00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,520

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: There's games all over. You don't have to think, you know,

79
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: maybe you have lunch or your breakfast because they started early,

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: turn it on his games everywhere.

81
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: I get to just enjoy it. And you and I

82
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 5: will we do for a living.

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, you got to know everything, especially obviously NFL, MLB, NBA.

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: You gotta know stuff, what's going on. Lamar Jackson has

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: to win this because he hasn't won a Super Bowl.

86
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: All these things that kind of come into it. And yes,

87
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: there will be a few storylines, and yes there's a

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: coach who hasn't won one or something like that. But

89
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: you get to just turn it on and enjoy it, man,

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: And that, for me is such a great.

91
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: Part of it.

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: And seeing that these kids, and you know, when basketball

93
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: you cover your in Detroit for twenty years, there are

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot of kids who are really, really, really good.

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: But because there's only five starters on the team, it's like,

96
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: all right, well, I guess I gotta take that guy.

97
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: And he might feel slighted, like, man, I'm I'm just

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: as good. Maybe I did have as few points less,

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: but in basketball, man, this is why you get these

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: close games and these upsets. Or you know, is that

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: all you need is a dog one you know, good player,

102
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other guys who know the role.

103
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: Maybe they're juniors and seniors, maybe they're older. We know

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: guys are playing who are twenty four to twenty five

105
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: to twenty six, and you can compete.

106
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: You know, football is different.

107
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, if you're Alabama, Miami Ohio ain't beating you.

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, you don't have a shot.

109
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: And in college basketball you got a shot because on

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: tonight we're making their shots.

111
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: You're not unfamiliar with these teams.

112
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: And again you might have a guy who is good

113
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: who got better as his college experience went on. And

114
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: so I liked that that anything's possible aspect of it

115
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: up for the first round or two.

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's the part I enjoyed it. That's where

117
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start. Anything is possible, and that's the whole

118
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: premise of the tournament. And that's why I was so

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: against Bruce Pearl when he was well, he said bashing

120
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: Miami over Ohio that they didn't deserve to be in

121
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: and that they weren't one of the best sixty eight

122
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: teams or whatever he wanted to say, because of their

123
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: schedule or whatever. And of course they went out and

124
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: beat SMU eighty nine to seventy nine and worked them

125
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 4: over like a burger and fries. And that's why people

126
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: attack Bruce Pearl.

127
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 5: We get it.

128
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 4: He was politicking for his son, who's the coach of Auburn.

129
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 4: But bigger than that, that's what this tournament is about.

130
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 4: It's about schools that have no business winning. So his

131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: whole premise made no sense. If it was about the

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 4: best of the best, it would be a sixteen team

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 4: tournament if you wouldn't have sixty eight teams. So its

134
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: whole idea and premise was off. Oh, look at the

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: data and where they rank it. That's not what it's

136
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: supposed to be about. It's supposed to be that you

137
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: can come in and on any given day, any given night,

138
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: you might play your best game ever and be a

139
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 4: team you have no business beating. If it was just

140
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 4: about the best of the best, this tournament wouldn't even

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 4: have the same feel.

142
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: It wouldn't be that important to people.

143
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: If it was just that, it would you know, you'd

144
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: have your tournament or whatever. But it's the whole idea

145
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: that the term Cinderella whose girls talking about, like, we

146
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: don't want these Cinderellas here at all. I disagree, especially

147
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: the first and secondar There you go, Rob, that's.

148
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: What it's supposed to be. We want to see.

149
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Now it's different too, because now you just have these

150
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, phenom freshman one offs, like there's the one

151
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: guy on the team, one guy over here, ones at

152
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: BYU and ones at Arkansas. One's you know, and so

153
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: it's different then back when you wanted to see those

154
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: duke teams of North Carolina, those Michigan, Michigan State, those UCLA,

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: so on and so for where you knew the guys

156
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: UNLV you knew the three four guys that have been

157
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: there for it.

158
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: So now it's just these one offs.

