28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: it for you Valentine's Day weekend? It's now President's Day today,

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: first post NFL season weekend, Now in the books, Aaron Torres, No.

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: God, please, no, no, no.

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: Yes no.

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but you pretty much nailed

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: it for me, right on, right on the head. It

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: went from watching a moderate amount of college basketball with

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: football also in the mix, to just watching more college basketball,

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: and then obviously again knowing we were in today for

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: not only Stu Gotson company, but also here for being

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: and Rich. I did spend a lot of time watching

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: the All Star Game yesterday, something that I did largely

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: enjoy it.

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: You don't have a favorite football team, do you.

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: I actually don't believe it or not.

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: I didn't think. I didn't think that you did. The

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 3: only team that I know that you are a that's

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: your favorite is your alma mater, of Connecticut. Correct, And

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 3: so the NFL season, when does it end for you?

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: Because the Super Bowl is kind of off as its

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: own entity. Sure, the regular season happens, we go into

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: the playoffs, and we have games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: But so realistically, when does the NFL for you end? Oh,

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: it's still the Super Bowl. But I was, you know,

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: I was in with Mark Willard.

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Following the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, and I

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: told him the first time that I personally really feel it.

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: It's not the weekend when there's no football. It's actually

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: the first Saturday without football. Right, So we have all

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: that college football, and maybe it's part of it is

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: because I host the Saturday show on the weekends, but

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: we have all the college football for sixteen seventeen straight weeks.

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Then we get two or three weeks of NFL regular

61
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: season on Saturdays. Then we get the wildcard weekend with

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: two games, then we get the divisional weekend with two games.

63
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Then you wake up and it's like, oh, there's no

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: football at all. So a lot of people, I'm sure,

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: actually spend their Saturdays with family and friends and really

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: don't get into Saturday football until the NFL calendar kicks in.

67
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: But for me, that's what I actually feel it is

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: that first Saturday without football, which is the weekend of

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: the NFC and AFC Championship.

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense because even though it's

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: not college, the NFL still gives you that action and

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: a game to be excited for when you're flipping the

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: channels on Saturday at nine am, and not every network

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 3: has college basketball, so it's like puppy time. Yeah, it's

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: like the educational and informative programs, a.

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Lot of Jack Hannah.

77
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: You know, wait, I gotta sit through ninety more minutes

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: of these commercial like frying pans, something too good for

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: your health, then the game is gonna start. But that's

80
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: that's what you end up getting on that Saturday.

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also I also this goes without saying

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: the weekend between the AFC NFC Championship game and Super

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Bowl that's always a very tough weekend for me, much

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: more much. I actually find that weekend even worse than

85
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: the following weekend because you have one game left and

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: you've you've already spent a week over analyzing the one game,

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: and then you're like, you still got another week. So

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: I know that sounds weird, but to me, I find

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: that week with no football between the conference championship games

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl tougher to me personally than this

91
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: past weekend right now.

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: It's a little funky because some of us travel for

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, so that weekend is getting ready.

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, it's a very You're you're on

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: a jet all over the country up to Sanford.

96
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: I drove, I I wanted. Yes, I love the road

97
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: trip portion of it, so I drove. But just it's

98
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: it's a little a little different when you end up

99
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: covering the event because it's held off, and honestly, for me,

100
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: I am still on the high of the Seahawks winning

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Last night, I watched the hour long

102
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: miked up of Super Bowl sixty and the entire game

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: of all of the players being miked up. And by

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: the way, a lot of those clips end up getting

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: leaked or are put on social media, so you see

106
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: a lot of it. But still, like I watched last

107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: night and sat down and enjoyed absolutely every second of it.

108
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: So it was a little funky to still kind of

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: be in that mode and not having football. But I

110
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: felt I didn't feel like I was missing anything because

111
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: I was still off of the high of the Super Bowl.

112
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: It was really funny. So on my personal YouTube channel,

113
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: not related to Fox Sports Radio, I just get on,

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Like the last twenty four to forty eight hours, I

115
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: get a slew of comments on my reaction to Indiana

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: winning the college football National Championship. I'm like, why are

117
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: these comments? And I realized it was some Indiana fan

118
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: that was like still riding the high a month later

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: of like, my school won the national championship.

120
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: I'm still consuming.

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I'll find every piece of content on the Internet to consume.

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you probably feel the same way with

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Absolutely, it was Valentine's Day weekend. We told

124
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: you the big events that were happening. Jason Stewart, your

125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: first post football season weekend went.

126
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 5: How First of all, I had a great weekend. I

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 5: was looking forward to it. I don't know if you

128
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: guys do this, but I reached a football fatigue, and

129
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 5: everybody in this room except for you, didn't have the

130
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: pleasure of having our favorite team win the Super Bowl.

131
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: So I think there was a massive relief last week.

132
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 5: I spent the weekend watching a movie that's for an

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: oscar happened to be a sports movie?

134
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: What is it?

135
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: Smarty Supreme? Very much recommend run out and watch it.

136
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 5: I binged Love Is Blind for a podcast I have

137
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 5: coming up. I spent a lot of time with my

138
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 5: significant other, and because she isn't a big sports fan,

139
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: I was able to use that to my advantage as

140
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 5: one of my gifts. I said, I promise you that

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: tomorrow Sunday, I will spend all my energy on you

142
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 5: and not one minute of football. And she fell for it,

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: and it.

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: Was great, the gift of Jason.

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: No one is hoping for the non eighteenth regular season

146
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: game more than Jay Stu.

