00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: you today?

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: Well, I had Saint John's minus six and a half,

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: so I'm not doing great right now. I've already explained

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: to my three dogs and two cats that you know,

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: they're not going to be eating grain free you know,

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: food for the next for the next week. I always

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: tell people. I always tell people when you gamble, gamble

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: responsibly where your cats and dogs can still eat you know, uh,

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: grain free and live along life. Obviously, obviously I don't

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: follow my advice.

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: And you know I'm always a Mark Marvel. Look, I've

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: been obviously around the sports scene forever. The best man

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: of my wedding was a bookie.

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: I love that.

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh he was and he was he was an independent

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: operator back in the day.

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: You're you're speaking my love language.

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: And it was because of him. And actually it's it's

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: funny how this all works. I don't want to again

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: bore people with my old, old stories, but my gambling

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: history really ended abruptly in nineteen eighty one. I was

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: the year I graduated college. NCAA tournament right Thursday, and

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting all these recommendations. Tournament was smaller, wasn't even

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: sixty fourteen's back in those days. So you know, I'm

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: sitting there and I've got guys telling me, you know,

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: this is the best play, best play. So I bet six.

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: Games the first day, you know, no harm. I lose

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: all six.

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, how did that happen? I mean, the

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: odds are the same of me winning all six as

39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: lose all six. It's a flip of the coin. So

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: the next day, day two, I bet on five games

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make some of this money back. Lost

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: all five. I lost the equivalent of the time a

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: three months rent. I had crawled back to my father,

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: who was not happy, and that pretty much squashed. Outside

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: an occasional Super Bowl bet or something like that, I

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: needa that that was it. For me, and I don't

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: know if that's good or bad. I feel envious for

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: people that are totally engaged in this.

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: I know you certainly are with obviously great success.

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: Although yeah, there's gonna be days like today when Saint

51
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: John's shoo's like five percent like they did against Arkansas today.

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable. Both these teams shooting under thirty percent

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: from downtown, which which we have not seen obviously this season.

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: So a very uncharacteristic game for both Saint John's and Arkansas.

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 2: Even though Arkansas ended up winning, it was close down

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: of course, to the wire. But nonetheless, yeah, you know,

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: again I tell people like I think it's really important,

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: and you know I am in this gambling space. I

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: take it very seriously in regard to I do believe

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: that people listen to my gambling advice, uh and they

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: spend their hard earned dollars on the suggestions that I make.

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: And just to be full transparency, I have not done

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: well this this college football season because I typically I

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: like to ride the dogs, and and we are not

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: finding the dogs having any success. In fact, the favorites,

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: especially double digit favorites Steve, have won a lot like

67
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: like unheard of percentage so far this season. And I

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: was listening to the Doug Gottlieb promo for his show,

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: and and really like he hit the nail on the head.

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: NIL deals, the transfer portal has changed the landscape of

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: just college sports in general, not just in the in

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: in college basketball, but in the NFL as well. But

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: I think what we are seeing this year is, you know,

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: the young hot thing that's only going to play college

75
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: basketball for one year is not the shiny new toy anymore.

76
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: It is it is the veteran guys that are staying

77
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: in college basketball because they're making a ton of money

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: with the NIL deals and the transfer portals. So now

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: the men majors that gave us so much excitement in

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: so much parody right in college basketball. It's just it's

81
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: fallen by the wayside and it's not happening anymore.

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: Well this was, I mean. I have literally been filling

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: out brackets since the field was expanded to sixty four

84
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: schools back in nineteen eighty five, the year Villanova upset

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Georgetown in the championship game, and I have filled out

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: a bracket. I never do multiple brackets. I'm not a

87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: believer in that you know the idea, Well, I have

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: three different brackets. No, I have one bracket. Maybe I've

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: entered that bracket into two different competitions, but I only

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: do a single bracket every single year.

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: Once I filled out the bracket, that's my bracket.

92
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: And somehow, some way on Thursday, I did something that

93
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: I had never done before, and I won a perfect

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: sixteen to zero and which is and it's documented because

95
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: it's on our Fox Sports Radio competition.

96
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: So I mean, it wasn't like, oh, let me see

97
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: that bracket.

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually been posted since Tuesday, it's so it's

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: up there, and I actually pulled it off. But I

100
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of upsets. You know, I'm just

101
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: sitting there doing the brackets. It's funny because in the

102
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: first round first, you know, first two days, my record

103
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: was twenty nine to three.

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: Wow.

105
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: And two of my losses because I do this the

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: teams that win the playing games, because you know my

107
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: UCLA Bruins, you know, one from the first four to

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: the final four. You know, back in the day, VCU

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: did the same thing when Chaka Smart was so I

110
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: always picked those teams to win their first game. So

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: I had North Carolina and Xavier coming out of the

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: first four wins and winning in the first round. They

113
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: both lost. That That was two of my three losses.

114
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: The only air of the loss I had was Mississippi State.

115
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Now I had Saint John's, okay, so but I think

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: almost everybody had Saint John's except apparently Martin over here,

117
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: who had Arkansas going into the Sweet sixteen. So are

118
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: a good job?

119
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: Well do you approof do you proof Steve get proof

120
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 2: I needed?

121
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: They actually posted it. It's posted. Yeah, so he's he's

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: got that there. I'm gonna give that one to you.

123
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna hurt me all that

124
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: much because I think most people thought Saint John's.

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: I mean, here's the thing.

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: It's not gonna hurt folks if they've got Texas Tech

127
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: advancing to face Florida in the Elite eight. So no,

128
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: it won't be such a big blow. But there are

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: a number of people who had Saint John's facing Florida

130
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: and there and you know, listen, I know the majority

131
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: of brackets out there have Florida winning the whole damn thing.

132
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: So but they're for those that who were calling the

133
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: upset majority of them were Saint John's more so than

134
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Yeah, so that that could sting a little

135
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: bit more than most.

136
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the Patinos story is an amazing story.

137
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: First of all, I just love watching Caliperi and Patino.

138
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, I say this to people all

139
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: the time, I know that you followed college follow college

140
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: basketball based on one thing, how you pronounced coach Cal's name.

141
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: It's not Calipari, It's Caliperi.

142
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: Let's just make this infinitely Claire.

143
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: And how do I know that because I've interviewed him

144
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: several times and I've asked him flat out.

145
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: He really doesn't care.

146
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: But if he goes, if you're going to actually pronounce

147
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: my name, it's Calipari, It's not Calipari. It's not like

148
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Calamari Calipari, it's Caliperi. And so like our own Aaron Taurus,

149
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: who's gone all to work with coach cal always calls

150
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: him Caliperi. But I was. I was at the Meadowlands

151
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety six of the Final Four when caliperi'st

152
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: UMass team with Marcus Camby faced off against Patino's Kentucky

153
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: team that would go on to win the national championship

154
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: was at the Metal Lands. Last time that the Final

155
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: four was held in an NBA arena, Anita. And here

156
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: we are twenty nine years later and these two coaches

157
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: still going at a two Hall of famers. I'm happy

158
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: for coach Cal obviously disappointed for Rick Patino has made

159
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: a miraculous comeback from all the scandal that obviously cost

160
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: him a national championship at Louisville. But just to see

161
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: those legends on the court coaching against each other, for

162
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: me as a college basketball junkie, that gets me excited.

163
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you know, It's just it's interesting. I think

164
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: there might be a change here in regard to you know,

165
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: that first round and again, you did exceptionally well. I

166
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: did not. I took a lot of upsets like and again,

167
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: full transparency, I had high Point upsetting Purdue, right.

168
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: And by the way, you weren't the only one. There

169
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: was a lot of buzz about high Point in that game.

170
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: And the Purdue with the lost to Saint Peter's a

171
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Obviously they had the one sixteen loss.

172
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, Purdue, even though they got to the championship

173
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: game last year, A lot of people are thinking they're

174
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: going to go back to.

175
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: Their normal I know, I really really, I think the

176
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: sexy pick, the sexy upset was UCSD, m HM over Michigan.

177
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: I had them as well. I had Yale over Texas

178
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: A and m who right now is giving Michigan a

179
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: run for their money as we speak. Yes, so had

180
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: I really I came in with I had VCU over BYU.

181
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: I came in with a number of upsets that I

182
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: anticipated happening that did not transpire for me. So now

183
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: you know, I think the second round, I think this

184
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 2: is going to be interesting. I think there's going to

185
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: be a turn of the tide, and I think we

186
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: are going to see some upsets happening here. Like I

187
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: do have Texas A and m OVER over Michigan.

188
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay,

189
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: So what we're going to do, Anita, because later on

190
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to use Anita's expertise in this. Well there

191
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, but like you say, it's been, it's been we're.

192
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,400

255
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 2: would do this. I would do the same thing. I

256
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: would do the same thing. And by the way, by

257
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: the way, just to mention in regard to your read, like,

258
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends now who are like

259
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,119
Speaker 2: raising chickens so that they can cultivate their own eggs,

260
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: Like it's a thing.

261
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean believe.

262
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: It was part of your read And I was like,

263
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: Oh that's straight. And then I'm like, wait, no, that's

264
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: not strange. Like I have at least three or four friends. Well,

265
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: I have like a kid, like like you know, a coop, right,

266
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: is that what's called?