159
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: So it makes Cinderella even more interesting because you have

160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: a shot because these teams aren't fully loaded like they

161
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: used to be. But that's absolutely the point of it.

162
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: And you do your son no justice when you go

163
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: on these platforms and you're saying that when again there's

164
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: no real marries. It's not like your son your team

165
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: was that good. It's like, dude, for you to not

166
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: get in the tournament of sixty eight, your team ain't

167
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: that good. You feel what I'm saying, and you may

168
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: again some high point wins today, first NCAA tournament winning

169
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: school history, first went over a power conference team all time,

170
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: so on, and so they were on fifty seven before

171
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: it too.

172
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: That wars is about and and he made some case

173
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: that you had to be a blue blood in a

174
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: top school. And even as you mentioned, right, I mean,

175
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: the whole idea was nonsense. And that's why that's the

176
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: first thing I thought about today was about Miami of

177
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: Ohio that they got disrespected. Did thirty two and one

178
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: stop like they deserve the spot. They deserve to be

179
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: in this. I don't care what the schedule, I don't

180
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 4: care what the ranking, the computer says. You win that

181
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 4: many basketball games, you deserve it. And and for most people,

182
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: I think that, especially no mid major has ever won

183
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: the national championship. We get it, they've come close, So

184
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: we're not talking about that. We've seen the ratings when

185
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: we had three out of four cinderellas and guess what

186
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: nobody watched Like I get that, But the early rounds

187
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 4: of why you have that many teams is because of

188
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: these schools that aren't that maybe aren't as good or

189
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: don't measure up, but have a fighting chance. Your star

190
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: has a bad night, a ball bounces the other way.

191
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: That's what this is about. It ain't what we're not

192
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: here to see.

193
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,359
Speaker 4: If every game was, you know, the top seeds demolish

194
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: it eighty eight, yeah, like, then we could stop because

195
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: that's not basketball. Nobody is willing to watch that. Nobody

196
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: wants to watch a forty point blowout. If you want

197
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: to do that, you watch the NBA on a regular basis,

198
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: but you don't want that on this tournament.

199
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: And that's why you get Duke barely winning seventy one

200
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: to sixty five over Siena. Sienna was a sixteen seed,

201
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: though Duke obviously the one seed, and Duke kind of

202
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: go on a crazy run to get back in that

203
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: game and ultimately take it over. That's what you watch.

204
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: So to your point, they don't always have to be

205
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the upset. But everybody's sitting at home, or sitting at work,

206
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: or sneaking on their phone and at work, whatever they're doing,

207
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: to watch this game. They got to see a number

208
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: one seed with arguably a number one, two three pick

209
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: and boozer, and they got to see that was nerve wrecking, right,

210
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: They got to see a close game.

211
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: You got to enjoy.

212
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: It much better than the thunder one and Brooklyn nets

213
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: to the NBA and just so you know what I mean.

214
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: So so to me, this is why you watch. You

215
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: get games that are close, unexpected games. Obviously you get

216
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: some upsets, but that's what makes it fun. And again

217
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the idea that if his son at a bigger school

218
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: can't be one of the better sixty eight sixty seven

219
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: other teams, that's more of a problem or indicting on

220
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: him than me having a problem with Miami Ohio. You

221
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: get what I mean, Like, credit them. They've done what

222
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: they needed to be such a smaller school and done

223
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: their thing. You have all the resources and everything you

224
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: need at that bigger school, and your son we have

225
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: to complain and try to get them on it, you know,

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: in the tournament on air using your platform. So to that, yeah,

227
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't like that, but that's why I enjoy it. Man,

228
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: You don't know any of these kids might not even

229
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: remember them after the next couple of weeks.

230
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: Before night or two, they're balling right now.

231
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: It's early VCU leven seed is up fifteen fourteen on

232
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: North Carolina. You know who knows how the game end.

233
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: But my point is it's an entertaining game. They're competing

234
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: in forces North Carolina, the bigger seed, the more house,

235
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: old name to play.

236
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: And I'll make this last point again, Rob.

