0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the better days on the sports calendar. Opening day of

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the NCAA tournament, and typically many of us are making

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>up the creative excuses on how to get out of work.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Unfortun we don't need excuses today. Unfortunately, we don't have

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>any basketball games to watch, so it's kind of a

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>strange day. We've all had years where you have a

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>high seed gets tripped up early and no worse feeling

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>than having your bracket blown up day one. You go

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>back two years ago in the sixteenth seed UMBC Maryland

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore County knocked out Virginia. Of course, the real money

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>is won later in the tournament, but we overreact on

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Day one and day two. But seeing all those games

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>is still the best, and we'll miss those in these

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>strange times that we're trying to get through. But I

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>think back on all the great tournament action opening days

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>that we've had in the past, and then look ahead

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of the games coming back real soon, and I think

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>we all have those memories of there was a game

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that you watched, there was a player that you watched,

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and this is really with the advent of one and done,

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you had a chance to get to know some players

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>when it got to the tournament, and of course they

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>would be gone, the great ones would. But you had

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>some players like Obe Topping at Dayton this year. This

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>could have been his coming out party and he might

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>be the best player you know in college basketball this

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>past year. He's on the shortlist there. You had some

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>really interesting stories. San Diego State was in there, Dayton

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>was in there, some teams that aren't normally up there,

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and Kansas, the blue bloods were there. We didn't know

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>how good Duke was or Kentucky some of the ones

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>you expect. North Carolina not good this year. Syracuse wasn't

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 1>making the tournament, and it was, as we like to say,

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>every year, wide open. But when you have those first

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>four days of the tournament where you have Thursday, Friday,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Saturday and Sunday, and then you come up for air

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and then you look at your bracket and you go,

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I got one region that's still intact. Everything else is

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>in tatters. But always some great memories there of March madness.

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.080

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>us today. Okay, this is a Paulie special. Would you

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>rather attend or actually watch the first day of the

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>NTA Tournament or the super Bowl? So? If you had

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to miss one, which one would you fear missing the most?

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I can do without the super Bowl? Nice? I mean,

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I I love the super Bowl, but I don't know

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>there's something about Thursday and Friday with just that frenetic pace.

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, you start at noon and it goes to

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>after midnight both of those days. Uh. Yeah, I would

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>take the first two days. Do I get the whole weekend?

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>You got the first four days of the NTA Tournament? Oh? Yeah, yeah,

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the first four days over the super Bowl. Yeah,

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it was the first two days. You're staying all why

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>are you shaking your head? Mclovin. So you're just not

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna watch the super Bowl? Well wait, you just said

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I can watch one. I got You can't see it.

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>You can't even watch it. Okay, I'll survive. Can I

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>listen to it? I can listen to it on radio? Right,

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you can listen to the second half. Okay, No, I'd

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>still I'd take March Madness. I take those first four days.

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I I just there's nothing like that, that feeling when

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you're watching you're going, you know somebody is on the ropes,

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and then you flip over and you know this chance

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>for a big upset or you're going, who is this guy? Yeah,

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>even just the planning of like figuring out where all

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the games are on now and which ones you're gonna

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>watch and at what time and then all right, where

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna eat because I've got this Villanova game

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that I want to watch, But then I gotta figure

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>out food and whatever else. I love all that stuff.

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Plus you cram and I was really good at cramming

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>for an exam in college. And that's what I think

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>most of us do when it comes to filling out

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>our brackets. You're going, I have no idea how good

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Northern Iowa is, but you're convinced the guy play. Yes,

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>these these two are gonna go on around. Yeah, veteran

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>guard play, of course. I always love it. You know, guys,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>when the analysts would try to be us their way through,

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, they didn't know much about a team, but

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, they got good guard play. Uh, they're

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>well coached, they play hard. Yeah, plumb. Yeah, the scrappy

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>NC State team, Dan, they gotta get it down to

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>their bigs if they're gonna get to the next round.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>That's the only way you can do it. What other

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>poll questions do you have? McLean and we've lost mcleven.

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that his heart peat? Is he getting a ultrasound

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>now or whatever? Yeah? Mcleven, you can hear us. That's

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, we can't hear you. I want to stick

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>with that last pole question though, because you coming right

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>out of the gate today saying you'd rather not watch

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl. It's pure fire. It's not that I

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>would not want to watch it. I would just rather

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>watch the first days of the tournament. Maybe because we

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>don't have the tournament this year. Maybe maybe because of that.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Then you go, okay, I'm gonna miss this. Yeah. Point

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the results could be skewed, obviously, because we're doing it

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 1>right now. We've done this before. But like the super Bowl,

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>it's crapshoot. I would say every other super Bowl is great,

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you have a Rams Patriots super Bowl, where

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>if you told me, I would have missed that. I've

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>been fine, nothing happened. That's like what largely the most

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>forgettable super Bowl of all time is that Rams Patriots.