147
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: That screws up the whole plan. Yeah, I guess my

148
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: body is yours. Not next year. Valentine's Day falls on

149
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Sunday. Tricky, so to take that credit this year,

150
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: you may have to use it next year the confluence

151
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: of events. It's also next year. President's Day is the

152
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: day after where normally the Daytona five hundred would be

153
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: on President's Day weekend. They are having to push it

154
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: back because of the Super Bowl. We know that there's

155
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: going to be conflicts if the NFL ever goes to

156
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: the eighteen game schedule. So pushing those events back and

157
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: moving around, the NBA and Daytona five hundred are really

158
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: going to have to think of something out. And I

159
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: know that you guys laughed at me when I said this,

160
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: but I am gonna say it. I think it's a

161
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: shame that both of those events were on at the

162
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: same time. And I understand the Olympics conflict. For NBC

163
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: next year, you could put the All Star Game at night,

164
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: it's not gonna conflict with the Daytona five hundred, But

165
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: when you do it on the same weekend, I just

166
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: think it doesn't give the other event a chance to maybe,

167
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe intrigue someone. This may be a

168
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: myopic view of it. I just I like the Daytona

169
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: five hundred. I'm not gonna watch every NASCAR race from

170
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: here on out, and the NBA All Star Game is

171
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: kind of a one off, but it's Fox's big event.

172
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 3: I remember years of watching Daytona when Dale Earnhardt finally

173
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: broke through and won in the late nineteen nineties. Think

174
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: that was a big deal, and I just wish that

175
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: we had that opportunity where it wasn't going up at

176
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: the same time. That's what I thought stunk about Sunday. Yeah,

177
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: the two main events for these leagues having to go

178
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: ahead to head on different networks.

179
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that.

180
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 5: I would say that that demographically you would think that

181
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: there wasn't a lot of crossover. But I guess you

182
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,479
Speaker 5: kind of made me rethink this the fact that Jordan's

183
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 5: car won, And if you think about it, I know

184
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: the Carolinas are just massively into NASCAR and hoops. So

185
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: that's the one crossover state, right.

186
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just his exposure, Like I don't think so.

187
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: For the for NASCAR to have their weekend, their weekend

188
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: is the Daytona five hundred. Whether you want to consume

189
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: it or watch it or not is up to you.

190
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: But having someone else's big events also that weekend, it's

191
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: like double booking parties, right when you have graduation parties. Well,

192
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 3: they've got their party here, they're having this party here,

193
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: and now I got to choose one. It lessens both.

194
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: You would like to consume both, and I feel that

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: that even if you aren't intending to w one or

196
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: the other, it lessens it a little bit because you're saying, well,

197
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: the other league is scheduling it at this time because

198
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: they don't think that your product is that much of

199
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: a threat.

200
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: And I also know you said it's a little myopic,

201
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: but I think it's interesting. Of you're a huge golf guy,

202
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm a huge college sheeps guy. Whatever, But like for you,

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: you must get an extra pep in your step coming

204
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: in here the day after the Masters, when you know

205
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: that the sport that you love the most was on

206
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: center stage, you know, So it'd be like opening day

207
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball being the day after the Masters

208
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: and nobody's talking about the Masters again. And I think

209
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: you could say that for both Daytona and to a

210
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: degree the NBA all start getting.

211
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: And April is something. And I brought this up on

212
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: my Sunday show at Carrey Roads yesterday. April has done

213
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: such an awesome job of figuring out how sports needs

214
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: to be run, and everybody's on the same page. Major

215
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: League Baseball's opening day now ends up on a Thursday,

216
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 3: midweek week, and it used to be on the first

217
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: Monday of April around that time. A lot of times

218
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: it fell on the National Championship Game, but baseball starting

219
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: but that first weekend you have Final Four. First weekend

220
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: in April is your Final Four for college basketball. This

221
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: second week in April. Weekend in April is the Masters.

222
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: It's when it always is. Second weekend in April you

223
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: have the Masters. The next week is the first run

224
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: of the NBA Playoffs. I know you're not taking that in,

225
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: but to the point of there's wall to wall games

226
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: on Saturday, wall to wall games on Sunday, that's the

227
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: big story. And then the next week is the NFL Draft, right,

228
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: And that's the entire month of April. So each weekend

229
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: you've got a huge event in the month of April.

230
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: Yet in February, because of the NFL, we're jamming in

231
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: the Daytona five hundred and the NBA All Star Game

232
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: on the same day because the Olympics also happened to

233
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: fall at this time, and I just think that that

234
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: was too bad. Isaac glohingcron is one who loves sports.

235
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: How was your first post football weekend?

236
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: What really helped me was I felt the super Bowl

237
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: bye week sort of served as a gentle transition because

238
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 4: while the super Bowl itself is great just from an

239
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 4: event standpoint, and it's a championship game. I think the

240
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: best weekend of all in the NFL season is the

241
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 4: weekend of the divisional playoffs, with two game Saturday, two

242
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: game Sunday. Typically most of them come down to the

243
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 4: wire and you have the best consistent finishes. But you

244
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 4: know what, guys, a credit to the NFL. They have

245
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 4: done a great job of pretty much making themselves a

246
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 4: year round operation. Because what's our lead story today in

247
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins cutting Tyreek Hill. Soon it'll be obsessive

248
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 4: coverage of the combine, free agency, the draft, etc.

249
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: Etc.

250
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: We also had the coaching carousel during the playoffs. So

251
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: I think it's a testament that not only is the

252
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: NFL by far the number one sport in America, they

253
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: really have a foothold on most of the calendar, not

254
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: just when they are in season.

255
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: I noticed on Monday after the Super Bowl, not every

256
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: single one. I saw more mock drafts though on our

257
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: TV screens that would have or or the week of

258
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 3: than you would at any other time, maybe even leading

259
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: up to the draft. Because that's the next step to

260
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: Isaac's point of moving on the NFL season. Now we're

261
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: in the NFL offseason and people are well, my team

262
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: didn't make the playoffs. I want to focus on the draft.

263
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: People have been doing mock drafts of your team stinks

264
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: since October. But now is the time to do that.

265
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: And there's a new league year coming up in a

266
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, and free agency and franchise tags and

267
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: all of that stuff will end up taking over. But yeah,

268
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: that version of the NFL doesn't really just doesn't stop.

269
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: It's just a different way of consuming.

270
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though, and this is a

271
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: little again inside baseball and what we do. Do you

272
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: think the default to mock drafts is because that's what

273
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: the consumer wants or do you think it's because a

274
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: lot of people in our business don't know how to

275
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: talk sports when there is no football to discuss.

276
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: I think I would say the latter.

277
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: I actually agree with that.

