1: on the cheap. We know that, but that is the 1193 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: biggest advantage in football, and it begs the question, when 1194 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: you have to back up the brinks truck, are you 1195 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 1: comfortable doing that for Trevor Lawrence. I think he's been good. 1196 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: It's there, it just hasn't been put together yet. But man, 1197 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 1: when you've got to pay him two hundred million dollars guaranteed, 1198 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 1: that is a leap of faith that the light bulb 1199 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: will go on over these next handful of years. 1200 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 2: I personally think you have to do it, unfortunately if 1201 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 2: you're the Jacksonville Jaguars. And I do mean unfortunately because 1202 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:15,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're going to have to a man. 1203 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 2: Every single or woman, every single Jacksonville Jaguars fan agree 1204 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 2: that he deserves it. It still definitely feels like you're 1205 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 2: paying him off of potential. But the potential is great. 1206 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 2: You've seen what this product looks like at the NFL level. 1207 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 2: He can definitely play at this level when he's better protected. 1208 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 2: When the Jags have had higher ranked offensive lines, he's 1209 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 2: been more efficient. So if you fix some problems around him, 1210 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 2: he will deliver you some greatness. It's just to what 1211 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 2: level we don't know yet because there hasn't been significant 1212 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:55,440 Speaker 2: or consistent high level play around Trevor Lawrence. Now, look, 1213 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 2: I think these conversations get into a space where people go, 1214 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,160 Speaker 2: you know, again going back to does he deserve it 1215 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 2: or not? And I understand why you can't look at 1216 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 2: this like these are humans. It's easier if you look 1217 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 2: at these salaries as if they're assets. So think about 1218 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 2: the housing market. And I always make this comparison with 1219 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,439 Speaker 2: quarterbacks because it makes sense to people. It makes sense 1220 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 2: to me. You know, when you look at a three 1221 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,960 Speaker 2: bedroom house, you're looking at a three bedroom house. You know, 1222 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 2: it does the same thing for you, whether it's in 1223 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 2: this neighborhood versus that neighborhood. You know, it's got a roof, 1224 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 2: it's got a fireplace maybe, you know, maybe it's got 1225 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 2: a certain amount of square footage in the yard. You know, 1226 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. But certain houses, depending on their 1227 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 2: zip code, are more expensive than other houses, even though 1228 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 2: they're the exact same You may have the same layout. 1229 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 2: If you live in a house in Iowa near the 1230 01:04:55,640 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 2: Mississippi River, as a house that's in the hill of 1231 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,560 Speaker 2: West Hollywood or Beverly Hills or you know, or somewhere 1232 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 2: out on the Hamptons. But guess what, the house in 1233 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 2: the Hamptons or the house in Beverly Hills is gonna 1234 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,520 Speaker 2: be worth more than the house in Iowa because you're 1235 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 2: paying for the land, you're not paying for the house. 1236 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 2: And that's the market of the quarterback. You're not necessarily 1237 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 2: just paying for Trevor Lawrence. You're paying for the zip 1238 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 2: code that he exists in. So if he's in, you know, 1239 01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 2: the nine oh two one zero zip code, you're gonna 1240 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 2: pay a premium for a three bedroom home. I'm sorry, 1241 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 2: that's just the way this game is played now. So 1242 01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,280 Speaker 2: whether or not Trevor Lawrence deserves fifty or fifty five 1243 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 2: million dollars a year or an annual salary, whatever that is, 1244 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 2: I mean that that can be debated. Sure if you 1245 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 2: want to say, you know, it was an overinflated salary, 1246 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 2: if you want to have that conversation, sure you can. 1247 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 2: But this is what it is. And by the way, 1248 01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 2: everybody's looking for a fixed er upper. Who's who who's 1249 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,479 Speaker 2: not interested in making that investment? They're taking risk. Also, 1250 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 2: so the Jacksonville Jaguars are taking risk by paying a 1251 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 2: huge salary. Well, how about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They 1252 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 2: just signed up for the next three years with their 1253 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 2: quarterback Baker Mayfield, and it feels like they bought a 1254 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 2: fixer on the same block that Trevor lives on. Well, 1255 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,919 Speaker 2: the deal is this, I mean, hopefully they don't find 1256 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 2: bats in that attic. Hopefully the plumbing's good, you know. 1257 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,440 Speaker 2: And what Baker Mayfield did last year for the Tampa 1258 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers matches what he does this year for the 1259 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Will find out. But there's a risk 1260 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 2: whether you spend the money or you don't spend the money, 1261 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 2: whether you're buying a fixer, or you're buying a you know, 1262 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:47,440 Speaker 2: one remodeled, you know, turn key ready to move in property, 1263 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 2: you're still shopping in an expensive neighborhood. Yeah, it is. 1264 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 3: It is a financial thing. It's an asset thing. It's 1265 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 3: an inflation like there's all these like boring money properties 1266 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 3: involved with this. 1267 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 1: But let's boil it down and we'll play a game. 1268 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 3: Here is here are the quarterbacks that I'm taking the 1269 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 3: full value of the contract if you want to go guaranteed. 1270 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 3: Actually Yeah, let's go guarantee, because I think that's where 1271 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 3: you know, NFL money is kind of gravitating towards these days, right, 1272 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 3: the guaranteed money Trevor Lawrence received. Here, I am going 1273 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 3: to list and name quarterbacks that he's making more guaranteed 1274 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 3: money then, and you guys stop me when I get 1275 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 3: to the name where it's like, Okay, Trevor deserves to 1276 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:39,080 Speaker 3: be in that group. Lamar Jackson, Justin, Herbert, Jared Goff, 1277 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 3: Dalen Hurts, Kyler, Murray, Josh Allen, Dak Prescott. These are 1278 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 3: quarterbacks that Trevor Lawrence is making more guaranteed money. Then 1279 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 3: there's only two quarterbacks in the league that he's making 1280 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 3: less guaranteed money then Watson and Burrow. Now, the Watson 1281 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 3: contract is just absurd, It's like an albatross. I think 1282 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 3: Burrow they're in the same stratosphere in terms of how 1283 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 3: much guaranteed money they're making. But my point being, do 1284 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 3: we consider Trevor in that tier? Lamar Jackson, Justin, Herbert, 1285 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 3: Jared Goff, Hurts, Well, Burrow, Kyler, Go ahead, Brian, what 1286 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 3: do you. 1287 01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 1: Think I would say this? I would say to a 1288 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 1: couple of those quarterbacks who's his CD Lamb. If we're 1289 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,599 Speaker 1: comparing him to Dak who's his Amen ro Saint Brown, 1290 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: if we're comparing him to Jared Goff. Like, that's one 1291 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 1: thing that I would point out, look at the supporting 1292 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 1: cast to be fair, right, this isn't all on the 1293 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 1: supporting cast. Some of it is on him, but that's 1294 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:33,479 Speaker 1: a part of the equation. 1295 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 3: I think I think he has a better supporting cast 1296 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:40,639 Speaker 3: this year. I think I hope that there's a little 1297 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 3: more consistency with that offense this year. 1298 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:48,000 Speaker 8: But I'll be honest, if we're basing it off of kind. 1299 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 3: Of where we grade these quarterbacks, if we were doing 1300 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 3: a power ratings, I think I would put Lamar and 1301 01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:00,680 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert and even Jared Goff and probably Ja and 1302 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,719 Speaker 3: probably Josh Allen ahead of Trevor Lawrence. 1303 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 2: Right. 1304 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: That's why I wonder not to cut you off till 1305 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:11,600 Speaker 1: you think about this. If you swapped supporting casts, what 1306 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,839 Speaker 1: is Jalen Hurts with the Jags? What is Trevor Lawrence 1307 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 1: with the Eagles? 1308 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:22,479 Speaker 3: I think Jalen Hurts with the Jags would be it 1309 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 3: would be a struggle. I think Trevor Lawrence with the 1310 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 3: Eagles would probably be an upgrade. 1311 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 8: Right, Like I think I think if if if I put. 1312 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,120 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence on the Eagles tomorrow, or let's even make 1313 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,719 Speaker 3: another example, how about this is I like this example 1314 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,559 Speaker 3: a lot because I think it kind of puts our 1315 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 3: brain in the frame of reference where we were four 1316 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 3: months ago in the AC Championship game. Swap out Trevor 1317 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,400 Speaker 3: Lawrence and Lamar Jackson in the AC Championship game, Ravens Chiefs. 1318 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 1: Do the Chiefs win that game? I still think they do. 1319 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,440 Speaker 1: It's no way to know, yeah. 1320 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 3: But I think, like in my eyes, like I think 1321 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 3: Trevor gives them a better chance to win that game 1322 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 3: than Lamar did. Like, and that's where I struggle with 1323 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 3: a lot of the oh he's making too much. Yeah, 1324 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 3: but if you really kind of grade these quarterbacks out 1325 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,680 Speaker 3: to where we kind of put them in tiers, like 1326 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 3: I think that Trevor kind of deserves to be in 1327 01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 3: that top tier. 1328 01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 8: Now, is he better than these guys? Probably not, but 1329 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,000 Speaker 8: he kind of deserves to be in the conversation. 1330 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,559 Speaker 1: I think let's pick it back up in a second, Rich, 1331 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 1: because you talk about deserving to be in the conversation, 1332 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 1: there could not be a better segue then that as 1333 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: it applies to the one and only Isaac loewen Krag, 1334 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 1: who we graciously invite to our little pow wow over here. 1335 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:44,519 Speaker 2: What's going on? 1336 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,680 Speaker 4: I low always appreciated being part of the conversation with 1337 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,800 Speaker 4: you guys, Brian Rich and Jared And we start with 1338 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 4: Game four of the NBA Finals on Friday night, as 1339 01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,800 Speaker 4: the Dallas Mavericks stayed alive and then some, beating the 1340 01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,760 Speaker 4: Boston Celtics by thirty eight points one twenty two to 1341 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,719 Speaker 4: eighty four. It was the third largest blowout in Finals history. 1342 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,639 Speaker 4: It also broke the Celtics ten game playoff winning streak. 1343 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 4: They still lead the series, however, three games to one, 1344 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 4: with Game five on Monday at Boston. 1345 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 2: Elsewhere. 1346 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 4: After Game four, Charles Barkley had the following announcement to 1347 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:17,439 Speaker 4: make you know. 1348 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,760 Speaker 10: There's been a lot of noise around on network the 1349 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 10: last few months, and I just want to say I've 1350 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,160 Speaker 10: talked to all the other networks, but I ain't going 1351 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:30,840 Speaker 10: nowhere other than TNT. But I have made the decision myself, 1352 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 10: no matter what happens, next year is going to be 1353 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:35,560 Speaker 10: my last year on television. 1354 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,479 Speaker 4: No reaction yet from the women of San Antonio anyway elsewhere. 1355 01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 4: After two rounds of the US Open, Sweden's Ludwig Obert 1356 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,240 Speaker 4: has deleted five under par overall, one shot ahead of 1357 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 4: Bryson De'shambo, Patrick Kentley and Belgium Thomas Dietree. Baseball Friday 1358 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,320 Speaker 4: Night Dodgers over the Royals four to three.

