The only doubt was if it 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.479 was going to stay fair. We just had John Smoltz on. 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.720 He said from their vantage point, it was fair. Am 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:53.040 five to seventy. LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network with the call. 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.280 On this day. In two thousand and four, David Ortiz 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.640 hit a walk off against the Yankees that was a 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.920 two on homer in the twelfth inning. Boston won game 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.640 for the Alcs. That started the great comeback there and 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.680 the guy who was part of that comeback, Dave Roberts, 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.000 was with the Red Sox, had the big stolen base 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.039 against Marianna Rivera later in the series, and Roberts was 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.880 asked about postseason baseball in New York. 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.440 You are a part of some pretty important LCS history 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:25.200 in New York. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.839 What's it like to be back in New York in October? 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.640 Yeah, it feels great. It's you know, you live to play, 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:37.120 you know, in October baseball, and certainly this market is 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.240 always fun. I love beating that team across town. I 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.479 think everyone on this side of town does too. And yeah, 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.560 it's it's it's a great, it's it's great. You know, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.040 there's just really no better place. And I'd rather be 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.040 no place in the world than right here in New 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:53.760 York right now. 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.720 And it was magical because I was doing Sports Center 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:03.040 and I saw Yankee players, Red Sox players, Red Sox 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:09.160 players congratulating the Yankees, and I was shocked at that. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.440 So they hadn't completed the sweep, but they were already 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:18.680 congratulating them. Some two players were congratulating the Yankees about 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.720 going to the World Series. And then you had some 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.480 magic and then it continued. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.440 Yes, Mark, the David Robert, the David the Dave Roberts 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.560 stolen base is that same. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.040 Game, oh okay against Rivera Yep. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.880 Yeah, And Jorge Posada threw He threw that ball perfect 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.640 the second base and Roberts just barely beat it. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.480 Yes, one of the biggest stolen bases in postseason history. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.320 Yeah, Pauline, I'm just watching the replay. I don't think 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.959 I remembered how close that throw was. I would have 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.960 yelled it out. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:58.240 At Yankee Stadium. Yeah. Yeah, uh, just just every game 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.880 after that. I saw Spike Lee in the stands along 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.919 the first baseline every game I was doing Sports Center, 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.079 and then you know, we in between breaks on Sports Center, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.600 and he would say, who do you like? And I said, 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.280 every game after that, so it's three to one. I said, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:20.280 I like the Red Sox, and he goes, I'd see 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.519 him the next game, who do you like? I like 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.000 the Red Sox. And then you know, we got to 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.040 the game seven and he goes, I'm not even going 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.400 to ask you who you like. I said, I like 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:36.360 the Red Sox, And uh, just what a wild, wild 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.200 time that was, because you're thinking, man, the Red Sox 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.120 are never going to do this, They're gonna They're getting 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.920 embarrassed here, they're getting roughed up, they're getting crushed, they're 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.080 getting embarrassed. And then big Poppy's home run, what that 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.000 meant when he hit it, and just you talk about 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.360 riding a wave of emotion, momentum, and it just didn't 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.440 feel like they were ever going to stop. Like we 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.480 got to the World Series and it was so much 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.800 an anticlimactic moment. It was a boring World Series. It 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.160 was a sweep and I don't think we ever thought 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.880 the Cardinals could win, and that proved to be true. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.320 But I just remember, you talk about something that's tangible, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.440 like momentum is like you can't really put your hands 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.560 on it, grab it, put your arms around it, but 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.000 you know it's there. And then you saw it and 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.279 you saw it in a team that then started to believe. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.120 And I remember when the Dodgers when Kurt Gibson hit 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.919 that home run, And you want to talk about a 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.719 team that was already an underdog against the big bad 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.039 Oakland A's and nobody thought that they could win this series. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.360 They didn't have any real stars. They had Oral Herscheizer 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.600 and then Gibby Homer's and then you see, you can 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.760 just see it, feel it, sense it that it's there 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.800 now all of a sudden, It's like when Tyson got 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.359 hit by buster Douglas and he loses his mouthpiece, like 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.520 he was never the same after that because they took 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:15.479 away his invincibility. Who's the female UFC fighter, Ronda Rousey 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.560 when she got knocked out, it had left, she was done. