Have 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: you been watching the Olympics? You know, whether it be 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: Jesse Owens in nineteen thirty six, or the Miracle and 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: Ice hockey team in nineteen eighty, or perhaps Tanya Harding 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: Nancy Kerrigan in nineteen ninety four. Every so often the 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: Olympics feature a singular historic event that ends up being 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: very noteworthy, talked about for decades because it was unique, 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: and you have I had to know the backstory and 16 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: the expectations and the psychodynamic going in. You had to 17 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: know the drama and understand what the drama would be. 18 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: We almost had one Thursday, almost the USA Serbia basketball 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 2: game was in a manner of speaking, one for the ages. 20 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: But I say almost because down the road they'll look 21 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: at the box score they'll look at the final score. 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 2: Most folks won't remember the details, but I will. There 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: are close games and then there are games so dramatic 24 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,279 Speaker 2: enough that if you have that goofy rain Man memory 25 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: like I do, you're gonna remember this for a long time. 26 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: The Team USA went over Serbia I think belongs in 27 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: that category, and why only because of the last eight 28 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: and a half minutes. Simple in the fourth quarter, Serbia 29 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: was all of nine from three point land. Meanwhile, Lebron, 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: Steph jol Embiid and Katie couldn't miss. It was the 31 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: essence of clutch see for three quarters. I'll call it again. 32 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: It was a semi final matchup, which folks who've been 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: there say it's often more pressure packed than the actual 34 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 2: gold medal game itself. So this matchup, which was a 35 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: semi final matchup, looked like it was potentially going to 36 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: be a bad chapter in American basketball history. Paige Sergey Belloff, Okay, 37 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: google it. Nothing was really working for Team USA and 38 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: Bogdan Boganovitch had turned into a monster. Maybe the most 39 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: talented roster in American Olympic history was crashing out badly. 40 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: By those are not my words. Somebody else's words. Don't 41 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: get me started about comparing this to the Dream Team 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: or I'm gonna you know, your first in line for 43 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: front of bot me. But this talented team, because they 44 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: are talented. Well, they were down seventeen points at one juncture. 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: Why why did that happen? No one's talking about why 46 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: that happened. Well, hey, how about giving Serbia a little credit. 47 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: Their half court defense was terrific. Their emotion and ball 48 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: movement were terrific. You would say men's basketball is not 49 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: a team. They're merely a collection of individuals. That's a fact. 50 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: But as I said, all along, that's all they need 51 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: to be. That's all they've needed to be. They're ten 52 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: and oh they haven't lost the game. They they feature 53 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: as a group the most prolific run and jump athletes 54 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: on the planet and frankly, pound for pound, the most 55 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: skillful basketball players on the planet. 56 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: You know. 57 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Chick hern was once asked would Michael Jordan beat Magic 58 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: Johnson one on one? That was an argument back in 59 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: the eighties her and got mad. He said, don't ask 60 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: me dumb questions. Basketball is a team sport. I refuse 61 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: to acknowledge. He says a team. They're a collection and 62 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: they're gonna win the gold medal tomorrow. Frank this justin 63 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: France does not have Nicola Jokick. They'll compete. I know 64 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: they're at home. That man get a call or two. 65 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: Wemby only weighs ninety seven pounds, are gonna push him 66 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: around like a rag doll. You'll see, ironically, France's best 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: frinkers their low post defense. Yeah, good luck against this group. 68 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: We got bodies. I'm not on the team. Scratch at 69 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 2: from the record, you're on her. The fourth quarter is 70 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: what we're going to remember from Thursday. If you remember it, 71 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: you have four MVPs. If you haven't heard that by now, 72 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: it's only been repeated a thousand times. Lebron, Steph Durant, 73 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: and Joel Imbiid, they all played at their peaks in 74 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: the last eight minutes. They showcased their unbelievable God given 75 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: gifts down the stretch. Kurry was vintage, thirty six points 76 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: in the game, hitting nine to three pointers. Lebron added 77 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: a triple double. Durant had a huge buck getting crunch 78 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: time to seal it. Joel Embiid nineteen points. He was 79 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: excellent and it was a pretty good foil for Nikola Jokic, 80 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: But there was you know, a collective you know, goosebump 81 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: atmosphere among social media, and up until and after the buzzer, 82 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: I swear I never once thought they lose. I didn't 83 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: the only time I thought it was possible. There was 84 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: about five and a half minutes to go and the 85 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: US was chipping away at the lead, and Serbia was 86 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: still up by about seven, but an eternity to go, 87 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: and they got the ball. I got a live ball 88 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: rebound and rushed up the floor in one of their 89 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: left handed sharpshooters for Serbia. I probably couldn't pronounce his 90 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: name anyway, so it doesn't matter, in a very Unserbian 91 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: like possession, pulled up on the run and shot a 92 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: three and missed it badly. And if they had gotten 93 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: to an offensive set and maybe taken a little time 94 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: off the clock and gotten a couple good looks as 95 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 2: they had been getting and drained the three that had 96 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: gone back up ten, US got the ball the other way, 97 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: slam dunk, lay up file. Now the USA is down 98 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: by four instead of ten. At that point I said 99 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: they're not going to lose. But I never thought they 100 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: were going to lose. But had the Serbian player hit 101 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: that three with about five and a half to go, 102 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: that left hander, I would have started to say, it's possible, 103 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: because you know, you have X amount of possessions, you 104 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: have X amount of time. Steve Kerr said he was 105 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: really humbled to have been a part of the game, 106 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 2: and I think maybe a lot of observers were. So 107 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: now you've got the gold medal game against France France Saturday, 108 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: which will tip off a twelve thirty Pacific time. They 109 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: beat Germany in a rematch in another tight semi final 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: after losing by fourteen earlier. The Americans they're double digit favorites. 111 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: Depending on where you shop, you might lay thirteen and 112 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: a half, you might lay fifteen. And I think there's 113 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: a side story here. There'll be a side showing involving 114 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: Joel Embiid, who spurred the French to play for Team USA, 115 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: and the last time I think he matched up with Wemby, 116 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 2: he scored seventy points back in January. So do I 117 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: think the US will lose? No, And I said all along, 118 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: they're not gonna lose. We you know, the USA still 119 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: has the market cornered on basketball even if he don't 120 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: really play as a team. Three takeaways from Friday. Give 121 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: it up to Steph Curry. He basically carried the team 122 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: to victory. Here's a guy who never played in the Olympics. 123 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: He's been relatively quiet his first four games, all blowouts, 124 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 2: but he saved his best when the team needed it most. 125 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: It was a vintage Curry performance nine to three pointers, 126 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: thirty six points. He was hot from he got off 127 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: the bus and started banging threes, kept him in the game. 128 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: They were down seventeen, They could have been down twenty five, 129 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: but Curry hit three triples in the opening couple of 130 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: minutes and finished with seventeen points in the first quarter. 131 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: Curry was really cooking. And then, of course, the night 132 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: three that Steph Curry made put the US ahead, and 133 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: then he and Lebron closed out the comeback and that 134 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: got the USA into the gold medal game, which is 135 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: in about thirteen and a half hours. Second takeaway on 136 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: the floor. Lebron clearly established himself as the team leader. 137 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: He just would not let them lose. Had his first 138 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 2: triple double or the Olympics, only the fourth ever triple 139 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: double in the entire history of Men's Olympic Basketball sixteen 140 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: points while out of twelve rebounds ten assists. But the 141 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: stats are numbers. They don't really do the justice as 142 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: to what Lebron meant to Team USA in the game, 143 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: spiritually and emotionally. When the US needed a bucket to 144 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: stave off one of Serbia's many runs, it was Lebron 145 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: taking the ball, playing bully ball. Get out of my 146 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: way here I come. Bogdanovich scored a team high twenty 147 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: points for the Serbians. He turned to the US bench 148 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,479 Speaker 2: and looked at Carmel or Anthony gave him the stinkye 149 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: James responded to Bogdanovich with the same chippy attitude. Curry 150 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: put the numbers up on the scoreboard. Lebron lit the 151 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: fire under his team and it needed most. There was 152 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: never a question. Lebron is the leader of this team. 153 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: And it'll be either him or Curry for the MVP. 154 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, they're both worthy. Okay, And finally, you know, 155 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: Tom Izzo has always talked about surviving advance. This was 156 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: Team USA surviving advance game. They rallied in dramatic fashion 157 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: when they needed to. You call it adversity. I don't know, 158 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: they just play with their food. And then we would 159 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: all of a sudden in the fourth quarter. Defensively, they'll 160 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: pick you up at thirty feet instead of sixteen feet, 161 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: and they switch and rotate and they trap and they maul. 162 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: Yet they're too athletic, they're too deep. They're not gonna lose. Okay. 163 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: They dominated the final nine minutes to turn a thirteen 164 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: point deficit into a four point victory. Give it up 165 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: to Joel Embiid had his best game in the tournament. 166 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 2: People have been critical. I was one of them. Scored 167 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 2: nineteen points against Jokic. He was their foil. He had 168 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: a critical, critical individual run where he scored seven points 169 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter by himself dunked mid range jumper 170 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: three pointer. By the way, Kevin Durant also hit two 171 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: clutch three pointers. And then Steph Curry with you know, 172 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: the icy cold precision of an assassin seals off the 173 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: game with the pair of free throws at the end. 174 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: And if you expected the team to cruise of the gold, well, 175 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: they won by four. Okay, they did what they needed 176 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: to do. They don't draw pictures in the scorebook, they 177 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: don't ask how just tom many call it a test 178 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: if you want, But I actually think the USA passed 179 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: it in flying colors because it's a four quarter game 180 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: and they turned it on the last eight minutes. Again, 181 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: Serbia was zero for nine when it mattered most, and 182 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: the big four for USA couldn't miss when it mattered most. 183 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 2: That's what I'll remember more than anything.