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's just stunk. Yeah, there was nothing that

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>really stood out. I think there was one play by

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Gronk and they play that the Rams didn't make with

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the Brendon. Okay, see you tomorrow. That's nice. Yeah, Fortzee,

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>when you say you're cramming for the brackets, you don't

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>take a little mental notes at least when Seth Davis

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>or Clark Kellog or any of those guys are talking,

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they're talking about, or you're more

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>influenced through the opposite. They just they just throw stuff.

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>And when's the last time those guys won their Brackett

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Challenge a while? Yeah, Yeah, you just want to get enough.

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>You need to know a little bit about a lot

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to filling out your brackets. And because

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>there's always gonna be one team that you go, where

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>did George Mason come from? Northern Iowa? Where did they

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>come from? There's you know, Butler surprised us and then

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't surprise us. The following year, Gonzaga used to surprise people,

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>which I always love that people are like a Gonzaga,

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they're pretty good. Like, yeah, yeah, I think so,

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>because I'd always have Gonzaga going far, because Gonzaga would

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>always surprise me because you never watched the regular season

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>game with them. Yeah, Paul, going back to Butler, remember

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>that shot Gordon Hayward had half quarter of banked out. Yeah,

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and that would have been the greatest moment and say

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>tournament history. Everyone gives it the Ltner, But if Gordon

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Hayward nails that one to beat Duke from half court,

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it blows everything outside of the water. I was watching

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the I Hate Christian Latner documentary The thirty for thirty

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>last night, and that is I think the greatest college

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>basketball game ever played because of all the drama that

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>went into that. Lightner should have been thrown out of

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that game. The scrappy Kentucky players, the fact that you know,

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.839
<v Speaker 1>they hit a big shot and I think it's Sean

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Woods who hits the big shot, and then they set

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 1>up the dramatic play for Lightner. That's not even for

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the national championship. If that was for the national title,

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be no question the greatest college basketball game

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of all time. But if you look at how that,

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean one oh four, one oh three overtime and

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Lightner played a perfect game except for stepping on Timberlin.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>He played a perfect game. He was ten for ten

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>from the floor, ten for ten from the line, and

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>hit the game winning shot, hit thirty one points. And

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you're just watching that, You're going, oh my god. And

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you got two legends there. You got Patino coaching against

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>coach k I don't know what would be the second

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>greatest basketball game of all time. I do know that

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Ucla against Houston in the Astrodome brought college basketball into

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>prime time. That's a different era. It was Kareem against

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Elvin Hayes. They did have the rematch. I did cry

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that night when UCLA lost, and then they had the

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 1>rematch in the in the tournament, and I think it

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>was one oh one to sixty nine Ucla b Houston,

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>but one of two games that lu Alcindor lost. But

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that might be the other game on there. Now you

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.439
<v Speaker 1>can throw in Villanova in Georgetown, but I always tell

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>people go back to what happened during the regular season.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Villanova was a really good team, and a season team

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>and I think they lost by a couple of points.

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>They lost by less than ten points both times to Georgetown.

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they lost by you know, maybe six points.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>So to me, it wasn't a shock. They played a

0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>great game, but that's a team that won twenty four games.

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you didn't expect Harold Jensen to have a

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>perfect night, but they played the perfect game. But if

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking about the greatest college basketball game of all time,

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Duke against Kentucky, oh, don't match that up against anybody. Yeah. Pause.

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Remember we had Grant hill On about seven eight years

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>ago to talk about that game, and he'd want to

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 1>throw the baseball pass into later You remember, why is

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it called the pass? Why is it called the shot?

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Because that passes like sixty sixty feet on the money.

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the pass is harder than the shot because

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the shot, Laterner had enough time

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to actually spin one way and turn around, and you

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>had John Pelfrey guarding him. Kind so yeah, and you

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>know Laterner had enough time to catch turn, turn back

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and then hit the jumper getting that passed to him.

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a little bit tougher. Um James

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and I would join this early. Hi, James, what do

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 1>you have for me? Hey Dad, good morning, love the

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>show is all Hey, So, this year, obviously because they

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>were a boy, the tournament was not being played somebody's

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of mine and I we decided that instead of just

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>going with who's the best team, you know, from whatever year,

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>we decided to go with all time best plays. And

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to see them and we're trying to come

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:19.959
<v Speaker 1>up with some more ideas. You know, We've got like

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the last second shot Houston, Anty State over Houston. We've

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 1>got Jordan's shot with North Carolina. UM. So we just

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>so we're trying to come up with a few more

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>ideas and we're won in a few and the Felis

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>might have some suggestions for us. Well, you have Latern,

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you have Bryce Drew when Valpo beat Mississippi. UM, I

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know. We'll give it some thought here and I'm

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>sure the audience will help out as well. Thank you, James, Yes, talks.

