Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Tyreq LA Studios, Jason Martin In from Nashville. So, Jymart,

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 2: First of all, I was out last week. How did

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: it go with the stinking genius Army span near? What

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: was the hottest take of the night that I missed?

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Oh? It was definitely me bringing up the article that

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: I read suggesting an NBA team should actually draft Caitlin

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Clark because if you can shoot like that, you can

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: succeed in the NBA. And I was just like, why

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: are we doing this? Why are we doing this to her?

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Why are we disrespecting the accomplishment she's already had by

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: trying to put her somewhere that there's no point in

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: doing this. And Arnie immediately jumped to the I would

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: draft her, like, I mean I was sure he was

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: going to agree with me, like this one was just

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: this was a slam dunk, like we don't need to

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: go here. And he was just like, well, why wouldn't

25
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: you take her in the second round? She might be

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: And I was just, oh, so that was that had

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: to have been I think the hottest take.

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: The only thing I will say is so your take

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: is the right one. But in Arnie's defense, I will

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: say there is nothing less valuable in life right now

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: than a second round nbador No, you're right.

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: And he made that point, and I said, look, if

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: we are, I said, maybe I'm being naive enough to

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: act like the draft pick matters and I'm still trying

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: to better my roster. But if I'm just gonna use

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: the second round pick knowing it's not gonna amount to anything, okay,

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: we can have a different argument there, because at the

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: very least, the one thing you do know is that's

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: going to generate publicity and sell tickets. I just thought

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: it was I just thought it was preposterous and really

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of undercutting. It's just my whole argument was just

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: what she did was and is incredible. She is outstanding.

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: She's the most recognizable college basketball player of male or

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: female whatever you want to say in the country, and

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, well, maybe she should go to the NBA,

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: It's like, no, I mean she should go be one

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: of the greatest female athletes we've ever seen, like and

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: do it exactly where she should do it because hashtag genetics, like,

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of this that's common sense. But when

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: Arnie went there, it was just kind of like, why

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: did I not see this coming? How did I not know?

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: How did I not know that this was going to happen?

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: When I thought I was just setting him up to

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: agree with me, I was mistaken.

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, if it makes you feel better, I've done hundreds

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: of shows with Arnie, and I'm pretty sure if you

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: led with why drafting Caitlin Clark is the best idea

58
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: in the history of sports, he would have just.

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: Said, well, that's the dumbest thing that I've ever hearnd

60
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: now why you can draft her?

61
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: But he also, like he also liked to dun't contest, so.

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: Oh see, I see, I will tell you.

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, what we'll lead our to kind

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: of recap an All Star weekend is.

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: Being away.

66
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: You know, I was with family all weekend da da

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: dah whatever, and I so I don't I don't.

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: Really want to do the All Star takes right now.

69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: No, we're gonna do it. We can do it later.

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he was definitely he was definitely on

71
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: his no, but it.

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Was like I had zero desire to, like the following

73
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: day be like, oh, I wonder what I missed, And

74
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: then I did love the Sunday night like takes of Wow,

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: the All Star Game.

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: This is embarrassing.

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: I was like, it's been this way for like seven years, Like, yeah,

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: why are we acting like this is some new thing

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: in some new conversation worth discourse. Uh So, anyway, well,

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys had fun. You know, Jason, I'll

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: tell you what we were planning on, starting with the

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: football news that Steve Disager just referenced with Eric Peenemy.

83
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: But since we did just talk a little college football,

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: college basketball excuse me with Caitlin Clark, it is that

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: time this week coming up, we will enter March and

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: let's at least hit the big topic out of the

87
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 2: world of college sports today or college basketball today, excuse me, right,

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to the enemy and some of

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: the college football stuff. But I'm sure everybody saw it.

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: I know that Martin and VJ just talked about it

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: as well. But there was a you know, there was

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 2: a situation down in Winston Salem, North Carolina. As Disagre

93
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: just told you, Duke got upset by wake Forest at

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: Lawrence Joel Colise.

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: Didn't you grow Am I crazy? You grew up in

96
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: I did?

97
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: I grew up. I went to Launch Joel all the time.

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: I skated. I actually did some ice skating there. They

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: used to have a minor league hockey team. And I

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: spent my entire middle school in high school years in

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: wins to Sale, and my parents lived there even longer.

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: I actually came back there after a couple of years

103
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: of college. So yeah, a lot of time there. I

104
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: played ten this on wake Forest campus, and I was

105
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: probably I probably lived seven minutes from Lawrence Joel Coliseum

106
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: for a very large stretch of my adolescence. So yeah,

107
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: just just that that whole scene, I was just kind

108
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: of it was sad, but I certainly recognized the building.

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you, you know, on a positive note,

110
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: it was great to see that building, you know, bumping again.

111
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: But on the inverse.

112
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: Obviously, I think everybody knows the story by now, but

113
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: there was a court storming after wake Forest upset Duke

114
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: Uh duke star Kyle Philipowski. I don't want to say

115
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: he was like trampled, but uh, you know there was

116
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: a commotion. He falls down. Uh you know he had

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: to limp off that there. They're saying an ankle injury

118
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: for Kyle Philipowski.

119
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

120
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: After the game, he was not happy.

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: John Shire was not happy, Kyle Philipowski quickly telling w

122
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: f M w f M Y News, It's just ridiculous

123
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: how that situation is handled.

124
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: I feel like it was personal intentional for sure.

125
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: Like I said, there's no reason why they see a

126
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: big guy like me trying to work my way off

127
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: the court and they can't work around me.

128
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: There's no excuse for that.

129
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: He then followed it up on Twitter by saying this

130
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: got a change dot dot dot and John Shire, of course,

131
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: many of you have probably heard the audio, said when

132
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: are we going to ban court storming after the game, Jason,

133
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: you know, actually referencing Caitlin Clark. This happened a few

134
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: weeks ago with Iowa women's basketball. What do you make

135
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: of court storming, and what do you make of the

136
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: situation in your hometown of Winston Saleman this afternoon?

137
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: All right, So I will say I think there's conflicting

138
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: things here. One is it's always a cool visual, right,

139
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we can admit that when you

140
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: see it, irrespective if you're not actually concerned about the

141
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: chaos of it. It is it's always a cool thing

142
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: to witness because it usually means something major has happened.

143
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Not always, I mean Clemson does it after every home game,

144
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: for example, and things of that nature, but it always

145
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: it looks it's like something momentous has happened. Okay, So

146
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: getting the esthetic side out of the way, you can't

147
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: separate it from the safety element. And it has now

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: you've seen it happen twice this year to two key people.

149
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: It happens. It happened today to you know, one of

150
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Duke's signature players. It's a matter of time before something

151
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: far more dramatic happens. It's dangerous. But I think the

152
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: biggest problem is so Shires, right, when are we going

153
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: to ban it? Well? How do you ban it? How

154
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: do you stop people from doing it? Because you can't

155
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: arrest fifteen thousand people, it becomes really difficult to corral

156
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: that situation. How is it that you can get it

157
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: across to young people who, look, we've all been young,

158
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: We've all done a lot of you know, things we

159
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: wish we had not done, and we're thankful that we

160
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: survived some of those things. But how do you convince

161
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: them not to do it? How do you make it

162
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: damaging enough that they stop doing it? Because it's nice

163
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: to say it's banned. They could come out and ban

164
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: it tomorrow. I don't think that would stop it. If

165
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: that makes.