278
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: I do. I actually I think that there is a huge,

279
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: huge market for mock drafts. But the people you love

280
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: mock drafts will go find them. They don't need them

281
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: to be on CBS Sports Network, right. ESPN likes to

282
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: promote the mel kiper unveiling of his NFL network Daniel

283
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: Jeremiah when he comes out with a mock draft it's promoted,

284
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: but it's also a promotion to get you to to

285
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: get you to go to the website, to get you

286
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: to read the mock drafts that they have as opposed

287
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: to bringing contents.

288
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, the people that like mock drafts,

289
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: they're not waiting until the day after the Super Bowl.

290
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: They're looking at them for football purposes in August before

291
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: the college football season, during the college football season, the

292
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: week of the Super Bowl, after the super Bowl, the

293
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: week of the draft, the week after the draft, looking

294
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: at the next year's draft. So no I noticed it

295
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: this year where it felt like the Super Bowl ends,

296
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: everybody has their take on Monday, and then Tuesday there

297
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: were a lot of people that were waiting for someone

298
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: else to set the conversation on the NBA and so

299
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: then the immediate default became, well, let's just go to

300
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: the draft and you know, uh, there's no way the

301
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Raiders don't draft Banana Mendoza, right, And it's like, you know,

302
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm just using that as an example. I don't know

303
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: if anybody had that actual take, but it just felt

304
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: like I was just turning on the TVs and I

305
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think a lot of people know

306
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: how to actually talk sports when there's not an immediate

307
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: game to react to or something football related to immediately

308
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: fill the voice.

309
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: I think it's a tough time to find out what

310
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: people want to hear about, sure, and so I think

311
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: the default is the NBA. Which is my bit of

312
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: a rant that I had yesterday that you could see

313
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: on the social of Fox Sports Radio. Is is kind

314
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: of that there are people who are going to want

315
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: to credit size the NBA no matter what, sure, and

316
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: so the only thing that they can do is, now

317
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: that there's not football, is find a way to criticize

318
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: the NBA. I think the NBA's conversation about tanking has

319
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: more to do with gambling than anything of people who

320
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: had bets and all of a sudden, now star players

321
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: aren't playing in the games. But it's also a way

322
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: of the NBA saying, look over here, tanking's the problem

323
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: when there are a lot of other issues that they

324
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: aren't dealing with, and the flow of the game and

325
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: how the game is played, and so all of those

326
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: things I think come into a conversation, but nobody's ready

327
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: to have the conversation to be are Chris Profets Pistons

328
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: ready to take the torch and be the team of

329
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference, and so there's different ways to do that. Chris,

330
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: speaking of your Pistons, you may have been in NBA mode,

331
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: but how was your first post super Bowl weekend.

332
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 6: I think there is a lot of release of attention

333
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 6: from me. There's a moment at during I think the

334
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 6: fourth quarter of the Super Bowl where I'm thinking, oh, wow,

335
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: I've put off a lot of things just because I'm

336
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 6: in such a rhythm of watching football. So the next

337
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 6: few days after the Super Bowl is usually me catching

338
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 6: up on stuff I've kind of been slacking on or

339
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 6: putting off. Like, for instance, it in my my fantasy

340
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 6: league knows this and they they make jokes about it

341
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 6: all the time, but I don't get around to paying

342
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 6: out our fantasy league until pretty much after the Super Bowl.

343
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 6: I just get entirely distracted. Part of that's also how

344
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 6: much I work around here around you know, the holidays

345
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 6: and everything too, that it's just kind of like, all right,

346
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 6: it gets lost in the wayside, and then I'm you know,

347
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 6: every weekend I would have I'm watching you know, the

348
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 6: NFL playoffs, So there's a lot of stuff I start

349
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 6: to do mentally that I've been putting off. I pay

350
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 6: out fantasy leagues, I set up stuff. I've been built

351
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 6: a drafting table and trying to draw more and you know,

352
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 6: putting stuff up there.

353
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: Just a lot of a lot of houseworks.

354
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: The NFL drafting table. Yeah, it's a drafting table for

355
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 5: draft in the NFL.

356
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 3: Okay, I think there's a lot of honeydew lists that

357
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: that we're we're working. To Jason's point, I know he

358
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 3: was providing his body for his wife on the first

359
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: post Super Bowl weekend, but it is it is an

360
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: interesting feel. I also feel I love March. You love March, Aaron,

361
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: we love Selection Sunday, we love the conference tournaments and

362
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: everything about it. There is a bit of a lull

363
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: in these last two weeks because let's be honest, right now,

364
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 3: with the Olympics going on, there's no NHL games. Sure,

365
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: there's no NBA games this week. College basketball is the

366
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: only thing that's that's going on this week, and so yeah,

367
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: there's a bit of a bit of a slow down.

368
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: But once the NBA or the NFL has their offseason moving,

369
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: that will once again end up dominating the headlines. But

370
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: the longer the NFL season goes, the shorter the offseason is,

371
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: and the next thing you know, it's gonna be May

372
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 3: and the schedule is gonna come out, and then you're

373
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: going to enter summer and football season will be here.

374
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: It'll be just like that.

375
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you funny, funny quick story. We're talking. We're

376
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: doing a Patriots regression conversation on our show on Saturday.

377
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: And I said, oh, by the way, because you know,

378
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots play at Seattle next year, which I know

379
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: you know. And I said, by the way, j Mart,

380
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: of these Seattle opponents, who do you think is most

381
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: likely to get that Thursday night home game to open

382
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: the season. And I gave him three or four. He goes,

383
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, dude, I got six months to

384
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: think about that. He's like, I can't think about who

385
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: could hypothetically be the Thursday, you know, September sixth opponent.

386
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: I got six months to think about that. So it

387
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: does to Jay s Duw's point, you know, everybody gets

388
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: a little worn down.

389
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 3: I think it's the Bears. I think it's the Bears.

390
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: Yes, I had it down to the Bears, Cowboys or Patriots.

