00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Don't listening the Fox Sports Radio. Fox Sports Radio. Well,

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: let's see the Masters is in a randelay. It's possible,

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe not probable, but possible. We have our first Masters

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Monday finish since nineteen eighty three. If you're scoring at home,

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: and I hope you are, Tiger Woods did make the cut.

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: He's in fifty fourth place, which is last place. But

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: if you saw the poor guy trying to walk today,

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: you will hold your jokes. And not for nothing. A

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: live golfer might win the Masters and make less money

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: then he made last week. We'll explain that later. Oh yeah,

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: an NBA team loses on purpose, not a good look

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: in this particular case. And I hear there's even an investigation.

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: We'll break that down. Playoffs. Talk about playoffs, Jim Mora, Well,

14

Speaker 1: got a jam pack show. And you know why sports. Look,

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: we don't have royalty in this country. Our athletes are royalty.

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: That's why sports are entertainment. But there's so much more

31
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: than then. That's a U and me there, there's certainly

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: a shared experience. People want to talk about them. You've

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: come to the right place. We got a lot to

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: talk about tonight. Welcome in the Bernie Fradershaw will take

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: you all the way to three m Pacific, six am Eastern.

36
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: And as they say in Herb Brooks, Minnesota, it's gonna

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: be let not a whole hell of a lot to

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: talk about. As it pertains to the Masters Brooks keepka

39
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: Is He's thirteen hinder. He's gone a solid four stroke

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: lead over John Rom who's very formidable. But Rom will

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: either have to charge in a big way or Keepka

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: would have to spit the bit, which I don't expect

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Keepca minus one ten to win the whole thing now

44
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Rom plus one sixty and a tip of the calf

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: to Sam Bennett whose minus six started out two thousand

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and one odds down to forty to one odds, and

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: after that Victor Hovlin right on down the line. I

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: don't expect brooks Kepka to blow this. We'll just leave

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: it there. We'll watch it. I'm looking forward to it.

50
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a long Sunday because Keepka has actually

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: what twelve holes to finish for round three, as does Rom,

52
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: as does Bennett, and then you've got the eighteen hole

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: remainder the tournament for round four. Meanwhile, and this is interesting,

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: this year's Masters winner will earn three point two million.

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: That's the highest ever, and the prize purse for the

56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: Masters this year total of eighteen man, is the highest ever.

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: The Augusta National just announced that on Saturday. The previous

58
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: record prize money total was last year fifteen man and

59
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Scottie Scheffler, he won the green jacket last year he

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: won two point seven million. And why don't I bring

61
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: this up because I covered the you know, the whole

62
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: concept of what Lived Golf Tour stood for last year.

63
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Just from a matter of report Hodge, it wasn't taking sides.

64
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Wouldn't believe how many knuckleheads on Twitter losing your mind

65
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: as if I was an agent for Live. You didn't

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: play kill the messenger all you want, but these are

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: the facts. This purse might be his or by Augustus standards,

68
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: but it's still pales in the twenty five million purses

69
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: that the Live Tour has in all of their fifty

70
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: four hole events. And that's caused, you know, a chasm

71
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: among the elite golfers when they launched last June. And

72
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Burke's Kapka, Who's who's one of the He's the leader

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: in the glovehouse right now for the Master's title. Well,

74
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: he won a Live tournament last week and in Orlando

75
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: pocketed four million. So Live with liv which is the

76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: Greek numeral fifty four their tournaments or fifty four holes.

77
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: They offer record prize money, guaranteed money, shorter events and

78
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: as such, they lured several big name stars in the

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: PGA in spite the concerns over the you know, Saudi

80
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Arabian human rights and he'sa get all that. Now. The

81
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: Masters is not a PGA Tour event. They stand on

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: their own. It's a tradition like every other who has

83
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: a tradition. I mean, they do pat theirselves in the back,

84
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: but it's pretty cool. I've been of the Masters. I

85
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: actually have been there and went their nineteen ninety nine

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: and I think that's a story for a different day.

87
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: But the p tour as band la players from their events.

88
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: And look, this legal battle is going to end up

89
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: in a courtroom next year and that is that. So

90
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to an Easter Sunday, as I hope

91
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: you all are, and as well as the situation where

92
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I do believe the most likely it's gonna be a

93
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: long Sunday, they should get it in Sunday. They haven't

94
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: had a Monday finish since nineteen eighty three. Speaking of

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Monday finishes, the NBA, they wrap things up Sunday and

96
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference pretty cut and dried. You know, you

97
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: got Boston Milwaukee playing a set. However, the West is

98
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: where all the storylines are. You have four games Sunday.

99
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: By the way, all all thirty teams will be in

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: action Sunday, all right, and you know how this works.

101
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: If you are seated seven through ten year in the

102
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: playing tournament. You know the one where Lebron wanted the

103
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: guy who came up with it fired. Thanks for that, Lebron.

104
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Bottom line is, here's how it works. The seventh seed

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: will play the eighth seed. The winner he's in. You're

106
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. The loser of the seven verses the

107
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: eight game will play the winner of the nine verses

108
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: ten game. The winner of that is in. So if

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: you're a nine or ten seed, you're going to have

110
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: to win two games. If you're a seven or eight seed,

111
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: you just have to win one game. And there are

112
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: four games. They're gonna really decide the remaining Western Conference

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: playoff and play in seedings, and they're all going down

114
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: Sunday at twelve to thirty Pacific three thirty East to

115
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans is at Minnesota Jazz at the Lakers. Lakers

116
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: is seventeen and a half point favorite. Last I saw

117
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Clippers at the Phoenix Suns Golden State at Portland. They

118
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: all have implications, and I don't know that folks automatically

119
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: are aware of what's happening here. So let's break it down.

120
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: So you have a loup, you can watch these games

121
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: with a little context. Clippers currently have a record of

122
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: forty three and thirty eight. They're currently if the season

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: in it today, they have a number six seed because

124
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: of a better division record than Golden State. Now this

125
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: may seem a little granular, but there's let's break this down.

126
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: The Clippers I would not necessarily feel like they're in

127
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: the greatest of situations because if the Clippers win Sunday,

128
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: they'll face this Phoenix Suns in the first round. The

129
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: Suns right to know what they're ant in the lineup,

130
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: and right now they could very well be the best

131
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Western Conference team despite having the fourth best record. And

132
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: part of that might be health of teams that we're

133
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: talking about. Talk with that. I talk about that with

134
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: Mark Badeina coming up at midnight. I'm really not so

135
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: sure how healthy the Lakers are, and I realized Shannon

136
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: Sharp is as short as no one wants to see

137
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers, I'm not so sure of that. I think

138
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: the Lakers can shoot themselves in the foot. I think

139
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: they have a better chance of getting knocked out in

140
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: the playing game than they do of getting into the

141
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: conference finals. Are getting them the NBA Finals. But again

142
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: that's the story. This is a long haul, so we'll

143
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: be covering all of it. The flip side. The Clippers lose,

144
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: they run the risk of falling all the way to seven,

145
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: and then they might have to earn their way into

146
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: a playoff spot through the play tournaments. So the Clippers

147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: aren't in great shakes right now, and so that would

148
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: happen if the New Orleans Pelican New Orleans Pelicans win,

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: and the Lakers and Warriors win, and the Jazz and

150
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Warriors win, or and the Jazz and Blazers win. If

151
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: you follow all that, you're better than me. Golden State

152
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: also forty three and thirty eight, interestingly enough, and they're

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: in a number six right now, tied with the Clippers.

154
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: The Lakers actually have the tiebreaker over the Warriors, but

155
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: the Clippers have the tiebreakers over the later. Its pretty

156
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: simple for the Warriors, though Golden State completely avoids the

157
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: plan tournament. Just beat Portland Sunday. However, if they lose,

158
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: they can fall as far as number eight. Now, they'd

159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: beat the number five seed if the Warriors beat Portland

160
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Sunday and the Clippers lose to Phoenix. But if the

161
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Clippers beat Phoenix, then the Warriors best case scenario is

162
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: the number six seed. I trust the Warriors. Actually there's

163
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: a pedigree here, and I just get the sense the

164
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: Warriors get it done against Portland, and that simplifies that

165
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Portland will be your number sixth seed. And that's that.

166
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Lakers forty two and thirty nine. I give them credit.

167
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: They fought down the stretch, unlike some other team that

168
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: rhymes with Dallas Mavericks, which I'm going to excoreate later.

169
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: But the Lakers need to beat the Jazz to head

170
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: just have a chance. I'm not having to be stuck

171
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: in the playing game. So if the Lakers beat the Jazz,

172
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: now they're gonna need they would also need Golden State

173
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: to lose to the Trailblazers team, which I wouldn't you know,

174
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on it because it's my understanding. Portland's

175
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: gonna sit most of their best players because they've been

176
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: sitting most of their best players since they've been eliminated

177
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: for blaff contingent. Actually simply what you do and this

178
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: man's NBA just sit your players all the time. Now,

179
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: a loss of the Jazz. If the Lakers were lose

180
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: to the Jazz, they would fall to number eight. They

181
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: would have to travel to play at number seven, no

182
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: matter what. There's also one scenario where the Lakers win

183
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: and still drop the number eight, but for that to happen,

184
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: Golden State, New Orleans and the Clippers would all have

185
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: to win. So I gotta pay attention to the Sunday,

186
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: which brings up the New Orleans Pelicans. There are scenarios

187
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: are all over the map. They can actually finish as

188
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: high as a number five seed or follow the way

189
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: to number nine. How does that happen? Because they're currently

190
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: number eight, forty two and thirty nine. But if the

191
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Pelicans lose Sunday, they drop all the way to number nine.

192
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Good night, Thank you for participating. We'll see in the

193
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: play tournament. But if the Pelicans win, that gives him

194
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: a shot to get his high as number five, but

195
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: they'd need some tremendous help. There's a bunch of scenarios.

196
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Let's just put it this way. The Pelicans can't get

197
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: the number five seed unless they win in Portland beats

198
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Golden State not likely. More realistically, New Orleans can get

199
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: the sixth seed with the win and watch Golden State

200
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: and Phoenix win, but I'm sure the Clippers will have

201
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: something to say about that. Finally, the Minnesota Timberwolves. They're

202
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: locked into the playing tournament no matter what. They're stuck

203
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: at number nine other than nothing. Obviously, they'd like to

204
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: move up from ninth place to eighth or seventh, which

205
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: would give them an automatic win an in scenario, but

206
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: if the Timberwolves win and the Lakers lose, they can

207
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: go as high as seventh. Should the Lakers win, though

208
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: the t Wolves can only go as high as eighth.

209
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: A loss locks him into ninth, which would set up

210
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: a home date with the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are

211
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: locked into the ten spot. I actually think I would

212
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: rather see the Lakers play Minnesota than the Pelicans. The

213
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Pelicans will be without Zion, what a shock. I'm a

214
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: big Zion fan, but he hasn't played since Nixon was president.

215
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: At some point that starts to get you get under

216
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: somebody's skin. With him in the lineup, they're really good

217
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: and he's very dominating. But you know what's the whole

218
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: thing about availability, Well, he has been available at least

219
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: to be on the floor. However, I think of Minnesota

220
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: Lakers playing game would would be very interesting and I

221
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: would have my spot marked out on the couch for

222
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: that one. So I hope you followed all that. We

223
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: may be visit it later. We get so much to

224

Speaker 1: get to you tonight. We may need seven or eight hours,

225
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have to clear that with Andy Furman

226
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040

263
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: yeah for sure. Let's you know, what did you do

264
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: forget I live here? Did you? Big fella? Big man?

265
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: You're all over the place. I don't know. Yeah that's true.

266
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm not Yeah, yeah, well that's true. Trying to stay

267
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: one step ahead of the you know the law. But Tony,

268
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: let's I got a lot of ground to cover before

269
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: I look ahead. I want to look back. Um, correct

270
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. It's my understanding. The handle on

271
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: the on the March Madness tournament was a little down.

272
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Is that partly due to the fact that you didn't

273
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: have traditional blue bloods as you as the tournament went on?

274
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Or Am I wrong about that exactly? You hit it

275
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: right on the head of Bernie. You're right. Uh, it

276
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: was down this year for us the Golden Nugget, But

277
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: you know what, it was a great tournament, and you know,

278
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: we had those undergods come in like that. It's so

279
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: exciting and it was anybody's ball game, anybody's tournament this year.

280
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: But you're right, it was. The handle was way down

281
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: compared to the the past years. And it's all because you know,

282
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: those big names just weren't there. And when you lose

283
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: the number one seed like Perduo right off the bat,

284
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: it really cuts into the handle. And when those one

285
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: season two seeds we're going down. It hurts pretty good

286
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: as far as the counter business went. So let's talk

287
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: about the here and now the Masters is under way.

288
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: We haven't had a Monday finished since nineteen eighty three.

289
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: When you see what's taking place, which is what is

290
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: taking place where play is halted, how does that effect

291
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: you as a bookmaker. Well, it's kind of hard, you know,

292
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: because we want to see those things play out and

293
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: be a good tournament and has some consistency as far

294
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: as you know. Momentum goes and it keeps halting because

295
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: of the weather. But the other side of that is

296
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: we keep putting up the odds every night, and so

297
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: we could put up the odds for tomorrow and it

298
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: goes into Monday, will put the odds up Sunday night,

299
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: which we normally don't do, and so it creates handle

300
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: and let's people get out there. Still way drawing the

301
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: Masters even though it goes into Monday. But yeah, it

302
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of sucks because you know it's being halted like

303
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: this so many times and really hurt the momentum of

304
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: the game. Talking with Tony Millner's longtime sports director at

305
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: the Golden Nugget here in Las Vegas, a fan favorite,

306
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: what I was kind of alluding to is, and I'll

307
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: always tell people read the rules. Read the sports book rules,

308
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Like if you got to take it on a baseball

309
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: game and it's rained out, that doesn't carry over the

310
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: next day, right there are people have to read the rules.

311
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: Every every house is different. So when a round three

312
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: day is not finished on day three and it spills

313
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: in the day four, does that affect any of the wagers? Yeah,

314
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: you're right, Bernie. Different different sports books have different rules

315
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: for their house rules. And my rules at the Golden

316
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Nugget is, if you bet on round three, you're gonna

317
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: get paid for round three, no matter when that day ends.

318
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: So even though it might end tomorrow, the next day

319
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: or whatever. We're gonna pay round three as it goes

320
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: on and the future champion overall. So yeah, but be careful,

321
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: make sure you understand the rules wherever you wage you're at.

322
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: And that's a good point, man. You gotta look at

323
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: all those rules because they're all different. It feels like

324
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: it's Brooks, Kapka and Ram and everybody else my understanding

325
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: heading into Sunday. Brooks ket but minus one ten with

326
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: his four stroke lead, John Ram minus one sixty. Are

327
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: you seeing any kilted action on any particular golfer for Sunday? Uh? No,

328
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: we we got some action last night on Rom. You know,

329
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: he had some momentum going into the into the round today.

330
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: But you know, you can see what happens today. He

331
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: kept out a little bit more of a lead, and uh,

332
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's gonna still gonna be exciting.

333
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: And I just don't think it's bound to those lasts two.

334
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: You gotta look out for the guys coming up. Look

335
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: at still how he's playing right now and can't lay

336
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: is coming up. So we'll see what happens in the

337
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 1: next day or two. And you know it's gonna be exciting.

338
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: I think. You know, the Master's always is always a

339
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: fun finish, So if it hangs on the way it is,

340
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: we're looking good in the book as far as the

341
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: action goes, and uh, I hope it plays out really

342
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: well and comes down to exciting events. Did you put

343
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: a number on Sam Bennett? I saw some shops had

344
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: him at two thousand and one. Did you have a

345
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: number on him to start the tournament? We did. I

346
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: had to put a number out there on all the

347
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: amateurs always do. We had him at a thousand, the

348
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: one at my shop. I had zero bets on him.

349
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: But he's playing really well and somebody reckoned with in

350
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: the future. You know what, I don't see it in

351
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: the cars for Sunday because he's eight shots back or

352
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: seven shots back, but he's put together back to back

353
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: sixty eights. Who knows anything can happen, right, but I

354
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: doubt it would happen. Buddy, when when you tee off

355
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: with Ram and kept going, you know, like today, you

356
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: know your knees are banging a little bit when you're

357
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: in there with those boys when your last group out there.

358
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: So props to him, though, I hope he comes back,

359
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, props had been such a big part of

360
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: the sports betting he landscape over the last several years.

361
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: It's picked up every year. I understand Tiger Woods was

362
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: plus money plus one seventy five to make the top

363
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: twenties in fifty fourth place. The poor guy can hardly walk.

364
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me if he he draws. What kind of

365
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: action did you get on Tiger Woods for the tournament?

366
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: And he props people still fire on him. Yeah, people

367
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: love Tiger. You know, he's got that name, he's got

368
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: that charisma, and they're rooting for the guy who's been

369
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: down and out and you know, look what he's gone

370
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: through in the last few years, and the public is

371
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: totally behind him. No matter what the odds are, no

372
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: matter what tournament he's in, they're gonna back Tiger. And

373
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: that's not just the Masters, that's all majors and from

374
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: your on going forward, they're gonna back Tiger no matter what.

375
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: He's a fan sentimental favorite, and uh, you know, it's

376
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: a shame to seeing what he's going through now. But yeah,

377
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: we put Tiger up there, and we put some big

378
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: odds out there for him, and you know, it's tough

379
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: to see what he's going through right now, but prompts

380
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: to him and he made the cut and yeah, yeah,

381
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: twenty three in a row. Even even already didn't do that.

382
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: Our old palmer missed the cut about seventeen times. He

383
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: played like in forty of these things. Uh tony. One

384
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: last thing regarding Masters, are any particular golfers standing out

385
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: him as far as liability for the books? You know what, Bernie,

386
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: The only girlfriend had liability on was Scottie Scheffler and

387
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: uh Cleaveland or not. He got a lot of play

388
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 1: coming into this, and I know he's he's been hot lady,

389
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: and he was the favorite going into this thing. But

390
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: I had his odd it's a little bit higher, you know.

391
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different thing when you play the Masters.

392
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: Even though he won it last year, he came in

393
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: with a lot of plays. I didn't need Scottie. And

394
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: there's a few other ones out there guys I know

395
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: had no chance, Guys like Freddie Couples. He's a fan favorite,

396
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, come on, Freddie had some big

397
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: odds out there, and he's a big loss for us,

398
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: and of course Tiger, but those were his big three

399
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, it's interesting Scottie Scheffler. He was ten

400
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: hundred last year and he's he didn't embarrass himself. I

401
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: think he's three hundred right now, but I don't think

402
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: he's a going to be factor. Tony. One of the

403
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: things I was really looking forward to talking to you tonight.

404
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: We're talking with Tony Miller, the sports book director of

405
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: the Golden Nugget here in Las Vegas. Given the new

406
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: baseball rules and the propensity for offense, the shifts, the

407
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: pickoff rules, the pitch clock, etc. How has that affected

408
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: your ability at the book to put up numbers, specifically totals.

409
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: It's tough burn. You know, I knew going into this year,

410
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean usually I put up a lot

411
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: of props going into the MLB season. Stolen Bases was

412
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: one of them, and you know, I didn't put it

413
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: up this year because of the new rules. The bigger

414
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: bases is the pickoffs and all the things happening and

415
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: the shifts and stuff. So I just wanted to wait

416
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: a year. I took it off this year, and I

417
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: didn't put them up because I just want to see

418
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: what's happening and the offensive. You know, stats are gonna

419
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: go up and you can see it already. It's happening.

420
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: The public has betting a lot of overs in these games.

421
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Baseball toads are going to start going up. They have to,

422
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: And I think the hitters have a unique advantage over

423
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: to the pictures right now, and the public knows it too,

424
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: and they're betting the overs, and so I'm kind of

425
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: shading the overs in my sports book every day, and

426
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: the overs will starting to come in. Yeah, they certainly

427
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: are certain teams right and left. So the next bigger

428
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm what kind of handle do you expect

429
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: on the NBA playoffs that I'm guessing The next big

430
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: event three weeks from Thursday, the NFL Draft. But Tony,

431
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: you're one of the sharpest book bookmakers I've ever You

432
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: don't even I don't think you even waste your time

433
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: with the NFL draft props anymore, do you. You You know, Bernie,

434
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: I didn't do it last year because the draft wasn't Vegas.

435
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, man, there was so much

436
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: insight information going around. I didn't want to deal with it. Yeah,

437
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: there was a lot of players here are those a

438
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: lot of family members here. There was a lot of

439
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: agents here, and there was a lot of insight stuff

440
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: going on. They had Privy two that I did not,

441
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: so I did not book it. I'm glad I didn't

442
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: because he was kind of a disaster around the NFL

443
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: Draft last year. So yeah, I'll do it this year.

444
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: It's not here in Vegas, but yeah, it's the big event.

445
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: And of course no one can really blame me, Tony

446
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: if you put smaller limits, because it's all about information

447
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: and it's not that hard to get. Finally, Tony, before

448
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: we move ahead, you guys do such a great job

449
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: with the Golden Nugget contests, college football, the NFL, and

450
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be here before you know it.

451
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: My goodness, Right, we're already into mid April. What have

452
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: you got cooking for the fall with respect to your contests. Yeah,

453
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: we have a unique contest of the Golden Nugget where

454
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: we mix pro and college football picks. Every week. Instead

455
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: of five picks, you do seven picks. You can do

456
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: college games and I put every college game on the

457
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: board along with the NFL games. So it's a fun contest.

458
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: It's a good little contest, a thousand dollars entry, and

459
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: it's getting very, very popular and I'm getting up for

460
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: it right now. We're looking into it and getting things

461
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: ready and getting all the paperwork and applications set, and

462
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: we'll start getting for early sign ups to that probably

463
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: late July early offs. You guys do a great job

464
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: with that contest. Tony. Great to talk to you, buddy.

465
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: Happy Easter to you and your family. I'm going to

466
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: get down to the Nuggets a week and hug Bernie.

467
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: You come down each time. You're ready, buddy, and you're fantastic.

468
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: What a great show. Thank you, Thanks Tony, appreciate you, budd.

469
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: That's Tony Miller, the long time sports book director here

470
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. An absolute fan favor.

471
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: If you ever get down to the Golden Nugget, I mean,

472
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Steve Wynn built that property back in the eighties and

473
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: it still holds up. It's beautiful. It's downtown where a

474
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: lot of action is near on Fremont Street. Coming up.

475
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: We just witnessed the Dallas Mavericks with Luca don Check

476
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: and Kyle Irving completely punt on a chance of making

477
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: the pollseason. There's tanking and there's tanking, but I don't

478
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: think the league has ever seen what Dallas has just done,

479
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: and I'm about to put a size eleven up there.

480
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: Took us. But first let's go to Kevin Wirett with

481
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: the latest. Yeah, Bernie, the NBA is actually investigating the

482
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: Mavericks for sending those players last night, So yeah, it's coming.

483
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: They of course lost and got themselves eliminated from the

484
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: playoff chase. It might have to do with the fact

485
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: that the draft pick they traded away it's top ten protected.

486
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Just a speculation there, but yeah, very well could factor

487
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: into why they made that decision, you think. The third

488
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: round of the Masters, concluding on Sunday after play was

489
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: suspended Saturday, brooks Kepka in the lead by four strokes

490
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: over John rom Tiger Woods made the cut just barely,

491
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: but he did so for a record twenty third consecutive

492
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: time that he has played in the Masters. He now

493
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: sits at nine over par. Justin Thomas, however, did miss

494
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: the cut. The NBA regular season ends on Sunday. The

495
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Clippers beat Portland on Saturday one thirty six, one twenty five.