166
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: Sense, Well, that does make perfect sense.

167
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: And I think that that That's one of kind of

168
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: two kind of takeaways that I have. The first, I

169
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: basically have the same take as you, is like it's

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: one where listen, I know, we get paid to have big,

171
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: strong opinions on every single topic.

172
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: And it's one more like I kind of see both sides.

173
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: One it is cool, Like I could tell you, I

174
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: was at the Duke Arkansas game in I think it

175
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: was late November, early December whatever it was, was right

176
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: on the I think it was the last day of

177
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: November whatever, and there was a course for me and

178
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

179
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: There are videos on my phone. I tweeted about it

180
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: the day after. Everybody loved it. It was incredible obviously look

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: like but you also don't want anybody to get hurt

182
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 2: like that goes without saying. So it's tough for me

183
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: because I do think it's cool. I do think it's fun.

184
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: I do think it's uniquely college sports in g general.

185
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: And I do think, like fans, you know, listen, let

186
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: him have the moment whatever. I also don't really know

187
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: really a couple things. One, how do you keep people?

188
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: First of all, what can you do to keep the

189
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: is there is there a way to keep court stormings

190
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: because they're fun and fans love it while also keeping

191
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: people safe. That's the interesting part. I was talking to

192
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: VJ kind of when he was switching over. He is,

193
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: of course a Carolina fan, and I remember Roy Williams

194
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: used to actually pull all his starters and send him

195
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: to the locker room. And at the time it was like, oh,

196
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: that's port sportsmanship, blah blah blah blah blah. It's like, no,

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: that's actually pretty smart. But yes, I don't know what

198
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: to do, and you know, people are saying all sorts

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: of stuff. I even see Jimmy Dikes from ESPN just

200
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: tweeted out, you want it stopped to put a five

201
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars fine on court storming.

202
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: Problem is that they do that in football.

203
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: There's a five hundred thousand dollars fine for storming the

204
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: field after a big win in football in the SEC,

205
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: and fans still do it anyway, So listen, I guess

206
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: you could say something to the effect of, like, listen,

207
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: we're not gonna be able to arrest all of you,

208
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: but if you step on the court, if you step

209
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: on the field, we are going to with the you know,

210
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: within whatever our capabilities are, arrest people put them. I

211
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: don't know, so I'm with you is I'm just talking

212
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: at circles at this point because I basically feel the

213
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: exact same way.

214
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't really know what you can do.

215
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure you could try to arrest a handful of

216
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: people to maybe make them an example. I don't know

217
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: what you could even charge them with, but whatever, But

218
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: I just I don't really know. Like it's one of

219
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: those it's easy to go on Twitter and say this

220
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: hash to stop it's on.

221
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: It's like, what do you actually do.

222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean to that point about arresting a

223
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: few people to try and make an example, that's like

224
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: arresting people at a Fish concert for smoking weeds. Sure,

225
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: I mean it really is like, as somebody that has

226
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: listened to Fish for a large part of my life. Actually,

227
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: a couple of guys I went to high school with

228
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: that were good friends of mine, we actually went to

229
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: a show and they got hit in the parking lot.

230
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't something I ever did. I didn't even know

231
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: they had it, and I was terrible and I actually

232
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: left the place after this thing went down because I

233
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: was just I wasn't prepared for that to happen. But

234
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: that's not going to stop anybody. It's not gonna make

235
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: an example because no one that does it thinks it's okay.

236
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: No one that does it thinks, oh yeah, well, this

237
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: is clearly something that is normal, something that's allowed, that's

238
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: not frowned upon. All of that kind of stuff. They

239
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: understand the risks involved, they understand that they could technically

240
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: get into some trouble, but they still want to be

241
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: a part of it. They still want to be able

242
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: to say that they've done it. So I texted this

243
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: to you. This would never happen. And I don't even

244
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: know if this would do it. I really don't. I mean,

245
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: when you were saying, is there a way to do

246
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: it without the danger involved? No, because the danger can

247
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: be to the people that are doing it just as

248
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: much as the people that are on the floor. But

249
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, could you set up something where it's like, hey,

250
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: you guys want to come celebrate, sign a waiver on

251
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: the way in. But I mean, like whatever, we got

252
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: to get all of the talent off the floor, we

253
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: got to get the kids off the floor. We're going

254
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: to get the student athletes off the floor, everybody off

255
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: the floor, and then whoever still in here wants to

256
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: go have a party, go have a party. I don't

257
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: think you can do that either. But the thing that

258
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: I texted you was, would it stop it if it

259
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: was an immediate forfeit? And I don't mean that you

260
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: could do this in reverse, Like you're the road team

261
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: and you lost and then you storm the court. But

262
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: if you're a home team and you win and your

263
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: entire fan base storms to court and it's clear as

264
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: day that that's the case, your team loses, I don't

265
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: care if you just won by twenty I don't care

266
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: if it's the greatest upset in the history of your school.

267
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: You lose. Now visually we know you won, But at

268
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the same time, a loss is a loss. Is that

269
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: enough for the fans that are so excited for their

270
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: team to understand that their decision to do that just

271
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: cost their team a w I don't know, and I

272
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: don't think that's a perfect solution, but I think that's

273
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: the only thing damaging enough, because I don't think money

274
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: is damaging enough, because the five hundred thousand dollars fine

275
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: doesn't come out of my wallet if I stormed the court. No,

276
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: it's yes, you don't even you don't even feel that pain.

277
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: It might go to the athletic department, but quite frankly,

278
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: I just don't think that is a consideration for most

279
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: of the people in the stands.

280
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder like, is there I feel like it

281
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: have to be like a minimum.

282
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

283
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: Again, this is getting into the weeds here, but it's like,

284
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: because you know, if you have one jerk, I mean, listen,

285
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: every game we watch, there's a streaker, there's somebody trying

286
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: to sneak on the field, on the court, whatever. I

287
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: think there was one in the Super Bowl whatever. So

288
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: it's like if one you know what you know, I

289
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: think I could say a hole on on on air

290
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: without you know, extenuating or you know, extending what that means.

291
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: But there's one jerk that runs onto the court. I mean,

292
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: you know, in theory, you probably shouldn't have to, you know,

293
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: uh forfeit. But then the problem becomes is it two,

294
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: is it five?

295
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: Is it ten?

296
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 3: I don't know.

297
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: I think the other interesting thing about it, And I

298
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: was thinking about this because again I was at a

299
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: court storming at Arkansas and it was so cool for

300
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: the players that were part of the team that won.

301
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,239
Speaker 2: And it is kind of interesting how it's always obviously

302
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: you never hear like like it wasn't like, uh, wake

303
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: four star player today that was like this has to stop.

