I love hey, Carrie, Hi 24 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: dam So Isaac just just ended up wrapping up with 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: a headline talking about the NFL and Major League Baseball's 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: world's kind of colliding is the World Series has released 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: their schedule for October and the World Series. The first 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: headline was the World Series is not going to do 29 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: a flex start. That doesn't mean anything. All that means 30 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: is this is they're gonna set up. They're gonna start 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: on a set date. That's what it means. And that 32 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: set date is Friday, October twenty fourth. There was the 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: thought Kerry, if the League Championship Series ended early, maybe 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: they won't want the World Series early, so there wasn't 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: as much leg time. They're not going to do that. 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: They're just going to say, hey, October twenty fourth, Friday, 37 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: that's when Game one of the World Series is going 38 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: to be. And the reason why I think it's very 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: newsworthy and noteworthy is because of all of the dominoes 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: that follow that. So then Game two gets to be 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: played on Saturday, and then Sunday day off for travel. 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: Then they play Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday day off for Thursday nights, Friday, 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: Saturday and the series is wrapped up. They completely carry 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: have avoided the NFL sans a Monday night football game. 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: They've ditched both Sundays that could have conflicted depending on 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: when the series would start. And they also, because of 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: the off day, have started to avoid a Thursday night 48 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: where you could have the game on Amazon maybe outright 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: the National Football League, but it is it's amazing to 50 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: me to see the power of the NFL because now 51 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is really dealing with it at its 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: full extent, where they're saying, our biggest product, the World Series, 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: we are going to do everything we can humanly possibly 54 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: do to avoid going up against any NFL game in 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: the middle of their season. 56 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 5: So what you're telling me right now is America's past time? 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 5: Is now past time? 58 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: You like that? 59 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 5: I like that, I'm here laws from the audience, I'm here. 60 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 5: I'm here all day. 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want, they are standing for carry Rhoades. 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I like to thank my mom 63 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 5: c gave birth to me. 64 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: And now I'm hearing this moment. 65 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 5: You know, a lot of things happen, but right now 66 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 5: I'm in the space. But no, seriously, it's about that 67 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 5: we know that right now, football is overtaking every other 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 5: sport here in America, right and so if you can 69 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 5: avoid those those conflicting times, it was smart by baseball. 70 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 5: I don't want to say they were scared. I'm not 71 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 5: going to say that. I'm gonna say they were smart 72 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 5: with the way they scheduled it. But again, football is 73 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 5: here to stay. It's a power. Good on, Good on 74 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 5: Baseball for doing it. 75 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: I want to get I want to get into the 76 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: because this actually, as this water fall of information trickles down, 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: it goes into other things. It goes into college football, 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: that goes into holidays, it goes into our lives. 79 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 5: Right. 80 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: But just kind of a general question on that and 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: to what Roger goodellas said to their competing do you 82 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: foresee a time in the next twenty years where football 83 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: takes a step back, the next twenty years where we're like, hey, 84 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: what's going on with the NFL as this business model? 85 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: I think twenty years is a good window. Hopefully, Knockunwood, 86 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: both you and I are here to look back at 87 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: the throw point, right, But do you think in the 88 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: next twenty years at any point you could see the 89 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: NFL maybe just get too big? And take a step back. 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 91 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 5: And the reason I say that is because of it's 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: had ample opportunities for that to be the case. We've 93 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: had legal things, We've had former NFL players fighting the 94 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 5: league to get money, and head cases and all. I mean, 95 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 5: it's been so much that's been kind of encased in 96 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: I guess the demise for the demise of the NFL, 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 5: and it just hasn't happened. I think we as humans, 98 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 5: as Americans, we sit here and whenever we get a 99 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 5: chance to get a break from reality, we get a 100 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 5: chance to watch guys go out there and kill each 101 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 5: other on the field and make impressive plays. 102 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: We're all for that. 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 5: And I think it's just been proven that no thing 104 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 5: outside of that sport can actually make that ship sink. 105 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 5: And so, I mean we've had things where NFL PA 106 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 5: guys are making money on the side and taking advantage 107 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 5: of the situations. So it just I don't see it 108 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 5: being a viable option. 