Seattle is one fourteen of its 1362 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 4: last nineteen and back to the triumvirant, trium barret, triumvirent. Wow, 1363 01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 4: there's no thing as no such thing as a triumvirant. 1364 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,920 Speaker 4: Back to the triumviret of Brian Rich and Jared. 1365 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. 1366 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. 1367 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:21,559 Speaker 2: Man. 1368 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,640 Speaker 1: It's Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio. You know, 1369 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,960 Speaker 1: before I hand the batond to you Rich, I'm just 1370 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,200 Speaker 1: thinking about this, all this quarterback contract stuff to a 1371 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,479 Speaker 1: to a tongue of I lois looking for a big 1372 01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:36,639 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence type extension. I think the question comes down 1373 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,560 Speaker 1: to this, because you're talking about real estate with the 1374 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 1: quarterback market, and I get that rich. The question that 1375 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,960 Speaker 1: I have in my mind, and I think organizations should 1376 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: have in their minds, is if we're thinking about paying 1377 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,759 Speaker 1: a quarterback, can this guy still be a difference maker 1378 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,560 Speaker 1: when we have to pay him huge money and skimp elsewhere. 1379 01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 1: That's the question, Mahomes, they lose Tykill, is he still 1380 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: a difference maker? You better believe it is. Brock Purdy Still, 1381 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a difference maker right now, But 1382 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,679 Speaker 1: is he a difference maker going forward? If you pay 1383 01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,240 Speaker 1: him huge money and have to skip elsewhere, maybe you 1384 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,759 Speaker 1: lose George Kittle, maybe you lose an offensive lineman Tua. 1385 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 1: Is he going to be a difference maker if you 1386 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: lose some of that offensive line or lose a big playmaker. 1387 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 1: That's the question you have to ask yourself, because if 1388 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: you're overpaying a quarterback that isn't producing to the same 1389 01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,519 Speaker 1: level of what he's getting paid, you're screwed that way 1390 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 1: too than not having a quarterback. In general, it works 1391 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 1: both ways, and that's what you have to keep in mind. 1392 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:42,040 Speaker 2: One well, and see what the reason why the comparison 1393 01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 2: to the housing market does make sense. Even in the 1394 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 2: case that you're raising there there there are risks of 1395 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 2: overpaying for the zip code. You know, so you buy 1396 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:57,759 Speaker 2: out turnkey house or what you presume is a turnkey house, 1397 01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 2: sometimes you still end up having problem. You know, you 1398 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 2: you you buy the house, it's got all the finishes 1399 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 2: and the perfect backyard, but then you find out there's gophers. 1400 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 2: You know, you buy the house, it's got all the finishes. 1401 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,679 Speaker 1: Go first, yeah, you know, dig it up your yard. 1402 01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:14,720 Speaker 1: You spend one right there for me. 1403 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 2: You buy the house, it's cir kids, got all the finishes, 1404 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 2: and it has plumbing or electrical issues where you know, 1405 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,040 Speaker 2: you got to tear out some of those finishes and 1406 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,559 Speaker 2: fix those problems before you can even live in the thing. 1407 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,519 Speaker 2: You know that that stuff comes up when you make 1408 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:36,320 Speaker 2: that investment. But likewise, you're onboarding a significant risk when 1409 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 2: you step away from a quarterback like that. So I 1410 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,559 Speaker 2: get the conundrum in Miami right now, or even to 1411 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 2: a greater or lesser extent, in Dallas right now, because 1412 01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 2: immediately I started thinking about Dak Prescott. As soon as 1413 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence signed this deal, I was like, well, you know, 1414 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,920 Speaker 2: Dak and his agent are on the phone with Stephen 1415 01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 2: Jones and Jerry going, hey, guess what, guys, the price 1416 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,560 Speaker 2: just went up because now a new house or i 1417 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 2: should say an old house on the block just resold 1418 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 2: and they got a ton more money for it. So 1419 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,000 Speaker 2: we told you if you drag your feet, it was 1420 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,120 Speaker 2: gonna become more expensive to do business, you know at 1421 01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,759 Speaker 2: uh you know what, you know, at one Cowboys Place, 1422 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,720 Speaker 2: whatever address they're at, you know. But that's that's the 1423 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:24,519 Speaker 2: deal with this now. So say Tua, say Miami says, yeah, 1424 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,479 Speaker 2: we've seen enough from Tua. We're moving on. Well, yeah, 1425 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,679 Speaker 2: there's a risk in investing in Tua, but there's also 1426 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 2: a risk to not invest with Tua and go back 1427 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 2: into the QB market and say, all right, we're gonna 1428 01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:39,200 Speaker 2: draft a rookie quarterback or all right, we're gonna take 1429 01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 2: a chance on a Baker Mayfield like the Tampa Bay 1430 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:46,360 Speaker 2: Buccaneers did that. It's a boomer bust potential, whereas with Tua, 1431 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,679 Speaker 2: you kind of know what you have now. Is Tua 1432 01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 2: super Bowl champion quarterback? In my opinion, No, But does 1433 01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:01,800 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel see it differently? Maybe so. The organization do 1434 01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,280 Speaker 2: they see it differently, maybe so, And so that investment 1435 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 2: to them may be more worth it on the inside 1436 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,040 Speaker 2: than somebody on the outside looking at. 1437 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 3: The irony is Jags Dolphins Week one? Brian, Yeah, Laurence too. 1438 01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,759 Speaker 1: Here we go, they'll both be paid. 1439 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:20,000 Speaker 2: There. 1440 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 1: Last super quick thing to keep in mind here, ask 1441 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 1: yourself another question. If Jacksonville didn't give Trevor Lawrence this contract, 1442 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,519 Speaker 1: would another team give him that? And that's where it 1443 01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 1: gets back to the housing market where you're talking about, right, 1444 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 1: is the real estate and you better believe somebody else 1445 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,679 Speaker 1: would be paying him this much money. That's the going 1446 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 1: absolutely right. So it does come down to that as well. 1447 01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,559 Speaker 1: All Right, We've got rich Oornberger, Penn State, All American, 1448 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,679 Speaker 1: Jared Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian No. Coming up next, 1449 01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:55,040 Speaker 1: we bond through prop becks. Will unveil a list for you. 1450 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 1: Right around the corner. It's Fox Sports Saturday right here 1451 01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,680 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox Sports. It's Saturday 1452 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:05,400 Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's dive into the prop 1453 01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:09,760 Speaker 1: bet waters. Shall we drop it up? 1454 01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 2: Player plays? 1455 01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,439 Speaker 1: Okay, so many possibilities, Jared, what do you have on 1456 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:16,559 Speaker 1: your radar here? Sir? 1457 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 3: Let's go to the Bay Area and we have the 1458 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 3: Angels in the Giants afternoon game. Patrick Sandibal lefty on 1459 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 3: the mound for the Angels. We're gonna go under seventeen 1460 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:27,760 Speaker 3: and a half outs. 1461 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 1: Here's why. 1462 01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,240 Speaker 8: So he's gone under a nine of fourteen this year. 1463 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:30,679 Speaker 1: That's good. 1464 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,519 Speaker 3: His recent stuff's actually been better. He's been a little 1465 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,720 Speaker 3: bit more efficient in games recently. He's gone over this 1466 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 3: number in five of the last seven, so again under 1467 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,200 Speaker 3: early in the year over lately, but he's just barely 1468 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:48,800 Speaker 3: getting to eighteen outs, which is six innings in four 1469 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 3: of the five overs in this recent stretch he's just 1470 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,559 Speaker 3: got eighteen. So it's not like he's crushing this number. 1471 01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,080 Speaker 3: He's kind of been hovering in the eighteen out range 1472 01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 3: over the last few starts. And I think you look 1473 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 3: at this Giants team, it's a matchup edge for them 1474 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:06,000 Speaker 3: because they like to be patient at the play. They 1475 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,719 Speaker 3: actually have the highest walk rate in the league against 1476 01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 3: lefties this. 1477 01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 1: Year, over twelve percent. 1478 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 8: Sandoval can be a little bit wild sometimes. 1479 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,960 Speaker 3: He's at at least three walks in three of his 1480 01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 3: last four starts, at. 1481 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: Least two walks and all but one road start this year. 1482 01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: So you could bind the fact. 1483 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,759 Speaker 3: That Sandival's just getting eighteen ouns the Giants a little 1484 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,640 Speaker 3: bit more patient than usual. Sandoval sometimes can be a 1485 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,559 Speaker 3: little bit wild with his control, will go under seventeen 1486 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,520 Speaker 3: and a half outs. I don't think Sandoval. 1487 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,639 Speaker 8: Reaches the sixth inning today against the Giants. 