304
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: It's like, no, it's the team that always has the

305
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: court storm down them, whether it's Caitlin Clark, whether it's

306
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Kyle Philipowski, whatever. And I think that was kind of

307
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: some of Kyle Philipowski's comments is like he felt he

308
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: was targeted. That feels a little aggressive to me. I mean,

309
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: I don't care how many you know, cold ones I've

310
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: had at a game. I'm not running up to a

311
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: guy that's six foot ten to forty and try to

312
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: start beef with them. But yeah, I feel like at

313
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: this point we're kind of talking in circles, Jason, because

314
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: there is no perfect answer, and it's one of those

315
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: like I said, it sucks because if you're on the

316
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: right side of it, it's so fun. And I guarantee

317
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: those kids, those students at Wake Forest are gonna remember

318
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: it forever. And I think obviously the Duke fans are

319
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: rightfully frustrated really quick. Do you think anything actually comes

320
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: of it? John Shire, obviously he's not coach K but

321
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: the coach of Duke basketball, the star of Duke basketball,

322
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: you would think have probably about as big of a

323
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: microphone as you can have in college basketball these days.

324
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: Do you think that some sort of alteration or some

325
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: kind of rule change of some sort comes of what

326
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: happened this afternoon in Winston Salem.

327
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I tend to think no, because this isn't new and

328
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: we've always known there's been danger. You're right, I mean,

329
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: this is a higher profile player, it's a high profile

330
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: program that wields a lot of power in college sports,

331
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: especially in college basketball, so you would think maybe the

332
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: microphone is a bit larger. But I just I think

333
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get what you usually get, which is

334
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: the Jay Billis's of the world, and the people involved

335
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: in the situation really talking about how it needs to

336
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: change and how it needs to be fixed, and how

337
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: it needs to be banned, and then we end up

338
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: having this same conversation a year from now when we

339
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: have a similar incident that happens. I just I don't

340
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: think this is anything new. Particularly, it's something that gets

341
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: addressed every time but never gets fixed. It's just and

342
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: I think it's because the fix is such a difficult

343
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: thing to try and figure out.

344
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you.

345
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know that there is a perfect fix, or

346
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: even a real manageable fix to the situation.

347
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,320

364
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040

00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: limitations apply. So we opened the show the big news

394
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: of college basketball, of course, the court storming at Duke

395
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: or at Wake Forest that led to an injury to

396
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: Duke Starkow Philipowski. We'll talk about that a little bit

397
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: more later in the show, but I'll say this, Jason, Jason,

398
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 2: how about this? When Chip Kelly decides to leave UCLA,

399
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: he was obviously not only the head coach, but the

400
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: primary play caller. It was a pretty big story, you know,

401
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: considering that he left being a head coach to become

402
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: just an offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Could you have

403
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: imagined that who replaced Chip Kelly as the play caller

404
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: at UCLA might actually end up being a bigger story

405
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: than Chip Kelly leaving to take a coordinator job himself.

406
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: That's pretty crazy to think about, right, Yeah.

407
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: I mean perhaps it would have been a big story

408
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: if we were talking head coach, But you said play caller,

409
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: and that's the key point. Yeah, I mean, I think

410
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: you're right, and I definitely think it's a surprise. It's

411
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: not what and I don't necessarily even mean. I don't

412
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: mean the name being a surprise or about high or whatever.

413
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: I just mean that story being this big is definitely

414
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: not something that would have been on my radar ahead

415
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: of time.

416
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So for people who missed the story, Eric b Enemy, Yes,

417
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: that Eric b Enemy, former play caller or you know,

418
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: co offensive coordinator whatever the official title was with the

419
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs obviously helped them win a pair of

420
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowls over the last couple of years. He ends

421
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: up going to Washington this past offseason. Well on Saturday

422
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: afternoon he found a new opportunit tunity as he is

423
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: now the offensive coordinator at UCLA that he is finalizing

424
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: a deal to join the staff of new head coach

425
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: to Sean Foster said a couple interesting things to ESPN

426
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: and an email. He said, I had countless conversations and

427
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: interviews with many teams, and I have been applauded and lauded.

428
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: I can't say why certain decisions were were not made,

429
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: but it had nothing to do with a lack of

430
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: anything on my end. He goes on and on, Jason,

431
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: But what do you make of the fact Eric Bienemy like,

432
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, Look, he's obviously been a point of

433
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: conversation over probably the last four or five coaching cycles.

434
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: Never gets the NFL head coaching opportunity, ends up leaving

435
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: betting on himself in Washington, and now after all that

436
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: he is back in college football, back in college football.

437
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: The Washington experiment did not help him. I think at

438
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: the time, well not, I think, I know, at least

439
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: for me, I thought, Okay, I like this move. I

440
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: could see this being good for his future. Gives him

441
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to show what he's capable of without a

442
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes there and all this. But I saw, based

443
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: on somebody else's commentary that I think Pro Football Focus

444
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: rated him twentieth in play calling last year in the NFL.

445
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: That's just a number, and it's one. It's one organization.

446
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: It's one that some people take seriously. But that's I mean,

447
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: that's a lot lower than you would have anticipated considering

448
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: the way he was talked about prior to that. But

449
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: I think that the market must not have been particularly robust,

450
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: or the opportunities in the NFL must not have been

451
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: what they were what maybe they could have been. But

452
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: I do think that the Washington experience heard him, because

453
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: for Dan Quinn to say, yeah, we're going in another

454
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: direction and him not to really you don't hear his

455
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: name being mentioned anywhere really, and all the stories that

456
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: you've gotten about him over the last handful of months

457
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: been kind of negative, about how he's tough to work

458
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: with and all of those kinds of things. So this

459
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: it didn't shock me as much as it would have

460
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: a year ago. Year ago, this would have absolutely floored me,

461
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: and it would have floored just about anybody else. Now,

462
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: it's just it almost feels like, all right, let me

463
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: go try college out. I'll go with de Shan Foster

464
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: in his first year. We'll see what we can do,

465
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: and maybe I can rehab a little bit and get

466
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: a head coach and gig maybe he gets an opportunity

467
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: in college. I don't know. I mean, there's a lot

468
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: of other circumstances here. But one thing, you one thing

469
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: that you've noticed is because of you know, guys like

470
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's getting jobs, it's not the race argument has

471
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of vanished a little bit because there have been

472
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: more more hires that have basically made it less of

473
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: an issue. So I haven't heard that talk in this

474
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: offseason the way I had in years past. It's almost

475
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: as if it just there's no traction there anymore. So

476
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: now it's just okay, well, what is the enemy as

477
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: a coach? What are his pluses and minuses? And him

478
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: ending up at UCLA at this stage just tells me

479
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: that there's definitely there. There was a bigger bloom on

480
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: that rose at one point than there appears to be

481
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: right now, even in the eyes of the media that

482
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: I think we're very, very accommodating to him through the years.

483
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: So I have two kind of quick takes and I'll

484
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: bounce them both off of you. The first one is,

485
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: let me say this, and I think we talked about

486
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: this during the season. You know, I think screwed Eric

487
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: the enemy more than anybody is. I do think like

488
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: the Washington commanders, like listen, nobody's owed anything in this life.

489
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: But like you bring him in as the OC now, listen,

490
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any scenario where he could have

491
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: had success with Sam Howells's quarterback. Okay, I get that.

492
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: I also think, you know, you bring him in, you

493
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: know his background.