496
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: That means they will avoid the playing tournament if they

497
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: win at the Suns On Sunday's finale, Flora Atlantic, fresh

498
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: off their Final four appearance, giving head coach Dusty May

499
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: a ten year extension. In the Frozen Four, it's Quinnipiac

500
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: capturing the NC Double A men's hockey TiAl with an

501
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: overtime goal against top seed in Minnesota final, scoring that

502
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: one at three to two. Major League Baseball, the Diamondbacks

503
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: trailed the Dodgers four nothing in the first sitting, but

504
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: they beat La twelve eight. However, Arizona starting pitcher Zach

00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Davies leaving with a strained Obleague San Diego wins Atlanta

506

Speaker 1: The Phillies were three runs in the ninth inning edge

512
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: the Reds three to two. The Royals scored a wild

513
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: pitch in the ninth and won sixty five. At San Francisco,

514

Speaker 1: that game already hit it, having his fifth home run

516
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: of the season. Angels win the Lake game against the

Speaker 1: Blue Jay's nine to five. Mike Trout was a three

518
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: run homer for Los Angeles. About Cody Bernie all right,

519
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: thanks Kevin. All right, folks, let's see, you're a Dallas

520
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: Mavericks fan. Back on February six, you were a playoff team.

521
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: You were, as of that date, the number four seed

522
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: in the West. Then you pick up Kyrie Irving and

523
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: you go all in. I'd like to thank the Dallas

524
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: Mavericks were participating in the twenty two twenty three seasons.

525
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: Since they got Since the Mavericks got Kyrie Irving, they

526
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: were nine and seventeen. Down the stretch, they were eight

527
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: and twelve with Kyrie on the floor. And when Kyrie

528
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: and Luca, the comedic stylings of Kyrie and Luca were

529
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: together on the floor, they were a spectacular five and eleven.

530
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm totally shocked by that. You got

531
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: two ball dominant guys who don't play hell of a

532
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: lot of defense. Their point differation a differential minus two

533
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: per game. The Mavericks were allowing their opponents to shoot

534
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: fifty percent from the floor. They had the fifth worst

535
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: record in the NBA since February eighth, by the way,

536
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: and this is even more delicious because Kyrie Irving's old team,

537
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets, they actually made the playoffs, not to

538
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: play in game the playoff. That's right. The Brooklyn Nets

539
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: are the number six seed in the East. They're probably

540
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: gonna get Philly in the first round. That's no prize.

541
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: But they acquitted themselves quite well. Meanwhile, Jason Kidd, I

542
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: like his shorts aren't clean either. He was toying the

543
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: company line tap dancing quite well last night. But even

544
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, heading into that faithful game

545
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: Friday night, which I'm gonna get to in a second,

546
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd was talking about how you know, Uka, don

547
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Chich and Kyrie they needed time. They needed time to gel.

548
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: They needed time. You gotta be patient, right you do.

549
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't take any time to play hard. You can

550
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: do that day one. You do that minute one. Doesn't

551
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: play take any time to have a little desire on defense,

552
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: That's what defense is is desire. Doesn't take any time

553
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: to hustle right out of the gate. And you know, yeah,

554
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: if you've ever been in the locker room at the

555
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: University of Michigan. They used to have a sign up

556
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: there on the wall said it doesn't take any talent

557
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: to hustle and be on time. So, irrespective of whether

558
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: or not, the whole was better than some of its parts.

559
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: With Kyrie and and Luca on the floor at the

560
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: same time, which clearly it was not, I am not

561
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: buying for one second. They didn't have time to gel.

562
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: Twenty six games is more than twenty five percent of

563
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: the season. And you know what's the old saying about

564
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: the best abilities availability? How about responsibility? This team looked

565
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: like a drunk crossing and icy street. It was pathetic

566
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: to watch. And on February sixth, before getting Kyrie Irving,

567
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: the Mavericks were the number four seed in the West.

568
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: What the hell happened Friday night happened? And this is

569
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: not the first time Mark Cuban's professional basketball team has quit.

570
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's going to publicly admit at

571
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: this time. And I liked Mark Cuban. I asked for

572
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: and was granted an interview Back in November nineteenth, two

573
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: thousand and five. It was the one year anniversary of

574
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: the Mouse at the Palace. It was in Dallas. It

575
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: was in his war room. The Pistons happened to be

576
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: in town that night. He was great man, he's a

577
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: good guy, but I don't like what he did here.

578
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: And again, this is not the first time Cuban as

579
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: an owner has thrown in the towel. I'll explain. See,

580
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: rather than go all in to make the NBA playing tournament,

581
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: the Mavericks, they decided to opt out. Right, we're not

582
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: going to pursue our pulsy and chances. They needed to

583
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: win both of the remaining regular season games. I get

584
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: that for a chance to qualify for the plane, but

585
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: the MAVs decided to pass. They folded their hand, never

586
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: even really gave it the effort you'd expect, because several

587
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: hours before the game on Friday night, the MAVs announced

588
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: the following. Kyrie Irving well, legedly he has a right

589
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: foot injury and he's recovering. Okay, I don't question injuries.

590
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: Josh Green was gonna sit. The reason rest I guess

591
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: he's got to rest ups a week and rest up

592
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: for the five months layoff. Tim Hardaway Jr. Left ankles soreness,

593
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: Maxi Kleiber right hamstring still recovering and Christian would rest.

594
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: All of those players missed Friday night's game against the Bulls,

595
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: and the only reason the MAVs didn't include Luca Doncich

596
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: on the list is because April seventh was Slovenian Night

597
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: at the American Airline Center in Dallas, which meant before

598
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: the game and MAVs coach j some Kid announced this

599
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: doche would play the first quarter so we can honor

600
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: his country. He said. The idea to rest the starters

601
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: was quote an organizational decision. Well, not to be outdone

602
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: the Bulls they sat some starters too. DeMar De Rosen

603
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: didn't play, Zach Lavine didn't play. All of a sudden,

604
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: it looked like a preseason game in April. Now again,

605
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: I know I'm repeating myself, but just so you get

606
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: the facts, ma'am. The Mavericks needed wins against the Bulls

607
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: on Friday, and they would have needed to beat the

608
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Spurs Sunday plus a lost by Oklahoma City against Memphis

609
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: to make the playing tournament very doable, very doable. I

610
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: would have expected that to happen if the MAVs wanted

611
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: it bad enough, and the MAVs led most of the game,

612
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: and then they had a shot at a couple three

613
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: pointers that would have sent the game into overtime and

614
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: didn't seem to hell been on wanting to make those

615
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: And in the history here's or this chaps meet. In

616
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: the history of the Dallas Mavericks, there have been worse seasons,

617
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: but this has its own special brandless stupidity because the

618
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: MAVs have gone from reaching the Western Conference Finals last

619
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: year to tanking in one year. The MAVs are thirty

620
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: eight and forty two. Yes they stink, now, they didn't

621
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: really in February when they weren't great. They have great defense.

622
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: To give up some assets, you think they'd like to

623
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: have Jalen Brunson backley, that the fans would. But if

624
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: you are telling me that the Dallas Mavericks are not

625
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: the most disappointing team in the National Basketball Association this season,

626
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: then you're not telling the truth. The MAVs they are

627
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: officially in lose out mode. That's going to protect what

628
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: they hope will be a top ten pick in the

629
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three NBA Draft coming up in June. See

630
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: if the MAVs finished outside the top ten, the pick

631
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: goes to the New York Knicks as the last play

632
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: a piece of the trade which they used to acquire

633
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: Chris Tops poor singers. Now, if you want to look

634
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: at the positive in all this, let's try to be

635
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: fair and objective and a season full of negatives, here's

636
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: the positive. Believe it or not. For you historians, the

637
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: last time the Mass tanked, we ended up acquiring Luca Dontchich.

638
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: I'll explain that was a bit of an expensive process,

639
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: but I think most Mass fans felt it was worth it.

640
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Back in February twenty eighteen, you may recall the NBA

641
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: fine Mark Cuban after he made comments in a podcast.

642
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: He went on Julius Irving's podcast and said, quote, I'm

643
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: probably not supposed to say this, but I just said,

644
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: dinner with a bunch of our guys the other night,

645
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: and here we are. We're not completing for the we're

646
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: not competing for the playoff. I was like, look, losing

647
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: is our best option. History repeats itself, dejevo all over again.

648
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: Yogi Adam Silver would not want to be hearing that,

649
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: but the situation at that point dictated that Cuban explained

650
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: it to him. They sat down, they explained it what

651
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: their plans were going to be that summer, that they're

652
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: not going to would never tank again. And this he

653
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban admitted to Adam Silver at the time, they've

654
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: been working on tanking for a year and a half.

655
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't like it. It It was kind of brutal. Cuban

656
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: was half right. He shouldn't have said that. That led

657
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: to Adam Silver finding Mark Cuban six hundred thousand dollars

658
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: for publicly admitting a reality that's become very common in

659
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: pro sports. Too many teams flush a season down the

660
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: toilet in order to secure that ever elusive high draft pick.

661
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: How often does it really work? Show me, tell him,

662
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: he show me, and I get it. Major League Baseball

663
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: teams to have done it as well. But in this case,

664
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen, you could say tanking worked. They

665
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: finished twenty four and fifty eighth. They had the fifth

666
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: pick with the twenty eighteen draft. Remember, Atlanta selected Don

667
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: Chitz with the third pick, but they traded him to

668
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: Dallas in exchange for their selection, which turned out to

669
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: betray Young plus some draft picks. But what happened with

670
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: the Mavericks this year is totally different that happened back

671
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: in twenty seven twenty eighteen. That team had nobody, including

672
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: a poor old Dirk Nowitzki who was sold at the

673
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: time as blood Pipe was discontinued. The current team has

674
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: done it. They had Kyrie Irving. When they picked up

675
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: Irving in early February, they figured the playoffs were given instead.

676
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: A season that was looking pretty good turned horrible, and

677
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden what was exposed was a poorly

678
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: built roster, which sort of led to the panic trade

679
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: of Irving. But the long and the short of it is,

680
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: we realize that Dallas needs more real players. They need

681
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: more real defenders, and they've got a backcourt that, I'll

682
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: be fair, have two guys who could score the ball

683
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: at will. They get off the bus and shoot Donchen

684
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Irving their breadth, taking offensive players. The team is still bad.

685
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: The defense is horrible and they don't rebound either. Other

686
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: than that, how was a play missus Lincoln. They're so

687
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: bad now they actually think tanking is better than the

688
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: play in and you heard Kevin's update. It's out there.

689
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: There's going to be an investigation. What the hell that means,

690
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll talk to Mark medine at the

691
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: top of the art. What are they going to slap

692
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: on the risk, give a fine. I don't think they're

693
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna lose draft picks. So Dallas may have tanked to

694
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. But if tanking really works, and even if

695
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: you get a transcendent player like Luka Doncich, why are

696
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: you doing it again five years later? And they did

697
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: it for the whole world of see in front of

698
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: God and everybody. This just leaves a bad taste in

699
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: my mouth. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

700
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Coming up two numbers, nine point nine million, one point

701
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: one million, or what is the significance? Well, I'll tell you.

Speaker 1: Medina Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider tremendous

714
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: him ont to impact the NBA season concludes Sunday. We'll

715
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: have our plan matchup set, We'll have the playoffs set,

716
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: looking forward to it this week. In a minute, I

717
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: will get to the significance of nine point nine million

718
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: and the significance of one point one million. But first

719
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: I want to also let you know later in the show, Yukon,

720
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to be giving you your flowers man in

721
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: a big way. This year's NCAA tournament will always be

722
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: remembered as the one where we thought every any team

723
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: had a chance to win any given game, right except

724
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: if you were playing Yukon, Fairley Dickinson, Pete Perdue. You

725
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: saw all the other teams go down. Yukon the first

726
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: men's team to ever win an NCAA championship by winning

727
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: six games by at least thirteen points. They puts them

728
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: in rarefied here. I mean, I know Michigan State when

729
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: every game by ten and ye year two thousand, Indiana

730
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: the Grade eighty one team with Isaiah Thomas. They won

731
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: every game by I think thirteen points, but they only

732
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: had to play five games instead of stake. We're gonna

733
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that in just a minute. Let's

734
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: also give the due to the great LSU Tigers women's

735
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: basketball team terriffic game against Iowa. This is incredible to me,

736
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: a staggering. This is a staggering number. We're talking about

737
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: women's basketball or college basketball. That championship game last Sunday

738
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: between LSU and Iowa, ESPN and US I think Tuesday

739
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: or Wednesday, nine point nine million people watched that game,

740
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: and I was one of them. I enjoyed it. Hell

741
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: of a contest. That is more than any women's college

742
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: basketball game ever. It's also more than nine of this

743
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: past seasons. I'll tay you what you want to really

744
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: put that in perspective. You know how much we love

745
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: NFL football. NFL football is king right, Okay, Well, we

746
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: watched Thursday Night Football, even though this last year was

747
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: a little different because it was on Amazon, but we

748
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: found our way there. The Sunday championship game between LSU

749
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: and Iowa had more viewers than nine of the Thursday

750
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: night football NFL games this past season. That is saying

751
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: something that is a major moment, that's a seminal event,

752
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: that is what you would really call a volcanic moment

753
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: for the sport. I really believe that. And the viewership number.

754
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: What it does when people hear that, It changes public perception,

755
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: it can change investment, it can change the way advertisers

756
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: look at it. It changes everything. And of course at

757
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: the end of the game, there was a there was

758
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: a different side story that erupted, which I'm not even

759
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna waste my time talking about tonight. And I still

760
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: think that the game itself will transcend what happened after

761
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: the game and the dialogue. And I thought the officiating

762
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: was poor, the game still transcends that what you saw

763
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: were two supremely well coached athletic teams. I have tremnis

764
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: respect for Kim Moulke. She's articulate, she's forthright. I think

765
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: she could coach any team on any level, men's or women's.

766
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: You know, I've always been a fan of Becky Hammond.

767
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: I've interviewed her. I've never met Kim Moulke. I will

768
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: say this, I think either one of them could coach

769
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I really believe that. Just listen to

770
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: them talk their knowledge of vexs and ohs there, you

771
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: know they understand the essence of the game. They're grasped

772
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: with the game beyond reproach. Congratulations. That quite a milestone event.

773
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm all about the story. That's what Dick Chap taught me.

774
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't root for teams, root for stories. Anthony Randon,

775
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't root for one point one million is the number.

776
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: I thought he would be suspended for twenty games. You've

777
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: heard me say it a hundred times. That was in

778
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: the middle of the alice at the Palace. I know

779
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: how spontaneous canyon can happen. It ruined the Indiana Pacers franchise,

780
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: set them back fifteen years. So when Anthony Rendon was

781
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: suspended only five games, initially there was a bit of

782
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: a guffa until I guess I start to realize by

783
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: the way, Rendon was also suspended last year for five

784
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: games for his part in a bench clearing brawl against

785
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners in June. But I digress and he

786
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: got it reduced to four games. What it you know?

787
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: So the original fine one million, one hundred and ninety thousand,

788
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy six dollars because Anthony rendon salary's

789
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: about thirty eight million a year and change. So for

790
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: grabbing in Oakland, a's fanned by the collar and calling

791
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: him the B word and mfer and get the f

792
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: out of here, that's going to cost him about a

793
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: million dollars. Understand there's an ongoing investigation with the incident,

794
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: but I don't know what that's going to entail, because

795
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: it's my understanding no victim ever contacted the Oakland Police Department,

796
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: So I don't know really what to say about that.

797
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: Be that as it may. Onward and upward. Anthony Rendona's

798
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: a million dollars later coming up. Mark Medina, Medina Magic,

813
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: I look forward to our conversations every week, but even

814
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: more so this week, Mark, how are you, buddy? I

815
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: am doing well? Is that the Clippers Blazers game where

816
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: the Blazers didn't really play any of their players? The

817
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: day after, the Mavericks didn't play any of their players.

818
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: So fun times in the NBA. Yeah, no, kidd, and

819
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: I get where you're going with that. So let's let's

820
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: start with the elephant in the room. Mark. On Tribruary six,

821
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: the Mavericks were a playoff team. They were the number

822
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: four seed, and what do we just witness a team

823
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: with Luca don Chich and Kyrie You're incompletely punted on

824
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: a chance in making the pullseason. There's tanking, and there's tanking,

825
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: but this one's really bothering. You met your thoughts. Yeah,

826
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: it's absolutely embarrassing. I mean, look, the Dallas Mavericks aren't

827
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: the first team to do this. They're not going to

828
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: be the last team to do this. And you look

829
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: specifically at this season. The Blazers are another example. But

830
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: I think what made this even more regiuses the Dallas

831
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Mavericks still had a chance to get into the Plan tournament.

832
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone was thinking, because of how disastrous

833
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: this season has been that they have a shot of

834
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: winning a championship or even being a playoff contender. But

835
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: if you have at least a chance to make the Plan,

836
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: you gotta continue to play your guys. You can't have

837
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: all these mass injuries quote unquote injuries, play Luca Dottrich

838
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: for only a quarter and then sit the mout so

839
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: they lose against the Chicago Bulls. And so as a result,

840
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: the NBA had no choice. You know, They're spokesperson Mike

841
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: Bass said that, you know, they commenced an investigation and

842
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: the facts and circumstances surrounding the Mavericks roster decisions in

843
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: game conduct with respect to the Bulls Mavericks game, including

844
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: the motivations behind those actions. But look, Bernie, we could

845
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: probably dissect the conclusion with this within a few minutes,

846
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: way quicker than the league did with commencing this investigation. Today,

847
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: the Mavericks are guilty and it's just embarrassing for the league.

848
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: Bad look, and they should be punished for it. That thought.

849
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back to that, Mark. Here's my beef.

850
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: Why do you go out and get Kyrie Irving in

851
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: the first place? If this is what you're gonna do

852
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: eight weeks later, what's the logic? Yeah, I have a

853
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: part of me to the question, but go ahead, Yeah, well,

854
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I think that clearly they didn't think

855
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: about this going in, but when they saw that, just

856
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 1: it's going to be a long haul to get into

857
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 1: the Plan's tournament, and you know, as far as winning

858
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: a game, they decide, you don't want let's just punt

859
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: and improve our lottery odds to roster build. But the

860
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: reality is this, Bernie, when you have a chance to

861
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: get in the Plan's tournament, it looks a lot better.

862
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: I think it sends a better message to someone like Lukadagach,

863
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: who you know, wants to see the Mavericks this offseason

864
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: improve their roster. I think it also sends a better

865
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: message to Kyrie Irving. And while there are questions about

866
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: whether it's even good to have Kyrie Irving long term

867
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: in the first place, you don't want to be seen

868
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: as a loser organization here, so that that's where it

869
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: didn't sit well with me at all. And I think

870
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: the subtext of this Bernie, I would to be surprised

871
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: if there was Mark Cuban's way of, you know, maybe

872
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: protesting to the league a little bit, and you know,

873
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: in flaming a little bit about their plans tournament and

874
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: Lou of the fact that the Nick and Lou, the

875
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: fact that the NBA only slapped the New York Knicks

876
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: with a dot second round pick for they're tampering with

877
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson. The reality is this Bernie, the Jalen Brunson's

878
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: departure had much more to do with the Mavericks failure

879
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: to sign him to an extension than did with any tamper.

880
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: And that's not to say it didn't exist with his

881
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: father being part of the organization. But if the Mavericks

882
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: are much more proactive with retaining them, they wouldn't have

883
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: gotten this predictam in the first place, Tycholan, Mark Mndina

884
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: our Fox Sports Radio NBA in Satis. So here's my

885
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: part B And by the way, I'm not personalizing this.

886
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: I actually interviewed Mark Cuban November nineteen, two thousand and

887
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: five and his war room in Dallas. I love the guys,

888
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: He's a good dude, but I don't like what he

889
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: did here. And I know you remember all too well. Mark.

890
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: Back in February twenty eighteen, when Cuban made the comments

891
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: on Julius Erving's podcast about tanking, that guy him find

892
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars. But it also got him Luca Dontech.

893
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: But if tanking we're so great, why is he tanking

894
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: again five years later? What is Cuban thinking? Yeah? I mean, look,

895
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: it did work with Saint Luca Dotris, but at some

896
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: point you have to build a better roster. And look,

897
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: I do credit Mark Gibbet. He is one of the

898
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: better owners in the league. He's willing to spend, he

899
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: cares about the team. There is a passion the fact

900
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: that he's quotable. It's good for the league because it

901
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: gets guys like us writing stories. It gets the fans involved.

902
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: But even though they are willing to win, they have

903
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: to really evaluate their decision making process. I mean, look,

904
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: they've really struck out with you know, getting guys like

905
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: Chris Osporzingis and trading for him. He wound up having injuries,

906
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: didn't co exist. Well. If Luca Dodgers Shalen Brunson, you know,

907
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: he may not have been the same player as he

908
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: was in New York because you know, lucas star powered.

909
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: He needs to have the ball in his hands a lot,

910
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 1: and he has a heavy workload. But you've got to

911
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: be willing to spend when you see potential chemistry. And

912
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: I think the other problem is this Burnie. They do

913
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: show a willingness to spend, but there's a lot of

914
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: skepticism around the league that when the Mavericks do have

915
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: cap space, do they spend it wisely? And I think

916
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: that that is something to look at this off season.

917
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, the Mavericks are of interest

918
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: in keeping Kyrie verna long term deal. I don't think

919
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: Kyrie everone wants to stay either, So there is an

920
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for them to build a roster because ill have

921
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: cap space but there is a wonderment will they use

922
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: it wisely around the NBA, And you know, so far

923
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: do they haven't had a good track record. With a

924
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: final thought on the Mavericks, I'm hearing whispers that there's

925
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: a chance Luca don Chis may ask out, and I

926
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: think it's going to give it one more season, but

927
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have that looming over their head. Now what

928
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: are you hearing about that? If anything? Yeah, I haven't

929
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: heard yet that Luca dontech wants to get out, but

930
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: he's certainly disappointed. It goes that thing he wants to win,

931
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: and he's certainly I've been told in this waiting CE

932
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: mode this off season, will the Bavericks build the right

933
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: roster around him so he has the necessary help he needs.

934
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Bernie, he was considered in that MVP conversation

935
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: earlier in the season because he was posting up triple

936
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: doubles and just carrying the team. And you know, I

937
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: think there were guys like Christian Wood, Tim Hardaway Junior

938
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: that worre success stories Maxi kleeber These guys aren't scrub players.

939
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: They're good role players, but you need much more than

940
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: that to win in the NBA and much more than

941
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: that to surround Luca with the necessary talents so this

942
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: burden isn't just on him, and he's playing all these minutes,

943
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: and so I think he's going to be in that

944
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: waiting c Moode. And look, lucas I've been told, is

945
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: going to train a lot this summer to make sure

946
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: that he's in tip top shape and he's ready for

947
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: next season. So as much as he might need a

948
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: BREA recharge because of his heavy workload, he's going to

949
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: get after it this summer and he'll expect the Mavericks

950
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: for ant office to do the same. Yeah. No, I

951
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: think you'll give him one more year. But I think

952
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: you have that looming in. Let's face it, the Mavericks,

953
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: you're really close to winning. All they need are defensive

954
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: rebounding Mark, That's it, just defensive rebounding. Yeah, and look,

955
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: I think that that's a lot of things to fill, right,

956
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: be facetious, Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean they also need shooting,

957
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: they need everything besides having a generational talent like Luca,

958
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: And I think that here is an opportunity. They do

959
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: have cap space, but here is a problem. They need

960
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: to have a definitive second star, not a superstar, but

961
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: an all star that can compliment Luca Dodgers. But how

962
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: do they also have the depth so they're great defensively,

963
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: so they have good role players. And that illustrates what

964
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: happened this past half of the season. After the trade headline.

965
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: They gave up some of their depth to get someone

966
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: like Kyrie Irving because they thought, look, they can really

967
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: work well offensively and they just didn't have enough reps.

968
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: I think, in fairness to Kyrie, he did come with

969
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: the right intentions. I've been told that he was a

970
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: positive locker room presence, but I think the reality is this,

971
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: even when you take that into account, usually star players

972
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: can at least overcome some of those deficiencies so that

973
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: they can still play well. Kyrie didn't always play well.

974
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: They didn't have the chemistry of Luca. But at the

975
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: end of the day, this really points to the top

976
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: with how they constructed the roster, and so they need

977
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: to address the summer or to your point, eventually, Lucas

978
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: patients were well worth in. For me, one of the

979
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: most the subtext to this story that's the most delicious

980
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: is Kyrie's old team. Their book a Nets made the playoffs,

981
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: not the playing game actually made the playoffs. At Kyrie

982
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: was okay, But when you have two bull dominant players

983
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: like that, they don't play a lot of defense. That's

984
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: not a mix. Which leads me to going to find

985
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: Kyrie question, what's the market for him in twenty three,

986
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: twenty four? Who would break the bank for this kN alcohol? Well, look,

987
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: there's only it's a team that's willing to roll the dice.