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't there some big tius ed? That was Jim Herricks

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Bruins they won the national title. Yeah, that was a

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>big one. Yeah, one guy that probably we'll get lost

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>in history. But remember Shebazz Napier when he was at

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Yukon and the way he carried that team. You want

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>on to play in the NBA's bounced around, He's done

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>really nothing, but for that one month he had that

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>run that was just unbelievable. Well, Lebron was watching and said, hey,

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I want that guy on the team, and I think

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>did the Cavs drafted him and then Lebron left something

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>like that. It was he wanted Shebazz Napier on the team.

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, Age seven seven three d show email dre SDPA,

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick dot com. We'll check in with the Chicago Bears.

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Former Bears wide receiver Tom Waddle will join us because

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Bears have traded for Nick Foles. Have they

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 1>officially moved on from Mitchell Trubisky? Junior the third and

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you bring in Nick Foles. The reason why Nick foles

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>name was not brought up in trade talks was nobody

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 1>thought that you could trade that contract that was so

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>bad that Jacksonville signed him to. But lo and behold,

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Bears say, yeah, we'll bring him in. So

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you move up in the draft to take Mitchell Trubisky

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and now you take this contract off the Jacksonville Jaguar's hand.

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't you have just gotten Andy Dalton a lot cheaper

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have a stupid contract there, man, man Bears.

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what, the Bears better play some damn good

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>defense this year because if they don't, and this isn't

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna go well, you're gonna lose Trubisky. You'll move on

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>from him, and then you'll have Nick Foles for one

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>more year. But Cam Newton is still on the market,

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Jamis Winston still on the market, and Andy Dalton still

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>on the market. The report yesterday was the Chargers are

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>going to stay with Tyrod Taylor and probably draft a quarterback.

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that because I don't think anybody is

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>an upgrade. If I bring in Jamis cam or Andy Dalton,

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is that much of an upgrade? If any over Tyrod

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Taylor and you can draft a quarterback, and if you can,

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>if you want to move up and make a splash,

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>go up and try to get Tah. But you know,

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers missed out on Brady. I like this that

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the report was, you know this wasn't about money with Brady. Well,

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're asking for thirty million dollars, it sort of

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>is about money, just saying you know, you can't go

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>not about money. But Tom wanted thirty million dollars each

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for two years. He wanted to have a say in

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>some of the personnel decisions there. But then you hear

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the report. Hey, he didn't want to play on the

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 1>West coast. So if the Chargers came up to thirty

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars and said you can be a part

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>of the process here, what do you have gone there?

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's like everything's sort of falling in

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>place and then everything is logical here and it's not

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>about the money. And you know he wants to go

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>with Bruce Arians and another thing is inside his contract.

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know he's got to take a physical and

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>then you've got to figure out the logistics here of

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>how do you get from point A to point B?

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Or do we send people to give you a physical here? Yeah.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I like that the input into personnel things keeps that

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Brown, yeah rumor alive. Yeah yeah, And it feels

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>like that's real that that Tom wants to help out

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Brown for some reason. Does he want to help

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>out Josh Gordon because Josh Gordon says he wants to

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>play in twenty twenty. Josh Gordon has been suspended six times,

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>says he wants to play again in twenty twenty. Now

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>with the new CBA, it would have been zero times.

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I guess. Are you allowed to

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>do whatever you want? Are they even testing for peeds

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL anymore? Because it feels like, you know,

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>there's no drug testing. Are they testing for HGH and peed?

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go eighties? Well I don't. I don't think you

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>have seventies. I don't think any fans are gonna have

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a problem with you know, if they decided not to

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>test for pegs, like we all feel like, Man, if

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I played that game, I'd be using whatever they'd give me. Hh. Sure,

0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>hook me up to an IV. I'm ready to go.

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, So we'll check check in with Tom Waddle,

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.120
<v Speaker 1>who is a former Bears wide receiver in great radio

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>host ESPN one thousand in Chicago, get his thoughts on this.

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>The commissioner of the NBA has some playoff options for

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>his league. I heard from somebody yesterday in the know

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 1>about possibilities here once the playoffs start, with the NBA

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe shortening a series in the opening round to three games,

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and maybe the second round is five games, and then

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the next will be seven games after that. But imagine

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the tension, you know, can you come back and play

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 1>five games? Each team gets five games and then you

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.239
<v Speaker 1>go into the playoffs. So there's some scenarios we'll hear

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>from the commissioner coming up a little bit. Your phone calls.