267
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I have a twenty six year old son, my

268
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: younger son living at home, who eats five egg breakfasts

269
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: every morning.

270
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: Well, now, eggs are so damn expensive, Steve it. Actually

271
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: it actually would be to raise some chickens so you

272
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: can harvest your own eggs. I'm just throwing it out there.

273
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that, Anita. Now I will like to uh,

274
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: well switch gears for a moment here, because we still

275
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of NFL news to get to. And

276
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: Johnny is right now. He is simply the best of

277
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: the best. He is our fell inside here at Fox

278
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, the great Adam Kaplan is joining us once again.

279
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about your egg intake, Adam, these.

280
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 5: Days, I'm a vegan, my man.

281
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Okay, then you don't have to worry about that. But

282
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: there are still teams trying to figure out the quarterback

283
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: situation before we get to you know, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson,

284
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: how surprised were you with this Jameis Winston situation with

285
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: the Giants.

286
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 7: Well, look, they are waiting on the Rogers situation, although

287
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 7: they know that the odds are against him getting them.

288
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 7: The Steelers won him badly, and we had his meeting

289
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 7: with the Steelers yesterday. So look, here's the thing, guys.

290
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 7: They only had Tommy DeVito on her contract, the only

291
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 7: team they only had prior to yesterday one quarterback on

292
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: the roster. They had to sign somebody. Jamis will make

293
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 7: the roster. You'll compete for a role. No, I mean

294
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 7: they had it at a quarterback. So no, I'm not surprised,

295
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 7: although I know there was I was told last night

296
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 7: there was another team involved. It was not the Browns,

297
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 7: by the way. But bottom line is Jamis's you check

298
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 7: him off.

299
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 5: Guys.

300
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 7: There are so few quarterbacks available now in veteran free agency.

301
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 7: It's Rogers, it's Russell Wilson, it's Carson wet It's got

302
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 7: some interest out there. Joe Flacco, who my understanding is

303
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 7: the Browns have some interest in bringing him back. And

304
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 7: it's pretty much. And then you got you know, Drew

305
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 7: lock Case Kingum, so the list is dwindling.

306
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: Adam, it's been a minute high mid Yeah, how are you.

307
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm great, good to hear your.

308
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 5: Voice, Aneda, and I go way, I'm taking twenty years.

309
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: Hey hey, now, yeah, that's right.

310
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: There's not enough botox in the world.

311
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: Dude.

312
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Aaron Rodgers, right because I

313
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: find this interesting. Right he wanted reports where he wanted

314
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: to go to Minnesota Vikings. They kicked that can felt

315
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: that they were going to move forward with JJ McCarthy.

316
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: Maybe they bring Ryan Tannehill to be somewhat of a mentor.

317
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: But you know, the the big reason why Aaron Rodgers

318
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: came to the Jets was because, you know, it was

319
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: it was an offensive system that they brought an offensive

320
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: coordinator that knew the system like, and it was his

321
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: system and it was what he was familiar with and

322
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: he didn't have to learn a new system. Whether he

323
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: goes to the Pittsburgh Stealers with Arthur Smith, whether he

324
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: goes to the Giants with Brian Dabele, those are two,

325
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: you know, teams that I don't feel are going to

326
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: like change their offensive philosophy for Aaron Rogers right now.

327
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: No they're not.

328
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 7: I mean no, no, they're not. First of all, he's

329
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 7: forty one and a half years old. He could not

330
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 7: move last season. He had two injuries Hampshire extrain MCL's brain.

331
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 7: He just is you wonder physically how he's doing.

332
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: I mean he ended the season.

333
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 7: I was told healthy, but you're worry about that as

334
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: quarterbacks get in the forties that just don't move as well.

335
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Arthur Smith is a run first guy.

336
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 7: I mean that that's you know, what he wants, and

337
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 7: he wants decisive quarterbacks. You know, as I reported about

338
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 7: six weeks ago, Smith led the coaches and wanting to

339
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 7: bench Russell Wilson, but they were told they couldn't do it.

340
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 7: So it is funny though, guys that Russell Wilson I'm

341
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 7: told to still on their list, believe it or not.

342
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 5: It's a long shot.

343
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 7: Because they want Rogers, but the Steelers are in need

344
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 7: of not eliminated him from their list. And then you know,

345
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 7: you look at the Giants and Brian Dable. Yeah, he

346
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 7: runs a different scheme. He runs a combination of schemes.

347
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 7: But I'll say this about the Giants. I'm not saying

348
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 7: they're making the playoffs if they get the quarterback position right,

349
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 7: but they're really good at.

350
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: The receiver position.

351
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 7: I know they really like THEO Johnson was a fourth

352
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 7: rounder over the last couple of years out of Penn State,

353
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 7: who could run. They've addressed their offensive line. It's not great,

354
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 7: but they're they're left tackle. Andrew Thomas continues to get hurt.

355
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 7: They need to keep him on the field. If they

356
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 7: get competent quarterback play, you could certainly make the case

357
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 7: for them to be the eight or nine win team.

358
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 5: No more than that, but certainly a big jump.

359
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: All right, let me I need an answer on this one.

360
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: Is JJ McCarthy the quarterback of the Vikings or not?

361
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, are there?

362
00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: Let me explain this.

363
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: So, I mean you're going to bring in somebody else,

364
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. I mean when is this J. J.

365
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy era supposed to begin in Minnesota?

366
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 7: So Steve, what they've done here, Here's what's happened behind

367
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 7: the scenes. Here's the real story. So they talked to

368
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 7: Darnold's people, They let him know kind of where they're

369
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 7: at that they wanted to back, but they could not

370
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 7: commit to them totally past one season, so that that

371
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 7: that went south.

372
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 5: They have interested in Aaron Rodgers, but they want to

373
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: wait because JJ.

374
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 7: McCarthy again has not played football since Week one of

375
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 7: the regular the preseason last year, but it got hurt

376
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 7: against the Raiders.

377
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: So though they know where his rehab.

378
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 7: Is at, they want to hedge their bed a little

379
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 7: bit just for this season and that that that is

380
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 7: they're interested Rogers because they want someone in case McCarthy

381
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 7: is not ready. They want another answer. But no, McCarthy's

382
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 7: cleaner of their guy. There, there's no question about it.

383
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 7: And you know it's a shame behind the scenes. I'm

384
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 7: going to say the last two weeks before he suffered

385
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 7: the meniscus injury, he made a major jump like they

386
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 7: were really really happy with his mechanics, which, by the way,

387
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 7: we're not good at Michigan. You got to give you

388
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 7: got to give their coaching staff credit. Obviously the head

389
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 7: coach coach coaches the quarterbacks and calls the plays Kevin O'Connell.

390
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 7: But the bottom line is, no, they have their guy,

391
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 7: There's no question about that, Steve. But they don't they can't.

392
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 7: They're not going to know about where he's at totally

393
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 7: until he gets on the field. Hence the hedge betting

394
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 7: with Aaron Rodgers and at least initially having interest in

395
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 7: bringing Darnold back.

396
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: So Adam, you know, waiting for the dominoes to fall

397
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: right with Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, I'm really

398
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: curious to get your thoughts on Kirk Cousins and what's

399
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: going on in Atlanta right Look, I mean, are you

400
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 2: are you really going to pay that much money to

401
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: a guy who's going to be like riding the pine

402
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: and holding a clipboard? Like what happens? How does that

403
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: all play out?

404
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 7: I always tell people when the situations, look at this,

405
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 7: when a team seems to be bluff, let's see where

406
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 7: he's at in September. Because the smart thing to do

407
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 7: is what we've seen with other teams. The need over

408
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 7: the years is wait to see if a quarterback gets hurt.

409
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 7: Like not that they're a little bit similar. The contract

410
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 7: situation is different. When the Vikings lost Teddy Bridgewater, the

411
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 7: Eagles at tremendous leverage with Sam Bradford. Okay, they they

412
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 7: got what they wanted. They wanted a first round pick.

413
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 7: They told Rix Bilman what it's going to take. Then

414
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 7: she haderal manager of the Vikings, and the Vikings knew

415
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 7: that they could be really good with good quarterback play,

416
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 7: and Bradford did play well, but it was hugging up

417
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 7: right against the season. Eagles had leverage, So it would

418
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 7: be smart for the Falcons and Terry Fana, their general manager.

419
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 7: They owe him thirty seven million dollars no matter what happens. Okay,

420
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 7: they're not cutting him. They're going to keep him on

421
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 7: the roster till they till someone really shows that they

422
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 7: want him. This idea that they won't trade him is

423
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 7: complete nonsense. Of course they trade him. There's no urgency

424
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 7: in March. Now, here's the one thing with Kirk Cousins.

425
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 7: He did not look right last season. I understanding of

426
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 7: that game over five hundred yards against the Bucks coming

427
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 7: off that achilles, he just didn't look right.

428
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 5: Two people told me he would know. So I'm not.

429
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 7: Another one a guy thirty seven years old. Where's heft physically?

430
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 7: This is the state of the quarterback position. All these

431
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 7: older quarterbacks, they're going to have value becauses at some

432
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 7: point down the line, we'll have value to a team

433
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 7: that really is dying for a quarterback closer the season.

434
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: All right, final question, because I asked this as a

435
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: final question last week, do you believe by this time

436
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: next week, Aaron Rodgers will have a new home. No,

437
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: because last week you thought yes, now you're saying no.