988
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,959
Speaker 1: The Mavericks are the latest one and all it takes

989
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: is one. But you know that most obvious potential landing

990
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: spot the Lakers. I think that they're like, you know what,

991
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: we're good. Look what they did during the trade deadline

992
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: with getting D'Angel Russell Beasley Jared Vanderbilt. Since the trade deadline,

993
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: it's been both additioned by subtraction with the Russell Westbrook

994
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 1: fit and not working out for both sides. And it's

995
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: also been about, hey, they added good positional needs with

996
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: better shooting, better offensive dynamics, better defense. And I think

997
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: when you look at the second half of the season,

998
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: the Lakers are one of the best teams in the

999
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: Western Conference. They're only fighting to get into the playoffs.

1000
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: As a sixth seed or secure play positioning because their

1001
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: record was awful before the trade deadline. So I think

1002
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: as it pertains the next season, the Lakers are thinking,

1003
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 1: let's run this back. If you have a full season,

1004
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: they can really make some serious runway, assuming of course,

1005
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: that Lebron James and Anthony Davis are healthy. But I

1006
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: think that they've shown this last month that you know what,

1007
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: discount them at your own peril, So it will be

1008
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: an interesting playoff, to say the least for them. I

1009
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: appreciate your opinion. I'm a doubting Thomas. I think they

1010
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: can shoot themselves in the foot at any minute. I

1011
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: do expect the Lakers to handle Utah fairly easily. Sunday,

1012
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: I've already given all the one if scenarios earlier in

1013
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: the show, so we don't need to go through all

1014
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: that minutia. Let's talk about the Lakers. I expect him

1015
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: to play to the Pelicans of the Timberwolves in the

1016
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: first round. If you're a Lakers fan, who would you

1017
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: rather see him play? Yeah, that's a good question. I mean,

1018
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: I think that the Lakers champion choosers because of how

1019
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: vulnerable they are. But I think if there was the

1020
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: most ideal scenario, they get to the sixth seeds, so

1021
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: they avoid the Plans Tournament and they face the Sacramento Kings.

1022
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: And that's not to say that the Kings are scrub team.

1023
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: They're real deal, well coached by Mike Brown. He knows

1024
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: a thing or two about scheming against Lebron James because

1025
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: he coached him in Cleveland. They have one of the

1026
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: best offenses in the NBA. But you know what, ironically enough,

1027
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: under Mike Brown coach team, they don't play well defensively

1028
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: because of the team's personnel and the regular season they

1029
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: showed wasn't a big deal. I think much different story

1030
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. As much as the Kings, they're not

1031
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: afraid of the moment, but they're not experiencing the playoffs

1032
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: or the Lakers are. So I think that's the most

1033
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: ideal scenario. But you know, I think at the end

1034
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: of the day, it's gonna matter much more for the Lakers.

1035
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: How healthy or Lebron and Nadia and how well can

1036
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 1: they stay, you know, stay locked in in a seven

1037
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: game series. I think you saw in this past week

1038
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: they played really good basketball, but a little bit of

1039
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: that attrition caught up to them and that loss against

1040
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: the Clippers because of fatigue. You wonder in the playoffs,

1041
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: even with you know, days in between games and time

1042
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: to prepare, could that catch up to the Lakers. You

1043
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: never discount that because of the injuries they've had, But

1044
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: as to this point, that are as healthy as it

1045
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: can do. That's a great point. I'm watching that closely.

1046
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: With respect to the Lakers ending up in the number

1047
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: six slot, that would require Portland beating Golden State Sunny.

1048
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't just don't feel like that's in the cards, Mark,

1049
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: So I think the Lakers are going to end up

1050
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: at the seventh seed regardless of whether it's Minnesota or Portland.

1051
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: Let's give them the benefit of the doubt sea they win,

1052
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: although I think Minnesota would be everything the Lakers could handle,

1053
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: and if Design was healthy, they would be too. But yeah,

1054
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: that would mean they would play Memphis in the first round.

1055
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about a series like that? Well,

1056
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll break down the plan and no doubt Minnesota or

1057
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 1: no doubt that New Orleans is more ideal because Zion's

1058
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: not playing the play in Minnesota young team, they're flawed

1059
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: with giving up so much fruity Golbert, but Anthony Edwards

1060
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: all it takes us for him to have a really

1061
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: great night to upset the Lakers. As far as the

1062
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: Grizzlies go, I think that they're better than the Kings

1063
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: because they're more experience. I think that they like to

1064
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: get into it. They're scrappy, they're their defensive orient they

1065
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: have a lot of depth. John Moran is trying to

1066
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: get back in the speed at so I think the

1067
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: Lakers could upset the Grizzlies, not just because of the

1068
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: reasons I mentioned, but the Grizzlies just get so consumed

1069
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: with the extracurricular and then you know what talking and

1070
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think Dylan Brooks in particular, he showed

1071
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: some bush league moves in the last year, like that

1072
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: Gary Peyton hartfoul against the Warriors, and he's just been

1073
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: so consumed with trying to trash talk guys. I think

1074
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: that that could distract the Grizzlies a little bit. Be

1075
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: you know what, they're young, they get up and down

1076
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: the floor. Then they're not afraid. It would be a

1077
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: heavy haul for the Lakers to keep up with them.

1078
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: But I think that their experience could also help them

1079
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: in the long run, so it would be a compelling series.

1080
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: Could go seven Flip a coin, Yeah, it's a coin,

1081
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: flipid best. Mark great Stuff is always next week. I

1082
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: would like to follow up on this. I see this

1083
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: in air quotes. Investigation involving the Mavericks is what I'm

1084
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: alluded to. Of course, what are they gonna do? I mean,

1085
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: maybe you fine, not going to take away draft picks

1086
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: even if they're guilty. What's going to happen? I think

1087
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: the investigation will confirm what we already know. The Mavericks

1088
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 1: are guilty, but the punishment will be slap on the

1089
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: rest of fine and move on. I mean, that's that's

1090
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: how the NBA has done these investigations, and I want

1091
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: to expect anything to change. He's Mark Medina, our Fox

1092

00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,600

1098
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: any game, who's not, and who are in the playoffs.

1099
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: And I look forward to it this week. Even though

1100
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 1: Lebron wants the guy who came up with the playing

1101
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: concept fired, I want the guy to get a raise.

1102
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:48,880

1128
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: It's been in your updates. You know about the investigation

1129
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: from a broadcasting standpoint, from a fan standpoint, any standpoint

1130
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: you want. How do you feel about what the Mavericks

1131
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: did so blatantly? I mean, I don't know what there

1132
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: is really to investigate. I mean for as blatant as

1133
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, as a fan, I understand wanting

1134
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: to possibly keep that draft pick being top ten protected,

1135
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's not guaranteed that they'll

1136
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: fall in to that top ten range in order to

1137
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: keep that draft pick in. At the end of the day,

1138
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: if you have a chance to win a championship, you

1139
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: push for it. You push for it, and with the

1140
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: tandem of Kyrie Irving and Luca Dontage, I know they

1141
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: didn't play well down the stretch, but I mean those

1142
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: are two talented players. I mean, if you were in

1143
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: position for a championship, go for it. I Mean it's

1144
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: one thing if you're out of contention in January and

1145
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: you're just playing out the string and you're losing on

1146
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: purpose in a more subtle way to get the best

1147
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: draft pick possible. But when you're giving up a chance

1148
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: for a championship, I think that's crossing a line right there. Patrick,

1149
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts, Yeah, I'm very much not a fan of them,

1150
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, tanking on that last game just to get

1151
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: the pick, which I get, I understand the pick, you know,

1152
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: trying to get like, you know, a top top prospect

1153
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: or even say go up and get a top three pick.

1154
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: But you have Luca Donsach and he's trying his heart

1155
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: is just to you know, kind of you know, win,

1156
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: make a legacy, and he's young, and doing that's just

1157
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna make him even more mad and probably and this

1158
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,439
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be the undoing and drive him away

1159
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: and potentially, so I think that's a just absolutely dumb

1160
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: move that they did. So here's the reality, because I

1161
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: strongly believe the Mavericks committed to cardinal sin by losing

1162
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: on purpose in the hopes of a better tomorrow, by

1163
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: trying to thread the needle and perhaps steve a door

1164
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: draft pick you may never even get. So here's the reality.

1165
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: The tenth worst record means the Mavericks have about a

1166
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: sixty five percent chance of getting pick ten and about

1167
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: a thirteen percent chance and moving into the top four.

1168
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: It means you have an eighty seven percent chance of

1169
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: this really not working moving into the top four. But

1170
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: if the MAVs would have just simply one, they would

1171
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: have claimed the eleventh spot. They would have only been

1172
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: playing against the long odds of winning the top four

1173
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: in the lotteries. What does that mean? It's a no brainer.

1174
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: This is stupid. You play to win the game. You've

1175
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: got the Kyrie Irving era which is going to end

1176
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: in a whimper. And listen, the MAVs were a legit

1177
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: playoff team back in February sixth. Then they bring in

1178
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. It should have been a no brainer. They

1179
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. We all know the old anything can

1180
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: happen air quotes playoff argument, and we know that the

1181
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: MAVs don't play a hell of a lot of defense,

1182
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: and the MAVs weren't going to get the issues weren't

1183
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: going to get fixed with their current roster. But but

1184
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, and Phara, I try to

1185
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: tell the whole story. There are people who don't agree

1186
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: with me. They feel that playing simply for an appearance

1187
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: in the playing tournament, that's just not enough. It was

1188
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: not enough to the Maverage front office. They issued the

1189
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: tank edict because Jason Kiddon's staff, they saw the product

1190
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: they had on the floor. They saw the roster was

1191
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: poorly constructed, really had no real chance of getting to

1192
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: the finals or maybe even winning a playoff series. But

1193
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: what's the message you send to your fans. This is

1194
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: embarrassing to lose a game on purpose when you still

1195
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: have a chance at the end of the year to

1196
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs or the playing game, which is

1197
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: technically the playoffs. It might have been opinion if the MAVs,

1198
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, if they could have just forfeited the contest

1199
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: in advancing, given the fans back their money, maybe that

1200
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 1: would be ethical. But the fans got cheated. They genuinely

1201
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: got cheated out of an honest competition. I can't justify that,

1202
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: especially when tanking. In my view, I have to be

1203
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: shown a hell of a lot of evidence showing me

1204
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: where it really works. I mean, I'm not accusing the

1205
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Pistons of tanking. They're a proud franchise or like sixteen

1206
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: and sixty four going into Friday Night. Man, they've had

1207
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: top draft picks for years. What are they've done with them?

1208
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: And the truth of the matter is, I just think

1209
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: there's an integrity of the game aspect about this. In

1210
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: the NBA, I realize people argue every game should be

1211
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: treated with the same desire to win. The first important

1212
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: games should be just as important as the last game,

1213
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: should be important as the playoffs, whatever. And I also

1214
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: understand that tanking is a concept that is prevalent in

1215
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: other sports. But this was so blatant at the end,

1216
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: and this was a situation where it just fell off

1217
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: a cliff so suddenly in the last what six to

1218
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: eight weeks that if you're a Dallas Mavericks fan, and

1219
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: again Mark Cuban, who I think is a good guy,

1220
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: one of the better owners, has a body at work

1221
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: now he did this in twenty eighteen. That's how they

1222
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,439
Speaker 1: got Luca. So if this tanking thing works, am good,

1223
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: why are they so quick to do it so soon

1224
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: five years later? This is going to be interesting to watch.

1225
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: I think the investigation will be a big nothing. They'll

1226
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: get a fine. Whatever it is will amount to pocket

1227
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: change for Cuban. And now we'll watch the draft and

1228
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: we'll watch who the Mavericks get and find out does

1229
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: this work heading in the next year and what can

1230
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: they do to put pieces parts around Luca they can

1231
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: defend and rebound and even some complimentary shooters. I don't

1232
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: think Kyrie will be back. I don't know where they

1233
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: want them back. And you can play all that poorly,

1234
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: but come on, everywhere Kyrie goes, the team gets worst.

1235
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: He's gone from Cleveland, they're in the playoffs. He's gone

1236
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: from Boston, they're in the playoffs. He's gone from Brooklyn,

1237
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs. He goes to Dallas. Not so much.

1238
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: You get the drill coming up. The Yukon Huskies one

1239
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 1: for the ages. Are they a blue blood? I'm gonna

1240
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: give you my opinion, but first let's go back to

1241
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: our guy, Kevin Wyatt with the Ladies. Yeah. Speaking of

1242
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks, the NBA is saying they will investigate

1243
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: them four setting players in Friday night's game, and then

1244
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: of course they lost in the himself from playoff contention.

1245
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't see what there is really to investigate, seeing

1246
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: if how blatant it was and what they were doing,

1247
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: but the NBA at least launching the formal process. The

1248
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: regular season will end on Sunday, and with the Clippers

1249
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: beating the Trailblazers on Saturday final scoring that one six

1250
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: one twenty five, would that win, they avoid the play

1251
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: in tournament with a win against the Suns in Sunday's finale.

1252
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: The third round of the Masters. Once again, the tournament

1253
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,479
Speaker 1: has been suspended by inclement weather. They'll continue the third

1254
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: round Sunday morning, and then the final round will continue

1255
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: as soon as the third round is finished. Brooks kfcut

1256
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: at thirteen under a four stroke lead over John Rom

1257
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. He made the cut for the twenty third

1258
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: straight time that he has appeared in the Masters. That

1259
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: is a record. He just barely made the cut, but

1260
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: he is in the weekend at nine over par. Justin

1261
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: Thomas missing the cut Florida Atlantic with their final four run,

1262
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: giving head coach Dusky May a ten year extension. In

1263
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: the Frozen four, it's Quinnipiac capturing the nca Double A

1264
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: men's hockey title after they beat top seeded Minnesota three

1265
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: two on an overtime goal. Major League Baseball, the diamond

1266
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: Backs trail the Dodgers four nothing in the first inning,

1267
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: but they come from behind to beat Los Angeles twelve

1268
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: to eight. However, the diamond Backs they're starting pitcher Zach

1269
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Davies left with a strained oblique San Diego, they beat

1270
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: the Braves four one. Washington holds on seven six. At Colorado,

1271
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: the Yankees beat the Orioles four to one. The Rays

1272
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: they're eight no, they haven't lost yet, shut out the

1273
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: A's eleven and nothing. Boston beats Detroit fourteen five. The

1274
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,959
Speaker 1: Cubs beat the Rangers ten to three, and the Rangers

1275
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: did themselves no favors in that game. They committed five errors.

1276
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Phillies scored three runs in the ninth to beat the

1277
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: Reds three to two. The Royals scored a run on

1278
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: a wild on a run in the wild run on

1279
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: a wild pitch in the ninth and one, six to five.

1280
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: At San Francisco. The Bets beat Miami five to two

1281
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: of Pete Alonzo hitting its fifth home run of the season.

1282
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: The Angels, led by Mike Trout with a three run

1283
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: home run, beat the Blue Jays nine to five. Back

1284
01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: over you burning, all right, Kevin, props to the Yukon Huskies.

1285
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if any of you guys

1286
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: sell the movie eighty for Brady. I have not, but

1287
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: I think I might. One of the actresses is in

1288
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: that movie is a lady by the name of Lily Tomblin.

1289
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: She said, quite a career. She once said, You know,

1290
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: I always wanted to beat somebody. I just wish I

1291
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: had been more specific. The truth of the matter is

1292
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: who are Yukon Huskies? Are they a blue blood? What

1293
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: is the blue blood definition? And if someone is a

1294
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: blue blood, do you just simply have a god given

1295
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: right to be a blue blood for eternity? In college basketball?

1296
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Why do I say that? Because you always hear the

1297
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: usual suspects Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Ucla. They're

1298
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: probably the college basketball teams that are most often associated

1299
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: with the term quote blue blood, But more now than ever,

1300
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: there's been an ongoing debate about who deserving blue bloods

1301
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: are and what blue blood actually means. Now, the term

1302
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: itself is no mystery. According to the NCAA, the first

1303
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: reference of the term blue blood was done in a

1304
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: Brooklyn newspaper clear back in nineteen twenty seven, and it

1305
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: was copied and used in other publications throughout the decades.

1306
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: And what it would the idea behind the concept of

1307
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: referring to a college basketball program is quote a blue blood,

1308
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 1: is that it puts you in that rarefied air. You

1309
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: are characterized as being an elite class of the college

1310
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: basketball programs, an elite class. Now, there's really no concrete

1311
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: history for the current definition of the term or how

1312
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: it's applied at the current application of blue blood, or

1313
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: is there really any consensus anymore on which teams are

1314
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: blue bloods. Hence the arguments, because even though you've now

1315
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: gone through decades of frankly national irrelevance over the last

1316
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: twenty years for blue bloods like Indiana and UCLA, they're

1317
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: still considered blue bloods. No, I'm not saying they shouldn't be,

1318
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: but it's become sort of a lifetime achievement award. Indiana

1319
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: was their last championship, I believe was nineteen eighty seven

1320
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: when Keith Smart hit that shot against Syracuse. UCLA's last

1321
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: champion believe was ninety five with Jim Herrick's a long time.

1322
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: They're still considered blue bloods. The Bruins, for instance, now

1323
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: they have won three more national championships they won a

1324
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: total of eleven, then the next closest team, which is Kentucky,

1325
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: but like I said, Bruins haven't won one since nineteen

1326
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 1: ninety five. There's even a wider agreement on the other

1327
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: four teams throwing Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and Kentucky throw

1328
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: automatically blue bloods in March Madness, even though let's take

1329
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: a look at what they did in this most recent tournament.

1330
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: North Carolina, well, hell, they missed the tournament for the

1331
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: first time since twenty ten, and this is after they

1332
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: won it all last year. That's hard to do. Well,

1333
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's not so hard to do, but they did it.

1334
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: It's never been done before. Duke lost in the second round,

1335
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: Indiana lost in the second round. Kansas in Kentucky both

1336
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: lost in the second round. Ucla lost in the sweet sixteen.

1337
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: So these traditional blue bloods North Carolina, Duke Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,

1338
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: and Ucla. None of them even got pasted in Sweet sixteen,

1339
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: yet they are still considered blue bloods. North Carolina didn't

1340
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: even make the tournament. They turned down an NIT bid,

1341
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: but too proud for that. That's that's your choice. So

1342
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: now with Yukon heading into the final four, there was

1343
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: a debate. This is a team heading into this year

1344
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: that had won four championships since nineteen ninety nine. It

1345
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: was debatable now is Yukon was Yukon? Is Yukon a

1346
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: blue blood? I don't think it's debatable anymore. I think

1347
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: it's undeniable. Yukon now has as many national championships as

1348
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Duke in Indiana blue bloods. Yukon has more national championships

1349
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: than Kansas, Villanova, and Louisville, all premier programs. By the way,

1350
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: I bet you didn't know this. The Huskies are only

1351
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: the fifteam in the history of the tournament to not

1352
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: only win all of their tournament games, but when all

1353
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: of them by at least thirteen points. The last team

1354
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: to do this forty two years ago, Isaiah Thomas Bobby Knight,

1355
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 1: Indiana at nineteen eighty one. They won all their games

1356
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: by thirteen, but they only had to win five games,

1357
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: not six. Overall, the Huskies had a plus one twenty

1358
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: tournament point differential, which is as good as you're ever

1359
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: going to find good for fourth of all time, and

1360
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: just to get that respective, I covered the two thousand

1361
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: Michigan State team tom Izzo. That was the Mateam Cleaves

1362
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: team Molle Peterson. They beat a very good Florida team

1363
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: in the finals with Teddy Dupe and Mike Miller and

1364
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: Udonna Saslm. That was a hell of a tournament. Michigan

1365
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: State won all their games by ten points or more,

1366
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 1: but Yukon won there's by thirteen regardless. I'm just putting

1367
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: them in the rarefied air when you do something in

1368
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: this nature. It's hard enough to win six straight games

1369
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: in a do or die situation one undone, win or

1370
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: go home, but to win them all and dominate the

1371
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 1: way they did. Look Gonzaga, I say what you will

1372
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 1: about Gonzaga. They had the number one offense in the country.

1373
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: Yukon beat them by twenty eight, by the way, not

1374
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: for nothing, Yukon the seventh team in history to win

1375
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: it all after they started the season unranked. You heard

1376
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:57,759
Speaker 1: that unranked, by the way, the first since Yukon Huskies

1377
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: also did it with Kemba Walker back in twenty eleven,

1378
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: and they started that season un ranked, and if you recall,

1379
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: they had to win like six seven straight Big East

1380
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: Tournament games before they got into the actual tournament, and

1381
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: they'd beat Butler in that defense is struggle. In twenty eleven,

1382
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: blue bloods uc has got eleven, Kentucky's got eight, North

1383
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: Carolina's got six. Those are the only programs and the

1384
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: entirety of college basketball that have more titles than the

1385
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: Yukon Huskies, who now have five. By the way, for

1386
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: your Yukon fans, are you innocent bystanders, Ukon's only been

1387
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: to the title game five times. Yukon is a perfect

1388
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 1: five and oh entitled games. That's the most wins without

1389
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: a loss of any program. Are the Yukon Huskies a

1390
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: blue blood? You tell me? I see, yes, coming up.

1391
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot about the pitch clock. We heard

1392
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot about you know, the baseball rules, which we're

1393
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:04,760
Speaker 1: going to get to a little bit later. We've got

1394
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: real data now, but believe it or not, the pitch

1395
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: clock is also having a byproduct on technology in the

1396
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: game of baseball. I'll share with you what's happening there.

1397
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: It's a little wacky, it's a little weird. It's a

1398
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 1: little George Jetson. If you get my drift, there's a

1399
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: reference for you. Look it up. If you don't know

1400
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: baseball on technology. It's no longer baseball hot dogs and

1401
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: apple pie. It's baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and technology.

1402
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: I'll explain what's going on thanks to the pitch clock.

1403
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Fradiwork coming to your line from the Las

01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: in Mission Viejo, California. Great Tennis player Division one Tennis

1410
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: players show, kick your butt, no joke. All right, Linda,

1411
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: have a good Sunday, have a good Easter Sunday. All right.

1412
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: The baseball pitch clock has been all the rage, and

1413
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: we know why offense is up. People are stealing bases.

1414
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: Not only are stolen bases attempts up, but the successes up.

1415
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: The link to games down to two hours and thirty

1416
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: eight minutes. And so it's all been to the good, right,

1417
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: But as you know, one thing leads to another, and

1418
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: another thing leads to another. And now you have this

1419
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: thing called pitch com. Well what is PitchCom? So PitchCom

1420
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 1: is the byproduct of the pitch clock, which is doing

1421
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: a lot more than just speeding up at bats. In

1422
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: some cases, it's actually changing how pitches are selected. I

1423
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: will explain. PitchCom was a device that was introduced last

1424
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: season and allows catchers to electronically call pitchers in an

1425
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: effort to combat sign stealing. Now it can be used

1426
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: by pitchers too. We talked about this last night on

1427
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: my show with Larry Sorenson, tenure major league pitcher. I

1428
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: told him I wasn't real fond of it. He's cool

1429
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: with it because the game evolves. But I have always

1430
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: believed that baseball is a thinking man's game. All Right,

1431
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm basically a simple guy. Seriously, I mean, last night

1432
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: of Hell, I had a lunchables for dinner, and I'm

1433
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: simple in terms of how I conduct my life right.

1434
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: He typically will never see me go to a drive through.

1435
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: Why because all I want to do is to get

1436
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: my happy meal and hit the road quickly. But it

1437
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: never fails. I'm always behind somebody who's ordering dinner for

1438
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: the fifth fleet, and then they pay with the spirit

1439
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: change from their piggy bank, and I'm stuck there waiting.

1440
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: I never go to ATM machines because every time I go,

1441
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 1: I just want to get my two hundred bucks beyond

1442
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: my way quickly. Never fails. I'm always stuck by somebody

1443
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: who's trying to orchestrate a leverage bank buy out on

1444
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: an ATM machine. I do my best to avoid these situations.