109 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: I know that, Yeah, the Players Association probably wants more 110 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: of that pie would I look at and I just 111 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: look at the NFL. I remember a long time ago 112 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: when you would go to NFL dot com and you 113 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: would have to click on certain tabs, You'd have to 114 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: click on certain hole down menus and things, and the 115 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: things that I'm talking about, specifically fantasy football. You would 116 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: have to search to find stuff with fantasy football. And 117 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: now the NFL in a way is throwing it at you. 118 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Here's fantasy football. I feel fantasy football within the last 119 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years gave the NFL such a lifeline 120 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: because it's become so huge. And we had COVID five 121 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: years ago in the NFL coming back as normal as 122 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: it could be, even though it didn't have fans, but 123 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: our Sundays were back being It was such a huge 124 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: boost at a time when you know we're also in 125 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: a spot where there's a lot of stuff going on. 126 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: Prior to that was the Colin Kaepernick situation where you 127 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: have people saying I'm not going to watch the NFL 128 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: like I feel like COVID almost gave them a new 129 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: life in that aspect. And then now was sports betting 130 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: and gambling being illegal in states, it's given another level. 131 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: We at the news desk where Isaac Lohenkron is sitting, 132 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: I was talking with one of our anchors this weekend 133 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: and I said, it's crazy because you think that you 134 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: could get by just bringing stats for preseason games, because 135 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: that's really all that mattered. How should our Sanders do right, 136 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: How did quin Ewers do with the Dolphins? How did 137 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: you know to Ado in that game against the Bears? 138 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: All of that stuff is relevant, But people now bet 139 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: on preseason games, so we almost have to give the 140 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: score because that's what people want to know. Did their 141 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: pick cover the spread at that point in what is 142 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: a meaningless preseason game when nobody knows the players. So 143 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: even in these times where we think it can take 144 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: a step back, it gets this this jolt of energy, 145 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: and I just am wondering what's the next jolt of 146 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: energy to come along to continue the NFL in this 147 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: dominant force where they've taken away Christmas Day from the NBA, 148 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: and now Major League Baseball is scheduling the World Series 149 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: around what the NFL is doing, and that previously wasn't 150 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: the case. 151 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 5: Just think about this. They've changed so many things regarding 152 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 5: the rules, player safety, the physicality in the game. You thought, okay, 153 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 5: defenses can't hit anybody. That's gonna take people away from 154 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 5: the game. Nope, we're going to change the kickoff rule 155 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 5: and take away the exciting part of special teams, and 156 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: you know, make them have to fair catch it and 157 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 5: get the ball the thirty yard line to target, like 158 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 5: all these things that you have to learn again as 159 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: a fan, that that didn't set it back, Like, I 160 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 5: don't see there being anything or I mean, right now 161 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 5: they're working on the computer thing where you can just 162 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 5: look at the screen and see what the first down is. 163 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 5: Like all these gimmicks and things they're trying to add 164 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 5: to enhance it, some of them are really stupid. Sure, 165 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 5: it just and it does not take away from the game. 166 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 5: So I just don't know if it will ever be 167 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 5: a time that happens. 168 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: There's so many different ways to enjoy it. Yep, they're 169 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: probably going to add an eighteenth game at some point 170 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: or another. I know, as crazy as it is, man, 171 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: I don't even I thought at one point that that 172 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: could be the bubble burst, because I do think seventeen games. 173 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't think people realize how long that it actually is. 174 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: I thought that the extra week has added quite a bit. 175 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Now if you go at eighteen weeks, you're likely going 176 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: to have multiple bye weeks. So now you're adding not 177 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: only another regular season game. You're adding on another week, 178 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: so it's going to take up much of the calendar. 179 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: But I think, for whatever reason, I don't think it's 180 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: going to have an effect on how people watch and 181 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: how people consume, and they'll just continue to want more 182 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: and more and more and more. Where to your point, 183 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is like, Okay, let's have a pitch clock, 184 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, let's let's do this, Let's have you know this, 185 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: this base be bigger, let's try to do that. You know. 186 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: The NBA has tried to fight it, and now I 187 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: think they're just almost at the mercy of whatever the 188 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: NFL does, you know, wants to do on say, a 189 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: holiday like Christmas, And they prove that they can play 190 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: on Wednesday last year. So when that happens in the 191 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: next calendar year, the next eight years, or whenever we 192 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: get another Wednesday, we're going to have it. But it's 193 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: no matter what the NFL does, it turns to gold. 194 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: While all these other leagues are just fine trying to 195 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: find ways to keep their head above water. 