438
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 7: Well no, No, he visited, he had the finally had

439
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 7: the meeting, which I was told was going to happen.

440
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 7: But what we've heard is that they that he's going

441
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 7: to be a little bit more patient next time this

442
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 7: time around. See, what I find fascinating is that he

443
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 7: needs more time. What could he need more time for?

444
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 7: Exactly whether he's into it or not. And I like

445
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 7: what Cam Hayward said, Steve like, if you want to

446
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 7: be here, make a decision than you look.

447
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 5: If you're not all in, then you're not only we

448
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 5: don't want you. I I get it. I get it.

449
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 7: I talked to the Jets numerous times about him last season,

450
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 7: and that's a that's another story.

451
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 5: By the way, one of these days.

452
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 7: We'll have to do a segment justph rodgers situation with

453
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 7: the Jets last season.

454
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 5: Yes, it's very complicated, but very interesting.

455
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Adam, as always tremendous stuff. We'll check

456
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: in with you again next week.

457
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 7: All right, guys, hopefully we have more on Aaron Rodgers escapades.

458
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 7: Maybe some other team will jump in and I'm just kidding.

459
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, alright, don't get a centro on that one.

460
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: Adam Kaplin joining us, everybody right there? Yeah, I need.

461
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring that up a little bit later on

462
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: in the show about the whole Aaron Rodgers situation. But

463
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: first let's find out what is trending. I know, I'm

464
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: crowing about my sixteen and oh but but but that's

465
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: nothing compared to Martin taking.

466
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,840

00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: They're like, finally, Anita, You're you're talking to the guy.

468
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: But Martin's the guy because he did what nobody did.

469
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: He had Arkansas coach cal getting the Razorbacks into the

470
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen. I mean, is this such so shocking?

471
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 5: Yes?

472
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Is that I think Arkansas did not look great. There's

473
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: a reason why they had.

474
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 2: Kansas advancing over Arkansas.

475
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

476
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 8: Really, it was more of a bet against Hunter Dickinson

477
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 8: because he started at Michigan. I'm gonnaed I'm in Michigan, alum,

478
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 8: and I watched Hunter Dickins's first few.

479

00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: He became an All American in Kansas.

481

00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 8: but in these big I know you lean. Like on

525
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 8: the gambling side of things, I know your big better

526
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 8: when you see these sixty nine point margin of victory

527
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 8: or was it seventy forty nine point margin of victory

528
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 8: and these two seed fifteen matchups on the women's side

529
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 8: of things, is their value embedting those big favorites, because

530
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 8: it's like, who's hanging a line of sixty nine or

531
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 8: forty nine or.

532
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, not me.

533
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 8: Just I was just curious if if you knew if

534
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 8: I just I mean, I just feel like you gotta be.

535
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, like when when a line gets the

536
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: double digits, let alone minus twelve minus thirteen, I'm like, nope.

537
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't fathom I walk I walk away. So

538
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: I just can't even fathom.

539
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 3: See you.

540
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: In college football, I mean, we see huge spreads, you know,

541
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, because the problem with those spreads

542
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: are you'll get a team blowing out somebody and then

543
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: it's the back door cover because they exactly they let

544
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: up and then all of a sudden, you know what

545
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: looked like money in the bank at halftime and you

546
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: walk away a loser. That's yep, that's you play.

547
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: You play that prevent defense. You're sitting your your big

548
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: time starters in the fourth quarter, and and then you

549
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: got to worry about that back door cover. I just like,

550
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: there's just not enough hours in the day for me

551
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: to lose sleep for that.

552
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,879

00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: Let not state how many years.

573
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I see, I can.

574
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: There's no way. By the way, the reason I feel

575
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: like it's interesting our early connection on the show. So

576
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: you're in Jersey, right, I.

577
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: Mean, I live in Hoboken, New Jersey, and I know

578
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: it's it's not it is not as sexy as it

579
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: it's really sexy to live here. It doesn't sound like

580
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: it's sexy to live here so much. It is a

581
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: very sexy place to live here.

582
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: So my original loose Cannon partner was the legendary Chet

583
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: forty of Monday Night Football fame. Jet and I we

584
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: were the original loose Cannons together back in the early nineties.

585
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: And he's from Hack and Sack, oh geez, which I

586
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: know is literally right down the road from you and Hoboken.

587
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: It's about it's about, yes, it's it's probably about thirty

588
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: five forty minutes from me.

589
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: So there you go.

590
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: Some good some good golf, some nice golf.

591
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm used to the jersey and sack. Yeah, very much.

592
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: So well, I wanted to get your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers.

593
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, again the idea that because we

594
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: heard the Steelers are already talking to Jalen Millroe, you know,

595
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: are they going to draft mill Roe as a quarterback

596
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: of the future. They had a quarterback of the future.

597
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: Of course he's not. Of course he's not. But I

598
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: mean maybe it was their way of saying, look, if

599
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: you're not gonna make up your mind, we may go

600
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: in a different direction. But is Aaron Rodgers, in your opinion,

601
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: still worth the weight?

602
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: I don't believe so. I just you know, we're it's

603
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: a sad state of affairs, is Adam pointed out right?

604
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got the Giants, the Steelers, you know,

605
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: the Vikings. They want to run, they want to move

606
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: forward with JJ McCarthy. Listen, I'm I love what JJ

607
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: McCarthy did at Michigan. Okay, big shout out to to

608
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: Blue Okay, But you know, how does that equate to

609
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: the NFL? I don't know, right, Like, he never really

610
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: had to put a team on his shoulder pads and

611
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: win a game. You know, they had a solid defense.

612
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, Harball is committed to running the football, so

613
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: there's a big question mark there, you know, I just

614
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: I really, I just think that there's you know, Cleveland, Pittsburgh,

615
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: the Giants, the Viking. Like, I just think it's a

616
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: sad state of affairs across the board with a number

617
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: of teams that are at this point in the game,

618
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: we're just a week, right, or week away from April

619
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: where teams like to get What happens is teams like

620
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: to go out and they like to to make sure

621
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: that they check the box on all their positions so

622
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: that they don't go into the draft needy, right, Steve,

623
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: That's what they do, exact right, They don't want to

624
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: go in because when you go into a war room

625
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: of an NFL team, you have a few different boards.

626
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: There's one board that they list all the players and

627
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: they ranked them regardless of want, need, desire, or position.

628
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: And then they have another board that they rank players

629
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: based on their needs and and then of course, well

630
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: I guess then two boards, right, more than three, less

631
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: than three. So you you want you want to be

632
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: able to draft off your board with the best player

633
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: available as opposed to all right, well, we're really in

634
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: need this position. So you know, you and and the quarterbacks,

635
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: with all due respect to cam Ward and shar Sanders

636
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: and Milrow and you.

637
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Know, don't forget Jackson Dart.

638
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: Jackson Dark coming out of Ole Miss, with all due

639
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: respect to I don't not one of these guys, by

640
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: the way, is worthy of being drafted in the first round,

641
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: does it? Like three of them, four of them more

642
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: than likely will be okay, But like talent wise, not

643
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: one of them are ready for the NFL.

644
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And here's the thing, and everything you're saying is

645
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: on the mark, you know, Like you say, all thirty

646
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: two teams they have their draft boards. I'd love to

647
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: see draft boards after the draft, like because a lot

648
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: of times like you really had him there when another

649
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: team met, you know. But here, here's how you really

650
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: complicate a mess, Like you say, if you don't address

651
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: a certain need before the draft, a deed you have,

652
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you panic and now

653
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: you trade up chasing a need in the draft. Where again,

654
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: it's always who you draft, it's where you draft draft.

655
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: And so if you're forced to in a panic situation,

656
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: like we get this guy and we're still not sure

657
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: if he is the guy, but we we really can't

658
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: take that chance. And all of a sudden, you're giving

659
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: away future draft capital or draft capital in that draft

660
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: to move up a spot or two to get a

661
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: guy that had you addressed the situation prior to the draft,

662
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have put yourself in that situation.

663
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: And that's when you really get yourself in trouble, you know.

664
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: But just going back to your original question regard to like,

665
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: is Aaron Rodgers worth all of it? I'm here again.

666
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: I live in Hoboken, New Jersey. I cover the Giants,

667
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: I cover the Jets more more than the average bear.

668
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: And no, he's not. He's just like, like, there's always something,

669
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: there's always something outside of the x's and o's off

670
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: the field, he's you know, he's he's that chick you eight,

671
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: who's really hot. But like, is high maintenance? Hre Steve,

672
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: he's high maintenance.

673
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, think about this. You have a self

674
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: serving documentary called Enigma, and the point was, I watched

675
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: this thing and I'm like, you are anything but an

676
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: enigma in your mind. You're an enigma. You're an easy read,

677
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: a very easy read, completely self absorbed. You know, sort

678
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: of like me with my sixteen and Z in the

679
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: first round. Uh, but I understand. I mean, this is,

680
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: this is the whole thing. Try to label yourself some

681
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of enigma, like I'm an outside of the box guy. No,

682
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: you're not. You're the furthest thing from that. You're as

683
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: transparent as it gets a self serving player in a

684
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: team sport period exclamation point. And you don't have the

685
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: skill set you had even three or four years ago.