1445
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes I lose focus. Baseball's a thinking man's game. When

1446
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: you add this kind of technology, it levels the playing

1447
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: field a little bit. Sign stealing is legal as long

1448
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: as you don't do it electronically. By the way, the

1449
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: natural tension in the middle of a game. Now you've

1450
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: got the pitch clock where the pitcher and catcher aren't

1451
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: always on the same page. I don't need the defense.

1452
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: And you're affected by the crowd, or you're affected by

1453
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: a base runner that's bothering the defense. These are things

1454
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 1: you have to adjust to. But now you've got this

1455
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: wristband device. It's got buttons for different pitch types and locations.

1456
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 1: You press your button, it's almost like going on your

1457
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: app and ordering food from door dash for crying out lout,

1458
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: and then you press it. It relays a call to

1459
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: the receiver. You've got an airpiece worn by up to

1460
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: five defensive teammates. Last year you had a situation, the

1461
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: catcher would make the call, the pitcher would receive it.

1462
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: You'd either shake off the pitch or gear up to

1463
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: throw it. This season, the pitcher can make the call,

1464
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 1: which you know, the powers to be in Major League Baseball.

1465
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,560
Speaker 1: The necessary change, they believe is evident because of the

1466
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: advent of the pitch clock, because now this gives pictures

1467
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: less time to shake off signs. I get it. You

1468
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: want to speed the game up. Okay, add the technology.

1469
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: The pitcher can call their own game. You're not wasting

1470
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: time shaking off signs. That way, there's less pitch violations,

1471
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: which their benefit. And so I understand the ideology. I

1472
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 1: understand the concept. A little bit of intrigue here for

1473
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: decades catcher's always called made this well, you call them

1474
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: a suggestion. The pitcher can shake you off, right, But

1475
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, baseball has been played for you know, one

1476
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years on the major league levels, you know,

1477
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: youth level, high school, college, in college. Usually the pitching

1478
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:04,719
Speaker 1: coach calls the pitches. But it's always been the catchers

1479
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: making the call. And then pitchers, you know, they'll shake

1480
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: you off or they'll accept your call, but the catcher

1481
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: makes the call. Ah, But that's changing. Takes Shohio Tani

1482
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 1: and his very first start. He wore the device and

1483
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: he was so fast he would call his pitch. The

1484
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: catcher would know, he'd get the signal in his ear.

1485
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: Was he Shohio Tany was going so fast he was

1486
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: actually issued a warning for pitching before the batter was set. Now,

1487
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: back in the day, we call that quick pitching. Got

1488
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, umpire usually fairly friendly to the batter. But

1489
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: you get one foot in the box and if you

1490
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: feel around too much and the umpire says, play ball.

1491
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: Pitcher can throw the ball, quick pitch, Get the ball,

1492
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: quick pitch before you're ready. That's not legal. Leader. Now,

1493
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: this takes quick pitching to a new level because you

1494
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: have a pitch clock. Imagine that pitchers were worried about

1495
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: making a pitch, you know, not under the deadline and

1496
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: having a ball call against them because they didn't get

1497
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: a pitch out within eighteen seconds. Now they're doing it

1498
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: so fast. So what happened was Otani he wore the

1499
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: device under his sleeve. It's near his armpit instead of

1500
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: on his wrist or his forearm, and he memorized the keypad.

1501
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 1: Smart guy, he told your baseballs would thinking man's game.

1502
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: So now you gotta show here Tony with the stuff

1503
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: he's got, he can call his own pictures and work

1504
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: fast through strikes. Here's the big picture. The pitch clock

1505
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,759
Speaker 1: is really working as intended. Games so far are twenty

1506
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: eight minutes shorter than last season, and it's now it's

1507
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: creating an additional game within the game. This is kind

1508
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 1: of a novelty. So what's going to happen next? Who's

1509
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: going to work to game the system? I think pictures

1510
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: will continue to test the limits. Even Roger Clemens, who

1511
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about pitching, he believes that

1512
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: you could see pitchers intentionally commit clock violations to get

1513
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: an upper hand, meaning they're going to throw the ball

1514
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: before they're supposed to. It's the pitcher off guard any

1515
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 1: way you slice it. The pitch clock is working, and

1516
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: now you have this pitch timer, it's called pitch com

1517
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: Pitchers are calling their own games. They're worrying technology. The

1518
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: defensive players can hear him. The catcher, you know, he's

1519
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,560
Speaker 1: got a signal in this year. Too much technology for

1520
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: my blood. But the main goal the pitch clock was

1521
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: to cut down on the length of games, and it's

1522
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: really working. Fans. There's more action, there's more balls put

1523
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: in play. They like it. Last year, the average length

1524
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: of all games two hours and thirty eight minutes. But no,

1525
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: that's this year out two hours and thirty eight minutes.

1526
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: Last year the average was three hours and three minutes.

1527
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,679
Speaker 1: Actually got his high as three hours and ten minutes

1528
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. So you've got a situation now

1529
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: where the average game is half an hour less than

1530
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: it was two years ago. And the Astros have played

1531
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: the longest games this season because of their offense. But

1532
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins actually had a game last week. Sandy

1533
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: el Kantara through a complete game shot at against the

1534
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: Twins an hour and fifty seven minutes. That's only happened

1535
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 1: six times in the last ten years where a game

1536
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: was under two hours. The times they are changing, Baseball

1537
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,719
Speaker 1: is changing right along with it. Coming up Aaron Rodgers

1538
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers. What's happening? What's next? We've

1539
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: got the timeline and some specific baits. Keep it locked.

1540
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bernie Fraudle Show on Fox Sports

1556
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: As we sit here today on April ninth, Aaron Rodgers

1557
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: is still a Green Bay Packer, even though remember he

1558
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: said he wanted to play for the Jets in the

1559
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season on the Pat McAfee show a

1560
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: few weeks back. And I think most folks believe that's

1561
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: going to happen. There is a standoff, it's going to

1562
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,440
Speaker 1: last a little longer. I believe Yahoo Sports Charles Robinson,

1563
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's very respected, he reports he thinks that

1564
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: Jets and Packers are getting closer. I think there's some

1565
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 1: real stiff negotiations going on between the two sides, primarily

1566
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: over draft pick compensation. So it turns out the Jets

1567
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: are reportedly willing to part with a couple of high

1568
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: draft picks for Rogers. Looks like it would be a

1569
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: second round pick maybe this year and a potential for

1570
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: a round pick in twenty twenty four. The keyword with

1571
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four pick is potential, because I think

1572
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 1: the Jets are hoping to tie the conditions to the

1573
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: pick that would protect them in case they don't make

1574
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs or Rogers retires after one season. So this

1575
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: is a complex to you, with a lot of moving parts,

1576
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: a lot of money involved, and when it comes right

1577
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: down to it, you know it's it's not an easy situation,

1578
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: and so it's it's really anybody's guess when you have

1579
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,919
Speaker 1: to realize that when you have this much money involved

1580
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: and you have really sort of the futures are two

1581
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: franchises that are probably going in different directions. Don't really

1582
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 1: know what the future holds until this deals either consummated

1583
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: or not consummated. Everybody's kind of a limbo. But there

1584
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: are some key dates. You have to watch these dates.

1585
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: Their first one is only eight days away, April seventeenth.

1586
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Yes, future has a way of

1587
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: arriving ahead of schedule. The Jets have an offseason program.

1588
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: The Jets will begin their offseason program April seventeenth. At

1589
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: that point, in a perfect world, let's face it, they

1590
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 1: would really like to have Rogers in the fold. That

1591
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: would give him ample time to start to familiarize himself

1592
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: with the personnel, the teammates, the offense, the offensive line,

1593
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 1: maybe the receivers, what's you know? Etc. And I get it,

1594
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. The hell, Rogers has skipped

1595
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: the Packers offseason programs in multiple recent seasons, so he

1596
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: might even attend the Jets program. That said, the Jets

1597
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: would still like to give him that opportunity and ensure

1598
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: that they at least know they've got their quarterback for

1599
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season as they kickstart preparations jump

1600
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: ten days after that, we're talking two weeks from Thursday

1601
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. Yes, it's upon us. The NFL Draft

1602
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,879
Speaker 1: begins April twenty seventh. This is really a much harsher

1603
01:25:56,040 --> 01:26:00,799
Speaker 1: deadline of swords, because I wouldn't call it a hard deadline.

1604
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: But there's no denying that both the Jets and the

1605
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: Packers would like to know their plans and what available

1606
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: draft compensation they will have on hand before they make

1607
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: their selections in round one. Now there's a group think,

1608
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 1: echo chamber consensus. Am I predicting this? Note? We shall

1609
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: see a lot of folks believe this rolls right up

1610
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 1: until the draft, and then Round one is in the

1611
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: books and somewhere on that, you know, in the midnight

1612
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: hour after the Round one is in the books, and

1613
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: before they start drafting in round two, this trade could

1614
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: finally happen because it's really about twenty twenty three draft

1615
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 1: picks and you got to use them, and in order

1616
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: to use them, you have to you have to have them.

1617
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: And if they don't get that done, well, I don't

1618
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: know what happens next. But the key is if the

1619
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: Packers want twenty twenty three draft picks included in the

1620
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: compensation for Aaron Rodgers, that's going to necessitate getting a

1621
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: deal done either before the draft begins or certainly no

1622
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 1: sooner than the beginning of the second I do not

1623
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 1: believe there's any scenario where the New York Jets would

1624
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 1: give Green Bay their first first round draft pick in

1625
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, possibly for twenty twenty four. Maybe you

1626
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 1: have a situation where a Green Bay is willing or

1627
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: the Jets are willing to part with a second round

1628
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: draft pick in twenty twenty three, but a first round

1629
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: draft pick in twenty twenty four, or multiple twenty twenty

1630
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: four picks. But again, if you're Green Bay, you kind

1631
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: of want immediate payoff for those assets because you're parting

1632
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 1: with the Hall of Fame quarterback. And I'm not convinced

1633
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 1: Jordan loves Ready. Don't tell him, he show me. Even

1634
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, when you got that text back in

1635
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, when Brett fare moved on, says

1636
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 1: you got the keys of the car, you're ready, And

1637
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers admitted, and this is a confident guy with a

1638
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: lot to prove it, a chip on his shoulder. He'd

1639
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: already had that impressive game where he made his debut

1640
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: in Dallas on Thursday Night Football. He looked fantastic, he

1641
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: looked the part. But even he admitted, it's different when

1642
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: they hand you the keys to the car and it's

1643
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your baby, and you see to yourself,

1644
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: am I ready? I'm not sure because you can't be

1645
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: sure until you actually get under center in front of

1646
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand people and the heat gets hot and

1647
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: it's hard to breathe and the real bullets start to fly.

1648
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Then you know, and before then you don't know. You

1649
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,600
Speaker 1: can only simulate it. Now, Green Bay would like to

1650
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: get higher picks from New York if they can get

1651
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three draft capital in exchange for Rogers, and

1652
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: right now the Jets are slated to pick thirteenth in

1653
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 1: the first round, but they also have the forty second

1654
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: and forty third picks in the second round. This is interesting.

1655
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: I still think the Jets will drive a hard bargain,

1656
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and most of the draft picks they give up are

1657
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: going to be from twenty twenty four or the latter

1658
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: half of twenty twenty three. So you've got a bit

1659
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:45,480
Speaker 1: of a stalemate. But I think you have the framework

1660
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 1: of a potential deal to be done right around the draft.

1661
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:51,759
Speaker 1: That's a deadline of sorts. It's not a hard deadline,

1662
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: but if it gets close to the first day of

1663
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: the draft and no deals complete, I believe that the

1664
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Jets will push everything to twenty twenty four. You know,

1665
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: there you go, because the Jets are also going to

1666
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,639
Speaker 1: want to get more draft capital to surround Aaron Rodgers

1667
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: with the additional talent they already had, which is very

1668
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: good defense and a good running game assuming Bruce Hall's healthy,

1669
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: and some good young receivers, which leads us to May first.

1670
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,919
Speaker 1: Another deadline. This is Jordan Loves fifth year option deadline.

1671
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 1: You told us you think Jordan Love is ready, Well,

1672
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 1: why haven't you picked up the option on Jordan Love

1673
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:31,599
Speaker 1: and his fifth year option. That's the department, that redundancy department. Okay,

1674
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: the Packers do have till May first, they might still

1675
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 1: do it. They got to make a decision on Jordan Love.

1676
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: They can choose to exercise these fifth year option or not. Allegedly,

1677
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 1: they seem poise that they're going to do that, the Packers,

1678
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: but they may not want to do it if Rogers

1679
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: is still on the roster and this deal faces uncertainty.

1680
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 1: I have always said there's a possibility, not predicting it,

1681
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: but there's a possibility this trade could actually sink under

1682
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: its own weight. Don't don't think that can happen. It

1683
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: can happen, but I'm not predicting it's gonna happen because

1684
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 1: they're pretty far down the road. But you just don't know.

1685
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,639
Speaker 1: If a trade does fall through, Rogers decides to play

1686
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: for the Packers again. And now you've re upped Jordan Love,

1687
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna have nearly seventy five million dollars in cap

1688
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 1: space tied up in quarterbacks for the twenty twenty four

1689
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: NFL season. That is not a number any GM can

1690
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,639
Speaker 1: deal with. That is what you call salary cap. Hell

1691
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 1: and again you're you're putting yourself in a position where

1692
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's very hard to surround yourself with more talent.

1693
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,560
Speaker 1: You can never have too much talent or depth in

1694
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and you don't want to end

1695
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:41,640
Speaker 1: up in salary cap hell. The next big deadline is

1696
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 1: June first. Now here's what the significance of June first is.

1697
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 1: Meaning that if you trade Aaron Rodgers after June first

1698
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 1: versus prior to June first, Let's say the Packers go

1699
01:30:55,800 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 1: through the NFL Draft and the Jordan Loved deadline without

1700
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 1: having traded Rogers. Now they might say, Okay, we might

1701
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: as well wait to June to make the deal. Why

1702
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: because once June first passes, the Packers that get to

1703
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: spread Aaron Rodgers dead cap hit over two seasons as

1704
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: opposed to having to absorb it all in twenty twenty three.

1705
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 1: So let's look at the numbers there. If the Packers

1706
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 1: trade Aaron Rodgers before June first, they'll take a dead

1707
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 1: cap hit that is about forty almost forty one million dollars.

1708
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 1: And if you trade Rogers after June first, then you

1709
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: have a little bit more budget space to work with.

1710
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 1: The Packers would absubs or about a fifteen and a

1711
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 1: half a million dollar cap hit dead cap hit in

1712
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Now, again, they're not getting off scott free.

1713
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 1: They're still going to take that cap hit of forty million,

1714
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 1: but twenty four million would be pushed ahead to twenty

1715
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: twenty four. That may feel like it goes down a

1716
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 1: little easier, but again there's issues with that as well,

1717
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,639
Speaker 1: because all that would be to fit the Packers short term,

1718
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 1: as they would have more cap space available, which would

1719
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 1: potentially give them the opportunity to build around Jordan Love.

1720
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: The problem is you defer some of that cap dead

1721
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 1: cap hit into twenty twenty four, then that's going to

1722
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: just limit your you're spending capabilities in twenty twenty four.

1723
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 1: So maybe you take the heart hit all at once

1724
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: as opposed to kick in the camp down the road.

1725
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: None of these decisions are easy, none of them. So

1726
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:32,839
Speaker 1: that leaves the next big deadline, which is a real deadline.

1727
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: Training camp eventually is going to begin. We are already

1728
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: into mid April. We are about ninety days away from

1729
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:45,680
Speaker 1: training camp essentially commencing in the National Football League. Don't

1730
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 1: see the NFL hasn't announced when training camps are going

1731
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 1: to open in twenty twenty three. But teams, you know,

1732
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,600
Speaker 1: they tend to begin their camps middle late July, and

1733
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 1: by that point, obviously the Jets, the Jets non speaking of,

1734
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 1: they would have an absolute increased desire to have Aaron

1735
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers on the roster for obvious reasons. You got to

1736
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 1: prepare to play with their new teammates. Dude's almost forty

1737
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: years old. You don't just show up. This isn't Sanlon football.

1738
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says. Now. The Packers, they

1739
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 1: would also want to have some confidence they can move

1740
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 1: forward with Jordan Love as their starter. Otherwise you're gonna

1741
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 1: have this looming threat of Aaron Rodgers hanging around starting,

1742
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 1: which I again, I think it would be weird. It

1743
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 1: might be a little uncomfortable and all that kind of stuff,

1744
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this, it wouldn't necessarily be

1745
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,640
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. If the Packers had

1746
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: to go into next year and have a Hall of

1747
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback. What the hell of Jet's gonna do? Oh yeah,

1748
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 1: you may have heard this. Last week, they signed TB twelve. No,

1749
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: not Tom Brady. They signed Tim Boyle, who also wears

1750
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 1: number twelve. You were twelve with the Lions, kid out

1751
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 1: of the University of Connecticut, who's found his way in

1752
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. I tip my cap because a Yukon you

1753
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 1: threw one touchdown pass in thirteen interceptions, transferred needs Eastern Canuckey.

1754
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 1: But now he's in a National Football League. So your

1755
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the roster for the Jets are Tim Boyle

1756
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 1: and Zach Wilson. And how was your day? So there

1757
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: really isn't a financial incentive to get the deal done

1758
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: by training camp. But from a practical standpoint, this has

1759
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:23,600
Speaker 1: got to be I would think the final deadline that

1760
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 1: makes sense for both teams if they don't have a

1761
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 1: deal by mid July. But I'm telling you, look how

1762
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 1: fast time flies. We are in April ninth. Go back

1763
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 1: three months. We are at January ninth, in the throws

1764
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 1: of the NFL playoffs looming, with the Super Bowl looming looming.

1765
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 1: Fast forward three months, we're in NFL training camps. The

1766
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 1: fut choice has a way of arriving ahead of schedule,

1767
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,640
Speaker 1: and then, of course the final deadline September tenth, that's

1768
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:51,840
Speaker 1: when the season begins. National Football League season begins. If

1769
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 1: trade hasn't happened by that point. The odds are mostly

1770
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: likely to me that each team at that at that

1771
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: juncture would have found an alternative solution, And technically speaking,

1772
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: this would be the hard deadline for trading Rodgers. Why

1773
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: because now it's about the money. Rogers does have a

1774
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:13,120
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed option bonus at fifty eight point three million,

1775
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:18,680
Speaker 1: but that must be exercised before the first game of

1776
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:23,639
Speaker 1: the season, So you would think the option, the decision

1777
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:25,439
Speaker 1: to pick up that option, would be made well in

1778
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 1: advance before the start of the NFL season, or at

1779
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: least have some sort of agreement that could be reached.

1780
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 1: The Packers don't really want Rogers on their team anymore,

1781
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:35,680
Speaker 1: that's what they're telling us. They could hold out hope

1782
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: they can trade them right up to the first game

1783
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: in the regular season. That seems like a bit of

1784
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,879
Speaker 1: a pipe dream. Why would the Jets be that desperate.

1785
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 1: They already looked desperate to me, If you want my opinion,

1786
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,759
Speaker 1: I strongly believe the Green Bay Packers have the leverage

1787
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 1: here because if this deal doesn't go down, what's the

1788
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: Jets option. Jets got a damn good team. They've got

1789
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 1: a top ten defense, a top flight running back in

1790
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:59,760
Speaker 1: Breese Hall. Assuming these healthy, outstanding receivers, they're well coached,

1791
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 1: they out of culture. I think the Jets are a

1792
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,640
Speaker 1: playoff team next year. Absolutely a playoff team. And if

1793
01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 1: Mike White hadn't got hurt last year, he probably would

1794
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,720
Speaker 1: have been a playoff team last year. So you want

1795
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You've already said they want Aaron Rodgers, and

1796
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 1: Garon Rodgers said he wants to play for the Jets.

1797
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,719
Speaker 1: Who's the pressure on the Jets If the Jets still

1798
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:21,839
Speaker 1: make this damn deal. They're holding nothing, man, Judge smiles.

1799
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: You're getting nothing and like it. So the Packers are

1800
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: playing hardball. They've said, basically a very exorbited price. That

1801
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 1: is exactly why this is taking so long. The Packers

1802
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna hold out. They're gonna get as much as

1803
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:38,519
Speaker 1: they can for Rodgers. I get it. At a certain point,

1804
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to have to guarantee they no longer

1805
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 1: have to want a word. You carrying the financial burden

1806
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 1: of his contract too. But anyway he's slicing, they're gonna

1807
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 1: take a hit. So what do you do? You passed

1808
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 1: a baton to love? Give him a chance to run

1809
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the team. I would say this. People closer to the situation,

1810
01:36:55,840 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 1: much closer than I am, believe that this resolution will

1811
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 1: happen well before the season and before training camp. But

1812
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,479
Speaker 1: we shall see. I'm not one hundred percent sure. But

1813
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 1: that's what people smarter than me say. Is there really

1814
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: a date the Packers should trade Rogers? Mike Tannenbaum, who

1815
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 1: I think is a very respected former NFL and executive

1816
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 1: who also works for ESPN, but he also, remember, was

1817
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 1: once the Jets general manager. He basically said, it's in

1818
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,920
Speaker 1: everybody's best interest to get the deal done sooner rather

1819
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: than later. You need a deadline typically, but he thinks

1820
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: that the offseason program is the first deadline. That's really

1821
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 1: the first deadline. Well, I just told you what that

1822
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 1: date was, April seventeenth, that's actually before the draft. I

1823
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 1: like the way Tannembaum thinks. Tannebaum's a really smart guy.

1824
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 1: I think he understands cost benefit analysis, risk reward, and

1825
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 1: I think he is a shrewd guy when it comes

1826
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 1: to really understanding, you know, the residual effects of whatever

1827
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,880
Speaker 1: decision you make, But until something happens, you've got nothing

1828
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: more than rumors. In uendo, and you better be patient

1829
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 1: because you've always got to be patient with Aaron Robbers

1830
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 1: or Rodgers. Remember he's been there eighteen years in Green Bay.

1831
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 1: And all I can say is this that when it

1832
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 1: comes to Aaron Rodgers, genuinely, please truly expect the unexpected.

1833
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:20,679
Speaker 1: He'd come out of his darkness retreat and he said

1834
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 1: he was ninety percent retired. That would be a huge

1835
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 1: red flag for me. Then he found out that Green

1836
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 1: Bay didn't really want him. He's oh, okay, I'll show

1837
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: you guys, same chip on a shoulder he's had since

1838
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:33,640
Speaker 1: high school, where he went to junior college, went to

1839
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:37,559
Speaker 1: cal Toil under Bread far if Aaron Rodgers is one

1840
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:39,800
Speaker 1: of those guys that always believes he's got to do

1841
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 1: three times as much to get half as much respect.

1842
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 1: He's got that fire, he's got that chip on a shoulder,

1843
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think it ever goes away. And I

1844
01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 1: can certainly relate to that, but I will say this,

1845
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 1: we don't really care what he wants to drink. Everybody

1846
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,559
Speaker 1: else through it. It's getting bored. This is a third

1847
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 1: year in a row. But it's getting juicy too because

1848
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 1: his stakes are high and too many people have talked

1849
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 1: and you can't unring that bell coming up. Let's see

1850

1852
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 1: fans or not. I don't know if they've ever tried Hiahuasca.

1853

Speaker 1: saga and whether or not what is going to happen next.

1873
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,760
Speaker 1: can't recommend highly enough the movie There, the movie Matt

Speaker 1: Jordan to put Nike on the map and frankly changed

1876
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:48,600
Speaker 1: the world. The life lessons in that movie incredible and

1877
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: it was very entertaining and used the power story to

1878
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: share with you one of the more noteworthy events in

1879
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: the history and annals of American sports. All right, Aaron Rodgers,

1880
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 1: when the hell they're going to get this damn thing done?