494
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: And you knew what.

495
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 2: Earlier than halfway through the season. Ron Rivera is not

496
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: gonna be back next year. Like he's just not the answer.

497
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: He's never gonna be the answer. We're gonna go another

498
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: direction after the season. I'm not saying they owed him anything.

499
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: I do think that it would have been like a

500
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: pretty nice solid to be like, hey, you know what,

501
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: last six weeks of the season, it's probably not gonna

502
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: be won go earn this job. But then two the

503
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: counter to that is go prove that you deserve a

504
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: job somewhere else. Like, again, no one's owed anything. And

505
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: I'm not saying like it's the biggest crime and injustice

506
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: in the history of society.

507
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: That Eric B.

508
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: Enemy wasn't given a chance to be the os to

509
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: be the interim head coach with the Washington Commanders, And

510
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: like I said, I don't think he would have had

511
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: success because Sam Howell is limited. Anyway, I do kind

512
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: of feel like it would have been a pretty like

513
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: decent thing for the Commanders to do this year, you

514
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

515
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it wouldn't have been a harmful thing

516
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: just because they were already in the toilet, So giving

517
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: him that opportunity would have definitely.

518
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: Listen, even like Antonio, think about like even Antonio Pierce,

519
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: Like what did Antonio Pierce get?

520
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: Like seven games?

521
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: And he proved I don't think anybody when he took

522
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: the gig thought he was a serious contender. And then

523
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: by the end we were all like, you'd better hire

524
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: that guy.

525
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 2: No, then they did, and that's and that's you know,

526
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: like I said, it's it's hard for me to sit

527
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: here and say like they like I said, I know,

528
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: I've said it two three times. I want more people

529
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: say like, nobody owes anyone anything in this business. Okay,

530
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: but when you know Ron Rivera isn't you're gonna be

531
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: your guy. It's like I, by the way, even from

532
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: the commander's perspective, I don't know what the benefit was,

533
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: you know, or what the what what the harm was

534
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 2: in not doing that?

535
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: I mean, because what if he was great?

536
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: And what if he did have the postal locker and

537
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: then you have your next guy. You don't have to

538
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: go outside the building. You don't have to go get

539
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn.

540
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: Whatever.

541
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: My other thought Jason, and I'll keep this one quick,

542
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: because I do feel bad for be Enemy. It felt

543
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: like he was on the cusp there for a while.

544
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: This year he clearly was it now. You know, if

545
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: you read the quotes from you know, if you read

546
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: the votes from the enemy to ESPN, you know, he

547
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: makes it sound like he had opportunities.

548
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: This is the one he wanted. Only he knows the truth.

549
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: I will say this, betting on yourself it sounds really

550
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: cool on social media, and there's a lot of great

551
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: memes about why betting on you? You always got to bet

552
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: on yourself and it's the best thing you get. Well,

553
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: this proves and I'm not saying, by the way, if

554
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: you're nineteen and you want to start a business. And

555
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying no bet on yourself, but there is

556
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: a downside to betting on yourself, and this is it

557
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: right here, Jason. And maybe he gets back to a

558
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: place where he is a legitimate NFL head coaching candidate

559
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: competing for Super Bowls. But this isn't just one step

560
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: back at this point, this is two or three at

561
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: this point.

562
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I just a hypothetical. What do you

563
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: think his stock would look like? And how do you

564
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: think he would be viewed if he had not left

565
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City and gone to Washington, if he had stayed

566
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. Presumably they could still have won a

567
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: championship with him, right because they had already done that.

568
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: The offense was a well oiled machine with him and

569
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Andy Reid pretty much year in and year out, even

570
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: after Tyreek Hill. They were good that first year after

571
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: and won the Super Bowl. There. If he stays in

572
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City and doesn't bet on himself to go to

573
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Washington in the first place, and just sticks around, is

574
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: this an opportunity he takes or does he have another

575
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: opportunity because he doesn't also have I guess you could

576
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: call it the bad tape of him being pretty subpar

577
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the play calling and the way that

578
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: it was viewed last year, the way they did not

579
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: run the football, despite the fact that was a thing

580
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: they were good at. I mean they I think they

581
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: had really good per carry statistics, and they were they

582
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: ran the ball less than anybody else in the league.

583
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: Considering who your quarterbacks were, considering where your strength could be,

584
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: that seemed to be kind of a questionable choice. But

585
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you were in the driver's seat. You made

586
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: a move that at first I think we all understood,

587
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: but in retrospect, in hindsight, I wonder if you'd like

588
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: to have had that one back and still be kind

589
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: of a little bit cleaner with the opportunities that that

590
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: may have been there that then vanished.

591
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's tough because you know, I can counter

592
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: what I just said about you know, hey, this is

593
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: what happens when you bet on yourself.

594
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't work.

595
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: But I also think it's cooler that he did that

596
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: than just stay in casey and always lean on the cut.

597
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: The crutch of this isn't fair, I'm being judged whatever.

598
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: Like you said that, you know, there's obviously the last

599
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: three four five cycles there have been racial undertones about

600
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: why he isn't hired, you know, while let somebody else

601
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: debate if that's accurate or not. So it's it's tough because, like,

602
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: on the one hand, I did just say, hey, hey,

603
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: you know, betting on yourself doesn't always work. But on

604
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: the other hand, I don't think there's any doubt that

605
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: what you're saying is accurate or the state the question

606
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: that you posed to me. I know where you're going

607
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: with and that question is yes. I think there would

608
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: have been if he had decided after this year that

609
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: he wanted to leave Kansas City as opposed to last year,

610
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: I think he would have gotten something comparable to what

611
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: he got a year ago, which was obviously a play

612
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: calling situation with another NFL team, as opposed to having

613
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: to go to college.

614
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I definitely agree. I just wonder if he's

615
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: going to be able to alter some of the knocks

616
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: on him about being tough to deal with and kind

617
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: of dismissing people and treating them poorly, Like that's a

618
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: thing that's kind that was kind of there in Washington

619
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: that maybe we blew off faster than we should have,

620
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: and maybe that's part of the issue. I don't know

621
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: that you can get away with that in today's college

622
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: football the way you could have ten years ago, Like

623
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: there was a lot more power in the hands of

624
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: the coaches before the players were being you know, offered money,

625
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: the nil stuff, the likeness stuff. I think that changes

626
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: the game. The power structure has shifted a bit to

627
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: where college ass now have alternatives, and I don't think

628
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: they're going to tolerate the same level of like dominating,

629
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: domineering and you know, bad mouthing and all that kind

630
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: of stuff. I feel like the old DJ Diurkins and

631
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, I don't think that plays anymore.

632
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: So I just wonder if that's true about the enemy.

633
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't in a room with him to have seen it,

634
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: but if those reports are accurate in some way, I

635
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: feel like that's that's something he's gonna have to soften

636
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: and tweak, and maybe if he does, that puts him

637
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: in a better position in the future. I'm still rooting

638
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: for the guy. I'm kind of stunned that it has

639
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: gone this way for him, But you're right, he bet

640
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: on himself and the problem is the key word there

641
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: is you bet, and when you bet there's something you're risking,

642
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: and in this case, I think he risks a piece

643
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: of his reputation.