686
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: So no, I'm with you one hundred percent. I am

687
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: not going to basically put my organization in the pause

688
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 1: button by bringing in Aaron Rodgers for a year.

689
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: Makes no sense, so real quick, because I know we're

690
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: up against it. I always this is. This is the

691
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: visualization that I typically give my listeners, and that is

692
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: think of the scales of justice, right, And my grandmother

693
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: had one, and I found it to be fascinating when

694
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 2: I was a child, and I wish I had one.

695
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 2: Now maybe I need to go to an antique score

696
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: antique store to buy one. But think of the scales

697
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: of justice, right, and on one side, you've got Aaron

698
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: Rodgers with all the weight of all the the the minutia,

699
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: right that he brings off the football field, and on

700
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 2: the opposite side, put what he brings to the table

701
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: now this day and age in regard to his quarterback

702
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: skill and ability and what outweighs the other. To me,

703
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's it's all the bs right that

704
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: takes place off the football field, as opposed to what

705
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: he's going to provide for you as a starting quarterback

706
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 2: in the NFL. It wasn't that way three four five

707
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 2: years ago, right, three four five years ago, Steve, we'd

708
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: be sitting here saying, what are you kidding? Yeah, you

709
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: gotta sign Aaron Rodgers, who cares. Let him do whatever

710
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: he wants to do. Let him do the Pat Patton

711
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: McAfee show five days a week. It doesn't matter. Like

712
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: he's amazing, Well we're that's not the case anymore. And

713
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: that how That's how it is with a number of players,

714
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: and a lot of times I think they have this

715
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: false view of themselves, and I think Aaron Rodgers still

716
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: has that where like, oh, well, I'm still gonna do

717
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: the Pat McAfee show, and I'm gonna continue to you know,

718
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: crawl in this hole, uh in in darkness and not

719
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 2: attend OTAs for so many weeks. Well, no, because you're

720
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 2: your your play in in in what you're you're presenting

721
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: or what you're you're you're bringing to the equation isn't

722
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: what it used to be. So no, we're not gonna

723
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: accept all this other stuff on the opposite side of

724
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: the scales of justice.

725
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I got news for these gms around the league.

726
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's cut from the same cloth. Stay away from

727
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: these two guys. Let them go into retirement, do something

728
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: else with their lives. Do not trip over yourselves to

729
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: sign either Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. All right, On

730
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: the other side, the state of the women's basketball game

731
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: minus Caitlin Clark at the collegiate level, is it in

732
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: good shape? Is it gonna fall back or is it

733
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna move forward? We're gonna break it down. This is

734
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Saturday.

735
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 9: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

736
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: Steve Harbin, Anita Marks here Fox Sports Saturday. We're coming

737
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: live from the tire Raq dot Com studios. So, last

738
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: time I at the UCLA Women's NC Tournament game on

739
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: their home court at poly Pavilion, and their longtime coach

740
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: Corey Close said After the game, she was asked about

741
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: the crowd at the game, Anita, and she's like, well,

742
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that we have the even a bigger crowd

743
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday. They'll play Richmond tomorrow. You could

744
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: almost sense a little bit of disappointment. I mean, UCLA

745
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: is the number one ranked team in the country. Across

746
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: town at usc they are a number one seed and

747
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: also playing at home. LA's a different type of market

748
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to sports like this, But I guess

749
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: one way to gauge the strength of women's basketball. Remember

750
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: last year, the women's championship game between South Carolina and

751
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: Iowa with Caitlin Clark had way more viewers than the

752
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: men's championship game between Yukon and Purdue. But Anita, just

753
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: from a gambling standpoint, how much buzz? How much interest

754
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: have you felt this year in women's collegiate basketball minus

755
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark?

756
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, not much. And listen, you hit the nail on

757
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 2: the head right nineteen million viewers. But and not to

758
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 2: take anything away from Caitlin Clark, amazing and obviously changed

759
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: the landscape not just of college women's college basketball but

760
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: the w NBA this season really excited to see what

761
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: this next season brings with her and these women. But

762
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: also it was the rivalry right between her and Angel

763
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: Reese right kind of reminded me. And again, I know

764
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: we're talking age here, which okay, whatever of you know,

765
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: Magic and Larry Bird. Sure a little bit right, like

766
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 2: didn't you feel that a little bit like wait.

767
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: It's oh, you need a foid. Look at Angel Reese

768
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: was brilliant. You know, obviously she's a very talented basketball

769
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: player in her own right, but sort of attaching herself

770
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: to Caitlin Clark is genius. And look at the opportunities

771
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: she has had in promoting herself and commercials and everything

772
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: else because of that connection. Look, rivalries are the root

773
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: of all sports the way I look at it. You know, Anita,

774
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: when when you think back to Magic Bird and I

775
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: watched that championship game between Indiana State and Michigan State,

776
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: and then you know, for them to end up with

777
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers and Celtics, it was like it was all scripted.

778
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: It couldn't have been It couldn't have worked out more

779
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: perfect for the NBA. But you're right, I mean that's

780
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: what we need now. Something can could develop in this tournament.

781
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: You know two years ago, that's exactly what happened. They

782
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: developed between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese and then had

783
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: the carryover Effectsancy we're both back the next year. I'm rooty.

784
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: I have followed collegiate sports being a UCLA guy, because

785
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: UCLA women won a national championship. Wasn't the NCAA, it

786
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: was the aie W back in nineteen seventy eight, with

787
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: my dear friend Annie Myers leading the way. So I

788
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, I've rooted for them to make progress, and

789
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: I just I just hold my breath to see how

790
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: much progress has been made now that Caitlin Clark is

791
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 1: no longer in the mix.

792
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know we're up against it. I do have

793
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: an interesting story for you. Just how significant Caitlin clar

794
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: Clark was her championship year.

795
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 3: All Right, we'll hold it holding on the other side. Okay,

Speaker 3: oh yeah, okay, because I don't I don't you.

797
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: It's an interesting story, puts things in perspective.

798
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll get that story on the other side. Plus,

799

815
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: I had earlier today. Just yi, yeah, I mean listen,

816
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: Michigan turnover prome two hundred I'm sorry, three hundred and

817
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: twenty ninth in the country in turnover percentage, and A

818
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: and M just great with ball pressure defense, also top

819
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: offensive rebounding team in the country, and so they could

820
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: counter Michigan's bigs. So I did have Texas A and M.

821
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: I laid the two and a half today just step.

822
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Wayioll well, very good. Well, I'm glad we're going to

823
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: get to all this. But before we do all that, well,

824
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: we got to hear this Caitlyn Clark story. You're gonna

825
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: share with us, Anita, Yeah.

826
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: So very interesting. Right, So Caitlin Clark when she went

827
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: up against South Carolina for the championship, right last year?

828
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: Was it last year?

829
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: Ye?

830
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: Last year?

831
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, last year. So planned this like huge watch

832
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: party in the city. So went into New York City,

833
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: went to a local you know what I called a

834
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: watering hole, right, sports bar in New York City. There

835
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know ten fifteen of us watched

836
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: the game. There ate a ton of food, think a

837
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: lot of adult beverage. Game was over. Uber price surge.

838
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: Uber price surge after the game was over. So for

839
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: me to get an Uber home from New York City

840
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: was ninety five dollars. For me to get an Uber

841
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: home from New York City after the Iowa South Carolina

842
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 2: came was ninety five dollars. So Uber And again I'm

843
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: just I'm sharing this story, just marinating this for a second,

844
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: the significance of so many people in New York City

845
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: were out watching the women's game that when as soon

846
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: as the game was over and everyone needed to get home,

847
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: Uber had a price surge, so people were paying like

848
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: insane amounts of money just to get home stack.

849
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: All right, So, Nina, I'm curious because you're an athlete

850
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: and we've had a lot of I remember when Candice

851
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: Parker came out of Tennessee and I'm thinking to myself,

852
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: look if if this woman can't really put the star

853
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: on the WNBA, who can. I mean, she had the game,

854
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: she had the looks. I mean, she had everything. She

855
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: has everything didn't move the needle. And I'm always curious,

856
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: because there's no exact science to this why certain athletes

857
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: move the needle when others don't. We all remember the

858
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: brief insanity with the New York Knicks. In fact, I

859
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: was in New York. I think I was covering Stanley

860
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: Cup final. I talked to my son, I go, look,

861
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm in the NBA store here in Manhattan. You want

862
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: to do? You wanna mellow Jersey or a insanity Jersey

863
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: goes dead? Insanity's over, get me Melow. But I'm just

864
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: curious from your standpoint because obviously we've been talking about

865
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark for a couple of years now, and there

866
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be any slow down, and people wanting

867
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: to see her play.

868
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 3: I don't know how long that's gonna last, but it's

869
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: still going.

870
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: Ultimately, you've had enough time to sort of analyze the

871
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: situation Nita. Why her?

872
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: I think she's she's somebody who can do it all, right,

873
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: Like she's a difference maker. And not to take anything

874
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: away from Candice or any other you know, great college

875
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: players and great NBA players, but you know, she checks

876
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: all the boxes in my opinion, right, like can shoot

877
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: from downtown, you know, insane in regard to assists. Just

878
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 2: not only is she phenomenal, but she makes everybody else

879
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: around her phenomenal. So fun to watch, uh, infectious. Gotta

880
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 2: love her personality, Gotta love the the way she plays,

881
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: Gotta love the way that she carries herself. There's just

882
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: so many things about her that you can relate to

883
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 2: and want to aspire to be. And so you know,

884
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: and and and also let's go one step furtherest to you.