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I got a lot of people who want to come

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 1>up with the best college tournament play of all time.

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Chris Jenkins from Villanova is a big one. Now that's

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a big shot. When you have one that wins the title,

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that's the big one. And we've had a few of those.

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's was I mean it wasn't it was my fifteen

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 1>foot jumper. I mean he did take it early in

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the shot clock where you're going, Mike, and then of

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 1>course you had the Fred Brown situation at the other end,

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>but Mike didn't. He got the opening, took it and

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 1>ended up winning the title. There eighteen after the hour,

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if we can reconnect with mclovin. We'll take

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a break, we'll come back check in with the logic

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>behind what the Chicago Bears just did. And finally, Jacksonville

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.120
<v Speaker 1>made a smart move, and it's been a long time

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>since I've been able to say that. Nineteen after the Hour,

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>If you had to miss one first four days of

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the NCAA tournament or the Super Bowl, which one would

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.439
<v Speaker 1>you pick. We'll check in with the Chicago Bears, who

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>surprised a lot of folks yesterday and they brought in

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Nick Foles. We'll talk to Tom Waddle here in a moment.

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Brandon in South Carolina, Hey Brandon, how are you? Hey? Dan?

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you doing? I wanted to weigh in two things.

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>This game of the six overtime game between Ukan and Syracuse.

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 1>That's a great, great, great game, yep. And one of

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the best shots ever was Marvin Chalmers winning the National

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Championship over the Memphis Tigers. All right, those are both

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>really good. I still think Duke Kentucky Christian Lightner's the

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>greatest game I ever saw because Kentucky had no business

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>taking them into overtime, even hanging with him. He had

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Mashburn and a bunch of guys who were not

0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>going to play in the NBA. Rick Patino going against

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Mike Huschevski Lightner, the fact that he should have been

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 1>thrown out of that game, and he played. He played

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the perfect game. He made every shot, including the one

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 1>that you had them advanced in the Eastern Regional. A

0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 1>more phone calls coming up here, Let's get to Tom Waddle,

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the former Chicago Bear wide receiver and the co host

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>of Waddle and Sylvie two to six on ESPN one

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>thousand in Chicago. Morning. Tom, How are you? I'm doing well, Dan?

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>How are you guys? So if everyone is safe and healthy,

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>If I said you could watch one of these, the

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl or the first four days of March Madness,

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.879
<v Speaker 1>what would you take? Super Bowl? I'm a football guy. Now.

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>I like basketball, don't get me wrong, but you know,

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>footballs in my blood. All right? What did you want

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bears to do before they brought in Nick Foles?

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 1>What did you want them to do this season? Interesting?

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted them to upgrade a lot of spots on

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 1>their offense. They were pretty pitiful in a lot of areas,

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and they were twenty ninth in yards per game. They

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>were twenty ninth in points per game. They didn't run

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the football. I wanted them to secure their offensive line.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get them to make a significant upgrade

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 1>at tight end, but certainly it all circles back to

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, and I wanted them to find somebody that

0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:00.960
<v Speaker 1>ken the defenses as a lead as this one is

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 1>helped lead them to the Promised Land. And with a

0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>familiarity with Nick Foles, with Matt Nagge and the rest

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 1>of the new coaches that he's he's put together, I

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:14.400
<v Speaker 1>think that obviously familiarity was high on their list with Nick.

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I do I think they're upgrade. I think it's an upgrade. Look,

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not suggesting that Nick Foles is going to be

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the reincarnation of you know, Aaron Rodgers five six years ago,

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>but Nick Foles is a dan. I think Nick Foles

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>is a professional quarterback, especially in this offense, that he

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>knows like the back of his hand. He knows where

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.399
<v Speaker 1>the football is supposed to go. Now, will it always

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 1>get there? Maybe not, But he understands the offense, and

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 1>he understands how to read defenses, and he understands how

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to go through his progressions, and would you know, it

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds awful, but I'm not so sure that that Mitch

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>was really in the same category. I don't know that

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>he possesses all of that in comparison to Nick, but

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Nicks the veteran and as I said, has experienced in

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>this offense. So what's Mitchell Trubisky's future in Chicago? I

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.880
<v Speaker 1>may be in the minority, but I don't think it's

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's a very stable one. Dan. I

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think you give up a fourth round pick in

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty one million dollars guaranteed when A you don't have

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>a ton of draft currency and B you have some

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.959
<v Speaker 1>tight salary cap situations. So to give up what they

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 1>gave up for Nick Foles, I may be crazy, but

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you give up a fourth tay him

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty one million guaranteed and bring him to Chicago and

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 1>send him behind a young quarterback who has struggled in

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback that I don't believe the coach believes him.