Say hello to Loof and a car of gamble, Lou, Lou, 223 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: Howry buddy. 224 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 6: Bernie, good evening, Thanks so much for having me on, 225 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 6: and welcome to August and football. 226 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: That is it, my friend, It is here, and we're 227 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: all here for it. Two of the teams that are 228 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: getting a lot of press, one because well they're America's team, 229 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: and the other well because there are lots of expectations. 230 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 2: So let's start with the Cowboys, and Lou, I have 231 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: seen over the last what ninety days, the Cowboys win 232 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: total between nine and a half and ten and a half, 233 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: depending on Warriors shop and ward shaded. What number are 234 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 2: you using to evaluate their win total. 235 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 6: Bernie, I'm looking at a ten and a half. And 236 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 6: with that ten and a half, I'm seeing an under 237 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 6: that's shaded minus one seventy five or one eighty and 238 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 6: that's a DraftKings here in Arizona. 239 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: Sounds good, So let's work off of that. I I've 240 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 2: been on record as saying I think this is the 241 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 2: year the wheels truly come off. What surprise me if 242 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: they were eight and nine. Take it away, Lou, you've 243 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: done a lot of research. Tell the folks where year 244 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: leaning or what your thoughts are and why. 245 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 6: Well, sure, Bernie, I actually tend to agree with you here. 246 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 6: And here's why. Number one head coach McCarthy is he 247 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 6: elame duck coach. 248 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 7: We don't know. 249 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 6: We know that he's in the last year of his 250 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 6: contract as well, he loses defensive coordinator Quinn, and with 251 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 6: the loss of Quinn incomes Zimmer. Now I like Zimmer 252 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 6: quite a bit, and I think he's every bit as 253 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 6: talented as Quinn. But that does not alleviate the fact 254 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 6: that the Cowboys are going to have a new defense 255 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 6: being implemented. And how about a little bit of regression. 256 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 6: Let's look at turnover Marsha ratio for the Cowboys. The 257 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 6: last three years, they've led the turnover ratio each year 258 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 6: plus ten plus fourteen plus ten. There's a regression crump 259 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 6: coming there. They're not going to lead turnovers this year. 260 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 6: I don't mind sticking my neck out and saying that. 261 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 6: Last year also, they had six return and special teams touchdowns. 262 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 6: I don't see that coming back. Couple of things about 263 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 6: the Cowboys. 264 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: That have changed. 265 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 6: Number One, their offensive line. They used to always be 266 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 6: able to set your watch to it being the top 267 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 6: offensive line in the NFL. This year their offensive line 268 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 6: budget is nineteenth and their rate. 269 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 7: Is twenty eighth. 270 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 6: They lost their center, a guy named Bladis, and left 271 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 6: tackle Smith is gone. 272 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 8: You look at this. 273 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 6: Schedules strength and they have the tenth toughest strength of 274 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 6: schedule this year when it comes to monitoring them against 275 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 6: other teams win totals. Last year they played the easiest 276 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 6: schedule of defenses Dallas did. This year they play the 277 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 6: ninth toughest schedule of defenses their defense. They are paying 278 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 6: their defense the twenty seventh amount in budget money for 279 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 6: the year, meaning that they have the twenty seventh most 280 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 6: expensive defense. Last year they had the tenth highest paid defense. 281 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 6: So they've really changed that defense considerably, not only from 282 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 6: the head defensive coach now with personnel. They play two 283 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 6: sets this year of back to back road games, and 284 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 6: of course in Week eleven to thirteen they played three 285 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 6: games in ten days. That's the notorious stainksgiving day game. 286 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 6: So Dak Rescott a quarterback that I think is very, 287 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 6: very good, but not elite. He is gobbling up so 288 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 6: much money in their cap that they don't have a 289 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 6: lot of room to pay other positions. And I think 290 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 6: their defense is gonna really have a hard time with that. 291 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 6: And I have a hard time feeling that Dallas can 292 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 6: get to eleven games. 293 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: Bernie, I'm in agreement with all that. And when you 294 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 2: add the fact that there's real uncertain here on which 295 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: you alluded to Mike McCarthy, Dak Prescott, Cee lamb, et cetera, 296 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: it only adds to the equation. Let's talk about the 297 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 2: forty nine ers. I believe their wintal is eleven and 298 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 2: a half. Is that correct? 299 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 6: That's the number I'm looking, I guess, Sirtain. 300 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: I'm of the belief, and I said this week ago, 301 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: when all is said and done, more will be said 302 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: and done, and Brandon Ayuk will still be with the 303 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: forty nine ers, but they're carrying a heavy burden. I 304 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: think it's going to be difficult for them to get 305 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: twelve wins. 306 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 6: At your thoughts, yeah, I totally, I totally agree on this, 307 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 6: when in fact, this is one I've already released and 308 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 6: advised under eleven and a half, and we start with 309 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 6: a great head coach in Shanahan, but he's off the 310 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 6: Super Bowl loss and that doesn't really affect his coaching, 311 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 6: but it sure can affect the players playing when they 312 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 6: had those extra games as well. San Francisco has a 313 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 6: new defensive coordinator incomes Nick Sorenson was an assistant with 314 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 6: them last year. But not only are they going to 315 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 6: maybe have more continuity in their defense because Sorenson was 316 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 6: with them last year, but they lose their top three 317 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,239 Speaker 6: defensive lineman Armstead, Young kind Law. They're all gone. So 318 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 6: I don't care what you say. That defense is going 319 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 6: to be new and it's going to take them some 320 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 6: time to develop this year. That defense, by the way, 321 00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 6: face is the fourth most potent schedule of opposing offense. 322 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 6: Their overall schedule strength is really not too bad at 323 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 6: the eighteen, so they get a break there. But where 324 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 6: they get hammered is net day's rest. This year in 325 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 6: the NFL, they have a negative twenty one days rest 326 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 6: compared to their opponents, which is unbelievable. It's the most 327 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 6: in the last fifteen to twenty years since Warren Sharp. 328 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 6: The guy I get this information from has been tracking 329 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 6: this as well. Last year San Francisco had the worst 330 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 6: net days of net rest and that was minus twenty 331 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 6: so they had a lack of rest against competition. Last 332 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 6: year played to the Super Bowl and now faced negative 333 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 6: twenty one. And of those twenty one days of net rest, 334 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 6: it is all backloaded. In the schedule. Their last eleven games, 335 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 6: they have six games where they're facing teams that have 336 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 6: more rest than them. As well, they play three short 337 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 6: week road games. The schedule's brutal to San Francisco. From 338 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 6: Week seven on they play the fourth toughest NFL schedule 339 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 6: and they have three games in thirteen days, the last 340 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 6: three games of the season. Now you look at their personnel. Now, 341 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 6: the defense has changed, the offense is all back. However, 342 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 6: you've got Brandon Nyuk crying soup and you don't know 343 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 6: where that's going. It's the same thing as Lamb. It's 344 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 6: just a lack of continuity. 345 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 9: You look at. 346 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 6: George Kittle, George Kittle is brittle. That's why they brought 347 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 6: in another tight end, Logan Thomas from Washington. They know 348 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 6: what's happening there. As far as the condition of that 349 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 6: tight end. And then you look at Deebo Samuel, a 350 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 6: guy that plays like a nineteen sixties linebacker as a 351 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 6: wide receiver. It's hard. It's going to be hard for 352 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 6: him to last a whole season as physically as he plays. 353 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 6: And then last McCaffrey, who was traded from Carolina because 354 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 6: he was somewhat injury prone. Excuse me, there must be 355 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 6: something happening outside my house right now. All good, Yeah, 356 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 6: So there there's McCaffrey who was hurt in Carolina, that's 357 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 6: why they traded him. He goes to San Francisco and 358 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 6: he gets three hundred and forty touches last year. I mean, 359 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 6: what one NFL touch would do to the average human 360 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 6: is unbelievable. And so I really sense that there's going 361 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 6: to be trouble in San Francisco. They could win the 362 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 6: Super Bowl, they could win the NFC West, but I 363 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 6: think it's going to be really, really difficult for them 364 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 6: with this schedule backloaded, with all the trouble that they 365 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 6: have to get to twelve wins. 366 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: I'm with you on both Miners under Cowboys under Lou. 367 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: I got less than a minute. Let's talk about the Jets. 368 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: It begins and ends with Aaron Rodgers. I know the 369 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: defense is good. Your thoughts, where does this thing end up? 370 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 10: Yeah? 371 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 6: I tend to think that the Jets have some good 372 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 6: hope this year, but the early part of their schedule 373 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 6: is brutal. They I'm trying to see here. From week 374 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 6: seven on the Jets are actually a team that you 375 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 6: can play. However, they start the season three games and 376 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 6: ten days the first three games of the season, and 377 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 6: then week six through week nine they play four games 378 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 6: in seventeen days. So I would say the time to 379 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 6: take a look at the Jets if you want to 380 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 6: bet them positively. Week seven, week eight, when they're about 381 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 6: five hundred and people are losing hope, that's when you 382 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 6: come to the Jets because the rest of their schedule 383 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 6: from week nine on gets much easier. 384 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: Loud, good stuff. We'll have you on as we get 385 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 2: into the season. But I'm with you. These are three 386 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: teams that I think, well, they're not only polarizing, but 387 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: they're also sort of media darlings and their marquee factor 388 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: for obvious reasons. Keep up the great work, Lou, Thanks thanks. 389 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 6: For having me, Bernie, good luck everybody. 390 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: As gambla Loo Finacarl he comes at my show four 391 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: or five times a year, and this is especially analyzing 392 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 2: from a numbers basis what's likely to happen. We talked 393 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: about the Niners, we talked about the Cowboys, and then 394 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: the Jets. Coming up, Let's talk about Jim Harbaugh. He 395 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: had a very eventful week.

Coming up in twenty eight minutes 422 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: from ri City. Here in Las Vegas. It will be 423 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: twelve midnight literally on the clock, twelve midnight Pacific time. 424 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: From where you sit, it may also be twelve midnight 425 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 2: Pacific time, or figuratively it's going to be twelve midnight 426 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: as we get into our midnight hour. One of the 427 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: topics we're going to talk about is James Joseph Harbaugh. 428 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 2: Very interesting week. Let me start with this. The first 429 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 2: news you heard, I guess it broke Monday ish was 430 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 2: how ar Ball does not apologize for things. Hold that thought. 431 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 2: We're gonna come to that in a minute. The other 432 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: news that was a little bit bigger, but it's a 433 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: little crazy. Jim Harball was actually issued a show cause 434 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: penalty for recruiting violations. Now, let's not conflate the two. 435 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: We've got the Connor Stallion situation, which is going to 436 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 2: be a Netflix special. He was the guy who made 437 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 2: other road trips and allegedly was scouting teams and so 438 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: on and so forth and illegally, you know, stealing signs 439 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 2: or whatever. But remember that Jim Harball was investigated by 440 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: the NCAA for recruiting violations that had to do with 441 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 2: going back during during COVID, right, And we all joked 442 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 2: about how the cheeseburger is bigger than the cover up, 443 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 2: And the nca made it clear that in his statement, 444 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 2: Harball would be banned from all athletic activities of college 445 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: for the next four seasons. Okay, do you really think 446 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: he's going back to college? And he would serve a 447 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 2: complete one year suspension in his first season if he 448 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: went back to college. We all know it's highly unlikely 449 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 2: that Jim Harball is going back to college, right, So 450 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: that kind of it's the infamous cheeseburger deal, but the 451 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 2: one that broke the bank. On Monday, was in Jim 452 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 2: Harbaugh complete in Charger regalia. After the League Michigan football 453 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: allegations came out and I was in Michigan money talk 454 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: to a lot of people. The good folks in Michigan 455 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 2: are livid about how this situation continues to rear its 456 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: head and how it might could affect your own more. 457 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 2: But you know in the deleted text messages, et cetera. 458 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: But before I get to that, I want you to 459 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: hear an obstinate Jim Harbaugh. He talks about the fact 460 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 2: that code I do not apologize. 461 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 13: Listen, never lie, never cheat, never steal. I was raised 462 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 13: with that lesson. I have raised my family on that lesson. 463 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 13: I have preached that lesson to the teams that I've coached. 464 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 13: No one's perfect. If you stumble, you apologize, and you 465 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 13: make it right. Today, I do not apologize. I did 466 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 13: not participate, was not aware nor complicit in those set allegations. 467 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 12: So for me, it's back to work. 468 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 13: And attacking with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. 469 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: All right, So here's the issue, all right. For notice 470 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: of the allegations, Harball was eventually simply accused of not 471 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: cooperating with the nsay's investigation. Why because he didn't allow 472 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 2: the organization to review records from his personal cell phone. 473 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: Later in the week, Harball got his show calls penalty 474 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 2: if he ever returns into college ranks. Okay, yeah, all right, 475 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: there's that. But the obstinacy of Harball, which I think 476 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 2: got him into trouble in the first place, and why 477 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: he's kind of been in the NCAA's crosshres And you 478 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: remember all the hullaballoo last November when he was suspended 479 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: for three games again and missed the Penn State game, 480 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: he missed the Ohio State game, et cetera, and Michigan 481 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 2: went on to win their national championship. Right there, A 482 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine nine nine percent sure there isn't 483 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: going to be any retroactive punishment for Michigan. They're not 484 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: going to have to vacate wins or a champions or 485 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: anything like that. When the investigations complete, you may see 486 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: some some kind of penalties in the spring. I don't 487 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: think they'll complete this investigation regarding the Connors Stallion's stuff 488 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: having to do with the alleged fifty two text messages 489 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: that current now head coach Cheron Moore deleted from his phone. 490 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: And it goes a little deeper than that. But look, 491 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: this is one of those things that won't go away. 492 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: For whatever reason. The NCAA keep, I think, enjoys twisting 493 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 2: the knife at Michigan. They handled the Kentucky investigation differently, 494 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: They had to handle the Tennessee investigation differently. And it's 495 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: it's too illuminous to really go into without boring people. 496 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: But here's what I want to address at the top 497 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 2: of the hour, and I want the callers to weigh 498 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: in on is it really reasonable to believe that Jim 499 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: Harbaugh knew nothing, knew nothing about the Connor Stallion situation 500 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: given the amount of you know, the amount of road 501 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: trips he took, the money that had to be paid, 502 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: the information that was dispensed. I don't know if he 503 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: did or he didn't. I can't play god, but I 504 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: want the callers to weigh in. Do you believe Jim 505 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: Harball when he says I don't apologize, you know, never lie, ever, cheat, 506 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: never steal. I was raised on that lesson. Why do 507 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: you even need to go down that road? I've raised 508 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: my family on that lesson? I've preached that lesson to 509 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: the teams I've coached. When you doff protest too much, 510 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: it makes me wonder. Right. Then he goes down and say, 511 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: no one's perfect. If you stumble, you apologies, you make 512 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 2: it right. But today I do not apologize. I was 513 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: not aware nor complicit in those set allegations. Do you 514 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 2: believe him? I really want to get the people's thoughts 515 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 2: in this. The callers have been phenomenal the past nine months, 516 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: looking deep into situations, offering varying opinions, and I'm looking 517 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: for some disagreement. Remember remember that the most boring conversations 518 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: are those when everybody agrees. So I want to know 519 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: what people think. And I'm quite sure we'll get some 520 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: Michigan folks calling in, and maybe they believe Jim Harbaugh. 521 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: Maybe it was handled several levels below him. And you know, 522 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 2: a lot of times, what's the old addage, the parents 523 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 2: are the last one they know when their kids are 524 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: doing drugs right in their own basement. But knowing how 525 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: meglomaniacal Harball is and how hands on he is and 526 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: how thorough he is, he's a great coach. It's hard 527 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: to believe that he didn't know anything. But for him 528 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: to get up there on a proactive basis, on an 529 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: unsolicited basis, and talk about these allegations and be so 530 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 2: vehement about it, and then preach his you know, philosophy 531 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: and how he was raised and how he raised his family. 532 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 2: To me, that makes it feel a little less genuine 533 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: to me my opinion. All right, I will when I 534 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know, so I don't argue. So 535 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 2: I can't really argue that Harbaugh knew or he didn't know. 536 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: It just makes me scratch my head as I observe, 537 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: does this not past the sniff test? Is it possible 538 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: a guy that runs a tight program like he did 539 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 2: actually not know at all that none of this was 540 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: happening under his watch? None of it? Is it possible? 541 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 2: All right? We want to hear from you on that 542 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: coming up. I give Part B if you watched Part 543 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: B or the midnight our topic, if you happen to 544 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: watch any of the Detroit Lions New York Giants exhibition 545 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: game on Thursday. Well, I know sports fans consistently yearn 546 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 2: for technology that will remove mistakes from the game, but 547 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: at what cost? I'll explain what happened Thursday night and 548 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: why most of us threw up in our mouth, including 549 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: Phil Simms, who was on the call for the game. 550 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Friday. We are comedy live from the Las 551 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio tire Act dot Com Studios. Keep 552 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 2: it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle 553 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. 554 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 555 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: All right back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio. 556 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: Coming to live from me tire act dot com Studios. 557 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: We are here in Las Vegas. We are fourteen minutes 558 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 2: away from the midnight hour. From where I sit will 559 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 2: be midnight, twelve midnight Pacific time. Literally, from where you sit, 560 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: it will either be twelve midnight literally or figuratively is 561 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 2: the midnight hour eight seven seven nine nine six six 562 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 2: three six nine eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. 563 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 2: That's the number to dial. Our first topic will be 564 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 2: do you believe Jim Harbaugh that he really didn't know 565 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: anything or wasn't involved in any way in the commerce 566 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: stallion situation? Number two. If you've watched tennis, they have 567 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: a system called the Cyclops system, which is an electric 568 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: eye which tells you very quickly whether a ball was 569 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 2: in or out on a serve, etcetera, etc. So the 570 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 2: NFL is using this Hawkeye technology to create what's called 571 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: the Hawkeye system, comparable to what you see in soccer 572 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: with var and tennis to determine whether balls in bounds 573 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: or out of bounds. You've got robot umpires that call 574 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 2: balls and strikes in baseball, and that's on the list. 575 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 2: And there's a quieter push now there have been for 576 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: a year, has been for years to create a more 577 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 2: scientific way to measure for first downs in football instead 578 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: of trotting out the chain gang to determine if a 579 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: team gained the required yardage. Right. Why people want to 580 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 2: remove mistakes for the game. They're striving for perfection. The technology, 581 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 2: as we talked about three weeks ago, will be tested 582 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: in the preseason. It debuted. It debuted in the New 583 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: York Giants Detroit Lions game. It met Life Stadium. Yes, 584 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 2: it got off to a rocky start. Let me set 585 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 2: this up. Nate subfield quarterback for the Lions. Through a 586 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: completion do Tom Kennedy, he's a wide receiver. I have 587 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 2: no idea if he's going to make the team. Probably 588 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 2: not On a third and five in the second quarter, 589 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 2: the Hawkeye technology was utilized to determine if the Lions 590 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 2: had reached the first down marker. Here's the problem. We waited, 591 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 2: We waited, we waited, we waited. It took almost four 592 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 2: minutes until the ball was snapped for the next play, 593 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: at which point phil Simms asked, are we really going 594 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 2: to use this technology if it's going to take this long? Okay, 595 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 2: I want to be fair. A couple things to keep 596 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: in mind. It's new technology, just going to be flaws 597 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 2: to work out early on. That's why the NFL is 598 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 2: practicing with it this year in the preseason. They're not 599 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 2: just going to implement it for regular season games to 600 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 2: try to work out the kinks. And just because the 601 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 2: first example took several minutes does not mean it will 602 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: always take that long. But people want accurate and correct measurements, 603 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 2: and they believe the system could help make that more consistent. 604 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: That's assuming assuming the officials get the spot on the 605 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 2: field correct in the first place, but that's another topic 606 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: for another day. There's also some see but here's my beef. 607 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: We're in the entertainment meeting. They already stopped to review 608 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 2: every score in and out of bounce plays, you've got 609 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 2: coaches challenges. Now you've got this stoppage, which I don't 610 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 2: know how much time they're going to save off that 611 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 2: three and a half minutes, because it turns out when 612 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 2: you do the research and did a little bit of research, 613 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 2: not a lot, that it requires a recreation of an animation. 614 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 2: It's different than the cyclops and tennis. So while they're 615 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: doing that, that takes time, and then they at the 616 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 2: end of the day they found out that the ball 617 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 2: was about a foot short of the but it took 618 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: almost four minutes. So you add that to reviewing all 619 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 2: the scoring plays, you add that to all the other 620 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: place stoppages, you add that to coaches challenges, et cetera, 621 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: et cetera. Inbounds, out of bounds, fumble, didn't fumble, turnovers reviewed. Okay, 622 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 2: there is to me a hell of a lot to 623 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: be said for the drama and the flow of the 624 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 2: game you lose by all these stoppages. And by the way, 625 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 2: I never really had a beef with the chain game 626 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: getting trotted out for potential game deciding measurement. It's actually 627 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 2: actually the excitement and its instant. It's right away but 628 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 2: you have to wait. If you wait for players and 629 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 2: officials to emphatically signal whether it was first down or not, 630 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: after four minutes, come on, we're killing you get killing it. 631 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 2: You're killing the entertainment. Quot Sports are entertainment. They're dramatic technology. 632 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: You might have the best intentions, but it takes away 633 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 2: from that. That's what I saw Thursday night. So this 634 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 2: is the second topic that I want to hear from 635 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 2: in the midnight hour, coming up in nine minutes eight 636 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 2: seven seven nine nine six six six nine. If you 637 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: saw the Lions game, let me you know if you didn't, 638 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 2: just what do you think in general, do we need 639 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 2: to add one more robot, one more ego eye to 640 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 2: the equation. And keep in mind it's not decided yet. 641 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: They're testing it. They're testing it in the preseason, but 642 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 2: it didn't exactly get off to a great start. I 643 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 2: think it underwhelmed a lot of people and a lot 644 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 2: of people were very nonplussed adding in almost another almost 645 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 2: four minute delay. So these are our two topics tonight 646 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 2: at midnight Pacific time. From where I sit, it's midnight 647 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 2: in Vegas. In nine minutes, we want to hear from you. 648 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: Eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. 649 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: Number one, do you believe Jim Harbaugh? He gave a vehement, 650 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 2: long winded oratory about how he raised people, how he 651 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: was raised not to lie. But he you know, he 652 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: apologizing here because he doesn't. I don't know nothing, and 653 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: I didn't participate in outward and upward with my intensity 654 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: unknown to mankind. With that part, I believe. So do 655 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 2: you believe him? Is it possible? A man of that stature, 656 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 2: a man that accomplished, who's coached for over twenty years, 657 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 2: who tutored under Bo scham Beckler, who I do think 658 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 2: was a paragon of integrity. Do you really think Harbaugh 659 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: knew nothing? Do you believe him? Number two? Do you 660 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 2: like this Hawkeye technology to test first downs? By the way, 661 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: we're gonna have a quick side one too. This is 662 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 2: way under the radar, So if you saw it, I 663 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 2: want you a call in. Arnie Spaniard alerted me to this. 664 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 2: Our teammate here at Fox here mon Sunday Nights with 665 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 2: Chris Planning. Apparently, in the USA Poland volleyball game, a 666 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 2: ball was called out on Poland, but a player for 667 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 2: the USA, on an unsolicited basis told his coach that 668 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: he touched the ball, then told the ref he touched 669 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 2: the ball without reviewing it. The ref reversed the call 670 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 2: later on, Poland goes on to win the match. It's 671 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 2: the ultimate in sportsmanship. It's like to lose long story, 672 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 2: and Jesse Owenes back in nineteen thirty six pretty rare 673 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 2: these days. Are you aware that happened? And if you 674 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 2: know that it happened, or even if you don't know, 675 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 2: you can comment on that as well, because he was 676 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 2: the ultimate in sportsmanship. But are you glad he did it? 677 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: Or it was like, wait a minute, this is international competition. 678 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 2: If the ref wasn't asking him in the first place, 679 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 2: what are you doing your grandstanding and being a hero? 680 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 2: Or is honor above all? How do you feel about 681 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 2: this incident where a coat with a player told his 682 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,240 Speaker 2: coach that the ball shouldn't have been out on Poland 683 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 2: in the volleyball match. They told the ref and the 684 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 2: ref reversed it without even reviewing. So we've got Jim Harbaugh. 685 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 2: Do you believe him? Yes or no? You heard yan sound. 686 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 2: You've got more technology spotting whether or not the ball 687 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 2: was a first down and it took almost four minutes 688 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 2: for the Hawkeye technology to kick in, and then finally, 689 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 2: ever so quickly USA Poland Volleyball, the ball was out. 690 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 2: The player for USAY said, no I touched it. They 691 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 2: told the ref. The ref reversed the call without even 692 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 2: reviewing it.