885
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: The fact that like she didn't go to Yukon, right, right,

886
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: she didn't go to she didn't go to South Carolina,

887
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: she didn't go to Notre Dame. She went to a

888
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: you know, a hometown team that was good, never really great.

889
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: And and made them great. You know that's my and

890
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: I know it's a whole nother story, but like that's

891
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: one of my biggest knocks on Lebron, Like always chasing,

892
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: you know, the team that's going to build the best

893
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: talent around him, right, going to Miami to b with

894
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: Dwayne Wade, going to Cleveland to be with Kyrie Irving,

895
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 2: going going going right, like she was like, I'm my

896
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: own I'm my own temple, and and I'm what stirs

897
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: the drink, and i am wherever I am, no matter

898
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: what is around me. I'm going to make that team great.

899
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: And I think there's very few athletes out there who

900
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 2: can do that.

901
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: Well, She's got whatever it is. I mean it, it

902
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: has very right right, she has it it. I mean

903
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: the factor that a Tiger had, that a Jordan have.

904
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: There's very very few athletes where you actually have evidence

905
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: that they literally move the needle dramatically when they are participating.

906
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: So again, we'll see how this all plays out this

907
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: year's tournament. Look, Juju Wakins, I get to see her

908
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: obviously here in LA A phenomenal player. You know you've

909
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: got you know, the unanimous All Americans this year. Paige

910
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: Becker's obviously coming back from that devastating injury, and all

911
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden she's back and play that at that

912
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: high level at Yukon.

913
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: By the way, Gino Rim, you know, you know the

914
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: thing about Geno.

915
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: Rim is here you have a man in a sport

916
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: where predominantly women are coaches, and he has put up

917
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: a record unlike any coach that we've ever seen in

918
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: NCAA basketball history, men or women, and I include my

919
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: beloved John Wooden in that. Look at RIM's record, it

920
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: is absolutely insane. If they were to win another championship

921
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: this year, would just take it to the next level.

922
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: What are you, an area An rim A fan.

923
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting, I've I've asked a number of

924
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: you know, professional w NBA players who played at Tennessee,

925
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: played at Yukon, played at the big schools. I think

926
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: there's something about Gino sitting in your living room asking

927
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: you to come play at Yukon. There is there is

928
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 2: a gravity to that that I think it's really hard

929
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 2: to say no to, you know, and and and not

930
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: to take any thing away from him in regard to

931
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: being one of the best women's college coaches in the

932
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 2: history of the sport unbelievable, but also I think just

933
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 2: the the success that the program has had.

934
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: But does being a man make a difference for him

935
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: in the women's basketball world, because when you talk about

936
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: the other winning his coaches in you know, collegiate women's

937
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: basketball history, most of them are women. Does he have

938
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: an advantage? I don't know. I mean, you just talked

939
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 1: about his presence in a living room. I'm just curious

940
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: about that.

941
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 4: I don't.

942
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: I don't And again, this is what is this is

943
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: what has been shared with me, is that you know

944
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 2: he there are certain people out there, like I've been

945
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 2: in certain rooms with like pat Riley for example. Sure, right,

946
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: Like like pat Riley is one of those guys, Like

947
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 2: he walks in a room. Your back might be to

948
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 2: the door, but when pat Riley walks into a room,

949
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: you know he's walked into a room. Oh yeah, right,

950
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 2: he's got this or he's got this vibe, he's got

951
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: this energy. I've heard this and I've never met Gino,

952
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: but I've heard the same with Gino. And so he's

953
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: in your living room. He's asking you to come to

954
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 2: Yukon with the most successful women's college basketball teams in

955
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: the history of the sport, and you know, you go there,

956
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna be riding the pine probably for the first

957
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 2: two years of your collegiate career. But when it's time

958
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 2: for you to start, not only are you gonna start,

959
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna be on national television more probably than any

960
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 2: other collegiate female athlete. And on top of that, chances

961
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 2: are you're gonna be competing for the national championship. So

962
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 2: I think all that combined, I think it's hard to say.

963
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 4: No to him.

964
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing record that he has, and he's had

965
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: his best opportunity this year. Maybe, I mean they won

966
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: today by sixty nine, and come on, I mean, it's

967
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: just absolutely I think it would, you know, one of

968
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: those one sixteen matchups. So you're really trying to tell

969
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: everybody you made us a two seed? Really, really, you

Speaker 3: Although, well, Aaron and I at least for one day,

1008
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: I look pretty good out there at my brackets.

1009
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 4: Oh so the segment is about your bracket?

1010
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 9: Okay, So no, I just want to know.

1011
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 1: Anina has been asking me throughout the show, how many

1012
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: times are you going to bring that up?

1013
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to bring it up at least one

1014
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 3: more time with Aaron.

1015
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, now, how later are.

1016
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 4: You guys on to five? Yes, we got Anita give

1017
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 4: me an over under. I think it's at least three

1018
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 4: and a half. You got about forty one minute I started.

1019
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 2: I started the show with a five and I said

1020
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 2: over and we've surpassed that about you know, twenty minutes ago.

1021
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1022
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 4: Thanks, it was like fouls in the Arkansas Saint John's game.

1023
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 4: You hit it over before the first time out.

1024
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: I know it's okay, But you know, Anita brought up

1025
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: the point Aaron, that we haven't seen a lot of

1026
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: upsets early on in this tournament. Are you surprised by that?

1027
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 4: I'm not, you know, Steve, you know me, I'm not

1028
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 4: a super like advanced analytics guy. But you know, the

1029
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 4: analytical people will tell you that there's some metrics that

1030
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 4: that seem to indicate that the top of this sport,

1031
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 4: the teams specifically, are actually probably better than they were five, six,

1032
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 4: seven years ago. And I think it's a direct reflection

1033
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,439
Speaker 4: of transfer portal in the NIL and really going hand

1034
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 4: in hand, because you know, even if you want to

1035
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 4: if you're starting at a small school, even if you

1036
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 4: want to stay there, at some point the money gets

1037
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 4: so good that you have no choice but to transfer up.

1038
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 4: I mean, why are there no mid major? You know,

1039
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 4: Darlings Well, I don't know. It's because I own as

1040
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: best player two years ago. Walter Clayton is now the

1041
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 4: best player at Florida. Uh Morehead State had this center

1042
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 4: that they plucked out of obscurity in Florida is named

1043
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 4: and I Brook. He has two great years at Morehead

1044
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 4: State and now he's at Auburn, And so you know, listen,

1045
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 4: I don't think this means that we'll never see a

1046
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 4: two seed or a three seed lose in the first round.

1047
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 4: But I just think that the top of this sport,

1048
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 4: you're just able to reload rosters so much differently now

1049
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 4: than you were even two three years ago that I'm

1050
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 4: not totally surprised that we saw you know, opening weekend

1051
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 4: or and opening two days where I believe it was

1052
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 4: the first time ever no One, two, three, or four

1053
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 4: seeds off. Not really surprising again, just because again I

1054
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 4: feel like the talent has kind of risen to the

1055
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: top of the sport.

1056
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, those veteran players now that don't want to lead

1057
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 2: because the NIL deals and the ability for the transfer

1058
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: portal and to play right away, let's let's talk about

1059
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 2: the conferences, right and the fact that the ACC is like, oh, well,

1060
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 2: we're not going to buy into the nil deals. We're

1061
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 2: not going to you know, you know, and and the

1062
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 2: SEC did. Boy, the SEC has been so dominant. One

1063
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: would argue, right, one of the best conference performances maybe

1064
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 2: in the history of the NCAA tournament where the ACC

1065
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: what they've maybe one team still alive, if that's.

1066
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 4: Coming into today. There were more Patinos still in the

1067
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 4: tournament too than there were ACC teams won. So that

1068
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 4: kind of tells you, you know, how bad it's been

1069
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 4: for the ACC and you know the SEC. It's funny

1070
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 4: because you know, you've seen a lot of pushback about

1071
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 4: getting fourteen teams. And I was on Fox Sports Radio

1072
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 4: during the selection show, and you know, I thought Texas

1073
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 4: probably shouldn't have been in fifteen losses. It's just too many.

1074
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 4: But when you start going through these teams, it's like,

1075
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 4: you know, out of conference tess the matter and all

1076
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 4: these great all these teams weren't great out of conference.

1077
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 4: You know, Oklahoma, who was miserable in the SEC. They

1078
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 4: beat Arizona, they beat Louisville, they beat Michigan out of conference.

1079
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 4: I mean, those are three great out of conference wins.

1080
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 4: Are they not supposed to get credit for him? You know,

1081
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 4: Georgia beat beat Saint John's in the out of conference

1082
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 4: portion of the slate, and then the inverse of that.

1083
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 4: Part of the reason why North Carolina should not have

1084
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 4: been in they I think they were zero to four,

1085
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 4: oh to five against the SEC and that was before

1086
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 4: yesterday when they lost the Old miss And so, Anita,

1087
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 4: you're one hundred percent right. Is whether we like NIO

1088
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 4: or not, it's here. It's pay for play. We wish

1089
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 4: it was maybe something a little bit different than it is.