237
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: This ain't your eighty seventies, eighties nineties basketball where you

238
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: have four or five guys. You know, you had Boozer

239
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: and Jay Williams and dun Levy and Dante Jones and

240
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: all that at Duke where it's like, oh, how are

241
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: we gonna beat this team? They've been together so long.

242
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: There these teams, people transferring, people getting older guys, these

243
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: unknown schools, if you will, these smaller schools, they're gonna

244
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: compete because they're older, they've been in tournaments. They got

245
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: four or five years he's experienced sometimes even six depending

246
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: on COVID year and all that stuff. So there's gonna

247
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: be This ain't gonna be back in the day where

248
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: you had these monstrous Kansas teams, North Carolina teams, Duke

249
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: teams where it was hard to beat them. Some of

250
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: these guys man transferred from other schools and older guys.

251
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: You got a chance to really make some noise, all right.

252
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven

293
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: nine on Fox. What gets you going about the tournament?

294
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: Do you like the fact that it is one and done.

295
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: Is that the best way to determine the winner? Are

296
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: you in for? What are you looking at?

297
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 5: Yuh?

298
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: For?

299
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: Uh?

300
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: I think that's the only reason why people are interested

301
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 4: in the college basketball. It's the format. If this was

302
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: the best of three or something, you know what I mean.

303
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't do sixty eighteen, but if there was like

304
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: a best of three, I don't think it would ride

305
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 4: the same way. The one and done is what makes

306
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 4: it exciting. You just don't know what's gonna happen.

307
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 5: Completely agree.

308
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: I think it's just to the back to back to

309
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: back games going on. It's just the energy that it provides. Right,

310
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: You're just and it's just it's like a constant. It's

311
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: almost always there. It's not some people with baseball like

312
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: it's just you turn on. You can't always watch every

313
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000

00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 8: the I think.

349
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: You know what, Sean, I gotta admit this.

350
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: I just kinda stop you somehow, some way, I don't know.

351
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: We need to see what you look like okay, because

352
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: you're the one person where on everything I was thinking

353
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: exact same.

354
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 5: Because I can't.

355
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: I just I have no like feel for what I

356
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 4: think you look like. It's kind of like showing from

357
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 4: Sacramento when when I met him still stuck. Yeah, and

358
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: I just he didn't match his voice. So Sean, Sean

359
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: not how some way we need to see a picture

360

362
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 4: sending delies or tweet something.

363
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: You gotta do something.

364
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 8: Okay, He's gonna get the information.

365
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: Bro.

366
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 8: You know what I mean. I might be closer to

367
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 8: what you think I look like. You know what I mean.

368
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 8: You know family, grandfathers from the rural south. You know

369
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 8: mother cape Bird, you know what I mean, Cape Verdi,

370
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 8: And we have a lot of them here in New England.

371
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 8: So I'm from the great state of New Jersey. I

372
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 8: might look closer. Then it might not be a shong situation.

373
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 8: Will hit tournament to the tournament, Okay? I think the meritocracy,

374
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 8: what we love is seeing these powerful, great teams come

375
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 8: down off of Mount Olympus and get down on the

376
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 8: ground floor with the common folks, and we get to

377
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 8: see it in person. And that's what we saw in

378
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 8: the Duke Sienna game. Okay, Duke all powerful and Sienna

379
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 8: was not impressed, and they mag dogged them in the

380
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 8: first quarter and Duke was very Sienna had them up

381
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 8: against the wall, and Duke storm back in the second

382
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 8: half to win the game. But that's what makes the

383
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 8: tournament special. We all know in the best of three

384
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 8: five seven series, Duke would beat the breaks off of Sienna.

385
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 8: We know that, but we want to see it in

386
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 8: real time in a in a high leverage type of situation.

387
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 8: So the upsets, even though it's not great for the ratings,

388
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 8: I think that's the big appeal of the NCAA tournament,

389
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 8: no doubt.