391
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll do it to the Cowboys. Is

392
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: there always yes? One, yes, I don't know if we're

393
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: thirsting to see Seahawks Patriots again. And I'm saying that

394
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: as a Seahawks fan, fair and I think you put

395
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams in that atmosphere and with the Rams and

396
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: forty nine ers playing in Australia likely Week one, I

397
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: think that ends up being the pick. But we shall see.

398
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: We shall see. NFL schedule coming out in May. It

399
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: used to come out, used to come out in April,

400
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 3: and even before the draft it would. But now even

401
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: with the schedule, they'll try to take draft picks, put

402
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: them in a certain spot where maybe you could have

403
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: one versus two if they're quarterbacks playing in a game.

404
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: So now they wait until May, which erin Torres, you know,

405
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 3: pushes back NFL magazines from the new stands of being

406
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: released because they don't have the schedule. Usually it would

407
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: be Memorial Day weekend or that last week in May,

408
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: first week in June. But if the NFL schedule doesn't

409
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: come out until like May nineteenth, they've got to wait

410
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 3: to put the schedule in the actual publications. True that

411
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 3: is inside sports, but if you buy NFL preview magazines,

412
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: still you know what I'm talking about.

413
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: All I'll say is inside Tourism Martin. It was the

414
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: first time in five years that Jason Martin threw up

415
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: his hands and was like, I don't care about this app.

416
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,119

00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 7: My kids still went to school today, Dan, because okay,

437
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 7: so to make up for the snow days, they still

438
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 7: went to school today. I would have been devastated as

439
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 7: a kid if I had to go to a school

440
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 7: on President's Day. But thanks for having me, man, I

441
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 7: appreciate it.

442
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say sick Bragg because I woke up

443
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: thinking that I was gonna be able to get stuff done,

444
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: and then my wife was like, oh yeah, I guess

445
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: who's got the day off today? And I was like, well,

446
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to do radio anyways.

447
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: Not only is Planks, the Planks kids have to go

448
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 3: to school. My son did not. They took off Friday

449
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: as well. They made it a four day weekend. Yes.

450
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was the Valentine's Day or

451
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: what the deal was, but my son's school is just like,

452
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: don't even bother coming in on Friday. We'll see one

453
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Yes, yes, last night. The reason why Chris

454
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 3: Plank was not in his usual spot here on Fox

455
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. It's because you were with the Oklahoma softball

456
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: team and a bit of history last night. I know

457
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 3: it's not the all time history thirty four to nothing

458
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: over UTEP. We know you're a juggernaut. What in the

459
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: world is it like? How is it like calling a

460
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: game that ends thirty four to nothing? Chris Plank?

461
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 7: Oh, one of the ends last night. There's that great

462
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 7: meme of the Popeyes employee during.

463
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: The bent over.

464
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 7: Yes, someone that aided me as that guy been over

465
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 7: after calling it. No, it's pretty cool, man. This is

466
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 7: you know, I understand on the national airwaves and with

467
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 7: Arnie on Sunday Night, don't we don't talk a lot

468
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 7: of softball, and most people don't care about college diamond

469
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 7: sports in general. But I've really been blessed to be

470
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 7: a part of this program for a while. And it's

471
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 7: kind of crazy to think that that's only the second

472
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 7: most runs in a game that I've called them. I'm sorry,

473
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 7: I'm sorry it's now the most runs, but the second

474
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 7: was thirty three. I mean, it's just they're they're an

475
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 7: incredible offensive juggernaut and you reach this point too, where

476
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 7: you run out of ways to say ripped, crushed home run,

477
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 7: you know, deepest probably like you start making up orders

478
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 7: to try to describe what you're seeing. But here's what's

479
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 7: crazy is they jumped out to an eight zero lead

480
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 7: DAN and the first inning without hitting a home run. Wow,

481
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 7: it's to the station. And then the bass got going.

482
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 7: I think they ended up with two Grand slams in

483
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 7: the game whenever all was said and done. But I

484
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 7: felt really bad for UTEP. You know, I don't know

485
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 7: if there's the kneeling it out process or you know,

486
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 7: the four corners that you can do in diamond sports,

487
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 7: but guys, they had just come off like this emotional

488
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 7: walk off win where they beat Idaho State and they

489
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 7: were hugging and celebrating, and then all the Sooners came.

490
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 7: The Sooners came in and put eight on the board

491
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 7: him in the first inning and then it was thirty

492
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 7: four ZIP before you could bling. So I was a

493
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 7: pretty wild experience. And I'll tell you what, the air

494
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 7: is a little different. There's the ball flies.

495
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: Far I thought. My biggest takeaway and the reason I

496
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't have had you on if there was controversy, like

497
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: we've had. We've talked about, you know, high school games

498
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: that are you know, one hundred and twenty to ten,

499
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 3: and you talk about that. I read a quote from

500
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: the from the game story from a UTEP outfielder, Hallie Hogan.

501
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 3: I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly. Maybe it's Hayley. She said,

502
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: there were no ill feelings. Quote. They've done a lot

503
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: for winter sports. We're going to take what we learned

504
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: from them and use it to our advantage. And that

505
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: was the quote. And that was the quote, which is

506
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 3: why I thought we got to have plank on to

507
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 3: talk about this, because it's not a making fun of

508
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: what UTEP had gone through. And I actually thought from

509
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: that quote from their side is a pretty interesting look

510
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: at Oklahoma softball and the dominant program that it is.

511
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: That even their opponent can take a thirty four to

512
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: nothing loss in stride.

513
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 7: Well, and they saw it. Listen. I've traveled with this

514
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 7: team since twenty sixteen, so I've been a part of

515
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 7: six national championships. And I think the coolest part in

516
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: all of it, guys, is that here's Patty Gasso, the

517
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 7: head coach that cares about softball and these sports that

518
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 7: are not necessarily in the rev share plan, and that

519
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 7: aren't talked about as making huge nil dollars. And coach

520
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 7: gass Has sees this and she'll take this traveling circus

521
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 7: if you will, two places like El Paso and Las Cruses.