1090
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 4: But I think there's a couple of schools now that

1091
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 4: are playing catch up. I mean North Carolina was pretty public.

1092
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 4: They hired in the last week or last month or

1093
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 4: so a quote unquote GM and his job is to

1094
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 4: basically go out and raise funds because I think North

1095
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 4: Carolina thought, you know, hey, we can get We're Caroline up.

1096
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 4: Kids don't want to come here for the money. They

1097
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 4: want to come here for the front of the jersey

1098
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 4: and play with Jordan. No, kids don't care, especially when

1099
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 4: you now have potentially life changing money at the college level.

1100
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 4: So I think the ACC will catch up. I think

1101
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 4: some of these coaching hires that they've made, you know,

1102
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 4: Jay Lucas going to Miami. Of course, that's John Lucas's son,

1103
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 4: who is the lead assistant at Duke will Wade officially

1104
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 4: signing a contract today with NC State. I think the

1105
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 4: younger coaches are going to drag that conference into the

1106
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 4: new era because there's obviously been a lot of turnover.

1107
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 4: I think there was a lot of resistance from that

1108
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 4: old guard of Roy Williams and Tony Bennett or whatever. Well,

1109
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 4: these new guys are here. You know, they're spending money,

1110
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 4: and I just think this is the reality of college sports,

1111
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 4: whether we like it or not.

1112
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: One of the big stories all season long, obviously is

1113
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: what Rick Patino did at Saint John's. But they get

1114
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: upset today by his old adversary, John Caliperry. You know,

1115
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: coach call as well as anybody, Aaron, give us a

1116
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: little sense because Arkansas has flown under the radar thirteen

1117
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: losses ten seed obviously in a very competitive sec both

1118
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: what as he's walking off that court and I love

1119
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: how they were actually shaking hands before the game was

1120
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,439
Speaker 1: actually officially over. But knowing coach cal as, you do,

1121
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: how big was this win for him today to beat

1122
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: Patino and Saint John's.

1123
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 4: Well, those two don't like each other. I know you

1124
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 4: guys are probably on air during this game, but you know,

1125
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 4: the play by play and color commentator went through their

1126
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 4: two meetings with the two coaches yesterday, and the insinuation

1127
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,479
Speaker 4: was basically like, they don't like each other, they don't talk,

1128
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 4: they don't whatever. But I think what today, I don't

1129
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 4: think it's about the win over Patino necessarily. It's weird

1130
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 4: because it's not about the win over Patino, but the

1131
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 4: winover Patino is the thing that listen. You know, I

1132
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 4: don't care. I know a lot of people don't follow

1133
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 4: college basketball on a day to day basis, but the

1134
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 4: way John Calipari was treated on the way out by

1135
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 4: Sintuckie fans, the guy that bought them a national title,

1136
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 4: and most Kentucky fans are great, But then, you know,

1137
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 4: I think, on top of it, there were a lot

1138
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 4: of Kentucky fans and frankly a lot of people who

1139
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 4: cover Kentucky in the media that every time Arkansas would

1140
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 4: lose this season, it would be Kentucky fans in Kentucky

1141
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 4: media who made it a priority to let Arkansas fans

1142
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 4: know what a mistake they had made by hiring coach

1143
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 4: cal And so I found it weird. I think here're

1144
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 4: certainly when coach you don't have to root for Coach

1145
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 4: Callen when he's playing your team. He obviously blew the

1146
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 4: crap out of him, But to openly want to see

1147
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 4: this guy fail for some sort of vindication or some

1148
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 4: sort of confirmation bias I found weird. So listen, I

1149
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 4: think what he proved was what I would say is

1150
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 4: where he proved is the end of his relationship at

1151
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 4: Kentucky work the best for everybody. In defense of Kentucky,

1152
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 4: I think they have a very sharp young coach and

1153
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 4: Mark Pope, who obviously played in the NBA, played at Kentucky,

1154
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 4: and I think they're going to be great going forward.

1155
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 4: But I also think for John Caliperry, I think he

1156
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 4: needed that fresh start. I think no matter what he

1157
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 4: did at Kentucky, it wasn't going to be good enough,

1158
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 4: and there was a big percentage of the fan base

1159
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 4: that was never going to embrace him going forward as

1160
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 4: the head coach. And I'll tell you this, you know,

1161
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 4: get ready for tomorrow because if Kentucky were to lose

1162
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 4: to Illinois, and you guys might know the points, but

1163
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 4: I actually don't have it in front of me. If Kentucky,

1164
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 4: Kentucky were to lose to Illinois and coach Cal's in

1165
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 4: the second week is in Kentucky isn't. Yeah, I think

1166
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 4: there's going to be some people wondering if they made

1167
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 4: a mistake at that school, even though again, ultimately I

1168
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 4: don't think they did.

1169
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 2: Illinois is favored by one and a half.

1170
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: Just FYI, that's right?

1171
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.

1172
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 2: That tip off five fifteen pm Eastern time tomorrow, so

1173
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 2: erin I have all one seeds advancing to the final four.

1174
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 2: I know it's only happened once in the history of

1175
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: the tournament? Am I crazy? I feel like I'm not

1176
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 2: considering our conversation that we've had for the last seven minutes.

1177
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 4: You're not crazy. You know I didn't. I didn't do

1178
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 4: it because I knew i'd get lectured on social media

1179
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 4: by everybody smarter than me saying that you know, you

1180
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 4: know what kind of analyst they're expert or you or whatever.

1181
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 4: But listen, I think what's interesting is kind of the

1182
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 4: trajectory of the season for I think about eighty percent

1183
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 4: of it, we thought Alburn was by far the best team,

1184
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 4: Duke had always kind of had that win over Auburn

1185
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 4: kind of at the top of their resume. Then Duke

1186
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 4: is awesome, and then kind of the Koopa flag thing.

1187
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,479
Speaker 4: I think it just took some eyes off of Duke,

1188
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 4: and then of course Florida goes on the run at

1189
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 4: the SEC tournament, beats two top five teams, and now

1190
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 4: I think they were everybody's projected favorite going in. And oh,

1191
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 4: by the way, the team that I didn't mention is Houston,

1192
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 4: which has literally lost one game since Thanksgiving week, which

1193
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 4: I still think. By the way, it's not like they're playing,

1194
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 4: you know, no disrespect to the WCC or what Kazaggat

1195
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 4: used to do back in the day. Think twelve is

1196
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 4: a real league. Arizona's good BYU is good, Iowa State's good.

1197
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 4: Houston went nineteen and one and has lost one game

1198
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 4: since Thanksgiving week, and so I do think that group

1199
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 4: has separated themselves. Now I don't have the Auburn score

1200
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 4: in front of me, I know that game just started.

1201
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 4: I do think Auburn felt fell back to the pack

1202
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 4: a little bit, but they still obviously have a resume

1203
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 4: second to none coming into the tournament. So if anyone's

1204
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 4: giving you a hard time, Anita, you know you tell

1205
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 4: them where to stick it, because I think that I

1206
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 4: think you have one hundred percent validity. I've seen a

1207
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 4: lot of people actually go with the four number one teas,

1208
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 4: and I think they were very clearly the four best

1209
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 4: teams all season long. They obviously have four great resumes,

1210
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 4: and so you know, like I said, I didn't do

1211
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 4: it because I'd get lectured too much and yelled at.

1212
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 4: But I think there's a lot of smart people that

1213
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 4: feel the exact same way you do.

1214
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 5: Well.

1215
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: By the way, Auburn leading Creighton only nineteen to fifteen

1216
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: eleven minutes ago in the first half, there, Michigan fans

1217
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: are screaming keep airing on because as soon as you

1218
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: came on, the Wolverines won on a nine to zero

1219
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: run to take a five point lead, and m has

1220
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: cut it now seventy five to seventy two, Michigan now

1221
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: leading A and M inside five minutes to go in

1222
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,959
Speaker 1: that game. All right, Aeron, Well, I'm certainly not going

1223
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: to make any predictions about the future of my brackets

1224
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: because I've seen too many collapses over.

1225
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 3: The years in my brackets.

1226
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I just you know, for one day, it was it

1227
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: was it was fun, Aaron, it was fun.

1228
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 4: As the defending Fox Sports Radio Bracket champion, You'll be

1229
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 4: happy to know my bracket is in absolute shambles right now.

1230
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 4: So congratulations and yeah, oh, good luck to your Bruins tonight.

1231
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 4: I'll be on air during the.

1232
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 6: Bruins game tonight, so h so yeah.

1233
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: See that's a little hard for me. I never expect

1234
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: to do well with the brackets. I picked Tennessee to

1235
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: beat UCLA, but you know, I'm going to root for

1236
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: my Bruins. So you know, if Ucla destroys my brackets,

1237
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: I'll take it.

1238
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 3: I want the Bruins to win, obviously.

1239
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Can I say something really quick? I took Utah State

1240
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 4: in that game solely because I thought McK cronan was

1241
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 4: going to start whining about having to fly east again.

1242
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 4: Like if they had played in the West Regional and

1243
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 4: they had played in Seattle, I would have taken UCLA

1244
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 4: by a million. I really appreciate mc cronin deciding this

1245
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 4: is the one time all year, including the Big Ten

1246
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 4: Tournament a week ago, that he's not going to complain

1247
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 4: about travel and just focus on coaching. I mean what

1248
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 4: she had done that like three or four weeks ago,

1249
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,959
Speaker 4: you know, when the team was kind of couldn't win

1250
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 4: in the Eastern and Central time zones. But it was

1251
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 4: nice of them to just wait until the tournament's actually focused.