390
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: Man, thank you roight. We don't want a bunch like

391
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: a gazillion upsets. You just you know, there's a couple

392
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: that you get sprinkled in there and then again, like

393
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: just like with Duke.

394
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 5: If it's a ton of them, then it's not enough.

395
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 5: Then it wouldn't be special, Like this should just be

396
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 5: a tournament exactly.

397
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: But it sposed to be a couple of them, like

398
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: one or two or then you go like wow, do

399
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: you believe that they beat That's that's the talking point,

400
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 4: that's the conversation that you want to have.

401
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 5: That's what makes it fun.

402
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: And then, like I said, even even just the close games,

403
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: Sianna Duke becomes you know that what makes it interesting. Right,

404
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: You're watching a close game, you're watching competitive game. It's

405
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: not to blow up even that alone. Again, it's also

406
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: what makes it so fun. So I thoroughly enjoyed. Man,

407
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: It's just one of those things. I love to get home,

408
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: I love to get to work and just have that

409
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: on the background. Again, you have to watch every single game,

410
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, at some point there's like four going and

411
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: there's on all of different networks. But to just have

412
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: something on get to watch gets enjoyed. I'm I'm I

413
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: like it' a fan of it. Now I need to

414
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: pull up my Fox Sports Radio dot Com tournament, my

415
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: bracket and see what I'm looking like right now, because

416
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: I do think I had Wisconsin moving on.

417
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 5: I gotta see what my bracket is looking like right now.

418
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: I know I'm getting beat down in that, but I'm

419
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: still probably the last time I really out, not the

420
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: last time, and one of the times I did that

421
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: one Kobe Bryant signed basketball was like a work one

422
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: like this and I won that. So, naggot, I'm hanging

423
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: onto that one big victory I got when you were nine.

424
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: You're still holding on that focused saying now I gotta

425
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: do the math. I'm not even Kobe would have been

426
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: to it now. Was this middle school Kobe?

427
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 5: Probably?

428
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying like, okay though maybe the now. See,

429
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: you almost tricked me. I see what you did? You

430
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: think you slick as little Jedi mind trick. You almost

431
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: wanted to put something on our brackets and see who

432
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: does better? You almost got what about our Pistons bracket?

433
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: Don't we have a Pistons begging? My man is having

434
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: a collapse lung right now?

435
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 5: That that had nothing to do with my bet. You

436
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: know what.

437
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 4: A couple of my friends who are big Pistons fans,

438
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: they said, should I send you the wings now?

439
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 5: Or should we wait? What was the bet for that day?

440
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: Would they were going to the Eastern Conference finals?

441
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

442
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: Now they can still hold onto that. Yeah, okay, they

443
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: can still hold on to that. Yeah, I don't ready

444
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: they're ready to pay Oh put why.

445
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 5: Because they don't think he's not going to be back.

446
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 5: He will be back.

447

00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 5: Is that what you'll be.

472
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in San Francisco for Olbie Nights and then

473
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 3: off to La.

474
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, the great I can't wait. I kind

475
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: of interested to see. I love the idea what baseball's

476
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: doing on opening Day, which is one game only, And Bob,

477
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: we go back to the days when the Cincinnati Reds

478
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: used to play the season opener every year, and it

479
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 4: used to be always on Monday, which was the championship

480
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 4: of the NCAA tournament. It was like Opening Day with

481
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: the Reds and then the NCAA Championship.

482
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 5: Where are you, Bob on this? I'm cool.

483
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: It makes it up one game everybody can watch, kind

484
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: of like a bigger deal than having fifteen games going

485
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: at once.

486
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think it's cool. I mean then you

487
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: know the NFL does it with the Super Bowl champions

488
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: and yeah, why not. You know, you wish more people,

489
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: more people can see it, but yeah, it should be a.

490
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: Uh oh, yeah, I get the Netflix with money, you

491
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: know what I mean? Bob, I don't think I just

492
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 5: the NFL doesn't care. They put all that stuff for it.

493
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 5: They don't care.

494
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: Everybody doesn't have Netflix, and that is the disappointing part.