Let's start with Jim Harbaugh. 714 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh. I think he's telling the truth. I think 715 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 3: that he's writing what he says. I don't think he 716 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 3: was involved in any of that stuff. And Bernie, they're 717 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 3: investigating a guy that's gone, so I don't understand the point. 718 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 3: I mean, Casey might come back to college football. We're 719 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 3: gonna do this, We're gonna do that next thing. You know, 720 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna send them to bed without supper. 721 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 3: I think they should just drop all that stuff. 722 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 2: You know. I was in Michigan earlier this week. They're 723 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 2: not They're none too pleased with how it feels like 724 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 2: they're trying to twist a knife and it's not really 725 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: serving any fruitful purpose. They don't like the way Harball 726 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 2: thunder knows that him during the cheeseburger thing. But that's 727 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 2: a story for a different day. You have any thought, Jimmy, 728 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 2: if you don't think he did it, I mean, or 729 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 2: was involved, I'll believe you. I don't. I really have 730 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 2: a dog in the fight on this one. Long and 731 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 2: short of it is, though, we do have a second 732 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 2: issue with this good Did you happen to see the 733 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 2: Lions Giants game at all? 734 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 3: Like I told you, I used to be a referee. 735 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 3: I did all the sports. I did football. Now when 736 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 3: they mocked the ball, lineman does it on the end 737 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 3: and then the ball goes out to the umpire said down. 738 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 3: Now it's not exactly lined up. It could be a 739 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 3: link of a football short, could be a linked of football. 740 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 2: Over in the first attent. 741 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 3: So you're telling me, now, with all this new stuff, 742 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 3: the referees have flags, they have a beanbag, or you 743 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 3: change possession. Now you're going to put a set of 744 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 3: calipers and you know, verniers on them and waits and 745 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 3: measures to check all this stuff, you know along with it. 746 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 3: Just get all that stuff out of the game. You 747 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 3: need the human element of it. If someone makes a mistake, 748 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 3: they make a mistake, you know, it is what it is. 749 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 3: You know, I'm blowing down the game like that flowing 750 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,959 Speaker 3: down the game like that, a high hitting the game 751 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 3: which is on a motion, and stuff like that. In 752 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 3: the four minutes is like a half hour burning in 753 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 3: that game. 754 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 2: With you at it. Yeah, it was dramatic, and Phil 755 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 2: Simms was none too pleased. Jim, did you happen to 756 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 2: see what happened in the USA polling volleyball game or not? 757 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 3: You know what, I think that's the greatest thing that's happened. 758 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 3: It just goes to show that there are some decent 759 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 3: people and still left in this world with all that's 760 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 3: going on, that the believes in fair play and sportsmanship 761 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 3: and everything else.

I'm apoplectic with this 770 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 14: foolishness going on with the NCAA and fingering Jim Harbaugh 771 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 14: for alleged penalties after he's already rode off into the 772 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 14: sunset delivered a national championship to the Maze and Blue. 773 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 14: Now he's out in Los Angeles with his crown jewel 774 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 14: justin Herbert, trying to get that program off the ground. 775 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 14: And now the NTAA wants to. 776 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 7: Swoop in with their what is this? 777 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 3: What are we talking about? 778 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 14: Herbert Hoover, you know, and masking prohibition bottles, you know, 779 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 14: and taking on crime and making the society state or 780 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 14: law buying and bodies citizens. 781 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 2: I'm with you on all that, But Andrey, real quickly, 782 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 2: do you believe Jim Harbor knew nothing about the Connor 783 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 2: Stein situation? That's all I want to know. I'm in 784 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 2: agreement with you. The NCAA has taken us too far. 785 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 2: But regardless, it's impossible to know. But what is your 786 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 2: gut tell you that Harbaugh really knew nothing about Connor stallions? 787 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 16: Yeah? 788 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 14: Yeah, my gut feeling is you didn't know anything about 789 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 14: it because the rule of law in college football is 790 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 14: if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying, okay, And everybody 791 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 14: knows it. All the top schools that are competing for 792 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 14: national championships, they're looking for loopholes. They're they're you know, 793 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 14: stretching things out to the unteenth degree. And guess what 794 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 14: nobody really cares if a kid eight to cheese berg Berger, 795 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 14: you know, and didn't pay the ninety nine cents or 796 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,959 Speaker 14: whatever the heck you are, you know, spending this time 797 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 14: on it just drives me crazy and I have to 798 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 14: go back the MPT double a years back. We're probably 799 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 14: been a decade ago. They caught North Carolina running a 800 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 14: fraudulent academic program or there. They caught them red handed. 801 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 14: And what was the penalty for North Carolina? Absolutely nothing. 802 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 14: I threw up my hands after that. 803 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 7: You're picking and. 804 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 14: Choosing this school over here. You're gonna penalize this school 805 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 14: over here gets caught red handed, but because they're a 806 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 14: blue bloods, you don't do anything. Just stop the charade. 807 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 14: Charlie Baker coming from Massachusetts, maybe just try to do 808 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 14: something productive that like actually helps the fact I think 809 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 14: they're removing in the right direction with paying players, like. 810 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 2: The technology on the first Don Marker.

So when you think you have seven, 833 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 15: just just realize you only have one legitimate super Bowl. 834 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 15: So no wonder you think that Hardbaugh is enough the 835 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 15: world's biggest liar, and he didn't Inhale, big liar didn't 836 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 15: pass the smell test. The guy is just a real 837 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 15: scourge and uh, just a ridiculous anybody that believes him. Uh, 838 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 15: just does not want to even listen to the truth. 839 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 15: The guy, the guy cheated. I'd rather believe Jim Sandusky 840 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 15: being innocent than Jim Harbaugh. That's how bad Harbaugh sounds. 841 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 2: No true cost tonight, so I'm strong. All right, Let's 842 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 2: move on to the new technology that they're experimenting with 843 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,800 Speaker 2: on whether or not a ball spotted in a first 844 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,439 Speaker 2: down was a cheat. All I can say is first 845 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 2: impressions were bad Thursday night. Did you have thoughts on that? 846 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 15: Well, it's not your first impressions because you've watched tennis 847 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 15: and you love to see the line out when the 848 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 15: ball is. 849 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 7: In or out. 850 00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 15: That talk guy, and that's by Sony, the same company 851 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 15: that's doing NFL beta testing right now. So no, it's 852 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 15: superb and it's just being food around with right now 853 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 15: and fine teamed actually with the NFL. The NBA uses 854 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 15: it also in the Devil. 855 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 2: Okay, but four minutes, man, that's the problem. Apparently. See 856 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 2: the Cyclops technology that's using technology is great. The NFL 857 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 2: out of the gate, they have to create some sort 858 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 2: of animated ball and that takes time. So it we're 859 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 2: really kind of compared to apples and oranges. Do you 860 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 2: think it's going to find its way into the NFL? 861 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 2: And should it? 862 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 15: Absolutely? And this is just an exhibition game, and so 863 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 15: you have you have new officials that are giving it 864 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 15: a try. You have players that are not going to 865 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 15: even see a taxi squad out there, so they're just. 866 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 2: Well, the players had nothing to do with that. I mean, 867 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,280 Speaker 2: I agree with that situation on the kickoff, The players 868 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 2: had nothing to do with determining whether or not there 869 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 2: was a first down. Real quickly, do you were you 870 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 2: aware of what happened in the USA Poland volleyball game? 871 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 15: No good, go ahead, tell me, well. 872 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,720 Speaker 2: Just ever so quickly. The ball was out on Poland. 873 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 2: The USA player said, no, I touched it. He told 874 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 2: his coach. The coach told the ref. The ref reversed 875 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 2: the call without even reviewing it. USA ended up losing. 876 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 2: You know, tremendous sportsmanship. Although I know that some people 877 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 2: will we'll maybe take umbrage with that. So all right, hey, 878 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 2: don't be a stranger here, sports could you have? Well, 879 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 2: you have what you got?