1881
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 1: Let's start with you Patrick. Do you think it'll be

1882
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 1: done by the draft? I actually believe that it'll be

1883
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 1: done right during the draft, actually, like right maybe as

1884
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: like you know, they're heading into the first or second

1885
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: round and like or maybe like an hour before the

1886
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:19,760
Speaker 1: draft happens, because we all know that, like you know,

1887
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,719
Speaker 1: trades are always going down leading up to the draft

1888
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:24,600
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. It'll be literally right or

1889
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 1: on the draft if something were to happen. If nothing

1890
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: happens after the draft, I think we have a problem.

1891
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: Maybe well, I agree with you that by the draft

1892
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:37,679
Speaker 1: is includes during the draft, because if even it happened

1893
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:40,479
Speaker 1: between round one and in round two, that I can

1894
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: still I still consider that being during the draft. But

1895
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:46,600
Speaker 1: then you've got the next big key date after that,

1896
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:50,640
Speaker 1: and that of course is May first, when they have

1897
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:52,439
Speaker 1: to decide what to do with Jordan Love. Do you

1898
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: think you haven't done by then? True? Yeah, I know

1899
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 1: they have to decide with his uh, I believe just

1900
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do exactly with him. I would think

1901
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 1: if they don't do it by the draft, that would

1902
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,759
Speaker 1: probably be your first look into the life of Aaron

1903
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Packers that if they're actually gonna, you know,

1904
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: stop playing chicken and actually, you know, get on with

1905
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 1: their lives, that would be the big one right there. Yeah,

1906
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: they are playing chicken. A good world will come back

1907
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 1: to in a second. The same questions, Kevin Wired, do

1908
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 1: you think they get this deal done by the draft?

1909
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:25,240
Speaker 1: I could see it getting done right around the draft.

1910
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 1: Much like Patrick said, I think if they don't get

1911
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:30,800
Speaker 1: it done by the draft, then what they do with

1912
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: Jordan Love by May first will indicate whether or not

1913
01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: a trade is close or not, because if they do

1914
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: pick up his option, and that's a good indication that

1915
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 1: even if a trade isn't completed, they're at least confident

1916
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:44,120
Speaker 1: that something can get done because, as you said before,

1917
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,360
Speaker 1: they'd be salary cap hell if they were to pick

1918
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: up Jordan Loves option without trading Aaron Rodgers. So I'm

1919
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 1: gonna look for the draft to see what happens there,

1920
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,240
Speaker 1: and then from there look at see what they do

1921
01:42:56,320 --> 01:43:00,560
Speaker 1: with Jordan Love Yeah, I know they will say. So

1922
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 1: let's ask both of you guys the same question. Who

1923
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,320
Speaker 1: blinks first? Patrick, Do the Green Bay Packers blink first?

1924
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 1: Or do the New York Jets. I one hundred percent

1925
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 1: believe that the New York Jets are going to be

1926
01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: the ones that are going to blink first, not the Packers.

1927
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: And that happens, you might see the draft deal situation

1928
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:21,599
Speaker 1: because they might say, okay, hell with it. Will give

1929
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: you a first round pick for twenty four, We'll give

1930
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: you a second round pick for twenty three. That might

1931
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:28,799
Speaker 1: get it done. Now they have their quarterback and they

1932
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 1: can look ahead. Patrick, how about you do you think

1933
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 1: who do you think blinks first Jets are? Are Packers?

1934
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely going to be the Jets because

1935
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: they've sold their fan base too much. I think on

1936
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,160
Speaker 1: it too hard on getting Aaron Rodgers and if they

1937
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: don't get him, what that would do in regards to

1938
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 1: selling their upcoming season Because they have a very good team,

1939
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 1: they just seem like seems like they're a quarterback away,

1940
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 1: and with all the public overtures they've been making about

1941
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:55,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I think all the pressure is on them

1942
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,600
Speaker 1: to get a deal done. While the Packers, on the

1943
01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:00,679
Speaker 1: other hand, I think they're content to make Aaron Rodgers

1944
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 1: play for them for an extra year, even if it

1945
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,480
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it would be a very tenable situation.

1946
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 1: I think if they don't get the type of compensation

1947
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: they feel that they can get forceone like Aaron Rodgers,

1948
01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 1: that they're content to just keep him for the year.

1949
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:18,559
Speaker 1: One last question, Kevin, stay with you, what percentage chance

1950
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: you give it this whole deal falls through. I would

1951
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: say it's sixty forty in favor of the trade happening,

1952
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,639
Speaker 1: But it's it's, it's, it's it's it's a decent chance

1953
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 1: that it does fall through though an union, I'm an agreement,

1954
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 1: it's it's not a lock. I think it's well over

1955
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 1: fifty percent that it happens because of the I would

1956
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: say the writing on the wall as it were the

1957
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 1: tea leaves. But that doesn't mean this thing can't still

1958
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:47,839
Speaker 1: sick under its own weed. Wouldn't surprise me, Uh, Patrick,

1959
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: you got the last run on this. What percentage do

1960
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: you think this falls through? I think that the base

1961
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,120
Speaker 1: for having the sixty forty, like Kevin said, is absolutely perfect.

1962
01:44:56,240 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: But I believe that that margin will widen as the

1963
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 1: weeks lead up towards the draft. It'll become a little

1964
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 1: more like from sixty to forty to well thirty five

1965
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 1: sixty five, and you know, it just starts getting a

1966
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 1: little bit as the weeks go by, it will start

1967
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: kind of getting a little bit higher. All right. Coming up,

1968
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:16,679
Speaker 1: If the Jets do get Aaron Rodgers, which it looks

1969
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: like they will, once the comp in terms of how

1970
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: much better will the Jets actually be with Aaron Rodgers

1971
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 1: taser alert, they should actually be a lot better with

1972
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers I'll explain coming up at first. Let's go

1973
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 1: back to a guy, Kevin Wyrett with the latest. Yeah,

1974
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:37,560
Speaker 1: busy day of Major League Baseball. The Rays moved to

1975
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 1: eight and oh after they shut out the Oakland Athletics

1976
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 1: eleven to nothing. That's the best start in franchise history.

1977
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,640
Speaker 1: They're the last remaining team who has not lost a

1978
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 1: game this season. Boston beats Detroit fourteen to five. The

1979
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 1: Cubs beat the Rangers ten to three, and the Rangers

1980
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 1: did themselves no favors. They committed five errors in that game.

1981
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:59,200
Speaker 1: The Phillies scored three runs in the ninth to edge

1982
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 1: out the Reds three to two. The Royals on a

1983
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 1: wild pitch in the night, they score and beat the

1984
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 1: Giants six to five. The Mets over the Marlins five

1985
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: to two, with Pie Alonzo hitting his fifth home run.

1986
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks trailed the Dodgers for nothing in the first day,

1987
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 1: but they come from behind to beat La twelve to eight.

1988
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 1: But Arizona they lost their starting pitchers, Zach Davies. He

1989
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: left with a strained oblique. The Padres beat the Braves

1990
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 1: four one. Washington holds on to beat the Rockies seven

1991
01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: to six. The Yankees beat the Orioles four to one,

1992
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 1: Mike Trout with a three run home run four the

1993
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:33,720
Speaker 1: Angels as they beat the Blue Jays nine to five.

1994
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 1: In the Masters, once again suspended because of inclement whether

1995
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: the third round paused until Sunday, they'll play the rest

1996
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: of its Sunday morning, then right after that's done they'll

1997
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: play the final round. Currently it's brooks Kepka in the

1998
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: lead at thirteen under. He's four strokes ahead of John

1999
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:52,800
Speaker 1: rom Tiger Woods making the cut. That's the twenty third

2000
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 1: consecutive time he has made the cut in the Masters,

2001
01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 1: in at least in which the ones in which he's

2002
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,920
Speaker 1: played that is a wreckerd. He's certainly nine over par,

2003
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 1: justin Thomas missing the cut. The NBA investigating the Dallas

2004
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: Mavericks for sitting players in Friday Night's game. Of course,

2005
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,800
Speaker 1: they then lost and then got themselves eliminated from playoff contention.

2006
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: They did have a top ten protected draft pick that

2007
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:18,200
Speaker 1: they set, so that's certainly very well could have factored

2008
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: into that decision. The NBA is investigating. The finale of

2009
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 1: the regular season is Sunday, one of the games of note.

2010
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,960
Speaker 1: The Clippers, with a chance to avoid the playing tournament.

2011
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 1: If they can beat the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers on

2012
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 1: their heels, they've got a home game against the U

2013
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 1: Taught Jazz book cover to you, Bernie, all right, thanks, Kevin,

2014
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 1: all right. So how much will Aaron Rodgers actually help

2015
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,600
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Well, if past his prologue and

2016
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 1: the historical NFL data is accurate, he should help the

2017
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:52,480
Speaker 1: Jets a lot. Here's why. There are a couple of scenarios.

2018
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,960
Speaker 1: The first scenario is Rogers joins the Jets in their

2019
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 1: offense improves, but because of growing pains, they ranked somewhere,

2020
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:04,080
Speaker 1: not in the top ten, but definitely in the top twenty,

2021
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 1: so somewhere between tenth and twentieth if you go back

2022
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: to last twenty two years when you look at that profile,

2023
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 1: and here's what I mean by that, because the Jets

2024
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:17,720
Speaker 1: have a top ten defense, and whenever you have a

2025
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: scenario where a team has a top ten defense and

2026
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:25,439
Speaker 1: an offense in the top twenty but not in the

2027
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:30,680
Speaker 1: top ten, somewhere between eleven and twenty, those teams make

2028
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs seventy five percent of the time. And believe

2029
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 1: it or not, there have been plenty of teams in

2030
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 1: the last twenty two years that have done quite well

2031
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:46,880
Speaker 1: where they were very good on defense like the Jets are,

2032
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: and they were good on offense, but they weren't special

2033
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:51,919
Speaker 1: on offense. The two thousand and three New England Patriots

2034
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl, the two twelve Baltimore Ravens, the

2035
01:48:55,880 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Seattle Seahawks. All three of those teams not

2036
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 1: only just made the Super Bowl, they won the Super Bowl,

2037
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: fitting that profile. The two thousand and three Carolina Panthers

2038
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: they fit that profile even though they lost to the

2039
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 1: Patriots in the Super Bowl. That was at Jake the

2040
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 1: lone team that played Houston high scoring game. But Carolina

2041
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: was not a top ten offense. They were between ten

2042
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 1: and twenty, but had a top ten defense at twenty ten.

2043
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers at twenty or six Bears and twenty twenty

2044
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 1: one Bengals also fit into that bucket. All of them

2045
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:33,000
Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl even though they didn't win. So

2046
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 1: even if Rogers just comes in and the offense gets

2047
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 1: between ten and twenty and they stayed with a top

2048
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 1: ten defense, the Jets are a whole new different looking Jets.

2049
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 1: This is simply a world that Jets have never inhabited it,

2050
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 1: and they're close to having it now. And you know,

2051
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:52,720
Speaker 1: you would presume that Rogers would have success with his

2052
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:57,400
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, but I think the ceiling for

2053
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,400
Speaker 1: the Jets offense potential gets much higher. But the second scenario,

2054
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:04,599
Speaker 1: what if Rogers is able to bring this offense together

2055
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 1: quickly and the Jets become a top ten offense to

2056
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 1: go along with their top ten defense. Well, there's quite

2057
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 1: a profile for this. The fifty seven teams in the

2058
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: last twenty two years fitting this profile reached the playoffs

2059
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the time, twenty five percent of

2060
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: them actually got to the Super Bowl, and eight teams

2061
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: actually won the Super Bowl, including the twenty twenty Bucks

2062
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. So this is where it gets real

2063
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:39,880
Speaker 1: and you can see whether Jets want Rogers, because when

2064
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:41,679
Speaker 1: you have a top ten defense and a top TV

2065
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 1: offense in a Hall of Fame quarterback, these numbers don't lie.

2066
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:47,080
Speaker 1: You can only make the playoffs ninety five percent of

2067
01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 1: the time, twenty five percent of the time you get

2068
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, and eight of those teams, so

2069
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,680
Speaker 1: you're winning the Super Bowl what sixteen seventy percent of

2070
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:58,120
Speaker 1: the time that's a pretty good number. Who are the comps?

2071
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:00,760
Speaker 1: You know you got right? What do I mean by that?

2072
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 1: Where has there been a similar situation? Right? Well, there's

2073
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 1: always the caveat because Russell Wilson, he has experienced in

2074
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: Denver last year, has become a serious cautionary tale. But

2075
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 1: I think Rogers is a lot better than Russell Wilson.

2076
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 1: And for as good as Wilson once was in Seattle,

2077
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, they had kind of a complimentary style. Wilson,

2078
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:25,280
Speaker 1: he never received a single MVP vote while he was

2079
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 1: in Seattle, so he's become kind of a Tier two quarterback.

2080
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 1: Rogers has one multiple MVP So even if Rodgers slipped

2081
01:51:31,560 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 1: a little from last season, he's still a Tier one quarterback.

2082
01:51:34,479 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of years, he's won two of

2083
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:38,320
Speaker 1: the last three MVP awards. Yeah, he's a little bit.

2084
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: I think he's got gas in the tank. Maybe a

2085
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: more comparable comparison Brett Farves side with Minnesota when he

2086
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 1: was forty in two thousand and nine. That's irrelevant, cop,

2087
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 1: because Farv was coming off his first down season. Remember

2088
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 1: he went from the Packers to the Jets and then

2089
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:57,120
Speaker 1: they reunited him with his former Packers quarterbacks coach Darryll Bevell,

2090
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 1: who at that time was coordinating the Vikings offense. The

2091
01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 1: coach was Brad Childress. That was a good Vikings team.

2092
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 1: But you remember, why do you ponder passing? That was

2093
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,519
Speaker 1: a good Vikings team, though, And in his first season

2094
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:11,680
Speaker 1: with Minnesota five actually set career highs in completion rate

2095
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: and yards per a temph. And he had a very

2096
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: good passer rating. And Farv had some decent receivers to

2097
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: throw too, Sydney Rice. He also had Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin,

2098
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 1: and so that's a more comparable comp as it were.

2099
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:27,600
Speaker 1: I think it would be so cool to see the

2100
01:52:27,720 --> 01:52:31,120
Speaker 1: Chants make a Super Bowl run. I just do. I'm

2101
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:33,000
Speaker 1: not a fan, but I love the story and I

2102
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:34,800
Speaker 1: don't root against him either. I just think it would

2103
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:37,800
Speaker 1: be a cool story. Obviously, Tom Brady in twenty twenty,

2104
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:40,880
Speaker 1: that's the over other obvious comp because Brady, who you know,

2105
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 1: much like Aaron Rodgers, was ending a long relationship with

2106
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:47,040
Speaker 1: the team that drafted him. Brady was coming off a

2107
01:52:47,120 --> 01:52:50,000
Speaker 1: down season in twenty nineteen. They were questioning people were

2108
01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: questioning whether his Tom Brady declined had finally come and

2109
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,560
Speaker 1: Obviously it did not come because the Bucks had some

2110
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 1: high level receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin. Also Brady was

2111
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 1: able to get Rob Gronkowski had a retirement that didn't

2112
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 1: hurt Rogers actually produced at a slightly higher level more

2113
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 1: recently than Bred five did in two thousand and nine

2114
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:14,120
Speaker 1: and even Tom Brady entering a twenty twenty. He's also

2115
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: a couple of months younger than five and obviously much

2116
01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 1: younger than Tom Brady, and he doesn't have a lot

2117
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: of hard miles on his body, but he doesn't look

2118
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,880
Speaker 1: young either. The truth of the matter is the odds

2119
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:27,400
Speaker 1: say that if if Aaron Rodgers joins the New York Jets,

2120
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 1: they're going to the playoffs. I get it. There's a downside.

2121
01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 1: You don't know how Rogers is going to handle New York.

2122
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,920
Speaker 1: They'll criticize him for the way he pontificates. You know,

2123
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,080
Speaker 1: he might be weird during press conferences and New Yorkers

2124
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 1: will eat him up. But I would not You know,

2125
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: these are warning signs, but I would not underestimate Aaron Rodgers'

2126
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 1: ability to navigate through those waters. By the way, there's

2127
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:51,400
Speaker 1: one antidote for that. Just play well. Just play well.

2128
01:53:51,439 --> 01:53:56,560
Speaker 1: And if the Rogers experiment works in New York, what

2129
01:53:56,720 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 1: a story, What a success story. And I by now

2130
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: when you really look at it, when you compare what

2131
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 1: the Jets are faced with if they don't get Aaron Rodgers,

2132
01:54:07,520 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: this is about the Jets need to make and I

2133
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't be so quick to try to go

2134
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:15,200
Speaker 1: cheap with the Packers. Draft choices don't work out a

2135
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:17,800
Speaker 1: high percentage of the time, So you give up a

2136
01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 1: couple of draft choices, you move forward. You got a

2137
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 1: team on the field ready to win. Now, be a

2138
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:27,519
Speaker 1: little bit careful, don't get too greedy. Coming up, you

2139
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 1: know football is being played right now the XFL. They're

2140
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:34,440
Speaker 1: actually doing something that's quite ingenious. It's quite innovative. The

2141
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:37,120
Speaker 1: NFL might want to take note of. I'll tell you

2142
01:54:37,200 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: what it is. Coming up on Bernie Frati Where coming

2146
01:54:56,040 --> 01:54:58,000
Speaker 1: Where coming to your live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports

2147
01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:02,800
Speaker 1: Radio Studios, Tirac dot Com. Top of the Hour, Brand

2148
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 1: new fool. What kind of brand new fool? Are you?

2149
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:09,400
Speaker 1: Followed by? What my name? All? Right? XFL football is

2150
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:12,240
Speaker 1: all the rage or not, but they're playing it and

2151
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 1: I sample it. But what I do pay attention to

2152
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 1: are perhaps have been an innovative new fangled ideals that

2153
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 1: they have adopted. You know, think what you want, but

2154
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, the NBA basically copied everything the old ABA

2155
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 1: had except for the red, white and blue basketball, and

2156
01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 1: the NFL has copied a lot of what the uslf

2157
01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: I had, including the challenge rules and many that you know,

2158
01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 1: right down down the line. It took a one hundred

2159
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 1: and twenty eight of their players, So all of a sudden,

2160
01:55:43,800 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: the XFL has something that, frankly, the NFL should take note.

2161
01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody anybody who's listening to this

2162
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 1: show tonight or that watches a National Football League is

2163
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:56,919
Speaker 1: is pleased with the way that they execute the replay

2164
01:55:57,040 --> 01:56:00,680
Speaker 1: method process. Okay, it's not that we have avy play,

2165
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:02,600
Speaker 1: which is probably good for the game, you want to

2166
01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:07,879
Speaker 1: get it right, but the way it's executed is slow, clunky, maddening.

2167
01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:11,920
Speaker 1: We don't like it and it's fague. But what has

2168
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:14,600
Speaker 1: the XFL done The first few weeks of this twenty

2169
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:17,120
Speaker 1: twenty three season, viewers have actually gotten what you would

2170
01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 1: call an inside the booth look at replay reviews when

2171
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 1: calls are challenged and then they're actually examined as to

2172
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to be upheld or overturned. Now,

2173
01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:31,640
Speaker 1: this isn't just a play by play announcer or the

2174
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:35,680
Speaker 1: color commentator. You're reviewing the slow motion replays from all

2175
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:40,160
Speaker 1: the angles with the broadcast rules analysts. No, these are

2176
01:56:41,760 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 1: these are done by people. A guy that's a fremior

2177
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:49,640
Speaker 1: face and a fermier voice to many NFL fans, you

2178
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:53,000
Speaker 1: know the name Dean Blandino. Well, Dean Blandino is the

2179
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 1: XFL's vice president Officiating and rules Innovation. Now here's what's interesting.

2180
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 1: When you go to replay a booth in the XFL,

2181
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,920
Speaker 1: you get to see Dean Blandino do his job. You

2182
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 1: get to see how the sausage is made. Now, Blandino's

2183
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:11,120
Speaker 1: good at this because he's accustomed to being on camera.

2184
01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:14,879
Speaker 1: You see him as a rules analyst for Fox's programs

2185
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 1: on the NFL and certainly even college football coverage. But

2186
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 1: on XFL telecast, Blandino actually have the final say, when

2187
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: there's a disputed call, but TV viewers get to watch him,

2188
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 1: they get to see him render that judgment. So all

2189
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now the x XFL, they've adopted a

2190
01:57:33,480 --> 01:57:36,800
Speaker 1: replay process that you do not get to see on

2191
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:41,680
Speaker 1: NFL broadcasts. Replay officials are never shown on TV in

2192
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:45,960
Speaker 1: NFL games, nor are you privy to their communications. So

2193
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:49,840
Speaker 1: you've got communications going on between the on field officiating crew,

2194
01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 1: you get the league office in New York, and viewers.

2195
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 1: Not only will they never be privy or they have

2196
01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: not been privy yet to the NFL dialogue, viewers aren't

2197
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 1: even allowed to see the camera angles replay officials are

2198
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 1: looking at in NFL games. You're looking at replays. You

2199
01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 1: presume you're seeing the same images as what the officials

2200
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: are seeing, and you're presuming that what we see on

2201
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 1: television is identical to what the officials are watching when

2202
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: they review angles, when they determine what to do when

2203
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:25,520
Speaker 1: a call challenge has been you know, put forth. So

2204
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 1: from a TV standpoint, you have to give the XFL

2205
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 1: a little credit. This is actually very innovative. These broadcasts.

2206
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 1: They provide information, they provide entertainment that obviously the NFL

2207
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:46,080
Speaker 1: and certainly college football. They're telecasts don't include that. And

2208
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 1: since football itself kind of lacks the performance I'm talking

2209
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:55,200
Speaker 1: about the XFL, the XFL branded football, it doesn't lack

2210
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't feature the performance that you're going

2211
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 1: to see in the National Football League. You can clearly

2212
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 1: discern that. So the xfls they realize it. They've got

2213
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 1: to give the audience something that they don't get elsewhere,

2214
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 1: so it should not be a surprise at fans. And

2215
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:17,400
Speaker 1: a lot of critics and media types have responded to

2216
01:59:17,560 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 1: the XFL and they've applauded the transparency. They liked this

2217
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:25,880
Speaker 1: review process because the XFL is willing to give people

2218
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:30,240
Speaker 1: a glimpse it's something that's absolutely been hidden from view

2219
01:59:30,880 --> 01:59:36,120
Speaker 1: from fans, and the replay reviews basically have made the XFL.

2220
01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:41,360
Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. It provided the XFL a

2221
01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:45,200
Speaker 1: lot of publicity, very good publicity during the first several

2222
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:47,840
Speaker 1: weeks of play this year in twenty twenty three. So

2223
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino now he's actually hoping he sees the response

2224
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 1: to what the XFL is doing and that the NFL

2225
01:59:57,160 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 1: takes the opportunity to also show fans why particular calls

2226
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: are made and what went into the decision making process.

2227
02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Blandino has said it himself, he said he really loves

2228
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:12,400
Speaker 1: the transparency. There's no problem with it. He loves it.

2229
02:00:12,520 --> 02:00:15,920
Speaker 1: The fans and anybody who's watching the game on TV

2230
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,880
Speaker 1: or listening, they can hear, they can listen in, they

2231
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:21,840
Speaker 1: can actually eavesdrop on the replay process as to what

2232
02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:25,960
Speaker 1: they're doing. Dean Blandino, who's you should know that name

2233
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 1: if you watch NFL games, of course you do. And

2234
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: he has the authority and I think the pedigree to

2235
02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:38,480
Speaker 1: speak on such matters, because there's no question Dean Blandino

2236
02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 1: spent a long time at the NFL and he understands

2237
02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:46,040
Speaker 1: this concept. And I think this is the most intelligent

2238
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 1: part of this whole ordeal. Dean Blandino really feels that

2239
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:55,120
Speaker 1: if people don't agree with the call period, it's really

2240
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:58,720
Speaker 1: difficult to convince them why and how after the fact.