644
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: Great point, j Mark, great point. Last thought on this.

645
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: The one thing I will say, and by the way,

646
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: we'll toss it over to Saga momentarily to Saga, would

647
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: love your perspective if somebody who knows UCLA so well,

648
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: one thing I will say, if that offense does hum

649
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: and I don't know that it will against all those

650
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: really good Big ten defenses, one thing I will say,

651
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: he will get all the credit if that offense has six.

652
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: So maybe it's it's again, maybe it's another bet on

653
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: himself and we'll see if this one works out better.

654

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Air Tours Jason Martin broadcasting live from

655
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: the Tireck dot Com studios. As I mentioned, do want

656
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: toss it over the news desk Steve de Seger, You

657
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: know the Bruins.

658
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: What do you think?

659
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 7: Chip Kelly leaving as head coach and not leaving for

660
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 7: another head coaching job and leaving for now the same

661
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 7: conference UCLA's headed to the Big Ten causes a UCLA

662
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 7: to fan to say, Okay, what's what's next for this program?

663
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 7: And now they have a head coach who was popular

664
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 7: as a player twenty years ago but has never been

665
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 7: a coordinator, much less a head coach. So doubly excited

666
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 7: I think are Bruin fans right now?

667
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: And that goes back to the last point I made,

668
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: is nobody's gonna be like what it was Deshan Fosters.

669
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: You know, It's like, nobody's gonna be like, oh, it's

670
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: de Sean Foster's office. No, no, no, no, this is Eric

671
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: Betamy's baby right here.

672
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 7: So no, UCLA's won at least eight games three straight years.

673
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 7: I know they play a little more games now than

674
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 7: in the old days, but with the Chip Kelly offense,

675
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 7: they could actually run and then they finally had a

676
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 7: defense last year as well. There's a great stat in

677
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 7: the athletic the last two years, Ucla led the PAC

678
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 7: twelve in rushing yards per game, first time Bruins football

679
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 7: has done so since the mid nineteen seventies. They went

680
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 7: eight and five this past year won the La Bowl

681
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 7: against Boise State. Eric b Enemy will become UCLA's offensive

682
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 7: coordinator for the new head coach to Sean Foster. B Enemy,

683
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 7: former NFL assistant with Kansas City and Washington, played high

684
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 7: school football in LA. He'll hit the recruiting trail now.

685
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 7: I'm sure he was UCLA's running backs coach about twenty

686
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 7: years ago. By the way, former Seahawks defensive back Richard

687
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 7: Sherman was arrested for DUI in Washington two years ago.

688

728
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 2: stay on college football. We now know what the twelve

729
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: team playoff looks like, and there might be one team

730
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: that's already been screwed. We'll discuss that next Fox Sports Radio.

731
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

732
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody.

733
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Er Tords Jason mort broadcasting live from

734
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 2: the tyreck dot Com studios.

735
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: For a quiet week.

736
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 2: Jason, I'll say this, by the way, it is insane

737
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: to me how we went from nothing but NFL, and

738
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 2: I understand that the combine starts this week, so we'll

739
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 2: get more. There was nothing in the NFL this week.

740
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: It was crazy to me to see, but I want

741
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: bring it up because it was actually a surprisingly busy

742
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: week in college football, where two different things happen that

743
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: are worth discussing. The first one, we got clarification on

744
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 2: what the twelve team college football playoff.

745
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 3: Will look like next year.

746
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: Originally the plan was to have six automatic bids and

747
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: six at large bids, but obviously the PAC twelve dissolved,

748
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: which then meant that it didn't really make sense to

749
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: have six automatic bids, So we are going to a

750
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: five to seven format, which means that there are five

751
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: automatic bids to the highest ranked conference champions and then

752
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: from there there are seven at large bids. Jason, what

753
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: do you make of that news that came out this week?

754
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's I think it's really interesting

755
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: because it like, at least at first, you immediately start

756
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: to think that the conferences have a tremendous advantage going

757
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: into it, and you see where the power structure is

758
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: gonna lie, and you see where the issues are going

759
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: to be. I think that you get it right generally.

760
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: First off, ri IP pack twelve like that just that

761
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: falls by the wayside. It's we already knew it was

762
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: bakedenthy cake by this point, but it's still sad, especially

763
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: considering the season that we just finished watching them have

764
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: I wish we could see follow up to that, but

765
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: I guess in its own way, we will because we'll

766
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: still get to watch the teams, just in a different grouping.

767
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: But I just the rich is gonna get richer, the

768
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: power is going to get more powerful. And then outside

769
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: of that, you know, I think that there is a danger,

770
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: and I know we're going to talk more about this

771
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: later on in the show, there is a danger if

772
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: you put too many teams into this entirety of the finish,

773
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: that the run to the finish completely becomes meaningless. And

774
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: I think the prime example for it is college basketball,

775
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: because as good as a lot of these games are,

776
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: I just don't care from a result standpoint. I watch

777
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: it because I like the sport, because I like the game,

778
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: but I don't care about the rankings. I don't care

779
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: about what's happening on a night tonight basis because I

780
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: know Aaron that ultimately anybody worth their salts getting into

781
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: the tournament because there's so many opportunities, there's so many slots,

782
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: and as a result, on a Saturday, even when there

783
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 1: are big things happening, I don't have to I don't

784
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: have to care that much. I don't have to follow

785
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: it to that degree. There needs to be some degree,

786
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: a big degree of exclusivity to actually making it to

787
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: a postseason so that the regular season still counts, so

788
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: that it's still not even that it counts. We know

789
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: that it counts, but it counts in the hearts and

790
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: minds of the sports watching public. I think that college basketball,

791
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: and it's always been this way, but it just feels

792
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: more prevalent now and more obvious to my eyes that

793
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: it's just this is truly just we might as well

794
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: just start the season rank the teams we think are

795
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: one to sixty eight and just having play a tournament,

796
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: because outside of that, I don't know that very much

797
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: is accomplished for the sports watching public outside of the

798
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: alumni of the smaller schools.

799
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: So, you know, you hit on a point that, like

800
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: you said, we'll probably discuss later on, but that is

801
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: one of my concerns about the news this week that

802
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 2: they're they're already talking about expanding the playoff.

803
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: Uh, just insane.

804
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the latest was that there were separate meetings.

805
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: The twelve teams is locked in through twenty twenty four

806
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty five, but as early as twenty twenty six,

807
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: they could go to fourteen teams, because God forbid that

808
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: we only get five SEC teams and four Big Ten

809
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: teams really quickly, Jason, the big news, and I want

810
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: to pay off the teas from before the break. Obviously,

811
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: the twelve team structure puts a situation where the top

812
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: four bids will go to the highest ranked conference champions,

813
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 2: which obviously incentivize winning your conference, so you're not resting

814
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: starters in a conference championship game. But the counter to

815
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: that is if you're an independent, like I don't know,

816
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, the Yukon Husky.

817
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: No, I'm not kidding, kidding about.

818
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 2: You, Ku, but Notre Dame, they will never be able

819
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: to get a first round by under the current syn

820
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: Under what will be the current system, Jason.