I would have taken 886 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 15: the win and uh that's uh, that's this competitive nature 887 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 15: in me. But good for him. Good luck with your 888 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 15: endorsements and your uh and getting phone calls from your 889 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 15: fellow teammates for uh, for you know, letting that uh 890 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 15: that that honesty and you screw it up for the 891 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 15: rest of your teammates that have been trying to get 892 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 15: this win their entire life. So that's what my take 893 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 15: on that last one. 894 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 2: Right, it'll be a stranger. Good strong call there, Sports 895 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,919 Speaker 2: Court Poppy in San Diego. How about those Potters man? 896 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 2: All right, Sony Poppy, Let's start with Jim Harball. Do 897 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 2: you believe me? 898 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 7: Yeah? 899 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 16: Yeah, the Potter's on fire brandant. But you know, Jim Harball, Look, 900 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 16: this is what I think, Like consciously, I'm thinking, hey, 901 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 16: I do believe Harball because everything that he's saying. But 902 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 16: Harvor is a smart guy. Well you guys aren't realizing 903 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 16: why is Harbo fanded? Because look, anything you say in 904 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 16: the Cortla. 905 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 3: Can and will be used against you. 906 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 16: So Harball is saying, no, I was raised this way, 907 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 16: my kids not alive. But when you do question on 908 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 16: the concept. You know you question are like, wait, I'm 909 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 16: not apologizing right now. He is guilty, like, and it's conscious. 910 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 16: He knows that he knew all about this, but to 911 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 16: protect the damage and so he doesn't want no drama 912 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 16: getting to it. 913 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 10: You know. 914 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 16: Now he's the coach and the Chargers and then no, 915 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 16: I didn't do it. So he's full of Balgonney. I 916 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 16: don't believe him. I know there's people saying, yeah, I 917 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 16: believe him. Yeah right, he did do it. 918 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 3: He knew what he was doing. 919 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 2: All right. First down marker Eagle. Lie, I'm not bagging 920 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 2: on the technology. I'm just bagging that it took four minutes. 921 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 2: Your thoughts do we need enough? 922 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,760 Speaker 16: Of course people are going to be banging on this, Bernie, 923 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 16: I totally understand you. I'm a big football fan who wouldn't. 924 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:46,919 Speaker 7: But this is a preseason. 925 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 16: But Roger Dedell needs to be trying this technology. It 926 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 16: look before we tried in the preseason. Hey, I know 927 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 16: the teams are scriminage and we got the Chargers and 928 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 16: the Rams the scriminize each other. Why not trying that 929 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 16: when they're practicing and then do it in the preseason. 930 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 16: But I think it's the perfect reason to try it, 931 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 16: and why not. See what's going on the preseason. Not 932 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 16: a lot of people are going fair enough. 933 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 2: But do you think the NFL really needs to go 934 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 2: to this to add one more delay? 935 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 16: Well, you know yes, because look, I think they do 936 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 16: need it because on sports betting, we know how the 937 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 16: rems do bad calls for sports betting. Wise, me, I'm 938 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 16: a sports better. 939 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,360 Speaker 7: Look, I really hate it. 940 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 2: Okay, a good point.

My question is 985 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 10: these referees actually try to call the game as they 986 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 10: see it. But now online sports Betty don't do that 987 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 10: fake that enhances some of the low calls that they 988 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 10: make or do make you know where they're right, they're right, 989 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,760 Speaker 10: but don't we have replay Now replay that determine everything. 990 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 10: But now they want to add robots to the game 991 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 10: and they go the referee. I believe Jim Hartball was 992 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 10: absolutely correct and the right decision. 993 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 7: And what he did, well do. 994 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 2: You so you when you say correct, you you say 995 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,200 Speaker 2: he didn't know what was going on.

I mean it 1006 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 10: our honest season, And aren't these athletes trading their hardest 1007 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000 Speaker 10: trading their heart steeds?

Yeah, I'm a huge Chargers fan, So whatever, 1032 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,440 Speaker 8: harbod did I want him to do it again for 1033 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 8: the Chargers. But yeah, he was lying. He was lying. 1034 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 8: But it's a little white lie because it's like jaywalking 1035 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 8: for you or me, what he did in college. Anything 1036 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 8: you do against the NCAA is all right by me. 1037 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 8: He wasn't going way out of the lines, and he 1038 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 8: can't say out loud that he did it. 1039 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 2: But hell and I agree with you know fair enough. 1040 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 2: I'm not going to contest that, but he didn't need 1041 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 2: to get in front of a microphone on an un 1042 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 2: solicited basis then give his sermon from the mount. That's 1043 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 2: that's that's all you. No one was at him anymore. 1044 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 2: This is oh no, it's been a fat of complete 1045 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 2: for six months. So all right, what are your thoughts 1046 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 2: on the NFL. I don't know if you saw the 1047 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 2: game Thursday night, Giants and lines took almost four minutes. 1048 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 8: I'm glad. I'm glad I missed that. That would have 1049 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 8: been too painful. 1050 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 10: Uh. 1051 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 8: I think the technology will be good, but it has 1052 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 8: to be instantaneous. If you add time, you got to 1053 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 8: learn from baseball. They strip time out of their games 1054 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 8: to improve their ratings. You can't add wasted time into 1055 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 8: the game for a little bit of game. 1056 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the execution, Yeah, go ahead. 1057 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 8: As far as volleyball, I play a lot of racket 1058 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 8: sports and all and all the time I grew up tennis, racquetball, 1059 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 8: now pickleball. You have to self police lines and things 1060 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 8: like that. You're always calling those yourselves. That's an honorable thing. 1061 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 8: In baseball. I never I was a catcher. I never 1062 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 8: corrected an umpire and the other team's favor and no 1063 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 8: one in basketball ever said no, he got all ball, 1064 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 8: he didn't foul me. So it's different for each sport 1065 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 8: in a sense. But on the racket sports, you grow 1066 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 8: up calling all of those lines, including volleyball. It's not 1067 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 8: until you have appreciating but the honor still needs to 1068 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 8: be there. I think it was the right thing that 1069 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 8: the kid did. It ended up being the right call. 1070 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 2: I'm only fair enough, and again fair enough, I certainly 1071 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 2: accept that. Keep in mind in racket sports it's one 1072 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 2: on one though, and you have a situation where this 1073 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 2: involved teammates and other things. 1074 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 8: But oh yeah, you have doubles though too. 1075 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, fair enough, Okay, good stuff, Jack 1076 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 2: the Stranger, Dave in Phoenix, I'm guessing you have some 1077 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 2: very definitive thoughts on Jim Harball, Bernie. 1078 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 3: You guess correctly. 1079 00:59:54,760 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 17: Let me say this, the sanctions on Jim Harbaugh actually 1080 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 17: had nothing to do with Conyore stallions. That's a separate no. 1081 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 2: I said that at the top of the hour. I 1082 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,959 Speaker 2: made the difference between the cheeseburger, the recruiting back during 1083 01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 2: COVID and Connors Stallions. All I want to know is 1084 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 2: you heard his Behemian press conference Thursday or check that Monday. 1085 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 2: Do you believe Harbaugh had no clue what was going 1086 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 2: on with Connors Stallions? 1087 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 17: No, I do not, And I've been a Michigan fan 1088 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 17: for over fifty five years, but I'm not blind. And 1089 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 17: the propaganda that we've been hearing is, oh, it was 1090 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 17: just a burger, Just a burger. It was a lot 1091 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 17: more than that. It was violating the covid ERA rules 1092 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 17: on hosting recruits, paying for meals on analysts, illegally coaching, 1093 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 17: and then on top of it all howled about it. 1094 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 17: He was extremely uncooperative with the investigators. 1095 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 2: You nailed it. You couldn't have nailed it any better. 1096 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 2: That is essentially chronicles the beginning. Middling in thoughts on 1097 01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:03,919 Speaker 2: the extra technolog Dave in the Lions Giants game Thursday night. 1098 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 3: Well, I didn't see the game. 1099 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 17: Generally speaking, I'm in favor of trying to get it right, 1100 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 17: and I know there's problems with replay, but it also 1101 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 17: solves a lot of bad calls and sometimes we only 1102 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 17: hear about I'm. 1103 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,919 Speaker 2: Okay with that, but a four minute delay, come on, mane, 1104 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 2: on top of all the other delays we already have 1105 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 2: to endure. That's my beef. 1106 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 17: Well, you may be right, and I guess I'll have 1107 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,320 Speaker 17: a better opinion once I see some football games coming 1108 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 17: up this fall. 1109 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 2: Well you won't. They're not going to implement it in 1110 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,479 Speaker 2: the regular season. They're testing it in the preseason, lots 1111 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 2: of preseason games. Yep.

And that's what it's all about, sports integrity. 1165 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,400 Speaker 18: What happened to the word integrity, inegrity? 1166 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 2: It's gone rock solid, rock solid stuff.

We hadn't heard from 1168 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 2: me in a few weeks, but you believe Harball new 1169 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 2: You know he's right. We're a family. I tend to 1170 01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 2: side with Fernando on this, and you know the technology. 1171 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,600 Speaker 2: I love it. He took a position, he is willing 1172 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 2: to wait to get it right. That's the price we 1173 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,960 Speaker 2: got to pay to get it right. Who's in a hurry? Okay, 1174 01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 2: fair enough, I have to. I certainly accept that, and 1175 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 2: honesty's the best policy. Well, who can disagree with that? 1176 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 2: Very enlightening calls tonight? Well they always are. Robin, Orlando, 1177 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,439 Speaker 2: you are up next? Your turn? What's up, Bud? 1178 01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 19: Hey, Bernie, It's been a few weeks since I've talked 1179 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 19: to you. 1180 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:19,840 Speaker 3: Man. 1181 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 19: Good too, good to hear you. 1182 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,400 Speaker 2: Boys, Yes, sir, welcome back in. 1183 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 8: Thank you, Thank you man. 1184 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,160 Speaker 19: First, on the Jim Harball thing, I think he's a 1185 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 19: straight up guy. 1186 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 10: Man. 1187 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,440 Speaker 19: I think he's got way too much intensity and pride 1188 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 19: to be lying about this. At the end of the day, 1189 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 19: I don't think it's that big of a deal anyway, 1190 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 19: But you know, I mean that's that. As far as 1191 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 19: the Hawkeye technology, I'm I'm an old school guy, but 1192 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 19: I've also embraced technology. I think anything you do to 1193 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 19: make it right is good. But here's here's the lacking 1194 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,760 Speaker 19: part of it. The drama that comes out for the 1195 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 19: chain gangs. 1196 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:55,680 Speaker 2: I remember a. 1197 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 19: Few years ago, a number of years ago, I don't 1198 01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 19: remember it was Bill Cower or somebody, when they had 1199 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,760 Speaker 19: the chain gangs out there and he brought an index 1200 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 19: card out to make sure that it wasn't touching the 1201 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,919 Speaker 19: ball man. But there's dramatic aesthetic to it that you're 1202 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 19: going to lose with that, and it's just, I don't know, 1203 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 19: it's almost even though you're utilizing the technology, it's just 1204 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 19: so plain jane to me versus the human element. 1205 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 2: That's very well said. And I think at the end 1206 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,280 Speaker 2: of the day that we know that they're not going 1207 01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,720 Speaker 2: to implement it NET this year. As soon as they 1208 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 2: would be would be twenty twenty five, and I think 1209 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 2: it's more of a long shot that it even materializes. Finally, 1210 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 2: the USA Poland volleyball match, I'm sure you heard us 1211 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:40,080 Speaker 2: talking about it. 1212 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 19: Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I actually saw that match. 1213 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 19: I'll refreshing.