1488 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:39,880 Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna send you guys to the NBA 1489 01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:43,679 Speaker 2: and send us to Monday, where the Celtics will host 1490 01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 2: the Mavericks in Boston. If you remember the first two 1491 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,960 Speaker 2: games of the NBA Finals this series, the under hit twice, 1492 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,759 Speaker 2: So I like to take the under on the points 1493 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 2: totals for Luka, Doncis and Jason Tatum. Luca thirty two 1494 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,679 Speaker 2: and a half, I'll take the under there, Jason Tatum 1495 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,880 Speaker 2: twenty seven and a half, I'll take the under there 1496 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 2: as well. The reason is simple. These games were more 1497 01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 2: defensive in Boston. It felt like Dallas had a harder 1498 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:18,559 Speaker 2: time creating momentum in front of the visiting crowd. Kyrie 1499 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:22,040 Speaker 2: Irving played a little too much hero ball, which I 1500 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 2: do think stripped opportunities from Luca, and I bet you 1501 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,000 Speaker 2: he reverts to that form because, for whatever reason, in 1502 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,559 Speaker 2: front of that Boston fan base, he wants to make 1503 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,920 Speaker 2: the game about him instead of his team. So I'm 1504 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 2: taking the under on Luca thirty two and a half 1505 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,960 Speaker 2: and Jason Tatum twenty. Now it's up to twenty six 1506 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,280 Speaker 2: and a half, I'll take the under there. 1507 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,639 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking similar to you, Rich in a little 1508 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: bit of a different way. One of my favorite in 1509 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: game bets this series, and it's been consistent. I think 1510 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:53,799 Speaker 1: it's hit every single game of this series. Is Luca 1511 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 1: gets off to a hot start. Yes, scoring wise, he'll 1512 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:01,280 Speaker 1: score twelve thirteen points in the first quarter, that's tired, 1513 01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 1: and you can get an in game under and it 1514 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: is just consistently hit time and time again, when it 1515 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 1: was just last night where you know it was garbage 1516 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:15,160 Speaker 1: time even before the fourth quarter. Luca left with about 1517 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,719 Speaker 1: a minute and a half left in the third. 1518 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1519 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he didn't score very much at all in 1520 01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 1: the third quarter after going ballistic in the first half. 1521 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,760 Speaker 1: So it's something to keep in mind. If Luca gets 1522 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 1: off to a hot start and he consistently has you 1523 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,120 Speaker 1: can get an in game number on the. 1524 01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 3: Under point total like that angle, Brian, do you like 1525 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 3: it a lit on that? 1526 01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1527 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 2: I like that. 1528 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,760 Speaker 1: And also Derek White, who ripped my heart out a 1529 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 1: couple of games ago last leg of the parlay would 1530 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 1: have been a beautiful night if he didn't make his 1531 01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,800 Speaker 1: fourth three pointer, and he did with about two and 1532 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,639 Speaker 1: a half minutes to go. I still think it's good value. 1533 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 1: I think under three and a half Derrick White threes 1534 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 1: is a good bet to make. He's gotten to four 1535 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 1: twice in this series, so it's done it fifty percent 1536 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,599 Speaker 1: of the time. But I still think the under there's 1537 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,120 Speaker 1: some value there. I would look to that like him 1538 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 1: all right, plenty more to get to. We've got the 1539 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:14,240 Speaker 1: soap opera of the sports World. Another episode that's next. 1540 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,160 Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? I hope you're enjoying your 1541 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 1: Saturday morning? Did you guys like any soap operas from 1542 01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 1: back in the day?

My young sister was a 1547 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 2: huge General Hospital fan. Yeah, she's about two years older 1548 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,639 Speaker 2: than me. So a lot of times, like I would 1549 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,559 Speaker 2: I would be I would find myself like walking through 1550 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no, not this again, And by the 1551 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:47,800 Speaker 2: end of the episode, I'm like, wait, no, I. 1552 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 1: Thought he was dead, so you're just still alive. Reddit 1553 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 1: about General Hospital right now. 1554 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 8: Guys all a dream the whole time. 1555 01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:02,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1556 01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,639 Speaker 1: I bring this up because there is a soap opera 1557 01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: of the sports world and it is Caitlyn Clark. And 1558 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:15,120 Speaker 1: the crazy thing is she is not dramatic at all. 1559 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 1: It just feels like partially the media, partially other WNBA players, 1560 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,240 Speaker 1: they are the ones that are making this dramatic. So 1561 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,919 Speaker 1: the latest episode or installment of this ongoing soap opera 1562 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,879 Speaker 1: is Caitlin Clark on Thursday said that her name shouldn't 1563 01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 1: be used to push agendas of racism or misogyny, and 1564 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:42,760 Speaker 1: she said it's disappointing, it's unacceptable and everybody in our 1565 01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 1: world deserves the same amount of respect, and somehow she's 1566 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:50,439 Speaker 1: gotten blasted for that, where it's like, oh, it's really 1567 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,439 Speaker 1: easy to say I just want to play basketball instead 1568 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: of standing up for your team or standing up for 1569 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,040 Speaker 1: the league or bad bad bad bah. 1570 01:22:58,680 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. 1571 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,880 Speaker 1: Some people their minds are made up and they will 1572 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 1: invent ways to hate on Caitlin Clark yep. 1573 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:07,639 Speaker 2: And I don't know why. 1574 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what the gain is. I don't know 1575 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,720 Speaker 1: what the benefit is he hasn't said or done anything 1576 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,519 Speaker 1: that's crazy or that stirs everything up. It's she's gotten 1577 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:21,559 Speaker 1: a lot of attention because she was a dynamic college 1578 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:25,599 Speaker 1: basketball player and people want the same limelight. I don't 1579 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: know what it is. There's no upside to unnecessarily hate 1580 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 1: on the girl when she hasn't done anything or said 1581 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:33,639 Speaker 1: anything wrong. 1582 01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, do you know what this reminds me of 1583 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:41,360 Speaker 2: a little bit of when you see the twenty one 1584 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:47,519 Speaker 2: year old kid at the first family barbecue where all 1585 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 2: of a sudden you kind of you're watching him and 1586 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,840 Speaker 2: you're like, oh, he's about he's about one beer in 1587 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 2: too far. He's yeah, it's about that, you know, or her, 1588 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, like, you know, not to make 1589 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,519 Speaker 2: a gender specific like you know, oh man, you know 1590 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,639 Speaker 2: she's she's right at that point. One more cores light 1591 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:08,400 Speaker 2: and she's gonna be And so you keep an eye 1592 01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,680 Speaker 2: on these things because you realize, like, oh, it's it's 1593 01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,240 Speaker 2: their first time dealing with this. Like in the NFL, 1594 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 2: it shocks nobody that Caleb Williams is getting a lot 1595 01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 2: of attention, Like the Bears have really good players like 1596 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 2: Keenan Allen just got traded to the Bears. Keenan Allen 1597 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 2: ostensibly and objectively is a much better football player than 1598 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. But guess what, Caleb Williams, he needs to 1599 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,639 Speaker 2: support him in order for him to get the football, 1600 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 2: you know, over the course of the season. Obviously, wide 1601 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 2: receiver depends on his quarterback. And by the way, the 1602 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,600 Speaker 2: Bears overall as a team, whether we're talking about a 1603 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,960 Speaker 2: star edge rusher on their team or a star receiver, 1604 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,280 Speaker 2: they're all depending on Caleb Williams. So you're gonna hear 1605 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,839 Speaker 2: a lot of players out of that locker room supporting 1606 01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams. 1607 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:57,040 Speaker 6: Oh. 1608 01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:59,800 Speaker 2: By the way, the rest of the NFL knows, and 1609 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,080 Speaker 2: this is true of players on every other team that 1610 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. If the better he is, the better the 1611 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 2: product is, the stronger the league is. So yeah, maybe 1612 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 2: if you're a Green Bay fan or a Detroit fan, 1613 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 2: or you're a Vikings fan out in Minnesota, maybe you're 1614 01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,600 Speaker 2: not necessarily rooting for Caleb Williams. But the players in 1615 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 2: those locker rooms they quietly are. Because the better the 1616 01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 2: overall quotient of the league is, the more interest there 1617 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 2: is in the sport, the more everybody gets paid. The 1618 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,799 Speaker 2: more endorsement money there is being thrown around to everybody, 1619 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,800 Speaker 2: it's better for the sport. What this looks like to 1620 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 2: me is the WNBA is at twenty one year old 1621 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,439 Speaker 2: at the first family cookout since they turn twenty one, 1622 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 2: getting too drunk. The WNBA doesn't know what to do 1623 01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 2: with this, Like the NFL has been to this cookout before, 1624 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 2: They've seen what this is like, this isn't their first rodeo. 1625 01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:00,320 Speaker 2: They know how to handle Caleb Williams. The WNBA has 1626 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:05,600 Speaker 2: absolutely zero idea what to do from a management standpoint, 1627 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 2: league office standpoint, executive standpoint, public relations standpoint, teams across 1628 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,560 Speaker 2: the league standpoint, players in the locker room, players in 1629 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,800 Speaker 2: her own locker room. Her own teammates don't know what 1630 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 2: to do with this level of fame because it's their 1631 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 2: first time. They're they're mishandling it because they're in experience. 1632 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. 1633 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 3: I think to go back to your original question, like 1634 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:32,200 Speaker 3: why it's happening to Caitlin Clark, it's success, Like like 1635 01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:36,920 Speaker 3: we have this sick and twisted way of society kind 1636 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 3: of playing itself out these days where if you're on top, 1637 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:42,240 Speaker 3: we want you on the bottom. 