821
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: It could be undefeated and the number one ranked team

822
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 1: by the end of the year, and they still could

823
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: be There'll be no higher than a five seed unless

824
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: they join a conference. Crazy, right, That's amazing. I think

825
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: there's more to it. I mean, I originally was just like, well,

826
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: they've got to join the conference now, but I'll say

827
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: you've made a pretty compelling argument to me. Earlier this

828
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: afternoon that I've definitely thought through a little bit more so.

829
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: I think there's a discussion to be had about this.

830
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: But on paper, it's just like, really, you couldn't be

831
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: the number one team based on the rankings, even if

832
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: you're even if you're a number one team in the country,

833
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: you're going to be the five seed because you're not

834
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: at a conference that would seem to be a major disadvantage.

835
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: Tell you what, Jason, about an hour from now, we

836
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: will revisit the college Football Playoff, all the different layers

837
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 2: to the news of this week and what could come

838
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. But coming up, we got to

839
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: go back to last weekend All Star Game was a debacle,

840
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: a lot to discuss.

841
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 3: That's next. Fox Sports Radio.

842
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday into Sunday.

00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: Tireck dot com the way tire buying should be. Jason

848
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 2: Martin Ertor is taking you up until two a m.

849
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: Eastern time, Bernie Fraddo of The Bernie Fratto Show will

850
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: follow us. So last week I was out, Arnie Spanier

851
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: filled in for me alongside Jmart and Jaymart. I missed

852
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 2: all of those All Stars Saturday festivities. Baby, it sounds

853
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: like Arnie was into the dunk contest, but all by

854
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: all accounts, outside of Steph versus Sabrina, I think that

855
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: was probably the highlight of Saturday.

856
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 3: And then we got to Sunday.

857
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: We're after Yeah, Well, after a year of Adam Silver

858
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: telling us, guys, things are gonna be different and by

859
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: the way, you sent me a great article and I'm

860
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: not surprised.

861
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 3: I didn't know this, but I'm not surprised.

862
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 2: But apparently, as the NBA really tries to close its

863
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 2: media rights deal, there were a lot of important sponsors

864
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: and executives and TV people that were in the building

865
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: last Sunday in Indianapolis.

866
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 3: And let's just.

867
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 2: Say that after a year of Adam Silver telling us

868
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 2: the All Star Game was gonna be different this year.

869
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: It wasn't at all. It was terrible. It was an abomination.

870
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: People acted as if they were surprised, even though this

871
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 2: is the way this thing has basically been for the

872
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: last five, six, seven, eight years, however long it's been, Jason.

873
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 3: There's a lot of angles to take.

874
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: But let's start with another disastrous All Star weekend for

875
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: this league. Bad product. Players don't want to be there.

876
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: You privately heard that players now want to be paid

877
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: to be there. Anthony Edwards is saying it's an All

878
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: Star game? What did you expect? It was just you know,

879
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: listen it was. I think it was just a worst

880
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: case scenario from every angle. I don't think there really

881
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: is a single positive really to take out of that

882
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: last weekend.

883
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: No, I don't either. And all you need to know

884
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: is the stories coming out after about how upset Adam

885
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: Silver was and if you saw the trophy presentation even

886
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: after the game, because you know, I hosted with Brian

887
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: no on Monday morning on Two Pros and a Cup

888
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: of Joe, and I told Bee I sent him a

889
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: text on Sunday night. I was like, well, first quarter

890
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: is over and somebody's probably gonna hit two hundred, but

891
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm done, like I'm tuning out. If there's something that

892
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: big that happens after this point, I'll see the highlights.

893
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: I'll double check. So I'm certainly up on it to

894
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: talk about it in the morning. But I pretty much

895
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm all set. I know what this is. I've seen

896
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: this before. We've all seen this before. And turns out,

897
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: YEP didn't miss much except Karl Anthony Town's going for

898
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: thirty one in the final quarter to go for fifty

899
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 1: for his team to lose by twenty. Team that scored

900
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: well over two hundred points like it. But Adam Silver

901
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: went during the presentation given the MVP and and awarding

902
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: the East to win. He's just like, congratulations to the East.

903
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: You guys scored more points. I guess that that was

904
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: not a parody. He was furious. He was furious. People

905
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: inside the league were furious. And I just I don't

906
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't have any more direct and I don't have

907
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: a kinder way to say this to Adam Silver, but

908
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: to say it this way, you reap what you so, brother.

909
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: I know you. You tried right, you went back to

910
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: East West. You told people behind the scenes, you told

911
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: the guys you're like, we need you to dial in

912
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: this year. But nobody, nobody is threatened by you. No

913
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: one sees you as an authority figure. They see you

914
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: as a guy that wants to be cool around the athletes.

915
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: That's that's how it feels. I understand really likable commissioner.

916
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: I see that all over the place. It's just you know,

917
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: he does all the right things. He does all the

918
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: media appearances and all this. I just don't care if

919
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: your league is running rough shot over you day after day,

920
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,479
Speaker 1: night after night. These guys can do whatever they want

921
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: because there's nobody there to check them. There's not even

922
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: if they do things that should probably get them, you know,

923
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 1: a season long suspension. You know, go down to Florida

924
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. We'll put you back on

925
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: the floor in a week. Like every opportunity that you

926
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: have had to be the adult in the room, the

927
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: way like a Roger Goodell has been. Yes, you can

928
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: hate on them all you want, but Roger Goodell came

929
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: out to teams and basically said, at the end of

930
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: the year, if you're out of it and you just

931
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: decide you're not going to play any of your guys

932
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: and all this, we're gonna find you. Like, we understand

933
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: that there's a product here, there's an expectation from that

934
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: product because we have a lot of people paying a

935
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of money or paying their paying in their time

936
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: to watch you, and there there's nothing without them. And

937
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: Adam Silver he's just cowtowed so many times that why

938
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: would him begging for you to try? Isn't gonna make

939
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: you try because there's nothing to back that up. Okay, okay, man, yep,

940
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna give it. We're gonna give it our all.

941
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: And then you go out there and it's see All

942
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: Star Game. And then Anthony Edwards, he's not even a

943
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: guy that has very much equity in the league. His

944
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: name is just really becoming relevant over the last couple

945
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: of years. And he's a superstar level player. But it's

946
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: not like it's Lebron James saying this or something like that.

947
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: It's just he came out. He's just like, I don't

948
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: see it changing. Man, it's an All Star Game. It's

949
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: just imagine that being said by an NFL player, and

950
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: just there's there's when I heard it was just like, well, man,

951
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: there's not anything that he's not wrong. He's not wrong

952
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: at all. Who is it that is going to actually

953
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: enforce the All Star Game mattering? It certainly is not

954
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: going to be Adam Silver.

955
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: There's so many angles, so much to discuss, but I

956
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 2: think the baseline that the baseline talking point is exactly

957
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 2: what you just said, is that, And I think this

958
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 2: has been a misinterpretation from the beginning on Adam Silver

959
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: is like, first of all, it's just, you know, I've

960
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: always said this about him. He's great at being very

961
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: vocal about things that nobody cares about. Cool, you painted

962
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: social justice slogans on the court. Cool, you know he's now.

