21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: you really think he was gonna go to Ohio State? Yeah?

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: I didn't think so, Oregon, I wanna think so. But

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: Aaron's gonna have it for us. Top of the Hour,

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Midnight Magic, Medina Magic. So much to talk

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: about in the NBA as we have that same situation

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: every week and again probably got about five, six, seven

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: hours worth of material tonight. We're gonna try to get

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: it all done in four You know why, because sports

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: are entertainment and they're a shared experience. You want to

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: talk about it, You've come to the right place. Welcome

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Fraule Show. We'll take you all the

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: way up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern, and

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: as they say in Paul Allen, Minnesota, it's gonna be lit. Well,

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: let's give the Lakers their flowers. I never mind admitting

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: when I'm wrong. I'm not wrong yet. I don't think

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna win a championship. I STI don't think they're

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: getting to the NBA Finals. But for what they're doing

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: right now, they've got my respect. I like the way

39
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: they're winning, not just that they're winning. And basketball is

40
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: a team sport, and the Lakers play a team version

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: of it. You got to give them a lot of credit.

42
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: There's not a hell of a lot much more to

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: talk about than that. I think you'll hear from Golden

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: State Monday night. I believe in the NBA. I certainly

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: believe in the in the Zigzag, and you're gonna hear

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: from Golden State. This thing may be on its way

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: to seven games. We'll see, we'll see. And if you

48
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: were here in Vegas, you saw the Edmonton Oilers run

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: over the Golden Knights tonight. They beat the Golden Knights

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: five to one. The NHL playoffs are hot. Next Friday,

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: we'll have gambling low on. These NFL playoffs are really good.

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: If you're not watching them, you're missing out. You're missing

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: on on a real treat. And what's interesting is Edmonton

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: put up five goals together goals today. Their power play

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: is unstoppable. But what really impressed me was their defense

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: and the way they're coached. And when you've got Connor

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: McDavid killing power plays, there's something this guy coaches like

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: Glenn say, those great Gretzky teams. Anyway, hold that we'll

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: get to it later and we will become over the

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: next few weeks as well, But I want to start

61
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: tonight with a huge event that took place. If you

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: could have seen what it looked like here in Las

63
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: Vegas at the South Point, the South Point Casino, it's

64
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: just absolute pandemonium. All to wall. People look like Grand

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Central Station, just having the time of their lives. Probably

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty million dollars was bet on the

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty ninth run for the Roses. One

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five thousand people in attendants in Churchill Downs.

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: And what I like to do on this show as

70
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: much as humanly possible is contextualize what takes place. Try

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: to bring some texture and perspective to what is it

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: you're watching? Why is it significant? Why do we care?

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: And as you heard me mentioned to Aaron and Jason,

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: hear their show every Saturday night, seven Pacific to eleven.

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: They do a great job. We don't have a royalty

76
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: in this country. Our athletes and our entertainers they are

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: our royalty. So while the coronations going on in Britain,

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: our coronation is today's hockey games and NBA games. In

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: USFL games, the major League Baseball games, and of course

80
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby, because the Kentucky Derby is much more

81
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: than a horse race. It's a cultural icon. It's a

82
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: celebration of just about everything we like in America, getting

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: dressed up, partying, drinking mint julibs, eating until you're within

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: a half inch of your life, and then attending a

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: sports event and then betting on it the Kentucky Derby.

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 2: Did you know that the Kentucky Derby is the longest

87
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: running American sporting event since nineteen seventy eight, checked at

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: eighteen seventy five. It's been held every year is eighteen

89
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: seventy five. It's a fixture on the sporting calendar. And

90
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: you know why. It's a pillar of horse racing. It's

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: a pillar of American What makes it so popular It's

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: an experience. Man. Now, I've never been one of the

93
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: toughest tickets, never been. It gives people thrills. I've been

94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: told people that you attend the Kentucky Derby, it's an

95
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: unforgettable experience. You're transported to the world of Southern charm.

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: Horse racing is very exciting. The incidant you step on

97
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: the Churchill Hill Churchill Downs grounds. You know you're somewhere special,

98
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: and the Kentucky Derby provides something for everybody, whether you're

99
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: a seasoned horse racing lever, whether you just want to

100
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: enjoy festivities. How about the fashion. One of the most obvious,

101
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: noticeable and memorable aspects of the Kentucky Derby is the fashion.

102
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a runway show of southern flare. Okay,

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: you got these hats, bright costumes. The young ladies and

104
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: ladies of all ages put on their best hat. They

105
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: strap through stuff. Because what the Kentucky Derby does is

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: provide that vehicle to show off the fashion sense that

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: people want to have. There was a time everybody dressed

108
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: up in this country. Look at old films, people getting

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: onto planes and coats and ties, attending ballgame and coats

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: and ties. This is kind of a throwback to that,

111
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 2: a simpler time, simple pleasure. One of the other major

112
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: attractions of the Kentucky Derby is, of course, the food

113
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: and beverage. Kentucky Derby is a feast for the senses.

114
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: Let's face it, everything from minjulips to all the Southern

115
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: cuisine you love, you do not go hungry at the

116
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby, and you can have a quick snack, you

117
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: can have a big, fancy meal, and then of course

118
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: there's a horse racing. Now. We talked about this race

119
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: a lot last night. I really liked Two Pills because

120
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: of their trainer and his record, but we also talked

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: about the fact and the experts that I talked to

122
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: said they thought this was like a sea field, maybe

123
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: even a c minus field. There was no American Pharaoh,

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: there was no Justified, there was no Secretariat. Yesterday was

125
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: the fifty year anniversary, by the way of the Secretariat's

126
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: incredible performance, and I said, I believe this race would

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: be tight, and any one of many horses could win.

128
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: And if they ran this race three times, I bet

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: you'd get three winners. And if you're gonna bet, you

130
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: better get lucky. It was safer to bet head to head,

131
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: or perhaps safer to box horses, and I recommended you

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: box three, fourteen and fifteen. I think two of the

133
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: three came in. I was not involved. I did have

134
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, I did believe in in two Fields quite

135
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: a bit. He was a runaway five length winner at

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: the Jeff Ruby Stakes. His trainer has an amazing record,

137
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: and it was an exciting finish. People who don't even

138
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: don't even can't even name horses were screaming at the

139
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: top of their lungs because they put two bucks or

140
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: five bucks on a horse when they saw the backstretch

141
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: and what happened. And again, there are stories. The storylines

142
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: are bound at the Kentucky Derby unreal. I'm not intelligent

143
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: enough to comment on why seven horses have died, but

144
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: that's going to be a story. That's a story that'll

145
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: be covered and perhaps we'll find out more later. One

146
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: of the things we talked about last night was the

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: odds on favorite to win the race in terms of

148
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: the morning odds from Friday, Forte. Well, we also talked

149
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: about the fact Forte had a bad step in their

150
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Thursday training and rumor has he might not run the race,

151
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: he might get scratched. Sure enough, Forte was scratched today

152
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: and all five horses were scratched. And I really wanted

153
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: to watch fort a race, not because he was secretariat,

154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 2: because he just wins. He'd won five in a row.

155
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: He'd won six to seven, including four Grade one races.

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: This is a horse no doesn't win by a big margin.

157
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: Doesn't run away from the field. He's not dominant, not

158
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: super fast, doesn't have crazy times. Just wins, just wins.

159
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: But boy, I'll tell you coming down the stretch. And

160
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: our guy here, Chris Andrews, the sportsbook director over at

161
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: Soft Point, give him credit. I know for a fact

162
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 2: he had Mage. He told people, and I know he did.

163
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: And Mage was the eighth horse fifteen to one. Mage

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: only had three career starts and all three were at

165
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: Gulf Stream Park. But maybe with the reason Chris loved

166
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: Mage was because he lost by just a length to

167
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: Forte the Florida Derby, and that kind of had a

168
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: big impact on Maje's odds, even though he's fifteen to one.

169
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: So you know he saw something. But when you bet

170
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: horse racing gets a needle in a haystack, bet it's

171
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: a you know you're shooting babies at the moon. There's

172
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: just no guarantee. But whether you are just watching or

173
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: your betting, you can't tell me you weren't on the

174
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: edge of your seat as you watched those horses speed

175
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: towards the finish line. By the way, let's not bury

176
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: the lead. The Kentucky Derby has become the ultimate goal

177
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: for every jockey, every trainer, every owner to get to

178
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: that get to Churchill Downs, due to the incredibly high

179
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: honor that comes with winning the race. On top of that,

180
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: there's an incredibly long qualifying process just to enter the

181
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby, which means only the best of the best

182
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: horses just get to compete and get their bottom line.

183
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: As I said before, to summarize it, the Kentucky Derby

184
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: is much more than a horse race. It's a cultural icon.

185
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: It's a celebration of dressing up, partying, eating food, drinking

186
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: pure pleasure, watching a sporting event, congregating on a sunny

187
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: May afternoon, and of course maybe even throwing a few

188
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: shekels down. That's my old monster, the Kentucky Derby. Again,

189
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: we don't have royalty in this country. Our entertainers, our

190
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: actors are certainly our athletes who also are entertainers, and

191
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: I guess even our horses, they are in fact our royalty.

192
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: And believe me, you are here for it, you know

193
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 2: you are. I want to remind everybody that Discover at

00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,839

229
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:30,239
Speaker 2: longtime sports talk media veteran, hosts a daily show, Boston

230
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: Versus the Book and with our good friend Dave Sherpan,

231
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: who's been on the show many times. Say hello to

232
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: Matt Parol. Matt, how are you any, buddy?

233
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: Good evening, sir, how are you doing well?

234
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: Thanks? And before we dive in, as we get into

235
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: the segment, I'm going to do a little omadge. I

236
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: think what you guys do with your Bostonian versus the

237
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: Book is very clever. So we're gonna get our audience

238
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: a little sampling of that on various subject matter. So

239
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: let's start with your hometown. Between nineteen seven in two

240
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: thousand and three, there have been multiple opportunities where an

241
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: NBA team and an NHL team the same city had

242
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: a chance to both win the championship in the same season.

243
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: It's never happened. This year. I really thought it could.

244
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: Are you still shocked at Boston the Bruins after losing

245
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: only twelve games and five months, last four games in

246
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: ten days.

247
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does sting. I'm not gonna lie. It's one

248
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: of those moments as a fan and as a media member,

249
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 5: you just you get so hyped up and you get

250
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: so excited for something that you've never seen before in

251
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: history happening, and then it gets taken away so fast

252
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 5: and you're just kind of like, wait, what just happened?

253
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 5: Not in the second round? How is this even possible?

254
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 5: So it's frustrating because it's the end of an era

255
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: in Boston because looks like Prituth Bergeron's going to walk

256
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 5: and most likely David Tracy as well. But I mean,

257
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 5: I think the Bruins will be right back to where

258
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: they were. I keep on talking about two thousand and three,

259
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: two thousand and four. You know, three Red Sox, you

260
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 5: have a horrible situation where they blow it Aaron Boone

261
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 5: and the whole thing that goes show up for the Yankees,

262
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 5: I thought to win the series in two thousand and

263
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 5: four coming from behind with incredible fashion. So I think

264
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 5: next year could be a really special year for Boston.

265
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 5: But the Bruins, it definitely stays.

266
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: There's just something about winning the President's Cup I saw

267
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: in Detroit. There's no guarantee of future success. Before we

268
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: move on your thoughts on today's Kentucky Derby, Matt and

269
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: were you involved at all?

270
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 5: I wasn't involved because the ticket that I had purchased

271
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 5: scratch when the favorite went down. And I feel for

272
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 5: the horse guys. I mean, I know, this is the

273
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: super Bowl of horse racing, and these horse guys do

274
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 5: months of research, they follow horses and all the smaller races.

275
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 5: They get ready to do all the work, and in

276
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 5: the morning of you see a rash of horses being scratched,

277
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: incruiting the odds on favorite. So it's got to be

278
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: a huge frustration for those people that really make their

279
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: living or make their money betting on the ponies. I

280
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: just do it for fun, but I wasn't involved today.

281
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 5: The ticket I had had the favorite in Morning of

282
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 5: Scratch that that bet it was gone.

283
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: You referring to forte yes. Yeah, now that was really sad.

284
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: I know you had to misstep Thursday. But you know, Matt,

285
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: you're a betting veteran. Hopefully the house you bet will

286
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: refund your money, because a lot of times when you

287
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: place a bet on a horse, it's action no matter what.

288
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: Do you know what the house rules were when you

289
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: when you got your bet down, I.

290
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 5: Got my bet back, but not every I know for

291
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: a fact that everybody does. I'm prettyfic. I'm pretty specific

292
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 5: when it comes to the places that I bet at.

293
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: Knowing your house rules is such a gigantic thaying. I mean,

294
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 5: there's a lot of newbies coming into the space and

295
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 5: like things. But like it happens in golf all the

296
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: time with the dead heat rule and something we've never

297
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: heard of before until the European models became part of

298
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: the American sports betting landscape that if you bet a

299
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 5: guy to come in top ten, you don't get paid

300
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: out at the odds you bet, you get a percentage

301
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 5: of what I be tied first, second, third, or how

302
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: how many golfers tides at tenth place. You get paid

303
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: out at a different rate. Sometimes you actually lose money

304
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: with it. So you got to know house rules. And

305
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: I'm very particular with where I bet in terms of horses.

306
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: I want to make sure I'm getting my money back

307
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: to the corse scratches.

308
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: One million percent, and I can't emphasize it enough. I

309
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: do it all the time in this show, and horse

310
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: racing is one of those sports where a lot of

311
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: times the house it's created as action regardless of what happens.

312
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: So good for you that you did your research there.

313
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's have a little fun. I want to

314
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,359
Speaker 2: set this up so you and our good guy Dave Sheripan,

315
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: who's known for years, Dave's been on this show. You

316
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: do a little segment on your show called Bostonian Versus

317
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: the Book, So you'll bring up a team or an

318
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: event and would you rather be the book or would

319
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: you rather be the better I think I described that right,

320
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: didn't I mat.

321
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 5: Well, No, it's basically Dave is the book of this show.

322
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: So I'm the Bostonian. I'm born and raised. I got

323
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: you Boston. Dave's the book. So I gave Dave a

324
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 5: bet that I make, and if Dave likes it, he

325
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 5: bets it. If Dave doesn't like it, you books it.

326
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 5: So that's how we do it.

327
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: Fair enough, So let's start with the Lakers. I know

328
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: the books have a lot of, you know, exposure to Lakers,

329
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: and I give them credit for what they're doing, but

330
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm certainly not sold yet. So in this particular case,

331
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: would you rather be the Bostonian or the book when

332
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: it comes to the Lakers.

333
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 5: Look, I think right now, I'm still gonna book it.

334
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: I'm still thinking that the Lakers are a little bit

335
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 5: fooled gold on this. But the I mean, what happens

336
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 5: in Game four is gonna tell me a lot because

337
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: this is this is Anthony Davis tread It's really weird.

338
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: Game one, Game three, Game five, Game seven. He's great

339
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: on the odds, on the even number games, he's horrible.

340
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 5: So if he stinks in Game four and the Warriors

341
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: win Game four, then I think the Warriors are a

342
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: really good shot at winning the series. But the Lakers

343
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 5: can play well in Game four, maybe I'm wrong, and

344
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 5: maybe this is the team after it getting the changes

345
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: done the deadline, maybe the team can go to the finals.

346
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: Well, what concerns me about the Lakers is gonna play

347
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: every other night now for the next four games if

348
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: it goes to full seven. And the truth of the

349
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: matter is is I think the cumulative effect on that

350
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: is going to start the tire the Lakers out. Just

351
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: my opinion, So I'm with you. I still would rather

352
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: book it. Let's talk about the remaining Boston team. The

353
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics head into Philadelphia tomorrow. Let's start with Sunday's game.

354
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: Celtics head into a town as a two and a

355
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: half point favorite. Last line I saw on the road,

356
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: would you rather book it? Or would you rather be

357
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: the Bostonian.

358
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 5: Look, I'm a the Celtics homer. I'm gonna tell you this.

359
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 5: I think Boston I think okay, I think Boston wins tomorrow.

360
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 5: But I think there's some logic behind it where defensively,

361
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 5: the Sixers just can't stop the Celtics. Offensively, they just

362
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 5: can't slow them down. Jason didn't talk about after Game three.

363
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 5: They get it basically, whatever shots that they want and

364
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 5: if they're off, they'll lose, but they're not being stoped

365
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 5: by Philadelphia. Embeed played well in Game three. But Harden

366
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 5: whatever game one, whatever he took before game one, he

367
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 5: has disappeared. And Jalen Brown is on a phenomenal job

368
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 5: defensively on him, completely shutting him down after what happened

369
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: in game number one. I just know think Philadelphia matches

370
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 5: up very well against Boston. And these playoffs have been

371
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: absolutely ridiculous because points spreads do not matter, either the

372
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 5: dog wins outright or the whole the team favorite covers.

373
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 5: I've never seen it like this the spread. I mean,

374
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 5: if you're betting, you know plus the points, you're making

375
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 5: a mistake. Do not bet plus the points. If you

376
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 5: like a team, you like Philly tomorrow, take Philly on

377
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 5: the money line, don't take plus the points.

378
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: Let's stay with the Celtics. Obviously, you can bet them

379
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: to get to the NBA Finals, and you can bet

380
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: them to win the championship, but start with the NBA Finals.

381
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: You think Boston gets to the NBA Finals, would you

382
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 2: would you rather book it or bet it?

383
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 6: No?

384
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: I think they get there. I think Boston's beating Philly

385
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 5: and then Boston's beating either the Mix or Miami. I

386
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 5: would prefer to be the next the Celtics fan, but

387
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 5: I think they will beat Miami. It will be a

388
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: harder fight with Jimmy Butler, you know, with the way

389
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 5: he can put a team on his back. But Boston's

390
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: fared well against both those teams. The problem is is

391
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: that Boston be the odds on favor to win the

392
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 5: NBA Championship by the margin that it is right now

393
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 5: at some books are plus one fifty a plus four

394
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: hundred the second option. It's such a large gap between

395
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 5: the two teams. I just don't believe it. I don't

396
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 5: believe because Boston can literally go to sleep like they

397
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 5: did in Game one and they'll lose, and they could

398
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: do it for a couple of games. They've got a

399
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: young head coach is not proven at the highest of level.

400
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: Yep.

401
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 5: I'm concerned about that, and so I don't really to

402
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 5: win the East. I like to win the NBA Championship. Look,

403
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 5: I would love the Warriors. I want revenge for last year,

404
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: the whole Steph Curry putting Boston to sleep. It would

405
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: be incredible theater if it could be Celtics Warriors, but

406
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 5: Celtics Lakers is I mean, I'm forty six. That's my

407
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 5: that's my childhood.

408
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: Give me that.

409
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: If I can get it, I.

410
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 2: Squeeze in two more. Let's go to hockey. The Vegas

411
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: School to Knights. I was really impressed with Edmonds today,

412
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: even more so on the defensive side than the offensive side.

413
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: Vegas School of Knights to beat Edmonton in the series?

414
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 2: Would you book it or would you bet it?

415
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 5: I'm booking it. I think Edmonton if the Golden Knights,

416
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 5: if they go in the box like they did today,

417
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 5: they're dead. They're not winning that series. I mean, I

418
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: don't know what Jack Eichele was doing today. How do

419
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 5: you take two penalties in a game where you know

420
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 5: that the team has the most lethal power play in

421
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 5: the entire playoffs and they killed the gold Knights in

422
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 5: the first period two power or three power play goals,

423
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 5: a short handed goal. If that's how the series goes

424
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 5: the rest of the way, Vegas is in big trouble.

425
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 5: If they can play five on five, I think Vegas

426
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 5: is a better team than Edmonton is five on five.

427
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 5: I'm very concerned about about the power play for edmondtin

428
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 5: So right now, Eileen Oilers. Now that they have.

429
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: Whole mice, most prolific power play in history, they're converting

430
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: like sixty percent during the playoffs. Last one, let's have

431
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: a little fun. Deon Sanders college football. The Colorado Buffalo's

432
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: win total this season four and a half. Shit into

433
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: the under minus one for two. Where do you lie

434
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: on this one?

435
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 5: So I'm going to go to the Nebraska Colorado game.

436
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 5: I'm really excited to see what's gonna happen and Boulder

437
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: this year. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna say over, Okay,

438
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna believe in Dion winning five games. I don't

439
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 5: think he goes to a bowl game, but I do

440
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: think he's got a chance. The schedule is brutal. I

441
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 5: looked at the schedule, but like that Nebraski game almost

442
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 5: becomes the lynchpin of the whole season for them in

443
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 5: terms of whether they go over or under from a

444
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 5: win total perspective. But they got to take care of

445
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 5: the teams are supposed to beat. They better beat them.

446
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 5: If they trip up and flip up against anybody, it

447
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 5: could be tough. But I like what's going on with

448
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 5: Deion Sanders. I think it's the modern way the football

449
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 5: is gonna be run soon. I know the diehard, the

450
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 5: long term guys who have watched guys and girls who

451
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 5: have watched football in college for years are gonna hate

452
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 5: the fact that new coaches will come in and blow

453
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 5: out everybody. That's the world we live in now, That's

454
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 5: what we're gonna see.

455
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: A lot more of good stuff. Man, let's get you

456
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: on again before college football.

457
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 5: Thanks, guys, appreciate it all right man.

458
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: For all Bostonian versus the book coming up, Aaron Torres

459
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: has the backstory, Bronnie James, do you u? But first,

460
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: it's good Brian Finny with the latest.

461
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 7: All right, thanks Bernie. Let's go NBA playoffs upon us

462
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 7: and the Lakers are winners against the Warriors one twenty

463
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 7: seven to ninety seven. That's Game three of their second

464
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 7: round playoff series. LBJ also known as Lebron James, celebrating

465
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 7: his twenty one point eight rebound eight as his performance.

466
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 7: He's also celebrating the fact that his son has committed

467
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 7: to USC, a highly hyped high school player will stay

468
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 7: in Los Angeles, a team in the Lake Show that

469
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 7: is now ahead in the series two games to one.

470
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 7: As far as the heat, they also want to blow

471
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 7: out fashion this time against the nixt one of five

472
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 7: to eighty six in the Game three, so that second

473
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 7: round Eastern Conference series goes the way of the heat

474
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 7: and they are up two games to one. Also, big

475
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 7: performance in Game three for Jimmy Butler twenty eight points

476
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 7: and connecting on ten of eleven free throws NHL second

477
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 7: Round postseason play, and the Oilers are out the Golden

478
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 7: Knights five to one in a game two. Four goals

479
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 7: scored in that first period for Edmonton as they equal

480
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 7: the series at one game apiece. We do have some

481
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 7: baseball to get to, including a win for the Dodgers

482
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 7: two to one. Chris Taylor hit a home run there

483
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 7: as they get it done against the Padres. Also, how

484
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 7: about the Angels, as they've been playing very well as

485
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 7: of late, they come up with a ten to one win.

486
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 7: As you run through other scorers in relation to Major

487
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 7: League Baseball, by the way, they ten to one win

488
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 7: was actually to the Rangers ten to one over the Angels,

489
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 7: and it was packed back by fifteen hits from Texas. Elsewhere,

490
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 7: the Giants stump the Brewers four to one. The Phillies

491
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 7: lose a six straight game as they go down at

492
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 7: home to the Red Sox seven to four, and the

493
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 7: Braves use a Kevin Pular pinchhit two run home run

494
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 7: in the eighth inning to eclipse the Orioles five to four.

495
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 7: Back to Bernie Fredo.

496
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, Brian, all right, let's welcome in our college

497
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: basketball Fox Sports Radio guru personally hangs out with Andy Enfield.

498
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: So not a better guy to have on tonight than

499
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: Aaron Taurres. Aaron, Ronnie James to usc tell us what

500
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: we don't know?