2241
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:02,600
Speaker 1: If they don't agree with the call, it's very difficult

2242
02:01:02,640 --> 02:01:05,520
Speaker 1: to convince them why and now after the fact. But

2243
02:01:05,640 --> 02:01:09,400
Speaker 1: when they can see actually happening, they might not agree,

2244
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,280
Speaker 1: they might not always agree, but now they have a

2245
02:01:14,400 --> 02:01:18,040
Speaker 1: better understanding and it gives them a better overall feeling

2246
02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 1: about officiating that's happening in the XFL. Ultimately, I think

2247
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino feels that if you do this in the

2248
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:28,880
Speaker 1: NFL and you show more a replay review on NFL telecasts,

2249
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:33,000
Speaker 1: that will increase credibility with the fans. More importantly, it

2250
02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: would even create a better TV product. You can't deny that,

2251
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:39,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody can deny that the credibility

2252
02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:42,720
Speaker 1: of NFL officiating is at an all time low. It's

2253
02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:48,520
Speaker 1: the topic of fodder. It was after the Chiefs Bengals game.

2254
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,160
Speaker 1: It was during the Super Bowl. You get to drift.

2255
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Okay for one thing, by the way, because NFL's becomes

2256
02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:56,600
Speaker 1: so specialized, there's a lot of dead airtime to fill.

2257
02:01:57,240 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, you're waiting, waiting, waiting for

2258
02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:02,240
Speaker 1: the replay. You make a sandwich, you go out front,

2259
02:02:02,280 --> 02:02:04,000
Speaker 1: you mow the lawn, you watch the car, You come back,

2260
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:07,120
Speaker 1: and you're still listening to the broadcast crew speculate as

2261
02:02:07,160 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 1: they watch the same replays over and over and over

2262
02:02:09,440 --> 02:02:12,320
Speaker 1: the audience, and they don't provide much insight. They really don't.

2263
02:02:12,560 --> 02:02:15,480
Speaker 1: The replay official could go over that same footage you

2264
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:17,480
Speaker 1: be able to hear them communicate with the referees in

2265
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:19,920
Speaker 1: league offense. All of a sudden, you've got real substance there.

2266
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:22,080
Speaker 1: These are people who do this for a living. There's

2267
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:25,560
Speaker 1: no speculation. It's the actual ruling being made. It's the

2268
02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:29,200
Speaker 1: actual sausage being made. You show that replay review process.

2269
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:33,320
Speaker 1: That's going to bring drama to an NFL telecast. It

2270
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 1: could be one more aspect of the game that, all

2271
02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:38,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the fans have one extra reason to

2272
02:02:38,160 --> 02:02:41,200
Speaker 1: really love the NFL, not just betting, rooting for your

2273
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:43,120
Speaker 1: favorite team, or having something to do on a Sunday.

2274
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 1: This provides genuine, legitimate sports content. The XFL is frankly

2275
02:02:50,720 --> 02:02:52,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be a testing ground for the NFL on

2276
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 1: rules of this nature. They've already done it with tiered

2277
02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:59,000
Speaker 1: extra point attempts, and they've talked about the offense. You

2278
02:02:59,080 --> 02:03:01,480
Speaker 1: can convert a four fifteen from the twenty five yard

2279
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 1: line instead of doing an onside kick. So think about it.

2280
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 1: This is just another innovative rule you show replay reviews.

2281
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 1: It would be a part of a collaboration, and the

2282
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 1: intention here would be to try something that the NFL

2283
02:03:15,320 --> 02:03:19,600
Speaker 1: could adopt if it continues to yield positive results. Fans

2284
02:03:19,680 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: have spoken they love it. In sports media, they're absolutely

2285
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 1: they're intrigued. I'm intrigued now. I can't see this as

2286
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 1: an old brander for the NFL to carry this over

2287
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:32,440
Speaker 1: because the NFL is still stodgy. I don't think Goodell's

2288
02:03:32,440 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 1: going to go for it. I don't know if the

2289
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: teams will go for it, But if they did, I

2290
02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:39,200
Speaker 1: don't really see the downside because they can show the

2291
02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:41,800
Speaker 1: replay a review on TV. It wouldn't be too difficult

2292
02:03:41,840 --> 02:03:45,360
Speaker 1: to do. What's the downside? What's to hide? Who you're protecting?

2293
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:49,960
Speaker 1: People want transparency? Come on, NFL, think about it. At

2294
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 1: least think about it. You've made a lot of innovations

2295
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:55,520
Speaker 1: in the last fifty years. This is just one more

2296
02:03:56,240 --> 02:03:59,040
Speaker 1: on a variation of a theme that you're already doing,

2297
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,440
Speaker 1: and you don't do it very well and everybody knows it.

2298
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Come it up. What kind of brand new fool you

2299
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:06,720
Speaker 1: followed by? What my name? Keep it lock? This is

02:04:34,360 --> 02:04:37,840

2308
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:42,160
Speaker 1: country and it's a fascinating world. But every day, every hour,

2309
02:04:42,400 --> 02:04:46,839
Speaker 1: every week, time goes by and somebody does something so foolish,

2310
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:53,520
Speaker 1: so weird, so stupid, sometimes innocuous, sometimes nefarious, sometimes criminal.

2311
02:04:54,160 --> 02:04:56,760
Speaker 1: But anyway you slice it, anyway you add it up,

2312
02:04:56,840 --> 02:05:01,960
Speaker 1: we leave ourselves with the same conclusion, asking ourselves, what

2313
02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: kind of brand new fool are you? So? What kind

2314
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:14,320
Speaker 1: of brand new fool are you? Oh? Yeah, baby, it

2315
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 1: never fails. This one is short and sweet, but it

2316
02:05:18,800 --> 02:05:22,640
Speaker 1: really it really get it. I get a kick out

2317
02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:24,280
Speaker 1: of this one. I guess I get a kick out

2318
02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:27,520
Speaker 1: of all of them, but this one will take us

2319
02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 1: to uk Little, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. Cleveland, one

2320
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:35,240
Speaker 1: of my favorite cities, and the only name we have

2321
02:05:35,480 --> 02:05:40,880
Speaker 1: here is Gary. So Gary must have been hungry because

2322
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:45,560
Speaker 1: he decided that he would, you know, pop into what

2323
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,760
Speaker 1: you would call a giant eagle grocery store in South

2324
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:55,040
Speaker 1: euc Little, Ohio, and h Gary helped himself to about

2325
02:05:55,080 --> 02:05:57,640
Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety eight dollars and forty one cents

2326
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:01,400
Speaker 1: in merchandise and food and all kinds of goodies. And

2327
02:06:02,160 --> 02:06:04,839
Speaker 1: according to police and manager at the Giant Eagle grocery

2328
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:09,080
Speaker 1: store spotting Gary ing the shirt leaving the store with

2329
02:06:09,160 --> 02:06:14,640
Speaker 1: a shopping cart full of unpaid groceries and merchandise just

2330
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:19,040
Speaker 1: last Saturday, and the female manager reported the incident to

2331
02:06:19,160 --> 02:06:22,320
Speaker 1: the store security, who didn't sell the suspect get into

2332
02:06:22,400 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 1: his getaway car. What was interesting is Gary must have

2333
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 1: been in the mood to really take care of his

2334
02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:33,600
Speaker 1: chores that day, because as he was escaping in his

2335
02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:40,680
Speaker 1: getaway car, he decided to stop get a nearby car wash. Yeah.

2336
02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:43,840
Speaker 1: What was interesting is if you're been of the car

2337
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:46,200
Speaker 1: washinger's a bottleneck and one car gets stuck, so you

2338
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:49,040
Speaker 1: get trapped between several others and you can't move. Well,

2339
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:53,120
Speaker 1: that's what happened to poor old Gary because he went

2340
02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:55,160
Speaker 1: to a car washer that happened to be very busy

2341
02:06:55,560 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: and he got stuck in the bottleneck, which enabled the

2342
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 1: manager to call the police. At an able, the police

2343
02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:03,360
Speaker 1: to get to the car wash and arrest is suspect you,

2344
02:07:03,480 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 1: by the way, has a body of work. He had

2345
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:08,840
Speaker 1: an outstanding warrant in South euclt Ohio. He charged him

2346
02:07:08,880 --> 02:07:11,640
Speaker 1: with theft. They also arrested, even had a getaway driver

2347
02:07:12,240 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 1: who also had outstanding warrants with the Lakewood Police Department.

2348
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:19,240
Speaker 1: So Gary steals five hundred dollars worth of merchandise, wants

2349
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:21,880
Speaker 1: to escape on a clean car, didn't budget for a

2350
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:25,280
Speaker 1: busy car wash, gets caught by the cops and even

2351
02:07:25,360 --> 02:07:28,600
Speaker 1: had an outstanding warrant, so did his getaway driver. A

2352
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 1: couple of fine gentlemen. All I can say once again

2353
02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: it leaves me scratching my head and asking Gary of

2354
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:41,280
Speaker 1: EUCU Little Ohio, what kind of brand new fool are you? Kevin?

2355
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:45,600
Speaker 1: You're up next, buddy, Well, this one takes us to Michigan,

2356
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:50,160
Speaker 1: and hey, no one should ever impersonate a cop, but

2357
02:07:50,280 --> 02:07:52,480
Speaker 1: it's not a good idea to pull over an actual

2358
02:07:52,600 --> 02:07:55,360
Speaker 1: copet for going to do so. A Michigan man arrested

2359
02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:58,040
Speaker 1: this week after authority say he posed as a copet

2360
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:00,879
Speaker 1: unwillingly attempted to pull over and off dude. Police officer

2361
02:08:01,440 --> 02:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Christian Kayton Mansour, eighteen years old of Maccombe Township, who

2362
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 1: was not a police officer, was driving a BMW and

2363
02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:12,320
Speaker 1: flash red and blue lights during an attempted traffic stop

2364
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:14,880
Speaker 1: of a Waterford Township officer who was off the clock

2365
02:08:14,920 --> 02:08:21,080
Speaker 1: around eleven o'clock Monday evening. That incident occurred in Rochester Hills,

2366
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:25,280
Speaker 1: a suburban community about thirty miles north of Detroit. The

2367
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 1: Sheriff's office said Mansour positioned his BMW behind the off

2368
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 1: duty officer, and when mansurf drove past the officer, she

2369
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:35,720
Speaker 1: followed him to confront him, and during a confrontation, the

2370
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:38,600
Speaker 1: officer identified herself as a police officer and asked Mansour

2371
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:41,920
Speaker 1: for identification. He claimed he was a Detroit police officer

2372
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: from the twelfth Precinct. She asked him for identification and

2373
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 1: he said he needed to retrieve it from his car,

2374
02:08:47,680 --> 02:08:49,560
Speaker 1: and as soon as he went to his car, he

2375
02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 1: took off and drove away. She followed him to a

2376
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:56,440
Speaker 1: trailer park in a community about eight miles away, lost

2377
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:59,080
Speaker 1: sight of it, but they later saw him a switching

2378
02:08:59,160 --> 02:09:02,280
Speaker 1: license plates from one vehicle to another he owned, so

2379
02:09:02,400 --> 02:09:04,480
Speaker 1: we just got worse from him. He was arrested a

2380
02:09:04,600 --> 02:09:09,680
Speaker 1: short time after that, So I want to say, uh,

2381
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:14,640
Speaker 1: what to look for his name again? Christian Kayton Mansoor?

2382
02:09:14,720 --> 02:09:16,960
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool? Are you? Good? Good job?

2383
02:09:17,040 --> 02:09:20,200
Speaker 1: By the way, of course, I lived in Michigan many years.

2384
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Rochester Hills a very nice area. Uh, there's a very

2385
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:28,280
Speaker 1: famous pop star from Rochester Hills, Michigan. She actually went

2386
02:09:28,320 --> 02:09:33,000
Speaker 1: to Rochester Adams High School. Her name Madonna. She went

2387
02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:35,600
Speaker 1: to Rochester Adams High School. Her buddy Fred Human went

2388
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:36,920
Speaker 1: to high school with her. Fred, I know you're a

2389
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:38,680
Speaker 1: nine all you might even be listening friends with Zbia

2390
02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: Sports in Detroit. Yeah, that's a good one. Kevin. I

2391
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 1: actually saw that one, and uh I got a kick

2392
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:45,520
Speaker 1: out of it. You know you're gonna personal into cop.

2393
02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:47,920
Speaker 1: You pull over cars, you pull over another cop. You're

2394
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 1: a damn fool on multiple angles. All right, Patrick, you've

2395
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 1: done this game before. What he got for us? All right?

2396
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Bernie Ald Kevin, We're gonna take a trip down to

2397
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Europe and buy Europe. I mean Joe only Old England,

2398
02:10:01,920 --> 02:10:07,360
Speaker 1: where a singer named Rocker Brocarde says she wants out

2399
02:10:07,440 --> 02:10:10,640
Speaker 1: of her marriage after just five months because now her

2400
02:10:10,760 --> 02:10:14,680
Speaker 1: husband is stalking her. Here is the cavate, a caveat

2401
02:10:14,840 --> 02:10:19,320
Speaker 1: about it though her husband is a ghost, not not

2402
02:10:19,600 --> 02:10:23,640
Speaker 1: lying about that, by the way. Apparently, yes, she is

2403
02:10:23,800 --> 02:10:28,720
Speaker 1: married to a specter, a ghost, a ghouls Casper. You

2404
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 1: would think his name's not Casper. Apparently his name is Eduardo,

2405
02:10:32,760 --> 02:10:36,640
Speaker 1: and she's now considering bringing an exorcist to get him

2406
02:10:36,680 --> 02:10:41,080
Speaker 1: out of her life. Apparently she met him on Halloween.

2407
02:10:41,400 --> 02:10:45,200
Speaker 1: He's a Victorian soldier and they hit it off, and

2408
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:48,800
Speaker 1: after five years of marriage or five months of marriage,

2409
02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:51,080
Speaker 1: she's at the end of her ropes because now he

2410
02:10:51,240 --> 02:10:54,720
Speaker 1: is constantly tormenting her and not very happy that she

2411
02:10:54,840 --> 02:10:58,480
Speaker 1: wants out of their marriage. So instead of a marriage counseling,

2412
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:01,440
Speaker 1: she wants yes, this is real. I will send you

2413
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the link to this, Bernie. I mean, I've heard people say, hey, man,

2414
02:11:04,160 --> 02:11:07,480
Speaker 1: you're seeing ghosts, but she's literally seeing ghosts. She's married

2415
02:11:07,520 --> 02:11:10,360
Speaker 1: to the ghost saying it's her ghost is her ghost

2416
02:11:10,480 --> 02:11:13,360
Speaker 1: husband was her lover too, to be fair, so I

2417
02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:16,320
Speaker 1: mean she and prior to this she said she did

2418
02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:18,880
Speaker 1: not believe in ghosts. I guess she's a believer now

2419
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:22,360
Speaker 1: after all they be They were married on Halloween night

2420

Speaker 1: and honeymoon in Barry Island, but it was doomed from

2421
02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:33,200
Speaker 1: the start, So that leads me to pull from the start. Yeah, well, yeah,

2422
02:11:35,200 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 1: she's not pregnant. Yeah we would certainly hope. I don't

2423
02:11:41,240 --> 02:11:43,600
Speaker 1: know how that would work, but all right, but it

2424
02:11:43,880 --> 02:11:46,120
Speaker 1: leads me to believe, or at least me say, Rock

02:11:46,240 --> 02:11:51,720
Speaker 1: or bro Carda, what kind of fool are you? I

02:12:04,160 --> 02:12:07,680
Speaker 1: second favorite bit, which we lovingly refer to as what

2431
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:14,000
Speaker 1: my name Mark Ramsey? Right on cue? All right now,

2432
02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell this story later on the show. I

2433
02:12:15,760 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 1: told it last night. Remember, Saturday was April eighth, and

2434
02:12:18,400 --> 02:12:21,400
Speaker 1: on April eight, nineteen seventy four, the Great Hank Aaron

2435
02:12:22,240 --> 02:12:25,440
Speaker 1: hit home run number seven fifteen to pass Babe Ruth

2436
02:12:26,720 --> 02:12:29,520
Speaker 1: to be the all time home run champ, all time

2437
02:12:29,640 --> 02:12:31,800
Speaker 1: leading home run champ at the time before Barry Bonds

2438
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:34,120
Speaker 1: passed ten. But let me not get too far astray.

2439
02:12:34,680 --> 02:12:37,680
Speaker 1: So in April eight, nineteen seventy four, Hank Aaron hit

2440
02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:40,760
Speaker 1: the seven hundred and fifteen tome run to pass Babe Ruth.

2441
02:12:41,080 --> 02:12:45,600
Speaker 1: But I was on deck and you'll know my name,

2442
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Kevin Wire What my name on deck? Early seventies Atlanta, Brais.

2443
02:12:51,800 --> 02:12:54,080
Speaker 1: That's a pass on that one, all right, Lisa, But

2444
02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:55,520
Speaker 1: you sized it up pretty good there. I thought you

2445
02:12:55,560 --> 02:12:58,600
Speaker 1: were gonna get it all right. April eight, nineteen seventy four,

2446
02:12:59,080 --> 02:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Hank Karen hit home run number seven to fifteen to

2447
02:13:01,720 --> 02:13:04,640
Speaker 1: pass Babe Ruth. I was on deck at the time.

2448
02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:10,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Sweeko, what's my name? What is Joe DiMaggio? Not correct,

2449
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:14,800
Speaker 1: but I like the effort. It's actually Dusty Baker. Dusty

2450
02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:18,600
Speaker 1: Baker the current manager of the Houston afters Okay, So

2451
02:13:18,720 --> 02:13:22,160
Speaker 1: the Masters got rained out as it were a Saturday,

2452
02:13:22,960 --> 02:13:26,720
Speaker 1: but they haven't had a situation where the Masters spilled

2453
02:13:26,760 --> 02:13:30,520
Speaker 1: into Monday. It wasn't completed on Monday since nineteen eighty three.

2454
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:33,200
Speaker 1: The last time the nineteen eighty and the last time

2455
02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:36,080
Speaker 1: the Masters was decided on Monday was nineteen eighty three,

2456
02:13:36,160 --> 02:13:39,640
Speaker 1: and I won. Kevin Wyatt went my name, I'm guessing

2457
02:13:39,680 --> 02:13:42,680
Speaker 1: that's leer Jack Nicholas one. After a while, Well, that's

2458
02:13:42,720 --> 02:13:45,240
Speaker 1: another great guest no, it's not that Jack Nichols actually

2459
02:13:45,280 --> 02:13:47,320
Speaker 1: did that in nineteen eighty six, I believe at the

2460
02:13:47,400 --> 02:13:50,640
Speaker 1: age of forty six. Good job, that's a famous one.

2461
02:13:51,440 --> 02:13:56,000
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty three Masters. Last time it wasn't decided until Monday.

2462
02:13:56,560 --> 02:13:59,600
Speaker 1: I remember it got washed out here Saturday and again

2463
02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:03,240
Speaker 1: today a little bit. So if they don't finish up today,

2464
02:14:03,400 --> 02:14:05,520
Speaker 1: it'll get spilled into money. The last time that happened

2465
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:08,880
Speaker 1: was nineteen eighty three and I won that year, Patrick Sweaker.

2466
02:14:08,960 --> 02:14:13,480

Speaker 1: That's number one all time. Patrick Sweka, what my name?

2495
02:16:04,800 --> 02:16:08,680

02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:15,600

2497
02:16:15,680 --> 02:16:18,960
Speaker 1: with this one. I'm right behind Barry Bonds. I ranked

Speaker 1: in receiving intentional walks in my illustrious major league baseball career.

2503
02:16:39,720 --> 02:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Sweeko, What my name? I'm bringing it back to

2504
02:16:42,680 --> 02:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Joe DiMaggio. Not a bad guess. It's actually Hank Aaron

2536
02:19:00,040 --> 02:19:03,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson his fight is misdirected. He's focused solely on

2537
02:19:03,280 --> 02:19:08,120
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money. History shows that elite quarterbacks, top tier

2538
02:19:08,240 --> 02:19:11,959
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like him, when they sign a top tier deal

2539
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:14,320
Speaker 1: between the age of twenty five and twenty seven, they

2540
02:19:14,440 --> 02:19:16,680
Speaker 1: collect the full amount of the contract about ninety percent

2541
02:19:16,720 --> 02:19:21,080
Speaker 1: of the time. Because given today's medical advancements, quarterbacks almost

2542
02:19:21,160 --> 02:19:23,800
Speaker 1: never have career ending injuries, nor did they really get cut.

2543
02:19:23,959 --> 02:19:26,520
Speaker 1: So if Lamar would have signed that two hundred and

2544
02:19:26,560 --> 02:19:28,560
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars deal, yes, it says on paper is

2545
02:19:28,560 --> 02:19:31,040
Speaker 1: guaranteed one thirty three eight, but if you play it

2546
02:19:31,120 --> 02:19:34,560
Speaker 1: out to five years, keep your nose clean, straighten up,

2547
02:19:35,040 --> 02:19:38,360
Speaker 1: fly right, keep continue winning games. Being the elite dual

2548
02:19:38,400 --> 02:19:40,800
Speaker 1: thread quarterback that you are, he probably would have collected

2549
02:19:40,840 --> 02:19:44,560
Speaker 1: the whole amount. Look the Raven's intentional along. They want

2550
02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:47,960
Speaker 1: to provide Lamar with a traditional deal, not that whackass

2551
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:51,560
Speaker 1: outlier Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Brown Deal. No one's getting that again.

2552
02:19:51,840 --> 02:19:55,080
Speaker 1: They're just not because it doesn't work for both sides.

2553
02:19:55,160 --> 02:19:57,320
Speaker 1: And it's not working for Cleveland. They're already, i think,

2554
02:19:57,720 --> 02:20:00,760
Speaker 1: suffering the ill effects of it. And we'll see. Maybe

2555
02:20:00,800 --> 02:20:02,480
Speaker 1: they get some kind of return on investment. Maybe they

2556
02:20:02,480 --> 02:20:05,000
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl next year and they can make

2557
02:20:05,200 --> 02:20:07,880
Speaker 1: a fool out of me. Yeah. Sure. Maybe led Zeppelin

2558
02:20:07,920 --> 02:20:10,120
Speaker 1: rerecords the Gill against Island theme song and seals a

2559
02:20:10,160 --> 02:20:14,520
Speaker 1: million copies too. So the question is when the Ravens said,

2560
02:20:15,200 --> 02:20:17,040
Speaker 1: all right, tell you what will non franchise tag you

2561
02:20:17,360 --> 02:20:19,920
Speaker 1: thirty two point four million, Go find your own deal.

2562
02:20:20,280 --> 02:20:22,520
Speaker 1: We'll decide whether we want to match it. People are

2563
02:20:22,560 --> 02:20:24,960
Speaker 1: not lining up to sign Lamar. They're lining up to

2564
02:20:25,040 --> 02:20:29,039
Speaker 1: say no thanks. And everybody's commenting. Even Dan Campbell at

2565
02:20:29,080 --> 02:20:31,720
Speaker 1: the NFL's owner meetings about ten days ago, he said, man,

2566
02:20:31,800 --> 02:20:34,280
Speaker 1: we get it. Lamar's a heck of a talent, but man,

2567
02:20:34,360 --> 02:20:36,600
Speaker 1: we got a quarterback, and thank god we do, so

2568
02:20:36,800 --> 02:20:41,120
Speaker 1: we're good. And then you start to look across the room,

2569
02:20:41,240 --> 02:20:44,720
Speaker 1: and remember the Carolina Panthers were thought to possibly be

2570
02:20:44,879 --> 02:20:49,280
Speaker 1: interested at one point, but they basically chose to trade

2571
02:20:49,360 --> 02:20:50,879
Speaker 1: up for the number one pick. They have a general

2572
02:20:50,920 --> 02:20:53,800
Speaker 1: manager by the name is Scott Federer. He basically said

2573
02:20:53,840 --> 02:20:56,200
Speaker 1: he did men's words. He says, look, Lamar is quote

2574
02:20:56,640 --> 02:21:01,480
Speaker 1: a really expensive option. We're focused more on our draft

2575
02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:04,840
Speaker 1: picks at this point. It's gonna make sense for both sides.