196 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 5: Do you think there's gonna be a football game every 197 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 5: day of the week at some point? 198 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: No, Okay, I think that would hurt them and I 199 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: will also say this because this is the part of 200 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: this World Series schedule. I'm glad that you brought that 201 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: up because people do have lives in the fall. People 202 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: have lives every season, but fall is different to schools 203 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: in session. It's just a different feel. I also feel 204 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: that Friday night football, which is brought up because now 205 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: the NFL is saying, oh, we'll play on Friday night 206 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: of a season opening game, people are like, wait a second. 207 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: Like last year when the Packers played the Eagles. Yeah, 208 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: back home in Wisconsin, it was crazy to see people 209 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: being like, oh, are you going to watch the Packer game? 210 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: Are you going to go to the local high school game? 211 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: And I would imagine it's probably the same around the 212 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City area and in Missouri this year, of like 213 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: are you gonna watch the Chiefs on Friday Night in 214 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: the season opener? Are you gonna go to the local 215 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: high school game? The NFL don't care, doesn't matter, and 216 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: high schools usually are wrapped up by Thanksgiving anyway for 217 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: high school football, so like a Black Friday game doesn't 218 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: necessarily matter. But the NFL has shown that they'll go 219 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: to those spots. I just think going to every single 220 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: day would just be too much. Then there isn't that 221 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: specialty of Sunday, even though Sundays got a little less 222 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: oomph as it you know, maybe had ten years ago. 223 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: But I think every single day would be a little 224 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: too much. It's wait too much. 225 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 5: But I mean just right now, where we got a Monday, 226 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 5: we had. 227 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 6: A Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday games in the in 228 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 6: the yeah not too far yeah, early winter, Yeah, taking over. 229 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: They will conflict with the college football playoff. They don't 230 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: care about that. They are full steam ahead. Did that? 231 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: Did that mess with you as a player, having the 232 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: different days of playing and playing on a Thursday, maybe 233 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: a play on a Monday in a short week. 234 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 5: Yes, Thursday, Thursday is tough. I mean if you play 235 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 5: a game on Sunday and which which has happened? You 236 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 5: play Thursday and you come back and play I mean 237 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 5: Sunday and you come back and play Thursday. 238 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous. 239 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 5: I mean for an older guy, Sunday, you play the 240 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 5: game Monday Tuesday like you're legit, you're in recovery mode. 241 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 5: But when you're getting ready to play a game Thursday, 242 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 5: you gotta be a recovery slash getting ready to play, 243 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 5: and it's a lot we played. We played a game 244 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 5: when I was in Arizona against the car against the 245 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 5: Rams when they were still in Saint Louis, and we 246 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 5: played at home, so we had to travel. Obviously, we 247 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 5: had to travel to Saint Louis. You have that short week, 248 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 5: you have that travel as well. It's just we stood 249 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 5: no chance. We got blown out and we didn't even care. 250 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 5: It was like, yep, we lost. It's almost like the 251 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 5: NBA with the scheduling loss. That's what it comes down 252 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 5: to when you when you do Sunday to Thursday, when 253 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 5: you have. 254 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: A back to back and you're just kind of like, 255 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: all right, we just need to win one of these two. 256 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna hunt on the other one and just move 257 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: on from that. It is it is a complete I mean, 258 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: is a please take over by the NFL. I'll make 259 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: this note about the World Series. I don't know if 260 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: the guys want to jump in or out. Let me 261 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: know if you do the World Series. And I looked 262 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: this up and a producer, Bo Benson was with me. 263 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: I said, I can guarantee you I will look thirty 264 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: years ago and there will not be a Sunday night 265 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: football game scheduled in mid to late October because of 266 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: the World Series. So we just took nineteen ninety three, 267 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: looked it up. Sure enough, October seventeenth, nineteen ninety three, 268 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: there was no Sunday night football game because that night 269 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: carry was Game two of the World Series between the 270 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: Phillies and Blue Jays, and the year prior, when the 271 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: Blue Jays faced the Atlanta Braves, there was no Sunday 272 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: night game because the NFL said Major League Baseball, we're 273 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: not competing with that. We do not want to compete 274 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: with the World Series. Now, there could have been a schedule, 275 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: and I think there may have been some points where 276 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: there was a Game seven that could fall on a 277 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: Sunday and you would have a conflict because of an 278 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: ESPN Sunday night game because that's when football aired on 279 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: Sunday night, and TNT actually had some Sunday night games 280 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: as well. Wow, there was yeah, crazy enough. Yeah, you 281 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: didn't even know that. 282 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 5: I didn't know that. 283 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: But the NFL had one weekend whether we're not going 284 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: to do a Sunday night primetime game to conflict with 285 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Then they said, well, we don't care 286 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: about Major League Baseball. We're just going to schedule anyway. 