495
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 5: I hear you on that.

496
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, it's cool. I mean especially with the

497
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: you know the fact that the Yankees are there and

498
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge goes back home that sort of thing. So yeah,

499
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 3: it's seen me a real cool environment. You know, Barry

500
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: Bonds will be in the telecast.

501
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw that. What do you what do you

502
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 5: make of that?

503
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 8: Is it?

504
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

505
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: That is that?

506
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: You know, Uh, a Rod was suspended over two hundred games,

507
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: right from Major League Baseball. He's one of the faces

508
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 4: of Major League Baseball on their Fox broadcast and he

509
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 4: does a really good job on television. I think he does.

510
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 4: And now you know, here's Barry Bonds. Uh, it's interesting.

511
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: I know they said he's going to be on the desk,

512
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 4: not in the broadcast booth. But what do you make

513
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 4: of Bonds kind of getting out there in the uh

514
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: you know, public the public lane.

515
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's in the fact at the games

516
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. You know, he's beloved there, you know,

517
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: when he was going through the home run race. Everything else,

518
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 3: he's boot everywhere else except for San Francisco. That you know,

519
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 3: you know he's there a guy, so you'll love it.

520
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: Figure in San Francisco. You know, it makes sense having

521
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: their having their biggest star and you know, hey, he

522
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: was number A spend of a day of his life

523
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: but never never find a penny, So no reason not

524
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 3: to have him on the on the broadcast.

525
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. You said the next time,

526
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: you said your next game is going to be in La.

527
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was for the Dodgers. Could be the Angels,

528
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: but let's talk a little bit about No, no, it's

529
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: not the Angels. No, Bob will be there when they

530
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: give up the rings. I'm just saying, you know, listen

531
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: to Bob on next Thursday in La.

532
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 5: We're in La.

533
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't want to assume. But with the Dodgers,

534
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Rob and I, you know we live here. Obviously, we

535
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: talk about, uh, what they're up against, what they've been,

536
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: what they've been able to do last couple of seasons.

537
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: We discussed prior to them winning, how difficult it is

538
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: it had been twenty five years ago back to back. Uh,

539
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: in that specific the league, you're talking since the seventies

540
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: with the right so grab machine exactly So what are

541
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: you making the Dodgers chances this year? Obviously it's a

542
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: long season, but are they good enough to do this?

543
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: And is it good for baseball to kind of have

544
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: this dynastic thing or not.

545
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: No, I think it's good. I think people love the dynasties.

546
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: You know what it was the Yankees, like you said,

547
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: Red's back in the day, Atlanta won fourteen straight division titles.

548
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: Nobody's complaining about them, and they were at they were

549
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: in five different World Series. No, I think it's good.

550
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: I mean, bottom line is the Dodgers could easily lost

551
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: two years ago to Potterre's They were down to one

552
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 3: and the best of five.

553
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, game Game.

554
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 3: Four in San Diego in uh Lella's face, and the

555
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: Blue Jays beat themselves. The Blue j should have beat

556
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 3: the Dodgers in the World Series. So anything can happen.

557
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

558
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, the Dodgers is so deep, and that's why

559
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: they kind of just treat the regular season as a

560
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 3: dress rehearsal. You know, they're not going out to win

561
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: a heart ten twenty games. You know they'll go out

562
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: and try to win you ninety five games, and so

563
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: cruise the division title and take your chances.

564
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: In let's go, let's go to the WBC, and we

565
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 4: already know. Uh, was that a disaster for the United States?

566
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 4: Japan gets knocked out?

567
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: Uh?

568
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: You know, they they beat the Dominican Republic just two

569
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: to one. Like they the bats went cold. They got

570
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: four runs in the last two games. Bob, was that

571
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 4: a disaster? Embarrassment for the United States not not to

572
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 4: win the WBC, considering the lineup and the roster that

573
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: they put together, and then the idea that they didn't

574
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 4: have to face Japan.