Man? 1324 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 7: You guys playing the heck of a game. You girls 1325 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 7: play heck of a game. 1326 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 14: You know. 1327 01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 7: Good on you, but but it's right all the showboard 1328 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 7: to dancing. It kind of turns me off, you know, 1329 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 7: But hey, I grew up in a different era, man, 1330 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 7: You know, well what do I know? 1331 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 2: All right? Great culture? Own, appreciate you, man, get your sleep, 1332 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,120 Speaker 2: You're rested up, and want to hear back from you 1333 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:50,760 Speaker 2: next week. Excellent stuff. Stephen in Kansas City, how are you, hey? 1334 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:51,080 Speaker 20: Bern? 1335 01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:51,840 Speaker 9: A good show? 1336 01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 10: You know. 1337 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,439 Speaker 9: I don't think anyone outside of the Big House in 1338 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 9: ann Arbor believes Jim Harball. 1339 01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 3: But that's just me. 1340 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:03,799 Speaker 2: It's not an unfair comment. 1341 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 9: I've been I've been here. I've been hearing a lot 1342 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,760 Speaker 9: about this sportsmanship and I and I like the I 1343 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:14,959 Speaker 9: like the topic. I just wish that sportsmanship would extend 1344 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:19,759 Speaker 9: to our professional athletes. I'm hearing Lebron James has told 1345 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,679 Speaker 9: France that they're not that talented ahead of the ahead 1346 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:27,800 Speaker 9: of this gold, gold medal game. I think our professional 1347 01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 9: athletes are losing losing focus about what it's like to 1348 01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,719 Speaker 9: be at the Olympics. It's not about expanding a brand, 1349 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 9: you know. And this this goes to the coach Steve Kurrent, 1350 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,479 Speaker 9: why they're not playing very well is that they're they're 1351 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 9: there to serve the country. They're they're there not to 1352 01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:49,000 Speaker 9: go to parties. I've seen them. I've seen all these 1353 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:53,439 Speaker 9: guys at NBA parties, going to ping pong matches, going 1354 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:58,040 Speaker 9: doing everything but playing basketball. So I'll be very interested 1355 01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:02,080 Speaker 9: to see if they actually to get focused today. It's 1356 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 9: kind of interesting. I noticed the the women. You don't 1357 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 9: see any of the women at these events. You don't 1358 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:12,040 Speaker 9: see Britney Griner. You know, Don Staley. 1359 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,240 Speaker 20: Would would would would put them back on the dorms 1360 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 20: if this happened. I mean, we I just hate to 1361 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 20: say it, but I think we deserve what we deserve 1362 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 20: to lose sometimes because of the way our guys are 1363 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:29,240 Speaker 20: conducting themselves and just kind of half half half in 1364 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:31,680 Speaker 20: on winning because they're so. 1365 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:36,439 Speaker 9: They're so talented. That's the ultimate show of disrespect and 1366 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 9: sportsmanship when when you're at a ping pong match, or 1367 01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 9: or you're at some event in the Olympics the gymnastics, 1368 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 9: instead of preparing for your opponent. And I don't think 1369 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:50,600 Speaker 9: anyone anyone has said that because these guys are not 1370 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 9: the dream team they're they're not even close to the 1371 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,120 Speaker 9: Dream Team. They're they're almost the screw up team. What 1372 01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:57,640 Speaker 9: do you think about that? 1373 01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 2: Bernie? All right, thanks, watch you even covered a lot 1374 01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 2: of there. Look, I saw the dream Team. This is 1375 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 2: not the Dream Team. And Bill Russell said it best. 1376 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,519 Speaker 2: Don't compare eras, don't compare ghosts. People insist on doing 1377 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 2: it right. That Dream Team twelve Hall of Famers and 1378 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:18,120 Speaker 2: nineteen cumulative championships. And unless people saw Jordan play Courtside 1379 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,680 Speaker 2: and Magic and Burden the whole group, then you have 1380 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 2: to kind of recuse yourself from the argument. You can 1381 01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 2: have an opinion, but you had to see the ore 1382 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,559 Speaker 2: those guys had around them when they played, in addition 1383 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 2: to the success they had and the showman they were. 1384 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 2: This group does not have that. Although they are a 1385 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 2: collection of accomplishment, no doubt about it, and they're gonna 1386 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 2: beat France. It's not a good matchup for France. This 1387 01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 2: just in in case you missed it, France does not 1388 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,439 Speaker 2: have Nikola Jokic. I think the US wins by about 1389 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:52,000 Speaker 2: fourteen since Saturday. Later on Saturday, let's get the crew in, Kevin. 1390 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 2: You've heard the discourse tonight, do you believe Jim Harbaugh, 1391 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:55,719 Speaker 2: I don't know anything. 1392 01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 12: No, of course I don't. Yeah, and the problem is 1393 01:15:59,520 --> 01:15:59,960 Speaker 12: to your point. 1394 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 11: On Monday, he gets on the podium talking about the 1395 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 11: Connor Stallion situation, saying, you know, I never lie, I 1396 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,000 Speaker 11: never cheat, I never steal, and then ironically two days later, 1397 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 11: completely unrelated, of course, when it comes to the COVID nineteen, 1398 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,439 Speaker 11: you know, recruiting situation, they said you clearly lied and 1399 01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 11: didn't cooperate the end with the investigation. 1400 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,400 Speaker 12: And I think based on the facts. 1401 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 11: That we know, it's pretty hard for him to die 1402 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:21,640 Speaker 11: to deny that, so he ends up looking bad in 1403 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,439 Speaker 11: that situation. I think most people would have been on 1404 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,360 Speaker 11: his side if you were to say, yeah, I did it, 1405 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 11: and you know what, I'd do it again, because the 1406 01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 11: entire rule is stupid and what the NCAA is doing 1407 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 11: is stupid. And I'm glad that the kids are getting what 1408 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:32,640 Speaker 11: they were that they've had coming to him for. 1409 01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 12: The last fifty years. 1410 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 2: Most people would ever hold that thought. You really articulate 1411 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,559 Speaker 2: that nicely. I'm in agreement. The fact that he got 1412 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:42,960 Speaker 2: like the way he set it up, the fact that 1413 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 2: he got on the podium on an unsolicited basis kind 1414 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,880 Speaker 2: of blows his covers. Like the old joke, I don't 1415 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 2: smoke out on drink, I don't swear. Oh damn it, 1416 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,599 Speaker 2: I left my cigarettes at the exactly go ahead, Kevin 1417 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 2: continue on. 1418 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,320 Speaker 12: No, I was pretty much wrapping up my point on 1419 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:55,639 Speaker 12: that one. 1420 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,920 Speaker 11: It's just like, I think more people will respect Jim 1421 01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 11: Harball if he would just kind of pull the veil 1422 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,040 Speaker 11: back and just be a undred percent honest about it 1423 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,880 Speaker 11: as opposed to getting up there and essentially lying about it. 1424 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,120 Speaker 2: Thoughts on the Hawkeye technology and its potential future. 1425 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 11: I think potentially in the future, once they get all 1426 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,200 Speaker 11: the kings worked out, it's going to end up working 1427 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,439 Speaker 11: out for the better. Usually when you roll these things out, 1428 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 11: you know, people try to compare it to Major League 1429 01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,439 Speaker 11: Baseball and the automated strike zone. This thing has been 1430 01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 11: around for three years now and they're still kind of 1431 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:22,599 Speaker 11: working out a lot of the kings, but you don't 1432 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:24,880 Speaker 11: see it because it's happening in the minor leagues. So 1433 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 11: now that it's somewhat front and center in an NFL 1434 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 11: preseason game, there's gotta be some issues to have to 1435 01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 11: work out. But I think ultimately the more you can 1436 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 11: use technology, the more that you can use things to 1437 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 11: try to take human air out of any particular professional situation, 1438 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:39,760 Speaker 11: I'm all for it, So I support it. 1439 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,559 Speaker 2: That's kind of the recurring theme. Yeah, I have to 1440 01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,400 Speaker 2: revisit this and then USA poland final thoughts. 1441 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 11: I greatly appreciate and respect him for making that decision. 1442 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 11: The majority of people, whether it's amateur sports or professional 1443 01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,800 Speaker 11: sports especially, would never do such a thing. So there's 1444 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,439 Speaker 11: no way that I can hate on or say something 1445 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:59,240 Speaker 11: negative about someone who shows the utmost sportsmanship and tries 1446 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:00,800 Speaker 11: to be honest about the fact and knowing that it 1447 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,120 Speaker 11: can end up costing him a medal. 1448 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 12: That's a true show of sportsmanship. 1449 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,600 Speaker 11: And I know you didn't ask this question, Bernie, but 1450 01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,439 Speaker 11: based on what the last caller said, I'm not going 1451 01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 11: to criticize any athlete who's out there at the Olympics 1452 01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,960 Speaker 11: supporting other athletes, which is what Team USA has been doing. 1453 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,640 Speaker 11: And there have been other players from other sports and 1454 01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 11: other disciplines who have also put out there supporting other 1455 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,120 Speaker 11: athletes from their respective countries. 1456 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:20,719 Speaker 12: So I just wanted to make sure I make that clear. 1457 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 12: I don't think that's a bad sign from the basketball 1458 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 12: players to do that. 1459 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,559 Speaker 2: Noted duly noted, thank you. Ian thoughts on. 1460 01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:32,640 Speaker 21: Harbaugh, Yeah, really quick. Look, I'm not saying he masterminded 1461 01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,519 Speaker 21: the whole thing. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. But 1462 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 21: to say he didn't know anything about it at all, 1463 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,160 Speaker 21: it's just ignorant. But I don't think anyone's being ignorant. 1464 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 21: I think we all know that he at least had 1465 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 21: some knowledge of it. He was the man at Michigan, 1466 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,719 Speaker 21: and if anyone was going to make any big decision 1467 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,639 Speaker 21: like committing recruiting violations, they wouldn't have done it without 1468 01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,519 Speaker 21: him knowing. And if he didn't know, then it was 1469 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 21: because he specifically told them that he didn't want to know, 1470 01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 21: which I still think makes him guilty by association. 1471 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:03,880 Speaker 2: Personally, Well said replay technology on first downs. 1472 01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean I don't feel super strongly one way 1473 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 21: or the other, but you know, four minutes is a 1474 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 21: pretty long time, so it sounds like it's not ready yet. 1475 01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 2: And the sportsmanship situation, I respect him for it. 1476 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 21: I wouldn't have done it myself. It kind of gives 1477 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 21: me teachers pet vibes. But you know, good for him. 1478 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:24,599 Speaker 2: That's a good analogy, So great calls tonight. I don't 1479 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 2: know that there was a consensus on Harball. I think 1480 01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 2: that a lot of folks felt, hey, you know, maybe 1481 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:33,479 Speaker 2: there's plausible deniability. Maybe he didn't want to know. On 1482 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,760 Speaker 2: the other hand, knowing Harball the way we do as 1483 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 2: a task master, it's hard to believe he didn't know anything. 1484 01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 2: And as far as the technology I got to give, 1485 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 2: the folks have spoken, let's give this a chance to work. 1486 01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 2: You'd rather have things get right, even if it takes 1487 01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 2: a little longer and interesting. I think all except for 1488 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,760 Speaker 2: one or two. Maybe we're enamored with the sportsmanship. And 1489 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,160 Speaker 2: how can you not be, especially in this day and age, 1490 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 2: especially on an international stage like that. It is the 1491 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 2: true show of honor coming up. Guess who's back? Well, 1492 01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 2: he never really left. Keep it locked.