963
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this one. They're expanding

964
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 2: the NBA Draft from one day to two days. That's

965
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: literally something that's happening. It's like, cool, all the issues

966
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,479
Speaker 2: that matter are trending in the wrong direction. Regular season

967
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: ratings are down, postseason ratings are down. Last year, you

968
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 2: had the lowest rated All Star Game ever so many.

969
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 2: I guess it's a positive that it was up a

970
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 2: little bit this year.

971
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: So we're not even watching the NBA Draft, Adam, Like,

972
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't I understand why the NFL tried to turn

973
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: it into a weekend because people will actually pay attention.

974
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: We already made a joke not even knowing that we

975
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: were gonna go here talking about the NBA Draft, about

976
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: how useless the second round NBA Draft picks are so

977
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: why are you moving it? Like no one watches past

978
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: the first fifteen picks of the NBA draft anymore.

979
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's gonna be bad this year. But

980
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 2: that's We'll get to the draft in June. But this

981
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 2: is the point, is that like, one, he solves problems

982
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 2: that don't need solving. But two, I think what you

983
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 2: said about Goodell is And by the way, I've never

984
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: understood like the anti Goodell rhetoric because all that guy

985
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: does is make money for his owners. Now you could say, well,

986
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 2: Adam Silver, I mean the media rights are up, blah

987
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. It's like media rights are up everywhere.

988
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: If you're a live sport, you are going to make

989
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 2: more money. But ratings aren't up. And here's the thing, like,

990
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 2: and you know anytime that that anyone says anything about ratings, Oh,

991
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: you know, the NBA's an international game. You got a

992
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: factor in streaming whatever. I can't speak to all of that,

993
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 2: and I'm not a ratings expert.

994
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: What I do know No.

995
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 2: What I do know, though, Jason, is this, we just

996
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 2: had the most watched Super Bowl of all time. Okay,

997
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: you can say that's Taylor swift whatever. Okay, college football

998
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 2: ratings are through the roof. We just had the most

999
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 2: watched first weekend of the NCAA tournament on the men's side. Ever,

1000
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: we just had the most watched women's final forever, I believe,

1001
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: and I didn't look it up and I didn't do

1002
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: my homework. I think we just had the most watched

1003
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: college baseball World Series. So literally, oh, by the way,

1004
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: the Stadium Series last week it was I believe the Devil.

1005
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 2: It was the Eeloders and Rangers. And yes, most watched

1006
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: hockey games of the last like fifteen years. So it's

1007
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: like every single sport is up except for yours. And

1008
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: this guy has been defended breathlessly for years, and I

1009
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 2: think people are finally kind of smartening up. Like listen,

1010
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but like, by

1011
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 2: the way, you're like, the commissioner is not supposed to

1012
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: be liked by the players because he has to be

1013
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: the guy that makes the hard decisions. He works for

1014
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 2: the he or she works for the owners. It's not

1015
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 2: a job where you are supposed to be in the

1016
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: player's quarter. They have a union for that. So it's

1017
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 2: just like I've never liked the guy. I've always thought

1018
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: he was a phony. And what you said, he's reaping

1019
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: what he sews because now the toothpaste is out of

1020
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 2: the tube and he's trying to get it back in. Uh,

1021
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: really quick, and I'll toss it back to you. I

1022
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 2: know you mentioned working with Brian no earlier this week.

1023
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 2: I was working with Rich Orenberger yesterday and Rich and

1024
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 2: Isaac Loankrahn were like, well, well, how does this get fixed?

1025
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't think it does get fixed,

1026
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: because you, like, you're not taking away the game, you know,

1027
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: Rich suggested like, and I want to speak for Rich,

1028
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: but he's like, well, maybe you do. Like a one

1029
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 2: on one competition. It's like you think these guys, these

1030
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 2: guys won't even play, they're not even gonna try in this.

1031
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: Their pride will never let that go because just the

1032
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: possibility of them losing is enough for their brand exactly

1033
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: to take a hit that they won't allow.

1034
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: And so I don't know what you do.

1035
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 2: But and by the way, it's not just the All

1036
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: Star Game, it's everything surrounding this league that's head in

1037
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 2: the wrong direction. But it all starts with one person,

1038
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: one event, whatever I've gone it long enough, just take

1039
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: it away.

1040
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, I mean it definitely. It starts at the

1041
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: top because there's a difference between being liked and respected, yes,

1042
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: and it's a tough balance to walk to find your

1043
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: way into both because to be a supervisor and also

1044
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: to be liked. Really, the only thing that you can

1045
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: do is just be really, really fair and have your

1046
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: ears open to listen to what's being said from the

1047
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: other side. But ultimately, anybody that works for someone understands

1048
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: that their bottom line is different than yours. Yes, you're

1049
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: working for that person. That person's responsibility is to make

1050
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: as much money, as you said, for the owners, but

1051
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: also just for the league, to grow the league and

1052
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: to put it in the best position possible, which should

1053
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: translate to you as well. And there can be balance

1054
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: issues where it's going too much to the owners at

1055
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: the expense of the players, and that's not good either.

1056
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: But I just get don't you just get this feeling

1057
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: that these guys are like, yeah, gotta go meet with

1058
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: Adam Silver today, A man, I love that. Dude. Man,

1059
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a sandwich and like hang out or whatever,

1060
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: and then walk away and make a phone call be like, yeah, no,

1061
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: we're just gonna keep on doing what we've been doing.

1062
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: Like there's no you don't have to be mean, but

1063
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: you have to be willing to stand up and be

1064
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: called a jerk sometimes in a role like that when

1065
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: when Noah and I were hosting on Monday, he said,

1066
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: and I kind of let him straight to this, if

1067
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: David Stern's your commissioner, this kind of stuff's not being tolerated.

1068
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: Like David Stern, he was a controversial figure. Roger Goodell

1069
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: is a controversial figure. I certainly don't agree with everything

1070
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: that Roger Goodell has done, but I do think I

1071
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: do think that NFL players know that there is a

1072
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: line that they better not cross, because once they step

1073
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 1: into a line where the optics are starting to harm

1074
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,760
Speaker 1: the league, that's a problem. If you start to harm

1075
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: the league's bottom line, harm the opinion of the league,

1076
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: harm the integrity of the league. Calvin Ridley, you know,

1077
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: all of that kind of thing that's going to end

1078
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: up being right on your doorstep. And in the NBA,

1079
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: it's not like that. In the NBA, my shoulders out,

1080
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm out tonight, or whatever it is. And the perception

1081
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: has become the reality and then when you watch something

1082
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: like that All Star Game, it is impossible to take

1083
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: seriously anyone who defended prior to that All Star Game

1084
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: that those that are being critical or just being uber critical.

1085
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: And these guys love this game and they love their fans.

1086
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: I just anybody that any fan out there that thinks

1087
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: that the the NBA players don't care about them, how

1088
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: could you? How could you argue against it? Even if

1089
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: it's not true, even if it's a blanket statement. A

1090
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: lot of these guys do care. The optics and the

1091
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: way this product is presented on a regular basis, and

1092
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: the dial in, dial out mentality of it, it just

1093
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: makes it such a difficult proposition for an average sports

1094
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: fan to want to invest time and money into that league.