501
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I think, Bernie, the reason I was

502
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 8: excited to talk to you about this is because you,

503
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 8: being the guy that you are, you're always inquisitive, and

504
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 8: you were asking me questions about this a year ago.

505
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 8: And so what I would say that people don't know

506
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 8: it was a unique recruitment for reasons that we talked about.

507
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 9: You know, and I think that.

508
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 8: Maybe, like I think, it was unique recruitment because of

509
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 8: the family dynamic, because of Lebron's ties to Nike. I

510
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 8: said on my show, you know, uh, Bronnie wasn't going

511
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 8: to go to a Kansas or a Louisville and Adida school,

512
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 8: but Also, you know, from my understanding of things, you know,

513
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 8: the USC staff was pretty transparent with not only Bronnie

514
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 8: but his entire family of we think you're a very good.

515
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 9: Player, but we have other good players.

516
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 8: And you know, if you think this is gonna be

517
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 8: the Bronni show and everything's going to evolve around you,

518
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 8: then that's not really going to be the case. And

519
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 8: the one thing I'll say is, you know, I was

520
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 8: around Bronnie a little bit early in his high school

521
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 8: career at Sierra Canyon. He played with Zier Williams who's

522
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 8: now in the NBA, played with bj Boston, who's bouncing

523
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 8: between the NBA and the G League. So there is

524
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 8: a precedent for this at Tierra Canyon, where he was

525
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 8: a role player and kind of developed into kind of

526
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 8: a key cog. But nothing was handed him to him

527
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 8: at Tierra Canyon. I don't think anything will be handed

528
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 8: to him at USC. And I give both the USC

529
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 8: coaching staff but also Lebron himself credit because Lebron was

530
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 8: was both you know, active in the recruitment but also

531
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 8: pass it from the perspective of saying, I'm handing my

532
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 8: son off to you, and what you guys think is

533
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 8: best for him. I'm gonna trust you for it, so

534
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 8: we'll see if it plays out like that. But that's

535
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 8: but I think that that, you know, I give Lebron

536
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 8: credit because I think there's a lot of stuff out

537
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 8: there about the recruitment that just doesn't actually correct.

538
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you a question, Aaron, was there

539
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: really ever any doubt he was going to leave LA.

540
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 2: Didn't Lebron want to be around his son. He's not

541
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: gonna go to Ohio State and watch his games. He's

542
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: not gonna go up to Oregon and watch his games.

543
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: He's busy. So was there really any doubt? And by

544
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: the way, I understand who's gonna wear number zero? Is

545
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: that true? Is Jerry's gonna be number zero?

546
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 4: That?

547
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 8: I cannot confirm the USC stuff, you know, I'll say this,

548
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 8: I do think USC always made the most sense for

549
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 8: exactly what you said, Bernie, high profile kid. You know,

550
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 8: I get why his parents are wand close to home.

551
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 8: There's obviously a lot of people pulling him in different

552
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 8: directions as an eighteen year old. I guess what I

553
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 8: would say is I think USC always made the most sense.

554
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 8: I'm not totally positive that it was always going to

555
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 8: be USC from USC's perspective until the last couple of weeks.

556
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 8: I mean, they have a pretty loaded backcourt. Boogie Elis

557
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 8: their leading scorers coming back, Isaiah Collier, the top guard

558
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 8: in high school basketball, was already coming in. And I

559
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 8: don't think it was really until they had a couple

560
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 8: guys unexpectedly transfer this offseason. Welcome to the transfer portal world.

561
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 8: You know, they had guys that they thought were coming

562
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 8: back that weren't that they really said, Okay, we see

563
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 8: a pathway for not only to.

564
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 9: Bring in Brownie James, but for him to have a

565
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 9: big role.

566
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 8: And I think it was not only the concern of USC,

567
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 8: but I think it was the concern of everybody that recruited.

568
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 9: Bronnie James of we got to make sure that.

569
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 8: There's a pathway to playing time. Not that we're going

570
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 8: to guarantee him anything, not.

571
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 9: That we're going to promise them a starting spot or whatever.

572
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 8: But if you're bringing in Bronnie James to be your

573
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 8: ninth guy in to play six minutes off the bench,

574
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 8: not only is it not gonna fly from probably the

575
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 8: James camp, it's not gonna fly from a pr perspective.

576
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 8: I mean, people are gonna want to see him play.

577
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 8: If you're struggling, they're gonna be questioning why he's not playing.

578
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 8: Even if you're having success, they're gonna question why he's

579
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 8: not playing. More So, USC always made the most sense.

580
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 8: Staying in LA made the most sense.

581
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 9: Going to a Nike school made the most sense. But

582
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 9: I think it was really some stuff that happened in.

583
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 8: The transfer portal that really opened the pathway for this

584
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 8: to be a really perfect almost fit for both sides.

585
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: So that's a pretty interesting dynamic there. And talking about

586
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: Aaron Tauris or Fox Sports Radio College Basketball grew you

587
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: hear him every Saturday night, Jason Martin seven to eleven

588
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 2: Pacific to do a great job. What do you expect

589
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: this role to be. I've seen Brinni James play only

590
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: on TV and not on person, and I like his game.

591
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how much of an impact he can

592
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: amazon freshman. What do you really expect his role to be?

593
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: Give me the same player. But if his name's Eddie Gazinski,

594
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: what do you expect his role to be next year?

595
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 9: His name is Eddie Gazinski.

596
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 8: That's, first of all, a great name, no, I mean, listen,

597
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 8: I think, and this is kind of the thing that

598
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 8: we talked about previously.

599
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 9: About his recruitment is I think what scared a lot.

600
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 8: Of people away was Lebron publicly saying that he wants

601
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 8: to play with him in the NBA and that he

602
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 8: you know, Lebron has restructured his contract to have to

603
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 8: be a free agent when Bronni enters the league. Why

604
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 8: do I bring it up. It's because Bronni, if we're

605
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 8: talking about him as a prospect, is probably a guy

606
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 8: that maybe would have an NBA future, but it's probably

607
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 8: as a two or three year certainly a two maybe

608
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 8: a three four year developmental guy. He's not an instant

609
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 8: impact one and done. He's not John Wall or Derrick Rose.

610
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 9: He's not even.

611
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 8: Isaiah Collier, who's the number one point guard in America,

612
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 8: who's going to USC, who has ties to this staff

613
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 8: as well. So I think he is going to start.

614
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna play big minutes. But I think

615
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 8: if you think that he is coming in to elevate

616
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 8: USC to a stratuspeer that it's never been. First of all,

617
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 8: this is a really good team. Had there been a

618
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 8: twenty twenty NCAA tournament. They'd be going on four straight

619
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 8: NCAA tournaments. They've made three straight and had a team

620
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty good enough, so this would essentially be five.

621
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 9: Years in a row.

622
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 8: So I just bring it up to say, I think

623
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 8: he's a good player. I think if his name was

624
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 8: Eddie Kazinski, as you said, he's probably a three to

625
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 8: four year player, and we're talking about him maybe being

626
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 8: able to develop into an NBA player. But I also

627
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 8: think that, you know, I think that that's part of

628
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 8: why USC really made sure to check all the boxes

629
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 8: before taking him him, understanding that not only is there

630
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 8: a role for him, but that he's going to be

631
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 8: willing to accept that role.

632
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: Well, so it sounds like he's going to start. You

633
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 2: believe he's going there with the idea of starting as

634
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: a freshman and getting significant minutes as a freshman. Is

635
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: that correct?

636
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, but I don't think anything's been promised to him.

637
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 8: I can say almost certainly nothing has been.

638
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: I've been following college basketball since the Gary mcnight modern

639
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: day days of the early eighties, and I know, yeah,

640
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: I like him. He's an interesting guy. Bottom line is this.

641
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: I am aware that Sierra Canyon plays in one of

642
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: the toughest high school leagues in the country. So I

643
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: want to ask you a question, and of course, for

644
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: people who selectively listen will think this question is perverse,

645
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: It's not. Broni Brownie James was second team All league

646
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: in high school? Okay, why was that?

647
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 8: Because he's a very good player playing and as you said,

648
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 8: one of the best leagues in the country.

649
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 9: I meant, I don't want to repack this.

650
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: Somebody thinks he's gonna be a lottery pick a you're

651
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: you're in the two years removes.

652
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 8: From there, I'll say, Bernie, I don't want to criticize

653
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 8: the kid because.

654
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 9: I think they I don't let me, let me, let me, let.

655
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 8: Me context to us.

656
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 9: Because I don't what I'm going to say next.

657
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 8: It's gonna sound like I'm taking a shot at the kid,

658
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 8: and I'm not, because I think he works really hard

659
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 8: and I think he wants to be a great player

660
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 8: independent of who his father is. Anybody ranking him as

661
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 8: a top ten prospect a year from now, I'll just

662
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 8: say bluntly, either doesn't know what they're talking about or

663
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 8: believes that he will be a top ten pick. Because

664
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 8: someone will draft him believing that they can get Lebron

665
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 8: James his father as a package deal. So if you're

666
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 8: the whatever, the New Orleans Pelicans, and you believe that

667
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 8: if you draft Bronnie that you get Lebron James with it,

668
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 8: then it maybe changes the perspective on whether it's worth

669
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 8: using a high pick on him or not. I've seen them.

670
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 8: I can tell you I've talked from multiple people across

671
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 8: basketball outside of my own observations, and I said it

672
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 8: on my show and a couple hours ago, there's no

673
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 8: one in the world that thinks that he will be

674
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 8: one of the ten best NBA draft prospects a calendar

675
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 8: year from now when he's eligible for the NBA Draft.

676
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'll make a statement and you can respond to this.

677
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: So years ago, I got to see Ken Griffy Senior

678
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: and Ken Griffy Junior play in the same game. It

679
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: was awesome, awesome, it was sight to see they both

680
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: hit home runs. Actually, so should the day come that

681
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: Lebron James and Bronni James are on the floor at

682
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: the same time, that would be awesome. No one can

683
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: tell me that that would not be a spectacular event

684
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: and something to see and clearly probably on Lebron James,

685
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: even though I hate the term bucket list, his all

686
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: time wish list. He may maybe even get to make

687
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: a wish foundation. The question is is a reality? So, Aaron,

688
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: you're one of the most maybe the most knowledgeable basketball

689
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: guy I know, and you really do your homework. You're

690
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: a betting man two and you're a smart better. Are

691
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: you betting that happen someday or no?

692
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, I bet that it happens.

693
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 8: I think that Again, the question becomes does he feel

694
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 8: pressure to enter the draft after next year because his

695
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 8: dad has set some unrealistic expectation for him. Does a

696
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 8: team draft him believing that it gives them access to Lebron?

697
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 8: Or does it played out more organically where he stays

698
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 8: in college for two or three years and maybe plays

699
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 8: his way into being a legitimate second round, late first

700
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 8: round pick, which I believe he could be after three

701
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 8: or four years of college basketball. So that point I

702
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 8: can't answer, But listen, Lebron's still going strong. He's not

703
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 8: the player that he once was, But if he knows

704
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 8: his son's coming down the pike, I mean, this isn't

705
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 8: you know? Payon Manning in his last year where he

706
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 8: could barely throw the football. I mean, Lebron's still putting

707
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 8: up twenty twenty games in the playoffs. So he has

708
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 8: four or five years in him, maybe not five, but

709
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 8: you know, he's got three four years left in him

710
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 8: if he wants it, and then Bronnie, I think will

711
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 8: be in the league at some point in that window.

712
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 8: I think the big question comes down to what I

713
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 8: what I said and what you've said, which is nobody

714
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 8: believes that he will be a draftable high end prospect

715
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 8: a year from now, which, by the way, that's no

716
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 8: knock on him, most guys aren't after one year of college.

717
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 8: But the question becomes, does he feel pressure to enter

718
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 8: the draft after his freshman year? Does a team believe

719
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 8: that drafting him will bring Lebron to their city. If

720
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 8: they do, then that maybe makes it worth drafting Lebron

721
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 8: up Bronni. So but they answer your question answer, I

722
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 8: think that they absolutely can at some point in the

723
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 8: next three to four years.

724
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 9: Make that happen.

725
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: And in four years Lebron James will be forty three.

726
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: This will be something to watch here. And we're gonna

727
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: lean on you, buddy. I know you're an trust you

728
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,839

730
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: we'll continue to lean on this. I already can't wait

731
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: for college basketball. I'm looking forward to he Lebronni James.

Speaker 2: and I wish him well. Let's just see what happens

744
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: coming up. The Detroit Lions took a little heat for

745
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: their draft.

746
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 10: No.

747
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,520

748
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,360

749
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: all have to do that. But I want to defend

750
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions because it took a heat over. It

751
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: took some heat over a specific draft choice, and I

752
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: want to give it a little bit of context. I'm

Speaker 2: of a full breakdown to the NFL Draft winners and losers,

772
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: because you know, like I said, it's the law, we

773
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: have to do it. But I want to talk about

774
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions because they surprised me and they surprised

775
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: a lot of folks with their first pick they get.

776
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: They drafted Jamiir Gibbs, extremely athletic and talented running back

777
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: out of Alabama, and I said the same thing to myself.

778
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: The second to the last draft I covered was L seven,

779
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: when the Lions drafted Calvin Johnson. Matt Millen was on

780
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: that run of wide receivers when they needed everything else

781
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: in the field. I remember saying I liked the player,

782
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: I just don't like the pick. However, this has a

783
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 2: different context. Remember the Lions, I believe, were all set

784
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: to get Devin Witherspoon, the lockdown cornerback out of Illinois,

785
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: who went to Seattle, who's going to step in day

786
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: one start and he's going to be a five to

787
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: ten year starter in the league, buying something crazy. That's

788
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: who the Lions I believe, are going to get. When

789
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: he went off the board, the Lions went to a

790
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: Plan B, so they ended up drafting Jamira Gibbs, and

791
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: the only knock I heard from the NFL. Scotts I

792
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: talked to were what was that Gibbs would have been

793
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: there in the second round, but be that as may

794
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: he's going to step on the field and have a

795
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: significant role. And then the Lions went on to trade

796
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift, so it started to make more sense. But

797
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: the Lions also went on to I think have a

798
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: very good draft. They draft Jack Campbell, a captain linebacker

799
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: out of Iowa, one of the best linebackers in the country.

800
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Six fifty one, runs a four or five forty. He's

801
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 2: a wild man sideline the sideline, He's a tackling machine.

802
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: He is going to help the Lions stuff the run.

803
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 2: The Lions gave up over five yards per carry on

804
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 2: the run last year. Again, he steps on the field

805
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: day one and starts. Lions also get Sam Laporte, a

806
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: very talented tight end. He'll make up for when TJ.

807
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: Howkinson left. He's productive Day one. Brian Branch of safety

808
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: out of Alabama. He also got Hendon Hooker for down

809
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: the road and a wide receiver. Look, the Lions in

810
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: total in their draft basically got four starters, so you

811
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: really cannot fault them. A whole hell of a lot

812
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: when you consider that in the draft, there are going

813
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: to put four new bodies on the field that should

814
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: have an impact right away as the Lions try to

815
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: build on what they did last year. So yes, you

816
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 2: scratch your head when you use your your first pick

817
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 2: in the first round, regardless of where you pick to

818
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: draft a running back. And I was shocked when they

819
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: passed on Jalen Carter. I was shocked when they passed

820
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: on Tyree Wilson. Look the long and the short of

821
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 2: it is, I want to get I want to defend

822
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: the Lions because when you understand the context behind what

823
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: they did and why they did and the fact that

824
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: they ended up getting four starters, and these guys are

825
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: going to be very productive and they weren't able to

826
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 2: get Devin Witherspoon. You understand, good job lines. I hope

827
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: you keep building on what happened last year. Would be

828
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: a great story to see you finally put one up

829
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: in the books and get to the playoffs. Come it up,

842
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: all that, but Mark, I want to start about thirty

843
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: thousand feet and to send down word. First of all,

844
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: how you doing to night, Mark.

845
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 5: I'm doing fantastic. I'm healthy, watching playoffs, Basketball, Lakers, Wars ten.

846
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: Ask much more load manage? No load management for you, buddy.

847
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: Easy for me to say.

848
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 5: Now, it's it's a playoffs. It's all about competing for

849
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 5: the full forty.

850
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 2: There you go, That's what I'm talking about. Uh listen.

851
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Mike Budenholzer situation simply

852
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: because it's it seems like there are a lot of layers.

853
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: So you've got new ownership. His brother passed away. They

854
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: blew a couple of leads in the series. Janni Scott hurt.

855
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 2: Had he not got hurt, might they have advanced winning

856
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: His coach last five years brought the Bucks a championship.

857
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, Mark letting Mark Mike

858
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: Budenholzer go. Was it the right decision?

859
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: I don't think it was the right decision. I mean,

860
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 5: you you added a lot of caveats there that you

861
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 5: can't take lately here with Gianasatakoupo miss in two and

862
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 5: a half games because of his back injury, the fact

863
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 5: that Mike was going through, uh some personal ordeals with

864
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 5: losing his brother, and when you you know, when you

865
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 5: look at it through the lens of you know, other

866
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 5: people that can relate to you know, your job's obviously

867
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 5: going to be affected when he loses a family member.

868
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 5: That's why most employers give you beriefentally.

869
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 11: Right.

870
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 5: The the other part, the Miami Heats a really good team.

871
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: They're they're an eighth seed only because they had their

872
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 5: own slow of injuries, most notably with Jimmy Butler, and

873
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 5: I think the bigger part is that they are only

874
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 5: two years removed from winning an NBA championship. And that's

875
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 5: not to say that Mike Budenholzer doesn't deserve scrutiny or

876
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 5: he's a of not having a certain level of job security,

877
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 5: but I think that he should have been given some

878
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 5: equity that at the end of the day, that the

879
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 5: Bucks shortcomings had more to do with external circumstances than

880
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 5: players or coaches, you know, not living up to, you know,

881
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 5: the standards that they've set. And I think that the

882
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 5: other thing is that because of that championship equity, there

883
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 5: is a value in keeping kind of what Gregg Popovich,

884
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 5: the first coach, has called over the year's corporate knowledge,

885
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 5: because that allows you to kind of course correct and pivot.

886
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 5: You know. You look at the Spurs, for example, they

887
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 5: they had gone through years where they lost in the

888
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 5: first round, underachieved, and they didn't you know, bulp the

889
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 5: roster or fire pop. They just made improvements from within,

890
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 5: made tweaks on the roster, and there you go. And

891
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 5: I think when you look at the Bucks, they have

892
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 5: everything right there that's need to win the title, with

893
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 5: star players, a lot of good role players, continuity. That's

894
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 5: not to say that boon holes are can improve rotations

895
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 5: or decision makings or schemes. But I think that the

896
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 5: coaching decision just really reeked of, you know, the organization

897
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 5: wanting to point a finger of blame at the first

898
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 5: round flame out against Miami, as well as you know,

899
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 5: possibly no new ownership wanting to have their fingerprints on

900
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 5: something so that they can take credit for it.

901
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: You bring up a lot of good points there, which

902
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: dove till with the moles I've talked to in that

903
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: Milwaukee has the pieces parts, They have the roster composition

904
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 2: to win a championship next year and the year after,

905
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: but the window could close fairly quickly after a couple

906
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: of years. So the question becomes, who do you replace

907
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: him with? Do you take Charles Lee and move him

908
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: down a couple of seats on the bench. He's unproven,

909
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: but he's been you know, Budenholzers in Atlanta Milwaukee. Do

910
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 2: you go out and get a Frank Vogel. I understand

911
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse is in the mix. Who do you think

912
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 2: ends up in Milwaukee sideline next year?

913
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to say, but I think it's going

914
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 5: to be among those free candidates. And I think that

915
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 5: it dapples to oranges when you're looking at this example,

916
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 5: but the same logic applies when the Cleveland Cavaliers decide

917
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 5: to fire David Blast you know bid way through the

918
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen sixteen season. Ironically, after leading the Cavs to

919
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 5: an NBA Finals appearance as their first of many against

920
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 5: Golden State, they decide to promote ty Loo because he

921
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 5: already was on the coaching staff. He had a lot

922
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 5: of respect within the Calvs you know, locker room, and

923
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 5: I know that Charles Lee is viewed as in the

924
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 5: same dynamic. Where I think it is a little bit

925
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 5: different is David Blatt. I think was given the right,

926
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 5: you know, exit because you know he's an accomplished coach overseas,

927
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 5: but he faced a lot of learning curves with knowing

928
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 5: the NBA game or laying the players. And arguably the

929
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 5: Calves wound up making the finals because they have Lebron

930
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 5: James on the team. But I think that that whole

931
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 5: idea might explain, well, Charles Lee will get it. But

932
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 5: when you look at Frank's Vogel Nick, you know, they're

933
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 5: proven better in coaches. They've had success with championship constructed rosters,

934
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 5: and so I think that in those canvadates in particular.

935
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 5: It could be a little bit feeling out process as

936
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 5: far as knowing personalities, but as far as concept, it

937
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 5: could really just be Plug and.

938
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: Plood talking with our NBA guru, Mark Medina and Medina

939
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 2: Magic final thought on the bucks. And by the way,

940
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 2: we're in an odd NBA. Frank Vogel win a championship,

941
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: get fired, Mike Budenholzer win a championship, get fired, Nick

942
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: Nurse win a championship, get fired. Listen, they've got they've

943
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 2: got to give some money to Chris Middleton and Brook

944
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: Lopez to keep them around. Giannie's contracts coming up in

945
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: a couple of years. How do you do all that

946
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: and surround those players with more talent so you can

947
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: keep that title opportunity open.

948
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's really the challenging part here, Bernie,

949
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 5: because you know, the simple answers, Oh, what you find

950
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 5: role players that fulfill positional needs basically like what they've

951
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 5: been in the past year. But that's usually when you

952
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 5: have the core already locked in. And therefore you could convince,

953
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 5: you know, role players to sign a vet orrine Minimum's

954
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 5: deals and all that, and so, you know, I think

955
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 5: the commitment they have to be willing to spend on

956
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 5: Chris Middleton. And while it is obviously important to sign

957
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 5: an extension janis onto Takoumpo for obvious reasons, I don't

958
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 5: think that they should overly fret if they don't agree

959
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 5: to an extension right away, only because he still has

960
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 5: two years left on his deal. And I think that

961
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, Giannis wants to stay

962
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee, and if they continue to win, that'll solve

963
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 5: any level of uncertainty when it comes to negotiations. But yeah,

964
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 5: they I think the easy and the hard part is

965
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 5: they don't have to reinvent the wheel. It's about finding

966
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 5: good positional players. But I think the larger part is

967
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 5: the things that they have to address from within. It

968
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 5: goes up saying has got to get healthy and other

969
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 5: players have to stay healthy, and then they just have

970
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 5: to improve internally with more consistent habits. But you know, Bernie,

971
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 5: I can't overstate this enough. There is a danger of

972
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 5: them overreacting. Before the first round, I was talking to

973
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 5: some people around the league, you know, different exacts from

974
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 5: other teams and picking their brain on the Eastern Conference landscape,

975
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 5: and they're so bullish on the Bucks but they felt

976
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 5: like they were better than the Celtics because they had

977
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 5: more depth and they had better defensive answers on the

978
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 5: Celtics Stars than the Celtics did on Milwaukee. So the

979
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 5: end of the day, they should keep in mind they

980
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 5: have a good thing rolling. They don't need to blow

981
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 5: it up. But again, when you have an organization that

982
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 5: decide to make a coaching change, you just never know

983
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 5: if that means other changes are going to come no

984
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 5: good all good.

985
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 2: Points Before we get into the playoffs and the Lakers,

986
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 2: I want to get your take on Dylan Brooks. He's

987
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 2: had quite a body of work over the last couple

988
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: of years. Interestingly enough, he was offered an extension beginning

989
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: of these season, turned it down. I'm hearing he's going

990
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: to have a job next year and a couple of

991
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: potential suitors could be the Miami Heat who could use

992
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: one more wing defender, and maybe even the Cleveland Cavaliers.