Well, 1506 01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 2: the thoughts on technology further being used to determine first 1507 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,840 Speaker 2: downs in football and then of course to display a 1508 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 2: sportsmanship USA Poland before we put a cap on it, 1509 01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,599 Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, let's have you weighing on this. What were 1510 01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:12,479 Speaker 2: your thoughts on the situations that we talked about. 1511 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:16,519 Speaker 22: When it comes to Harbaugh, he doesn't strike me as 1512 01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 22: the kind of guy that doesn't know what's going on 1513 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 22: in some place that he's in charge of. So too, 1514 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,519 Speaker 22: from what I understand, if he doesn't know something, I 1515 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 22: don't believe that. I think he knows what's going on. 1516 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:33,640 Speaker 22: He's aware of everything going on in an organization. 1517 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 2: That's how I feel about it, and maybe maybe to 1518 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 2: not every nth degree in every detail, but I've in 1519 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 2: agreement with you knowing what a task master he is 1520 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 2: and having lived and worked in that market for a 1521 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 2: long time. It's just it's hard for me to buy it. 1522 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 2: It's it just it's I guess I don't buy it. 1523 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,679 Speaker 22: I figured he has his you know so called these 1524 01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,720 Speaker 22: are my words, his spies, people that are looking out 1525 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 22: for him. Him, He knows and people tell him what's 1526 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,479 Speaker 22: going on. So to say he's not aware, I think 1527 01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:10,160 Speaker 22: he's aware of everything. Now what he choose to admit 1528 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,040 Speaker 22: to that's a completely different story. 1529 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. All right, let's talk ever so quickly 1530 01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 2: about the NFL and the links are going to go 1531 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 2: to now to make sure first down markers are done right. 1532 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,519 Speaker 22: Like one of the callers said, I'm gonna miss the 1533 01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:29,960 Speaker 22: anticipation of the chain gang coming out and watching how 1534 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 22: bad the spot is, whether the referee doesn't put it 1535 01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 22: down the right way, and everybody's gonna argue. 1536 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 1: That's wrong, that's wrong, that's wrong. 1537 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 22: And so I'm gonna miss that part if I watch 1538 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:44,639 Speaker 22: a game. But then, if this technology works, like everybody 1539 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,479 Speaker 22: was saying, if it makes it faster, that's okay, But 1540 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 22: trying to get it right is always the objective. But 1541 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 22: if it's not gonna work as quickly and as fast 1542 01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 22: as it does in tennis, then that's gonna ob make 1543 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 22: the games longer, you know, commercial breaks, having to stop 1544 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 22: for for measurements or checking a you know, a footstepping out. 1545 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 22: It's just going to add more time to the game 1546 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 22: and just eventually it's gonna make everybody upset if it 1547 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:16,960 Speaker 22: causes too much trouble. 1548 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 2: It made them upset the other night, including the announcers 1549 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,960 Speaker 2: Phil Simms. I mean, look, it's gonna disrupt the ebb 1550 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,439 Speaker 2: and flow of the game. It's gonna cause delays. 1551 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,840 Speaker 22: You could throw off a quarterbacks timing because all that 1552 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 22: stuff they want to go, they want to go, and 1553 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 22: if it's going to take time and make and slow 1554 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:35,639 Speaker 22: everything down, the you know, the potential of quarterbacks getting 1555 01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 22: out of sync and they got to you know, worry 1556 01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 22: about you know, trying to get the next play in 1557 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:39,920 Speaker 22: and trying to hurry up and you. 1558 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 12: Get it done. 1559 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,639 Speaker 22: It's it just maybe more of a potential disruption than 1560 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 22: being a good thing. 1561 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,520 Speaker 2: All that stuff. I agree. Finally, the sportsmanship. 1562 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 22: You know what, a person doesn't have to look over 1563 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,000 Speaker 22: their shoulder for the rest of their life and they 1564 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,599 Speaker 22: can sleep at night and their mind will be at 1565 01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:02,560 Speaker 22: ease that they told the truth. Like in golf, golfers 1566 01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 22: tell on themselves, and so this person also did the 1567 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 22: same thing. 1568 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, all good. The comments have been refreshing tonight to 1569 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,280 Speaker 2: hear that those sentiments. And by the way, just so 1570 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 2: everybody knows, they are only experimenting with the Hawkeye technology 1571 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:22,320 Speaker 2: right now with respect to first downs and whether where 1572 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 2: the ball is placed and whether or not there was 1573 01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,600 Speaker 2: a first down. Keep in mind, they may well go 1574 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 2: with it, but it's not going to be this year. 1575 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 2: So if you like that drama and we can all 1576 01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 2: relate to what they're talking about, then you're gonna get it. 1577 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 2: There will be no changes this year, and whether or 1578 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:45,840 Speaker 2: not they end up implementing it in twenty twenty five, 1579 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:50,440 Speaker 2: very much remains to be seen. So there's nothing definitive 1580 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 2: decided at all on that vein. All right, good stuff. 1581 01:24:55,760 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 2: Guess soon's back. Well, look, he never really left. Turns 1582 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,439 Speaker 2: out now that Charles Barkley is not retiring, and not 1583 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 2: only that he's staying with T and T. I kind 1584 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 2: of I kind of saw this coming. He's only in 1585 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,479 Speaker 2: the fourth year of his ten two hundred actually third 1586 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,679 Speaker 2: year of his ten year, two hundred and ten million 1587 01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 2: dollar deal and you know, we know that T and 1588 01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,559 Speaker 2: T Sports will have the NBA for one more season. 1589 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:29,360 Speaker 2: They don't lose the NBA till following the upcoming season, 1590 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 2: so Barkley stays, and then of course the obligatory comments, 1591 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 2: I love my T and T Sports family. My number 1592 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 2: one priority has been our people, keeping everyone together. That 1593 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 2: I believe him. I heard a story through the grapevine 1594 01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,599 Speaker 2: that Barkley paid all the support people five grand each, 1595 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,640 Speaker 2: so and he'd been the target of you know, ESPN's 1596 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:55,519 Speaker 2: courting and Amazon and NBC and they all begin there 1597 01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:01,479 Speaker 2: seventy seven billion dollars agreements after next season. The theory 1598 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,519 Speaker 2: now is that TNT Sports is going to stay in 1599 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 2: business with the NBA, but on a dotted line basis. 1600 01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 2: Remember you got the lawsuit right, The lawsuit wants to 1601 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 2: be adjudicated, and I'm not even going to dive into 1602 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,719 Speaker 2: that tonight. I got into it kind of granular fashion. 1603 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, and a week and a 1604 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 2: half ago, Barkley told the Athletic he was open to 1605 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 2: staying with T and T if they paid him in full, 1606 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,320 Speaker 2: and he was quite emphatic about it. He says, Turner 1607 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:31,640 Speaker 2: has to come to be asapp and they have to 1608 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 2: guarantee my whole thing, or they can offer me a pickup, 1609 01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 2: and there's no chance that's happening. I'll be a free agent. 1610 01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 2: Right So, the long and the short of it is 1611 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,960 Speaker 2: one of the things that's being bandied about right now. 1612 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,919 Speaker 2: We really should bring in the crew on this, because 1613 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 2: there is a theory and why not that even though 1614 01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:54,280 Speaker 2: there perhaps are not specific NBA games on T and 1615 01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 2: T or playoff games on T and T, that would 1616 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:03,120 Speaker 2: not necessarily preclude the TNA from having a postgame show 1617 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,400 Speaker 2: with the same crew. Kenny to Jett Smith, Ernie Johnson, 1618 01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 2: Charles Barkley Shack in theory could that happen? I was 1619 01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 2: thinking about that kind of to myself a while ago, 1620 01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:18,960 Speaker 2: and now there is some momentum that perhaps that is. 1621 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 2: There are at least those discussions. Kevin, let's start with you. 1622 01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 2: Do you think there's plausibility? Do you think that's perhaps 1623 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,559 Speaker 2: logical that something like that could happen even though TNT 1624 01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:33,680 Speaker 2: is not showing a game per se, just to have 1625 01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:34,679 Speaker 2: a postgame show. 1626 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,320 Speaker 12: It's plausible. I don't see why you couldn't do that. 1627 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 11: I mean, there's certainly a certain amount of people and 1628 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 11: look that the running joke is a lot of people, 1629 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,160 Speaker 11: you know, they wait for the game to end so 1630 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,160 Speaker 11: they can watch the postgame show like that, the game 1631 01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 11: is just filler into inside the NBA. So I can 1632 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:49,920 Speaker 11: see a lot of people going out of their way 1633 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,559 Speaker 11: to tune in to an inside the NBA type of 1634 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,880 Speaker 11: situation where they see Charles and if they want to 1635 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:57,800 Speaker 11: bring Ernie and Kenny and those guys back to do 1636 01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,640 Speaker 11: something from an NBA postgame standpoint, I know, granted, you 1637 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:02,840 Speaker 11: can't use the NBA branding, so they'd have to find 1638 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,479 Speaker 11: some creative way to get around that part, or probably 1639 01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,000 Speaker 11: can't use highlights or look, maybe they can find a 1640 01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 11: way to go back to the negotiating table with the 1641 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 11: NBA and find a way to use that. I'm not 1642 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,840 Speaker 11: exactly sure how that can work, but you know, my 1643 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 11: thought was with TNT Sports still having rights to many 1644 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,759 Speaker 11: other you know, sporting events, whether it's some golf events, 1645 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 11: I know they're in the college football rotation, maybe using 1646 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:24,680 Speaker 11: Charles Barkley and so that sort of you know, the 1647 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 11: format and used because he. 1648 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 2: Usually Charles bought that as well. 1649 01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,559 Speaker 11: Yeah, he gets tapped into for all his opinions on 1650 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,679 Speaker 11: a lot of different matters for him to be able 1651 01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 11: to pay off that contract that he's making a hefty amount. 1652 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:35,920 Speaker 11: They might want to try to use him as much 1653 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,599 Speaker 11: as they possibly can for as many different projects as 1654 01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 11: they can. But to answer your question, I don't think 1655 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,599 Speaker 11: it's a terrible idea at all to explore having some 1656 01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 11: sort of NBA pregame and or postgame situation, even if you. 1657 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,200 Speaker 12: Don't have the rights to the games. 1658 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:50,360 Speaker 2: Well, and here's why it might not be a terrible 1659 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:54,719 Speaker 2: idea at all, because let's let's ask part V the question, 1660 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,040 Speaker 2: do you think people would continue to watch it? I 1661 01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:57,679 Speaker 2: think they would. 1662 01:28:58,200 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 12: Many people would. 1663 01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:00,000 Speaker 11: Now I don't know if I would go out of 1664 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 11: my way personally to go to watch it, but I 1665 01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,479 Speaker 11: do think they've built up such a following, such a 1666 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 11: giant audience at this point using social media, which they 1667 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 11: do so well over there as well. Now you can 1668 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 11: put preview videos up to see what Charles has to 1669 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 11: say about X, Y, and Z. They have enough following 1670 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,439 Speaker 11: of a media following that I do think people will 1671 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 11: go out of the way to watch the postgame show 1672 01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 11: just to see what Charles and those guys have to say. 1673 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,320 Speaker 11: So I do think there's a market for it. 1674 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there are more collection of personalities. I know, 1675 01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:31,559 Speaker 2: I'm going to speak out of school here, and I'm 1676 01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:34,120 Speaker 2: going to allen a scholarship. I never really cared for 1677 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 2: the show that much. I liked the guys individually, but 1678 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,360 Speaker 2: I marveled at their inability to really know a lot 1679 01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:41,920 Speaker 2: of facts about college basketball. I always thought they were 1680 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:46,200 Speaker 2: brutal around March Madness time, but nonetheless, they're naturals. They 1681 01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 2: mesh well together, they have chemistry, and this is a 1682 01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:53,800 Speaker 2: product that people have availed themselves up for a long time, 1683 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:57,880 Speaker 2: and there was real outcry. So I think it could work. Ian, 1684 01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? Barkley stays Team T he continues 1685 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,840 Speaker 2: maybe after twenty twenty five, do they find a way 1686 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,880 Speaker 2: to continue this show in some in some form or 1687 01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:10,080 Speaker 2: fashion even though they're not showing NBA games per se. 1688 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 21: Well, I think it kind of goes without saying that 1689 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:16,360 Speaker 21: the numbers would be a lot worse just because of 1690 01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:18,920 Speaker 21: the fact that I feel like a huge chunk of 1691 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:22,600 Speaker 21: their viewership is just people who are just you know, 1692 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,680 Speaker 21: still have the game on from when it ends, you know, 1693 01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,360 Speaker 21: so that then the postgame show starts or the halftime 1694 01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 21: show starts inside the NBA, so you naturally end up 1695 01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 21: watching because of that. 1696 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:34,679 Speaker 12: I don't think that people are going to be like, oh, 1697 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:35,160 Speaker 12: you know. 1698 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 21: The game's over, let's let's switch over to this channel 1699 01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,640 Speaker 21: now so we can watch inside the NBA. What I 1700 01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 21: do think actually might work, and this is a little 1701 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:44,800 Speaker 21: outside the box, would be if they did like a 1702 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,640 Speaker 21: podcast or a YouTube channel or something. And I know 1703 01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:50,880 Speaker 21: that that's weird to say, like that would do better 1704 01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,719 Speaker 21: than an actual show on a network, but I think 1705 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:58,080 Speaker 21: in this particular case it actually would because people go 1706 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,360 Speaker 21: to YouTube, to these pods cast after games and to 1707 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 21: their specific sources defined with their favorite outlets, their favorite 1708 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 21: personalities have to say about the games as they end. 1709 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,479 Speaker 21: I really do think that something like that would be 1710 01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,360 Speaker 21: something that they could really carry the momentum that they 1711 01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:19,920 Speaker 21: have from their TNT show and you know, bring a 1712 01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,760 Speaker 21: massive audience. Because I don't know, like I'll reiterate it, 1713 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 21: I just don't think that if they brought it to 1714 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:27,320 Speaker 21: another network it would do well enough. Like I don't 1715 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:31,280 Speaker 21: think that people would switch channels just to watch them. 1716 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:32,679 Speaker 12: I think people like it interesting. 1717 01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:35,479 Speaker 2: But that's interesting because I might have got strong on 1718 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 2: that I figured if they like it, they would follow 1719 01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 2: it because they're following the personalities, you know, and it's 1720 01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:44,360 Speaker 2: just just just just a thought. 1721 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 21: But I would say that a lot of what people 1722 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,400 Speaker 21: the way people consume it right now is just through 1723 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:53,720 Speaker 21: seeing clips on social media, you know. 1724 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:54,200 Speaker 2: What I mean. 1725 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:57,840 Speaker 21: So it's it's not like people right now are are 1726 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 21: actively tuning into the show, like I it's time to watch. Well, 1727 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:03,960 Speaker 21: I mean, you know, maybe some people are, but I 1728 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:05,720 Speaker 21: feel like a lot I. 1729 01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 2: Could have it wrong. I alway thought it was appointment watching. 1730 01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,840 Speaker 2: I'm just not one of the people that make that appointment. Yeah, 1731 01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,880 Speaker 2: they run to the score, but they run to the 1732 01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,640 Speaker 2: chalkboard and they raise each other, and I'm like, I 1733 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,559 Speaker 2: don't know, man, it doesn't It honestly doesn't do much 1734 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 2: for me. But so okay, so look, the bottom line 1735 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:25,960 Speaker 2: is none of this is decided yet. It's just in 1736 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 2: the drawing board. So you got you got the show 1737 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,320 Speaker 2: for one more year. But ye're of the belief that 1738 01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,559 Speaker 2: if it's segregated, for lack of a better word, from 1739 01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:37,360 Speaker 2: regular programming, so you have to change channels to find it. 1740 01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:39,880 Speaker 21: And I know that that's weird because it's like, you know, 1741 01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 21: if it's on a podcast or YouTube, then you're still 1742 01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,960 Speaker 21: kind of technically quote unquote changing the channel, going to 1743 01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:46,200 Speaker 21: another source to get it. 1744 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:47,200 Speaker 12: But I don't know. 1745 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,719 Speaker 21: I just think that that's the way things are going 1746 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:55,479 Speaker 21: right now, and and I don't know that they're specific. 1747 01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,120 Speaker 2: I could draw a parallel think about back in the 1748 01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,559 Speaker 2: day when Chris Berman did his highlight okay, the Sunday 1749 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 2: night highlights, and the NFL games would end, and perhaps 1750 01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 2: ESPN didn't even have an NFL contract. Back then, you 1751 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:13,639 Speaker 2: just said CBS ABC on Monday night and you know, NBC, 1752 01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 2: and then the games would end and you'd rush you 1753 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:19,479 Speaker 2: changed channels to watch the highlights or see how your 1754 01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 2: fantasy team did. 1755 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:21,840 Speaker 12: Definitely, definitely, I mean. 1756 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:25,000 Speaker 2: Could that not be somewhat analogous to this and. 1757 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,799 Speaker 21: TNT No, it is, But I would say that today, 1758 01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:35,080 Speaker 21: back then, back you know, fifteen years ago, ten, fifteen 1759 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:39,960 Speaker 21: years ago, that's when cable viewing was way bigger. But 1760 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,800 Speaker 21: I think that it's shrinking gradually, not that it isn't 1761 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:47,240 Speaker 21: still huge, but I think that people now their postgame 1762 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:51,519 Speaker 21: experience has changed a lot. It's not anymore so centered 1763 01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,920 Speaker 21: around the postgame covers that's on that exact channel. People 1764 01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,000 Speaker 21: have their favorite sources that they want to go to 1765 01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:59,759 Speaker 21: get their information from, and if that's Ernie Shack and Kenny, 1766 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:02,559 Speaker 21: they'll go to get that somewhere. But I just think 1767 01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:06,479 Speaker 21: that the easier it is to consume whatever their new 1768 01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,760 Speaker 21: show is, if they have a new show at all, 1769 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:12,160 Speaker 21: then that would be the most beneficial for them, and 1770 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:14,920 Speaker 21: that would be something like you know, a podcast or 1771 01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 21: YouTube or something that keep bringing that back to the 1772 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 21: same example. 1773 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:23,000 Speaker 2: But Okay, Mark Ramsey thoughts on the TNT Charles Barkley deal. 1774 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:29,120 Speaker 22: I just thought with Charles's contract was so big that 1775 01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 22: the people that signed him would try to find a 1776 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,960 Speaker 22: way to keep him and extend his period of time. Okay, 1777 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 22: we're not going to let him just sit around and 1778 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,200 Speaker 22: collect money, or we don't want to write that big 1779 01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:43,840 Speaker 22: a check and just let him go away. If he's 1780 01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 22: still able to broadcast and do things, why let him 1781 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:50,240 Speaker 22: sit around and do nothing and we just pay him 1782 01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,639 Speaker 22: to do nothing. They were going to find a way 1783 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,080 Speaker 22: to get him to come back some kind of way. 1784 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 22: As long as it's time to negotiate, they can find 1785 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:01,559 Speaker 22: something to do. And when it comes to the point 1786 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:04,720 Speaker 22: about you were just discussing with Ian about whether they 1787 01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:05,479 Speaker 22: would that. 1788 01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:06,320 Speaker 12: Show would work. 1789 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:11,519 Speaker 22: I think those four guys are the draw and people 1790 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 22: would find a way to go watch them. Back in 1791 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 22: the in the you know, many moons ago, there was 1792 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,160 Speaker 22: George and Michael's sports Machine and the oh god, that's 1793 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:26,400 Speaker 22: remember that, and then there was the Bernman highlights. I 1794 01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:29,599 Speaker 22: have no idea, but would people switch over to watch 1795 01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,720 Speaker 22: an NBC to watch George and Michael or would the 1796 01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 22: other the other half of people stay on and watch 1797 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:40,400 Speaker 22: ESPN and watch him go boom, you know, because that 1798 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:43,960 Speaker 22: was a day when the audience would, you know, from 1799 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,160 Speaker 22: what I can tell, go and watch something. And I 1800 01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:50,000 Speaker 22: think those four guys, with their basketball knowledge and how 1801 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:53,000 Speaker 22: they entertain each other and joke around and just keep 1802 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:53,960 Speaker 22: it going. 1803 01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:56,599 Speaker 12: They would they would keep the draw. 1804 01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,680 Speaker 22: And the whole thing of why everybody was moaning that 1805 01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,760 Speaker 22: the T and T was going to lose, that's because 1806 01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 22: they were going to lose those four guys, and so 1807 01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 22: if there's if there's a way to get them together. 1808 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:10,560 Speaker 2: Except Ernie Johnson, he was going nowhere. 1809 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 22: That that was the wild card because if he was 1810 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,680 Speaker 22: if there was going to be no TNT, then he 1811 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,000 Speaker 22: couldn't go but if they could find a way to 1812 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 22: keep those guys together, I think they would still be 1813 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:20,559 Speaker 22: the draw. 1814 01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:27,320 Speaker 2: They're one thousand percent. Those guys are the draw. Their personalities. 1815 01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:29,439 Speaker 2: I think you could put all four of them together 1816 01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:32,759 Speaker 2: and they could talk about movies, they could talk about 1817 01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:36,479 Speaker 2: you know, Thursday Night Bowling League, and they're gonna draw 1818 01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:40,280 Speaker 2: an audience just because of their history and their personalities 1819 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,640 Speaker 2: and the critical match they've built on that show. I 1820 01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:47,599 Speaker 2: just like people. I just think that they've they've built 1821 01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,880 Speaker 2: a core audience of of people who just want to 1822 01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:54,160 Speaker 2: watch them kibbots about something. And because I got to 1823 01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:56,679 Speaker 2: tell you, when March Madags rolls around listening to them talk, 1824 01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,639 Speaker 2: it's not good. But their their personalities and the likable 1825 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:02,680 Speaker 2: and you know, Shaq played in the league. He's got 1826 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:04,200 Speaker 2: a hell of a resume, Barkley's got a hell of 1827 01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:07,360 Speaker 2: a resume, Kenny Smith as a resume, and Ernie Johnson 1828 01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:09,760 Speaker 2: is like the man of the people, so everybody loves 1829 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:13,400 Speaker 2: him as well. So they've got themselves quite a combination there. 1830 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 2: And you know, this is not like something that is 1831 01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:20,519 Speaker 2: brand new. This would you know, you'd be taking an 1832 01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,320 Speaker 2: existing idea and giving it a quarter turn. And so 1833 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:27,400 Speaker 2: I'm of the belief. And to Mark's point, if they've 1834 01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:29,640 Speaker 2: got seven years left on Barkley's deal, they got to 1835 01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:31,559 Speaker 2: get some return on that investment, right, and so they 1836 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:35,200 Speaker 2: want him on that network. And frankly, you know they 1837 01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:38,960 Speaker 2: need Barkley, but Barkley needs his teammates as well to 1838 01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:43,080 Speaker 2: to you know, make the product that they're putting forth 1839 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:48,040 Speaker 2: the most viable.