1252
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Don't be bad mouthing my guy. He's my guy, Mick Cronin.

1253
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 5: I love.

1254
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 4: I don't really need your badmouth. I mean, every time

1255
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 4: he kind of goes to the podium, he kind of

1256
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 4: makes it a little bit easy.

1257
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't really have to do most of the work, Aaron,

1258
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: enjoy the rest of the weekend. As always, we love

1259
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: your input here, especially the Wolverine fans because they're up

1260
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: by five right now. Well, let's go look forward to

1261
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: your show coming up, the Great Aeron Tours. Thanks so much, Aeron.

1262
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 4: All right, thank you both, have a great afternoon, and

1263
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 4: we'll talk soon.

1264
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 6: Thank you.

1265
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: All right, that's Aaron Torres. We'll get more into what

1266
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: Anita has to say about the games coming up, but first,

1267
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: but first, let's find out what is trending right now.

1268
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: And I was giving him the the desk there earlier

1269
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: for his Wolverines who were playing lousy basketball.

1270
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 5: And what did I do?

1271
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Give me an old calm down. I was like lifting

1272
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers, relax, relax, And now they're up by seven.

1273
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 8: You sure that Aeron Torres doesn't want to do the

1274
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 8: next four minutes of this, you know, because I'd like

1275
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 8: that to be the k seventy nine to seventy two,

1276
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 8: the score just under four minutes left.

1277
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Ooh, that was a nice move.

1278
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 8: Eighty one to seventy two to the score Michigan right

1279
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 8: now on a they were an eleven to two run.

1280
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 8: That's four on a sixteen to two run by Martin

1281
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 8: Wis's quick math might have been fifteen. I just think

1282
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 8: it saw a team up there. There you go, Michigan degree.

1283
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 8: I took football math though. Eighty one to seventy two.

1284
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 8: The score is three thirty seven left in the game.

1285
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 8: We also have two other matchups going on right now,

1286
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 8: thirteen thirty seven left in the second half between Texas

1287
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 8: Tech and Drake forty seven to forty the Red Raiders

1288
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 8: in the lead, and number one sheet Auburn in a

1289
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 8: matchup with Creighton nineteen to eighteen.

1290
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: Auburn in the lead.

1291
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 8: On the women's side of things, all Creighton's playing is

1292
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 8: we well then the nine seed they're too playing eight

1293
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 8: seed Illinois right now. Illinois with an eighteen to ten

1294
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 8: lead with three minutes and thirty five seconds left in

1295
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 8: the fourth quarter. Ninth Mississippi State has a fifty three

1296
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 8: to forty lead over Cow. Some results from the women's

1297
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 8: tournament earlier today, we saw Yukon beat Arkansas State one

1298
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 8: oh three to thirty four, and USC beat UNC Greensboro

1299
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,479
Speaker 8: seventy one to twenty five. Juju Watkins roller ankle didn't

1300
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 8: finish the game, but the injury not believed to be serious. Oklahoma,

1301
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 8: North Carolina State, Alabama, Iowa, West Virginia. They all advance

1302
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 8: to the second round of the women's tournament and met

1303
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 8: in the men's side of things. Per Due beat McNee

1304
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 8: States seventy six to sixty two, the Boilermakers advancing to

1305
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 8: the Sweet sixteen. They'll play the winner of ATEA Gonzaga

1306
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 8: and one seed. Houston produced six Sweet sixteen appearance in

1307
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 8: the last eight tournaments, and Arkansas beat Saint John seventy

1308
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 8: five to sixty six.

1309
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Arkansas advances to the sweet sixteen.

1310
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 8: John cut Party's sixteenth appearance in the Sweet sixteen, his

1311
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 8: first with Arkansas. You know what, Steve, that game will

1312
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 8: throw back for a lot of reasons, but you know

1313
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 8: what the number one was for me.

1314
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: Two guys wearing suits.

1315
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 8: Mashing the game on the sideline nice a relic in

1316
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 8: today's day and age one.

1317
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: We need to bring back back to you.

1318
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 3: Well, then you love McK cronin because he always really dresses.

1319
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 8: Now I do, and I honestly almost picked my bracket on.

1320
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 8: Does this coach wear a tie when he coaches?

1321
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1322
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: Well mc cronin's always sharp suits for UCLA. Great stuff

1323
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: is always Martin. Once again, we're coming to live from

1332
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: we get off the air. All right, So, Anita, A

1333
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of people have been saying enough already, enough Hartman, enough.

1334
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Can we hear what Anita has to say about these

1335
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: games later on? I mean, come on, we got BYU Wisconsin,

1336
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: we got Gonzaga Houston, we got your Bruins going up

1337
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. Let's start with these games right now. Any

1338
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: of these games you really like? Later on?

1339
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 2: I do like coming in. I did like Creighton, and

1340
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 2: they're only up by two right now, twenty five to

1341
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 2: twenty three, so you could probably still get in on them.

1342
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: I had some plus money. Listen, listen, they played SEC

1343
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 2: games very tough. Let's not forget they beat Saint John's.

1344
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 2: They want at yukon top forty and Kim Palm on

1345
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: offense and defense. They hold teams to forty points seventy

1346
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 2: points or less, and the best assist tournerver ratio in

1347
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 2: the Big East. So I do like Creighton. So if

1348
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 2: you like in game betting, that's a game that you

1349
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 2: can still get on. And then the two games later

1350
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 2: on tonight, Steve one is Houston going up against Gonzaga.

1351
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 2: I do like Houston. I'll lay the five and a half.

1352
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 2: This might be the worst Zags team, right that we've

1353
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 2: seen in quite a few years. And this is possibly

1354
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 2: maybe the best Cougars team we've seen in quite a while.

1355
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 4: Right.

1356
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 2: They're coming in with a fourteen game win streak. Their

1357
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 2: defense really can cause some problems for Gonzaga's guards. And

1358
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 2: this is really interesting stat and I'm always looking at matchups.

1359
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 2: So Gonzaga depends on inside scoring. Okay, fifty percent of

1360
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 2: their points is two point field goals and that's the

1361
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 2: nineteenth highest rate in college basketball. Houston, as we know,

1362
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 2: their defense is outstanding. They force teams to shoot three

1363
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:39,600
Speaker 2: pointers at a forty three percent rate because teams cannot

1364
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 2: They just do not have success with the two point shots,

1365
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 2: which is thirty eighth lowest rate in the country. Houston's

1366
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 2: defense creates for opposing teams, so this is just not

1367
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 2: a good matchup for Gonzaga. So I do like Houston,

1368
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay the points, and then later on tonight,

1369
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: I know they're your UCLA team. Yeah, I do like Tennessee. Here,

1370
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay the five and a half. This is

1371
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 2: gonna be a pro Tennessee crowd considering that they're playing

1372
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 2: in Lexington and Tennessee's defense is just unbelievable top five

1373
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 2: and Kim Palm allowing thirty eight percent shooting, third best

1374
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 2: in the nation, perimeter defense twenty eight percent from downtown.

1375
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: They first, They forced about twelve, if not more turnovers

1376
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 2: a game, only allowing opponents to score sixty three points

1377
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 2: per game, and that's against SEC teams. So that's uber impressive.

1378
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 2: And they arguably have the best player on the court.

1379
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,560
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with two favorites.

1380
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 2: I've really I've been all over the dogs here and

1381
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 2: I've lost my butt so far in this big dance.

1382
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 2: So I've got to go with the two favorites. And

1383
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 2: I like these two matchups again, Houston minus five and

1384
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: a half in Tennessee minus five and a half as well.

1385
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: Now u CLA, look, I have to admit, I mean

1386
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: they've been all over the map this year. I mean

1387
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: they've had some games, they had quality wins. They beat

1388
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Michigan State, they beat Gonzaga, they beat Arizona early in

1389
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: this season. Their last regular season game, they blow the

1390
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 1: doors off USC. Then they get blown out, embarrassed, McK

1391
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: cronin said, by Wisconsin, and then come back with a

1392
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: really dominant performance against Utah State. Utah State just couldn't

1393
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: make a shot, and so you know, all of a sudden,

1394
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: I got some of these bruined fans and they were like, oh,

1395
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: what bruins are back. I'm like, yeah, Well, if Tennessee

1396
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: shoots like Utah State did, they got a chance. And

1397
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: if U SLA can knock down free throws and knock

1398
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: down three point shots, but they just don't have that

1399
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: kind of arsenal. BYU has been a pick by many,

1400
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: including years truly to actually go a little bit deeper

1401
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: in this tournament. I have them moving on to the

1402
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen. How much faith do you have in BYU

1403
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: going up against Wisconsin, which is basically a pick them game.

1404
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't have faith in them at all because

1405
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 2: I had VCU Oh, I'd VC you coming out of

1406
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 2: that matchup BYU, so and I just I really like Wisconsin. Also,

1407
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 2: I look at teams that are playing really well and

1408
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 2: are really hot coming into the tournament. In Wisconsin is

1409
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 2: one of those teams. So I don't have a I

1410
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 2: don't have a quote unquote play on that matchup, but

1411
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:18,799
Speaker 2: I do have Wisconsin advancing.