993
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Dylan Brooks on what happened and what

994
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: might happen next year.

995
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I don't think that Dylan Brooks has any

996
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 5: excuse for his trash talking and not, you know, being

997
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 5: able to back it up. Both with his play and

998
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 5: just facing the music with skipping me responsibilities after every

999
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 5: single loss. But I don't think that his time in

1000
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 5: the league has come to an end. I think that

1001
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 5: his contract offers might not be as lucrative, but I

1002
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 5: think that you know, as long as he's willing to

1003
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 5: commit to pay cuts, they are still going to be

1004
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 5: interested in the league. And I think that he can

1005
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 5: also use what he showed this year as a learning

1006
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 5: experience with knowing that he has a pretty good game overall,

1007
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 5: but he has to be more consistent. He also has

1008
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 5: to tone down the trash talk, because when you poke

1009
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 5: the bear at the wrong people, you get penalized. But

1010
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 5: I we also think that the Grizzlies have mishandled this.

1011
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, why let it get out

1012
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 5: so they have no intention of signing Philip Brooks this summer.

1013
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 5: I mean you could use him as leverage and as

1014
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 5: signing trade. And if you're getting it out there that

1015
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 5: you have no interest in keeping them, well you already

1016
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 5: depressed your possible leverage with negotiating a trade. So that's

1017
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 5: you know, fault number one, fault number two, whether it's

1018
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 5: stilling Brooks or John Moran, Shenanigans off the court. I

1019
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 5: think that this is overall not just a product of

1020
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 5: players being young and being immature, but you know, it's

1021
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 5: been an organization that has enabled this kind of behavior.

1022
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 5: And look, it's easier said than done. They're a small

1023
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 5: market team, is a players only league, but you know,

1024
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 5: by going out of their way of making excuses for

1025
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 5: them or looking the other way until it got to

1026
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 5: that real tipping point when they couldn't, the organization has

1027
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 5: to look at themselves in the mirror and know that,

1028
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 5: you know, they're largely responsible for, you know, being too

1029
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 5: much of an enabler as opposed to hold into accountable, and.

1030
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: They certainly did enable Mark. Is there any way you

1031
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 2: can hang on one more segment? I want to get

1032
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: to the NBA playoffs, the Eastern Conference, and I certainly

1033
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: want to get into this Lakers Warriors matchup with you.

1034
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm here for you.

1047
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 2: Was at the Crypt today, Mark, very nice piece you

1048
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: wrote in the Sporting Trib on Anthony Davis. I thought

1049
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: it was a very objective analysis, and you know how

1050
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 2: I feel about the group Echo Chamber. I didn't feel

1051
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: it was fair to cast Anthony Davis in the light

1052
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: up get you know, one game great, one game not

1053
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 2: so great. He's been sensational in these playoffs. Share the

1054
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 2: folks your positioned on this. I thought your piece in

1055
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: the Sporting Tribe was very good.

1056
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1057
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 5: Well, look when you look at his stats from game

1058
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 5: one to game two, in game three, it's really up

1059
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 5: and down, and he had a really good performance tonight.

1060
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 5: You know, twenty five points, seven and ten from the field,

1061
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 5: he gets eleven and twelve from the free throw line,

1062
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 5: thirteen rebounds, So you do wonder, okay, what's up with

1063
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 5: why it's so erratic? And I think that you know

1064
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 5: AD's explanation that oh I just missed shots, and it's

1065
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 5: the same. It's not so simple as that. And I'm

1066
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,720
Speaker 5: not talking defensively, so offensively, he's been a game changer

1067
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 5: ever since the trade deadline, So that part's fine. But offensively,

1068
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 5: there have been a lot of for circumstances. From game one,

1069
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 5: in game two, in game three, Game one and three,

1070
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 5: Raymond Green has gotten in foul trouble and that's gotten

1071
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 5: him frustrated. That's also made him limited that he can't

1072
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 5: defend Anthony Davis the normal way that he would like to.

1073
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 5: In game two he was able to do that. I

1074
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 5: think the second part is that Anthony Davis may have

1075
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 5: been taken the same shots, you know, at the rims

1076
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 5: from you know, from the free throw line or from

1077
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 5: or not the free throw on but from the from

1078
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 5: the post. But here are a few differences. He didn't

1079
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 5: get trips of the foul line, he wasn't as aggressive.

1080
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 5: He would get frustrated, and so I think that you

1081
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 5: know him saying that it's just him missing shots. I

1082
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 5: think it kind of covers up the idea that you know,

1083
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 5: his mentality goes a long way with determining whether he

1084
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 5: can be dominant or not on the offensive. End.

1085
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the Lakers. I want to

1086
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 2: give credit where credits due. I've been fairly critical about

1087
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 2: them throughout the year. Mark I'm I'm just going to

1088
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 2: make a statement. You can respond to it. I actually

1089
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 2: still think the Warriors are going to prevail for one reason.

1090
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 2: There are four potential games left in this series, and

1091
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 2: there's gonna be one played every other night. And part

1092
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: of the reason I think Anthony Davis is inconsistent has

1093
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 2: been someone inconsistent shots not dropping. I think he's tired.

1094
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 2: I think Lebron is tired, and I think the accumulative

1095
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 2: effect of that over the next seventy eight days is

1096
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 2: going to manifest your thoughts.

1097
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 5: It's a very well, very fair analysis, and a very

1098
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 5: well could happen because they're playing every other day while

1099
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 5: there's not a lot of travel. I mean, they're still

1100
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 5: going to be in the same state, in the same

1101
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 5: time zone. The fact that you have to play every

1102
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 5: other day is hard. Now, I will concede that that

1103
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 5: was a factor from Game one in Game two for

1104
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 5: a d I still don't excuse the night and day

1105
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 5: offensive performance, but I think when you're looking game three

1106
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 5: and four, there is a possibility that won't be as

1107
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 5: much of a factor because Anthony Davis and Lebron James

1108
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 5: were able to basically sit the entire fourth quarter in

1109
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 5: tonight's game because it was a blowout. But I do

1110
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 5: agree that this series is far from over. The Warriors

1111
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 5: have basically seen every single scenario alive with overcoming different

1112
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 5: series throughout their time because they've won, you know, four championships,

1113
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 5: six finals appearances. They've also had experiences where they overcame

1114
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 5: a three to one series deficits Oklahoma City at twenty sixteen.

1115
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 5: They also coughed up at three to one series lead

1116
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 5: to Cleveland the next series in Cleveland. But you know,

1117
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 5: they overcame a two to one serious deficit against Memphis

1118
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 5: in the first round twenty fifteen. They overcame an O

1119
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 5: two deficit against the Sacramento Kings in the first round.

1120
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 5: Here in all these years, different teams, but the comed

1121
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 5: denominator is Steph Curry, Clyde Thomps, and Draymond Green are

1122
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 5: all all in those teams. Steve Kerr is still coaching

1123
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 5: the team, but they still have a lot of collective

1124
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 5: memory and experience to draw from to still get back

1125
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 5: in the series.

1126
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's what's interesting. And you bring up a

1127
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: good point that they got to reprieve it into fourth quarter.

1128
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 2: But I think over the next week we'll Lebron and

1129
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis are going to have to average thirty eight

1130
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 2: to forty minutes a game both for them to continue

1131
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 2: on this pace, we shall see. Why is Denver getting

1132
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 2: no respect? No one talks about them. I think they're

1133
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 2: the best team left in the tournament with the best player.

1134
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: Jokich is playing at a whole different level than Embedia's

1135
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 2: and they played defense in my opinion, and they've got

1136
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 2: very good role players and Jamal Murray right, maybe he

1137
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: could become bubble Jamal Murray again.

1138
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, answer question. It's simple, and I'll be candon with you.

1139
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not a good reflection in our field.

1140
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 5: But they're small markets. They don't have media savvy personalities,

1141
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 5: and Koloki is just someone that doesn't do a lot

1142
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 5: of interviews. They don't you have a lot of drama

1143
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 5: within the team. They don't move the needle as far

1144
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 5: as the general public goes, so I think that's why

1145
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 5: they fall undered the radar. But look, they're rated number

1146
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 5: one for a reason. This idea, I think, most importantly

1147
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 5: from a basketball standpoint, that they haven't proven they can

1148
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 5: win the players off as hogwash. I mean, the last

1149
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 5: time I checked, when they're in the bubble, they were

1150
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 5: the team that overcame two three to one series deficits

1151
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 5: to get to the Western Conference Finals for the first

1152
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 5: time in eleven years. So they've had playoff success since then,

1153
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 5: they haven't for a few reasons. They lost to the

1154
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 5: Phoenix Suns in the second round because Jamal Murray had

1155
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 5: an ACL injury that ended his season and Michael Porter

1156
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 5: Junior was also not fully healthy. You fast forward then,

1157
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 5: since the next year they lost the first round. You

1158
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 5: know who, They lost to the Golden State Warriors. They're

1159
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 5: kind of a good team. They wound up winning the

1160
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 5: NBA Championship last season. But I think the other thing is,

1161
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 5: you know, Jamal Murray was still not back, Michael Porter

1162
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 5: Junior wasn't fully healthy yet. So while Nicole Joku certainly

1163
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 5: could have provided better playoff performance as the reality is

1164
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 5: he didn't have as much help that Draymond Green's a

1165
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 5: great defender. So I think that, you know, it's not

1166
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 5: it shouldn't be surprising that they've been, you know, mostly

1167
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 5: in command against Phoenix. Now, Phoenix did win Game three,

1168
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 5: and they never rule anything out, but it just seems

1169
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 5: like the right on the wall that the fact that

1170
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 5: Chris Paul continues to be out and there's not a

1171
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 5: lot of depth, the Nuggets will not have any problems

1172
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 5: disposing the Suns, and then it's just going to be

1173
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 5: a really competitive series whether they play against the Warriors,

1174
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 5: play against the Lakers. The Lakers or the Warriors would

1175
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 5: have a chance against Denver, but I think it would

1176
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 5: be a seven game series that could literally go either way.

1177
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 5: And same thing as they get to the NBA Finals.

1178
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 2: Now we're in agreement that Denver. I expect Denver to

1179
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 2: win Sunday in Phoenix. I don't think Devin Booker continued

1180
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 2: props to him, but there's something about that Phoenix team

1181
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 2: there cursed. Maybe I don't know, but I think Denver

1182
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 2: advances an irrespective of who advances from the Lakers Warriors series.

1183
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 2: I just can't see them beating Denver. I just like

1184
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 2: the composition of this Denver team. Let's talk about the

1185
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 2: Philadelphia seventy six ers. They're a mercurial bunch. On paper,

1186
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 2: you would think they'd be a lot better, But I

1187
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 2: don't know what you get out of HIMBI and James

1188
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 2: Harden is here. We go playoff James Harden again, paging

1189
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: James Harden. Whether it's Oklahoma City, Houston, Brooklyn, pick your poison.

1190
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 2: He's James Harden. The playoffs. That don't mean to be

1191
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 2: so hard for him. Maybe I do your thoughts on Philadelphia.

1192
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: Can they resurrect and give the Celtics a fight?

1193
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 5: Well, I think you're about fight. I don't think they're

1194
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 5: going to win in the series. And look, with James Harden,

1195
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 5: they're just so confounded because I've had skepticism with him

1196
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 5: for a while and then all of a sudden, he

1197
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 5: drops forty five points in a game one win without

1198
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 5: Joe LMB of all games to do that, and then

1199
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 5: you think, okay, like they have a real chance here.

1200
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 5: But since then, you know, I know that there's always

1201
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 5: an integration process when an injured player comes back, you know,

1202
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 5: even a star player. So I'm not surprised that Joel

1203
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 5: ANDBII has had some struggles, but all of a sudden,

1204
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 5: James Harden lays an egg, and you know, the Celtics,

1205
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 5: I think, you know, finally woke up. One of their

1206
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 5: achilles heels was throughout the regular season they played down

1207
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 5: to what they considered inferior competition. Now that's they realized

1208
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 5: they had to take the sixer seriously. Now you're seeing

1209
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 5: the real version of the Boston Celtics. And it's disappointing

1210
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 5: because I think, to a man to all, Embi deserved

1211
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 5: that MVP award. I would have voted for him if

1212
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 5: I had a vote, And I think that he's really

1213
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 5: put together a really good package of still being the

1214
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 5: best defensive player in the league, being a lot healthier,

1215
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 5: and I think offensively expand his game so that he

1216
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 5: could be a good facilitator to help James Harden and

1217
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 5: James Harden I think has shown flashes of that during

1218
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 5: the regular season of co existed. But the problem is

1219
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 5: he shrinks in the big moments. You just never know

1220
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 5: when his body's going to get the best of them.

1221
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 5: And so while it was nice he had that forty

1222
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 5: five point performance in Game one, the problem with him

1223
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 5: is that he always struggles with consistency during the.

1224
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Postseason five for twenty eight shooting in those two games.

1225
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 2: Terrible output. But don't you have to give Jalen Brown

1226
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 2: some credit. I think he's been very effective guarding James

1227
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 2: Harden bothering him quite a bit.

1228
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, doubt.

1229
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Jalen Brown is one of the

1230
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 5: best two way players in the NBA. I mean a

1231
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 5: lot of focus obviously is on him and as a

1232
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 5: score as well as how he coexists with Jason Tatum,

1233
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 5: and I think that he's shown a lot of growth there.

1234
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 5: But I think that he's also shown the willingness to

1235
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 5: defend and that I can't understand this enough. That takes

1236
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 5: the keybotive hole to have to defend, you know, a

1237
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 5: guy of James Harden's caliber or any star player while

1238
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 5: also scoring. But I think to his credit, he wanted

1239
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 5: to take on that challenge and fission accomplished.

1240
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Mark just got about a minute, So let's talk about

1241
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 2: the other Eastern Conference series. This Miami team is just

1242
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: built for the playoffs. The way they grind, the way

1243
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 2: they defend, box out, rebound. Jimmy Butler is the star

1244
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 2: who emerges if Boston hooks up with Miami to advance

1245
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: to the finals, in your view.

1246
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 5: It's crazy. I mean, I think on paper, I would

1247
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 5: say Boston, and because you know, behind Milwaukee they have

1248
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 5: the best team. But as we've seen with the Bucks,

1249
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 5: you know, on paper doesn't always lead to on court results,

1250
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 5: and so you know, I would think that the Celtics

1251
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 5: would take the heat seriously and not play down to

1252
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 5: their competition. I would think that, you know, they would

1253
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 5: really tap into the scoring that they can post an

1254
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 5: elite level with Jason Tatum, with Jalen Brown, and also

1255
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 5: take advantage of the defenders they have with Brown and

1256
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 5: Marcus varn the perimeter, Robert Williams the third. But you

1257
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 5: know what, I'm feeling very regretful with, you know, kind

1258
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 5: of downplaying Miami's championship prospects. So, you know, if I

1259
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 5: had to think right now, because of how teams are

1260
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 5: playing the playoffs, I would pick Miami. They're playing the

1261
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 5: best playoff basketball in the East. Well, the Nuggets are

1262
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 5: playing the best basketball in the West, so maybe that's

1263
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 5: what we'll see in the West East in the NBA Finals.

1264
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Well, let's sneak one more QUICKI And because I think

1265
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 2: that spull will coach circles around Joel miszoul I thought

1266
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 2: that was so adorable after game two, Hey, what did

1267
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 2: you see the adjustments I made? Don't you all want

1268
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 2: to compliment me? Out there? Hey? Look at me? I

1269
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 2: think I think spoke coaches circles around him.

1270
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 5: It could very well happen. I talked with an executive

1271
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 5: a few weeks ago about how do you rank, you know,

1272
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 5: the most important things in the playoff series. They said

1273
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 5: health than talent, and then you know what was the

1274
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 5: third answer?

1275
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 2: Coaches?

1276
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 5: I can always make a difference because of adjustments and

1277
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 5: how you know, with how close games are, every little

1278
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 5: thing go uh you know significant are small, could make

1279
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 5: a difference in the outcome.

1280
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 2: Mark, thanks so much, outstanding stuff as always, can't believe

1281

Speaker 2: appreciate you.

1285
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 10: Man.

1286
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: It's Mark Medina Medina magic. You hear him every Saturday

1287
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: night here midnight covering it all NBA. There's not a

1288
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: question you don't ask him that he doesn't have a

1289
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 2: very comprehensive viewpoint and answer based on accurate knowledge and

1290
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 2: personal information. He's out there at the arena doing the job.

1291
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Coming up. Speaking of doing a job, boy Dion's doing

1292
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: one of Colorado. I find this story very fascinating. We

1293
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 2: talk about it coming up, but first to go back

1294
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: to Brian Filly with the latest.

1295
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 7: Thank you burn and the Lakers are winners of Game

1296
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 7: three of their second round NBA playoff series out of

1297
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 7: the Western Conference against the Warriors one twenty seven to

1298
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 7: ninety seven. So two of these three games in this

1299
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 7: series have gone by way of a blowout. Game three

1300
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 7: goes to the Lakers, so they have a two games

1301
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 7: to one lead in the series after Golden State was

1302
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 7: able to answer back in Game two in winning blowout fashion.

1303
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 7: As far as Game three, Lebron James did not attempt

1304
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 7: a shot in the first quarter and his team still

1305
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 7: won by thirty points twenty one points, eight rebounds on

1306
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 7: eight assists for the King and his son also on

1307
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 7: SAT committed to USC to play college basketball underhead coach

1308
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 7: Andy Enfield, so staying in Los Angeles. As far as

1309
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 7: what happened on the Eastern Conference side of things, second round,

1310
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 7: playing a game three went the way of the Heat

1311
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 7: in emphatic fashion as they blow torch the Dix one

1312
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 7: to five to eighty six. Jimmy Butler so smooth, carving

1313
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 7: up that New York defense with twenty eight points, ten

1314
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 7: of eleven from the free throw line making his foul shots,

1315
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 7: and Miami jumpshad two games to one in the series.

1316
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 7: NHL Second Round Playoff picture, it's the Oilers winners against

1317
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 7: the Golden Knights five to one. That happened to be

1318
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 7: a Game two, and it was a big first period

1319
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 7: offensively for Edmonton, where they scored four of their five

1320
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 7: goals in that opening period. A series that is at

1321
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 7: one one Major League Baseball games of notable status. The

1322
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 7: Dodgers find a way to get a win against the

1323
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 7: Padres two to one at Petco Park. Chris Taylor hit

1324
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 7: a two run home run, the only source of offense

1325
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 7: needed for Los Angeles. A victory for the job Giants

1326
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 7: four to one against the Brewers. The Phillies suffer a

1327
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 7: sixth straight loss, even though Bryce Harper was able to

1328
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 7: come up with his first home run back from injury

1329
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 7: for the Phills. It was a seven to four win

1330
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 7: for the Red Sox in Philadelphia. The Braves hang on

1331
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 7: five to four against the Orioles thanks to an eighth

1332
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 7: inning two run pinch hit home run from Kevin polar

1333
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 7: So five to four Braves over the Orioles. Royals fall

1334
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 7: short against the Athletics five to four in a battle

1335
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 7: of teams that both have under ten wins on the year.

1336
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 7: And lastly, Bernie, the Blue Jays take care of business

1337
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 7: on the road eight to two against the Pirates, and

1338
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 7: just like the Phillies, another team in Pennsylvania has lost

1339
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 7: six straight Pittsburgh and for some reason, Bernie, knowing it's

1340
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh and the Pirates and how much they've struggled, it

1341
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 7: doesn't seem to be that much of a surprise.

1342
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you, Brian So. Dion Sanders obviously made

1343
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 2: major news when he left Jackson State to go to Colorado.

1344
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 2: I am very excited to see how this plays out.

1345
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: I have always been a big Dion fan and I

1346
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 2: respect him and he's one of my favorite people. Will

1347
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 2: just listen to I think he is a walking success

1348
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 2: story and we will see what he does at Colorado.

1349
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is the methodology he is using is

1350
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 2: drawn a lot of spotlight it's become a lightning rod.

1351
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 2: Colorado has had seventy one players enter the transfer portal

1352
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: since last August. There's nothing that you know that's not

1353
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 2: against the rules. Dion caused a stir when he walked in,

1354
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 2: you know, and said in December he encouraged players. Hey

1355
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 2: hop in that portal and he looked around the room

1356
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 2: and he says, well, this is a one and eleven team,

1357
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 2: and this must be a one and eleven roster. So

1358
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 2: he was very upfront, he was very candid, said, I'm

1359
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: going to bring a lot of transfers in to reshape

1360
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 2: this roster. This isn't the first time this has happened.

1361
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 2: When Vince Lombardi was hired by Curly Lambeau to turn

1362
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 2: around the Green Bay Packers, after a couple of workouts,

1363
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 2: he went in and sat with the ownership and they said,

1364
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 2: what's wrong with my team? He said, I'll tell you

1365
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 2: what's wrong with your team. He got fifty guys in

1366
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 2: a roster, forty five can't play football. He remade the

1367
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 2: roster in Green Bay won multiple championships. Now, some of

1368
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,440
Speaker 2: the players from the twenty twenty two roster were pushed out.

1369
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 2: Some you know, then they re entered the transfer portal

1370
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: in April, and I think, look, we don't know how

1371
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 2: this is going to play out right now. There's a

1372
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,480
Speaker 2: lot of speculation, but the AD is behind Dion Sanders.

1373
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 2: He believes he's doing what's best for the program. But

1374
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: what I find interesting is that you know the transfer

1375
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 2: portal in the NIL when it these are like common terms.

1376
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 2: Now no one knew what they were years ago because

1377
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 2: it didn't really exist, But now they're common terms. And

1378
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 2: I think this is now going to become a case

1379
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,919
Speaker 2: study in terms of if a coach navigates the transfer

1380
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 2: portal and he takes a look at his roster and said,

1381
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 2: this is all going to be about roster management. How

1382
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 2: do we do this? And because of what's happening at

1383
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 2: Colorado is so drastic, and the roster makeover is so

1384
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 2: drastic compared to what this roster looked like last year.

1385
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 2: Names going out, names coming in, You're gonna legitimately need

1386
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 2: a program to know what the hell's going on. The

1387
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: only way to really explain this is to put it

1388
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 2: in a little bit of perspective. Right, the seventy one

1389
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 2: players that have entered the portal that are leaving Colorado

1390
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: State are twenty one more than the next program, Arkansas State.

1391
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 2: They actually had fifty players into the portal, but no

1392
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 2: one's really talking about them. Old miss had forty eight

1393
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 2: players who've left the program. Tennessee's had in the forties,

1394
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,759
Speaker 2: Oregon and South Florida's had the forties. So in fairness

1395
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 2: to Sanders, it's not just him doing this. He's just

1396
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 2: doing it the most and I think he has a

1397
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 2: real firm grip on how do you use this? He's

1398
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 2: not breaking any rules, right. The portal has increased in

1399
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 2: popularity since its inception. I mean, look back in twenty

1400
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 2: nineteen when this first started, I think there were a

1401
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 2: total of four thousand players that entered the portal. And

1402
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 2: then again this goes back what four or five years.

1403
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 2: For four years, let's say, and there are over three

1404
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 2: hundred I believe there are three hundred and twenty three

1405
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight D one college programs. Well, that

1406
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 2: number has now doubled. There's almost nine thousand players through

1407
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 2: May first that have entered the portal. So you look

1408
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 2: at the growth of this and what's happening. Even USC

1409
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 2: had twenty nine players entered the portal by the time

1410
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley got there, and when he was hired and

1411
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 2: moved on and got his new staff, Brian Kelly at

1412
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 2: LSU had twenty five players transfer, So none of this

1413
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 2: is new. But even if you add up LSU and

1414
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 2: usc at numbers at fifty four, look, Colorado's at seventy one.