Take up to two am Pacific, 1866 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:25,280 Speaker 2: five am Eastern. I don't mean to be the bearer 1867 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,519 Speaker 2: of bad news. I'm not gonna kill joy, but believe 1868 01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,800 Speaker 2: it or not, in the entire National Football League in 1869 01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:37,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, only nine quarterbacks started all seventeen games. Obviously, 1870 01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:44,200 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers was not one of them. Nonetheless, nonetheless, you're 1871 01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:48,559 Speaker 2: gonna see the Jets on TV a ton this year. 1872 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:53,280 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers team has been awarded six primetime games over 1873 01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:56,160 Speaker 2: the first eleven weeks alone. That makes it the first 1874 01:39:56,200 --> 01:40:00,799 Speaker 2: time in NFL history that a team has been given 1875 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 2: that many night games over the first eleven weeks. By 1876 01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:06,639 Speaker 2: the way, the Jets also have a Week five game 1877 01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:11,719 Speaker 2: in London, which means the beginning seven standalone games before 1878 01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,519 Speaker 2: you even get to Thanksgiving this year. And that's pretty 1879 01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:16,599 Speaker 2: amazing for a team that hasn't even be in a winning 1880 01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:21,519 Speaker 2: season in nine years. But look, the truth of the 1881 01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:26,759 Speaker 2: matter is that history goes the NFL goes. You play 1882 01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:31,080 Speaker 2: the Hits. Tell me you don't want to watch the 1883 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:37,000 Speaker 2: Jets when Aaron Rodgers is playing. People hope, people hope 1884 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,960 Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers his better days are ahead. But I've 1885 01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,040 Speaker 2: talked to too many people that think his better days 1886 01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:49,160 Speaker 2: are in the rear view mirror. Look, forget last year. 1887 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,160 Speaker 2: It was a disaster, and I am rooting for Aaron 1888 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,639 Speaker 2: Rodgers to complete the season. I think it's a better 1889 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,400 Speaker 2: story if the Jets get to the postseason. If something 1890 01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:58,160 Speaker 2: flames out, there'll be a lot of I told you 1891 01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:01,719 Speaker 2: soos and so on and so forth. But my concern 1892 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:05,200 Speaker 2: is not twenty twenty three. It's actually twenty twenty two, 1893 01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:08,200 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers failed to throw for three hundred yards in 1894 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:12,120 Speaker 2: any game, not one game that year. He also threw 1895 01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:16,400 Speaker 2: twelve interceptions in the same season. That's the most since 1896 01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:19,400 Speaker 2: his rookie year as a starter in two thousand and eight. 1897 01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:24,440 Speaker 2: So look, you got the forty nine Ers, the Cowboys, 1898 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,360 Speaker 2: they all max out with six primetime games. Well, one 1899 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,720 Speaker 2: of those teams won fourteen games, one one twelve, The 1900 01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,720 Speaker 2: Jets won seven. They put a lot of respect on 1901 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:38,240 Speaker 2: the Jets name. I hope they live up to it. 1902 01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,400 Speaker 2: Coming up Chris Pohfet's World of Soccer, But first we 1903 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,840 Speaker 2: go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest. 1904 01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:45,759 Speaker 11: All right, Bernie, And there were three NFL preseason games 1905 01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:50,599 Speaker 11: on Friday Night, including Philadelphia defeating Baltimore sixteen to thirteen. 1906 01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,879 Speaker 11: Michael Pennocks junior of Atlanta got the start and completed 1907 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 11: nine of sixteen passes for one hundred and four yards 1908 01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:59,240 Speaker 11: and directed two scoring drives, and he lost to Miami. 1909 01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,559 Speaker 11: Justin Fields, playing for Pittsburgh, completed five to six passes 1910 01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:05,440 Speaker 11: for sixty seven yards and a loss to the Texans. 1911 01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 11: In Major League Baseball, the Dodgers defeated the Pirates nine 1912 01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,479 Speaker 11: to five.