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 1>That seems to be foolish to me. How did they

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>whiff on Trubisky and not only wif they moved up

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to whiff on him and moved up and decided to

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>pass on Watson and Mahomes. It's the question that has

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 1>left a ton of Bear fans, including myself pacing my

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>house at this time, banging my head against walls, and

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>one that I I really can't I can't come to

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a solid conclusion. Look, I get that you could have

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>missed on Mahomes. Obviously the Kansas City Chiefs didn't and

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>they were they were sold from day one. But how

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>do you miss on Deshaun Watson, who was the best

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>player in the country on the biggest stage, under the

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>brightest lights, against virtually a professional defense that he faced

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in Alabama, and he excelled the way he did. I

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:33.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean, listen, I've prefaced everything I've said

0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 1>over the course of the last three years is I

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to feel like I'm bashing Mitch because I

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 1>know Mitch is a wonderful kid who was a hard

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>worker and he's a great teammate, but he hasn't been

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 1>a very good quarterback and we're in the business of

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>winning games. I don't know, Dan, I they must have

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.480
<v Speaker 1>fallen in love with what they saw his thirteen game

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>career in North Carolina, and it just it's a it's

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 1>an answer that I can't find a good one or

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a question I can't find a good answer. But you've

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 1>been around these gems and these coaches. They love the unknown,

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>they love the potential for something. And I've always said,

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about a pro day. I don't care

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.439
<v Speaker 1>about the combine. Put on the tape. That's why when

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>people were discounting Teddy Bridgewater, oh y had a horrible

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 1>pro day, Put on the tape and tell me how

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>tough he is. And the same with DeShawn Watson. I

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>think that the Bears probably looked at Deshaun Watson and goes, Okay, well,

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>we know that's his ceiling probably and he did pretty well.

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:33.200
<v Speaker 1>But look at this guy over here. You know, he's

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>only played thirteen games, Like this is what we get.

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.680
<v Speaker 1>This is how we get into trouble with maybe Baker Mayfield,

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>with Dwayne Haskins. It's these one year wonders where we

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>go look at that and then you go, oh my god.

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean even Joe Burrow the previous year was pedestrian

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 1>like and then he had the unbelievable one season. So

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's these gms. They talked themselves in and

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.120
<v Speaker 1>out of things, and I think that's what the Bear did. Yeah,

0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you, And I think there's some people

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in town that have given Ryan a ton of credit

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>for his conviction. Well, I trade conviction for competence every

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.719
<v Speaker 1>day of a week. So look, I think if you're

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna go with a guy who only had one year

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>in college, at least go with a guy that won

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman Trophy. You know what I'm saying, Like, I

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>can understand Kyler Murray. You picked Kyler Murray because the

0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.200
<v Speaker 1>one season that he did play, he was outstanding. I

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 1>get it for some of these guys. And again, I'm

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:32.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to go to confession because I feel awful

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.159
<v Speaker 1>all the time by saying bad things about men. But

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:38.360
<v Speaker 1>but look, he you know, he had a nice year

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 1>with North Carolina in the one year that he played.

0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know how you fall in love with

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that and you move up and give up draft currency

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to making the second overall pick when you had Deshaun

0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Watson sitting there. I just, I mean, I'm baffled. Former

0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Bears wide receiver Tom Wandald joining us on the program.

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 1>If I gave you the Buccaneers or the Bears more

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>wins this year, Wow, I actually think the Bucks are

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 1>going to be a wild card team, and I think

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the Bears are also going to be a wild card team.

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 1>So now I have to decide which one has the

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 1>better record. I am going to suggest to you that

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Bears will have the letter record book. I

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>like what Tampa's done, you know, And my first thought

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 1>was why because I thought Tom was going back to

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>New England, because that it was the best decision for both.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>But look, everyone's talking about Mike Evans. Mike Evans is

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>a hell of a player. Chris god Wins the hell

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.359
<v Speaker 1>of a receiver as well. I mean, you've got something.

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:47.199
<v Speaker 1>The one thing I'm concerned about with Tampa is they

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>gave up forty five sacks last year. But they also

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I think through the football more than anyone else, and

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you'll have the same situation with Tom.