522
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 7: And last year, you know, whenever I was late showing

523
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 7: up with the Super Bowl because I don't understand how

524
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 7: you people live in a La traffic, but I mean,

525
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 7: we went up and down the coast, and she would

526
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 7: take the team to these places and basically say, you're

527
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 7: charging ad mission for this game, and you're gonna bring

528
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 7: in more stands because this is going to be the

529
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 7: most money you're gonna make this year. It's not cocky,

530
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 7: it's not arrogant. It's a care for the game. And

531
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 7: that's why that's why this woman does. They want to

532
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 7: see softball survive and thrive. Now, don't get me wrong,

533
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 7: fun to win. And they won four straight national championships.

534
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 7: And it's quite a story Dan when you have a

535
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 7: team that it finishes in the final four and it's

536
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 7: a disappointment, but that's what last year was like for

537
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 7: a lot of people. And coach Gaso cares about winning,

538
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 7: but she also cares about the sport and that's.

539
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: Why they do this.

540
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 7: And I didn't see that quote, so I think that's

541
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 7: really cool because they saw it. UTEP's not gonna have

542
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 7: that many fans in any game they play again ever.

543
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 7: You know, it's just it was people were turned away door,

544
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 7: they sold too many tickets. It was wild. The same

545
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 7: thing happened in New Mexico. So long way to answer

546
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 7: to what I think is a really cool quote, Dan,

547
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 7: they're rock stars in this sport. There's girls, little girls

548
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 7: that look up to them, and we're going to be

549
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 7: in Palm Springs this weekend and there's gonna be a

550
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 7: mob like surrounding around him. It's just it's really cool

551
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 7: to see that they've been able to do so much

552
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 7: for the sport and try to continue to grow it.

553
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this because you mentioned kind

554
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: of the evolving place of college sports. Oklahoma did win

555
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: four straight championships. Last year Texas beats Texas Tech, and

556
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious for your perspective, but also the

557
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma perspective for people who don't know. We know, during

558
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: football there was almost this conversation about how Texas Tech

559
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: kind of fast tracked their way to the top of

560
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: college football with nil and Texas Tech softball has a

561
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: million dollar player named Nija Kennedy. And I'd just be curious,

562
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: is it good for the game? Is it people in

563
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: Tech in softball view it as sort of a cheat

564
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: code like they did with Texas Tech football. Just curious

565
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: how people are viewing Texas Tech. And I'll be transparent,

566
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: I don't know much about their history before last season,

567
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: but I know they they had the best player in

568
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: the country who transferred from Stanford and then played for

569
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: a national championship in year one, poor miss Any.

570
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 7: They never won a tournament, they had never been the

571
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 7: NCAA tournament, they had never hosted or been to, they

572
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 7: never hosted a regional and all of these things were,

573
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 7: you know, benchmarks that Texas Tech reached last year. Here's

574
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 7: what's wild about Tech that I'll say, you got Cody

575
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 7: Campbell and what they're doing in football, and everyone knows

576
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 7: about that. Women's basketball has been a sport that they've

577
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 7: invested in men too. They I mean, they're the biggest

578
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 7: names in the portal everything of those sports they've committed

579
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 7: to and they've invested in except fotball, and that's where

580
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 7: they were the best before all the money started pouring

581
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 7: in softball. Just quick story on this, Tody Campbell's business partner.

582
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 7: His wife was a player on the Text to Tech

583
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 7: softball team and really enjoyed all her time there. So

584
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 7: what she wanted to do was continue to give back

585
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 7: and grow this program. So there you basically have a

586
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 7: sugar mama in this case for the Text to Tech

587
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 7: program because the former player married, you know, Tody Campbell's

588
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 7: business partner, and now that's where they're investing their money.

589
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 7: Is it good for the games? I think so? You know,

590
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 7: I do. I want It's different. You know, you're not

591
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 7: talking about amount of money. For most they can go

592
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 7: out and buy new cars and you know, you know,

593
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 7: goal chains or whatever people want to complain about with nil.

594
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 7: These are nests, eggs for businesses and homes whenever they graduate.

595
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 7: And I just I think it's good for the sport.

596
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: Is it sustainable?

597
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 7: No, it's a non revenue sport, But it's really cool

598
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 7: to see that investment. And then in that challenge Aaron

599
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 7: too to see Oklahoma, who has a good in il budget.

600
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 7: They'm going to pay a player a million dollars to

601
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 7: see this in Texas and UCLA and others still be

602
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 7: competitive in this world when you have someone that is

603
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 7: going above market value to bring the best players to

604
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 7: their team.

605
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I got one more. Chris Plank joining us here

606
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. Torres has got one more as well.

607
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: Chris Plank, the voice of the Oklahoma Sooners women's softball

608
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 3: team who beat UTEP yesterday thirty four to nothing. You're

609
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: up twenty to nothing after four. What is the mercy rule?

610
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: Because it ended after the fourteen run fifth inning? Where

611
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: the thirty four to zhing final game? What is the

612
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: mercy rule when it comes to college softball?

613
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 7: Eight runs five?

614
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: So that's it.

615
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 7: You know, maybe they need to reevaluate it, say if

616
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 7: you're up twenty after four, weeken end this thing. But

617
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 7: there was kind of a funny story. You know, baseball

618
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 7: will have you know, Kiki Hernandez is the guy from

619
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 7: the Dodgers that they'll bring in when you're getting blasted

620
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: and it's like, just just try to get us to out.

621
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 7: They did that in softball yesterday. UTEP did and they

622
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 7: brought in a girl who hadn't pitched into the seventh grade,

623
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 7: and I believe it was her birthday and she walked

624
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 7: four batters in a row and then gave up a

625
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 7: grand slam. And I think they were like, ruined your birthday. Enough,

626
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 7: let's go ahead hoop on here. But yeah, eight after

627
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 7: five Dan is the rule, and you just you got

628
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 7: to get to five regardless, regardless, you got to get

629
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 7: to five. And that's where we were yesterday.

630
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: My last one for you is non softball. I was

631
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: just curious, you know, I think most people know you're

632
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: also the Oklahoma football sideline reporter. Just wanted to hear

633
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: your hot takes, which maybe you dropped last Sunday on

634
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Tony Petiti's twenty four team college football playoff. I was

635
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: curious for your take on that.