575
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: You know when they uh, I know, before the Japan

576
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: Venezuela game, you know, talking to baseball scouts, every single

577
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: guy talked to says, hey, Venezuela's gonna beat Japan. Japan

578
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 3: is not that none as good this year. They're not

579
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: as deep obviously what Tani wasn't pitching right, So that

580
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 3: was sim a surprise. And the US never really hit

581
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 3: the entire tournament. You know, they used to they uh,

582
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: they pitched lights out. They used to never get the

583
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 3: bats going. So it's not embarrassment. I mean we see,

584
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: you know, teams go cold, and you know it's not

585
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: like the Dodger's going defeated. So Uh, you know, it's

586
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: cool to see the emotion, right, emotion from Venezuela. You know,

587
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: people crying in the stands, on the field, you roll

588
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 3: up in the field position. I mean, even Wilson Contreras

589
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: said today in the Red Sox camp, you know that

590
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 3: that meant more than him than winning the twenty sixteen

591
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: World Series with the Cubs.

592
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm here, we go, Bob. I'm sorry.

593
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: We've talked about this for a week now, which is

594
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: because it gets my panties in a bus. It does

595
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: because this thing has been around for and I get

596
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: the national pride.

597
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to act like it doesn't exist. And

598
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: I understand people. This is an exhibition series in March

599
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: that's been around for twenty years. Ain't no way this

600
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 4: is bigger than the World Series.

601
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 5: And for.

602
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 4: Contrast to say that that this is bigger than the

603
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: Cubs had won in one hundred years, do you remember

604
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 4: those old guys in the stands die now that held

605
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: up to sign Bob that they could die because they

606
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: finally sort of killed Cubs win. I don't believe it.

607
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 4: I don't care what they say. It ain't bigger than

608
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: the World Series.

609
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 3: I think the guy from the foreign countries, it can be.

610
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Ronald COONa said the same thing. Obviously he

611
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: wasn't healthy when Atlanta won the World Series, but he

612
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: said the same thing even going in. So let's be honest,

613
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: it's a whole different, different thing for the foreign countries

614
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: in the US. But you know, to see the reaction,

615
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I've seeing that reaction in a world

616
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 3: serious game where you know, like you said, people are

617
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: just openly sobbing and the fans are sobbing and this

618
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: is pretty special.

619
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: That's what I would tell the rout for a whole week.

620
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to listen to him, Bob, I don't care.

621
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 5: I just don't. I told him. Outside of America, it

622
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 5: means like life or death for them. It means it's

623
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 5: only been around for twenty years. They didn't even grow

624
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 5: up with it to have like some sort of affinity.

625
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 4: This isn't the Olympics that have been around since the

626
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 4: Stone Age.

627
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 5: I'm saying, what, how can you be disattached to an

628
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 5: exhibition count on the Jersey?

629
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 3: Right on?

630
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 5: He did twenty years, it's been around. Come on, we'll.

631
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: Say at least this one had some implications that if

632
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: you finished the top three, you're going Olympics. So here's Venezuela.

633
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 3: They punch your ticket to the Uh to the Olympics.

634
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, hey, the Olympics means more to this,

635
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: but for baseball it's than their version Olympics. I know

636
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 3: it's only been around, you know, six times over twenty years. Uh,

637
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 3: but you know, I'd be surprised if you know, the

638
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: American guy said, oh, this is better, better than the

639
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: winning World Series. I think what I think Judge said

640
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: it best. He goes, this atmosphere was better, yea experience

641
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: the World Series. You didn't say it meant more to

642
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: the World Series, but the atmosphere was better.

643
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 5: I agree that.

644
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 4: Not at that part I can get because it is

645
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 4: a great atmosphere.

646
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: You are, you're okay with that, not the other statement.

647
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: Bob Night and Gela, I guess all with the couple

648
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: on the TV things on Thursday, Bob, I want to

649
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: go there. I'm glad you mentioned Aaron Judge. I was

650
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna go there.

651
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 5: Uh.