287 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: Now it's just completely done a one eighty where Major 288 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: League Baseball has to change their schedule, Carrie. It was 289 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two the Major League Baseball started the 290 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: World Series on a Friday for the first time since 291 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: nineteen fifteen. It was over one hundred years where they 292 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: had their schedule, like starting on a Friday. Mix You're 293 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: in the media business, Yeah, Friday night TV, and it's 294 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: not TGIF anymore with ABC, Like you want to be 295 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: in the primetime windows of like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Like 296 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: Friday night's not a great night for TV. Major League 297 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: Baseball says, well, that's how we avoid the NFL, Like 298 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: that's how which they've taken it over. 299 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: Isaac longcrom Yeah, you bring up a really, really great 300 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: point because if you go back the famous nineteen eighty 301 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: six World Series between the Mets and the Red Sox 302 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: with Buckner and Stuff, Game seven of that World Series 303 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: was rained out on a Sunday, so it was actually 304 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: played on a Monday night at the same time as 305 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: Monday Night Football, and the World Series outdrew Monday Night 306 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: Football by a factor of three, so three times as 307 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: many people watched Game seven of the World Series as 308 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: compared to Monday Night Football. And I honestly think that 309 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: if that happened like this year, it might almost be 310 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: completely reversed. 311 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right. Even if it was you know, 312 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: the Titans and Patriots like like, we're still like, like, 313 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: let's see how Cam Moore does Mike Vrabel's revenge. Like, 314 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: we will talk ourselves into anything to make anything exciting 315 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, even if it comes at 316 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: the expense of another sports or the sports marquee event 317 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: in that being the World Series. Bo Benson, would you like. 318 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 7: To know the NFL games that Major League Baseball is avoiding? 319 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, please? 320 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 7: Week eight Sunday, October twenty sixth is Packers at Steelers. Yep, 321 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 7: So I can see why they would want to avoid that, 322 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 7: And then theoretically November two would be Seahawks at Commanders. 323 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, of course everybody wants to see Sam Carnald. 324 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: They are not gonna mess with that. Yeah. The Packers, Steelers, 325 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the Brewers run the World Series. They meant 326 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: and even show up, and they've you know, I haven't 327 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: been there since eighty two, they may stay home and 328 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: watch the Packers. Just kidding, but that is that's that's 329 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: a very fair point, wow of the marquee matchups, and 330 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: plus that's you know, a prime spot late October, you know, 331 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: in the thick of the fall, Pittsburgh and the Packers. Yeah, 332 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball says, no thanks, We'll start on a Friday. 333 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: We'll have Game six, maybe end on a Friday. It's 334 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: it's just amazing on how dominant the National Football League 335 00:16:59,520 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: can be. 336 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 5: The crazy part about watching that game, watching the World 337 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 5: Series game on a Friday, you can be out. You 338 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 5: don't need sounds, so no worries. Yeah, it'd be the 339 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 5: NFL game. 340 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 7: That the World Series will compete with is Monday Night Football, 341 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 7: October twenty seventh. Commanders at Chiefs. 342 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: Well, we know there won't be any conflict with the 343 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: Royals and Nationals playing, so there will be no local 344 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: mix up there. But all of the non partial fans 345 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: for those markets can have their choice of the NFL. 346 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: They won't be directed towards one way or the other. 347 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: That's yeah, gosh, that have to be a really really 348 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: good game. Chris Purfett I. 349 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 4: Just I'm always amazed at what and I've always tried 350 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 4: to pinpoint when exactly that flip happened, where it's like 351 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 4: the NFL had to avoid Baseball, but now Baseball has 352 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 4: to avoid the NFL. I think we just kind of 353 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 4: take for granted just that the NFL has been dominant 354 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 4: for so long, but it's just used to not be 355 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: that way, and it just it's fantastic how it's flipped. 356 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if or maybe Isaac can even track 357 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: down when the NFL started to schedule a Sunday night game. 358 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: I know I looked on Pro Football Reference to find 359 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety three regular season schedule, Yeah, to find 360 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: out because I knew they didn't schedule a Sunday night game. 361 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: It was a weird thing because you would have six 362 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: weeks of games and then all of a sudden, you'd 363 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: be like, wait, there's no Sunday night gam You'd be like, oh, 364 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: that's because the World Series is going to be on. 365 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: But so at some point the NFL said, like, we're 366 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: not going to be taking off a World Series night anymore. 