636
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 7: Well, I didn't have all this information that was somehow

637
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 7: magically leaked or the document of pained. I guess someone

638
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 7: left it on the printer on Friday. What the plan

639
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 7: looks like? I'm you know, I went through it today,

640
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 7: really really went through it with the fine tooth comb

641
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 7: paint me intrigue.

642
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: All right.

643
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 7: Do I think that there's twenty four teams on any

644
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 7: given season that can win a national championship? No, I don't,

645
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 7: But I also think conference championship weekend has become irrelevant.

646
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 7: And I also feel like some of the late season

647
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 7: games are spring two. So I like twelve. Okay, I

648
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 7: like what we're doing with twelve right now. If we

649
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 7: can get more on campus games, if this will playoff games,

650
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 7: I just say, I'll paint me intrigued at and then

651
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 7: we'll see what plays out. If we get our two

652
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 7: years of the sixteen up, I gotta know for you

653
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 7: then if I can turn this around, is my guy

654
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 7: Porter Moser going to save his job or am I

655
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 7: going to be covered at college basketball coaching search here

656
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 7: in Norman this off season? Everyone knows the popcorn machine

657
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 7: caught fire this week, guys.

658
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: So to the Sooners, though, baby, two wins in a row.

659
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: To quote Louke Brown from Major League, you won yesterday,

660
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: you won today, If you win tomorrow, it's called a

661
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: winning streak. It has happened before. So you know, you

662
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: guys keep blowing everybody out in the SEC. I mean,

663
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: two straight wins. You know, you never know, it's not pretty.

664
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: You know, you might actually know a little bit more

665
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: about the buyout situation. Obviously making the tournament last yearsume

666
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: there was some sort of extension or whatever. But I

667
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: think the big question is what do you do down

668
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: the stretch, And just looking at the schedule, next couple

669
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: are pretty big. Tennessee's obviously going to be a tournament team.

670
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: Texas A and M is probably a tournament team as well.

671
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: You close with Missouri and Texas right on the bubble,

672
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: so I would I would lean towards You're probably gonna

673
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: be doing a coach and search. But uh, yes, it

674
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been good except for the popcorn machine, which you

675
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: know was certainly made national headlines. So yeah, I know, right, yeah,

676
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: but hey, keep winning two in a row.

677
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 3: Spring football is around the corner, right, Yeah, that's.

678
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 7: Gotta get John mclse. You gotta go win an SEC title.

679
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 7: That's what matters around here.

680
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Our poor buddy, Ryan Fowler, you got you have one.

681
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: I guess you don't have braging rights anymore. Never mind,

682
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say play off. Yes, I remember that

683
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: as as the words were coming out of my mouth.

Speaker 3: So you had the Olympics this past weekend, daytona five

720
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: hundred NBA All Star Game, which we'll get more into.

721
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 3: Plus you had a softball game that ended thirty four

722
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: to nothing. Thirty four to nothing, the Sooners putting it

723
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: on youtep the one and on Chris Plank will join

724
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: us in twenty five minutes, the Voice of Oklahoma Softball

725
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 3: to get a little insight in what happens in a

726
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 3: game that ends thirty four to nothing in five innings.

727
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: They had to call it. By the way, UTEP took

728
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 3: zero offense to it. Didn't think there was a running

729
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: up of the score at all, so I think an

730
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: interesting conversation, we'll have Chris Plank get in his mind.

731
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 3: You can hear Chris not only is he the voice

732
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 3: of the Sooners, but you hear him here on Fox

733
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Sunday nights. He and Arnie Spaniard. You were

734
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 3: in for him last night. The game apparently wasn't over.

735
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: It was only thirty one nothing. He couldn't get off air.

736
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: So no, I'm sure he is. I know he is

737
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: traveling with the team.

738
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if the game was going on when

739
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: we I don't think it was because I think the

740
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: Sega referenced it in one of his updates, so it

741
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: must have just finished as we were getting on air.

742
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: I want to dive into this game because I just

743
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: think that there's a lot there. So Chris Plank will

744
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: join us in about twenty five minutes or so. On

745
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 3: the heels of the All Star Game, the All Star

746
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: ratings have come in. You heard Isaac Lohenkron mention them.

747
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: And Isaac, just for the record of what I'm reading,

748
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: what is the information you have on the All Star

749
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: Game yesterday on NBC the ratings for that game.

750
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: Couple of key things to unpack in a simple sentenced

751
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 4: it averaged eight point eight million viewers across all platforms,

752
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: its biggest audience in fifteen years. So average is one

753
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 4: thing to take note of. And also across all platforms.

754
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 4: It's NBC, it's streaming, and it's also an Espanol on Telemundo.

755
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's I'm glad that you said all of

756
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: that because I think when we have these all star

757
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 3: conversations and we're going to talk about the game and

758
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 3: how yesterday's game was was presented, I don't want to

759
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: come in with a bias. I just want to get

760
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: to the bottom of what is real. And I think

761
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 3: when people talk about the NBA, don't talk about what's real,

762
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 3: both negative and positive. Like the haters are just as

763
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: worse as NBA Twitter in saying what is and what

764
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: isn't about the NBA. So I want to look at

765
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: what is and what does work for the NBA, and

766
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: isn't something that is puffed up or pushed on or

767
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: something that is beaten down and said, oh, that's the

768
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: NBA just thrown away. This is why they got that

769
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 3: it's not a real I'm sick of the haters. I'm

770
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: sick of NBA Twitter trying to tell me how awesome

771
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 3: it is. I want, I want to realize and get

772
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: an idea of what the NBA is. And I don't

773
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 3: think it's any surprise that the All Star Game appearing

774
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: on network TV again would have higher ratings than it

775
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: had in previous years when it was on Sunday night

776
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: on TNT.

777
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was kind of my first thought as well.

778
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: And again I want to be fair in saying this

779
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: because I am somebody that in general has been critical

780
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: of the NBA product. You know, I don't know if

781
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: you want to switch back over to the game itself,

782
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: but that was part of when we were filling in

783
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: for Stu Gotts and co. I made sure to reference

784
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: like I thought it was about as entertaining of a

785
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: game as I could remember from an All Star perspective,

786
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be that guy that's always negative.