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 1>He'll get the ball out quickly. I think it was

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a defensive played significantly better in the second half of

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the season and then they did in the first half,

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think they were watch seven and nine and

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:06.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those those those losses were by a

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.879
<v Speaker 1>smaller margin. And I think you removed some of the

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 1>mistakes with turnovers that Jamis was guilty of. And I

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:15.800
<v Speaker 1>think you've got a chance there. So um, yeah, Caroline

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to be rebuilding some the Falcons or a

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>roller coaster. The Saint to the obviously the strength of

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>that division. But I'm gonna go out on a limb

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:27.119
<v Speaker 1>and say that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win nine or

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>ten games this year. Yeah, I think I thought they

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:31.040
<v Speaker 1>were gonna be a playoff team even if they didn't

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>get Brady, if you put Teddy Bridgewater in there, because

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>look at all the turnovers. You know that that that's

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>killed that team, and you get somebody who can take

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 1>care of the football. You got a good defense, and

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you can make some place with those wide receivers. You

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 1>got two good tight ends. I just I thought that

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>they were on the verge of being a playoff team.

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you, and sometimes the best route is

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure Bruce arians has said this to several

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of his quarterbacks over the course of time. And Bruce

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>has got what Aderful resumes, Hey, this is you don't

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>have to win this game for us, kid, but don't

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 1>be the reason why we lose. And if you go back.

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Jamis has got a ton of talent, but thirty interceptions,

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>six or seven fumbles, and you could see some of this.

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not suggesting that I'm a football prophet,

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>but when he came out of Florida State, some of

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the same decisions. The decision making on the field, I

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>won't even know. I'll talk about the off the field stuff,

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>but the on the field decisions were questionable at times,

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and there was a high number of interceptions even at

0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Florida State. And you know, it's not a huge surprise

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that some of those issues have manifest themselves here at

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the NFL level. Great to talk to you, Tom, tell Sylvie.

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 1>We said hello, we appreciate your time. As always, you

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>got it. Thank you. Dan be Well, that's Tom Waddle,

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the former Bear co host of Waddle and Sylvie Afternoon

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Drive and ESPN one thousand in Chicago. I was curious

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>about win totals here with what happened this past week.

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 1>The Buccaneers went from eight and a half to nine

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and a half wins the Patriots. The Patriots were at

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 1>nine now they're at eight and a half. After Brady

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>announced that he was leaving, I thought, I thought Brady's

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought that maybe Tampa would Well, you're trying to

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>get action here. I would take the Buccaneers. I would

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>take the over with nine and a half the Patriots.

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Could you see the Patriots going nine and seven, eight

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and eight, because Buffalo is all in. Like Buffalo thinks,

0:30:39.720 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, we've waited, we've waited twenty years, and now

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:46.720
<v Speaker 1>we're ready, and now you've got to go after the

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>AFC East and you bring in Stefan Diggs, Josh Norman.

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo is all in. But you have three quarterbacks. When

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>you start to think about this, Josh Allen to me

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>is in a pivotal year. Baker Mayfield is in a

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>pivotal year because the Cleveland Browns will make the playoffs

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 1>this year. Everything is there. They got a really good

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>tight end, Like there's no more excuses with this, Like

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no Fredo Kitchens here. They will make the playoffs,

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and if they don't, then Cleveland will probably start looking

0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 1>for another quarterback. Mitchell Trubisky. We know that he's on

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the way out in Chicago, and you know, unless something

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 1>happens with Nick Foles where he gets a chance to

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>come back and play. But I don't see Mitchell Trubisky.

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was going to be his last year

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago now with Nick Foles. You don't bring in

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a guy who you pay him that much and you're

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>giving up a draft pick to have him back up

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell Trubisky. You know that Bear's job is open, and

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it looks like Nick Foles will. If I'm Naggie and

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to hold onto my job, I gotta get

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody who's gonna help me win games or not lose games. Uh.

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You know that's the same thing with Tampa. You know,

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Bruce arians didn't come back to have this like he

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>came back. He wanted to coach, he enjoyed it, didn't

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>want to continue broadcasting. You don't want to come back,

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden you're going, wait, what the

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>hell's going on out here? Brady hasn't thrown thirty interceptions

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in what four years a total? And jamis through that

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 1>last year. Just you know, sheer numbers there. Tampa will

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>be better because they lost games because of Jameis Winston.

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, some phone calls coming up. Let me see Tyler,

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and Michigan joins us, Tyler, what do you have for

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>me today? Hey? Damn six, what's the name of the dog? Swift? Actually,

0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>after Taylor Swift sixteen. You named your dog after Taylor Swift.

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 1>She's now alive years old. Oh that's good, all right, Swifty?

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Keep quiet now, all right? So it's a long time

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh it was a long time Bears fan. I'm skeptical.

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna get Big Richard or little Nikki of

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess Foles is gonna be your guy. I'm

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna guess. Thanks for thanks for calling Dan. Based on

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:28.239
<v Speaker 1>nick Ball's career history, he's due for a big year.