1415
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 2: And some of these guys deserve a little a little

1416
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,759
Speaker 2: rep because not every player has been a scholarship player.

1417
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 2: But there actually have been a few notable players, a

1418
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:11,719
Speaker 2: few Colorado fans that left their leading receiver Jordan Tyson

1419
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 2: was only a sophomore. He had, you know, five hundred

1420
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 2: yards receiving last year. And they're secondly the receiver Montana

1421
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 2: got to pronounce his name right, Montana Lamonious Craig. Those

1422
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 2: two were top receivers, right. Your quarterbacks started nine games

1423
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 2: last year through twelve hundred yards j T. Shroud, he's

1424
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 2: leaving the team. You say to yourself, Okay, well they

1425
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 2: were one and eleven, but still you never know, some

1426
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 2: of those guys might have been more productive under the

1427
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. Four other players transferred to Colorado during

1428
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 2: the winter. Here's what's also interesting. You've already had players

1429
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: transfer in that are transferred back out. That's what makes

1430
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 2: his story so crazy. Right by the way, Colorado had

1431
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 2: two starting linemen, Jake Wiley Casey Roddick. These are guys.

1432
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 2: I mean, Jake Wiley had over seven hundred snaps at

1433
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 2: right tackle last year. Casey Roddick only allowed one sack

1434
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 2: in over four hundred pass blocking plays. They had a

1435
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 2: defensive back leave. They're running back Victor Venn. He was

1436
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,480
Speaker 2: a three start recruiting just in the twenty twenty two class.

1437
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:18,919
Speaker 2: So you know who's transferring out. The real question is, okay,

1438
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 2: who's transferring in? Because let's see, you've heard me say

1439
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 2: it a thousand times, the future always has a way

1440
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 2: of arriving ahead of schedule. Colorado opens up at TCU. Yeah,

1441
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 2: that TCU, and we're already almost into mid May. College

1442
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 2: football starts in late August, so we're a little over

1443
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 2: ninety days away and Colorado will play a game. The

1444
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 2: biggest names coming in, of course, five star athlete Travis Hunter.

1445
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 2: He actually signed with Dion Sanders and played at Jackson

1446
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 2: State out of high school after decommitting from Florida State.

1447
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 2: Hunter he was a true freshman. He played on offense

1448
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 2: and defense. He's an NFL draft choice, so Dion brings

1449
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 2: him along. He also brought us on Dion Shadoor Sanders.

1450
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: He brought him in to play quarterback. Clearly, Shaudor had

1451
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 2: a lot of success at Jackson State. He won the

1452
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 2: Jerry Rice Award, that's basically the top FCS freshman, and

1453
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 2: he threw for seventy touchdowns at almost seven thousand yards

1454
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 2: in two season. Will that translate to the Pac twelve?

1455
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 2: Will that translate to a next level up of football?

1456
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 2: Auburn had a receiver, Tavarus Dawson. He originally committed Cincinnati,

1457
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,520
Speaker 2: but flipped to Colorado once he was given the opportunity

1458
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 2: to play for Didon Sanders. So you're gonna hear these names.

1459
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 2: These names if Colorado wins, will become more household names again.

1460
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 2: The Buffs mark your calendar. They're at TCU on September second,

1461
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: and who knows how many players will come in or

1462
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: lead between now and then. And college football teams are

1463
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: alloted eighty five scholarships. I think I think Colorado still

1464
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 2: has scholarships to give, so we'll see what happens. I

1465
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 2: am loving this story. I don't know if it's gonna work.

1466
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: Colorado's win total this year year is four and a half.

1467
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 2: If you want to bet the under, it's minus one

1468
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 2: forty two to one hundred. You want to bet you

1469
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 2: over if you think they're gonna win that fifth game,

1470
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars brings you back one hundred and sixteen.

1471
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 2: Any way you like it, anyway you slice it. You

1472
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 2: gotta love coach Prime trying to bring Colorado back to

1473
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 2: the glory days of Bill McCartney and Eric p Enemy

1474
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: and company. When they've beat Notre Dame in the National Championship.

1475
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, it's already been thirty two years.

1476
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 2: It'd be great for the Pac twelve to see a

1477
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 2: good Colorado team coming up. How great is Shoho Tani?

1478
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 2: When it gave you some numbers through thus this you

1479
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 2: know this far of the year. That's terrible English, that's

1480
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 2: clunky English. Let me try that again. How great is

1481
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 2: show Heyo Tani? Let's share some numbers in terms of

1482
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: what he's accomplished so far as we get into May,

1483
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're come to your live from the

Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the

1487
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Come to your line. I have from

1488
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 2: the tirerac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas, Fox

1489
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. We'll take you up to three am Pacific

1490
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 2: tonight six am Eastern. A lot of stuff to get to.

1491
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 2: Top of the hour I'm going to give you. It's

1492
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 2: my turn to give you the winners and losers of

1493
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft. And I know there are some people

1494
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 2: that think that's an anethma. How can you grade a

1495
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 2: draft when they haven't even played a game? It's real simple.

1496
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 2: When you cover the Lions as long as I did,

1497
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:32,480
Speaker 2: and you need offensive line help, defensive line help, defensive backs, linebackers,

1498
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 2: and Matt Millan draft receivers. Every year you give that,

1499
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 2: you give that draft an f If you need, you know,

1500
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 2: ice water in the desert, somebody hands you battery acid. Yeah,

1501
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: that's an f Okay. So there are ways two grade

1502
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 2: drafts when you juxtapose what the team's needs were and

1503
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 2: who they draft and when they draft them and how

1504
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 2: quickly they can make an impact. Speaking of impact, how

1505
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 2: great is Shohel Tani? Just this last week, Shoeyo Tani

1506
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 2: joined Babe Ruth is the only players in Major League

1507
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 2: Baseball history to have hit at least one hundred home

1508
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 2: runs and struck out at least five hundred batters. Otani

1509
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 2: is so prolific he leaves you speechless. Now, Tuesday, Shohani pitched.

1510
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 2: Joey Otani pitched, and he had I say this in

1511
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,680
Speaker 2: air quotes and off game. See, he was attempting to

1512
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 2: be the first pitcher ever to give up three hits

1513
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:30,680
Speaker 2: or less for eleven straight starts. That means for the

1514
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 2: ten starts prior to that, Otani had only given up

1515
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 2: three hits or less. Well, he failed. He had a

1516
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,640
Speaker 2: rough night. In fact, he pitched five innings. He was

1517
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 2: removed due to a high pitch count because he allowed

1518
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 2: four runs, the most in his last twenty starts. But

1519
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 2: here's the big butt peewee. Otani did manage to strike

1520
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 2: out thirteen batters. Now you heard me. He only pitched

1521
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 2: five innings. When you have five innings, there are a

1522
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 2: total of fifteen outs, and of those fifteen outs, thirteen

1523
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 2: were strikeouts. Now you know who never struck out thirteen

1524
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,600
Speaker 2: batters in the first five innings in a game in

1525
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 2: their career. Let mean, let tell me if you've heard

1526
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 2: of these guys, Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Sandy Kofax,

1527
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 2: Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, Bob Feller, even Cyung himself. In fact,

1528
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 2: no pitcher that's in the Hall of Fame ever struck

1529
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 2: out thirteen batters in their first five innings. And that's

1530
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 2: exactly what JOEO Tony did on Tuesday night. Now, if

1531
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 2: anybody would have done it, I doubt you'd call it

1532
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: a bad game. But someone actually called this a bad game.

1533
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:47,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. This is a once in a century

1534
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,759
Speaker 2: type guy. We're talking to. Michael Jordan. You seen bolt

1535
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 2: tiger woods that are just so far above by the way,

1536
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, O Tommy also bats on Tuesday night, striking

1537
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 2: out thirteen batters in five innings. Well, Tommy also went

1538
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 2: three for five on Tuesday night. He's not hitting three

1539
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 2: oh seven, he's got a nine eighteen ops. He's four

1540
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: and zero on the mound. He leads the major leagues

1541
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 2: with fifty nine strikeouts. And somehow I just get this

1542
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 2: feeling that some people consider showya Tommy underappreciated, possibly even underrated.

1543
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 2: Who do you compare this guy to that you can

1544
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 2: relate to Bo Jackson? I remember I saw bo Jackson

1545
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: play for the Kansas City Royals, so I'll play for

1546
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 2: the LA Raiders. He played for the Raiders when they

1547
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 2: are in LA in nineteen eighty nine. Now this is

1548
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game. Bo Jackson started third pitch

1549
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 2: of the game, I think off of Rick Raschel hit

1550
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 2: a ball about nine hundred feet. They showed two movies

1551
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 2: on that flight to start the All Star Game. So

1552
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty nine, Bull rushed for nine hundred and

1553
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 2: fifty yards for the Raiders, averaged almost six yards of carry,

1554
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 2: and then in his off time as Hobby he had

1555
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: thirty two home runs, drove in one hundred and five runs.

1556
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 2: This was an same counter year, played in the All

1557
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Star Game, played in the Pro Bowl, played for the Raiders,

1558
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 2: played for the Chiefs. Didn't just play, he dominated. We'll

1559
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 2: never know the greatness that would have been had he

1560
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 2: not heard his hip agains Cincinnati in that playoff game.

1561
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 2: Like Otani, everybody said he was great, but nobody realized

1562
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 2: just how great he was when it was happening. Why

1563
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 2: am I bringing this up? History is repeating itself another

1564
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 2: freak of athletic excellence. You better enjoyed while the last

1565
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 2: because it's a once in a generation deal. And I

1566
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 2: don't think I'm being hyperbolic here coming up. NFL teams

1567
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 2: are hyperbolic about their draft. They're always happy. Who were

1568
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 2: the winners and losers? I'll tell you keep it locked

1569

Speaker 2: right here. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on

1577
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 2: the week, I've heard some pretty good analysis on NFL drafts, winners, losers, thoughts, opinions. Tonight,

1578
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 2: it's my turn, and this is what we do. The

1579
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 2: NFL has a way of staying front and center in

1580
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 2: the news. Twenty four to seven. We really can't get

1581
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 2: enough of it. OTAs will be around the corner of

1582
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 2: the training camp before you notice July and the Hall

1583
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 2: of Fame game, and you know you draft every year,

1584
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 2: Hope springs eternal. Most teams come out of the draft

1585
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 2: and they all say they like their draft. But you

1586
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 2: heard my commentary a couple weeks ago about the dangers

1587
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 2: of drafting a quarterback in the first round. Right, Since

1588
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven, there a been one hundred and twenty

1589
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:50,799
Speaker 2: nine quarterbacks drafted in the first round. Guess what six

1590
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 2: six made the Super Bowl? Won a Super Bowl? Excuse

1591
01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 2: me with the team that drafted them. So it's a

1592
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 2: bit of a crapshoot, all right. Now, you say, well, hey,

1593
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurt, Well, he was drafted in the second round. Okay,

1594
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 2: by the way, he didn't win a Super Bowl. All right,

1595
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 2: but let's stay with the Philadelphia Eagles because I can't

1596
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 2: say enough good things about Howie Roseman. We told his

1597
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 2: story a couple months ago about how he wrote over

1598
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 2: fourteen hundred letters to NFL team saying, I want to

1599
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 2: be an NFL GM someday. I've never been on a

1600
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 2: football field, I've never played football. I've never even been

1601
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 2: a water boy, never even set foot between the sidelines.

1602
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 2: But someday I'm going to be a gem in the

1603
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 2: NFL and I'll be a great one. Okay, Yeah, that

1604
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 2: happened one day. You know, Mike tannerbomb On, he was

1605
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 2: with the Jets, goes, I gotta meet this guy. He

1606
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 2: may be crazy, you're the most persistent guy in the world.

1607
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 2: But he was impressed with him. Recommended him to Joe Banner.

1608
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:53,440
Speaker 2: He got a tan checked that Howard Roseman got an

1609
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 2: internship with the Eagles, and the rest of his history right.

1610
01:21:56,360 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 2: So anyway, the Eagles, it appear that they're utilizing this

1611
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 2: new revolutionary draft technique where you just simply stockpile from

1612
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 2: the best team in you know, college football, just keep

1613
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 2: stockpiling talent. And I know some people have joked and

1614
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 2: called the Philly Bulldogs, but it continued even in the

1615
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 2: day three because Philly drafted a quarnerback name Kelly Ringo

1616
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 2: in the fourth round. It picked number one oh five,

1617
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 2: and then they traded for DeAndre Swift. You know with

1618
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 2: Detroit and war did DeAndre Swift play college football Georgia.

1619
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 2: But the two picks that really got noticed were when

1620
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 2: they picked Philly picked defensive tackle Jalen Carter at number

1621
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 2: nine overall. Then Nolan Smith with thirty. Come on, man,

1622
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 2: that's a bargain. So all of a sudden, you've got

1623
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 2: five Phillies, got five impact players from a defense that

1624
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 2: led Georgia to back to back national championships in the

1625
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 2: last two seasons. Then they add DeAndre Swift, who was

1626
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 2: a legend in high school in Philadelphia, to pair with

1627
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. Oh yeah, not for nothing. Philadelphia also added

1628
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 2: a tackle from Alabama named Tyler Sheen. He'll help protect

1629
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts and you know he'll leave it out all

1630
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 2: those Georgia guys in the locker room. But all SEC

1631
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 2: jokes aside. The bottom line is the rich got richer.

1632
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 2: Philadelphia was in the Super Bowl. I thought they would

1633
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. They didn't, But tell me they

1634
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 2: haven't set themselves up nicely to give themselves a great

1635
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 2: chance to get back to the Super Bowl. I'm not

1636
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:33,719
Speaker 2: sure who's gonna top them in the NFC A plus plus,

1637
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 2: Philadelphia's draft was unreal. Staying in the same state, I

1638
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 2: thought that Pittsburgh Steelers had an excellent draft. Now, remember

1639
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 2: the Steelers missed the playoffs. They had a nine to

1640
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 2: eight record last year and Kenny Picktts rookie season and

1641
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. I think what he did was take a

1642
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 2: look at the foundation of the team and decide what

1643
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 2: can we do to improve to get us over the hump.

1644
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 2: What they do They drafted Georgia bulldog as well, Broderick Jones.

1645
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 2: They got up at number fourteen, first round. He's a

1646
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 2: value pick, He's a good protector. They get another Wisconsin

1647
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 2: defensive tackle named Venton. He's got this sort of interior

1648
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: defender mentality that likes to kill the quarterback. And again

1649
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 2: another Georgia player, her tight end Darnell Washington. Somehow the

1650
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 2: Steelers managed to grab him in the third round, and

1651
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 2: I think you'll see him in double tight in sets

1652
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 2: with Pat Fryarmouth. These are players that step on the

1653
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 2: field and make an impact right away. By the way,

1654
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 2: and what continued, you know, in what was like the

1655
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,799
Speaker 2: best worst kept secret around. The Steelers also drafted Joey

1656
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,639
Speaker 2: Porter junior if you remember that name. Of course, Joey

1657
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 2: Porter Junior went to Penn State. He's the son of

1658
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 2: former Steelers great linebacker Joey Porter. And while they're at it,

1659
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 2: they got another good linebacker at Wisconsin named Nate her Big.

1660
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 2: He's a brother. His brother is Nick Herbig, who was

1661
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 2: also drafted. Now, look, Pittsburgh's gonna load a division. He

1662
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 2: got Cincinnati, they got Baltimore, he got Cleveland. But this

1663
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 2: was a no nonsense draft by Mike Tomlin. He got

1664
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 2: himself some football players, man football players who are going

1665
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 2: to step in. And the one thing you appreciate and

1666
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 2: really respect about Mike Tomlin and that Steelers culture. You know,

1667
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 2: they've had three head coaches since what nineteen sixty eight,

1668
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 2: Chuck Nole and Bill Kauer, now Mike Tomlin. And if

1669
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:41,799
Speaker 2: you look at how Antonio Brown has been since leaving Pittsburgh,

1670
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 2: you have to tip your cap to that culture. And

1671
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin even further in the production they got out

1672
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 2: of him while he was wearing a Steelers uniform. Another

1673
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 2: team that I think got richer, And this is a

1674
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,839
Speaker 2: team that's going to be a pest in the AFC

1675
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 2: for years, same division as Pittsburgh. Cincinnati Bengals. Remember they

1676
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 2: made it to Super Bowl fifty six and twenty twenty one,

1677
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: and then they follow that up getting in the AFC

1678
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 2: Championship Game this past season. They have a Director of

1679
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: Player Personnel, Guy by the name of Duke Tobin, and

1680
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,879
Speaker 2: he put together a great draft because he specifically addressed

1681
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 2: team needs and he gave his star Joe Burrow more

1682
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 2: to work with. Right defensively, they got better overnight. They

1683
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:32,759
Speaker 2: pick up Miles Miles Murphy, who you know just lived

1684
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,799
Speaker 2: in backfields in college. While he was playing for Clemson.

1685
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,520
Speaker 2: He had double digit tackles for loss in three consecutive

1686
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 2: season while playing in the ACC. This was a value

1687
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 2: first round pick. By the way. The Bengals, also, staying

1688
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 2: with defense, they strengthened their secondary with Michigan cornerback DJ Turner.

1689
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 2: This is not a misprint. DJ Turner ran a four

1690
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 2: point two six forty at the NFL Combine. And just

1691
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 2: to top it off, on day two they get Alabama.

1692
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 2: Cincinnati gets Alabama safety Jordan Battle. Jordan Battle, DJ Turner,

1693
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 2: Miles Murphy. Not bad work. Those are three defensive players

1694
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 2: that will get on the field this year and help Cincinnati.

1695
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 2: Then on Day three they go back to the Big

1696
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 2: Ten get a couple of underrated stars that were in

1697
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 2: the Big Ten. Purdue had a receiver named Charlie Jones.

1698
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 2: Jones caught one hundred and ten balls fifteen hundred yards.

1699
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 2: He's that he's not that game breaker. But you know

1700
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 2: who Charlie Jones is. He's the guy when it's third

1701
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:37,879
Speaker 2: and seven, he makes the catch and moves the chains.

1702
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 2: That's huge. Third donards the money down in football, they

1703
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: don't pay it a punt. They also get running back

1704
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 2: Chase Brown from Illinois. And if you saw Chase Brown,

1705
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 2: he checks all the boxes. He'll make you miss. He'll

1706
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 2: get you the hard yard between the tackles. No one

1707
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,640
Speaker 2: catches them from behind. And so what this does, This

1708
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 2: addressesn't need a running back. This addresses at need a

1709
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 2: wide receiver. And the other thing about Chase Brown, he's

1710
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 2: a tough runner average over five and a half yards

1711
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 2: per carry. And what's interesting, even in the sixth round, Now,

1712
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 2: this is a name you may have probably not heard of.

1713
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 2: He's a receiver out of Princeton named andre Iosavus. He's

1714
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 2: a track star from Princeton. You see him on tape.

1715
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 2: They show him running a couple of fade routes, catching

1716
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 2: the ball, turn in the corner. He's going to play

1717
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 2: in the league. Very shrewd draft from Duke Tobin and

1718
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. Who else we the winners. Well, I

1719
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 2: think instead of saying a team, let's called the AFC

1720
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 2: South Quarterbacks, because the AFC South quarterbacks are going to

1721
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,799
Speaker 2: be vastly different in twenty twenty three with good reason.

1722
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 2: First of all, the Houston Texans. They take C. J.

1723
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 2: Stroud with the number two pick. That gives the Houston

1724
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 2: Texans a bona fide franchise quarterback, No two ways about it.

1725
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,760
Speaker 2: C Strout there's a beautiful ball. He throws an accurate ball.

1726
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: He can make every throw in the field. You have

1727
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 2: to like his care, you have to like his makeup,

1728
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 2: his demeanor, his work ethic, he checks every box right.

1729
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 2: He gives the Texans a bona fide franchise quarterback, especially

1730
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 2: when you consider the last two years, whoever lined up

1731
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,679
Speaker 2: a quarterback for the Texans, they average a wopping twenty

1732
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 2: tds and seventeen interceptions. I think CJ. Stroud gets on

1733
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 2: the field right away and earns his stripes Indianapolis. Now

1734
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 2: they took Florida's Anthony Richardson with a number four pick,

1735
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 2: and I don't know how much he's gonna play this year.

1736
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 2: He only had thirteen starts in college, only completed fifty

1737
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,759
Speaker 2: three percent of his passes. But he's perhaps the most

1738
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,719
Speaker 2: explosive athlete in the history of quarterback in college football

1739
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 2: with his vertical league and his jump, and I like him.

1740
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: He's likable. I thought his film session with Steve Mariucci

1741
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 2: was really funny, and he proved he knows what he's doing.

1742
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 2: He just needs experience. Again, this is a crapshoot when

1743
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 2: you draft quarterbacks, so you don't really know what's going on.

1744
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 2: But I mean in terms of how they're gonna pan out,

1745
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 2: and since Andrew Luck retired, the Colts have not exactly

1746
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 2: had good luck with quarterbacks. You know, he had Jaco,

1747
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 2: Toby Brissette, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan. I think

1748
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be a little bit of time before

1749
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 2: Richardson gets on the field. But when he gets on

1750
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 2: the field, he's going to have a couple of years

1751
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 2: to prove he can do this. I believe. Finally, in

1752
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 2: the same division Tennessee, they grab Will Levis in the

1753
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 2: second round, and I think there'll be a battle that

1754
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 2: you know, he'll battle Ryan Tannehill for the job. And

1755
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 2: Tannehill's in the last year of his contract, and you

1756
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,759
Speaker 2: know they still got Malik Willis on the roster number

1757
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 2: he was drafted in the third round, but he was

1758
01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 2: just drafted last year. It sounds sounds to me like

1759
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 2: they may already be passing on Malik Willis. But quarterbacks

1760
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:39,759
Speaker 2: THEFC South are going to look a whole lot different

1761
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: this year. CJ. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, will Levis, and uh,

1762
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 2: of course they're going to have to measure up against

1763
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 2: that guy in Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence, who really came into

1764
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 2: his own this last year. Finally, two more winners. I

1765
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 2: believe Stetson Bennett and Hended Hooker. Okay, Hooker and Bennett

1766
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 2: squared off and a number one versus number two showdown

1767
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 2: back in November. If you recall now, given their landing spots,

1768
01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 2: it's entirely possible someday. I don't think you're gonna see

1769
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 2: Hendon Hooker on the field with the Lions this year.

1770
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 2: Remember he's coming off of tour in ACL. Stetson Bennett

1771
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 2: is a guy to keep your eye on him. All

1772
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 2: he does is win. There's something about the guy, and

1773
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 2: he's sneaky athletic and he produced results at the highest

1774
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 2: level back to back years in college Lions didn't get

1775
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 2: hooked until the third round, and he'll have to. You know,

1776
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a watch and learn year for him.

1777
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 2: I think Jared Goff is a lot better than people

1778
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 2: give credit for, and you watch it. He's gonna have

1779
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 2: another good year. I believe that Hooker turns twenty six

1780
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 2: next season, and he's when he does get on the field,

1781
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 2: he's gonna be surrounded by up and coming talent Detroit.

1782
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 2: The age would never bother me. Okay, so what twenty six.

1783
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 2: We're not talking about sixty six. We're talking about twenty six,

1784
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 2: and he still has time to have an eight to

1785
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,519
Speaker 2: ten year NFL career if he finds his way on

1786
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 2: the field. Now, what's interesting is Stetsan Bennett ended up

1787
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 2: with the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round. Now

1788
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: he'll learn from matched a long time veteran Bennett. I

1789
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,919
Speaker 2: think they'll fits well in Sean mcvay's offense because McVeigh

1790
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 2: likes to run multiple tight end looks. He's got experience

1791
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 2: in that that's gonna pay off. Be interesting to see

1792
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 2: if Matt Stafford, for any reason, finds his way off

1793
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 2: the field this year. He's coming off multiple injuries, says

1794
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:22,720
Speaker 2: he's healthy. Could Stetson Bennette to field this year? I

1795
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:24,679
Speaker 2: bet he'll take at least one or a couple snaps.