787
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: No matter what I thought. Overall, the quality of the

788
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: product was good and apparently based on the ratings again

789
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: probably helped by the fact that it was on Network

790
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: TV in between windows of the Olympics. It doesn't change

791
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: the fact that a lot of people watched and it

792
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: appears as though a lot of people enjoyed as well.

793
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: Simple Math told me in the argument leading up to

794
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: the All Star Game that the people who were trying

795
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: to tell us that the NBA All Star Game was

796
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 3: competitive at one point, we're ignoring the first three quarters

797
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: of the game. The games were competitive in the fourth quarter.

798
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 3: But for the first three quarters of the old NBA

799
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: games that we think about and Kobe Bryant trying to

800
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 3: lock up players, it was in the fourth quarter when

801
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 3: the game was coming down to the wire and the

802
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: game the outcome was still in the balance. That's what

803
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: we think. We don't think of guys locking down players

804
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: in the first and second quarter. So when we think

805
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: of competitive NBA All Star Games of the past, it

806
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: never was four quarters. I would say it was one

807
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 3: quarter of that. What we've had lately is we had

808
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 3: zero quarters. He had zero point zero percent. When a

809
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: team scores two hundred and eleven points, there is no competition,

810
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: there is no competitive nature, there's none of that. So yesterday,

811
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: even though the ending of the game I think went

812
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: on a sour note, that's three quarters of basketball that

813
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: was competitive. That was intriguing enough to bring in a

814
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: rating that was higher than a lot of other events,

815
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: and that is a huge win for the NBA just

816
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 3: to have three quarters of basketball of players competing, something

817
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: that they haven't had in a long long time in

818
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: the All Star Game.

819
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: Well, and I think the other thing that I would

820
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: add is to get to a fourth quarter that's competitive. Inherently,

821
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: the audience has to survive the first three quarter that

822
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: are not fun to watch. And so, you know, I'll

823
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: say this transparently, maybe maybe that's where the NBA All

824
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: Star Game lost me, is that I wasn't willing to

825
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: stick through three quarters of bad basketball in which it

826
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: was clear that the participants didn't feel as though they

827
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: wanted to be there or look like they wanted to

828
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: be there. And so maybe that is part of the problem,

829
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: or it was part of the problem in the lead

830
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: up to Saturn or into the lead up to Sunday,

831
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: is because I have heard from people who do cover

832
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: the NBA, Hey, you know, the fourth quarter gets intense, whatever,

833
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: But as the casual consumer, I'm not sitting through three

834
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: quarters of embarrassing basketball to get there. And so maybe

835
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: this format really does help with all and wishing and

836
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: hoping that you have a close game at the end.

837
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: To allow that fourth quarter to even transpire, because.

838
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 3: Exactly if it's three quarters of you know, just jacking

839
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 3: up threes and having breakaway dunks, one team could end

840
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 3: up being up by thirty points and then nobody really

841
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 3: cares in the fourth quarter. So eight point eight million

842
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 3: what I number seeing other numbers in comparison. The Major

843
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 3: League Baseball All Star Game on Fox drew seven point

844
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 3: two million last year. The Pro Bowl this year that

845
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 3: was only on ESPN was two million. That's that's not

846
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: even a game. I just I'm not And this is

847
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: this is where I feel I have to be careful

848
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 3: because this is what makes me mad. This is what

849
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: I feel is NBA Twitter. It's not a stat The

850
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: success of the NBA isn't how many people watch the

851
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 3: All Star Game. Okay, so that's this is a good

852
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 3: number for them. So I am happy that the NBA

853
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 3: got the the increased number that they had, But I'm

854
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 3: a day away from saying I think that the NBA

855
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: has even falling behind Major League Baseball in terms of

856
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 3: popularities of sports in this country from what we've seen

857
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 3: in the World Series. And if I'm the sport, that's

858
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 3: what I want to see. I want to see the

859
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 3: most important poor of my season. How does that compare

860
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 3: to everything else? And the World Series has been great

861
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: for Major League Baseball the last couple of years, and

862
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 3: it has out drawn the NBA Finals. So just because

863
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: yesterday's competitive Game, which again I am happy it happened,

864
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: because it beat Major League Baseball's number, doesn't mean that

865
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 3: the NBA again has smoked these other leagues when it

866
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: comes to the All Star Game. I'm glad that there

867
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: is attention to it, and there should be. It's crazy

868
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: that it took this long for them to figure this out,

869
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: no doubt.

870
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: And I mean I think the NBA All Star Game

871
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: TV rating rising also at the same time or coming

872
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: off of a year in which the MLB game fell.

873
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that hurts your argument that MLB has surpassed.

874
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: Is that it took this great confluence of events of

875
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: linear TV in between windows of the Olympics, when a

876
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: lot of people already had that channel on any way

877
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: competitive basketball, just to get back to that baseline number.

878
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: And I think it goes back to something that Isaac

879
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: said during the window when we were in with for

880
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: Stu Gotts and Company, is that basically the NBA's biggest

881
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: issue right now isn't tanking, it isn't load management. It's

882
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: that they've lost millions of people that loved, that loved

883
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: past tense their product, and there's no easy way to

884
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: get it back. Although I will say yesterday was a

885
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: good start. It has clearly been a topic of conversation

886
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: today among either diehards who loved the NBA or people

887
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: like us who work in You're more of an NBA

888
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: diehard than I am, but people that work in the

889
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: space that were consuming the game, where maybe now next

890
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: year people do feel more inclined to tune in because

891
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: they heard such rave reviews about today Yesterday.

892
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards gave a review after winning the MVP following

893
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 3: last night's All Star game in Los Angeles. Here's what

894
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: the Timberwolve star and MVP had to say. I hang

895
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 3: gonna lie Wenby said the tone. He came out playing hard,

896
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: and you know we had to follow that. We had

897
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: to pick it up as a red team and we

898
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: did that.

899
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: You c KD and Lebron Garden You why do you

900
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: want that match up?