1638 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:43,920 Speaker 1: If you're on the bottom, we want you to come 1639 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 1: back and get back to the top. 1640 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,280 Speaker 3: Like it's just it's just the way that our society 1641 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:52,880 Speaker 3: views sports in general and life like, if you're not 1642 01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 3: having success, we can relate to that. Most people struggle 1643 01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 3: in life. We can relate to the underdog mentality. It 1644 01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,879 Speaker 3: is hard for society to relate to the winning championship mentality. 1645 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,880 Speaker 3: Most people don't win. Most is most people have very mundane, 1646 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 3: boring lives and they hate it. They hate their life, 1647 01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:18,040 Speaker 3: they hate their situation. They're unsatisfied with work or life 1648 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 3: or girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever. It is normal to have that 1649 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 3: view of society. I'm struggling that person's winning. Why is 1650 01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,639 Speaker 3: she winning? And why am I not winning? Let's bring 1651 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,519 Speaker 3: her down to my level. And I'm not saying it's right. 1652 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's healthy. It's frankly toxic. But that 1653 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,280 Speaker 3: is the way our society views the world. When you're 1654 01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 3: on the bottom, we're rooting for the comeback. When you're 1655 01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 3: on the top, how can we bring you down? We 1656 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,759 Speaker 3: just saw it with showe Aotani. Like the show Aotani stuff, 1657 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 3: it's a different It's apples to oranges to the Caitlin 1658 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:54,639 Speaker 3: Clark situation. 1659 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 8: But we were ready to like indict the. 1660 01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 1: Guy for like a mass gambling scam. 1661 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:05,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he got ripped off by some phony maloney interpreter. 1662 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,519 Speaker 3: And like, sure, there's probably some people out there that 1663 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 3: still think there's a conspiracy theory that he was betting 1664 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 3: on all these games. 1665 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:13,360 Speaker 1: Whatever. I don't want to entertain that. 1666 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:17,679 Speaker 3: But my point being, there is just this way of thinking, 1667 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 3: if you are on top, how can I harnish you 1668 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 3: to bring you back down to my level? And there's 1669 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,080 Speaker 3: just a mass of that going on in our sports 1670 01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,160 Speaker 3: world right now with Kaitlyn Clark and the whole situation, 1671 01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:35,120 Speaker 3: the irony of all of this. The only person that 1672 01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:39,479 Speaker 3: has handled this with any class or grace is Caitlyn Clark, right, 1673 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,000 Speaker 3: which is the ultimate irony in all of this. So 1674 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 3: good on her and bad on society for just trying 1675 01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:46,679 Speaker 3: to bring this port go. That is, let her play basketball, 1676 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 3: that's really all she wants to do. 1677 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:53,800 Speaker 1: Clearly, Well, I love the name you brought up, rich In, 1678 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:57,639 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, because it would be the dumbest thing ever 1679 01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,639 Speaker 1: for anyone to say, Oh, Caleb Williams is just getting 1680 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 1: attention because he's black. It's like, No, there's more of 1681 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,120 Speaker 1: the equation than just that he was an outstanding college 1682 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:12,120 Speaker 1: football player. He's got a personality where it gains attention. 1683 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,439 Speaker 1: Right Like, he's done some things in college that have 1684 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 1: stood out. A lot of people bring up the crying thing, 1685 01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:23,599 Speaker 1: and right like, he's made headlines beyond just the color 1686 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,519 Speaker 1: of his skin. It's the same thing with Caitlyn Clark. 1687 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,720 Speaker 1: Is the only part of this like cause she's white. No, 1688 01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:35,760 Speaker 1: she passed Pistol beat Maravich for the most points ever 1689 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:42,000 Speaker 1: college basketball history. Like that, It's just so dumb to me. 1690 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:46,200 Speaker 1: Iowa was in the national Championship game the past two years. 1691 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 1: It's not as if she was just averaging ten points 1692 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,479 Speaker 1: a night and they made the Elite eight, and you're like, 1693 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,519 Speaker 1: why is she getting so much attention? She was a 1694 01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 1: phenomenal college basketball player and her team was in the 1695 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:03,400 Speaker 1: title game the last two years. Yeah, And you talk 1696 01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 1: about irony, Jared, and I'm with you on the example 1697 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,200 Speaker 1: you gave. I think some of the irony here is 1698 01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:12,439 Speaker 1: all these WNBA players that are like, why is she 1699 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,000 Speaker 1: getting so much attention? And it's like, because you won't 1700 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:20,599 Speaker 1: shut up about her. You're the problem, You're the reason 1701 01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:22,480 Speaker 1: why your name is so relevant. 1702 01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:28,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Listen, I think that the easy reach, the 1703 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:33,720 Speaker 2: low hanging fruit on any debate is bring it to 1704 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 2: base level differences, right, like, why is this not working? Well? 1705 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 2: Clearly because you know, uh, you know what. Okay, let's 1706 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:45,840 Speaker 2: let's put it in a different a different space altogether. 1707 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:50,720 Speaker 2: Let's take away WNBA and let's put this in corporate America. Right, 1708 01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 2: maybe there is a predominantly black business that has a 1709 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:59,800 Speaker 2: new superstar, white employee. Do we think that if this 1710 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:04,240 Speaker 2: was corporate America, the automatic assumption would be, oh, this 1711 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 2: isn't working because the new superstar is white. No. And 1712 01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,960 Speaker 2: by the way, flip it, you know, flip it around. 1713 01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,800 Speaker 2: You know, this isn't working because the new superstar and 1714 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:19,599 Speaker 2: playee is black. No. Like like sports for whatever reason, 1715 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 2: and I think it's because look, competitiveness. Uh, you know, 1716 01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 2: sports were created as a safer analog to war. 1717 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:31,040 Speaker 1: Like. 1718 01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 2: If you think a lot of the games that we play, 1719 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:38,880 Speaker 2: even board games like chess or Stratego or Checker's Risk 1720 01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 2: the world, I mean it's all it's they're all kind 1721 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 2: of predicated around war like. Even when you think about monopoly, 1722 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 2: which is more business related, like we're talking about the 1723 01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:52,479 Speaker 2: gobbling up of assets, crushing your opponent, opponents through. 1724 01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:56,479 Speaker 1: Siege warfare, basically like the the all these. 1725 01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:59,600 Speaker 2: Games are are kind of primitive and they kind of 1726 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 2: they kind of get us, they strip us down to 1727 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:07,320 Speaker 2: our roots. Okay, well, clearly there is some problem here, 1728 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,000 Speaker 2: so it must be race related or it must be 1729 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:13,880 Speaker 2: gender related. Nature is no, it absolutely isn't look at this. 1730 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,880 Speaker 2: I look at this very simply. I see the WNBA 1731 01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 2: having a hard time with this because this is the 1732 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 2: first time they're getting a lot of attention. Like, for example, 1733 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:28,160 Speaker 2: when you're a kid and you're practicing your public speaking 1734 01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 2: part and it's going to be three minutes talking in 1735 01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:34,120 Speaker 2: front of your peers and you can't understand why. In 1736 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:37,760 Speaker 2: your bedroom, when you're by yourself saying the speech over 1737 01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 2: and over again, you had clarity, the words were coming 1738 01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 2: out smoothly, you had some confidence, even a little bravado. 1739 01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:47,160 Speaker 2: And then when you get in front of your class 1740 01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 2: of twenty five peers, you're shaking and you can't remember 1741 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 2: the words. You can't even remember how it opens, Like 1742 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,519 Speaker 2: what was the first word? Just give it, Come on, brain, 1743 01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,720 Speaker 2: what's the first word? It's because you're inexperienced in front 1744 01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:02,680 Speaker 2: of a But fast forward to your hundredth time or 1745 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 2: your two hundred time or your thousandth time in front 1746 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,759 Speaker 2: of a crowd, You're obviously going to be much more comfortable. 1747 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,400 Speaker 2: This is very simple to me. The reason why Kaitlin 1748 01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:14,560 Speaker 2: Clark is being condemned for her fame is because the 1749 01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 2: WNBA has literally never had a player this famous before. 1750 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 2: It's never happened. I mean, and give me the list 1751 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:27,439 Speaker 2: of superstars, you know, Diana Tarassi and I mean, go 1752 01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 2: through the Bird Superird. Has anybody again, thank you, thank you. 1753 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,880 Speaker 8: Candice Parker has not on the level of Kaylyn Clark. 1754 01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:39,320 Speaker 2: No, no, And so this is unique, this is new. 1755 01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:43,680 Speaker 2: They're inexperienced. These players have zero experience dealing with the 1756 01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 2: level of tension they're getting, and they're floundering right now. 1757 01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:50,080 Speaker 2: They're they're in front of their class, they're trying to 1758 01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:53,320 Speaker 2: speak to the group, and they are shaking in their 1759 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,400 Speaker 2: boots and forgetting how this speech was supposed to open. 1760 01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:59,040 Speaker 2: That's what's happening. We're getting to watch it. So this 1761 01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 2: has nothing to do with race, or gender, or or 1762 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,479 Speaker 2: sexuality or any of the ridiculous things have been tossed around. 1763 01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,000 Speaker 2: This is a bunch of kids getting their first time 1764 01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,479 Speaker 2: speaking in front of their middle school class, and they 1765 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:16,080 Speaker 2: are literally shaking out of their timberlains right now. 1766 01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:19,800 Speaker 1: They're tims Okay, I like that, Well, that's what I 1767 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:20,639 Speaker 1: wore in middle school. 