1796
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 2: Just keep an eye on him. He's one of those

1797
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:30,160
Speaker 2: guys that all he does is produce when he gets

1798
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 2: the chance, and he's been dotted his whole life. He's

1799
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 2: got that chip like a lot of quarterbacks, but he's

1800
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 2: kind of got it in a nice way. He doesn't

1801
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 2: obsess over it. Coming up losers might be a harsh term,

1802
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: but I would just say this, when I look at

1803
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 2: these teams drafts, which I'll share with in a minute,

1804
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 2: I look at it with a bit of a jaundicey.

1805
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 2: I want to remind you that the Discover card at

1806

Speaker 2: I'm calling you out, and I'll remember the forty nine

1821
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 2: ers first round pick in twenty twenty three belonged to

1822
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 2: Miami as a result of that infamous draft, a trade

1823
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 2: that landed Trey Lance back in twenty twenty one. And

1824
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 2: lest you forget, the Dolphins already traded their twenty three

1825
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:56,600
Speaker 2: pick last year to get Bradley Chubb. They traded the

1826
01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 2: twenty two first round pick to the Chiefs and got

1827
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,919
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill. And they traded the twenty one pick Miami

1828
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 2: did to trade up for Jalen Waddle. Now, would you

1829
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 2: rather have Jayleen Wattle, Tyreek Kill and Bradley Chubb? OR'd

1830
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 2: you rather have Tree Lance? I tried to warn folks,

1831
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 2: I got nothing against Tree Lance. They kept showing that

1832
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:16,479
Speaker 2: same North Dakota highlight the say three plays two of

1833
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:19,519
Speaker 2: a running plays. Now he may make a fool out

1834
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:21,559
Speaker 2: of me and come back and be Joe Montana. You

1835
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 2: know my motto, don't tell me, show me. I thought

1836
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,679
Speaker 2: it was a major mistake not drafting Mac Jones. Let's

1837
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 2: let this play out over the next three to five years.

1838
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 2: You'll see I'm right now. San Francisco did have three

1839
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,960
Speaker 2: second or check that they have three third round picks

1840
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 2: on Day two, and they managed to use one of

1841
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:42,680
Speaker 2: them on Michigan kicker Jake Moody. Now I get it.

1842
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 2: Jake Moody is not only an All American talent and

1843
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty one girl as an award winner. By

1844
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 2: the way, I went to north Ville High School, Northfrild,

1845
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 2: Michigan crosstown rival from Nova High School where my kids went,

1846
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 2: and he s a hell of a kicker. But does

1847
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 2: the value match the pick? By the way, John Lynch,

1848
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 2: and listen, give the Niners credit. They're an NFC championship

1849
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:12,680
Speaker 2: caliber team every single year. But this draft, this was

1850
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:16,599
Speaker 2: the bill coming due the cost of landing Trey Lance

1851
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:19,679
Speaker 2: two years ago. How long do they get any value

1852
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 2: out of him? Yeah, don't hold your breath, sorry, and

1853
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 2: go back and listen to my shows in twenty twenty one.

1854
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 2: You heard my rants. I wish him no will Will.

1855
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 2: I don't think he can play well. If you watch

1856
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 2: those first couple of games this year in San Francisco,

1857
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 2: they were running you know, the t wing Offerense from

1858
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 2: nineteen oh six. They've let them do very little, So

1859
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 2: let's let it play out. The Niners, I cannot say

1860
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:45,799
Speaker 2: you had a good draft. Maybe I shouldn't call you losers.

1861
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,600
Speaker 2: We call this winners and losers. Maybe losers is a

1862
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 2: little bit of harsh. You know, Rubiage here they didn't

1863
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 2: get a safety from Penn State j R. Brown. That

1864
01:35:55,680 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 2: was a value pick. But Day three very quiet, and again, Niners,

1865
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 2: everybody else is getting better. So you can't. You can't,

1866
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 2: you know, stand on your laurels.

1867
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 10: Now.

1868
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 2: The Washington Commanders, the Dan era, the Dan Snyder era

1869
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 2: is now I think behind us. But uh, this is

1870
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 2: a French this is a franchise in transition, and they

1871
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 2: I would say, there were still a lot of question marks.

1872
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 2: Apparently the Commanders are shopping Chase Young. That's stud defensive

1873
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 2: end out of Ohio State, the number two pick in

1874
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty draft. He had zero sacks last year.

1875
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 2: He was dealing with a bunch of injuries. So what

1876
01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 2: about the draft. Washington didn't get a didn't get a

1877
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:40,799
Speaker 2: couple of guys in their secondary. They got Emmanuel Forbes

1878
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,639
Speaker 2: from Mississippi State. They got a safety from Illinois, Javarius Martin,

1879
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 2: and they had an edge rusher kJ Martin, probably their

1880
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 2: best pick in the third round, and maybe a sleeper.

1881
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 2: They got a running back Chris Rodriguez Junior from Kentucky.

1882
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:58,680
Speaker 2: But here's the deal, Washington, this was a This was

1883
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 2: a draft full of stud tight ends. Washington could have

1884
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 2: maybe drafted one of those talented tight ends to help

1885
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:11,680
Speaker 2: out Sam Hall. And they didn't. They didn't. And when

1886
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 2: you consider that, Ron Rivera is twenty two and twenty

1887
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 2: seven the last three seasons. It did the Commanders helped

1888
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 2: themselves in the way like I said, the Eagles did,

1889
01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 2: and the way the Bengals did, and the way the

1890
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 2: Lions did. I don't know, Man, this new ownership coming in,

1891
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how enthusiastic they're gonna be about Washington's draft.

1892
01:37:35,360 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 2: Now I'm actually gonna call out the New York Jets

1893
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,679
Speaker 2: a little bit. I realized, Aaron Rodgers, these windows open

1894
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 2: for the next couple of years. This is the perfect

1895
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:45,640
Speaker 2: opportunity that, you know, take a few big swings, you

1896
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 2: don't know if they're gonna work. In the first round,

1897
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:50,759
Speaker 2: the Jets they went with an edge rusher from Iowa

1898
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 2: State named Will McDonald, and then two picks after the

1899
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 2: Packers they took another edge rusher, Lucas Fanas. He's a

1900
01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 2: good player right now. The Jets passed on any opportunity though,

1901
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 2: to add a receiver like Jackson Smith and Jigba. You've

1902
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 2: already got Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis, Nisan, Randall Cobb.

1903
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 2: But the Jets defense is actually really good as long

1904
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 2: as they stay healthy. CJ. Moseley, Quinn Williams, Sauce Gardner.

1905
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 2: You put Aaron Rodgers and that defense together, that's a

1906
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:24,280
Speaker 2: winning combination. And the Jets did upgrade their offensive line.

1907
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 2: They got a guy from Wisconsin, they got a guy

1908
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 2: from pitt But the Jets and Packers, they're going to

1909
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 2: be linked. They're gonna be joined at the hip regarding

1910
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 2: this trade for the next few years, because the truth

1911
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:40,120
Speaker 2: of the matter is they're either gonna win in New

1912
01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 2: York or or not. And they got a very good

1913
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 2: chance to do so. But this trade, this draft, this

1914
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 2: era in Jets history, will be completely defined as to

1915
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 2: how much can Aaron Rodgers elevate a very talented young

1916
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 2: roster that should make the postseason? And the draft is

1917
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:02,680
Speaker 2: this is there mark, This is the Jets and how

1918
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 2: they're going to be defined here in the near ternam

1919
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,880
Speaker 2: and in the future. Right, all right, a couple of

1920
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who may be looking over their shoulder, how much

1921
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 2: are these guys? They're both veterans, But when the quarterback

1922
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 2: is drafted behind you, what they're telling you is that

1923
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 2: they can see a succession plan with you no longer there.

1924
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 2: The first one is Jared Goff. Now, Jared Goff's coming

1925
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 2: off a great season for the Lions. He just was

1926
01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 2: come on, passed for forty five hundred yards, twenty nine touchdowns,

1927
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 2: seven interceptions. The Lions came this close to making the postseason,

1928
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 2: Seattle had to win. The Lions did their job in

1929
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 2: Green Bay, beating in the aforementioned Aaron Rodgers. Goff has

1930
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 2: become a feel good story. Remember he was the number

1931
01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 2: one draft pick overall at one time and he got

1932
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 2: the Rams. Who was Super Bowl Make fun of them

1933
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 2: all you want. They ran into Bill Belichick's defense. They

1934
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 2: lost thirteen to three. You know, but Golf is better

1935
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 2: than people realize. He he just fell into disfavor with

1936
01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 2: Sean McVay. It happens, right, But he's coming off a

1937
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 2: great season. So now I think the gold standard for

1938
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:11,600
Speaker 2: the Lions this year. You got to get to the

1939
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 2: postseason this year, and if you don't, maybe they start

1940
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 2: to look at handed Hooker down the road sooner rather

1941
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 2: than later. Right, And there's maybe a little bit more

1942
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 2: pressure on Golf this year because he gave him some

1943
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,560
Speaker 2: more weapons and new Mira Gibbs and Sam Laporta a

1944
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 2: tight end. Now, Tannehill has one year left with the

1945
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 2: Titans and this feels like it's his last dance. Let's

1946
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,679
Speaker 2: face it. You got Malik Willis, who I think flump

1947
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 2: mighty Lee last year, but they're not giving up on

1948
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,640
Speaker 2: him just yet. Then they bring in will Lavis, who

1949
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:38,800
Speaker 2: I have no idea who's going to make it in

1950
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,600
Speaker 2: the NFL. He threw less than fifty touchdown passes in

1951
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:44,799
Speaker 2: more than twenty five interceptions, and the list of quarterbacks

1952
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 2: who did that, guys like DJ Manuel, but they didn't

1953
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 2: exactly do well in the NFL. You know, Tannehill, though

1954
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 2: was only six and six as the starter last year,

1955
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 2: had a QBR of forty nine point three. This is

1956
01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 2: the lowest he's ever had in his career since coming

1957
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 2: over from Miami. So here's the question. If you are

1958
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 2: Jared Goff, if you are Ryan Tannehill, will either one

1959
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 2: of these quarterbacks be with their team in twenty twenty four.

1960
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 2: You just don't know. It's going to depend on what

1961
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:15,639
Speaker 2: happens this year. Coming up, speaking of Aaron Rodgers, You've

1962
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 2: heard about the trade. You've heard about the megadeal, It's

1963
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,759
Speaker 2: been in the books. The dust is settled. He's hanging

1964
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 2: out with Jessica albod, He's hanging out with Sauce Gardner,

1965
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 2: going in next games, probably eating at the stage Deli,

1966
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: making the rounds. How does this move impact other things

1967
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 2: surrounding it? What does it mean for Zach Wilson. What

1968
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 2: will Rogers legacy end up being in Green Bay? How

1969
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 2: does the trade change New York's playoff odds. We'll discuss

1970
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 2: it all coming up. The first let's go back to

1971
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:45,520
Speaker 2: Brian Fanley with the latest.

1972
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 7: Thank you Bernie Laker fans delighting and watching their team

1973
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,759
Speaker 7: last night, thrill with a convincing win over the Warriors

1974
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 7: one twenty seven to ninety seven a Game three of

1975
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:57,080
Speaker 7: their second round NBA playoff series out of the Western Conference.

1976
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 7: Lebron James twenty one points, eight rebounds says the man

1977
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 7: did not even attempt a field goal in the first

1978
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:06,599
Speaker 7: quarter and it didn't matter. His team still won by thirty.

1979
01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:09,879
Speaker 7: And then he received some more good news with his son, Broni,

1980
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,679
Speaker 7: who is heavily recruited coming out of high school, making

1981
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 7: the announcement making it official that he will play his

1982
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 7: college basketball staying in Los Angeles with USC under head

1983
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 7: coach Andy Enfield. As Lebron said afterwards, no matter what

1984
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:24,760
Speaker 7: happened on the court, for him, it was a win

1985
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 7: of a day for him, considering that his son is

1986
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 7: the first in his nuclear family immediate family in that

1987
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 7: they get to go to college. LA by the way,

1988
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 7: has a two games to one lead in this series.

1989
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,240
Speaker 7: The Heats have a two games to one lead in

1990
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 7: their second round series out of the Eastern Conference. After

1991
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 7: a one oh five, eighty six to eight takedown of

1992
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 7: the nixt Jimmy Butler twenty eight points took eleven free

1993
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:52,200
Speaker 7: throws he made ten of them, and so Miami has

1994
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 7: won two of the first three games of that series

1995
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 7: one to one. Is the series staling between the Oilers

1996
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:01,240
Speaker 7: and Golden Knights second round NHL Playoffs, where Edmonton last

1997
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 7: night won in a blowout five to one in a

1998
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:08,200
Speaker 7: Game two, with four of those five goals being tallied

1999
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 7: in the first period. For Edmonton. Major League Baseball, we

2000
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 7: do have the Blue Jays improveing to twenty and fourteen

2001
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 7: with an eight to two win against the Pirates as

2002
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:21,679
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh drops their sixth straight game. Same sort of misery

2003
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:26,040
Speaker 7: for the Philadelphia Phillies as they lose a sixth straight

2004
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,400
Speaker 7: even though they did celebrate Bryce Harper coming off the

2005
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:31,879
Speaker 7: injured list and hitting his first home run of the season,

2006
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 7: but it wasn't a loss. Seven to four. Red Sox

2007
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 7: on top as they win on the road, Diamondbacks win

2008
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 7: at home. They are now five games over five hundred

2009
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,479
Speaker 7: following their eight to seven victory with a wild ninth

2010
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 7: and a walkoff there for Arizona as they get the

2011
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 7: job done and more wins in the NLST for the

2012
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 7: Dodgers as they have a twenty to fourteen record in

2013
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 7: this early part of the Major League Baseball season. After

2014
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 7: their two to one win against the p Andres, low scoring.

2015
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 7: It combined eight or excuse me, eight hits in the

2016
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 7: three run game two to one in favor of the Dodgers.

2017
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 7: Chris Taylor have the two run home run there. And lastly, Bernie.

2018
01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 7: The Angels get beat up pretty bad at home ten

2019
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 7: to one against the Rangers in Al West battle. So

2020
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,800
Speaker 7: the Angels, albeit they are nine to six at home,

2021
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:25,880
Speaker 7: they suffer in l but we do have Bernie. Both

2022
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 7: of our teams in LA Major League Baseball with over

2023
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 7: five hundred records. We'll see how long that lasts for

2024
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 7: the Angels. That might not be too long, but you

2025
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 7: never know.

2026
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 2: You're not wrong. All right, thanks so much, Brian. All Right,

2027
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers trade. You may have read about it

2028
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 2: in all the papers. It's finally done, the mega deal.

2029
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,720
Speaker 2: And there are a few moving parts here, obviously, and

2030
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:53,040
Speaker 2: you you know, the draft is coming gone, and one

2031
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 2: of the questions remaining actually is and it's flying under

2032
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 2: the radars. What does this trade mean for Zach Wilson.

2033
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 2: Zack Wilson lit it up at the combine. He made

2034
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 2: every throw threw across his body sixty yards between the

2035
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,759
Speaker 2: hash marks. The problem is you've heard the old saying

2036
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 2: million dollar arm, ten cent head. I don't think it's

2037
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 2: fair for Zach Wilson. He doesn't have a ten cent head.

2038
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 2: He's probably got a nickelhead. But he can learn. Okay,

2039
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 2: they're not giving up on him. And what's interesting is

2040
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson has spoken about how much he idolized Darren

2041
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 2: Rodgers going up, and the two allegedly struck up a

2042
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 2: relationship last year when Wilson entered the NFL. So Rogers

2043
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 2: told the story about calling Zack Wilson on a Friday

2044
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 2: night during the offseason and he found out he was

2045
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:37,600
Speaker 2: still in a Jets media room and he said, go

2046
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 2: home and relax a little bit. Okay, thanks for that, Aaron.

2047
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 2: But the truth is Rogers did call Zach Wilson super

2048
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:48,559
Speaker 2: talented and says, you know, whoever they decide to go

2049
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 2: with when he's gone, hopefully a coordinator can work with

2050
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,760
Speaker 2: him and work on his fundamentals. And he's got a

2051
01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 2: lot of work to be done, but it can happen,

2052
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,439
Speaker 2: all right. The reason I bringing this up is because

2053
01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 2: this is one of the byproducts of the Aaron Rodgers deal.

2054
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 2: You would think in a perfect world that the Jets

2055
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 2: get two years out of Rogers. But we don't live

2056
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 2: in a perfect world, do we. You don't know what's

2057
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Hopefully Rogers days healthy. You don't know if

2058
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 2: he goes into a darkness retreat next year and it

2059
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 2: does some more ayahuasca and washes it down with some

2060
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 2: cron royal and says, I think I'm gonna retire. You

2061
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 2: just don't know what this guy. And but you got

2062
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 2: an you know, you got Nathaniel Hackett. He's got a

2063
01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:30,320
Speaker 2: support group. Rogers considers hacking a close friend. Blah blah blah.

2064
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 2: Now Rogers has an opportunity to mentor Wilson. He didn't

2065
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 2: want to mentor Jordan Love another guy who I don't

2066
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 2: think is gonna make it, but he could prove me wrong.

2067
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 2: You know my motto, don't tell me, show me. But

2068
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 2: back to Rogers, Back to Wilson. You know, Zach Wilson's

2069
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,839
Speaker 2: got a thick head. But the belief is if anybody

2070
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 2: can get through to him. He's only twenty three, and

2071
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot of people have given up on him, and

2072
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:56,120
Speaker 2: he's not exactly a fan favorite. In the locker room

2073
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 2: through fifteen touchdowns, eighteen interceptions, you know, since being drafted

2074
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 2: second overall. But the thought is, if anybody can get

2075
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 2: to them, it's going to be Aaron Rodgers. Now, part

2076
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:14,080
Speaker 2: of that reasoning behind this whole secondary beneficiary aspect of

2077
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 2: the Rogers deal is simply this, in addition to hoping

2078
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 2: Rogers wins games on the field and gets him into

2079
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 2: the playoffs, you're going to get your money out of

2080
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:24,679
Speaker 2: Rogers because you're paying him a lot. Although old green Bay,

2081
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 2: even though they're out from Rogers, they're out from under

2082
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:30,559
Speaker 2: his sixty million dollars in guaranteed money in twenty three,

2083
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:33,760
Speaker 2: the Packers still have to face a dead money cap

2084
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:37,719
Speaker 2: hit of more than forty million. And so when Rogers

2085
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 2: check that when the Packers signed Rogers and that Mantras

2086
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 2: three year, one hundred and fifty million dollar extension last offseason,

2087
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:47,680
Speaker 2: they were anticipating he'd be their quarterback for at least

2088
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 2: two more seasons. So they move on from Rogers before

2089
01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:54,840
Speaker 2: that mark. But guess what, he Lingers in Green Bay

2090
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 2: because there are financial ramifications for his contract, not as

2091
01:47:58,360 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 2: much as they would have been, and he stayed in

2092
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:04,439
Speaker 2: Green Bay this year. But nonetheless you know, you're still

2093
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 2: paying for Aaron Rodgers in a sense, in a manner

2094
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 2: of speaking with the cap it, what's rogers legacy in

2095
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:14,920
Speaker 2: Green Bay. He's a cerebral guy. He dissected offenses. His

2096
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 2: pre snap reeds were brilliant, His post snapereds were bringing

2097
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 2: every throw in the field. He's one of the most

2098
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 2: skill throwers of a football to ever walked the planet.

2099
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 2: There's no question his legacy is going to be defined

2100
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 2: by the fact that he did have incredible accuracy. He

2101
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 2: had an you know, he was otherworldly at times, he

2102
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:35,799
Speaker 2: was demanding, but in fifteen years he made enough plays.

2103
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 2: He garnered four MVP Onnors Awards, second most in league

2104
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 2: history behind Peyton Mannings five, and did win one Super Bowl.

2105
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 2: But he did cement himself as arguably the most talented

2106
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 2: player to ever play for the Packers, certainly a quarterback. However,

2107
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 2: he's also going to be defined by what he didn't accomplish.

2108
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 2: And there were moments this last year, you know it,

2109
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 2: when the situation demanded greatness and Rogers wasn't great. Now,

2110
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:06,160
Speaker 2: maybe it was his thumb. We're gonna find out. The

2111
01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 2: Jets their playoff odds changed to win the Super Bowl

2112
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:12,760
Speaker 2: and now fourteen to one as of a couple of

2113
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:17,960
Speaker 2: mondays Ago and look, New York basically has a i'd

2114
01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 2: say a thirty three percent chance of winning the AFC East,

2115
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 2: and Rogers, had he not joined the team, the Jets

2116
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 2: were figured to have a twelve percent chance. That's a

2117
01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 2: tough division. Obviously, got Josh Allen and Buffalo and everybody

2118
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:32,759
Speaker 2: wants to jump ship on them. Hey, they were thirteen

2119
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 2: to three last year. Don't go to sleep on him

2120
01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 2: so quick. Miami's going to be better, and they're good

2121
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 2: and as long as two is healthy, they're gonna be

2122
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:43,599
Speaker 2: more than serviceable. Say what you want about Belichick, They're

2123
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:45,400
Speaker 2: always going to be a tough out with the defense

2124
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 2: he puts on the field. Right, So what's the backstory here?

2125
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:53,520
Speaker 2: Because the backstory seems to have faded into the woodwork

2126
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 2: because Rogers, we've now everybody sort of allowed it to

2127
01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:02,599
Speaker 2: drift into the e that he kept mulling for multiple

2128
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:04,600
Speaker 2: months whether or not he wanted to continue playing in

2129
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 2: the NFL or retiring. He ultimately decided a return for

2130
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 2: his nineteen season. He does come to an agreement with

2131
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:14,719
Speaker 2: the Packers it would be for another team. The Jets,

2132
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:17,879
Speaker 2: you know, really courted Rogers. They flew to southern California,

2133
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 2: they spent time with him, they tried to iron out

2134
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:22,800
Speaker 2: this deal they finally did. Obviously, this isn't the first

2135
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 2: time the Jets have traded for a thirty nine year

2136
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 2: old quarterback. They did it back in two thousand and

2137
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:30,000
Speaker 2: eight Brett Favre, you know, he made room for Rogers

2138
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,719
Speaker 2: the circle of life. Rogers was twenty five at the time.

2139
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 2: That what was different though you probably don't remember that

2140
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:42,360
Speaker 2: trade didn't come to fruition until August, and so that

2141
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 2: cost the Jets a whole lot less, but they didn't

2142
01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 2: get him till August. Now, Iaron Rodgers is all in

2143
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 2: OTA's team activities. He's going to get in there and

2144
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 2: work with his receivers, and I think the Jets are

2145
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:54,680
Speaker 2: hoping this trade works out better than the last one

2146
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:59,640
Speaker 2: because the Jets they started eight and three and this

2147
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 2: is during into five years. Then he got actually injured

2148
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 2: in practice, lost for their last five That was back

2149
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:08,520
Speaker 2: when Eric Mangini was fired. Farvar was released in the offseason.

2150
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 2: So if that happens this time, I think there'll be

2151
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 2: a hell of a lot more Keith Gnashing, And let

2152
01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 2: me tell you, you know who the real pressure is

2153
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:18,639
Speaker 2: on Robert Sala. And I like Robert Sala, dearborn Michigan,

2154
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 2: dearborn Fortson, and he made his bones with the forty

2155
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 2: nine Ers, no question right. He was a hell of

2156
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 2: a coach. And I think if the Jets stay healthy,

2157
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:29,759
Speaker 2: they're going to be there. Right now, I know realize

2158
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 2: that the Jets also looked at pursuing Derek Carr. I

2159
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:35,160
Speaker 2: never bought that bologna about how Carr could be a

2160
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:37,679
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer in New York. Carr ends up signing

2161
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 2: with the Saints. I don't have high hopes for the

2162
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 2: Saints with Derek Carr. I do have high hopes for

2163
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,280
Speaker 2: the Jets, not from a fan standpoint, from just from

2164
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 2: an analytical standpoint that really, truly Rogers could be the

2165
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 2: missing link as to what the Jets were really needing.