901
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 3: Yeah? For sure, I want to cook them Mary time.

902
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 7: You know that.

903
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: Thanks Ann, Thank you it was magnificent to the point,

904
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 3: and it was earlier in All Star Weekend where he said, yeah,

905
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 3: you can probably expect much of the same, and then

906
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 3: the game starts and it's not much of the same.

907
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: It's a whole new ballgame, and it showed yesterday. Good

908
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 3: for the NBA. Good for making the changes and making

909
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 3: them work for an audience, and again the NBC audience

910
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 3: would have helped. I would be curious to see what

911
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: it was if it was on TNT with the new format.

912
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 3: I'd really like to see how if it would compare.

913
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: I think the numbers in previous All Star Games were

914
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: about five point four million, four point seven around that number,

915
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: and so this getting eight point eight is bigger. This

916
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 3: is also in comparing it to the Pro Bowl, which

917
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 3: is atrocious. I don't think anybody is saying the Pro

918
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 3: Bowl is good. It sounds like the Major League Baseball

919
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: All Star Game is perfect. Guys don't pitch two innings anymore.

920
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 3: Guys pitch one inning and it's done with and your

921
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 3: stars a lot of times by the sixth inning are

922
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: out of the ball game.

923
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: They're out of the buildings.

924
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 3: Sometimes. Yeah, yes, yes, they absolutely are. So like those

925
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 3: there's reasons that Major League Baseball, if you want to

926
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 3: put all the stock in on an All Star Game,

927
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 3: may look to change things. They've as they had problems, right,

928
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 3: they had a tie game, so then you gave home

929
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 3: field advantage, So they've tried to work out their kinks.

930
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: Seven point two million versus eight point eight NBA beats them.

931
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 3: Gives Major League Baseball an opportunity to maybe look at

932
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: how they can make their product better, maybe make it

933
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 3: more competitive if they want to bring in NBA like numbers.

934
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick. We talked about it during the Stu

935
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: Gots window. Do you believe the success and when I

936
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: say success, I just mean the product on the court.

937
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: Was that more a reflection of the format or do

938
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: you believe it was guys like Wemby in the pre game?

939
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: You know, we just heard Anthony Anthony Edwards essentially say

940
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: Wemby set the tone for us. What what do you

941
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: think led to it more than the one?

942
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 3: I I think it's wem Bin Yama, which is different

943
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 3: than what I thought going in. I thought that there

944
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: would be pride. I thought that there would be Hey,

945
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 3: I want to play for my country, but there's also

946
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 3: another team that's also playing for their country, and then

947
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 3: there's another team that's playing for all of the other countries.

948
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 3: So really, when it came down to it, Aaron I

949
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 3: thought players were going to be playing more for kind

950
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 3: of the flag like they did in the Four Nations

951
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 3: face off in hockey, and it wasn't that. I think

952
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 3: it was just seeing how the players respond getting opportunities,

953
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards being guarded by Kevin Durant or vice versa.

954
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 3: I think that's what drew it out of them. It

955
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 3: wasn't what uniform or what flag or whoever they were representing.

956
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: I thought that's what it was going to be, honestly,

957
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: But I don't think that was the case at all.

958
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: And to that point, you know, it was certainly a

959
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: topic of conversation last week because Kevin Durant was asked

960
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: about guys not try he said, ask the international guys

961
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: and all I'll say, I'm not criticizing anybody, even necessarily,

962
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: but there were plenty of shots of guys panning to

963
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: the bench and Luka Dacic and Nikola Jokic seemingly not

964
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: wanting to be there. So we got to give credit

965
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: to guys like Wemby Anthony Edwards, etc. But there still

966
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: appeared to be guys that weren't necessarily totally interested in

967
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: being there.

968
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 3: And I don't think that. I don't think that the

969
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 3: competition of the players that were interested is the end

970
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 3: all be all. I think that there are other issues

971
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: with the NBA. However, showing what happens when you just

972
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 3: actually care and want to put forth an effort to

973
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 3: it tells us that of the tanking and all the

974
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: other issues that we believe that the NBA has, or

975
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 3: the NBA wants us to believe that they have, that

976
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: maybe just effort ends up making a bigger difference than

977
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 3: they would have thought.

978
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: Yep.

979
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 3: I think that's that's what we've Jason Stewart, I know

980
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 3: the All Star Game and All Star Games we've talked

981
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: about for years and years, but not surprised that an

982
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: eight point eight rating came in for the NBA All

983
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 3: Star Game. Yeah.

984
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm always more interested in how an event

985
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 5: is covered than the actual event. I agree it was

986
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 5: more competitive, it was more compelling, But I will say this,

987
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 5: I keep getting I keep seeing a lot of credit

988
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 5: being given to these players for trying. I think that's

989
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 5: a very low bar that they captured if that's the case,

990
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 5: and it begs and I'm not being one of the

991
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 5: NBA haters on Twitter here, it begs the question, like

992
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 5: if you could just deliver that product yesterday by trying

993
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 5: the base level, trying what exactly have you been doing

994
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 5: all these other years? And there are like people that

995
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 5: paid good money to go into these events for the

996
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 5: last eight or nine years. And I'm thinking if I

997
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 5: went to the l Star Game two years ago, I

998
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 5: would feel jypped. I wish I went yesterday when I

999
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 5: could see players trying for my thousand dollars seat.

1000
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 3: You mean you didn't want to see Lebron go oerver

1001
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 3: five from half court on full of jumpers, Like that

1002
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: wasn't something that you paid five hundred dollars a seat for.

1003
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: Ye No, you're you're right. Like the game's past of

1004
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: what you actually were paying for the time that we

1005
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 3: spent watching makes you feel a little bit foolish seeing

1006
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 3: on how things just change so quickly yesterday afternoon.

1007
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: Well, I keep going back to it. That's why a

1008
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, just didn't tune in because

1009
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: the expectation was so low. Those of us that were

1010
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: watching obviously got to see something maybe better than we

1011
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: were expecting, but there were a lot of people that said,

1012
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: it's been so bad that it's not even worth me

1013
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: tuning in for to see the potential that it could

1014
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: be