1768 01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 8: That's what I was gonna say that. I don't think 1769 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:24,160 Speaker 8: the kids are wearing that anymore. 1770 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:25,280 Speaker 1: You might get. 1771 01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:28,800 Speaker 8: We might have to get it with the times. 1772 01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 6: Bro. 1773 01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:30,800 Speaker 8: We went to high school in middle school a long 1774 01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 8: time ago. 1775 01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:34,240 Speaker 1: I think it all comes back. 1776 01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:34,640 Speaker 2: To this for me. 1777 01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 3: And obviously a lot of these conversations are very toxic 1778 01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:43,439 Speaker 3: about topics that probably sports should not really be breaching into. 1779 01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,639 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, Caitlin Clark's handling 1780 01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:50,160 Speaker 3: it like a pro I think this will all kind 1781 01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 3: of iron itself out. And again, at the end of 1782 01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:58,679 Speaker 3: the day, we are talking about the w NBA every 1783 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,679 Speaker 3: single day. It is the top story on my feed 1784 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:03,920 Speaker 3: that week, that the whole Caitlin Clark thing, which you 1785 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:06,280 Speaker 3: got bumped over by the one player like it was 1786 01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:08,960 Speaker 3: the lead on every major talk show. 1787 01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:14,600 Speaker 1: It was the story. And I think if we can learn. 1788 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 3: Some of the players, some of the WNBA administrator learn 1789 01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:23,000 Speaker 3: how to handle some of it and kind of grow 1790 01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:27,639 Speaker 3: up mature a lot of its maturity the net positive here, 1791 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:32,160 Speaker 3: guys and gals listening, we're talking about the WNBA and 1792 01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:34,599 Speaker 3: it's going to continue to be a talking point as 1793 01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 3: long as Kaitlin Clark is in the league. 1794 01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:39,920 Speaker 1: So we just kind of have to learn. We just 1795 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:41,439 Speaker 1: have to have it grow up a little bit. 1796 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:45,160 Speaker 3: Little Kumbai a moment where maybe this first season is 1797 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 3: a little rocky learning to live with all this spotlight. 1798 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:50,519 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, the spotlight is 1799 01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 3: still on the WNBA. Right, that's the net positive long 1800 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,120 Speaker 3: term in my eyes. We just have to kind of 1801 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:57,160 Speaker 3: grow up around it. 1802 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:02,519 Speaker 1: No, that makes sense and listen and is there a 1803 01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:06,879 Speaker 1: racial aspect to it, Yes, but it's not the total 1804 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:10,680 Speaker 1: thing going on here. Where Let's use a couple of examples. 1805 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:15,160 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. Like Tiger Woods stood out in a white sport, 1806 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:19,439 Speaker 1: it's not the sole reason he was popular. He was 1807 01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:24,800 Speaker 1: phenomenal at what he did. Larry Bird, Lars Larry Bird 1808 01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,720 Speaker 1: stood out in a black sport. He was a sensational 1809 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 1: basketball player. Right that did being different have a little 1810 01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:35,280 Speaker 1: something to do with their their popularity? Yeah, I think 1811 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,320 Speaker 1: it boosted it to a degree, but it wasn't the 1812 01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,760 Speaker 1: sole reason for the popularity yet, right, And I look 1813 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:44,840 Speaker 1: at Caitlin Clark similarly, you guys listed off a couple 1814 01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,880 Speaker 1: of names from the past in the present with Diana Tarassi, 1815 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 1: Sue Byrd, Rebecca Lobo, these all white players. They never 1816 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:56,479 Speaker 1: came halfway close to reaching the popularity and the status 1817 01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,760 Speaker 1: of Caitlin Clark right now. So it shows you that 1818 01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 1: it isn't just about the color of her skin. So 1819 01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't know why. It's like you're trying to do 1820 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 1: this diagram of why she's so popular, and it seems 1821 01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,559 Speaker 1: like the reasons that are pointed out tend to be negative. 1822 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 1: Oh it's her skin color. Oh it's because she's straight. 1823 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,679 Speaker 1: Why can't it be something positive where it's like she's 1824 01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:25,240 Speaker 1: really fun to watch. I don't know why that isn't Yeah, 1825 01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:28,360 Speaker 1: it's that's just glossed over and it goes to something negative. 1826 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:29,880 Speaker 1: I just I don't buy that. 1827 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,320 Speaker 2: I agree, I one hundred percent agree, And I think 1828 01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:38,479 Speaker 2: it's again, it doesn't it feel childish? Doesn't it feel 1829 01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:42,519 Speaker 2: very I don't know, immature, I guess is another word. 1830 01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:47,200 Speaker 2: Doesn't it feel like the WNBA the analysts who cover 1831 01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 2: the sport, the coaches who coach the sport, the players 1832 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:54,479 Speaker 2: who play the sport, they they all just don't really 1833 01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,000 Speaker 2: know what to do with her because they've never seen 1834 01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 2: this before. Look, I think we probably rommantasize how golf 1835 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,679 Speaker 2: handled Tiger Woods to a greater or lesser extent because 1836 01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:08,040 Speaker 2: it happened so long ago. But there was a huge 1837 01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:12,880 Speaker 2: racial component to Tiger Woods rising to glory on the 1838 01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 2: PGA Tour. There were a lot of stodgy golfers and 1839 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:20,960 Speaker 2: frankly country club owners or members, i should say, who 1840 01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 2: were not interested in seeing a black man have the 1841 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,920 Speaker 2: level of success that he was having in a sport 1842 01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:30,080 Speaker 2: that was predominantly white. And I think since then, a 1843 01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:33,959 Speaker 2: lot of those color barriers have broken down. We've obviously 1844 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:36,840 Speaker 2: seen changes, even at Augusta National, which felt like the 1845 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:41,920 Speaker 2: last standalone holdout for years and years, there by letting 1846 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:46,240 Speaker 2: in their first ever female member. I believe it was 1847 01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:49,000 Speaker 2: Condolleza Rice, you know, so they broke down two barriers 1848 01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:52,680 Speaker 2: with that. But you know, it's interesting, right there is 1849 01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 2: a racial aspect to it, and I do agree with 1850 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:58,160 Speaker 2: what you're saying, Brian, But I think the biggest the 1851 01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:02,280 Speaker 2: biggest problem here for the WNBA, or frankly for any 1852 01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:06,639 Speaker 2: sport who's going through the infancy of their attention getting phase. 1853 01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:09,639 Speaker 2: They don't know what to do with all this attention, 1854 01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:13,840 Speaker 2: and so the reaction seems very immature, and the reason 1855 01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 2: why is because they're inexperienced. That is literally what immaturity is. 1856 01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:20,559 Speaker 2: We talk about children. I have two kids who are 1857 01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,479 Speaker 2: under ten years old. When they do things, there's a 1858 01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 2: lot of times where I go, Okay, they should know 1859 01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,720 Speaker 2: better by now, But the majority of things they do. 1860 01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:32,400 Speaker 2: What it boils down to is they haven't lived that 1861 01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:34,880 Speaker 2: long yet. So I'm gonna give them a pass. I'm 1862 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:36,720 Speaker 2: gonna teach them, you know, I'm gonna tell them the 1863 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,000 Speaker 2: things that they need, you know, maybe how to handle 1864 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,439 Speaker 2: a situation better. But I'm gonna give them a little grace. 1865 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,799 Speaker 2: I am. I'm kind of flipping the way I'm viewing 1866 01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:48,240 Speaker 2: this situation with the WNBA. I almost feel bad for 1867 01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:51,120 Speaker 2: them in a way because it's like watching a child 1868 01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:54,560 Speaker 2: actor grow up in front of everybody and making mistakes. 1869 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 2: But there it's on a scale that you wish could 1870 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:02,400 Speaker 2: be smaller for them, because everybody else gets to make 1871 01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 2: those mistakes in the dark. The WNBA is gonna have 1872 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:07,320 Speaker 2: to grow up in front of all of our eyes. Yeah, 1873 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,599 Speaker 2: and it's gonna be clunky. It's gonna be clumsy. 1874 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,680 Speaker 3: It is, it is, but I think it's again the 1875 01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,599 Speaker 3: net positive, guys, is that we continue to talk about 1876 01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:17,800 Speaker 3: this league and get it in spotlight. Because the only 1877 01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,640 Speaker 3: way that you gain, like, the only way that you 1878 01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:23,120 Speaker 3: get stronger, is if you work out. Your first workout 1879 01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,599 Speaker 3: might be really tough, you might be brutal, you might 1880 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,599 Speaker 3: drop the weights all over the floor. Then you learn 1881 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,920 Speaker 3: how to kind of, you know, handle some of the 1882 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,759 Speaker 3: stresses and the soreness and getting stronger. 1883 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:36,720 Speaker 8: And this is a maturity thing. 1884 01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:39,559 Speaker 3: This is a league that is still pretty young relatively 1885 01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:42,080 Speaker 3: speaking to the other professional sports leagues out there, and 1886 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 3: it just it has to grow up. And Caitlin Clark 1887 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,920 Speaker 3: is the puberty that the WNBA never thought that they 1888 01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:48,679 Speaker 3: were gonna. 1889 01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:50,559 Speaker 1: Get, and now they have it. And it's a little awkward, 1890 01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:51,439 Speaker 1: but I. 1891 01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:52,880 Speaker 3: Think we're gonna get through it, and I think the 1892 01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:56,519 Speaker 3: net positive for the league in five ten years, we 1893 01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:58,240 Speaker 3: won't be worried about this issue at all. 1894 01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:02,680 Speaker 1: That's our guy. Jared's FSR betting analyst Rich Ornberger with 1895 01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,760 Speaker 1: US Penn State All American. I'm Brian no Coming up next. 1896 01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:10,759 Speaker 1: Garth from the movie Wayne's World once said, we fear change. 