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Twenty thirteen, twenty seven touchdowns, two picks, nothing, nothing, nothing,

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl MVP, nothing, nothing, And now he's with the Bears.

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 1>He's got the weirdest career in sports history. Do you

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>think his is stranger than Kurt Warner? It's getting there

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 1>because Kurt Warner with a league MVP, I know. Then

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 1>he lost his job the ELI and we forgot all

0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 1>about him, and then all of a sudden he went

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to Arizona. If Nick Foles has a last act and

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.680
<v Speaker 1>he's only thirty, I think he turns thirty one in

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months. Yeay, he just turned thirty, won

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Nick Foles. But that's such a hefty price to bring

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in I mean that that was such a bad contract

0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 1>when Jacksonville, because Jacksonville made a mistake on Blake Mortals

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and then you bring in Nick Foles, but you draft

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew. So I gotta give you credit for drafting

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew, but I gotta give you a whole lot

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 1>of blame for all that. I mean, they made so

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 1>many poor decisions in Jacksonville, and they were so clear.

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>What were they up ten points on the Patriots in

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the AFC title game and they fell apart and then

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>continue to fall apart. And now so it's Gardner Minshew,

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournette and now you're on a rebuild. Now that's

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 1>a team. I wonder you're not tanking. What about Jacksonville

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 1>for Trevor Lawrence, Not that that would make Trevor excited,

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:01.919
<v Speaker 1>But you know, somebody is going to be the worst

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>team in football, and there has to be somebody who's

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the worst team. You know, the Bengals they might be,

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the Redskins might be, Jacksonville might be, and there'll be

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.479
<v Speaker 1>a team where you go, boy, they're worse than I thought.

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.759
<v Speaker 1>There's always two or three teams better than what you think.

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:21.759
<v Speaker 1>And two or three teams who are worse than what

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.239
<v Speaker 1>we think. Remember the Raiders. We thought, God, the Raiders

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 1>are going to be horrible. And then as the season

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.880
<v Speaker 1>moved on, when I declared the Raiders might make the playoffs,

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and then I think they lost their next three games.

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the Raiders are going to be on

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the cusp here as well of being a good team

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:41.000
<v Speaker 1>playoff team. More phone calls coming up. Some people want

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk about colleagues basketball today. This would have been

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:48.200

<v Speaker 1>my god, please the days he well here it is

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the first time of Chicago book. This went shot out

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:16.319
<v Speaker 1>isolation for Michael. Regie Miller, knowing that Jordan has been

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>struggling from the video, did the wise thing and got

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 1>off of because you know, Michael was thinking it was possible.

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Drive here, Gavin the chupper and Michael finally nails courtesy

<v Speaker 1>of NBC Chicago native Kanye West with the song Homecoming,

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jordan comes back. That was twenty five years ago.

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:38.640
<v Speaker 1>He scored nineteen seven of twenty eighth from the floor. Wait,

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Michael had a bad game in his career. Pacers go

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:44.879
<v Speaker 1>on to win it one oh three nineties six. Don't

0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 1>know if the numbers are accurate, but that might have

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 1>been the most watched NBA regular season game up to

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that point. Twenty five million people watched that game on

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:30.960
<v Speaker 1>have for me? Well? Two thirty five six two Hey listen? Um, yeah,

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I got an idea about the NBA playoffs. I like

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys to kind of kick ground a little bit,

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:39.200
<v Speaker 1>um beings that we've missed the March madness, you know,

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the insanity, and the NBA is who knows what we're

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna get. But how about doing um, you know, when

0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:49.800
<v Speaker 1>when they come back, maybe doing like a double elimination tournament,

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, one on one, not single elimination. If you

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>lose you go to the Lizard bracket, but that might

0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:59.279
<v Speaker 1>get some of the excitement of the march madness back

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, kind of kick it around, throw

0:39:01.040 --> 0:39:03.839
<v Speaker 1>something different at us and see you know what kind

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 1>of viewership you get. Yeah, well you're going to get

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:09.200
<v Speaker 1>viewership anyway. Cow thanks for the phone call, because you're

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 1>going to have basketball back. But we'll talk to Chris Mannox.

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 1>He covers the sports for Sports Illustrated, and the commissioner

0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 1>had some ideas yesterday. Once again, what I was told

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that was being at least explored or discussed. This isn't final.

0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 1>It was just discussed, and that is could you do

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the first round best of three, second round best of five,

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.719
<v Speaker 1>and then you do best of seven after that? You

0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 1>get that those first round, second round, that's pretty intense.

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.800
<v Speaker 1>The best of three. You're going to get people's attention

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:42.040
<v Speaker 1>there because you might get some upsets there. But I

0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:45.399
<v Speaker 1>still believe the NBA is going to have playoffs this year.