Yes, we haven't talked about MLS a 1952 01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:23,160 Speaker 24: ton because of we just haven't had time. 1953 01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:24,200 Speaker 12: In the world of soccer. 1954 01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:28,600 Speaker 24: Certainly with euro Championship, Copa America and then even the Olympics, 1955 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,559 Speaker 24: it's just been completely outshaded and that's kind of rough 1956 01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,840 Speaker 24: if you'r MLS. Even with Lionel Messi, the league stelf 1957 01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:38,519 Speaker 24: finds self in frustrating terms of growth, finds self cast 1958 01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:42,280 Speaker 24: more in the foil against grassroots USL clubs around the 1959 01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:46,800 Speaker 24: country and quite honestly just demands still to see if 1960 01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:50,040 Speaker 24: they're gambit on this messy project, it will pay off 1961 01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,920 Speaker 24: to higher popularity. But Slatt took a bit of a 1962 01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:56,639 Speaker 24: different attact when it came to talking about MLS now. 1963 01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:01,439 Speaker 24: Speaking with the ESPN program First Takes, the had said 1964 01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 24: that when it comes to the game, he thinks that 1965 01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:06,960 Speaker 24: it's getting better. The quality of the game, the individuals 1966 01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:08,960 Speaker 24: is growing and getting better and better in the country. 1967 01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:11,200 Speaker 24: He points to the twenty twenty six World Cup that 1968 01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:13,320 Speaker 24: is coming for the United States and will be very 1969 01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:16,680 Speaker 24: important to MLS, especially since this is a league that 1970 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,280 Speaker 24: can really trace its modern foundations back to the last 1971 01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:23,040 Speaker 24: time the United States hosted a World Cup in the nineties. 1972 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:27,360 Speaker 24: But he says it also quote has too many rules 1973 01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:31,719 Speaker 24: to make it grow faster. Speaking about the league, and indeed, 1974 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,040 Speaker 24: there are a lot of rules that seem to phibit 1975 01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:37,519 Speaker 24: growth in Major League Soccer, and the biggest one comes 1976 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:41,040 Speaker 24: in the term of salary cap. Bernie and I think 1977 01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:43,560 Speaker 24: that might be a shock to American sports fans. We 1978 01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,439 Speaker 24: are used to this outside of baseball, but we really 1979 01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:48,799 Speaker 24: need to talk about the salary cap in frank terms. 1980 01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:51,519 Speaker 24: I think in the minds of fans out there in 1981 01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:55,320 Speaker 24: the United States, the salary cap exists to promote parody. 1982 01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:58,000 Speaker 24: It's to make sure that one side doesn't get bigger 1983 01:45:58,040 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 24: than the other. And that's taking off of the model 1984 01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:02,759 Speaker 24: that the NFL has been able to find too great success, 1985 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,200 Speaker 24: where thirty two of its teams are all going to 1986 01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:09,040 Speaker 24: be usually in the same realm of relevancy in any 1987 01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,639 Speaker 24: given year. However, really what we're talking about here when 1988 01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,360 Speaker 24: we're talking about growth, especially for a growing league like 1989 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,680 Speaker 24: Major League Soccer, is that the salary cap in a 1990 01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:22,400 Speaker 24: sport also serves a second, and I would argue more 1991 01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:27,760 Speaker 24: powerful purpose in that it keeps owners from outspending each other. Yes, 1992 01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:32,519 Speaker 24: it exists because nobody wants another George Steinbrenner making the 1993 01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:34,760 Speaker 24: rest of them look bad, because that is what a 1994 01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:38,880 Speaker 24: salary cap is is it is a cartel limit on 1995 01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:42,120 Speaker 24: owners saying we don't want you guys to spend more 1996 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:42,840 Speaker 24: than X. 1997 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,120 Speaker 12: Why do we not want you to spend more than X. 1998 01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,360 Speaker 24: It might just be for it might be for competition, 1999 01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,240 Speaker 24: but more than anything, it also makes sure that you 2000 01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,280 Speaker 24: can't then accuse other owners of not spending well, because 2001 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:55,479 Speaker 24: that was always the knockback. You'd always hear about George 2002 01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:58,960 Speaker 24: Steinbrenner in baseball outspending the other owners, and that was 2003 01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:02,759 Speaker 24: unfair to the small market guys, and always the retort 2004 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,400 Speaker 24: I heard back then Bernie was well, then just go 2005 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,240 Speaker 24: spend more money, spend money like him, and then there'd 2006 01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 24: be a lot of cries of poorhouse, even though in 2007 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 24: the modern age of baseball there's no reason for any 2008 01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:15,360 Speaker 24: owner to try to cry a poorhouse. And something kind 2009 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:19,360 Speaker 24: of like that exists in soccer that has never really known, 2010 01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:22,439 Speaker 24: a salary cap. If you go over to Europe, the 2011 01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:26,760 Speaker 24: rich are big because they are rich and powerful, and 2012 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:30,240 Speaker 24: the small guys they just struggle to stay afloat, and 2013 01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,280 Speaker 24: that might seem unfair to the untrained eye, but at 2014 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,160 Speaker 24: the same time it also ferrets out people who come 2015 01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:39,080 Speaker 24: into the ecosystem and just won't spend to compete. 2016 01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:39,400 Speaker 1: Right. 2017 01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,720 Speaker 24: You always hear about guys who come in at like 2018 01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,920 Speaker 24: the second or third tier of English soccer, buy up 2019 01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,360 Speaker 24: a club and then start to cut costs. They don't 2020 01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:49,680 Speaker 24: want to spend too much on player role and the 2021 01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:52,960 Speaker 24: fan base usually ends up revolting. Why because they understand 2022 01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,759 Speaker 24: that to compete with everyone else, you have to spend money. 2023 01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:58,880 Speaker 24: You can't treat it like a trust fund. You can't 2024 01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:02,479 Speaker 24: treat your sports club as a retirement in a vehicle 2025 01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:05,200 Speaker 24: for you to passively make money. That's always been the 2026 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:09,120 Speaker 24: problems that Manchester United fans bring up the Glazer family. 2027 01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:12,080 Speaker 24: You're not there because it is an investment and you 2028 01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,719 Speaker 24: want to see a profit. You should be spending money 2029 01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:18,360 Speaker 24: to compete at every level. And ultimately that's when people, 2030 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:21,439 Speaker 24: especially those abroad, start talking about the salary cap being 2031 01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:24,439 Speaker 24: a weird problem of MLS. It is right, that is 2032 01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:27,719 Speaker 24: what they're talking about, but more practically, it also limits 2033 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:32,080 Speaker 24: you from being unable to compete with other actors out 2034 01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:36,840 Speaker 24: there to get talents, like say slots on Abrahimovic. There 2035 01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:41,040 Speaker 24: are several player slots that are exempt from the salary cap, 2036 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:43,679 Speaker 24: but you're still limited on what you can pay out 2037 01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:48,120 Speaker 24: for those players to bring them stateside. And that means practically, 2038 01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,559 Speaker 24: if you are an MLS contending with say the Premier 2039 01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:52,920 Speaker 24: League or La Liga. La Liga has been having a 2040 01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,720 Speaker 24: very fun transfer season. By the way, you're missing out 2041 01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:58,559 Speaker 24: on too many big players, top talents who are going 2042 01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,040 Speaker 24: to go to more places where they won't have limits 2043 01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:04,400 Speaker 24: on what they can spend. You've encouraged the sort of 2044 01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,479 Speaker 24: it's okay to not spend this money to compete with 2045 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:10,200 Speaker 24: the big guys out there. And that can even be 2046 01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,640 Speaker 24: traced back to how MLS was able to bring in 2047 01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:16,320 Speaker 24: Lionel Messi, where they had to help enter Miami spend 2048 01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,840 Speaker 24: the money to afford a Lionel Messi. And here's the 2049 01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:23,120 Speaker 24: grim part about competing. If you're MLS, your entire window 2050 01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:26,160 Speaker 24: for this summer is gone. Premier League, La Liga, all 2051 01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,680 Speaker 24: the rest of Europe are coming back next week. That's right, 2052 01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:32,800 Speaker 24: August fifteenth, Thursday. We're already getting domestic season kickoff in 2053 01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:35,519 Speaker 24: La Liga in Spain. Friday will be the Premier League 2054 01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:39,200 Speaker 24: and Saturday will be a full slate of Syria. It's 2055 01:49:39,240 --> 01:49:42,680 Speaker 24: already coming back so so quickly. That's just one of 2056 01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:44,639 Speaker 24: the things I've had on MLS, Bernie. But we should 2057 01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 24: talk a little bit before we get out of here 2058 01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:49,360 Speaker 24: about the latest US men's team rumor. They still have 2059 01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:53,000 Speaker 24: yet to hire a coach. However, several newspapers out there 2060 01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:56,840 Speaker 24: in the athletic with New York Times sources reporting to 2061 01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:00,880 Speaker 24: them that Mauricio post Chattino is one of the top 2062 01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,280 Speaker 24: names for the job right now and that they might 2063 01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:06,760 Speaker 24: be pursuing him. Poschatino has a bit of an interesting 2064 01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:09,320 Speaker 24: profile right now. He was kind of the rising star 2065 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,800 Speaker 24: bringing Southampton in the Premier League up to prominence before 2066 01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:15,479 Speaker 24: he then get hired away where he spent five seasons 2067 01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:19,960 Speaker 24: with Tottenham Hotspur, going to about Tottenham Hotspur levels, never 2068 01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,000 Speaker 24: really going too far, but I don't think a lot 2069 01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,519 Speaker 24: of that was completely on him, and then getting bounce 2070 01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:28,439 Speaker 24: between Paris, Saint Germaine and Chelsea, both with outsized expectations. 2071 01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:31,320 Speaker 24: It would be very interesting to see him come to 2072 01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,559 Speaker 24: the United States. I think this is a man who 2073 01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:37,080 Speaker 24: has a lot of European experience. It would fit very well. 2074 01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:39,559 Speaker 24: He is a coach who favors a very high press, 2075 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,000 Speaker 24: attacking style of soccer, and that is something that has 2076 01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:47,200 Speaker 24: fit this profile of American soccer, who wants to press, 2077 01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,240 Speaker 24: who wants to have possession, and who wants to get 2078 01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:54,280 Speaker 24: goal scoring opportunities. That he also raised a lot of 2079 01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:57,559 Speaker 24: young players who played at his clubs ended up going 2080 01:50:57,640 --> 01:51:00,519 Speaker 24: on and playing for the English national team. I think 2081 01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,400 Speaker 24: this is guy who would be a very good developer 2082 01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:04,800 Speaker 24: of talent and someone who fits the profile of what 2083 01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:07,240 Speaker 24: the team wants to play on the field. I think 2084 01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:10,439 Speaker 24: this would be a very good interesting hire. If this 2085 01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,479 Speaker 24: is true, we will have to see, but I would 2086 01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:17,639 Speaker 24: say Poshatino definitely gets my nod of approval on first 2087 01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:20,360 Speaker 24: blush as we start to look closer and closer and 2088 01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:22,680 Speaker 24: who the Americans will have next. But that's going to 2089 01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:24,760 Speaker 24: do it for world of soccer this week, Bernie. We've 2090 01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:27,240 Speaker 24: got a lot to do here. As I said, next week, 2091 01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:30,599 Speaker 24: club play is back, Premier League is back, La Liga 2092 01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:35,040 Speaker 24: is back, Syria is back, The soccer is getting already 2093 01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:36,719 Speaker 24: into the club levels. 2094 01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:38,599 Speaker 12: We cannot wait. We'll see you next time. 2095 01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:42,519 Speaker 2: So we exit the international stage after a couple of 2096 01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:46,000 Speaker 2: years of Olympics in World Cup, et cetera, and it 2097 01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,719 Speaker 2: just feels like, man, this men's team is a million 2098 01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:51,600 Speaker 2: miles away. They don't even have a coach, and so 2099 01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:54,400 Speaker 2: I guess we have to start there. But as Chris said, 2100 01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:57,559 Speaker 2: the club leagues are upon us, and there's always plenty 2101 01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:02,880 Speaker 2: of news there as well. Coming up, we wrap up 2102 01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:06,599 Speaker 2: the show. And in addition, hell, there hasn't even been 2103 01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:10,360 Speaker 2: a game played yet. Well I don't count the preseason games, 2104 01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:15,040 Speaker 2: and yet there are already coaches on the hot seat. 2105 01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:19,600 Speaker 2: Three of them. Well you probably shouldn't be too surprised, 2106 01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:22,599 Speaker 2: at least for two of them, but the third one 2107 01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:26,720 Speaker 2: you might be a little surprised. Yep, that's what they're 2108 01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:29,639 Speaker 2: talking about. I'm Bernie Fraddle, were Keviy, lying from Las Vegas, 2109 01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:32,280 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Tirack dot Com studios. Keep it locked. 2110 01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:34,719 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Fradle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 2111 01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,639 Speaker 2: We are wrapping it up on the Bernie Frattle Show. 2112 01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:44,160 Speaker 2: And before I go any further, I want to thank 2113 01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:47,360 Speaker 2: my broadcast team. They've been with me since eleven pm 2114 01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:52,160 Speaker 2: Pacific time on well Friday night. We are now obviously 2115 01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:56,519 Speaker 2: into Saturday. We are about eleven hours away from USA 2116 01:52:56,600 --> 01:53:00,000 Speaker 2: versus France for the gold medal. What am I thought? 2117 01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:04,360 Speaker 2: Quite simple? This justin in case you didn't know, France 2118 01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:10,160 Speaker 2: does not have does not have Nicola Jokic. Yeah, so 2119 01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:14,479 Speaker 2: I like the USA. I don't know how tense it'll be. 2120 01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:18,160 Speaker 2: I think they'll end up winning by double digits. Before 2121 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:21,040 Speaker 2: I go any further, I want to thank my broadcast team, 2122 01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:24,920 Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, our technical producer, turning all the dills, keeping 2123 01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:27,680 Speaker 2: us glued together, Kevin Figures and all the updates. And 2124 01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:32,160 Speaker 2: of course Ian Roddy, our executive producer. Great job taking 2125 01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:34,400 Speaker 2: all the calls. Great job to all the callers tonight. 2126 01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:38,040 Speaker 2: It's some interesting topics, whether or not Jim Harball was 2127 01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:41,760 Speaker 2: telling the truth at the podium on Monday. Thoughts on 2128 01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:46,360 Speaker 2: the NFL and their new fangled technology that they're testing. Remember, 2129 01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:48,680 Speaker 2: they're not going to implement it anytime soon, but they 2130 01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:52,479 Speaker 2: are testing it, so I think they tend to if 2131 01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,840 Speaker 2: they can make it work right. But boy, I'll tell 2132 01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:57,960 Speaker 2: you the I'm talking about the Hawkeye technology for the 2133 01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:03,080 Speaker 2: you know, the first down marker. It was off to 2134 01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:06,559 Speaker 2: a very inauspicious start, and that means not good all right, 2135 01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,320 Speaker 2: in case you were wondering. And then of course the 2136 01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:14,160 Speaker 2: sportsmanship in USA Poland volleyball match with Johnie Spanier enlightened 2137 01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:16,679 Speaker 2: me to and a great caller, some great thoughts tonight. 2138 01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 2: You never know where the midnight hour is gonna go 2139 01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:21,960 Speaker 2: outstanding before I get to the real quickly. The three 2140 01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:26,559 Speaker 2: coaches that are on the hot seat, this slays me. 2141 01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:33,560 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson fans, if Russell starts against Pittsburgh or checked 2142 01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:36,800 Speaker 2: that against Denver in week two? Russell plays for Pittsburgh, 2143 01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:39,200 Speaker 2: and I make no mistake, He's gonna start unless something 2144 01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:41,760 Speaker 2: bad happens. Justin Fields is not a major league quarterback, 2145 01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:44,360 Speaker 2: and don't make me go into my rant again. This 2146 01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,360 Speaker 2: is a remarkable stat These are the kind of things 2147 01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:51,160 Speaker 2: that slay me. Justin Field starts against Denver week two. 2148 01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:54,520 Speaker 2: Now Denver, of course, is his former team. He'd be 2149 01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:57,600 Speaker 2: the first player, not quarterback, first player to play against 2150 01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:01,480 Speaker 2: a former team while they are still paying eighty seven 2151 01:55:01,520 --> 01:55:05,840 Speaker 2: percent of his salary. Now mark that on your calendars 2152 01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:09,240 Speaker 2: week two. If that isn't something to cause you to 2153 01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:14,600 Speaker 2: want to pay even more attention, how would that be? 2154 01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:18,320 Speaker 2: How would that go amongst the local faithful as the 2155 01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:21,880 Speaker 2: Steelers visit Denver in week two? Okay? Three coaches that 2156 01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:23,840 Speaker 2: are already clearly on the hot seat. The first one, 2157 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:27,840 Speaker 2: no surprise, Mike McCarthy, how's Dallas gonna function mentally this year? 2158 01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:31,120 Speaker 2: You got Dak Prescott, He's in limbo. He remains unsigned 2159 01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:35,600 Speaker 2: beyond this season, as does Ceedee Lamb. Jerry said, it's 2160 01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:39,000 Speaker 2: not a priority. The Cowboys loser. Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn 2161 01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:43,000 Speaker 2: to Washington. You saw an embarrassing bidder in for the 2162 01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,840 Speaker 2: team last year. That's got all this talent on the roster. 2163 01:55:46,240 --> 01:55:48,240 Speaker 2: Win twelve games three years in a row. But you 2164 01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:50,680 Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, they look like a drunk crossing 2165 01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:52,960 Speaker 2: in icy street. And I blame Dac a lot. He's 2166 01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 2: two and five in the playoffs. Sorry, you're the quarterback. 2167 01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:58,800 Speaker 2: He'll probably end up getting paid. He didn't deserve it. 2168 01:55:58,840 --> 01:56:01,120 Speaker 2: He hasn't earned it. However, he's damn good in the 2169 01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:02,880 Speaker 2: regular season, and you don't want to go back to 2170 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:05,640 Speaker 2: the Quincy Carter Drew Henson era. So you're kind of 2171 01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:08,240 Speaker 2: stuck there. But add it all up, put it in 2172 01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:12,040 Speaker 2: a blender. Make no mistake. Mike McCarthy is very much 2173 01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:17,400 Speaker 2: on the hot seat in twenty twenty four. Secondly, Jets 2174 01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:21,320 Speaker 2: coach Robert Sala appears increasingly more on the hot seat, 2175 01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:28,040 Speaker 2: almost as much apparently as Mike McCarthy has been well documented. 2176 01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:32,080 Speaker 2: He and Aaron Rodgers started the offseason somewhat poorly. Remember 2177 01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:35,440 Speaker 2: how bad the team was without Rogers last year. This 2178 01:56:35,520 --> 01:56:38,160 Speaker 2: is a good roster. The Jets have a good defense. 2179 01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:42,000 Speaker 2: You got a forty year old quarterback. Their fortunes are 2180 01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:44,120 Speaker 2: going to rise and fall with him, Make no mistake. 2181 01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,400 Speaker 2: He's got to start fifteen games. So if Rogers plays 2182 01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:50,440 Speaker 2: fifteen games and the Jets don't make the playoffs or 2183 01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:54,040 Speaker 2: get flushed out earlier or something, I think the entire 2184 01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:57,360 Speaker 2: regime is in trouble. God forbid Aaron Rodgers gets hurt 2185 01:56:57,800 --> 01:57:01,040 Speaker 2: and they don't finish up the season. With Aaron Rodgers, 2186 01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:04,680 Speaker 2: they could just clean house of the whole damn thing. 2187 01:57:04,720 --> 01:57:08,960 Speaker 2: But Robert Sala, the closer you get, he's a good dude. Okay, 2188 01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:12,160 Speaker 2: he's from Dearborn, Michigan. A lot about him, and he 2189 01:57:12,280 --> 01:57:16,200 Speaker 2: was the architect has some very good defenses in San Francisco. 2190 01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:19,040 Speaker 2: I think he's a defense oriented guy. But when you 2191 01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:23,440 Speaker 2: step away from simply being a coordinator, whether you're an 2192 01:57:23,480 --> 01:57:26,000 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator where you're basically the head coach of the 2193 01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,440 Speaker 2: offense or defensive coordinator, the head coach of the defense, 2194 01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:31,320 Speaker 2: you're different. Now you're in a CEO role. I'm not 2195 01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:34,960 Speaker 2: one hundred percent sure how well he's acclimated to that role. 2196 01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:38,800 Speaker 2: Sala is on the hot seat. The Jets need to perform. Finally, 2197 01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:41,560 Speaker 2: this might be more of a warm seat than a 2198 01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:43,240 Speaker 2: hot seat, but it could turn into a hot seat 2199 01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:48,400 Speaker 2: quick should Matt Eberfluse have a tanked season as it 2200 01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:53,919 Speaker 2: were building their world around their gifted quarterback called Caleb Williams. 2201 01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:58,520 Speaker 2: Now Justin Justin Fields is never going to work. But 2202 01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:02,160 Speaker 2: there's a feeling that the eberflu student do a hell 2203 01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:04,320 Speaker 2: of a lot to help Justin Fields either And whether 2204 01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:05,960 Speaker 2: or not that Zacher, it doesn't matter. He was ten 2205 01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:09,760 Speaker 2: twenty eight as a starter. If Eberflus, for any reason 2206 01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:13,360 Speaker 2: fails again the Bears are under five hundred, I would 2207 01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:17,680 Speaker 2: say there's a probability, more than a possibility, that they 2208 01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:20,600 Speaker 2: may look to do things elsewhere. I'm not rooting for 2209 01:58:20,760 --> 01:58:23,280 Speaker 2: that to happen. I don't dislike Matt Eberflus. I'm just 2210 01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:25,800 Speaker 2: telling you what I heard. By the way, honorable mentioned 2211 01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:28,919 Speaker 2: Saints coach Dennis Allen, He's been the definition of mediocre 2212 01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:30,640 Speaker 2: since he's been a head coach in his career with 2213 01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:33,120 Speaker 2: the Raiders are now taking over for Sean Payton. And oh, 2214 01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:35,880 Speaker 2: by the way, do I dare mention Nick Sirianni? Do 2215 01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:39,240 Speaker 2: I dare mention? The thought is in Philadelphia. If Sirianni 2216 01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:42,160 Speaker 2: doesn't take into a championship, the leash is not going 2217 01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:45,360 Speaker 2: to be very long. And this recent Deniu mal or, 2218 01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:49,840 Speaker 2: this recent tet of tet with with Jalen Hurts is 2219 01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:53,320 Speaker 2: not helping matters at all. So there you have it, 2220 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:55,480 Speaker 2: all right, it's gonna do for the Bernie Fraders show 2221 01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:59,560 Speaker 2: back on these erawaves Saturday night, eleven pm Pacific, heavy, 2222 01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:02,440 Speaker 2: heavy NFL stuff.