2166
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:57,840
Speaker 2: So the deal is done. Onward and upward. It won't

2167
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 2: be long. I mean we're already into mid May. Let's

2168
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 2: see if this works. There's no guarantee it's gonna work,

2169
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 2: but you can't tell me it's not gonna be fun

2177
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:32,720

2178

2189
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 2: the dance sensation sweeping the nation will kind of brand

2190
01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:15,760
Speaker 2: new fool of you, followed by what my name? All right?

2191
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:19,760
Speaker 2: The twelve team college football playoff schedule is here. It's

2192
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 2: going to be spectacular. Yes, they are real, and they

2193
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:28,560
Speaker 2: are spectacular. None of more of this boloney four team

2194
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 2: made for TV Invitational tournament. There's gonna be twelve teams

2195
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 2: starting again. This starts in the twenty twenty four season,

2196
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,719
Speaker 2: heading into January twenty twenty five. That's when it starts

2197
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:44,400
Speaker 2: to be twelve teams, four rounds of competition. Here's where

2198
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 2: it gets interesting. Why refer to it as a football coma.

2199
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:52,560
Speaker 2: Due to pre existing scheduling challenges, the playoffs gotta be

2200
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 2: spread out, which is gonna push the action into deep January.

2201
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:01,920
Speaker 2: The championship game, the first year this format, will actually

2202
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:05,360
Speaker 2: be played on Martin Luther King Day, which is January twentieth,

2203
01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. This is going to be a long

2204
01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 2: college football season. Now. When you consider that and combine

2205
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 2: it with the expanded NFL playoffs, which are now up

2206
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:21,920
Speaker 2: to fourteen teams up from twelve, this is what you're

2207
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:26,880
Speaker 2: going to be calling a never before experience if football nirvana.

2208
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:31,120
Speaker 2: Here's why I say it. Starting Thursday, January ninth, they'll

2209
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:37,120
Speaker 2: have one college football semifinal. Thursday, Friday Night January tenth

2210
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 2: of college football semi final, then Saturday there'll be two

2211
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 2: NFL playoff games January eleventh. Sunday there'll be three NFL

2212
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:52,240
Speaker 2: playoff games. Sunday, January twelfth, Monday, Monday Night Football, one

2213
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 2: NFL playoff game. That's five consecutive days of do or

2214
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 2: die playoff action, eight games, two different levels of the sport,

2215
01:55:00,200 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 2: just a lot of football that's high drama, high intensity,

2216
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 2: high stakes, win or go home football. And it repeats

2217
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:10,920
Speaker 2: again in twenty twenty six, except that year the semis

2218
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 2: will begin on Thursday, January eighth instead of January ninth.

2219
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:18,400
Speaker 2: This is an incredible smrgas borgo football on. It's temporary,

2220
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 2: it's only gonna be two years because in futures, and

2221
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 2: again this is a calendar type situation. Clearly, the college

2222
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 2: you know, college football would prefer to avoid going head

2223
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 2: to head with the NFL and you know, get the

2224
01:55:32,160 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 2: ratings juggernaut on their own. So what's gonna happen is

2225
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 2: the NCAA is likely gonna shift the football season up

2226
01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 2: a week which is starting before labor Dad. I know

2227
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 2: they do that with week zero now, but I think

2228
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:45,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna do it with the full schedule in the

2229
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:48,920
Speaker 2: next couple of years. This would allow two full rounds

2230
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 2: of playoffs to be staged in December, and then the

2231
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 2: semi finals can be played on New Year's Day that'll

2232
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:59,839
Speaker 2: be come again, which has always been a college football holiday,

2233
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 2: as well as New Year's Day Holi Nashville holiday, and

2234
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 2: then the title game would move back to more earlier

2235
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:09,800
Speaker 2: in January. But until then, you're gonna have a little

2236
01:56:09,800 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 2: bit of a cluster. Here's what I mean by that,

2237
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 2: because college football first round games, and one of the

2238
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 2: things that's gonna be cool about this new format is

2239
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,360
Speaker 2: the first round games are gonna be played on college campuses.

2240
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 2: So mark your calendar twenty twenty four, Friday, December twentieth,

2241
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:27,640
Speaker 2: there'll be one game. This will be a first round

2242
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:30,960
Speaker 2: game played on college campus. And then on Saturday, there's

2243
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:33,200
Speaker 2: gonna be a triple header Saturday, December twenty first to

2244
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:38,000
Speaker 2: be three games. Here's where it gets wonky. Those three

2245
01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 2: games clearly are going to clash with NFL regular season.

2246
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 2: NFL games also played that Saturday. So no doubt that's

2247
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 2: gonna impact the college ratings somewhat because the NFL is king,

2248
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:50,760
Speaker 2: but the NFL is gonna suffer a little too. But

2249
01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:53,880
Speaker 2: either way, for fans that week and becomes your own

2250
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 2: slice of football Heaven. You got options, man, and go

2251
01:56:57,400 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 2: to the sportsbook if you don't like it. There's multiple TVs.

2252
01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 2: Are you going much more games at one time? It's

2253
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:05,120
Speaker 2: like March Madness? Then the college football quarterfinal round it's

2254
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 2: going to proceed with one game on New Year's Even,

2255
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:11,400
Speaker 2: then three, a triple header on New Year's Day, and

2256
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 2: then that scenario I just described to you, the semis

2257
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 2: on Thursday and Friday before wildcard weekend in the NFL. Now,

2258
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 2: I know if you talk behind closed doors, if you

2259
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 2: talk to the powers to be in college football in

2260
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 2: the NFL, they don't consider this ideal. But this is

2261
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:28,960
Speaker 2: the reality for college football. They wasted so many years

2262
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 2: fighting against this inevitable expansion that they screwed up, and

2263
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 2: now their first couple of years it's going to be

2264
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 2: gobbling up some prime dates and they're going to be

2265
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 2: going against the NFL. So there might be some negatives

2266
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 2: because having the semi finals played on weeknights and neutral

2267
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 2: sites could be tough for fan travel could be tough

2268
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:49,800
Speaker 2: for attendance in games of that magnitude, or a semi

2269
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:52,480
Speaker 2: final finishing late on a work school night that could

2270
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:56,360
Speaker 2: be problematic, too bad. Get over it right. That said,

2271
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 2: playing the semifinals before Wildcard weekend rather than had to

2272
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:03,000
Speaker 2: head or on the Monday after that should do wonders

2273
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:05,520
Speaker 2: for the build up of these games, and it should

2274
01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 2: do wonders for the handle. You know how it is

2275
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:10,400

2301
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:39,160
Speaker 2: to Shining Sea, and even around all parts of the globe,

2302
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 2: people do things. They do things. Sometimes they're innocuous, sometimes

2303
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:49,600
Speaker 2: they're nefarious, sometimes they're criminal. Sometimes they break the law.

2304
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,640
Speaker 2: But no matter what it is, it always leaves you

2305
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 2: scratching your head and asking a very simple question, what

2306
01:59:56,840 --> 01:59:58,120
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool of you?

2307
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:08,040
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2308
02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Well? Science Adventure takes us to Palm Coast, Florida, Say hello,

2309
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 2: and meet Lance Kertz of Palm Coast, Florida. Now Matt

2310
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 2: recently broke into a Palm Coast gas station in the

2311
02:00:22,320 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 2: middle of the night, stole some items, and he was

2312
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:30,200
Speaker 2: identified and later arrested. Why because he left behind his

2313
02:00:30,320 --> 02:00:34,000
Speaker 2: debit card. That's what the Flagler County Sheriff's Office told us.

2314
02:00:34,480 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 2: So deputies responded to the business because the alarm went

2315
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,680
Speaker 2: off early Sunday morning. They found the front door of

2316
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:44,680
Speaker 2: the business unlocked. Inside, there was an empty gas station.

2317
02:00:44,960 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 2: They find a debit card with the name Lance Kerts

2318
02:00:48,640 --> 02:00:52,400
Speaker 2: on the counter near the register, so they review the

2319
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:55,120
Speaker 2: surveillance video. It showed a man entering the store from

2320
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:59,120
Speaker 2: the back, taking multiple items, then unlocking the front door

2321
02:00:59,160 --> 02:01:03,720
Speaker 2: and leaving well. Law enforcement said they recognized Kurtz from

2322
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:07,320
Speaker 2: a previous vehicle fire near the gas station that actually

2323
02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:10,440
Speaker 2: happened earlier in the night. They'd spoke with Kurtz and

2324
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:14,080
Speaker 2: they found him in the same location nearest disabled vehicle,

2325
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:17,640
Speaker 2: and he admitted to breaking into the business and taking

2326
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:21,880
Speaker 2: the items. Here's where it gets fun. According to the

2327
02:01:21,920 --> 02:01:26,400
Speaker 2: Sheriff's office, Lance Kertz told deputies he left behind his

2328
02:01:26,520 --> 02:01:29,160
Speaker 2: debit card, so he could go back to the business

2329
02:01:29,240 --> 02:01:33,839
Speaker 2: the next day and pay for the items later. The sheriff,

2330
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:37,520
Speaker 2: Rick Daley said in a statement, Kurtz must have really

2331
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 2: wanted those items. To break into a closed convenience store

2332
02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:45,080
Speaker 2: and then leaving your debit card behind, Well, that does

2333
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:48,720
Speaker 2: not absolve you from theft or burglary. He was booked

2334
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:52,440
Speaker 2: into Flagler County Jail on charges of arm burgley and

2335
02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:54,960
Speaker 2: had to post a ten thousand dollars bond, which once

2336
02:01:54,960 --> 02:01:59,080
Speaker 2: again leaves us asking ourselves, Lance Kurtz of Palm Coast, Florida,

2337
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:03,120
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you? Brian Finley,

2338
02:02:03,120 --> 02:02:04,360
Speaker 2: you played this game once you're time?

2339
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:06,680
Speaker 7: Oh yes, it's been a while, Bernie, But I got

2340
02:02:06,720 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 7: somebody for you, and he is a walking technical fel,

2341
02:02:09,880 --> 02:02:13,520
Speaker 7: maybe even a walking flagrant fel. I'm talking about Dylan Brooks.

2342
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:14,200
Speaker 5: Bernie.

2343
02:02:14,240 --> 02:02:17,960
Speaker 7: You know this guy you talk about a fool. So

2344
02:02:18,040 --> 02:02:20,960
Speaker 7: this guy throws all sorts of shade at Lebron James,

2345
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:24,280
Speaker 7: making him sound like he's nothing compared to Dylan Brooks

2346
02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:26,320
Speaker 7: and the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening round of the

2347
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:29,160
Speaker 7: playoffs are just gonna dominate the Lakers right through the

2348
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 7: two seed, going up against the seventh seed, and when

2349
02:02:31,840 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 7: you've got a guy like Dylan Brooks, of course you're

2350
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:38,200
Speaker 7: supposed to win. But wait a minute. Word got out

2351
02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:41,480
Speaker 7: about the smack talk, and Lebron James and the rest

2352
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:45,919
Speaker 7: of the Lakers seemingly took it personally. And Dylan Brooks,

2353
02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:51,400
Speaker 7: who spoke so mightily was such hubris and arrogance, not

2354
02:02:51,520 --> 02:02:56,400
Speaker 7: only had to recant his words because of how poorly

2355
02:02:56,520 --> 02:03:00,720
Speaker 7: he played. The Lakers won after all of the trash

2356
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 7: that he spoke, and he could not back it up.

2357
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:06,280
Speaker 7: But now Bernie the Grizzlies are saying they don't want

2358
02:03:06,320 --> 02:03:09,600
Speaker 7: Dylan Brooks back on the team. So he calls his

2359
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:15,000
Speaker 7: shot against the Lakers and gets embarrassed. And now Memphis says,

2360
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:17,400
Speaker 7: you know what, Dylan, you might average eighteen or so

2361
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,960
Speaker 7: points per game, but we can't take your attitude. We

2362
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 7: can't take all of this extra stuff, the noise, the

2363
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:26,640
Speaker 7: commotion that you bring, all the negative attention. We'll see

2364
02:03:26,720 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 7: you later, thanks, but you're not coming back.

2365
02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Nicely done, Brian. By the way, he didn't do anything

2366
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:34,720
Speaker 2: like punch Lebron and the junk or anything.

2367
02:03:35,080 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 7: No, I mean, Wayne Klink, maybe that might have been

2368
02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:38,560
Speaker 7: part of it as well.

2369
02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Believe it or not that knucklehead was even offered an

2370
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 2: extension earlier in the year and turned them down. Oh

2371
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:51,440
Speaker 2: what question would that leave you asking yourself, Brian?

2372
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:55,320
Speaker 7: What kind of brand new fool? Are you nicely done?

2373
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Brian? All right, Patrick, you're becoming a veteran at this game.

2374
02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:02,240
Speaker 4: Yes, Ernie, Yes, it would seem so. I am.

2375
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:04,320
Speaker 10: Now I got the hang of it a little bit.

2376
02:04:04,840 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 10: Now since it's now what kind of brand new fool?

2377
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:10,320
Speaker 10: Let's go with this one's not quite as long and

2378
02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:13,080
Speaker 10: you know, storytelling with the Dylan Brooks one, which I

2379
02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:16,440
Speaker 10: did love, by the way, Friendley, I was great. This

2380
02:04:16,480 --> 02:04:18,960
Speaker 10: one's a little short but sweet, and we're gonna take

2381
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 10: it down to Connecticut while police officers were responding to

2382
02:04:26,520 --> 02:04:28,800
Speaker 10: erratic driving from a man in the middle of the night.

2383
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:32,800
Speaker 10: Man was traveling at high rate of speed and was

2384
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:37,440
Speaker 10: swerving around, so suspected potential drunk driving is what we're

2385
02:04:37,440 --> 02:04:40,640
Speaker 10: at here. And man thirty year old man unnamed we

2386
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 10: do not know, let's call him John Doe here saw

2387
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:47,280
Speaker 10: the cops after him, did not stop at the at

2388
02:04:47,320 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 10: the you know stop.

2389
02:04:49,080 --> 02:04:51,320
Speaker 4: Pullover, kept going, went a little.

2390
02:04:51,080 --> 02:04:53,400
Speaker 10: Bit faster, so the cops went a little bit of

2391
02:04:53,440 --> 02:04:55,680
Speaker 10: a car car chase for him, not too long, maybe

2392
02:04:55,680 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 10: a few minutes or so. Well, the dude went to

2393
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 10: turn right, but then went left, you know, koreening since

2394
02:05:03,440 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 10: you know he's inebriated, it seemed, and he crashed. Now, Bernie,

2395
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 10: where did this man crash right into the police apartment sign?

2396
02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:14,600
Speaker 2: Oh hate when that happens.

2397
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 10: I hate when that happens too. Police got out of

2398
02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:20,640
Speaker 10: the car, got the man out. He was not injured,

2399
02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,720
Speaker 10: but they did test his sobriety and they did say,

2400
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:27,280
Speaker 10: in quote it was not up to standard and booked

2401
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:30,840
Speaker 10: him after about a good twenty yards, taking him from

2402
02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 10: the car to jail. So, mister random Connecticut drunk driver

2403
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:38,800
Speaker 10: John Doman, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2404
02:05:39,040 --> 02:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Sir? So we've got drunk driving, crazy NBA players and

2405
02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:45,080
Speaker 2: a guy who breaks into a gas station and leaves

2406
02:05:45,080 --> 02:05:48,919
Speaker 2: his debit card. That's exactly what we call this segment.

2407
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:53,240
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool? You never fails to deliver,

2408
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 2: which also allows us to segue into our second favorite bitch,

2409
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:03,840
Speaker 2: something we lovingly referred to as what my name? All Right?

2410
02:06:03,880 --> 02:06:07,360
Speaker 2: We got some doozies tonight and We're gonna cover several sports.

2411
02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:12,000
Speaker 2: We'll run the gamut. All right, Let's start with this one.

2412
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:16,000
Speaker 2: I recently scored in an NBA playoff game twenty two points,

2413
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:19,400
Speaker 2: grabbed a career high twenty rebounds to become the oldest

2414
02:06:19,440 --> 02:06:24,000
Speaker 2: player in the NBA in NBA history with a twenty

2415
02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:25,960
Speaker 2: twenty game, Brian Family, what my name?

2416
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:32,360
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, I am going to go with Anthony Davis.

2417
02:06:32,400 --> 02:06:38,200
Speaker 2: Not a bad guess. Close, Lebron James. Lebron James just

2418
02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:40,200
Speaker 2: did it a couple of weeks ago. Let's stay in

2419
02:06:40,240 --> 02:06:45,760
Speaker 2: the NBA. I still to this day have the most

2420
02:06:45,960 --> 02:06:51,760
Speaker 2: assists in an NBA game with thirty. Patrick Sweeker, What

Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I do. I do once again love

2425
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 2: the jeopardy aspect by framing your answer in the form

2426
02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 2: of a question. Somewhere Alex Trebek is smiling. All right, Brian,

2427
02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:16,800
Speaker 2: you've also been a veteran at this game. I hold

2428
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 2: the record to this day in the NBA for most

2429
02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:23,080
Speaker 2: assists in one game with thirty. Brian Finley, what my.

2430
02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:24,280
Speaker 4: Name Jason Kidd.

2431
02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:29,240
Speaker 2: Hey, that's a good guess. It's actually Scottie Skiles, same Skyles, right,

2432
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:31,720
Speaker 2: same school. I mean did it forever ago. It's in

2433
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,840
Speaker 2: the mid eighties. So when you went with magic ilmost said,

2434
02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 2: well you have the school right, but that you know,

2435
02:07:36,320 --> 02:07:39,560
Speaker 2: that might have been an all right, let's switch gears

2436
02:07:39,600 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 2: to the NFL. To this day, I still hold the

2437
02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:45,840
Speaker 2: record in the National Football League for most carries in

2438
02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:49,600
Speaker 2: an NFL game by a running back at forty five.

2439
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:53,200
Speaker 2: Patrick Sweeka. What my name? Ooh?

2440
02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:57,240
Speaker 4: What is give me all day? Adrian Peterson?

2441
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:02,080
Speaker 2: Not a bad guess, Not Adrian Peter all right. To

2442
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 2: this day, I hold a record the National Football League

2443
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:08,320
Speaker 2: for most carries that are running back and most carries

2444
02:08:08,360 --> 02:08:10,880
Speaker 2: buyer running back in one game with forty five. Brian Finley,

2445
02:08:10,880 --> 02:08:11,400
Speaker 2: What my name?

2446
02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:12,880
Speaker 7: Garrison Hurst?

2447
02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:15,880
Speaker 2: But these are good guess the guys, it's actually actually

2448
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:20,200
Speaker 2: Jamie Morris. Ever Jamie Morris New York Giants also played

2449
02:08:20,280 --> 02:08:23,560
Speaker 2: at Michigan. All right, let's strow a little curveball here.

2450
02:08:23,960 --> 02:08:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm a famous name in the entertainment industry, but I

2451
02:08:28,040 --> 02:08:31,080
Speaker 2: was fired from my first two newspaper jobs because my

2452
02:08:31,200 --> 02:08:34,920
Speaker 2: bosses said I had no creativity, Patrick sweek at what

2453
02:08:35,080 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 2: my name?

2454
02:08:36,120 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 4: What is Dylan Brooks.

2455
02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 2: I think he's got a lot of creativity. He even

2456
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:48,440
Speaker 2: punched the guy for Cleveland in the junk too, Donovan

2457
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:49,720
Speaker 2: Mitchell and I started earlier.

2458
02:08:50,080 --> 02:08:52,160
Speaker 4: I think that was Brownie James's dad.

2459
02:08:52,640 --> 02:08:54,720
Speaker 10: I don't remember his name, but I think it's Bronnie,

2460
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:56,600
Speaker 10: the Brownie James's dad, I believe.

2461
02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:01,080
Speaker 2: Moving along, I'm a famous name entertainment, but I was

2462
02:09:01,200 --> 02:09:03,920
Speaker 2: fired for my first two newspaper Jofts because my boss

2463
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:06,680
Speaker 2: has said I had no creativity. Brian Finley what my name?

2464
02:09:08,200 --> 02:09:10,400
Speaker 7: I think it was TV, So this is probably not right.

2465
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 7: Oprah is who I'm going with.

2466
02:09:12,520 --> 02:09:15,120
Speaker 2: You know, that's a good guess because Oprah talks about

2467
02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:17,720
Speaker 2: how her fifth grade teacher said she wouldn't amount to anything,

2468
02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:21,600
Speaker 2: and uh, yeah, it's not Oprah, But that's a good guess.

2469
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:26,440
Speaker 2: It's actually Walt Disney. Oh oh wow me. But I

2470
02:09:26,480 --> 02:09:30,160
Speaker 2: am proud of Bronni James because, like Lebron said, he'll

2471
02:09:30,200 --> 02:09:31,920
Speaker 2: be the first one in the James family ever to

2472
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:35,720
Speaker 2: attend college. I can underly I can understand lebron James

2473
02:09:35,720 --> 02:09:38,240
Speaker 2: exciting because I'm the first member of mine family to

2474
02:09:38,240 --> 02:09:42,440
Speaker 2: attend high school. But we move along, all right, And

2475
02:09:42,480 --> 02:09:44,480
Speaker 2: I did go the full six years. I no dropout.

2476
02:09:44,680 --> 02:09:46,560
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna try a little hockey, guys. I'm the

2477
02:09:46,680 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 2: oldest player in NHL history to score four goals during

2478
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:54,360
Speaker 2: a Stanley Cup playoff game. Patrick Sweeka, What my name?

2479
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:59,840
Speaker 4: What is Steve Cement head? Semenco? Well he was.

2480
02:09:59,800 --> 02:10:04,360
Speaker 2: A fight or two, was not Simenco. I'm the oldest

2481
02:10:04,360 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 2: player in NHL history to score four goals during a

2482
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoff game. Brian Finley, what my name?

2483
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:10,800
Speaker 7: But Steierman?

2484
02:10:11,480 --> 02:10:13,920
Speaker 2: Well that's another good guess. You know, guys, it's just

2485
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:16,960
Speaker 2: happened a week and a half ago. Joe Pavelski the Stars.

2486
02:10:17,520 --> 02:10:19,480
Speaker 4: That makes sense, all right.

2487
02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 2: Moving along. I'm the young this is one Andy Furman.

2488
02:10:22,760 --> 02:10:26,360
Speaker 2: We get for sure. I'm the youngest pitcher to ever

2489
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:30,400
Speaker 2: appear in a Major League baseball game. I was fifteen

2490
02:10:30,480 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 2: years old at the time. Patrick Sweeka, what my name?

2491
02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 4: What is Trevor Bauer?

2492
02:10:42,760 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm sorry you're wrong, but but I again

2493
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:49,480
Speaker 2: give you style for you know, phrasing it in the

2494
02:10:49,480 --> 02:10:52,680
Speaker 2: form of a question somewhere Art Fleming and uh you know,

2495
02:10:53,080 --> 02:10:59,720
Speaker 2: and uh now you got me off, flustered Alex Trebek. Oh, yes,

2496
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 2: what I get for Trent, It's what I get for

2497
02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:03,640
Speaker 2: reaching for a laflin. I haven't been drinking, folks, not

2498
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:06,160
Speaker 2: yet anyway. All right, I'm the youngest pitcher to ever

2499
02:11:06,200 --> 02:11:08,160
Speaker 2: appear in a Major League baseball game. I was fifteen

2500
02:11:08,200 --> 02:11:10,000
Speaker 2: years old at the time. Brian Fanley, what my name?