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:49.520
<v Speaker 1>But right now where we are, when that could happen?

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.840
<v Speaker 1>When do we start basketball again? Without sounding insensitive, but

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is our job in the world of

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>sports to try to discuss these things, handicap these things

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.399
<v Speaker 1>and the commissioner is exploring a lot of different things

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's got time to do that. He's got that's

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>all he has is time right now. But once you

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 1>know they get cleared and they're able to play, are

0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 1>you gonna have a five game regular season and then

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna start the playoffs? Are you gonna start the

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 1>playoffs right away? So a few things to discuss with

0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Chris Mannox coming up, pull up date there, mclovin, Are

0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you with us? I think so sixty eight percent would

0:40:27.200 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 1>rather watch the first four days of the tournament than

0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl? Okay, you know it's recency bias and

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we don't have any basketball this year

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 1>March madness. And I was thinking about that with you know,

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:43.360
<v Speaker 1>some of these schools that had a great opportunity, like Dayton.

0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Dayton's not a perennial power, but Dayton was going to

0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:50.200
<v Speaker 1>be a number one seed, and you had Obi Toppin,

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 1>who you could make a case to the best player

0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>in basketball this year. San Diego State would have been

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.840
<v Speaker 1>a good story there against him, East Tennessee State, Rutgers,

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:00.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of teams in that I could have

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 1>made things very interesting yeah. And this we say it

0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:05.319
<v Speaker 1>every year. Boy, this is it. It's gonna be wide

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:08.359
<v Speaker 1>open this year. This really, this truly would have been

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>wide open, although you know Bill self and Kansas probably

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.120
<v Speaker 1>say yeah, it would have been wide open as to

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 1>who would play us for the national title. Leo in

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky joins us. Hey Leo, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:26.600
<v Speaker 1>H five nine A wiry one fifty five um. And

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:29.720
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I'm calling from your old stomping grounds, Richmond, Kentucky.

0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I just in a quick quick comment, don't apologize.

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 1>You guys are offering a distraction that we all need

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>from something we all love in this so, you know,

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 1>please keep up the good work. Thank you. One of

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the one of the things I want to add one

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of the best college games at all time, and I

0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>liked where you were going get away from the tournament

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.759
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. In twenty thirteen, U of L and

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame with five overtimes in a Saturday night game.

0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it was the maybe the the you know

0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 1>college game day game. Um, you know, Patino, it was

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>just insane. I think it went into midnight. It was

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:11.239
<v Speaker 1>one O four to one on one Notre Dame one. Um,

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I was going crazy. I remember looking at my son

0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:15.839
<v Speaker 1>at the time, around midnight, I said, I can't take

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:19.759
<v Speaker 1>this anymore off. It was just was really throw up. UM.

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 1>My daughter was trying to sleep. It was past her

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.280
<v Speaker 1>bedtime and she was getting angry because I was screaming.

0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:29.239
<v Speaker 1>But both teams had like fifty four rebounds each. Um.

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Just just an incredible game. Yeah, there have been quite

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a few great regular season games, thank you, Leo. But

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 1>we were looking at the tournament. We were talking about

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the most. I think the Kentucky Duke game with Latner.

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 1>That's the That's the greatest college basketball game that I've

0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. I think the most powerful game, the most

0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:52.279
<v Speaker 1>important game ever played. You go back to UCLA and

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Houston and that was in the Astrodome nineteen sixty eight.

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe with lu Al Sindor and Elvin haste because

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that was in prime time, you know, college basketball in

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>prime time and you were playing in the Asterdome and

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>lu Al Sendor had a scratched cornea, he had a

0:43:10.760 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 1>patch over one of his eyes and he didn't play well.

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And Elvin Hayes was unbelievable. I think Elvin may have

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>gone for forty four in that game, but you had

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Guy Lewis who could never win the big one, going

0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:27.080
<v Speaker 1>against John Wooden. And it was a strange, sterile atmosphere

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.799
<v Speaker 1>there because you had a basketball court in the Asterdome

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and the fans were so far removed from the court.

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 1>And also depth perception of shooting, you know, hoops in

0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 1>an arena like that, a stadium like that. You normally

0:43:41.600 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't have that, you know, we didn't have Mars. Madden

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:46.840
<v Speaker 1>has played in front of these big building, in these

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:50.719
<v Speaker 1>big buildings that would house a football team, you know,

0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:55.920
<v Speaker 1>football stadium. But that was an important game. But I

0:43:56.280 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>think the greatest game ever played was Duke against Kentucky.

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:02.480
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we'll take a break. Chris Bannocks will join

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:04.920

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:08.920