1897 01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:14,479 Speaker 1: You might feel the same way after this next story 1898 01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:16,479 Speaker 1: that's on the way. It's Fox Sports Saturday, right here 1899 01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:20,400 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox Sports Saturday, right 1900 01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:24,000 Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. Real fast. I just saw 1901 01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:27,600 Speaker 1: a quote from Serena Williams. She has some advice for 1902 01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:28,519 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. 1903 01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 2: This is great. 1904 01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:33,160 Speaker 1: She said, if people are negative, it's because they can't. 1905 01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:34,200 Speaker 2: Do what you do. 1906 01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:38,559 Speaker 1: Yep, I think she'll do right. Yes, Yeah, a lot 1907 01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:40,639 Speaker 1: of it has to do with that. Okay, how about 1908 01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:44,479 Speaker 1: this like Garth and Wayne's World? Do you guys Wayne's 1909 01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,639 Speaker 1: World fans from Bath in the Day, Yeah, Garth, party 1910 01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:49,559 Speaker 1: on Wayne. That's a party on Garth. 1911 01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:49,800 Speaker 9: Garth. 1912 01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:54,479 Speaker 1: Garth Wentz said, we fear change. And I just thought 1913 01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,880 Speaker 1: of that with this next story. So the Big Twelve, 1914 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:04,840 Speaker 1: they are explored selling the naming rights to a title sponsor, 1915 01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:09,559 Speaker 1: and it's believed that All State is considered the front runner. 1916 01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 1: So instead of the Big Twelve, we might have the 1917 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:18,120 Speaker 1: All State twelve conference. Oh boy, is what we're looking for. 1918 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,400 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, group of five schools. Like 1919 01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:28,000 Speaker 1: those leagues, they're thinking about similar things. So the Sunbelt, 1920 01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:33,599 Speaker 1: the Mountain West. You might have title sponsors for most 1921 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:35,439 Speaker 1: of these leagues going forward. 1922 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,479 Speaker 2: Yeah wahene, this makes me feel funny, like when I 1923 01:42:39,880 --> 01:42:43,720 Speaker 2: climb the rope in gym class. Yeah. No, it's uh, 1924 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,160 Speaker 2: it's uh. It's where we're heading with all of this. 1925 01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you guys probably don't remember the movie. I 1926 01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,200 Speaker 2: loved it. I was a huge South Park fan when 1927 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,000 Speaker 2: I was growing up, and there was a movie called Basketball. 1928 01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,720 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Okay, I'm so glad that you have 1929 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:02,760 Speaker 2: so loved that for anybody who's never seen it. Basically, 1930 01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:07,280 Speaker 2: it's a driveway sport that Trey Parker and Matt Stone 1931 01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:11,000 Speaker 2: create as almost like a drinking game that turns into 1932 01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 2: a national spectacle. And they are obviously poking fun at 1933 01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:22,719 Speaker 2: major league sports, professional sports in our country, where everything 1934 01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:26,679 Speaker 2: at a certain point becomes corporate. The players become completely 1935 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 2: unlikable because they're making so much money, and they have 1936 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 2: completely detached themselves from these driveway knuckleheads who are drinking 1937 01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 2: beers playing the sport when they were just in the 1938 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 2: suburbs of Middle America versus what they've become now, these 1939 01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:46,639 Speaker 2: national celebrities. And what they started doing is they started 1940 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,960 Speaker 2: taking things to the extreme in the movies like this 1941 01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:54,600 Speaker 2: is before arenas and ballparks were named after corporate sponsors, 1942 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 2: but they started They did that in this movie. And 1943 01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 2: it was almost like the tail wagging the dog where 1944 01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:03,360 Speaker 2: it happened in this movie as a joke. It was 1945 01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:07,960 Speaker 2: a punchline, but it was almost like a warning, like 1946 01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 2: a Bell Weather or a Canarian the coal Mine saying, hey, 1947 01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,240 Speaker 2: like listen, we're getting used to this certain amount of 1948 01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:17,240 Speaker 2: greed that this isn't so ridiculous that pretty soon it 1949 01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:21,040 Speaker 2: might be State Farm Arena. And guess what now it is. 1950 01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:25,080 Speaker 2: And so when you go back and you watch basketball 1951 01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,120 Speaker 2: now you think to yourself like, oh yeah, like this 1952 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:32,800 Speaker 2: this is a comedy, but it actually was a forecast 1953 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:35,920 Speaker 2: of what was to come. None of this shocks me. 1954 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,720 Speaker 2: None of this shocks me. The fact that conferences are 1955 01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 2: gonna be called the Taco Bell Conference or you know, 1956 01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,479 Speaker 2: instead of the you know, the the Mid American, it's 1957 01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:49,559 Speaker 2: gonna be the the the Golden Arches, and it's gonna 1958 01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:53,439 Speaker 2: be hey, you come through the driver through. You know, 1959 01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 2: we know it's the off season, but the Shamrock Shake 1960 01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,840 Speaker 2: is available right now. It all participations. You know, it's 1961 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:01,960 Speaker 2: it's gonna be what it is, and it's only gonna 1962 01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:04,600 Speaker 2: get worse, fellas, I promise you at a at a 1963 01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:08,400 Speaker 2: certain point in our lifetime, just like they do in Japan, 1964 01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:13,280 Speaker 2: just like they So you know, the Fighters, the Fighters, 1965 01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:16,200 Speaker 2: that's the team that I believe it was Shoheo Tani 1966 01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,160 Speaker 2: came from, right. The Fighters they're they're not the Fighters 1967 01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:23,920 Speaker 2: in Japan. They're called the nipon Ham Fighters. Nipon Ham 1968 01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:28,439 Speaker 2: is a brand like pretty soon here, it's gonna be 1969 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:32,640 Speaker 2: the Golden Arches, Golden State Warriors, it's gonna be the 1970 01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,439 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's gonna be the Mercedes Minnesota Vikings. It's 1971 01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:41,240 Speaker 2: gonna be That is our future. It's coming soon. And 1972 01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:43,519 Speaker 2: then it's gonna spread to the college ranks as well, 1973 01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:46,840 Speaker 2: and maybe it'll incubate at the college. Right, maybe it'll 1974 01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:51,720 Speaker 2: be the the Panasonic Penn State Nitney Lyons. I'm just saying, 1975 01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,639 Speaker 2: this is the this is the future we're heading towards. 1976 01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 2: Because any extra money you can ring out of the sponge. 1977 01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:03,120 Speaker 2: If it feels like these professional and quote unquote amateur, 1978 01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 2: although it's not pro sports. All these all these all 1979 01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:09,040 Speaker 2: these sports they're heading more and more corporate. 1980 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:13,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate how right you are about it, because 1981 01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:17,600 Speaker 3: you're right, like it might end up being like the 1982 01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,880 Speaker 3: sheets Nitney Lions sheets get a schmiss get it sheets 1983 01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:23,960 Speaker 3: for the Nitney. 1984 01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:27,439 Speaker 1: Like, Well, here's what i have to say. 1985 01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,240 Speaker 3: About the conference situation. And I've said this on this show. 1986 01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:33,439 Speaker 3: I've been very vocal about it on other shows. But 1987 01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,559 Speaker 3: because this is a college football based show, and that's 1988 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:38,000 Speaker 3: where we got our start, and then we've kind of 1989 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,160 Speaker 3: branched out in other things obviously, but you know, when 1990 01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,320 Speaker 3: we first started, it was really college football focused. And 1991 01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:44,080 Speaker 3: I remember the first year we did the show, I 1992 01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:48,879 Speaker 3: gave this stay. The conferences in college sports are completely irrelevant. 1993 01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:55,479 Speaker 3: They are placeholders, They are figureheads. They are monarchy in 1994 01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:59,920 Speaker 3: college sports. They have no power, they have no responsibility. 1995 01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:04,160 Speaker 3: They just exist and we divide the lines based off 1996 01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,719 Speaker 3: of regional and you know, it's not really regional anymore. 1997 01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:07,120 Speaker 2: It used to be. 1998 01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:12,559 Speaker 3: Now it's you know, it's a complete kerfuffle. Conferences don't 1999 01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:14,960 Speaker 3: need to exist. We could have college sports without conferences 2000 01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:18,599 Speaker 3: very easily. But they do exist because of the tradition 2001 01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:22,360 Speaker 3: and nostalgia that's gone on with them. This is kind 2002 01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:27,040 Speaker 3: of the first domino of them really not existing anymore, 2003 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:32,880 Speaker 3: like just being these groups of private equity investors that 2004 01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:37,560 Speaker 3: divide the lines and the money accordingly. And this is 2005 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:41,960 Speaker 3: the not the first domino in business change in college sports. Like, 2006 01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,200 Speaker 3: we've had a few of these dominoes over the last 2007 01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:46,479 Speaker 3: decade or so, and we will continue to have them 2008 01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:50,120 Speaker 3: as this college sports landscape continues to evolve and change. 2009 01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:53,200 Speaker 1: But the conferences are completely meaningless, Guys, like, they're just. 2010 01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:56,240 Speaker 3: Like who cares? Like the only reason we care now 2011 01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,200 Speaker 3: is because it helps us set the schedule every year. 2012 01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:01,400 Speaker 3: But like, you could take the forty teams in college 2013 01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:05,200 Speaker 3: football completely eliminate all the conferences and put together a 2014 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,800 Speaker 3: great schedule with a great postseason. 2015 01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:09,720 Speaker 8: And nobody would know the difference. The only people who 2016 01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:10,599 Speaker 8: would know are the people. 2017 01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:11,760 Speaker 1: That really love the conferences. 2018 01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:14,080 Speaker 3: And we have to have Michigan play Ohio State every 2019 01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:15,799 Speaker 3: year because it's a Big Ten rivalry. 