1412
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna get out a little bit early

1413
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: because on the other side, Anita's gonna flip the page

1414
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: two tomorrow, Yes, eight more games to determine which teams

1415
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 1: end up in the Sweet sixteen. She will give you

1416
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: her best plays. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

Speaker 1: Big day coming up for him and he's going to

1428
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: get married soon. He's been Wow. This has been like

1429
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: an ongoing story. How many years have we worked together here,

1430
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: birsh what at least five sis something like this. We've

1431
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,719
Speaker 1: been talking about this forever. But he had his bachelor party,

1432
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: so I mean that that's usually a sign that it's soon.

1433
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 2: So so so what did it? What made you?

1434
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 4: Like?

1435
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 2: Was it just did you wake up one morning?

1436
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 9: Were you?

1437
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, this was a good question. I'm glad

1438
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: you had like.

1439
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: What like, what what was the moment that you said,

1440
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to do it?

1441
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 10: Ah geez? I think it was, uh, it kind of

1442
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 10: just more and more overtime. I felt like this I

1443
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 10: should probably get around. I love the way that sounds.

1444
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 10: By the way, of course I wanted to. It's just

1445
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 10: you know, I Notoriou said, rag my feet on everything.

1446
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 10: So yeah, well that's okay.

1447
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 1: You have a beautiful bride to be, so looking forward

1448
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: to that, all right, Anita. By the way, just one

1449
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: note on UCLA Tennessee coming up, as Michigan right now

1450
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: has a five point lead if Michigan does hold on

1451
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: to be Texas. A and M got a minute ago,

1452
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: so still plenty of time for the Aggies here. The

1453
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: Big ten is undefeated so far, and even though it's

1454
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: hard for me to actually say that UCLA is a

1455
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Big ten team, technically they are so the Big ten.

1456
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Anita undefeated so far, nine and zero, looking to go

1457
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 1: ten and oh with a Michigan win over A and M.

1458
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty pretty unbelievable. And you know, again coming in,

1459
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 2: you know, I favored a lot of SEC teams just

1460
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 2: because of the fact, you know, fourteen teams that got

1461
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 2: the invite to dance, pretty pretty remarkable.

1462
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: And six have been eliminated.

1463
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: It six have been eliminated. But you know, in in

1464
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 2: per our discussion when we opened up the show and

1465
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 2: then our discussion with Aaron, it's a new day. It's

1466
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 2: a new day. People with with with ni l's and

1467
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 2: transfer portals, which by the way, and just real quick,

1468
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 2: because I know we want to continue to talk college basketball,

1469
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 2: but you know, keep an eye on what's going on

1470
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 2: with U n C and in their football program with

1471
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, because Bill's there and he's he's he's now

1472
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 2: coaching a team in the a c C. And again,

1473
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 2: they have not bought in to the NIL situation, and

1474
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 2: so I think there's gonna be a lot of pressure

1475
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:45,759
Speaker 2: on him this season because you know, they they don't

1476
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 2: have a lot of money in that pot to play,

1477
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 2: to pay players to transfer and whatnot. So so much

1478
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 2: is writing on Bill and his coaching staff this year,

1479
01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:00,080
Speaker 2: and I'm really intrigued to see how well or how

1480
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 2: poorly UNC plays this year.

1481
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: All right, So as far as I agree with the

1482
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, by the way on that, and I

1483
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 1: don't think Bill's going to be there long just my prediction.

1484
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's just a note. I had a laugh

1485
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,719
Speaker 1: about this one. So Yukon won their first game. They've

1486
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 1: won thirteen consecutive NCAA Tournament games. They're like, well, that

1487
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: ties the record of Duke ninety one to ninety three

1488
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: in the post nineteen eighty five era, which means we're

1489
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:31,799
Speaker 1: just a racing history with John Wooden and UCLA thirteen

1490
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:37,520
Speaker 1: or row. UCLA with John Woodhen won thirty eight consecutive

1491
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament games. So I don't want to hear about this.

1492
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: They're tied a record, that's not a record. The record

1493
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: is thirty eight, not thirteen. What about that Yukon Florida game?

1494
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Florida. Here, I've got Florida going all

1495
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 2: the way and winning this whole damn thing. How can

1496
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 2: you not?

1497
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 1: Right?

1498
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 2: They check all the boxes, guard, play, front court, backcourt, defense,

1499
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,919
Speaker 2: top four in both offense and defense, and Ken Palm,

1500
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:12,600
Speaker 2: great coach, unbelievable players. I mean, if ever there was,

1501
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,839
Speaker 2: they might just be the only quote unquote complete team

1502
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 2: in this tournament.

1503
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: Steve nine and a half a big number.

1504
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 2: I'll lay it.

1505
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: You're laying the nine and a.

1506
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 3: Half, I'll lay it.

1507
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 2: Listen, twelve and two. They've covered their last fourteen games,

1508
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 2: Yukon four and six against the spread their last ten,

1509
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 2: and really, at the end of the day, they really

1510
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,839
Speaker 2: do have a shaky defense. And like I said, Florida

1511
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 2: just Florida checks all the boxes. So I'll lay the

1512
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 2: nine and a half.

1513
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: All right, What other games. Do you like tomorrow?

1514
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 2: I got one more for you in regards to what

1515
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to wager on, and that is Duke. It's

1516
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: another big number. It's eleven and a half going up

1517
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 2: against Baylor. But again, Duke top four offense, defense, They

1518
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 2: just you know, they love to smash people, right, Like

1519
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 2: what I love about Duke is like they will be

1520
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:03,799
Speaker 2: beating you and there's no foot off the gas flag

1521
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 2: of course is back, no concern there in regard to

1522
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 2: his ankle injury. And Baylor really at the end of

1523
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 2: the day the worst in the Big three, in the

1524
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 2: Big twelve in regard to three point shooting. So I

1525
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 2: just don't think that they're going to have the firepower

1526
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 2: to stay lock step with what Duke's gonna bring to

1527
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 2: the table. So again, double digits a big number. If

1528
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 2: you're scared, say you're scared. I'm not scared. I'll lay

1529
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 2: the eleven and a half with Duke. Those are my

1530
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 2: two plays heading into tomorrow.

1531
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:36,480
Speaker 1: Well, you know I'm moving forward. Aaron made points, Aaron Torres,

1532
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,799
Speaker 1: that you did as well talking about this transfer portal.

1533
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, all these mid majors that have done a

1534
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of damage in the tournament over the last decade

1535
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: or so, their star players are OPTI I mean, think

1536
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 1: back to when Steph Curry and Davidson made a run

1537
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: to the Elite eight his sophomore season. Can you imagine

1538
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: the transfer portal situation for Steph Curry coming out of

1539
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 1: that sophomore year. Davidson in those dates. Of course, obviously

1540
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: he's stayed for his junior year. I don't even know

1541
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: if they made the tournament the next year. But I mean,

1542
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: that is something that people really haven't been watching. But

1543
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: you brought it up. Aaron brought it up that the

1544
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 1: reason that we're not seeing as many upsets have we

1545
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: seen in recent years, at least this year. It could

1546
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: be an anomaly is the fact that a lot of

1547
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: these great players from these mid major schools are opting

1548
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: out and going to the bigger schools and chasing the money.

1549
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: I don't blame him.

1550
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 2: No, me neither. Interesting. Interesting with Steph Curry. This might

1551
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 2: this might shock some people, But Steph Curry, I know

1552
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 2: for a fact, I lived in Baltimore, Maryland, and it

1553
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 2: was very very close with the Towson University department. They

1554
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 2: had a they had an offer for a scholarship for

1555
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry that they took off the table in the

1556
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 2: eleventh hour because and a number of teams were not

1557
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 2: offering him deals because they thought he was too small

1558
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 2: and he was going to get beat up in the paint.

1559
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of

1560
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: people making a living scouting that probably should find another

1561
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: line of work.

1562
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm always amazed by that. You know, it's I quick story.

1563
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,919
Speaker 1: I remember when Ricky Williams came out of the University

1564
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,799
Speaker 1: of Texas right so here he is Heisman Trophy winners.

1565
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: You remember the Saints ended up giving up their entire

1566
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 1: draft to get Ricky Williams. Yeah, Dicka, that was.

1567
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 2: The old jes S I cover, Yeah in the wedding

1568
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:31,440
Speaker 2: dress exactly.

1569
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 1: So Ricky had roots in the San Diego area, came

1570
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: down for a workout. I was like, every team sent

1571
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 1: somebody like, why are you all here? You're not gonna

1572
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,719
Speaker 1: have a chance to draft him. They came down because

1573
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: they wanted to play golf in San Diego and the

1574
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: weather turned out to be horrific, And I heard him

1575
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,560
Speaker 1: bitch in a moaning and then they're holding their stopwatches.

1576
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: What'd you get? What'd you get?

1577
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, what do you mean, what'd you get?

1578
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: The guy just played four years at Texas, he's the

1579
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: all type leading rusher, didn't say history, and you're worried

1580
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: about what his forty time was. Come on, I mean,

1581
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: so some of these guys are just stealing money out there,

1582
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: all right?

1583
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 3: So okay, so your brackets are a mess, but that's okay.

Speaker 1: You can't but yours are.

1585
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,960