367 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 7: Grain of salt, but Google AI says twenty ten. 368 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So but it's kind of recently. 369 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 4: It's kind of like with the Christmas Day game for 370 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 4: the NBA, it's like, all right, well we don't you know, 371 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 4: we'll'll watch out for that. But all of a sudden 372 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 4: something flipped in the NFL. It's like, wait a minute, 373 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 4: we could have this one too. 374 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: And not to get too into the weeds here, but 375 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: in about two thousand and five, the NFL made a 376 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: dramatic change to its TV package when they got Sunday 377 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: Night Football back to NBC and they moved Monday Night 378 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 2: Football from ABC to ESPN. And what happened was is 379 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: the prime time event that would get the better matchups 380 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 2: was moved from ABC's Monday Night Football to NBC Sunday 381 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: Night Football. That's when Madden went over to NBC. So 382 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: by that time that started the domino of Sunday Night 383 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: Football getting the prime time number one scheduling matchup when 384 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: it used to be on Monday nights. So that I 385 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: think was a symptom of what happened in twenty ten 386 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: because you were getting better matchups. 387 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 4: But it also has to come with again that symptom 388 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 4: of like the NFL thinking to itself, wait a minute, 389 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 4: we no longer have to compete with baseball. We own 390 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: this spot. This is not something where Baseball can even 391 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 4: hold a candle to us anymore. We own this time. 392 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: Baseball has to count owt to us. 393 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a takeover and hobnestly. I'm sure Major League 394 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: Baseball avoided that Monday night game because of a Saturday 395 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: Sunday start, but there almost seemed to be like a 396 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: bit of a friendly agreement between the sides. And I'm 397 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: not even sure maybe Isaac would even know this, but 398 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there was a time where the World Series 399 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: was on ABC and then you would have ABC Monday 400 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: Night Football, so there could be conflicts in that way 401 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: as well. But I do know that the NFL did 402 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: keep that window open and they wouldn't schedule games. And 403 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: then when they're TV partners, maybe in a new TV deal, 404 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: maybe that's when it was in twenty ten, they said 405 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: all right, we'll just start the schedule games and they 406 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: ended up completely taking it over. 407 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, the last time ABC had a World Series was 408 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 2: a one off in nineteen ninety five. The last time 409 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 2: they were regularly part of the rotation was in nineteen 410 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: eighty nine. But you guys brought up a really interesting 411 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: other thing that made me remember this. Maybe it was 412 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: two or three years ago when Joe Buck was the 413 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: lead voice of the NFL and also the lead voice 414 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: of baseball on Fox before he moved to ESPN. He 415 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: actually was put on an NFL regular season game instead 416 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: of Game seven of the National League Championship Series one year, 417 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: and that never would have happened. 418 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, You're right, And I'm kind of just 419 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: scrolling through as we're talking here. I'm up to I 420 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: think Bo's number is about right because I got to 421 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, and again there was no Sunday 422 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: night game that was scheduled that weekend for the World Series. 423 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: I'll say this, and I'm looking at a screen right now, 424 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: and I think where on the Big Ten network it 425 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: as the Iowa Football preview. This doesn't like the NFL 426 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: is super powerful and the NFL can do what it wants, 427 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: and you would think that maybe it's the sport of football. 428 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: But when Fox recently said we're going to put Big 429 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: Ten games on Friday night, you would not have believed 430 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: the uproar in places like Iowa, my home state of Wisconsin, Illinois, 431 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: where high school football. I think high school football in 432 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: any state is a big deal Alabama. But yeah, absolutely so. 433 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't even want to say it because it's not 434 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: a Midwest thing. The only reason I bring it up 435 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: is because it's Big Ten football and now they we're 436 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: going to be moving Big Ten games to Friday nights. 437 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: And when you have, like say on Iowa team that 438 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: has eight home games a year, you build your weekend 439 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: about that. You don't want it to conflict with your 440 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: high school football matchup that's going on in those towns. 441 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: So there is more uproar about like Fox trying to 442 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: put college football on a Friday night than there ever 443 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: has been of the NFL trying to take over the FEL. 444 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: Just as his bull bowzer and moves everybody like, I 445 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: felt like Fox and the Big Ten got more pushback 446 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: from all these high schools and other communities because of 447 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: the TV package because they started to play some Friday 448 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: night games. 449 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it's absurd. I mean, obviously, it's a 450 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 5: money thing. It's a money it's not even just the 451 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 5: dominance thing. It's we can do this, we want to 452 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 5: make money. We're going to continue to make money at 453 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 5: an absurd clip, and you're going to be on board 454 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 5: with it. It doesn't matter what we do. And I think 455 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 5: that's the moral of the story. 456 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: Guys, if you. 457 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 5: Get money and you get power, use it. And they've 458 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 5: used it very well. 459 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: He's carry rhads the All Pro I'm Dan Byer in 460 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: for Cavino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio.