2576
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:08,200
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, the gem of the Jets, there was a

2577
02:21:08,360 --> 02:21:12,680
Speaker 1: thought that if the Aaron Rodgers debacle started to fall through,

2578
02:21:12,800 --> 02:21:15,080
Speaker 1: and there hasn't been this thought for a while, but

2579
02:21:16,320 --> 02:21:21,560
Speaker 1: perhaps you look toward Lamar Jackson. But Joe Douglas even

2580
02:21:21,600 --> 02:21:23,640
Speaker 1: said at the owner's meetings and I quote, this would

2581
02:21:23,680 --> 02:21:28,080
Speaker 1: be disingenuous and negotiating in bad faith to pivot from

2582
02:21:28,120 --> 02:21:31,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to Lamar Jackson. Pete Carroll, usually an open

2583
02:21:31,520 --> 02:21:35,320
Speaker 1: minded guy, he said, we can't afford him. Meanwhile, other raiders,

2584
02:21:35,360 --> 02:21:38,200
Speaker 1: they said, hey, we chose Jimmy Garoppolo. The Saints went

2585
02:21:38,240 --> 02:21:40,520
Speaker 1: with Derek Carr, the Lions are sticking with Jared Goff.

2586
02:21:40,600 --> 02:21:43,720
Speaker 1: Even Kyle Shanahan, now he's got a quarterback room. Brock

2587
02:21:43,800 --> 02:21:47,680
Speaker 1: Purty coming off an injury. Hopefully he recovers Sam Darnold.

2588
02:21:47,800 --> 02:21:51,680
Speaker 1: You already know about Sam Trey Lance, who I've always

2589
02:21:51,720 --> 02:21:55,240
Speaker 1: believed Will has an excellent chance to be a bust.

2590
02:21:55,920 --> 02:21:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I hope that happens. I gotta call

2591
02:21:58,879 --> 02:22:01,000
Speaker 1: him as I see him. And every time they kept

2592
02:22:01,040 --> 02:22:04,080
Speaker 1: shooting that same reel from North Dakota State with the

2593
02:22:04,200 --> 02:22:06,400
Speaker 1: three plays that were his highlight reel, two of the

2594
02:22:06,480 --> 02:22:09,360
Speaker 1: three were running plays. He's got a long way to go.

2595
02:22:10,040 --> 02:22:12,879
Speaker 1: So even with Brock Purty, Sam Donald, Trey Lanz, Kyle

2596
02:22:12,920 --> 02:22:16,920
Speaker 1: Shannon said, we're pretty set at quarterback. Okay, he's not interested.

2597
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:20,360
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, he's I like what he did. He's all

2598
02:22:20,480 --> 02:22:22,920
Speaker 1: in on TOA. He picked up the fifth year option.

2599
02:22:23,200 --> 02:22:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm a toa fan. I understand he's had some issues.

2600
02:22:26,600 --> 02:22:28,520
Speaker 1: He had two major injuries coming out of Alabama, and

2601
02:22:28,560 --> 02:22:31,760
Speaker 1: he's been injured in the NFL. But I think healthy

2602
02:22:32,320 --> 02:22:34,640
Speaker 1: with a healthy TOA. I like the cut of his jib.

2603
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:38,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are a pretty good team. The Dolphins believe

2604
02:22:38,280 --> 02:22:44,280
Speaker 1: they're set now Tom Brady retires Tampa Bay. Well, they

2605
02:22:44,320 --> 02:22:47,920
Speaker 1: did get in Baker Mayfield and they're gonna Kyle trask

2606
02:22:48,040 --> 02:22:51,640
Speaker 1: is gonna back him up. But even Todd Bulls, he said, look,

2607
02:22:51,680 --> 02:22:54,400
Speaker 1: we got about two million dollars in cap space as

2608
02:22:54,480 --> 02:22:57,160
Speaker 1: of last Friday morning. He said, we got to get

2609
02:22:57,200 --> 02:23:01,600
Speaker 1: into the cap. And then Toddles actually believe that anything

2610
02:23:01,720 --> 02:23:05,480
Speaker 1: that the Buccaneers would offer Lamar Jackson would basically, and

2611
02:23:05,560 --> 02:23:07,360
Speaker 1: I'll quote Todd Bowles, he said, it would be an

2612
02:23:07,440 --> 02:23:11,360
Speaker 1: insult to a great player like that. And Ron Rivera

2613
02:23:11,680 --> 02:23:14,080
Speaker 1: and we, as far as we know that Washington Commanders

2614
02:23:14,120 --> 02:23:17,879
Speaker 1: are off for sale, he said, quote, we honestly never

2615
02:23:18,040 --> 02:23:21,120
Speaker 1: even did consider Jackson. What they did do, though, was

2616
02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:25,279
Speaker 1: signed to Jacobe Brisette for eight million, and he'll compete

2617
02:23:25,320 --> 02:23:28,040
Speaker 1: with Sam Howe, who's coming off his rookie season. So

2618
02:23:28,160 --> 02:23:32,280
Speaker 1: that only leaves basically four teams that potentially make any

2619
02:23:32,360 --> 02:23:39,280
Speaker 1: sense for Lamar Jackson, Patriots, Colts, Texans, and Falcons. However,

2620
02:23:39,680 --> 02:23:43,760
Speaker 1: Kama none of them seemed to want him either. I mean,

2621
02:23:43,879 --> 02:23:46,760
Speaker 1: let's just let's look at the reality now. Even though

2622
02:23:47,320 --> 02:23:50,880
Speaker 1: neither Bill Belichick nor Robert Kraft, even though he got

2623
02:23:50,959 --> 02:23:53,920
Speaker 1: the craft got the text from Meek Mill, none of

2624
02:23:54,000 --> 02:23:56,760
Speaker 1: them have explicitly said no, we're not signing Lamar Jackson.

2625
02:23:57,680 --> 02:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Most people that I talked to, the consensus is is

2626
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:05,920
Speaker 1: that they believe it would be a significant surprise, because

2627
02:24:05,959 --> 02:24:08,560
Speaker 1: that would mean they're giving up on mac Jones, and

2628
02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:11,840
Speaker 1: they got mac Jones on a cheap contract, right around

2629
02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:14,440
Speaker 1: two million for twenty twenty three. And the fact that

2630
02:24:14,520 --> 02:24:16,720
Speaker 1: they could score any points at all with that knucklehead

2631
02:24:17,120 --> 02:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia with that pencil and is here calling plays.

2632
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:21,880
Speaker 1: That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.

2633
02:24:23,240 --> 02:24:25,600
Speaker 1: They might as well had Mickey the Dunce calling plays

2634
02:24:25,680 --> 02:24:27,560
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know how New England's survived that year.

2635
02:24:27,680 --> 02:24:30,240
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien will be much better, so I think New

2636
02:24:30,280 --> 02:24:33,480
Speaker 1: Englands will pass. Now. There may not be a team

2637
02:24:33,520 --> 02:24:35,960
Speaker 1: in the league that's more desperate for a quarterback than

2638
02:24:36,040 --> 02:24:40,120
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, and they've had two terrible seasons, but

2639
02:24:40,280 --> 02:24:42,600
Speaker 1: they have. And by the way, the Texans actually have

2640
02:24:42,720 --> 02:24:45,320
Speaker 1: two first round picks to play with, which is another

2641
02:24:45,400 --> 02:24:47,600
Speaker 1: part of this. If you pick up Lamar Jackson and

2642
02:24:47,760 --> 02:24:50,640
Speaker 1: you make that trade on the non exclusive arrangement, you're

2643
02:24:50,680 --> 02:24:52,600
Speaker 1: giving up two first round picks, you're gonna pay a

2644
02:24:52,640 --> 02:24:55,680
Speaker 1: massive annual salary, you're gonna compromise your draft capital, and

2645
02:24:55,720 --> 02:24:58,440
Speaker 1: you might be in sary cap hell. But the Texans

2646
02:24:58,480 --> 02:25:01,200
Speaker 1: are desperate for a quarterback. But apparently not that desperate,

2647
02:25:01,560 --> 02:25:03,600
Speaker 1: and they have a new coach, Damiko Ryans, who I

2648
02:25:03,640 --> 02:25:05,320
Speaker 1: think is going to do a very good job. He said, Yeah,

2649
02:25:05,320 --> 02:25:07,480
Speaker 1: we're looking at all options, but I think we'd rather

2650
02:25:07,600 --> 02:25:11,400
Speaker 1: draft a younger, cheaper again, cheaper quarterback with the number

2651
02:25:11,400 --> 02:25:13,840
Speaker 1: two pick. You get that guy four years thirty six

2652
02:25:13,920 --> 02:25:16,959
Speaker 1: million instead of four years, two hundred and fifty million,

2653
02:25:17,160 --> 02:25:19,640
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Five years, they're probably gonna

2654
02:25:19,640 --> 02:25:24,360
Speaker 1: get either Bryce Young or CJ. Stroud most likely. All right,

2655
02:25:24,560 --> 02:25:27,440
Speaker 1: that leaves the Colts. The Colts have played musical chairs

2656
02:25:27,480 --> 02:25:29,560
Speaker 1: with quarterback for four years and none of them have worked.

2657
02:25:30,840 --> 02:25:33,199
Speaker 1: And Peyton Manning ain't walk them through that door anymore.

2658
02:25:34,280 --> 02:25:36,200
Speaker 1: And it looks like the Colts are not leaning toward

2659
02:25:36,240 --> 02:25:39,080
Speaker 1: the draft as well. Maybe they've got their set set

2660
02:25:39,120 --> 02:25:41,320
Speaker 1: on Will Levis or Anthony Richardson. That's a story for

2661
02:25:41,400 --> 02:25:44,360
Speaker 1: a different day. But now Jim Russey, who's been a

2662
02:25:44,400 --> 02:25:46,600
Speaker 1: bit of a maverick, does a bit of an about face.

2663
02:25:46,680 --> 02:25:48,120
Speaker 1: He says, you know, I'm really looking at this as

2664
02:25:48,160 --> 02:25:51,320
Speaker 1: a great opportunity because if you have a rookie quarterback,

2665
02:25:51,360 --> 02:25:53,160
Speaker 1: you're going to have him on a rookie quarterback deal.

2666
02:25:53,640 --> 02:25:56,200
Speaker 1: You're going to have a chance for those years, three

2667
02:25:56,280 --> 02:25:58,960
Speaker 1: or four years to have those extra dollars to make

2668
02:25:59,040 --> 02:26:03,160
Speaker 1: your team. Finally, the Falcons, by the way, people thought

2669
02:26:03,160 --> 02:26:05,320
Speaker 1: they made sense. Remember how hard they went after John

2670
02:26:05,360 --> 02:26:09,040
Speaker 1: Watson about eighteen months ago. They got a terrible depth chart.

2671
02:26:09,600 --> 02:26:12,879
Speaker 1: They do have Desmond Ritter and they have Taylor Heineke.

2672
02:26:13,040 --> 02:26:14,560
Speaker 1: I think they're going to hitch their wagon to them.

2673
02:26:15,320 --> 02:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Jackson would have been popular, he'd beat Michael Vick two

2674
02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:20,480
Speaker 1: point oh most likely, they would have been instant favorites

2675
02:26:20,520 --> 02:26:23,120
Speaker 1: in the South. And Arthur Blank says, yeah, we're out

2676
02:26:23,160 --> 02:26:27,320
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. Lamar, And again Arthur Blank was very candid.

2677
02:26:27,560 --> 02:26:30,000
Speaker 1: He said at the fact that Lamar Jackson had missed

2678
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:32,480
Speaker 1: eleven games in the last two seasons, including the playoffs,

2679
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:36,360
Speaker 1: and they love what Desmond Ritter has brought so far.

2680
02:26:37,080 --> 02:26:41,760
Speaker 1: So again, you're finding situations where, hey, you might like

2681
02:26:41,920 --> 02:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, you might want Lamar Jackson. You certainly acknowledge

2682
02:26:45,240 --> 02:26:48,160
Speaker 1: he's the premier dual thread quarterback in the league, perhaps

2683
02:26:48,200 --> 02:26:51,480
Speaker 1: the most gifted, legitimate NFL dual thread quarterback. When he

2684
02:26:51,560 --> 02:26:54,720
Speaker 1: means he's not a run first dual threat like Justin Fields.

2685
02:26:54,800 --> 02:26:57,480
Speaker 1: Let's say Lamar can actually operate from the pocket, but

2686
02:26:58,360 --> 02:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's in the cards. Stay tuned. They

2687
02:27:02,040 --> 02:27:04,320
Speaker 1: have spoken where the alank it or not. There's the

2688
02:27:04,360 --> 02:27:05,960
Speaker 1: world that ought to be and the world it is,

2689
02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:07,760
Speaker 1: and this is the world it is not the world

2690
02:27:07,800 --> 02:27:11,680
Speaker 1: that ought to be. If you're Lamar Jackson again, stay tuned.

2691
02:27:12,240 --> 02:27:15,680
Speaker 1: Coming up Masters just a few hours away. Let's get

2692
02:27:15,760 --> 02:27:17,800
Speaker 1: you up to date. But first let's go back to

2693
02:27:17,879 --> 02:27:20,640
Speaker 1: our guy, Kevin Wire. Yeah, let's leave three hours to

2694
02:27:20,680 --> 02:27:23,560
Speaker 1: go until the resumption of the third round. And the

2695
02:27:23,680 --> 02:27:26,160
Speaker 1: reason why the third round needs to be resumed early

2696
02:27:26,280 --> 02:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Sundays because once again play was suspended on Saturday due

2697
02:27:29,800 --> 02:27:32,480
Speaker 1: to inclement weather. So they're going to continue the third

2698
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:35,200
Speaker 1: round early Sunday. Then they're gonna play the final round

2699
02:27:35,240 --> 02:27:37,879
Speaker 1: as soon as that concludes. And right now it's Brooks

2700
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:40,640
Speaker 1: keep cut in the league. He's thirteen under, four strokes

2701
02:27:40,680 --> 02:27:45,120
Speaker 1: ahead of John rom Sam Bennett, the amateur six under

2702
02:27:45,200 --> 02:27:49,320
Speaker 1: par heading in to the final day of play at

2703
02:27:49,400 --> 02:27:52,240
Speaker 1: Augusta National Tiger Woods, didn't make the cut. He's at

2704
02:27:52,320 --> 02:27:54,680
Speaker 1: nine over par and with him making the cut, he's

2705
02:27:54,720 --> 02:27:58,200
Speaker 1: done it. In twenty twenty three consecutive massive tournament in

2706
02:27:58,320 --> 02:28:01,279
Speaker 1: which he has played. That is a new record. Justin

2707
02:28:01,360 --> 02:28:05,000
Speaker 1: Thomas missing the cut. Dustin Johnson is another notable golfer.

2708
02:28:05,080 --> 02:28:09,720
Speaker 1: He is five over par. The NBA investigating them Dallas

2709
02:28:09,840 --> 02:28:13,160
Speaker 1: Mavericks for sitting players on Friday night and then proceeding

2710
02:28:13,240 --> 02:28:17,400
Speaker 1: to lose and eliminate themselves from playoff contention. They did

2711
02:28:17,480 --> 02:28:20,960
Speaker 1: have a top ten protected draft pick that they dealt away,

2712
02:28:21,120 --> 02:28:24,560
Speaker 1: so the NBA of taking a look at that. The

2713
02:28:24,720 --> 02:28:29,119
Speaker 1: NBA regular season ending on Sunday, Western Conference the play

2714
02:28:29,200 --> 02:28:32,720
Speaker 1: in tournament not yet decided. The Clippers, if they beat

2715
02:28:32,800 --> 02:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the Suns, will avoid it and it'll be the Lakers

2716
02:28:35,920 --> 02:28:38,560
Speaker 1: in that seven spot they'll be. The Lakers are against

2717
02:28:38,600 --> 02:28:44,800
Speaker 1: the Jazz on Sunday. College hockey the Frozen four Quinnipiac

2718
02:28:45,160 --> 02:28:49,000
Speaker 1: capturing the nc Double A men's hockey title with an

2719
02:28:49,040 --> 02:28:51,680
Speaker 1: overtime goal against number one seed in Minnesota. The final

2720
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:53,960
Speaker 1: score in that one three to two. Major League Baseball,

2721
02:28:53,959 --> 02:28:57,080
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays still undefeated. They moved to eight

2722
02:28:57,160 --> 02:29:00,280
Speaker 1: and no, the best start in franchise history, after they

2723
02:29:00,320 --> 02:29:02,960
Speaker 1: shut out the Oakland Athletics eleven to nothing. Red Sox

2724
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:06,120
Speaker 1: beat the Tigers fourteen five Cubs over the Rangers ten

2725
02:29:06,160 --> 02:29:09,080
Speaker 1: to three. The Phillies, with three runs in the ninth,

2726
02:29:09,160 --> 02:29:10,959
Speaker 1: edge out the Reds thirty to two. The Royal score

2727
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:12,440
Speaker 1: on a wild pitch of the ninth to beat the

2728
02:29:12,520 --> 02:29:15,320
Speaker 1: Giants six to five. The Mets beat the Marlins five

2729
02:29:15,400 --> 02:29:17,640
Speaker 1: to two, the Angels beat the Blue Jays nine to

2730
02:29:17,760 --> 02:29:20,240
Speaker 1: five behind a three run home run from Mike Trout,

2731
02:29:20,280 --> 02:29:22,400
Speaker 1: and the Diamondbacks come from behind to beat the Dodgers

2732
02:29:22,600 --> 02:29:25,400
Speaker 1: twelve eight. Back over to you, Bernie, all right, like

2733
02:29:25,520 --> 02:29:28,480
Speaker 1: you said, Kevin, the Masters resuming was Brooks. Kepco is

2734
02:29:28,480 --> 02:29:31,080
Speaker 1: only on whole seven. He's the favorite to win it.

2735
02:29:31,640 --> 02:29:35,200
Speaker 1: He's one ten. He also plays on the liv Golf Tour.

2736
02:29:37,680 --> 02:29:41,480
Speaker 1: He's got a four whole lead over John Ram who's

2737
02:29:41,879 --> 02:29:45,200
Speaker 1: one sixty. And these are two tremendous players. I mean,

2738
02:29:45,320 --> 02:29:47,160
Speaker 1: I think Rom would have to rip off a bunch

2739
02:29:47,160 --> 02:29:49,440
Speaker 1: of birdies in a row and Kepco would have to

2740
02:29:49,520 --> 02:29:52,880
Speaker 1: screw the pooch. I don't see that happening. I love

2741
02:29:52,920 --> 02:29:54,640
Speaker 1: how you brought up Sam Bennett. You could have got

2742
02:29:54,720 --> 02:29:58,440
Speaker 1: him at two thousand and one before the tournament starts.

2743
02:29:58,520 --> 02:30:00,480
Speaker 1: Now he's down to forty to one, he's in third place,

2744
02:30:00,520 --> 02:30:03,400
Speaker 1: seven shots back do I think he's gonna catch anybody, know,

2745
02:30:04,120 --> 02:30:06,760
Speaker 1: but what a great story. Victor Hovlan also hanging around

2746
02:30:06,800 --> 02:30:09,720
Speaker 1: Patrick kent Ley and I would just say this when

2747
02:30:09,760 --> 02:30:13,600
Speaker 1: you put Brooks Keepka in this situation here, what I

2748
02:30:13,720 --> 02:30:17,640
Speaker 1: find fascinating is that this is a guy up and coming.

2749
02:30:18,280 --> 02:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Who if if he hangs on to win this Masters,

2750
02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:26,039
Speaker 1: what is that his fifth sixth major now? And he's young,

2751
02:30:26,320 --> 02:30:29,480
Speaker 1: he well relatively he's thirty two, but he's in his prime,

2752
02:30:30,280 --> 02:30:32,840
Speaker 1: and you know, you could be looking at double digits

2753
02:30:32,840 --> 02:30:36,760
Speaker 1: here the next few years. What's also interesting, you know,

2754
02:30:36,959 --> 02:30:39,280
Speaker 1: this is the real backstory. He plays on the LIV Tour.

2755
02:30:39,320 --> 02:30:42,560
Speaker 1: He won the tournament last week in Orlando, and interestingly enough,

2756
02:30:42,600 --> 02:30:46,840
Speaker 1: the purse at the at the Masters this week. A tradition,

2757
02:30:47,480 --> 02:30:49,920
Speaker 1: well pretty much like every other everyone place has tradition, right,

2758
02:30:50,200 --> 02:30:51,960
Speaker 1: But I've been there. I've been in Magnolia Lane. I

2759
02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:55,760
Speaker 1: walked to walk the course in nineteen ninety nine. It's

2760
02:30:55,840 --> 02:30:57,760
Speaker 1: it's it's a great bucket list things for people to do.

2761
02:30:57,840 --> 02:31:00,160
Speaker 1: It's very undulating. You better bring your a game. Just

2762
02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:02,880
Speaker 1: walking around you'll wipe yourself out. But the bottom line

2763
02:31:02,959 --> 02:31:07,720
Speaker 1: is this, here's an irony that Brooks Kepco won his

2764
02:31:07,920 --> 02:31:11,480
Speaker 1: tournament last week in Orlando. The Live tournament won four

2765
02:31:11,520 --> 02:31:15,520
Speaker 1: million dollars. The purse was twenty five million. Whoever wins

2766
02:31:15,560 --> 02:31:18,680
Speaker 1: the Masters and gets the green jacket this year, you're

2767
02:31:18,720 --> 02:31:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna win three point two million. The purses eighteen, which

2768
02:31:20,959 --> 02:31:23,560
Speaker 1: is highest ever one thing the Live Tour has done.

2769
02:31:23,600 --> 02:31:24,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not sticking off for the Live Tour, so

2770
02:31:25,080 --> 02:31:26,920
Speaker 1: knock it off. Haters, don't. Don't come at me like

2771
02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm an agent for the Live Tour. I just report

2772
02:31:29,600 --> 02:31:32,040
Speaker 1: things as I see them. They've brought some things to

2773
02:31:32,640 --> 02:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the PGA, like more money, So let's see see how

2774
02:31:36,080 --> 02:31:38,760
Speaker 1: this plays out. It'll be interesting how the media spends it.

2775
02:31:38,920 --> 02:31:41,600
Speaker 1: If Brooks Kepka, a live guy, wins the Masters, it's

2776
02:31:41,640 --> 02:31:44,600
Speaker 1: not a PGA event. And the reason I bring that

2777
02:31:44,720 --> 02:31:47,160
Speaker 1: up is because the live golfers are prohibited from playing

2778
02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:49,080
Speaker 1: PGA events and that's going to be argued in court

2779
02:31:49,160 --> 02:31:51,440
Speaker 1: late this year, and believe me, we will be covering it.

2780
02:31:51,600 --> 02:31:54,480
Speaker 1: But should be a lot of fun. The weather has

2781
02:31:54,480 --> 02:31:57,360
Speaker 1: been brutal, You're supposed to have a decent day. Looks

2782
02:31:57,400 --> 02:32:00,440
Speaker 1: like after about two o'clock Eastern it's gonna be fairly Sonny.

2783
02:32:01,000 --> 02:32:02,959
Speaker 1: It should be good scoring. We'll see if they finish

2784
02:32:03,400 --> 02:32:06,680
Speaker 1: the tournament on Sunday, the last time the tournament was

2785
02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:09,000
Speaker 1: decided on a Monday. I gotta go back to nineteen

2786
02:32:09,040 --> 02:32:13,000
Speaker 1: eighty three when Sevy Balasteros won the whole thing. Coming up,

2787
02:32:13,560 --> 02:32:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a movie review. Saw the movie Air,

2788
02:32:16,320 --> 02:32:20,640
Speaker 1: Ben Damon Bett, Matt try that again in English? Last time.