652
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Rob and I talk about him, We know how standing

653
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: he is. Uh, but people like to nitpick him because

654
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you're great any sport. But how

655
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: important is it for you to for him? Baseball isn't

656
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: like a quarterback. You kind of got to have that

657
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or star player Lebron Kobe in the NBA.

658
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: You kind of got to have that championship. Does he

659
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: have to have that champion? Does he have to have

660
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: those big harroric moments?

661
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 4: He needs to win a World Series in New York

662
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: with the Yankees. I'm telling you that, go ahead, what

663
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: do you bob?

664
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 5: What do you do?

665
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, they could have put the rubber stamp,

666
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: but I mean, you know, hey, Barry Bondes was the

667
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: best player, you know in the game. He never won

668
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: a World Series. You know a lot of the guy

669
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: he's never won a World Series. So you would hope

670
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: the uh you know, the Yankees would get there more

671
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: often least give him a chance, uh to win it. Yeah,

672
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: I think, you know, that's the uh the holy grail

673
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 3: left left for him and just wringing a World Series

674
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: with the Yankees. But I don't think it diminishes his career.

675
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: It's not like it's not only they're missing the playoffs,

676
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: you know every year? Is that like you know, a

677
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: Mike Troup situation. The Yankees are always comittive, and I

678
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: think he's.

679
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 4: The best player, and I get and I'm just saying,

680
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: like he could, Bob, and you've covered the game for

681
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: a long time, could go down as one of the

682
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 4: greatest right handed hitters, the greatest of all times if

683
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 4: he continues this. Obviously there's years ago, but the power,

684
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: the the average batting average last year, Bob is something

685
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: like two forty two.

686
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: This dude batted three thirty one with power.

687
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unbelievable. What he uh, what he means the Yankees, really,

688
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: what he means the game. And he's a he's a

689
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: piece of baseball. And I said that over Tommy because

690
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: you know he's doing all the interviews, uh, you know

691
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: the commercials of the US. Hey, when you're when you're

692
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: the centerpiece of New York. And I will say, he's

693
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 3: like the uh, you know, the nicest guy's ever met,

694
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: right right, just that baseball player, but unbelievable guy. So

695
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: you mean he's a true, true class and a true leader.

696
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: And you know what, go ahead ahead, I'm gonna say, Bob,

697
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: you know what I knew it was different.

698
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you. And you could agree or disagree

699
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 5: with me.

700
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 4: When they gave him that Judges chamber at Yankee Stadium, Bob,

701
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: the Yankees had never done anything for an individual player ever.

702
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 4: I never saw anything, not even for Jeter. And I

703
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: thought to myself, now that's saying a lot, Bob. When

704
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: they then, you know that they still have it where

705
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: fans put on the robes and the wigs and for

706
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 4: judge crazy.

707
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

708
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, even when he was in center field, when Soda

709
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: was there, they still had it. And you know now

710
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: of course he's back in the right field. But just

711
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: a real hombo guy too. I know they wanted he

712
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: was a captain of the us A team, but they

713
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: asked him, hey, you want to you know, a patch

714
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: of see in a uniform. He said, no, I don't

715
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: need that. I don't want to see in my uniform.

716
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: I just show up that type of guy.

717
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 5: Hey, I one more for me.

718
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of go into the season, we

719
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: often talk about talking about the Yankees, the Dodgers, maybe

720
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, the.

721
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 5: Mariner, so on and so forth.

722
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: Teams you kind of expect, give me a team or

723
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: two that you're saying, hey, they're right there on the cuffs.

724
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 5: Maybe it was Detroit a couple of years ago.

725
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: They're on the cuffs of making some noise keep eye

726
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: out on this team or maybe you know or even

727
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: a player.

728
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think in the America League, it's certainly almost

729
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: a coin flip to see between Detroit and Seattle. You know,

730
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: both are knocking the door for Detroit. You know, you

731
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: know robb us who live there. But I think they're

732
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: taking advantage of Scooble. Uh say, okay, we got him

733
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 3: for one more year. That's where we signed Framer Veldek

734
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 3: because you know he'll be gone right and we got

735
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: our race. They want to take full advantage of Schoogle.