Michael Porter Junior was on 505 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: the One Night with Steiny podcast and there was a 506 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: lot that was there. We find out that Michael Porter 507 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: Junior's vice is women like for most men, true right, 508 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: just like Tiger Woods, all right right in his his scenario. 509 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: But it was something else that Michael Porter Junior said 510 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: that was interesting in the One Night with Steiny podcast 511 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: that had to deal with this brother, Jhonte Porter, who 512 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: got busted for gambling and altering. I don't know if 513 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: it's fixing NBA games, but he's fixing his own stat line, 514 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Michael Porter Junior on gambling in sports. 515 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: Take a listen to this. 516 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 9: Think about it. If you could get all your homies 517 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 9: rich by telling him, Yo, ten thousand dollars on my 518 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 9: under You know this one game, I'm gonna act like 519 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 9: I got an injury. I'm gonna sit out, I'm gonna 520 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 9: come out after three minutes and they all get a 521 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 9: little bad because you did it one game like that 522 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 9: is so not okay. But some people probably think like that. 523 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 9: They come from nothing and all their homies have nothing, 524 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 9: and they're like, Bro, if I come out of this 525 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 9: game after three minutes and y'all all hit on my under, 526 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 9: we're all getting a little bag. 527 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's the problem. That's why they get flagged 528 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: for irregular betting, because who's going to bet on the 529 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: Jonte Porter under or the Terry Rose year under if 530 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: you're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars? Like I get 531 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: the thought process. You want to help out your guys 532 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: and you don't want it to come out of your pocket. 533 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: Why not have it come out of somebody else's pocket. Yeah, 534 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: I just don't think that you're saying that out loud. 535 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: And that's what's so shocking for Michael Porter Junior especially. 536 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: I guess he's trying to stand up for his brother 537 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: in a way. That's a weird way of doing it. 538 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: When you're still playing in the NBA. 539 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 5: Stop trying to be cool and stop saying nonsense on 540 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 5: podcast like that's official media now, Like people think they're 541 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 5: sitting in podcasts having a conversation with their friend and 542 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 5: it's not going to get out to the world. And 543 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 5: it's like, dude, you're in the NBA. We already have 544 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 5: our own claims and feelings about you know, some of 545 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 5: the games, and when you bet the under and the 546 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 5: team scores at the last second because they know that 547 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 5: the unders whatever they underheads like you're all you're doing 548 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 5: is substantiating that claim for us. And so for me, 549 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 5: when these players come out and say these things, I 550 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 5: just want to I literally I want to slap them, 551 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 5: like I want to slap some sense in them and 552 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 5: be like, look, listen, we know that we know how 553 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 5: you feel, and we know that we have these conversations 554 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 5: at home or whatever thing may be. But this is 555 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 5: still a national medium now. Podcasts are out there for 556 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 5: the world to consume. And so when you say things 557 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 5: like this, and especially a guy like Porter who hasn't 558 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 5: really reached his potential, his capability capabilities as a player, 559 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 5: like focus on that. Stop being cool and saying the 560 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 5: things that you think people want to hear, because that 561 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 5: just doesn't fly. 562 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't sit well. 563 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 5: And then with your teammates, like if you're on your 564 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 5: team and you're trying to go out and win a game, 565 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 5: and you know that this person may have the capabilities 566 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 5: of telling this homeboy, look, I'm going to get the 567 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 5: under tonight, so bet on this. 568 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: Like that's crazy to me. I'm gonna play Devil's advocate. 569 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Devil's advocate. Okay, Stray diffident because I 570 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: think these comments are what But I will say when 571 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: we just talked about twenty minutes ago about scheduling and 572 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: talking about back to back games of the NBA and 573 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: teams throwing away a game, just being like, all right, 574 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: well we're not going to throw in the towel. There 575 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be much harm in that. If you're Jhonte Porter 576 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: and saying, well, this is a game where I'm getting 577 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: minutes anyway, because all the starters are resting, they're not 578 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: playing the back to back, this would be the opportunity 579 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: to do that. So if you're likely going to lose 580 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: anyway because the team's kind of thrown in the towel, 581 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't this be a way to get your guys some cash. 582 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: I think it's absurd. I'm just like saying, like we 583 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: think of the sanctity of the game, and we held 584 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: it to this high regard. But again, if you're going 585 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: in on a back to back saying you're not going 586 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: to win one of the games anyway, then you know, 587 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: is it really held in that high of a regard. 