2501
02:11:11,520 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 7: I want to see Danielle Monte. That's a joke. But

2502
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:15,960
Speaker 7: how about this, Let's go with Frando Vealezuela.

2503
02:11:16,960 --> 02:11:20,240
Speaker 2: No, but you get bonus plaster mentioning Danielle Monte, who

2504
02:11:20,320 --> 02:11:22,400
Speaker 2: was like sixteen when he pitched in a little league

2505
02:11:22,440 --> 02:11:25,120
Speaker 2: game at age twelve years ago. A couple of years later,

2506
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:26,760
Speaker 2: he was dating like a forty year old woman. So

2507
02:11:26,960 --> 02:11:29,160
Speaker 2: Daniel Monte, you know, he's like a man of he's

2508
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:31,960
Speaker 2: like a man about town. Good name, good name. All right.

2509
02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 2: This week in nineteen seventy five, I had the distinction

2510
02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:38,560
Speaker 2: of scoring the one million one in Major League Baseball.

2511
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:40,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Sweeka, what my name?

2512
02:11:41,320 --> 02:11:47,320
Speaker 4: Ooh, what is or who is the sault? In a swap?

2513
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:53,560
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth nineteen seventy five. That would be a hell,

2514
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,400
Speaker 2: but that would be a hell of accomplishment was like

2515
02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:58,000
Speaker 2: twenty seven years after he died. No, Ruth was good.

2516
02:12:01,240 --> 02:12:03,560
Speaker 2: All right. This week in nineteen seventy five, I had

2517
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:06,960
Speaker 2: the distinction of scoring in baseball's one million thrun. Brian Finley,

2518
02:12:06,960 --> 02:12:10,640
Speaker 2: What my name, Willie Stargel A good guess, it's actually

2519
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:15,280
Speaker 2: Bob Wasson. Now back that, back then, Baseball made a

2520
02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:18,800
Speaker 2: real big deal about this, guys, that the one million

2521
02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:22,040
Speaker 2: run would be scored this year, and players knew about it.

2522
02:12:22,040 --> 02:12:24,600
Speaker 2: They wanted to be that guy. So Watson hit a

2523
02:12:24,600 --> 02:12:26,760
Speaker 2: home run, and he was sprinting around the bases. Had

2524
02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 2: he not precise at that moment? Dandy Concepts you know

2525
02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:32,400
Speaker 2: at Cincinnati also hit a home run. He was sprinting

2526
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:35,640
Speaker 2: around the bases. Watson literally crossed home played a couple

2527
02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:42,520
Speaker 2: seconds before. Yep, all right, last one, guys, I think

2528
02:12:42,560 --> 02:12:45,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna get this one, all right. I came out

2529
02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:48,600
Speaker 2: of retirement for two days in nineteen eighty to play

2530
02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:51,800
Speaker 2: for the Chicago White Sox. This allowed me to appear

2531
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:55,960
Speaker 2: in major league games in five decades. Patrick SWEEKA, what

2532
02:12:56,040 --> 02:12:56,400
Speaker 2: my name?

2533
02:12:57,440 --> 02:12:59,720

Speaker 2: we move along and dive into our progressive power player

2546
02:13:49,920 --> 02:13:53,200
Speaker 2: the day, I want to give credit to Midnight Walker,

2547
02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:55,480
Speaker 2: who just tweeted at me. He says, Bernie, you didn't

2548
02:13:55,480 --> 02:13:58,280
Speaker 2: give the answer to the fifteen year old pitcher. I

2549
02:13:58,280 --> 02:14:00,920
Speaker 2: bet it was Joe Knoxall. He's exactly right. I brain

2550
02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:03,000
Speaker 2: farted in our high jinks and we were having so

2551
02:14:03,080 --> 02:14:05,040
Speaker 2: much fun. I'm neglected to give the answer to what

2552
02:14:05,160 --> 02:14:07,640
Speaker 2: my Name? And the question, of course, was on the

2553
02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:11,040
Speaker 2: youngest pitcher ever pitching the major leagues did so at

2554
02:14:11,040 --> 02:14:13,560
Speaker 2: age fifteen. It was, of course Joe Knuxhall did it

2555
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:17,320
Speaker 2: in nineteen forty four. It was during the war, and

2556
02:14:17,480 --> 02:14:19,000
Speaker 2: I believe it went on to be an announcer for

2557
02:14:19,080 --> 02:14:22,480
Speaker 2: the Reds as well, So good job Midnight Walker on

2558

02:15:32,920 --> 02:15:35,480
Speaker 2: with Gretzky back in the day's Edmonton team is scary.

2578
02:15:36,160 --> 02:15:39,040
Speaker 2: They are really scary, and their power play is historically

2579
02:15:39,200 --> 02:15:41,520
Speaker 2: they're converting in fifty eight percent in the playoffs. But

2580
02:15:42,160 --> 02:15:47,040
Speaker 2: I digress. Game three will be Monday in Edmonton as

2581
02:15:47,240 --> 02:15:50,360
Speaker 2: the March for Lord Stanley Cup continues the two month gauntlet.

2582
02:15:50,880 --> 02:15:53,040
Speaker 2: The Packers and Jordan Love. They agreed on a one

2583
02:15:53,080 --> 02:15:55,440
Speaker 2: year contract extension. It's going to keep in Green Bay

2584
02:15:55,440 --> 02:15:59,840
Speaker 2: through twenty twenty four. So you know, you heard last

2585
02:15:59,840 --> 02:16:03,200
Speaker 2: week when Guda Kun said, Brian Goodakuhn said, you know,

2586
02:16:04,120 --> 02:16:05,680
Speaker 2: are we going to pick up his fifty year option.

2587
02:16:05,720 --> 02:16:08,280
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money for a guy who hasn't played.

2588
02:16:09,120 --> 02:16:12,480
Speaker 2: He's not wrong, and I have no idea if Jordan

2589
02:16:12,520 --> 02:16:17,680
Speaker 2: Love's gonna make it none fifty to fifty at best.

2590
02:16:18,360 --> 02:16:21,240
Speaker 2: He had one start in his career, they lost thirteen

2591
02:16:21,280 --> 02:16:25,000
Speaker 2: to seven in Kansas City. Played well in spurts, but

2592
02:16:26,080 --> 02:16:28,360
Speaker 2: you know then it caught up with him. That was

2593
02:16:28,440 --> 02:16:32,520
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty one Aaron Rodgers had contracted COVID nineteen.

2594
02:16:33,240 --> 02:16:35,480
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. If you're Jordan Love and you

2595
02:16:35,560 --> 02:16:37,200
Speaker 2: get on the field and perform a green Bay's got

2596
02:16:37,200 --> 02:16:39,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good roster. You could set yourself up for

2597
02:16:39,600 --> 02:16:41,200
Speaker 2: a long term deal if he plays well enough.

2598
02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:41,600
Speaker 5: This year.

2599
02:16:42,160 --> 02:16:44,280
Speaker 2: In his whole career, Love was only thrown for six

2600
02:16:44,400 --> 02:16:47,560
Speaker 2: hundred and six yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions. He's appeared

2601
02:16:47,560 --> 02:16:51,480
Speaker 2: in ten games, started one. Now the Packers speak highly

2602
02:16:51,520 --> 02:16:55,200
Speaker 2: of Love, Rogers speaks highly of Love. We'll see is

2603
02:16:55,200 --> 02:16:57,600
Speaker 2: he ready. You have no idea if he's ready. Even

2604
02:16:57,640 --> 02:16:59,720
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and seven when Aaron Rodgers came

2605
02:16:59,760 --> 02:17:02,120
Speaker 2: off the bench that Thursday night game at Dallas to

2606
02:17:02,200 --> 02:17:05,120
Speaker 2: relieve Brett Favre, and he looked terrific. Well the following

2607
02:17:05,160 --> 02:17:08,640
Speaker 2: year and eight, when Farv went to the Jets, Rogers

2608
02:17:08,720 --> 02:17:10,280
Speaker 2: got a text. He said, that's it. You got the

2609
02:17:10,360 --> 02:17:12,440
Speaker 2: keys of the car, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

2610
02:17:12,440 --> 02:17:15,200
Speaker 2: And Rogers admitted many years later, the minute he got

2611
02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:17,840
Speaker 2: that text and knew that he was not going to

2612
02:17:17,879 --> 02:17:21,200
Speaker 2: be the starter again, keys to the car, keys to

2613
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:24,600
Speaker 2: the franchise, all of a sudden, all these things you've

2614
02:17:24,640 --> 02:17:27,400
Speaker 2: dreamed about, the unfold and living color in real life,

2615
02:17:27,840 --> 02:17:29,840
Speaker 2: and it's you. Now, It's all about you, a lambeau

2616
02:17:29,920 --> 02:17:33,040
Speaker 2: Field and negotiating the NFC North. He said at that

2617
02:17:33,080 --> 02:17:36,039
Speaker 2: moment he really didn't know if he was ready, and

2618
02:17:36,800 --> 02:17:39,680
Speaker 2: he ended up being ready. But he said, you really

2619
02:17:39,720 --> 02:17:41,920
Speaker 2: don't know until you actually get on the field and

2620
02:17:41,959 --> 02:17:43,560
Speaker 2: the real bullets start to fly. Do you have a

2621
02:17:43,600 --> 02:17:48,160
Speaker 2: great rookie year? But cooler heads did prevail. Jordan Love

2622
02:17:48,240 --> 02:17:50,280
Speaker 2: sounds like a reasonable guy. Let's give the man credit.

2623
02:17:50,680 --> 02:17:54,440
Speaker 2: He's been dutiful. He's I understand. He you know, shows up,

2624
02:17:54,480 --> 02:17:57,640
Speaker 2: does his job. You didn't hear him complaining. You don't

2625
02:17:57,680 --> 02:18:00,440
Speaker 2: hear him sulking. He waited his turn. Now he gets

2626
02:18:00,480 --> 02:18:03,680
Speaker 2: his chance. And they both sides, you know, both sides

2627
02:18:03,720 --> 02:18:07,160
Speaker 2: agreed basically to opt against a fifth year option. What

2628
02:18:07,200 --> 02:18:11,880
Speaker 2: this does is it gives Jordan Love some security. It's

2629
02:18:11,879 --> 02:18:15,800
Speaker 2: a less expensive opportunity for the Packers. The extension is

2630
02:18:15,840 --> 02:18:19,119
Speaker 2: worth up to twenty two million, including thirteen million guaranteed,

2631
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:25,000
Speaker 2: And if Brian Goodakounz had gone with a fifth year option,

2632
02:18:27,080 --> 02:18:29,000
Speaker 2: then they would have cost the Packers twenty one million

2633
02:18:29,040 --> 02:18:31,240
Speaker 2: full of guaranteed for the twenty twenty four season. Remember

2634
02:18:31,280 --> 02:18:33,200
Speaker 2: they've already got that forty million dollar cap hit with

2635
02:18:33,240 --> 02:18:36,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. So you're trying to watch it and I

2636
02:18:36,160 --> 02:18:39,320
Speaker 2: think The bottom line is Love was set to have

2637
02:18:39,360 --> 02:18:43,240
Speaker 2: a guaranteed salary of about two million, too little two

2638
02:18:43,280 --> 02:18:46,040
Speaker 2: and a half million and twenty twenty three. But now

2639
02:18:46,720 --> 02:18:49,600
Speaker 2: he gets a nice pay raise. Because of that pay

2640
02:18:49,720 --> 02:18:52,800
Speaker 2: raise and because of them agreeing to this situation for

2641
02:18:52,879 --> 02:18:55,959
Speaker 2: two years, he'll get about thirteen million guaranteed on his

2642
02:18:56,040 --> 02:18:59,320
Speaker 2: new deal, even before he becomes the full time starter.

2643
02:18:59,440 --> 02:19:04,200
Speaker 2: Now he's got to prove it. I suspicion Jordan Love

2644
02:19:04,240 --> 02:19:07,240
Speaker 2: will get two full years to prove whether he's going

2645
02:19:07,280 --> 02:19:10,280
Speaker 2: to be the long term solution starting quarterback for the Packers.

2646
02:19:11,080 --> 02:19:13,400
Speaker 2: And if you look at the history of Green Bay,

2647
02:19:13,800 --> 02:19:15,320
Speaker 2: you gotta go all the way back to I think

2648
02:19:15,360 --> 02:19:18,480
Speaker 2: it's nineteen ninety four. I know Farv was there in

2649
02:19:18,600 --> 02:19:21,120
Speaker 2: ninety four because I covered the game at the Silver

2650
02:19:21,200 --> 02:19:24,680
Speaker 2: Doome when he hit Shannon Sharp and silenced the Lion

2651
02:19:24,800 --> 02:19:26,600
Speaker 2: crowd with about a minute to go in the game

2652
02:19:26,640 --> 02:19:29,640
Speaker 2: to beat the Lions and knock them out of the playoffs.

2653
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:33,320
Speaker 2: So if you're talking from nineteen ninety four to twenty

2654
02:19:33,440 --> 02:19:36,920
Speaker 2: twenty two, that's what you know. Twenty twenty nine years,

2655
02:19:36,920 --> 02:19:39,840
Speaker 2: he had Brett Favre and then he had Aaron Rodgers.

2656
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:45,080
Speaker 2: You had stability at quarterback. And now you know, look

2657
02:19:45,400 --> 02:19:48,040
Speaker 2: the Jets, the Packers got their wish. They said they

2658
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:49,879
Speaker 2: wanted to move on. They said all the right things.

2659
02:19:50,160 --> 02:19:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if they mean what they said, but

2660
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:54,480
Speaker 2: no more Aaron Rodgers and Love was your first round

2661
02:19:54,520 --> 02:19:58,120
Speaker 2: pick in twenty twenty ten games three seasons. Hasn't exactly

2662
02:19:58,160 --> 02:20:00,000
Speaker 2: set the world on fire, but it hasn't really been

2663
02:20:00,120 --> 02:20:03,840
Speaker 2: given the chance either. So Lamar gets his deal this week,

2664
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:07,039
Speaker 2: Jordan Love gets his deal this week, Rogers gets his

2665
02:20:07,080 --> 02:20:13,000
Speaker 2: deal last week. All as well. Everybody is happy. Hopefully

2666
02:20:13,120 --> 02:20:18,760
Speaker 2: we shall see all right. Coming up Chris Purfet's World

2667
02:20:18,800 --> 02:20:21,400
Speaker 2: of Soccer, But first let's go back to Brian Shirley

2668
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:21,560
Speaker 2: with the.

2669
02:20:21,600 --> 02:20:24,760
Speaker 7: Latest Yeah Bernie. Speaking of being happy, the Lakers fans

2670
02:20:24,760 --> 02:20:28,880
Speaker 7: certainly are following their team winning in a dominant showing

2671
02:20:28,920 --> 02:20:31,160
Speaker 7: at home against the Warriors one twenty seven to ninety

2672
02:20:31,200 --> 02:20:34,279
Speaker 7: seven in Game three of their second round Western Conference

2673
02:20:34,320 --> 02:20:37,480
Speaker 7: playoff series, where Lebron James didn't have to do a

2674
02:20:37,480 --> 02:20:40,960
Speaker 7: whole lot offensively, and he messed around and nearly had

2675
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:43,680
Speaker 7: a triple double twenty one points, eight rebounds, eight assist,

2676
02:20:43,760 --> 02:20:46,600
Speaker 7: did not attempt a field goal in the opening quarter,

2677
02:20:46,720 --> 02:20:49,640
Speaker 7: but his team helped the cause, and he also got

2678
02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:52,520
Speaker 7: some good news about his son, Bronni James, who announced

2679
02:20:52,520 --> 02:20:56,120
Speaker 7: his commitment to USC to play college basketball there to

2680
02:20:56,160 --> 02:20:58,920
Speaker 7: stay in Los Angeles, where the Lake Show now owns

2681
02:20:58,920 --> 02:21:01,160
Speaker 7: the two games to one lead in the series. Which

2682
02:21:01,200 --> 02:21:03,480
Speaker 7: is what the Heat do and what they have in

2683
02:21:03,520 --> 02:21:05,920
Speaker 7: a two games to one lead over the Knicks. With

2684
02:21:06,160 --> 02:21:10,879
Speaker 7: Miami's win last night in their second round NBA playoff

2685
02:21:10,920 --> 02:21:13,160
Speaker 7: series and of course out on the Eastern Conference, a

2686
02:21:13,160 --> 02:21:15,720
Speaker 7: one to five eighty six Heat over the Knicks, Jimmy

2687
02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:18,920
Speaker 7: Butler nearly thirty points. He had twenty eight and went

2688
02:21:18,959 --> 02:21:22,000
Speaker 7: ten of eleven from the free throw line. As Miami

2689
02:21:22,040 --> 02:21:25,080
Speaker 7: has the edge in this series, and now, as Bernie

2690
02:21:25,120 --> 02:21:28,360
Speaker 7: alluded to, the Oilers come into Vegas and they win

2691
02:21:28,720 --> 02:21:30,640
Speaker 7: five to one against the Golden Knights in a game

2692
02:21:30,720 --> 02:21:34,760
Speaker 7: two second round NHL Postseason. Four of the five goals

2693
02:21:34,760 --> 02:21:37,600
Speaker 7: for Edmonton were scored in the first period. And a

2694
02:21:37,680 --> 02:21:40,080
Speaker 7: series that is booked in due for a whole lot

2695
02:21:40,120 --> 02:21:43,000
Speaker 7: of drama, just two games and it is one to

2696
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:46,720
Speaker 7: one this series score. In Major League Baseball, the Dodgers

2697
02:21:46,760 --> 02:21:48,879
Speaker 7: got a two run home run from Chris Taylor that

2698
02:21:48,959 --> 02:21:52,199
Speaker 7: was the only source of offense with those three hits,

2699
02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:55,680
Speaker 7: Dodgers prevail over the Padres at Petco Park two to one.

2700
02:21:56,200 --> 02:22:00,520
Speaker 7: Rangers over the Angels ten to one. Despite the fact

2701
02:22:00,760 --> 02:22:03,640
Speaker 7: that the Angels have been playing well, it was fifteen

2702
02:22:03,720 --> 02:22:07,360
Speaker 7: hits for Texas that made the difference in the end.

2703
02:22:07,560 --> 02:22:11,480
Speaker 7: Braves over the Orioles five to four, Kevin Palarm notching

2704
02:22:11,520 --> 02:22:14,760
Speaker 7: the pinch hit home run in the eighth, fitting down

2705
02:22:14,840 --> 02:22:17,360
Speaker 7: one then up by one. The Braves would hold on

2706
02:22:17,400 --> 02:22:20,440
Speaker 7: from there with a five to four win against the Orioles.

2707
02:22:20,959 --> 02:22:23,600
Speaker 7: Reds come through against the White Sox five to three.

2708
02:22:24,120 --> 02:22:26,440
Speaker 7: Pirates fall short at home eight to two against the

2709
02:22:26,440 --> 02:22:30,560
Speaker 7: Blue Jays. As Pittsburgh loses a sixth straight, so do

2710
02:22:30,680 --> 02:22:34,080
Speaker 7: the Phillies, despite the fact they did have something to

2711
02:22:34,120 --> 02:22:37,000
Speaker 7: celebrate with Bryce Harper hitting his first home run of

2712
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:39,640
Speaker 7: the year coming off the injured list. The Red Sox, though,

2713
02:22:39,920 --> 02:22:42,520
Speaker 7: continue their hot play with a seven to four win

2714
02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:47,680
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia and lastly, Bernie The Yankees come up with

2715
02:22:47,720 --> 02:22:50,800
Speaker 7: what has been an elusive win anybody playing the Rays

2716
02:22:50,879 --> 02:22:54,199
Speaker 7: considering how well they've been playing, but New York winners

2717
02:22:54,240 --> 02:22:58,240
Speaker 7: three to two. Harrison Vader hit a well he drove

2718
02:22:58,280 --> 02:22:59,959
Speaker 7: in two, I should say, and what was a three

2719
02:23:00,200 --> 02:23:03,680
Speaker 7: run eighth inning? The Yankees going to Tampa Bay, which

2720
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:06,600
Speaker 7: is no easy feat, and they get a win against

2721
02:23:06,640 --> 02:23:10,800
Speaker 7: Tampa three to two, The Razor twenty seven and seven.

2722
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:14,120
Speaker 7: It's amazing, Bernie, considering how low their payroll is, how

2723
02:23:14,200 --> 02:23:19,000
Speaker 7: every year and they have problems filling in their stadium

2724
02:23:19,080 --> 02:23:23,120
Speaker 7: and they still churn out talent and wins. It's just

2725
02:23:23,360 --> 02:23:25,600
Speaker 7: it's a juggernaut over there.

2726
02:23:26,120 --> 02:23:29,199
Speaker 2: All true. Thanks a lot, Brian, and good job tonight, buddy.

2727
02:23:29,720 --> 02:23:30,280
Speaker 7: Thanks Bernie.

2728
02:23:32,160 --> 02:23:36,280
Speaker 2: All right, whether it's World Cup Women's soccer which is

2729
02:23:36,400 --> 02:23:41,640
Speaker 2: sixty days away, MESSI, the Premier League relegation or Wrexham

2730
02:23:41,720 --> 02:23:44,760
Speaker 2: and Ryan Reynolds, there's always something to talk about, and

2731
02:23:44,800 --> 02:23:48,520
Speaker 2: that is why we bring you Chris Burffett's World of Soccer.

2732
02:23:49,920 --> 02:24:05,959
Speaker 11: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international him It's

2733
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:09,199
Speaker 11: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2734
02:24:10,080 --> 02:24:13,280
Speaker 12: In the entirety of the Premier League slate on Saturday,

2735
02:24:13,360 --> 02:24:15,560
Speaker 12: I did not think, of all things, I would probably

2736
02:24:15,560 --> 02:24:20,240
Speaker 12: take the most interest in a match between Liverpool and Brentford.

2737
02:24:20,280 --> 02:24:22,040
Speaker 12: But here we are, and that is where the world

2738
02:24:22,040 --> 02:24:25,720
Speaker 12: of soccer is today. To discuss Liverpool and to discuss

2739
02:24:25,760 --> 02:24:29,879
Speaker 12: what happened at Anfield, because I think several things happened here.

2740
02:24:29,959 --> 02:24:33,200
Speaker 12: I think, first off, the place we should start is

2741
02:24:33,200 --> 02:24:36,520
Speaker 12: with Mohammed Sala as he scores the one goal needed

2742
02:24:36,560 --> 02:24:41,240
Speaker 12: for Liverpool to overcome Brentford. Mohammed sala I think we

2743
02:24:41,320 --> 02:24:43,240
Speaker 12: kind of lose him a bit in the shuffle. He

2744
02:24:43,320 --> 02:24:45,600
Speaker 12: is one of the greatest players in the Premier League.