736
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 8: So it'd be.

737
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: Cool for the Tigers to finally get back to the World Series.

738
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, you know, shoot, ever won that thing?

739
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: Says eighty four? Uh so that's kind of feel good

740
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: store n OCL has never been to the World Series.

741
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: I won't want it. Uh, but yeah, I mean that's

742
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: a uh you know, kind of a team of route

743
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: for two you know in the National League. Uh, Philadelphia's ten.

744
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: That team when we talks about anymore, because the ain't

745
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: really make any additions, no subtractions, but they're they're starting

746
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 3: to get older now. I mean the time is running

747
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: on them. I think for them to win the World Series.

748
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 3: You know, they got to do it this year.

749

Speaker 1: Jackie Chan Bruce Lee kick. My goodness. All right, Jim

825
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: Beheim rob at it again.

826
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 5: That's the best way to say it. At it again.

827
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: Have some more to say about the potential coach who

828
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: they should hire at Syracuse and saying that the idea

829
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: just the you had the gall to think, the amitigated golf,

830
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: the amitigated gall to think folks may want to consider

831
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: going outside of the Syracuse club.

832
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's see Jim Behink coach for fifty five years,

833
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 4: they won one championship. If Carmelo didn't make a pitch

834
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: stop there, he would have none, right, and then their

835
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 4: last coach, right for a few years, four years, three

836
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 4: or four years, three years, three years, they didn't make

837
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 4: the playoffs any those years. They haven't made the tournament

838
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 4: in five years. What are we talking about? And it's

839
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: so ancestral. I thought that his son, he must have

840
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 4: a son that's a coach or somebody's trying to get in,

841
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like this whole idea that

842
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 4: Syracuse can't go outside the family, like this is a

843
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: mob situation, Like like really, Jim behind O? Is it

844
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: like Jim behind e? I mean like, am I missing

845
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 4: a bowel at the end of his name? No, seriously,

846
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 4: it sounds like.

847
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 5: It's the mob.

848
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: Like do you never go against a family? That's what

849
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 4: he said, Yeah, he said what it's talking about. You've

850
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 4: had a family run of nearly sixty years and then

851
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: and it hasn't worked out, and and it's and it

852
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 4: did did fine?

853
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 5: You got one?

854
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 4: It's okay to go s onehigh five years and one

855
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 4: is not did fine?

856
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 5: I'm so I just for the fanfare of his name,

857
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 5: I'm with you.

858
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: No, what I'm just saying, like, if you really like

859
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 4: just fifty five years not the Cubs went through one

860
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 4: hundred year drought and you had one manager during that time.

861
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 4: You have one coach in fifty five years and they

862
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: only won one championship.

863
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: So the idea now that we can't look elsewhere that

864
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: our answer isn't elsewhere. It might be an NBA coach,

865
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: a young NBA coach who wants to come back, you know,

866
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: and do college. It might be a smaller school who's playing.

867
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: They're saying, Jerry McNamara. Of course he played there, so

868
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: he's Sianna. Well, he's the coach of Sianna. They just

869
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: put up a great fight against Duke Aus. We'll be

870
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: talking about So now his name's gonna be buzzing. Look,

871
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: how did it all.

872
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if I'm the ad and I know

873
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 4: they're getting a new ad up there live, let me

874
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: let me look. Yeah, and let's stretch the net right

875
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: further out and let's see what we have.

876
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 5: Let's not limit ourselves the only people went to Syracuse.

877
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: Because next thing, you know, we might be creating the

878
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: next Syracuse guy.

879
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

880
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: We bring in a young guy who's good Jim Behin

881
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: fifty some years ago, and this person has a great success,

882
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: and now we got a new guy for the next

883
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five years. So yeah, it's twenty twenty six.

884
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,080

885
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm in agreement with you on that, all right, This

886
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: is Kay Cunningham hurt. We got to talk about it.