588 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: If teams are folding just to try to keep their 589 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: players healthy. 590 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 5: Well, the thing is, you're not going into that game 591 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 5: saying you're not going to win, now, you just you're 592 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 5: being honest with where you stand and where you are 593 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 5: as a team. Right, you played on Sunday and you're 594 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 5: going to Thursday in Saint Louis to play a game, 595 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 5: and all of us are banged up, Like it's a 596 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 5: high probability that it is going to be tough to 597 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 5: get a win. 598 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a different story. Yeah, I think it's 599 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: a different story in the NBA when you see those 600 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: graphics when you're like, oh, it's gonna be one of 601 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: these nights when you have five new starters and you're like, well, 602 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: he have ages two points a game, why is he 603 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: starting at the four right? So like in that game, 604 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: like it's kind of already a lost cause for the team. 605 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: They're probably gonna get blown out anyway. I'm not advocating 606 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: any of this, it's not I'm just I'm just trying 607 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: to say, Like we sit there and we say, like, 608 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: the people who are getting screwed in this scenario that 609 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior is talking about are are the sports books? Yes, 610 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: that as well. Like in that situation, the fans have 611 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: already found out their team is going to lose because 612 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: they're playing five reserves guys who never get minutes, and 613 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: a couple of guys that get called up from the 614 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: If they were to happen to win that game, it 615 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: would only be a bonus, but fans would normally take 616 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: that as a loss. In fact, the organization would take 617 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: that as a loss. The people that are getting screwed 618 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: are the ones that are the sportsbooks who have to 619 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: pay out that money that everybody loaded up on because 620 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: they knew so and so was going to duck out 621 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: with a low total. 622 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 5: Well what makes me upset about it for real, though, is, 623 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 5: like I said, Michael porter jun is a really really 624 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 5: he's a good player in the league, right, And so 625 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 5: I mean you go onto a game and you're expecting, 626 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 5: you know, him to come out and play the way 627 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 5: up to his potential. And then you have these nights 628 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 5: and obviously these knights happen organically, but now that always 629 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 5: brings a question is it happening organically or is he 630 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 5: telling his homeboys to bet the under tonight? And so 631 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 5: that part of it, just the conflicting ideologies of it, 632 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 5: just doesn't really sit well with me at all. 633 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't sit well with people as well. As I'm 634 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: no longer playing Devil's advocate, I will step out of 635 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: that role. 636 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 5: Get out of their dance. 637 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: Stop it. It doesn't sit well when Michael Porter has a 638 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: five year, one hundred and eighty million dollar deal, Nope, 639 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: and it's talking about getting his guys ten thousand, right, 640 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 641 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 5: It's it's ludicrous to talk about like you can. 642 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: Just give him twenty grand and then if to bet right, 643 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: that's it. 644 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, So you're gonna try to beat the system and 645 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 5: try to do this thing that you think is kind 646 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 5: of cool and slick. And that's the part of. 647 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: He says the things that we talk about, Yeah, we 648 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: talk about amongst ourselves who are not in the game, right, 649 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: And that's where the line was crossed. 650 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 5: Yes, he's in the business. How can you say that 651 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 5: when you're in the business and you're in the business 652 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 5: of winning and doing your job to the best of 653 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 5: your ability. 654 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: I know you're not on Blue Sky I am at Empire, 655 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: but are you on TikTok? You're not on TikTok I am. 656 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: I think all of us here are, at least in 657 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 1: some form. My favorite, it's one of my favorite tiktoks 658 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: is the guy who put all of his life savings 659 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: on red. You've seen that on Roulette from like probably 660 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: like nineteen ninety three or something like that, and it's 661 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: it's got people around him. Guy at one hundred and 662 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars put it all on red and he 663 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: hits like that's but that is kind of also the 664 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: thinking of of of the gambler and all of this 665 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: is you just think, well if I hit this one yep. 666 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: And for these guys, they're like, well, this is the 667 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: sure thing, then my life can change. And so there's 668 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: a way that their life could change if Michael Porter 669 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: Junior gave them one hundred thousand dollars of his one 670 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million dollars. It's not life altering money, 671 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: but it sure would help out in that situation, but 672 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: like there's always that this is this is why people 673 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: like go down that rabbit hole. The only the only 674 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: people outside of the sports books that would be screwed 675 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: would be the people who bet the over on those nights, 676 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: and those people have a reason to be really mad 677 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: at Michael Porter June. 678 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 5: Exactly, and again ten thousand.