2745
02:24:45,680 --> 02:24:48,000
Speaker 12: We talk a lot about Harry King, we were talking

2746
02:24:48,000 --> 02:24:50,520
Speaker 12: a lot about Earling Holland coming on up and across

2747
02:24:50,560 --> 02:24:53,760
Speaker 12: the globe, we talk a lot about Christiano Ronaldo, Leonel Messi,

2748
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:57,840
Speaker 12: Killian and Bape. But Mohammed Salah, probably because Egypt missed

2749
02:24:57,879 --> 02:25:00,440
Speaker 12: the World Cup and probably because of some liver pool

2750
02:25:00,640 --> 02:25:03,160
Speaker 12: problems which we will get into, has kind of gotten

2751
02:25:03,200 --> 02:25:05,320
Speaker 12: lost in the shuffle. And he reminded every one of

2752
02:25:05,360 --> 02:25:10,160
Speaker 12: that three records, three records to discuss because that goal

2753
02:25:10,280 --> 02:25:13,600
Speaker 12: against Brentford is now the one hundredth goal he has

2754
02:25:13,680 --> 02:25:19,560
Speaker 12: scored at Anfield, Liverpool's home home grounds. It is also

2755
02:25:20,360 --> 02:25:24,680
Speaker 12: his ninth goal in consecutive games, making the first Liverpool

2756
02:25:24,760 --> 02:25:28,080
Speaker 12: ever to accomplish that. With nine straight games with at

2757
02:25:28,160 --> 02:25:31,200
Speaker 12: least a goal and it is also the goal that

2758
02:25:31,320 --> 02:25:34,680
Speaker 12: allowed him to become the all time goal scorer leader

2759
02:25:35,400 --> 02:25:40,920
Speaker 12: for Egyptian players. On Wednesday, he had tied with the

2760
02:25:40,959 --> 02:25:45,080
Speaker 12: old captain Hassam Hassan in a one to zierl win

2761
02:25:45,200 --> 02:25:49,680
Speaker 12: over Fulham, and Saturday's win goal against Brentford put him

2762
02:25:49,760 --> 02:25:53,360
Speaker 12: squarely in the lead. He has been sensational for Liverpool

2763
02:25:53,720 --> 02:25:56,440
Speaker 12: since the minute he came over from Roma. He now

2764
02:25:56,520 --> 02:25:59,800
Speaker 12: has one hundred and thirty six goals in the Premier League,

2765
02:25:59,840 --> 02:26:04,039
Speaker 12: make him Liverpool's premier score there, and he's won the

2766
02:26:04,120 --> 02:26:06,440
Speaker 12: Champions League. He's won the Premier League, He's won the

2767
02:26:06,520 --> 02:26:10,600
Speaker 12: FA Cup and the League Cup. Is he has one

2768
02:26:10,680 --> 02:26:15,440
Speaker 12: hundred and eighty six strikes for Liverpool. But for Liverpool itself,

2769
02:26:15,480 --> 02:26:18,360
Speaker 12: this game might have just been a little bit of

2770
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:21,520
Speaker 12: too little, too late, as the door continues to shut

2771
02:26:21,520 --> 02:26:25,640
Speaker 12: on Liverpool. It wasn't long ago when Liverpool was the toast,

2772
02:26:26,000 --> 02:26:28,800
Speaker 12: when they were chasing the quadruple. Last year when they

2773
02:26:28,800 --> 02:26:31,520
Speaker 12: were chasing and they won the FA Cup, they won

2774
02:26:31,560 --> 02:26:33,640
Speaker 12: the League Cup or the Carabul Cup as it was called.

2775
02:26:33,879 --> 02:26:36,840
Speaker 12: But then they faltered down the stretch and where it mattered,

2776
02:26:37,040 --> 02:26:41,160
Speaker 12: they gave up the Premier League lead to Manchester City

2777
02:26:41,200 --> 02:26:43,440
Speaker 12: and allowed them to win another title. And then on

2778
02:26:43,480 --> 02:26:45,959
Speaker 12: the twenty eighth of May in Paris, they gave up

2779
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:49,400
Speaker 12: a single goal to Real Madrid which caused them to

2780
02:26:49,440 --> 02:26:53,400
Speaker 12: lose their chance at a Champions League title. Now, as

2781
02:26:53,400 --> 02:26:55,240
Speaker 12: we sit here a few games before the end of

2782
02:26:55,280 --> 02:26:58,360
Speaker 12: the Premier League season, it's not even clear they're going

2783
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:01,600
Speaker 12: to make the Champions League next year. They currently sit

2784
02:27:01,680 --> 02:27:05,680
Speaker 12: a single point behind Manchester United, but Manchester United has

2785
02:27:05,720 --> 02:27:08,240
Speaker 12: two more games in hand to play as the run

2786
02:27:08,280 --> 02:27:11,760
Speaker 12: in becomes a lot closer, a lot fewer games for

2787
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:15,520
Speaker 12: everyone to play, Manchester United going on the road on

2788
02:27:15,600 --> 02:27:19,959
Speaker 12: Sunday to play west Ham United. Even Jurgen Klop, their manager,

2789
02:27:19,959 --> 02:27:24,000
Speaker 12: has admitted that Liverpool probably can't catch man Band you

2790
02:27:24,640 --> 02:27:27,240
Speaker 12: that they will probably have to settle to try to

2791
02:27:27,320 --> 02:27:30,120
Speaker 12: keep a lead on Hotspur and play in Europa League

2792
02:27:30,160 --> 02:27:33,240
Speaker 12: next year and then try to reconfigure all this. But

2793
02:27:33,480 --> 02:27:38,320
Speaker 12: I think that, But I still think Liverpool's future is bright.

2794
02:27:38,760 --> 02:27:41,279
Speaker 12: There's been a lot of talk this past season about

2795
02:27:41,560 --> 02:27:45,039
Speaker 12: if Liverpool can really keep up with the Joneses in

2796
02:27:45,120 --> 02:27:47,760
Speaker 12: the new look of the Premier League, where it's a

2797
02:27:47,800 --> 02:27:50,280
Speaker 12: lot about how much money you are able to spend

2798
02:27:50,440 --> 02:27:53,039
Speaker 12: less than it is about the roster you're able to

2799
02:27:53,040 --> 02:27:56,400
Speaker 12: put out there, and there's been there's been concern from

2800
02:27:56,440 --> 02:28:00,360
Speaker 12: fans and commentators alike that Liverpool just quite on is

2801
02:28:00,360 --> 02:28:04,680
Speaker 12: getting lapped by people like Manchester City or Newcastle United,

2802
02:28:04,720 --> 02:28:07,520
Speaker 12: who became the big shock and his looks poised to

2803
02:28:07,640 --> 02:28:09,800
Speaker 12: join the rest of the Premier League clubs in the

2804
02:28:09,879 --> 02:28:12,920
Speaker 12: Champions League. But already there's transfer news out there. They're

2805
02:28:12,920 --> 02:28:17,959
Speaker 12: targeting Brighton Hove Albion's midfielder Alexis McAllister. And I still

2806
02:28:17,959 --> 02:28:21,640
Speaker 12: believe that Liverpool with manager Jurgen Klop remains one of

2807
02:28:21,680 --> 02:28:24,119
Speaker 12: the stronger clubs in Europe and can find.

2808
02:28:23,879 --> 02:28:25,520
Speaker 4: Their way back to the top.

2809
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:29,360
Speaker 12: There was one more storyline that came out of anfield

2810
02:28:29,400 --> 02:28:31,840
Speaker 12: this weekend and it was maybe one that was a

2811
02:28:31,840 --> 02:28:36,279
Speaker 12: little bit controversial now, as you may have heard Bernie.

2812
02:28:36,320 --> 02:28:40,119
Speaker 12: Ongoing in Britain is the coronation of Charles the Third

2813
02:28:40,160 --> 02:28:43,640
Speaker 12: as the new King of Britain and that has led

2814
02:28:43,720 --> 02:28:46,640
Speaker 12: to the Premier League clubs all trying to agree to

2815
02:28:46,720 --> 02:28:51,480
Speaker 12: play God Save the King before the games on this

2816
02:28:51,560 --> 02:28:54,440
Speaker 12: past weekend, and in Liverpool they happened to have a

2817
02:28:54,480 --> 02:28:57,240
Speaker 12: tradition they don't like God Save the King, and these

2818
02:28:57,240 --> 02:28:59,440
Speaker 12: were the sounds on anfield when God Save the King

2819
02:28:59,560 --> 02:29:14,680
Speaker 12: was tried he played. I'm sure to some of us

2820
02:29:14,760 --> 02:29:17,000
Speaker 12: in America this might seem jarring, why would you boo

2821
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:20,160
Speaker 12: a national anthem? But you have to understand where Liverpool

2822
02:29:20,240 --> 02:29:22,160
Speaker 12: is coming from. It is a time hon or tradition

2823
02:29:22,240 --> 02:29:26,760
Speaker 12: there to boo the national anthem. Liverpool has suffered hardships,

2824
02:29:26,879 --> 02:29:30,520
Speaker 12: especially for a very long time, and in many cases

2825
02:29:30,640 --> 02:29:33,800
Speaker 12: the people of the city don't feel themselves represented in

2826
02:29:33,840 --> 02:29:37,039
Speaker 12: the body politic of the United Kingdom, and especially after

2827
02:29:37,080 --> 02:29:40,640
Speaker 12: de industrialization in the seventies and the Hillsboro tragedy in

2828
02:29:40,680 --> 02:29:43,360
Speaker 12: the eighties, there is a sense that the government really

2829
02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:48,359
Speaker 12: doesn't care about Liverpool end thus the people there return

2830
02:29:48,480 --> 02:29:52,200
Speaker 12: that favor. The booing of the national anthem is an

2831
02:29:52,440 --> 02:29:55,680
Speaker 12: anti establishment protest, but at the same time the rest

2832
02:29:55,680 --> 02:29:58,200
Speaker 12: of Liverpool kind of shares the attitude. There's plenty of

2833
02:29:58,200 --> 02:30:01,560
Speaker 12: people across Britain who maybe flying the Union jack this week,

2834
02:30:01,800 --> 02:30:04,959
Speaker 12: but in Liverpool it is decidedly very different and it's

2835
02:30:05,080 --> 02:30:07,160
Speaker 12: important to remember at the end of the day, for

2836
02:30:07,360 --> 02:30:12,240
Speaker 12: ultras among soccer, for the diehard supporters, most are anti establishment.

2837
02:30:12,280 --> 02:30:13,600
Speaker 4: They don't care about power.

2838
02:30:13,640 --> 02:30:18,359
Speaker 12: To them, watching soccer, supporting their local club, building friendships

2839
02:30:18,400 --> 02:30:22,320
Speaker 12: through the rest of supporters is about building an alternative

2840
02:30:22,440 --> 02:30:26,920
Speaker 12: existence away from governments and powers. And they certainly don't

2841
02:30:26,920 --> 02:30:29,400
Speaker 12: believe that a man in the south of England who

2842
02:30:29,440 --> 02:30:32,080
Speaker 12: is putting on a crown represents them. And to be

2843
02:30:32,080 --> 02:30:34,480
Speaker 12: honest with someone who lives in a country who centuries

2844
02:30:34,520 --> 02:30:38,040
Speaker 12: ago decided they wanted to do away with monarchs, I

2845
02:30:38,080 --> 02:30:41,160
Speaker 12: can respect that. And that is the world of soccer,

2846
02:30:42,080 --> 02:30:42,600
Speaker 12: all right there?

2847
02:30:42,600 --> 02:30:45,720
Speaker 2: It is chrisp Perpfet's World of Soccer every weekend, plenty

02:31:03,320 --> 02:31:06,000

Speaker 2: refresher on the NFL gambling policy. Let's demystify this, it's

2856
02:31:12,400 --> 02:31:15,959
Speaker 2: not that complicated. I'm Bernie fraddlework coming to you live

Speaker 2: Radio for go any further. I think my broadcast team,

2863
02:31:45,280 --> 02:31:48,600
Speaker 2: they've been with me since eleven pm Pacific on Saturday night.

2864
02:31:48,640 --> 02:31:54,080
Speaker 2: Brian Finley on the updates, Patrick Sweeka and Mark Ramsey.

2865
02:31:54,120 --> 02:31:57,800
Speaker 2: Good teamwork, guys, good show tonight, good job. All right.

2866
02:31:58,040 --> 02:32:02,879
Speaker 2: So you heard last week that well these are coming

2867
02:32:02,959 --> 02:32:06,800
Speaker 2: up every week now where you are hearing potential improprieties

2868
02:32:06,800 --> 02:32:09,840
Speaker 2: in gambling, there's not a major issue. Okay. There were

2869
02:32:09,879 --> 02:32:14,160
Speaker 2: four players suspended, two for a year, two for six

2870
02:32:14,240 --> 02:32:17,520
Speaker 2: games in Detroit. There was a fifth player on the

2871
02:32:17,640 --> 02:32:20,880
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. Look, they're what seventeen eighteen hundred players in

2872
02:32:20,879 --> 02:32:26,320
Speaker 2: the National Football League. Here's what I don't understand that

2873
02:32:26,400 --> 02:32:30,959
Speaker 2: while some folks consider the NFL gambling policy so confusing,

2874
02:32:31,000 --> 02:32:34,720
Speaker 2: I want to do you mystify this, including INFL players

2875
02:32:34,959 --> 02:32:36,560
Speaker 2: who stand to lose a hell of a lot of

2876
02:32:36,600 --> 02:32:40,000
Speaker 2: money if they just don't play within the rules. Now, look,

2877
02:32:40,080 --> 02:32:43,360
Speaker 2: let's be honest here, forty to fifty percent of NFL

2878
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:46,840
Speaker 2: players bet. They're human, they're adults, they like entertainment, they

2879
02:32:46,879 --> 02:32:50,199
Speaker 2: are adrenaline junkies. They're allowed to. These are the rules.

2880
02:32:50,320 --> 02:32:52,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'll never forget this is like

2881
02:32:52,440 --> 02:32:53,840
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and four when I was in

2882
02:32:53,920 --> 02:32:57,800
Speaker 2: Troid to come walking in to the Tigers clubhouse before

2883
02:32:57,840 --> 02:33:00,440
Speaker 2: a game, you know, during that window of media access,

2884
02:33:00,440 --> 02:33:02,560
Speaker 2: and they're yelling and screaming and swearing. What the hell's

2885
02:33:02,600 --> 02:33:05,520
Speaker 2: going on in here? They were having their fantasy football draft.

2886
02:33:06,959 --> 02:33:10,480
Speaker 2: So they're human, they're adults, they're gonna bet, They're gonna play. Now,

2887
02:33:11,120 --> 02:33:15,320
Speaker 2: the bottom line is this incident in Detroit actually took

2888
02:33:15,360 --> 02:33:18,199
Speaker 2: place several months ago. It just came to the media

2889
02:33:18,640 --> 02:33:22,480
Speaker 2: or it came to the public spotlight here recently. Let's

2890
02:33:22,480 --> 02:33:27,480
Speaker 2: take just one second to demystify the NFL gambling policy. One,

2891
02:33:27,680 --> 02:33:31,400
Speaker 2: if you are an NFL player, you do not bet

2892
02:33:31,440 --> 02:33:34,720
Speaker 2: on the NFL period, No way, no, how never, not

2893
02:33:34,800 --> 02:33:38,080
Speaker 2: unless you want to be like Calvin Ridley. You don't

2894
02:33:38,120 --> 02:33:40,200
Speaker 2: want to do it. You can't do it period, not

2895
02:33:40,360 --> 02:33:42,920
Speaker 2: during the season, not during the offseason. I don't care

2896
02:33:42,920 --> 02:33:46,360
Speaker 2: if you're in a submarine six thousand feet down below

2897
02:33:46,440 --> 02:33:50,400
Speaker 2: sea level and it's it's the middle of May. Nothing's

2898
02:33:50,440 --> 02:33:54,279
Speaker 2: going on in the NFL. Okay, no, you don't do it. Now.

2899
02:33:55,080 --> 02:33:59,360
Speaker 2: The players can bet on other sports. You want to

2900
02:33:59,400 --> 02:34:02,520
Speaker 2: bet on com football, you want to bet on female

2901
02:34:02,520 --> 02:34:06,039
Speaker 2: full contact road it Corey and Ping pong boxing, have

2902
02:34:06,240 --> 02:34:08,640
Speaker 2: at it. Just don't do it at a team facility.

2903
02:34:09,200 --> 02:34:14,440
Speaker 2: That means a practice facility, team headquarters, the stadium, the

2904
02:34:14,520 --> 02:34:18,440
Speaker 2: Lions practice facility at Island Park, the team playing, the

2905
02:34:18,520 --> 02:34:20,720
Speaker 2: team bus on the way to the hotel, the team hotel.

2906
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:25,080
Speaker 2: Don't do it at work period for any reason simple

2907
02:34:25,120 --> 02:34:27,039
Speaker 2: as that. Don't bet on the NFL. Or if you're

2908
02:34:27,040 --> 02:34:30,880
Speaker 2: gonna bet, do it the hell away from work, away

2909
02:34:30,879 --> 02:34:33,240
Speaker 2: from any of those venues that I just mentioned. It's

2910
02:34:33,320 --> 02:34:37,760
Speaker 2: not that hard. If you drop your guard and let

2911
02:34:37,800 --> 02:34:41,600
Speaker 2: your hair down, you're asking for trouble. Now if obviously

2912
02:34:41,640 --> 02:34:46,720
Speaker 2: the NFL employs, you know, other personnel than just football players.

2913
02:34:47,240 --> 02:34:50,080
Speaker 2: If you're a non player personnel member of the NFL,

2914
02:34:50,640 --> 02:34:53,760
Speaker 2: I don't care. If you're the secretary, the salary cap,

2915
02:34:54,480 --> 02:34:57,000
Speaker 2: you know, guru, the chief cook and bottle washer, the

2916
02:34:57,040 --> 02:35:00,400
Speaker 2: head of pr. You don't bet on anything that that

2917
02:35:00,520 --> 02:35:05,000
Speaker 2: don't work in the NFL. Unfortunately, ignorance of the law

2918
02:35:05,200 --> 02:35:08,880
Speaker 2: is not a defense, and that is why Jamison Williams

2919
02:35:08,879 --> 02:35:11,640
Speaker 2: and Quintess Sephis and some of the other players you

2920
02:35:11,720 --> 02:35:15,200
Speaker 2: heard ran into what they ran into, and Roger Goodell

2921
02:35:15,360 --> 02:35:19,400
Speaker 2: is hyper vigilant about optics. It's an interesting dichotomy, but

2922
02:35:19,440 --> 02:35:22,200
Speaker 2: that's the way it is now. It got a little

2923
02:35:22,240 --> 02:35:25,200
Speaker 2: dicier even this last week because the NFL players, by

2924
02:35:25,200 --> 02:35:27,920
Speaker 2: the way, let me just say this, know this that

2925
02:35:28,120 --> 02:35:31,280
Speaker 2: now more than ever, the Big Brother is watching. The

2926
02:35:31,360 --> 02:35:34,760
Speaker 2: NFL Players Association sent an email to all the agents

2927
02:35:35,680 --> 02:35:39,160
Speaker 2: this last week alerting them to the fact that because

2928
02:35:39,200 --> 02:35:42,959
Speaker 2: the recent suspensions arose from players using their mobile apps

2929
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:45,760
Speaker 2: on their phones, some were at work or some were

2930
02:35:45,760 --> 02:35:50,840
Speaker 2: traveling with their teams. They want to warn the agents

2931
02:35:50,879 --> 02:35:55,600
Speaker 2: that these violations, which are violations of the NFL gambling policy,

2932
02:35:56,200 --> 02:36:00,119
Speaker 2: which is unilaterally imposed by the NFL. This was collect

2933
02:36:00,120 --> 02:36:02,480
Speaker 2: to Lee Bargain that you all know about this. There

2934
02:36:02,480 --> 02:36:04,879
Speaker 2: have been workshops, there have been simposiums. If you don't know,

2935
02:36:04,920 --> 02:36:10,320
Speaker 2: you have been paying attention. The bottom line is these apps,

2936
02:36:10,640 --> 02:36:14,320
Speaker 2: like FanDuel example, they're highly sensitive. They're very sophisticated at

2937
02:36:14,320 --> 02:36:17,680
Speaker 2: tracking you. Among other things, they can track the user

2938
02:36:17,720 --> 02:36:21,480
Speaker 2: location that the people using the app are not prohibited

2939
02:36:21,520 --> 02:36:23,680
Speaker 2: gamblers or they're in an area where they're not supposed

2940
02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:26,240
Speaker 2: to be. What's interesting is the union send it to

2941
02:36:26,280 --> 02:36:30,480
Speaker 2: the agents, not the players themselves. So I guess if

2942
02:36:30,480 --> 02:36:32,959
Speaker 2: something happens, the union can blame the agents and not

2943
02:36:33,040 --> 02:36:36,080
Speaker 2: the players. But look, individual teams have every reason to

2944
02:36:36,120 --> 02:36:38,160
Speaker 2: warn their players about the policy, and they do, but

2945
02:36:38,200 --> 02:36:41,440
Speaker 2: it still happens, and I bet it happens again. It shouldn't.

2946
02:36:41,600 --> 02:36:43,960
Speaker 2: Players who are listening to this, who read this stuff

2947
02:36:44,240 --> 02:36:46,840
Speaker 2: or have been to these symposiums, and you know, make

2948
02:36:46,879 --> 02:36:49,840
Speaker 2: sure you tell your teammates don't gamble on your phone,

2949
02:36:50,240 --> 02:36:53,160
Speaker 2: never on pro football, and never at practice, work, the

2950
02:36:53,200 --> 02:36:56,280
Speaker 2: facility where you're traveling, Chemo hotel, any of that. How

2951
02:36:56,360 --> 02:36:58,880
Speaker 2: hard is that to figure this out? Because when the

2952
02:36:59,000 --> 02:37:01,560
Speaker 2: NFL finds out, and they will because big brothers watching,

2953
02:37:01,760 --> 02:37:04,760
Speaker 2: they will take swift action. They'll take serious action, and

2954
02:37:04,800 --> 02:37:07,959
Speaker 2: it's going to cause you money. And what's interesting is

2955
02:37:08,040 --> 02:37:10,680
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell comes out looking good here because it makes

2956
02:37:11,040 --> 02:37:13,720
Speaker 2: him look like he's He creates the impression that they're

2957
02:37:13,800 --> 02:37:18,080
Speaker 2: proactively enforcing the policy, even if in truth they're sitting back,

2958
02:37:18,280 --> 02:37:22,160
Speaker 2: they're waiting for the sports books to snitch on the players.

2959
02:37:22,480 --> 02:37:26,440
Speaker 2: So do we expect this to happen again? Unfortunately, I

2960
02:37:26,520 --> 02:37:29,520
Speaker 2: think it will because it's been obvious that the NFL

2961
02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:32,240
Speaker 2: is not going out of their way to catch players

2962
02:37:32,240 --> 02:37:35,760
Speaker 2: who gamble in violation of the league policy. And this

2963
02:37:35,800 --> 02:37:38,640
Speaker 2: isn't really you know, Cloak and dag Er stuff, It's

2964
02:37:38,640 --> 02:37:41,680
Speaker 2: really not that big a deal. You heard the situation

2965
02:37:41,800 --> 02:37:45,360
Speaker 2: with the Alabama football basket baseball coach, and it's my understanding.

2966
02:37:45,959 --> 02:37:48,119
Speaker 2: My sources tell me he did not bet on the game,

2967
02:37:48,640 --> 02:37:50,960
Speaker 2: but he had a conversation with a guy to sportsbook

2968
02:37:50,959 --> 02:37:54,879
Speaker 2: and Cincinnati. Information was exchanged allegedly, which led him to

2969
02:37:54,879 --> 02:37:57,760
Speaker 2: try to make a large wager, and the camera zoomed in.

2970
02:37:57,800 --> 02:37:59,200
Speaker 2: They knew who he was on the phone with, and

2971
02:37:59,240 --> 02:38:01,959
Speaker 2: you saw what happens the poor guy's job. This is

2972
02:38:02,200 --> 02:38:06,480
Speaker 2: serious business. Ironically, the NFL thrives on gambling in its popularity,

2973
02:38:06,879 --> 02:38:09,280
Speaker 2: but they don't want the players to get involved because

2974
02:38:09,320 --> 02:38:11,600
Speaker 2: of the optics. That's gonna do it for the Bernie

2975
02:38:11,640 --> 02:38:14,039
Speaker 2: Frattle Show back next Friday night. In the meantime, keep

2976
02:38:14,080 --> 02:38:17,240
Speaker 2: it locked right here, for the great Andy Furman on

2977
02:38:17,360 --> 02:38:18,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio,