2020 01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:17,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, the Big Ten didn't exist thirty years ago. 2021 01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,479 Speaker 1: Guys like it. I think there's just like a. 2022 01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:26,519 Speaker 3: Whole conference realignment and frankly just dissolved them like, that's 2023 01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,720 Speaker 3: what I would do, and then let all the new 2024 01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,600 Speaker 3: private equity come in and pick their teams accordingly and 2025 01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,640 Speaker 3: change it. But obviously it's a slow process to get there, 2026 01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:37,200 Speaker 3: but this feels like the first step. In hey, ten years, 2027 01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:38,720 Speaker 3: conference is completely gone. 2028 01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:43,679 Speaker 1: Well, I just think it reminds me of NASCAR. Remember Nascar, 2029 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 1: the title sponsor would change. It was the Winston Cup 2030 01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,960 Speaker 1: Series for a little while, and then it was next 2031 01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:54,200 Speaker 1: Tell and it's changed from time to time, and it's 2032 01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:58,240 Speaker 1: a little goofy. But I think it's far goofier for 2033 01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,320 Speaker 1: conferences to change names because if you go down this 2034 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,880 Speaker 1: road of title sponsors, they're going to change, just like 2035 01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:07,240 Speaker 1: football stadium names. 2036 01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:07,599 Speaker 2: Yep. 2037 01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:10,679 Speaker 1: So if you get used to the All State twelve, 2038 01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:14,200 Speaker 1: which used to be the Big twelve, and then it 2039 01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:16,920 Speaker 1: changes to the Burger King twelve, it's like what are 2040 01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:18,000 Speaker 1: we doing here? 2041 01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:18,400 Speaker 2: Right? 2042 01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:21,599 Speaker 1: Like, that's when it's going to become really goofy. Someone 2043 01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:26,000 Speaker 1: who is not goofy in a bad way, but every 2044 01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 1: now and then goofy in a good way. That would 2045 01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:32,360 Speaker 1: be our guy, Isaac Lohencron, who brings the entertainment along 2046 01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:33,200 Speaker 1: with the information. 2047 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:39,120 Speaker 4: Really, because you guys are my muses. So this relates 2048 01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,519 Speaker 4: to what you were just discussing, and that was the 2049 01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:45,920 Speaker 4: corporatization of sports. So we will start with Game four 2050 01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:50,920 Speaker 4: of the NBA Finals, presented by YouTube TV on Friday night. Ah, 2051 01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:56,720 Speaker 4: that saw the Dallas Maverick Farm and Fence Supply Mavericks 2052 01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,760 Speaker 4: stay alive with a thirty eight point victory over the 2053 01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:07,639 Speaker 4: Boston sand In Gravel Celtics one twenty two to eighty four. 2054 01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:09,760 Speaker 4: Both of those are real companies, by the way, it 2055 01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:13,799 Speaker 4: was the little free publicity. It was the third largest 2056 01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,360 Speaker 4: blowout in Finals history, breaking Boston's ten game winning streak 2057 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:19,840 Speaker 4: in the playoffs, with the Celtics still lead the series 2058 01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:24,000 Speaker 4: three games to one. Game five on Monday at Boston 2059 01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:31,880 Speaker 4: at the TD Fleet Center Shauma Center. All right, it's 2060 01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:34,400 Speaker 4: still the TV Garden you were going. 2061 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,040 Speaker 1: You were doing so well there, I know. 2062 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,639 Speaker 4: No, I mean, I mean that's the other thing. It's 2063 01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:40,400 Speaker 4: about these arenas. It's one thing for them to have 2064 01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:45,080 Speaker 4: corporate names, but then you they changed them every three years. Yeah, 2065 01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:49,320 Speaker 4: Like the Miami Arena had a new name this year, 2066 01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:52,400 Speaker 4: and it's always a company you've never ever heard of. 2067 01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:56,720 Speaker 4: But I digress elsewhere. After Game four, big news made 2068 01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:59,960 Speaker 4: off the court by none other than Charles Barclay. 2069 01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:01,880 Speaker 10: You know, there's been a lot of noise around on 2070 01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:05,120 Speaker 10: network the last few months, and I just want to 2071 01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:07,680 Speaker 10: say I've talked to all the other networks, but I 2072 01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:12,400 Speaker 10: ain't going nowhere other than TNT. But I have made 2073 01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:16,600 Speaker 10: the decision myself, no matter what happens, next year is 2074 01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:18,560 Speaker 10: going to be my last year on television. 2075 01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:23,000 Speaker 4: After two rounds of the US opened, Sweden's Ludwig Obert 2076 01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:26,080 Speaker 4: has the leaded five hunder par overall, one shot ahead 2077 01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:30,280 Speaker 4: of Bryson Deshambo, Patrick Cantley and Belgium's Thomas Dietree.

Staples 2105 01:52:57,160 --> 01:52:59,840 Speaker 1: stall it. 2106 01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:05,160 Speaker 3: Well, when do the big traditional stadiums change? Like when 2107 01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,519 Speaker 3: do we get Yankee Stadium's right, when do we get 2108 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:09,799 Speaker 3: Fenway Park? 2109 01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:10,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 2110 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,880 Speaker 3: I guess technically Wriggly Field is wriggly Gum, but right 2111 01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,040 Speaker 3: like Wriggly Field presented by Big Red, Like you know, 2112 01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:20,400 Speaker 3: like when do we get those dominoes to fall? 2113 01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,679 Speaker 1: That's what I experienced. Full change you got in Denver 2114 01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:27,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, yeah, right, like mile high or Invesco 2115 01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:29,200 Speaker 1: Field at mile high or what it does? 2116 01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:32,000 Speaker 2: So weird? Well, what's so funny is even Wrigley Field 2117 01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:34,640 Speaker 2: You named it, and it's like you forget part of 2118 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:36,680 Speaker 2: the reason why it's called Wrigley Field is because of 2119 01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:38,439 Speaker 2: the gum com Yeah. 2120 01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:41,720 Speaker 1: That gum is still going undred years later. 2121 01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:44,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Camden Yards though, I mean, like their cover 2122 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:45,360 Speaker 2: is one. 2123 01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:47,519 Speaker 1: That doesn't have a corporate there you go, by the way, 2124 01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:51,040 Speaker 1: a funny story to throw out there. You see the 2125 01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:54,320 Speaker 1: Chief's new Super Bowl rings. They got the seed wrong 2126 01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:59,360 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. Yes, so so beautiful rings. Five hundred 2127 01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:04,479 Speaker 1: and twenty nine diamonds, thirty eight rubies zero spell check, Yeah, 2128 01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:09,240 Speaker 1: total of fourteen point eight carrots. They got the seed 2129 01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:13,920 Speaker 1: wrong of the Dolphins. So on the ring on the inside, 2130 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:16,360 Speaker 1: like right where it goes in your finger, you see, 2131 01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:19,559 Speaker 1: And this is common right. They have the playoff path 2132 01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:22,839 Speaker 1: of the teams, and the scores of the playoff games, 2133 01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:26,879 Speaker 1: and the seeds of the playoff teams. Their first playoff 2134 01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:30,200 Speaker 1: game was against the Dolphins. On the rings, it says 2135 01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:31,559 Speaker 1: they're the seventh seed. 2136 01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:32,440 Speaker 2: That's wrong. 2137 01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:34,760 Speaker 1: They were the sixth seed. They thought they were the 2138 01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,560 Speaker 1: one seed. The chiefs were over over, you know, overestimating 2139 01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:42,120 Speaker 1: what their seed was. Yeah, so it's not something you 2140 01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:43,480 Speaker 1: can fix and post right there. 2141 01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:47,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna need a lot of sandpaper, a lot 2142 01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:50,000 Speaker 2: of sand paper, a lot of boat toorks for that one. 2143 01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:50,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. 2144 01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:53,920 Speaker 1: I just love the videos that they put out now, 2145 01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,320 Speaker 1: and they're really cool where they show like the top 2146 01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,080 Speaker 1: of the ring opens up and it takes you on 2147 01:54:59,200 --> 01:54:59,880 Speaker 1: this sort of like. 2148 01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:04,360 Speaker 8: I don't know this content these days all for clicks. 2149 01:55:04,800 --> 01:55:08,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what do you call it? Where I'm having 2150 01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:12,000 Speaker 1: a brain freeze right now? They know they've yeah kind 2151 01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:15,560 Speaker 1: of they've stopped football getting drones like these drones, so 2152 01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:18,480 Speaker 1: it gives you like a drone kind of view through 2153 01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:22,320 Speaker 1: the ring and it's like, wow, that's really cool, all 2154 01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:26,120 Speaker 1: this detail and thought they got the sea, they got 2155 01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:28,640 Speaker 1: the sea. I wish I could have been in the 2156 01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,320 Speaker 1: room when they were designing it. 2157 01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:32,280 Speaker 2: Oh, I wish I could have been in the room 2158 01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:36,960 Speaker 2: where the first person said, hey, weren't the weren't the 2159 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:38,040 Speaker 2: Dolphins of six? 2160 01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:41,920 Speaker 3: And then and then figured it out you think it 2161 01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:43,440 Speaker 3: was one of the players, Like, wait a minute, I 2162 01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:43,920 Speaker 3: bet it. 2163 01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:46,480 Speaker 2: Was one of the coaches. I bet either that or 2164 01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:48,680 Speaker 2: it might have even been like this is what I 2165 01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:52,080 Speaker 2: presume happened. This is honestly what I think happened. Probably 2166 01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:57,080 Speaker 2: one of the assistant coaches with Miami knows one of 2167 01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:01,040 Speaker 2: the Chiefs assistant coaches and was like, hey, idiots, we 2168 01:56:01,120 --> 01:56:04,040 Speaker 2: weren't a seven seed. We were a six seed going 2169 01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:08,400 Speaker 2: into the postseason. And then and then that Chiefs coach went, no, wait, 2170 01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:10,840 Speaker 2: what are you? And then he looked it up and went, 2171 01:56:11,200 --> 01:56:14,360 Speaker 2: I'll be damned, I gotta go tell somebody that's awesome. 2172 01:56:14,720 --> 01:56:17,720 Speaker 1: Good event. All right, We've got Rich Ronberger Fence State 2173 01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:21,560 Speaker 1: All American, Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst.