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.560 She would never have that invincibility. Connor McGregor. All of 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.800 a sudden, you get your ass kicked and then you're 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.760 never the same. We don't look at you the same. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.479 And that's what it felt like with the Yankees. That's 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.360 what it felt like with the Oakland A's against the Dodgers. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.360 It's like, we're not afraid of you, and we're gonna 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.279 put you on your heels. We're gonna make you start 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.400 to think. Because Oakland that felt like a foregone conclusion. 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.960 That team was loaded, and you just had that momentum. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.760 And there have been moments through history that I've been 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.880 able to witness where you go, oh my god, it 0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:01.479 just changed, like that just changed. Ohio State against Miami 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.560 National Title Game, like you could feel the momentum all 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.400 of a sudden change. Willis mcgaye, he gets his knee 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.679 blown out all of a sudden, It's like, oh my god, 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.480 you could just sense Ohio State started to believe that 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.719 they could beat one of the more talented teams we've 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:22.760 seen in college football history. But that's the magic of sports, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.960 where one moment, one game, one swing, and then it 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.240 changes everything, and it certainly did back in two thousand 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:31.600 and four. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.560 Yeah, Pauline, I'm just watched back on YouTube the eighty 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.960 eight World Series Kirk Gibson's homer for the Dodgers Game one, 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.440 and Vin Scully's on the call, thank god, And after 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.840 he comes out, Vin Skelly just lays out, he goes, well, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.440 if you look at how he's walking, it's all or nothing. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.600 Anything in the infield or even in the outfield. He's 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.760 not getting the first base bang. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:07:00.960 Yeah, and Eck was so dominating and he just Gimmy 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.800 was looking for one pitch and you know, he sat 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.279 on that pitch and one armed it out to right field. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.200 But I think seeing those moments in real time for 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.440 forty years to be able to go, oh my goodness, 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.880 this just changed, and to be there at Yankee Stadium 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.320 and that feeling where you know, Okay, we're going to sweep, 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.240 and then you're not going to sweep and you're going 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:29.760 to beat RIVERA big poppy Homers. Okay, that's just one game. Well, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.280 they couldn't separate one game from the next game, from 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.679 the next game from the next game when the ball 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.840 goes through Buckner's legs. And then there were a couple 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:45.240 of rain rainout days, and then you had Game seven 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.400 and you were wondering, could that momentum, you know, continue 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.040 with the Mets. And I think the Red Sox led 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.200 in that bruce Hurst I think was on the mound, 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:56.880 you know, he was dealing, and then all of a 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.400 sudden they came back and they ended up winning that. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.880 So you just have these moments, and there have been 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.000 so many of them. I'm just off the top of 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.960 my head trying to recall where you have something where 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.040 you can actually pinpoint it, you can sense it, you 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.640 can feel it in the building, and that's what's so magical. Yes, Marv. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.760 Netflix has a documentary about the Comeback from the Red 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.559 Sox premiere in October twenty third, so perfect timely. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.640 They didn't ask me, Oh, I'm sorry, I was right there. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.240 There's been a couple of documentaries. I'm like, huh, yeah, you're. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:29.440 Not in it. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.080 Well, the Jordan one, that one I should have been 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.719 in Pete rose M. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:37.120 Yeah. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.400 I was around Pete a lot. Yeah. They even wrote 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.720 a recent book on Charlie Hustle and never reached out 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.960 like we had. I had access to him that from 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:53.400 a national perspective, nobody had, and I was surprised at that. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.200 And then all the interviews I did with Jordan, but 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.199 you know, for whatever reason, and I've been told there 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.839 are reasons why certain people weren't in that documentary. Whether 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.360 it pertains to me or not with Jordan, I don't know, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.360 but uh, yeah, I still enjoyed it. But I was there. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.000 I did as many of his highlights. I did more 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.640 of his highlights than anybody did, probably myself and Stuart Scott. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.480 And then I was out there covering those playoff games 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:24.840 and you know, his championship. So yeah, just moments like 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.240 that where you're just like damn, being in the building 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.800 and being able to experience it and actually seeing history 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.240 and history changing right in front of you because you're like, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.400 this team's gonna win, and then all of a sudden 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.280 something happens you go, this team is not gonna win. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.560 Yes, Mark, going back to Dave Roberts, is he in 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.559 the Malcolm Butler category as far as he is revered 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.520 in his city off of one play, almost like Mookie Wilson. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.520 Well, he didn't win, he didn't win the championship. Malcolm 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:56.760 Butler won the Super Bowl. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.959 Well, I'm just saying you'll never forget that play. Maybe 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.480 I'm not wording it right. Not they won a championship 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.920 because of that. But in Boston, whenever he goes back 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.120 to Boston, he'll get a standing ovation because they'll never 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:11.240 forget that stolen base. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.679 Unless it's the Dodgers against the Red Sox in the 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.280 World Series, then he probably won't get a standing. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:17.880 Well, you don't have to worry about the rest in the world. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.360 Yes, it is interesting. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.280 I'm looking back at Dave Roberts playing career, and you know, 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.960 he bounced around over ten years. You know, had some 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.360 seasons where he played a lot. He was in Boston 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:33.640 for half a season, forty five regular season games and 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.199 then that postseason. But it does feel like he's branded 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.120 of that one night in Boston. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.960 Yeah. Wow. Well, there's certain franchises like Bucky Dent is 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.439 always going to be Bucky f and Dent, you know 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.680 with you know, the with the Yankees, Boone with his 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.040 home run the Yanks. But the Yankees, Yeah, they've had 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.440 so many of these moments, Like they have to take 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.600 kind of the Yankees out of the equation. They've they've 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.480 had all of these. Don Larson through a per game, 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.719 You'll have these moments with the Yankees with all their championships. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.800 It's when you have a team a city that wins 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.680 a championship and somebody contributes where they're not the star, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.720 but you couldn't have won it without them. NBA has 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.360 a lot of those players where you needed that guy 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.400 or those guys in the history of that franchise. You 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:27.679 remember them, maybe you know, the average casual sports fan 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.719 may not, but then you go, oh, remember he hit 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.280 that shot. Like Robert ori Orio is always going to 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.319 be remembered for two different franchises with hitting big shots. 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.200 But his career, you know, it wasn't a full career 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.480 as far as you know, being a great player, but 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:54.720 what he did for those who else uh Pasing Paxing 0:11:54.840 --> 0:12:01.280 Kerr Yeah, uh, Derek uh Yeah, Fisher will be in 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:01.600 there too. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.600 Going back to David Tyree with the New York Giants. Yeah, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.120 he's from Livingston, New Jersey and he went to Syracuse. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.400 So It's not like he's from Alabama and was going 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.679 to move back home. He could stay in Livingston, New Jersey, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.360 and I'm sure he could pick up autograph signings or 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.040 they bring up events with the around the Giants. He's 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.720 on lifetime Hall pass and. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.720 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.199 That's like the kind of dude who opens a restaurant 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.120 or something, or like a bar and you fill it 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.360 with memorabilia and you're like, heck, yeah, man, come down here. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:31.720 I'll just I'll be there every night. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.960 All you need to do is have that football on 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.400 his helmet. Yeah, exactly, Just put it up there like 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.720 you would a moose or a bear. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.880 Say hello to some people, be like, yeah, that game 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.680 was awesome, right, Yeah, that was a hell of a catch. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.720 Yeah I know. Yeah, he's sick. You want the pasta 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:45.319 all right? 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:45.640 Great? 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:55.360 He could know who is TOMMYO Oh my god, that 0:12:55.480 --> 0:13:00.120 was arguably the most hilarious fifteen minutes of fame in 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:00.959 recent memory. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.880 Tommy the vit though his agent, Oh my god, is 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.960 Tommy DeVito still on the Giants roster? 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.600 You still can't convince me that that whole thing wasn't 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:10.880 a bit. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.200 It did feel almost like this is a made for 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.080 TV type play. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.280 It was for TikTok or something in that. I just 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.240 didn't know the account. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:24.160 Tommy Davitto is still on the Giants roster just in case, 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.280 in case of emergency break glass, But didn't he when 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:29.960 you're gonna get paid a certain amount of money to 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.400 show up at a pizzeria and then he wanted more, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:34.720 and all of. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.280 A sudden he had a good game there, like it's 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:37.200 twenty five grand. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:37.800 Yeah. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.440 Oh, I don't know if it was DeVito or the 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.559 agent jumped in and decided let's get twice as much 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.600 money and ends up making him look bad. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.720 I'm guessing the agent played probably a larger role in that. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.800 Out of Delio's today, like, yeah, man, we don't have 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.319 that kind of mine. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.280 I'm going to Jersey, Mike, so I'm going to be 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.480 there signing autographs here or at a Nunzio's. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.920 Yeah, dude, we're just selling slices of pizza. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.720 How much money do you possibly want? 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.760 According to The New York Times that wrote a story 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.840 about this, by the way, of course, it was Consiglio's 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.080 old fashioned pizza and Morristown seating. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.160 A hot bet of pizza hot bed. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.800 Okay, they announced on social media. After having a deal 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.839 in place to have the Vito at their restaurant on 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.200 an off night, a Tuesday night, the owners had the 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.600 quarterback's agent call back and doubled the appearance fee from 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.360 ten grand to twenty grand. And they said twenty grand 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.600 is too steep for two hours of pizza eating and handshaking. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:37.720 It was all settled, though, Yeah, I don't even know 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.200 did he get to fifteen minutes of fame? Because he 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.520 had that opportunity there and all of a sudden, my 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.760 wife's asking me. Being Italian, she goes, who is this 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.680 Tommy de Vito? And I said, oh, he's with the Giant. No, 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.720 I'm hearing it like this is a big thing. I go, no, 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.480 it's not. Hunt it's gonna go away quickly. How do 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.560 you know that? You know? Like she gets defensive, like 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:07.560 she's she's going to defend every Italian quarterback, Dan Pastorini, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:13.440 Benny Testa Verdi, what about Dan Marino? But I said, no, no, 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.960 he's just it's it's kind of a passing thing. Hun, Okay, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.000 you sure, I go, yeah, I'm sure. She goes, it's 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.920 not an Italian thing, and I go, no, it's an 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.080 Italian thing, Tommy the Viat and that she hated. When 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.720 I do that, I say, hey, Tommy the Vita though, Yes, Mark. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:31.480 He was going to be on the wall as South 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.200 famous pizzeria. Yeah, the right thing. Get all the Italian 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.760 Hall of Fame. Tommy DeVito's up there. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.440 Tommy de Vito was up there all right. Let me 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:46.960 take a break. A former Laker calls out the Lakers 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.840 and they said, this person, they're not serious about winning 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.360 because they did one thing in the off season. Have 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.680 that for you? Coming up next, Dan Patrick. 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.720 Show, Fox Sport This radio has the best sports talk 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.520 lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.760 Foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.640 FSR to listen live. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.320 I watched the Lakers Golden State the other night. I 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.560 wanted to see Dalton connect and Uh, he's good. He's 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.360 he's gonna be in the rotation and he can hold 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:27.360 his own create create eight off the dribble, and he 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.720 can definitely hit some threes. I think he had five threes. Now, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.840 I know it's preseason basketball, but I like to see, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.280 you know kind of body language there, Are you comfortable? 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.160 And it certainly felt that way. Where he's out there 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.800 and he knows, hey, they're going to expect me to 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.280 do some things. I did see where Demarcu's cousins, who 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.480 won a championship with the Lakers, said that the team 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.040 drafting Brownie James, they're not serious about winning. 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.360 I don't really think the Lakers are serious anymore. You know, 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.840 everything that it stands for. I think, you know, Whatebron 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.440 is doing with his legacy and just you know, as 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.800 a businessman and everything that comes with it. I think 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.760 I think it's a beautiful thing. I think it's really 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.960 really dope. But as far as the Lakers actually competing, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.400 I don't know. I take that as a sign as 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.199 they aren't really serious. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:24.080 Okay, that's the Run It Back podcast. Chandler Parsons Michelle Beadle. Okay, 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.520 does he have a point here because they used a 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.679 late second round pick on Lebron's son that they're not 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:35.680 really serious? I think they got maybe a Steel and 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:40.159 Dalton connect in the first round. Could you say that 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.040 they brought in JJ Reddick? Are they serious because they 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.000 don't have somebody with coaching experience or somebody who's friends 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.560 with Lebron. I guess you can always point the finger 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.680 and say, do they need to do this? Why did 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.879 they do that? You still have Lebron, you still have 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.879 a d I mean they have the nucleus there to 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.880 be a competitive team, a good team. Now, are they 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.600 going to be the class of the West. No, because 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.280 you got to you gotta worry about some of these 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.000 other teams, like Houston is coming up, like you're gonna 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:10.639 have to deal with some of these other teams that 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:15.120 you normally don't. Memphis is gonna be with John moranp uh, 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.879 do the Pelicans figure it out? Minnesota is gonna be 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.600 really good. Denver is, you know, a good team. I 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.879 don't think they're a championship team anymore, but you know, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.879 the Suns still have a nucleus. I mean there's a 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.760 lot going on out here. But I don't think drafting 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:36.359 Brownie James means you're not serious. Now this let's go 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:40.040 back in history where you had teams who drafted Carl 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:45.199 Lewis got drafted in the NBA, pat Riley once got 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.520 drafted in the NFL, I think by the Cowboys. Now 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.560 these are later, these like are eighth round, ninth round, 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.399 when you had drafts that are a little bit longer. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.240 The fact that it's a two round draft. Do you 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.280 look at this and say, well, they're not really serious. 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.680 I think they are. If I want to keep Lebron happy, 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.920 I want to keep Lebron playing, and he's still playing 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.119 at a very high level. We see this. Look at 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.920 what's happening with Aaron Rodgers, I mean Aaron Rodgers saying 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.879 this is what I want. It feels like Lebron has 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.639 a better chance of winning a championship that Aaron Rodgers does. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.640 You do one thing for him. You bring in his son. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.399 He wants to stay, wants to play, and you're still 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.600 must see TV. You know you're the big draw in town. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.920 I don't have a problem with it. I don't think 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.560 it means they're not serious. 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.680 Yes, Mart, if they spent their first round pick on 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.760 BRONI then I'd be with you for sure. But in 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.919 the history of the NBA, the fifty fifth pick, no 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.520 one's out there like, oh, I can't believe you took 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:47.600 him with the fifty fifth pick. 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.840 Okay, so well, wait a minute, the joker when was 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:53.000 he selected. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:57.080 Like the forty first pick? Okay, well, for the Laker's sake, 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.399 they better hope that the fifty six fifty seven. The 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.720 eighth pick doesn't turn into nicole joke. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.959 If Kevin mccullor Junior becomes an All Star, Yeah, someone's 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:07.359 in trouble. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.320 Yeah, I don't think that this means they're not serious. 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.879 You don't how many late second round picks do you 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.040 actually go? Boy, they better do that. They better hit 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.440 on that one. You know, it's kind of a all right, 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.280 maybe you got somebody who can contribute. I don't expect 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.520 Bronnie James to play. I think he'll be up for 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.840 kind of a ceremonial national TV. Let's let dad and 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.400 son play, but he should be in the G League 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:39.000 learning how to play. Dalton Connect is going to be 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.960 the guy who contributes for them, or he better be. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.080 That's where if you whiff on that that, you know, 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.240 that makes it worse than you drafted Bronni in the 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.359 second round. I have no problem with it. I mean, 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.239 it's it's it's pretty cool that it happened. He had 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.880 the power to ask for that. You even had Golden State. 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:02.600 Golden State was thinking drafting him and they said no, 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:06.280 out of respect for Lebron they weren't going to do it. Okay, 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:08.880 I thought the Phoenix Suns were going to take him, 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:10.480 and I thought he might go at the end of 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.520 the first round. Now do I think he's a first 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.040 round talent, No, not yet, but I think that there 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.320 is there's an avenue for him to contribute eventually with 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:25.639 the Lakers. He's not a star player, probably not going 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.399 to be anywhere near a really good player, but he 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.640 might be able to contribute. And if it keeps lebron 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.159 engaged then and you still feel like he's worth it, 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.080 then you know, I don't have any problem with that 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:39.000 at all. 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.200 Yes, Martin Bronny could be like one of those guys 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.960 where who would like Jack Haley, Like, look, whatever team 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.600 Dennis rob is on, bring Jack Haley because that's his boy. 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:50.200