2789
02:32:20,640 --> 02:32:22,840
Speaker 1: I run a tongue from that place. Ben Affleck and

2790
02:32:22,920 --> 02:32:26,360
Speaker 1: Matt Damon Man, they got it right. I know a

2791
02:32:26,440 --> 02:32:30,080
Speaker 1: lot about this story. I've actually met Sonny Vicario. It's

2792
02:32:30,120 --> 02:32:34,280
Speaker 1: a fabulous piece of storytelling, and I want to share

2793
02:32:34,280 --> 02:32:37,039
Speaker 1: it with you because not only is it an enjoyable

2794
02:32:37,160 --> 02:32:40,760
Speaker 1: evening and a fabulous source of entertainment to see the

2795
02:32:40,840 --> 02:32:44,160
Speaker 1: movie Air, but there are multiple life lessons coming out

2796
02:32:44,200 --> 02:32:46,960
Speaker 1: of that movie that I will share with you. I'm

2797
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Bernie Fraderer, coming to your life from the Las Vegas

2806
02:33:29,840 --> 02:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Patrick sweeka back to back night's good job, Pat, and

2807
02:33:32,720 --> 02:33:35,640
Speaker 1: for Ethan last night and looks like you'd be with

2808
02:33:35,720 --> 02:33:39,560
Speaker 1: us on Saturday Night's outstanding job of course, Kevin Wyirt

2809
02:33:39,600 --> 02:33:42,160
Speaker 1: on the updates, and both those guys are colorful work

2810
02:33:42,200 --> 02:33:45,680
Speaker 1: on brand new Fool and What My Name? And of

2811
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:51,600
Speaker 1: course Mark Ramsey, our technical producer at outstanding Job tonight.

2812
02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:55,199
Speaker 1: Mark guys could not do the job without all the teamwork.

2813
02:33:57,920 --> 02:34:00,720
Speaker 1: Saturday was April eighth, and it was the forty nine

2814
02:34:00,800 --> 02:34:04,040
Speaker 1: year anniversary of Hank Aaron hitting home run number seven

2815
02:34:04,200 --> 02:34:08,000
Speaker 1: fifteen to pass Babe Ruth and I gave Hank an

2816
02:34:08,040 --> 02:34:11,840
Speaker 1: homage in my Friday night show, and I want to

2817
02:34:11,879 --> 02:34:14,360
Speaker 1: do it again because it allows me to tie it

2818
02:34:14,440 --> 02:34:16,880
Speaker 1: into a larger subject matter or check that it's not

2819
02:34:16,959 --> 02:34:19,320
Speaker 1: necessarily larger subject matter, but it's the subject matter I

2820
02:34:19,360 --> 02:34:22,360
Speaker 1: want to delve into. Because I saw the movie Air,

2821
02:34:22,959 --> 02:34:25,080
Speaker 1: which is the story of the pursuit of Michael Jordan's

2822
02:34:25,320 --> 02:34:28,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Viccarroll to join on with Nike, and back in

2823
02:34:28,879 --> 02:34:31,160
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, Nike was a distant third. They weren't

2824
02:34:31,160 --> 02:34:33,280
Speaker 1: like they were now. They were distant third behind Converse

2825
02:34:33,360 --> 02:34:37,880
Speaker 1: and Anididas. And I happened to spend an afternoon with

2826
02:34:37,959 --> 02:34:39,800
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron back in nineteen ninety one. I was part

2827
02:34:39,800 --> 02:34:42,680
Speaker 1: of the marketing firm that produced and promoted the twelfth

2828
02:34:42,800 --> 02:34:45,440
Speaker 1: National Sports Collector's Convention, and I found Hank to be

2829
02:34:45,480 --> 02:34:49,960
Speaker 1: an elegant man. He was terrific, and we talked about

2830
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:54,040
Speaker 1: the indignities he suffered while chasing Babe Ruth. We are

2831
02:34:54,160 --> 02:34:58,080
Speaker 1: talking about the hate mail, the racial slurs, the death

2832
02:34:58,120 --> 02:35:01,200
Speaker 1: threats that came out on a daily basis, and Hank said, well,

2833
02:35:01,240 --> 02:35:02,440
Speaker 1: that's not really the worst of what I had to

2834
02:35:02,520 --> 02:35:04,480
Speaker 1: deal with in my life. When I was in the

2835
02:35:04,879 --> 02:35:07,879
Speaker 1: low minor leagues in the early fifties, they were going

2836
02:35:07,959 --> 02:35:09,720
Speaker 1: through I think it was Birmingham, and it was one

2837
02:35:09,720 --> 02:35:11,640
Speaker 1: of those rare times where the black players got to

2838
02:35:11,720 --> 02:35:13,879
Speaker 1: eat with the white players. So we finished up our

2839
02:35:13,959 --> 02:35:16,760
Speaker 1: meal and as we started to file out headed toward

2840
02:35:16,800 --> 02:35:19,560
Speaker 1: the bus, they scooped up our dishes and we heard

2841
02:35:19,600 --> 02:35:23,000
Speaker 1: them smashing them against the wall, and Hank Karon was

2842
02:35:23,080 --> 02:35:25,920
Speaker 1: very pointing. He said, you know dogs had eating off

2843
02:35:25,959 --> 02:35:29,640
Speaker 1: those dishes, it would have washed them. And he could

2844
02:35:29,680 --> 02:35:32,000
Speaker 1: still hear the sound of those dishes smashing against the

2845
02:35:32,080 --> 02:35:37,560
Speaker 1: wall forty years later. That was a genuine indignity. But

2846
02:35:37,720 --> 02:35:46,120
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron prevailed, and Hank Aaron proved that failure, rejection, resistance,

2847
02:35:46,959 --> 02:35:51,560
Speaker 1: temporary defeat is a part of the byproduct of achieving

2848
02:35:51,600 --> 02:35:53,240
Speaker 1: whatever it is you want to achieve in life. And

2849
02:35:53,360 --> 02:35:57,080
Speaker 1: the movie Air spells this out so eloquently. And it's

2850
02:35:57,120 --> 02:36:00,520
Speaker 1: not just a great movie that tells a fab story,

2851
02:36:01,160 --> 02:36:05,480
Speaker 1: a true story. It's also a situation where it's an

2852
02:36:05,520 --> 02:36:10,000
Speaker 1: homage to nineteen eighty four, the music to close the movies,

2853
02:36:10,040 --> 02:36:12,920
Speaker 1: the commercials, the vibe. You'll get a kick out of it.

2854
02:36:13,200 --> 02:36:15,040
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a period piece, but it tells

2855
02:36:15,040 --> 02:36:21,959
Speaker 1: a larger story. And what makes it so compelling are

2856
02:36:22,040 --> 02:36:26,360
Speaker 1: the legitimate, genuine life lessons that it portrays. Now, look,

2857
02:36:26,360 --> 02:36:30,760
Speaker 1: I come from a sport where there's failure every fifteen seconds.

2858
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:34,560
Speaker 1: The picture fails to throw a strike, the hitter fails

2859
02:36:34,600 --> 02:36:37,440
Speaker 1: to make contact, the fielder fails to make a play,

2860
02:36:37,560 --> 02:36:40,960
Speaker 1: the hitter fails to reach base, and it repeats for

2861
02:36:41,080 --> 02:36:44,160
Speaker 1: about three hours. Well, I used to repeat for three hours,

2862
02:36:44,160 --> 02:36:46,119
Speaker 1: and I'll repeat for about two hours and thirty eight minutes.

2863
02:36:46,160 --> 02:36:49,920
Speaker 1: But you get the picture until someone finally wins, which

2864
02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:54,320
Speaker 1: teaches us two things. One failure, he's an integral part

2865
02:36:54,360 --> 02:36:57,879
Speaker 1: of success in life, and that failure is never final.

2866
02:37:00,120 --> 02:37:03,720
Speaker 1: You've got the Hank Aaron achievement, juxtaposed that with baseball

2867
02:37:03,760 --> 02:37:06,440
Speaker 1: in general, which teaches his failure. By the way, one

2868
02:37:06,720 --> 02:37:11,800
Speaker 1: neat sidelight of this whole Error Movie saga. Matt Damon

2869
02:37:11,879 --> 02:37:14,040
Speaker 1: pointed this out the other night. You know, Jordan only

2870
02:37:14,080 --> 02:37:16,360
Speaker 1: wore two numbers his whole career. He wore number forty

2871
02:37:16,400 --> 02:37:19,000
Speaker 1: five and he wore number twenty three. What was the

2872
02:37:19,160 --> 02:37:24,480
Speaker 1: day that the Error Movie was released? Four five twenty three?

2873
02:37:25,040 --> 02:37:29,160
Speaker 1: It was released Thursday April fifth or Wednesday April fifth.

2874
02:37:29,200 --> 02:37:33,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me just a little side note there. So as

2875
02:37:33,920 --> 02:37:38,440
Speaker 1: the movie continues, you realize that in order to make

2876
02:37:38,480 --> 02:37:40,680
Speaker 1: this happen, it wasn't just the fact that they were

2877
02:37:40,879 --> 02:37:47,080
Speaker 1: constantly Sonny Vicarro and Nike constantly faced with rejection and

2878
02:37:47,920 --> 02:37:52,520
Speaker 1: setbacks and resistance and you know, speed bumps and obstruction

2879
02:37:53,440 --> 02:37:56,920
Speaker 1: one after another. And it wears on Matt Damon's face,

2880
02:37:57,000 --> 02:37:59,920
Speaker 1: who plays Sonny Vicarro, But he knows in his heart,

2881
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:02,680
Speaker 1: he feels he's got something here. He knows it can

2882
02:38:02,760 --> 02:38:05,480
Speaker 1: change the world. He knows it, you feel it. The

2883
02:38:05,640 --> 02:38:09,320
Speaker 1: movie does that, but he couldn't do it alone, which

2884
02:38:09,400 --> 02:38:12,040
Speaker 1: leads to the other life lesson that this movie is

2885
02:38:12,560 --> 02:38:16,280
Speaker 1: I believe so effective in sharing, and that is whatever

2886
02:38:16,440 --> 02:38:20,160
Speaker 1: success we have in this life, it will be done

2887
02:38:20,360 --> 02:38:23,640
Speaker 1: within the framework of a team. No one does it

2888
02:38:23,720 --> 02:38:29,720
Speaker 1: by themselves, even alone a ranger hat tanto. And so

2889
02:38:30,680 --> 02:38:34,480
Speaker 1: this movie, which obviously has a beginning Millanin tells the

2890
02:38:34,560 --> 02:38:38,600
Speaker 1: story and even though you know the outcome, you know

2891
02:38:38,840 --> 02:38:42,720
Speaker 1: the outcome, there is so much tension filled drama and uncertainty.

2892
02:38:43,200 --> 02:38:47,000
Speaker 1: And I will tell you the scenes between Viola Davis,

2893
02:38:47,400 --> 02:38:50,400
Speaker 1: who plays Michael Jordan's mom, and Matt Damon, who plays

2894
02:38:50,400 --> 02:38:55,320
Speaker 1: Sony Vicarre, are absolutely electric. You will feel him. Which

2895
02:38:55,440 --> 02:38:58,520
Speaker 1: is another side note of the story. Because when Ben

2896
02:38:58,640 --> 02:39:01,120
Speaker 1: Affleck Matt Damon is Saturday to do this movie, the

2897
02:39:01,200 --> 02:39:03,560
Speaker 1: first person they approach was Michael Jordan. They were fascinated

2898
02:39:03,600 --> 02:39:07,200
Speaker 1: with the story and there'd been a script submitted and

2899
02:39:08,080 --> 02:39:10,240
Speaker 1: Ben said we'd better approach Michael Jordan to make sure

2900
02:39:10,240 --> 02:39:13,680
Speaker 1: he's okay with this. Jordan's signed off on it right away.

2901
02:39:14,680 --> 02:39:16,960
Speaker 1: But there's one thing Jordan said, because his mother was

2902
02:39:17,080 --> 02:39:20,480
Speaker 1: very His mother, Dolores is a very important cog in

2903
02:39:20,560 --> 02:39:23,000
Speaker 1: his life, and you will see in the movie, which

2904
02:39:23,040 --> 02:39:26,560
Speaker 1: you probably already know, just if you have any general

2905
02:39:26,640 --> 02:39:29,200
Speaker 1: knowledge of Michael Jordan and the reverence he has for

2906
02:39:29,280 --> 02:39:35,120
Speaker 1: his mother, he said. Michael Jordan told Ben Affleck, Viola

2907
02:39:35,200 --> 02:39:38,400
Speaker 1: Davis has to play my mom end of story. She

2908
02:39:38,480 --> 02:39:40,560
Speaker 1: has to play my mom. More, there's no movie. So

2909
02:39:40,800 --> 02:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck flies back. He sits down with Matt Damon

2910
02:39:43,640 --> 02:39:45,880
Speaker 1: and says, I got some good news and some bad news. Says,

2911
02:39:45,920 --> 02:39:48,320
Speaker 1: what's the good news? Jordan's in he likes the movie.

2912
02:39:48,440 --> 02:39:51,320
Speaker 1: What's the bad news? No movie unless we get Viola Davis,

2913
02:39:52,240 --> 02:39:54,840
Speaker 1: and Damon calls great, that's like every team wanting Michael

2914
02:39:54,879 --> 02:39:59,080
Speaker 1: Jordan on their basketball team. But fortunately, obviously Viola Davis agreed.

2915
02:39:59,440 --> 02:40:01,480
Speaker 1: And one of them most fascinating things about this movie,

2916
02:40:01,520 --> 02:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, even though you know the ending, the

2917
02:40:04,120 --> 02:40:07,960
Speaker 1: tension and build up and drama is so phenomenal. The

2918
02:40:08,040 --> 02:40:10,400
Speaker 1: way they tell the story, you feel it and you

2919
02:40:10,480 --> 02:40:12,640
Speaker 1: have you find save yourself geez, I wonder if they're

2920
02:40:12,640 --> 02:40:15,959
Speaker 1: gonna get this deal, even though you know they did. Now,

2921
02:40:16,000 --> 02:40:20,120
Speaker 1: you can't say that about every movie, all right. If

2922
02:40:20,160 --> 02:40:23,560
Speaker 1: you saw the movie Argo that Ben Afflett made about

2923
02:40:23,600 --> 02:40:25,560
Speaker 1: ten years ago, which is the true story of getting

2924
02:40:25,560 --> 02:40:28,880
Speaker 1: the hostages out of Iran and how Canada helped some people,

2925
02:40:28,959 --> 02:40:33,680
Speaker 1: and they almost didn't get out in time, and you

2926
02:40:33,760 --> 02:40:35,800
Speaker 1: see the plane taking off and at one point someone says,

2927
02:40:35,800 --> 02:40:38,240
Speaker 1: I hope they make it again. You know the ending.

2928
02:40:38,280 --> 02:40:40,240
Speaker 1: He pulled it off. I'll tell you when one movie

2929
02:40:40,280 --> 02:40:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they pulled off. I'll never forget the

2930
02:40:43,480 --> 02:40:45,640
Speaker 1: very first radio show I ever had that I produced,

2931
02:40:45,720 --> 02:40:50,120
Speaker 1: created at WTK and Ann Arbor back in nineteen ninety six.

2932
02:40:50,920 --> 02:40:52,600
Speaker 1: At that point, I've been on radio two years, but

2933
02:40:52,640 --> 02:40:54,120
Speaker 1: they hadn't had my own show. It's called A View

2934
02:40:54,160 --> 02:40:58,480
Speaker 1: from the Cheap Seats. And as I got into the

2935
02:40:58,840 --> 02:41:01,800
Speaker 1: late ninety six and I signed on in February ninety six,

2936
02:41:02,760 --> 02:41:05,359
Speaker 1: what was the rage then? It was he was Titanic,

2937
02:41:05,600 --> 02:41:10,600
Speaker 1: right with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and I struggled

2938
02:41:10,600 --> 02:41:12,000
Speaker 1: with that. I didn't want to see it. I just

2939
02:41:12,800 --> 02:41:15,480
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see it. I didn't care. Everybody

2940
02:41:15,640 --> 02:41:19,560
Speaker 1: was raving about it, the soundtrack, It's gonna win Academy awards, YadA, yadia.

2941
02:41:19,600 --> 02:41:21,160
Speaker 1: How long is it? Three hours off? Forget? I don't

2942
02:41:21,160 --> 02:41:24,720
Speaker 1: want to see the damn thing, right. So finally, after

2943
02:41:24,800 --> 02:41:26,720
Speaker 1: I ended up winning a couple of Academy awards, I

2944
02:41:27,000 --> 02:41:30,000
Speaker 1: relented and I saw it, and then I went back

2945
02:41:30,040 --> 02:41:31,520
Speaker 1: on the radio. I had to men, I saw it,

2946
02:41:31,800 --> 02:41:34,800
Speaker 1: and what were people saying? They were basically seeing Wait

2947
02:41:34,840 --> 02:41:36,240
Speaker 1: a minute, Bernie, I thought you said you were going

2948
02:41:36,320 --> 02:41:38,440
Speaker 1: to see the movie. Of course, you know me. I've

2949
02:41:38,440 --> 02:41:40,600
Speaker 1: got to reply with a smart ass laugh line. I said, well,

2950
02:41:40,640 --> 02:41:42,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't, but you know, I didn't think the boat

2951
02:41:42,879 --> 02:41:46,039
Speaker 1: was going to sink. Again. That was my way of saying,

2952
02:41:46,120 --> 02:41:48,400
Speaker 1: all right, maybe i'd see something new, but I didn't.

2953
02:41:48,400 --> 02:41:50,240
Speaker 1: That movie board the hell out of me. But I'm

2954
02:41:50,240 --> 02:41:53,040
Speaker 1: glad you all liked it. Okay, don't go by me

2955
02:41:53,160 --> 02:41:55,360
Speaker 1: on Titanic, but go by me on their of the movie.

2956
02:41:55,840 --> 02:41:58,440
Speaker 1: And I get it. Not everybody has to agree in everything. Hey,

2957
02:41:58,760 --> 02:42:00,960
Speaker 1: figure this one out. I'm Italian, I'm calibras. I don't

2958
02:42:00,959 --> 02:42:04,120
Speaker 1: like olives. Some people like olives, A lot of people

2959
02:42:04,120 --> 02:42:06,160
Speaker 1: almost like olives. Go to the grocery store. There's cans

2960
02:42:06,160 --> 02:42:08,240
Speaker 1: and cans and rows and rolls of olives. They don't

2961
02:42:08,280 --> 02:42:11,640
Speaker 1: need my money, but I will tell you they Hank

2962
02:42:11,680 --> 02:42:15,039
Speaker 1: Aaron story to me rang true Saturday, forty nine year anniversary,

2963
02:42:15,480 --> 02:42:19,760
Speaker 1: and the indignities he suffered, the hate mail, the racial slurs,

2964
02:42:19,800 --> 02:42:21,760
Speaker 1: a death threats now send of the karatt didn't get those,

2965
02:42:21,800 --> 02:42:25,440
Speaker 1: but you feel there's a tangible, visceral feel the setbacks

2966
02:42:25,520 --> 02:42:28,760
Speaker 1: that these folks, you know, experienced during this movie to

2967
02:42:28,879 --> 02:42:31,520
Speaker 1: get where they want to go. You see the finished product.

2968
02:42:31,600 --> 02:42:33,840
Speaker 1: That's what happens in life. Someone's really good at what

2969
02:42:33,920 --> 02:42:39,760
Speaker 1: they do, an organization achieves great success, and you see

2970
02:42:39,800 --> 02:42:42,560
Speaker 1: the finished product, but you don't see the journey necessarily

2971
02:42:42,640 --> 02:42:45,800
Speaker 1: that they had to travel to get there, and what

2972
02:42:45,959 --> 02:42:48,920
Speaker 1: speed bumps and how against all odds things might look

2973
02:42:48,920 --> 02:42:51,480
Speaker 1: and you manage still to pull it off. That's what

2974
02:42:51,640 --> 02:42:55,720
Speaker 1: this movie brings to you in true living color. So

2975
02:42:55,840 --> 02:42:57,720
Speaker 1: you've got the Hank Aaron saga, which I think is

2976
02:42:57,760 --> 02:43:01,680
Speaker 1: a very apropos on a couple that with the fact

2977
02:43:01,720 --> 02:43:04,400
Speaker 1: that baseball is bored in and of itself failure every

2978
02:43:04,440 --> 02:43:08,879
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds. Whatever success we aspire to have in this lifetime. Yes,

2979
02:43:09,320 --> 02:43:11,920
Speaker 1: it will be done within the framework of a team

2980
02:43:12,200 --> 02:43:14,200
Speaker 1: know it by it, does it by themselves, even lone

2981
02:43:14,280 --> 02:43:17,760
Speaker 1: Ranger at Tonto. And even though I knew the end

2982
02:43:17,800 --> 02:43:21,680
Speaker 1: of the story, it created such incredible tension that you

2983
02:43:21,760 --> 02:43:25,960
Speaker 1: weren't sure. So what's the immoral here? Once again, the

2984
02:43:26,160 --> 02:43:29,320
Speaker 1: power of story. You don't see this as much in

2985
02:43:29,400 --> 02:43:31,760
Speaker 1: Hollywood as you used to. This is the kind of

2986
02:43:31,920 --> 02:43:35,400
Speaker 1: movie that Hollywood needs to continue to make. And the yes,

2987
02:43:35,480 --> 02:43:38,680
Speaker 1: it's a feel good movie. A lot of folks they

2988
02:43:38,920 --> 02:43:43,360
Speaker 1: raved about Top Gun last year, as did I because

2989
02:43:43,440 --> 02:43:45,840
Speaker 1: you felt good leaving the movie. And that's those are

2990
02:43:45,879 --> 02:43:48,120
Speaker 1: the types of movies Tom Cruise wants to make. He

2991
02:43:48,240 --> 02:43:54,360
Speaker 1: wants the audience leaving feeling good. This is a true story. Look,

2992
02:43:55,520 --> 02:43:57,640
Speaker 1: Tip and Neal said it best. There's nothing like a story,

2993
02:43:57,720 --> 02:43:59,760
Speaker 1: especially if they have they added value of being true.

2994
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:04,920
Speaker 1: And I've said it a man times. Give me a fact,

2995
02:44:05,920 --> 02:44:08,560
Speaker 1: I'll learn it. Tell me the truth and I'll believe it.

2996
02:44:09,200 --> 02:44:11,720
Speaker 1: But share a great story and it lives in my

2997
02:44:11,840 --> 02:44:15,720
Speaker 1: heart the rest of my life. You will see as

2998
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:22,760
Speaker 1: this movie progresses that the human spirit the ability and

2999
02:44:22,879 --> 02:44:26,520
Speaker 1: the power to dream and to follow through on your convictions.

3000
02:44:28,480 --> 02:44:31,800
Speaker 1: Will sustain you and one of the you know, I'm

3001
02:44:31,840 --> 02:44:34,760
Speaker 1: not giving anything away, and by the way, you're not

3002
02:44:34,840 --> 02:44:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna There is a gentleman who plays Michael Jordan. You'll

3003
02:44:37,080 --> 02:44:38,840
Speaker 1: never see his face. This is not a spoiler alert

3004
02:44:38,879 --> 02:44:42,240
Speaker 1: in anyway. It's not that big of a deal. Both

3005
02:44:42,360 --> 02:44:44,840
Speaker 1: Affleck and Damon felt that there is no one that

3006
02:44:44,879 --> 02:44:47,320
Speaker 1: could do Michael Jordan justice. Now his dad, James looks

3007
02:44:47,360 --> 02:44:49,840
Speaker 1: just like him, and Viola Davis was fabulous. But you

3008
02:44:49,959 --> 02:44:52,000
Speaker 1: see Jordan twice in the movie, but it's always the

3009
02:44:52,040 --> 02:44:53,760
Speaker 1: back of his head and he only has one line

3010
02:44:54,360 --> 02:44:56,960
Speaker 1: and you'll hear what it is. I can't recommend it

3011
02:44:57,080 --> 02:44:59,520
Speaker 1: enough again, tell me a great story. It lives in

3012
02:44:59,560 --> 02:45:01,360
Speaker 1: my heart, the rested in my life, especially if it

3013
02:45:01,400 --> 02:45:03,200
Speaker 1: has the added value of being true. Air of the

3014
02:45:03,320 --> 02:45:06,880
Speaker 1: movie will give you that feel good feeling that you

3015
02:45:06,959 --> 02:45:09,800
Speaker 1: haven't had quite a while in the movies, and it

3016
02:45:09,840 --> 02:45:12,920
Speaker 1: will show you how they did really change the world. No, Lie,

3017
02:45:13,080 --> 02:45:14,560
Speaker 1: it's going to do it for the Bernie Frawner Show.

3018
02:45:14,640 --> 02:45:17,480
Speaker 1: See you next Friday and eleven. Keep it locked up next.

3019
02:45:17,800 --> 02:45:19,640
Speaker 1: Andy Furman and Chris Plank