His brother isn't even that paid yet, 696 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 5: so he's probably doing it for his brother as well. 697 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: Kind of they said, could anybody say this except a Porter, 698 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: Rogier or Beasley?

Have you been keeping tabs on the NBA 727 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: schedule releases, the leaks that have been coming out. 728 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 5: I got a couple, you know, there's a couple of 729 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 5: the Dallas and sentence a Yo game one that stuff 730 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 5: paid attention to. 731 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: That that's a Wednesday night opener, part of the ESPN 732 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: package that Wednesday night, Thursday night opener on ESPN Wednesday, 733 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: it will be Cavs and Knicks. Spurs and MAVs follow that. 734 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: Then on Thursday it's Oklahoma City and the Pacers in 735 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: a finals rematch, and then Denver and Golden State. Last 736 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: week we had the news that the opening night on 737 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: NBC would feature the Rockets and Thunder and Warriors and Lakers, 738 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: and then we had the Christmas matchups as well. Coming 739 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: out what I thought it was interesting with the Christmas 740 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: matchups was that it was so heavily dominated by the 741 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: Western Conference. There's just one Eastern Conference game, and that 742 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference game is Cavaliers and Knicks. You know what 743 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: I dare we may have to get the stager out 744 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: Bo Benson for what I'm about to say, because as 745 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: the more I thought about it, the more I realize 746 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: this falls under the umbrella of we. 747 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,479 Speaker 11: Watched twenty twenty five. I'm watched twenty twenty five. 748 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: Why are the Cavaliers so highly regarded in these matchups? 749 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: I know they were the number one seed, but I'm 750 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: not dying to watch Cavalier basketball. Giannis is still in Milwaukee, 751 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: Desmond Baine was brought in by Orlando, and now you 752 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: have the Magic as a legitimate team. I don't care 753 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: what you say about Boston. There's still the Celtics, even 754 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: if Jason Tatum is injured, and you have the seventy 755 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: six ers. Be the seventy six ers. Why is the 756 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: NBA shoving the Cavaliers down our throat when no other 757 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference team outside of the Knicks is seemingly getting 758 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: any run. The reason is this, This is the reason I. 759 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 11: Watched twenty twenty five. I'm watched twenty twenty five. 760 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: Lebron somehow ends up in Cleveland between now and late September, 761 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: they will have their bases cover out. That's what you're thinking. 762 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: It's the only reason why they're shoving Evan Mobley and 763 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: Spider Mitchell down our throats. That's gotta be the only 764 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: reason why that just maybe Lebron will leave and be 765 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: a member of the Cavaliers. I know the East is 766 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: gonna stink, but you put the Bucks out all the time, 767 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: when when Damian Lillard wasn't there anyway, and Giannis was 768 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: the star. He's still there again. Orlando's a good team. 769 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: The Pistons, Yes, you know, why won't you put the 770 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: Pistons on one of these games? Instead? They're giving us 771 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: the Cavaliers. And that's why I think even the NBA 772 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: is thinking that there could be a possibility that Lebron 773 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: doesn't play for the Lakers. 774 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 5: And I'm gonna write this now right now. The fact 775 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 5: that you're you've been on is you said that would 776 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 5: be the only place that would make sense for him 777 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 5: to go. You've said that a couple of times. I've 778 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 5: heard you myself. I think i've said it as well. 779 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 5: It panned out that way, would it also be a 780 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 5: little losing as well. 781 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's never stopped the NBA before. 782 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: I never stopped before. It's just it's amazing to me 783 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: that they feel like we have this this crazy appetite 784 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: for Calves Knicks games. Like I understand the Pacers aren't 785 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 1: gonna have Halliburton, so it's tough to hype your defending 786 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference champion. And plus they're getting the rematch out 787 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: of the way early because I think it would have 788 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: got lost in the shuffle if it was later on 789 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: in the season. But it just doesn't make any sense 790 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: that none of these other Eastern Conference teams would be 791 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: in those marquee windows. Calves Knicks. Really, he's carry roads. 792 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm Dan Byer quarterback tears not t e a RS. 793 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: We dive into that next on Fox Sports Radio. 794 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 11: I've watched twenty twenty five. I'm watched twenty twenty five.