Fill in hosts today, Mike Harmon, Ryan Hollins. 2181 01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:50,760 Speaker 1: They are warming up in the bullpen as we speak. 2182 01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:54,160 Speaker 1: By the way, before our picks, some news this morning. 2183 01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:58,720 Speaker 1: T Higgins, Bengals wide receiver. He assigned his franchise tender, 2184 01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:02,320 Speaker 1: so he'll be in Cincinnati this year. Adam Schefter says 2185 01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:05,680 Speaker 1: it's unlikely he'll sign a long term deal this offseason. 2186 01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,320 Speaker 1: But it looks like the band is back together again 2187 01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:12,640 Speaker 1: for one more go with Jamar Chase, T Higgins, Joe Burrow. 2188 01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:16,280 Speaker 1: So good news for the Bengals as t Higgins is signed, 2189 01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:18,960 Speaker 1: sealed and delivered. We got some picks to make. 2190 01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:19,560 Speaker 2: Let's do it. 2191 01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:27,040 Speaker 1: Rapid fire, all right, Jared Smith, we start with you. 2192 01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:28,040 Speaker 1: What's on your radar? 2193 01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:30,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, one and two last week not great, but twenty 2194 01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:32,840 Speaker 3: eight and twenty since the Super Bowl, so not gonna 2195 01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:33,400 Speaker 3: complain about that. 2196 01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:35,040 Speaker 1: I think you guys actually had a really good week. 2197 01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:37,240 Speaker 8: So I think a collective show winning week. 2198 01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:40,280 Speaker 3: But let's get back on the winning track individually here, 2199 01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:42,640 Speaker 3: and we'll start with the Nerfey. I kind of hinted 2200 01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:44,760 Speaker 3: at it during the parlay segment. It's kind of an 2201 01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:47,920 Speaker 3: extension of the parlay platter. We're gonna go with the 2202 01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:50,640 Speaker 3: nerfy in the Rangers Mariners game. This is later this 2203 01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:53,640 Speaker 3: afternoon in Seattle, Nathan Valde George Kirby. Great pitching matchup. 2204 01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:56,480 Speaker 3: Kirby is twenty three and one to the nerfy at 2205 01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:59,280 Speaker 3: home in his career. The dude just rakes or I 2206 01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:02,360 Speaker 3: guess the opposite of rakes, he throws gas at home. 2207 01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:04,200 Speaker 1: So we'll go Rangers, manners, nerd feet. 2208 01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:06,400 Speaker 3: How about some puck. We haven't talked about the Stanley 2209 01:58:06,440 --> 01:58:07,760 Speaker 3: Cup Final. It might end tonight. 2210 01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it will. I think the Oilers get 2211 01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:10,280 Speaker 1: one at home. 2212 01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:12,840 Speaker 3: It feels like a gentleman sweep kind of series, similar 2213 01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:13,600 Speaker 3: to what we're seeing. 2214 01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:13,920 Speaker 6: In the NBA. 2215 01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:17,360 Speaker 3: And again, everyone likes Florida. They went on the road, 2216 01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:19,160 Speaker 3: they won in Edmonton in Game three. Kind of a 2217 01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,840 Speaker 3: similar situation of what happened in the NBA finals. So 2218 01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:24,400 Speaker 3: the Oilers, I think a little value on Edmonton. 2219 01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:24,680 Speaker 1: At home tonight. 2220 01:58:24,760 --> 01:58:26,520 Speaker 3: Short price on the money line, and I'll lay it 2221 01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:27,920 Speaker 3: with the Celtics on Monday night. 2222 01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:29,560 Speaker 1: Guys, six and a half. I think this number is 2223 01:58:29,560 --> 01:58:30,400 Speaker 1: gonna close seven. 2224 01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:32,800 Speaker 3: So I feel like if you bet Boston minus six 2225 01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:34,280 Speaker 3: and a half now you get a little bit of 2226 01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:35,080 Speaker 3: closing line. 2227 01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:37,400 Speaker 8: Value come Monday night. But I think the Celtics close. 2228 01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:38,480 Speaker 1: It out in five. 2229 01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,600 Speaker 2: Okay, very good. Actually, where you left off is where 2230 01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:44,960 Speaker 2: I start. I'm gonna go under the two one hundred 2231 01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:48,440 Speaker 2: nine and a half points in Game five MAVs at Boston. 2232 01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:52,440 Speaker 2: The under hit twice when this series was in Boston. 2233 01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:56,280 Speaker 2: I think lightning strikes a third time. First quarter spread 2234 01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:58,480 Speaker 2: minus two and a half on the Celtics. 2235 01:58:58,520 --> 01:58:59,000 Speaker 1: I like it. 2236 01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:01,400 Speaker 2: I think they rush to a hot start. I think 2237 01:59:01,480 --> 01:59:04,360 Speaker 2: the Mavericks answer. Like many of the games we've seen 2238 01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,440 Speaker 2: in this series, I think the Mavericks will wake up 2239 01:59:07,680 --> 01:59:10,880 Speaker 2: and make it a closer game, and then separation will 2240 01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:14,640 Speaker 2: occur again. The Celtics will overtake them and hoist Hilario O'Brien. 2241 01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:17,520 Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, though, is gonna have a slow night scoring, 2242 01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:21,640 Speaker 2: and that's very similar to how his series has gone. 2243 01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:24,880 Speaker 2: It's been a little bit more of sharing offense on 2244 01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,600 Speaker 2: the Celtics side. So I'm taking the under twenty seven 2245 01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:29,760 Speaker 2: and a half point scored by Tatum. 2246 01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:35,080 Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm going the plus one oh five route today. Okay, 2247 01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:38,760 Speaker 1: couple of picks for you. I've got the Detroit Tigers 2248 01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,600 Speaker 1: on the road money line plus one oh five. They're 2249 01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,400 Speaker 1: taking on the Houston Astros. Sy stinky line to me. 2250 01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:49,360 Speaker 1: Justin Verlander on the bump for the Astros. Lot of bets, 2251 01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,680 Speaker 1: a lot of tickets on the Astros to win. Yet 2252 01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:56,280 Speaker 1: the wise guys, huh, the money line is still pretty 2253 01:59:56,320 --> 01:59:58,200 Speaker 1: close to a pick them right, there's I'm gonna take 2254 01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:01,280 Speaker 1: the Tigers. Also match up. I like this on the 2255 02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:05,480 Speaker 1: road Texas Rangers plus one oh five yet again, Nathan Yavaldi. 2256 02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:09,400 Speaker 1: He's on the bump for the Rangers. The Mariners they 2257 02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:13,240 Speaker 1: strike out the most of any team in Major League Baseball, 2258 02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:16,600 Speaker 1: and Evaldi is one. He's a pretty good strikeout pitcher 2259 02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,640 Speaker 1: as well. So I am going with the Texas Rangers 2260 02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:22,000 Speaker 1: plus one oh five. And let's stick with the plus 2261 02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:25,880 Speaker 1: money theme, shall we. PJ Washington, I'm gonna fade his 2262 02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:29,600 Speaker 1: three pointers on Monday Night in Game five. I've got 2263 02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:34,360 Speaker 1: under one and a half threes for PJ. Washington against 2264 02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:37,280 Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics to do a great job defending the 2265 02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:40,480 Speaker 1: three point shot on the road do or die situation, 2266 02:00:41,080 --> 02:00:47,160 Speaker 1: sweaty palms, I say for PJ Washington, I'm gonna fade right, yeah, first, 2267 02:00:48,960 --> 02:00:53,080 Speaker 1: thank you, PJ. Yes, or like Derek White, we're he 2268 02:00:53,320 --> 02:00:57,080 Speaker 1: banked in three in Game three, and that helped him 2269 02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:59,320 Speaker 1: barely get over three and a half. So we can 2270 02:00:59,400 --> 02:01:02,800 Speaker 1: do a whole three hours on bad beats? Probably, absolutely 2271 02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:06,520 Speaker 1: we could. Hopefully that's not next week's show, right, everybody, 2272 02:01:06,600 --> 02:01:08,320 Speaker 1: have a great day. We will catch you soon