1095
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 3: And it goes It's what I say all the time.

1096
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: It's exactly what I say.

1097
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 2: Is that you know, for me as a consumer, there

1098
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: are plenty of times where I want to tune into

1099
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: a Thursday night or Saturday or Sunday, and it's just

1100
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 2: you just you never know who's gonna play and when,

1101
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: and it's just it's just a slippery slope because you

1102
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 2: look at everything going on and it keeps trending in

1103
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 2: the wrong direction and to our points, I don't know

1104
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 2: how it gets better. Fox Sports Radio Erra Towards Jason Martin,

00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:06,080

00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,640

Speaker 3: On that boy blew my mind.

1109
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: I don't get it, and it speaks to Adam Silver

1110
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:15,200

00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: All right, Jason, there, I mentioned it before the break.

1122
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 2: There is another story that came out NBA All Star weekend,

1123
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 2: and what I would say is that there are you know,

1124
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 2: there are situations where I can like what Adam Silver

1125
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 2: does not like what Adam Silver does, not like what the.

1126
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 3: NBA does whatever.

1127
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: There are also very few times where I see something

1128
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 2: and whether I like it or not, I just don't understand.

1129
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 2: And I had one of those situations earlier this week.

1130
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 2: So there was a story that came out. I'm trying

1131
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 2: to pull up right now. But the NBA shortly after

1132
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: hosting the All Star Game and one of its smaller

1133
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: markets in Indianapolis, they put out new rules on what

1134
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: cities are allowed to host the All Star Game and

1135
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: requirements that are expected of All Star Game cities. Those

1136
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: requirements include seventy two hundred and fifty hotel rooms in

1137
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 2: a minimum of three five star hotels, convention center of

1138
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 2: sixty six hundred and fifty thousand square feet of exhibition space,

1139
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: seventy five NonStop domestic flights, and at least twenty international flights. Well,

1140
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: I don't have a full list of every single city

1141
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 2: that now does not qualify to get All Star Games,

1142
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 2: but I know there's a few. Oklahoma City would be one, Minnesota,

1143
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 2: Minneapolis in Minnesota would be one.

1144
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 3: Milwaukee would be one as well.

1145
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 2: And I understand, like if we were talking about Super

1146
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 2: Super small cities that don't have like that, that literally

1147
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 2: don't have the hotel space or whatever. That's one thing,

1148
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 2: But I find it very strange that the NBA would

1149
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: make this decision for two reasons. One, it's already a

1150
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: league where there is a disparity between the haves and

1151
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 2: the have nots. But I also just feel like all

1152
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: you're doing is pissing off the owners of those small

1153
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: markets in Milwaukee, in Minnesota, in a Oklahoma city.

1154
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 3: I just find this very weird. Jason. I'm not even

1155
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 3: gonna crush at himilver.

1156
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 2: I just I don't really understand it, and I think

1157
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 2: all you're doing is pissing off probably five to ten

1158
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: of your owners by making this decision.

1159
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a thing in a lot of

1160
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: large events. Like I remember when there was talk about,

1161
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, why is it Nashville got a Super Bowl?

1162
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look what the NFL draft drafted here. And

1163
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: I found out pretty quickly there after when some of

1164
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: the discussions were being had one of the reasons there's

1165
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: a new stadium coming to Nashville is to get a

1166
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and to get a WrestleMania, to get a

1167
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: college football championship, or like any big event you have

1168
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: to have. There are certain qualifications, and a lot of

1169
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: it does sometimes come around you need thirty thousand hotel rooms,

1170
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: or you need this amenity or this. It almost is

1171
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: like a concert rider for like Katie Perry all the

1172
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: stuff she needs in her dressing room and all that

1173
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I mentioned her just because I remember

1174
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: it was a story a few years ago. The problem

1175
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: I think for the NBA is that the All Star

1176
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: Game ain't the super Bowl exactly. The NBA All Star

1177
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: Experience ain't some championship level thing. And I'm saying a

1178
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: and I understand, but it's it comes across like you're

1179
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: talking about the haves and have not. If I wanted

1180
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: to be really, really cynical, I could say this is

1181
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: a way to exclude cities NBA stars don't want to

1182
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: party in and just leave it at that and says

1183
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: that's why the rule is there, is to encourage more

1184
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: guys to want to be there. Because it's in Miami.

1185
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: We could party in Miami. We can go to whatever

1186
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 1: it is six one two or whatever that place is called.

1187
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: If we go to New York, we go to LA

1188
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: If we go to these big cities and these big

1189
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: media markets. Then that's you know, that's gonna encourage these guys.

1190
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna want to be there more or whatever

1191
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: like that. That's me being cynical. I don't know that

1192
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: that's the case, but I don't think that the NBA.

1193
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: I feel like it should move around from NBA city

1194
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: to NBA city to NBA city. Give every fan base

1195
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: that has a team, that supports a team the opportunity

1196
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: to watch the best in the world, even if it's

1197
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: an exhibition and basically a globetrotter's game at this point,

1198
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: give them the opportunity to have that moment in their city.

1199
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, think about how Orlando or how Oklahoma City,

1200
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: for example, would embrace an All Star game and an

1201
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: All Star situation and would roll out the red carpet

1202
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: for the NBA. That's a thing that I think you

1203
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: want to do because you want your league to be

1204
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: with its people. You want your league to be available

1205
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: and feel like it's there for all fifty states, that

1206
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: it's there for all the NBA cities at least in

1207
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: this case, and move around, even if it's not the

1208
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: glitziest city this year, at least it's an NBA market,

1209
01:00:55,560 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: and you're also encouraging more NBA interest inside that market.

1210
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: If it's a smaller city and maybe it's not one

1211
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: of the most popular of the smaller cities or whatever

1212
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: like that, when it comes to attendance, then encourage it

1213
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: by bringing everybody there and really show them that you

1214
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: want them, don't just demand that they have to want you.

1215
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the biggest things is

1216
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: it feels like the NBA. The way the league comes

1217
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: across a lot of the times is you need us,

1218
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: we don't need you, And unfortunately that's not really the

1219
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: way it is. It's actually the opposite. Like if the

1220
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: NBA disappeared, it would stink for me because I like

1221
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: watching the NBA, but we would continue in our lives.

1222
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: We would have other things that we could do. The

1223
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: league exists because of its fans, because of these cities

1224
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: that have invested a lot to bring a franchise there,

1225
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: to put the infrastructure together. To then say, yeah, well,

1226
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: you don't have enough hotel rooms and you don't have

1227
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: enough cherries in the lobby for me to be there.

1228
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: That's a bad look for an NBA that needs a

1229
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: good look.

1230
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly it. Is that I basically agree with

1231
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 3: everything you said.

1232
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Don't need to spend too much more time on this,

1233
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 2: but like I just think as critical as we've been

1234
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 2: in the NBA over the last twenty five thirty minutes,

1235
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 2: I do think there is like a civic pride in

1236
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: having an event like this, especially by the way, in

1237
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 2: a place like Oklahoma City that doesn't have a lot

1238
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 2: of these opportunities.

1239
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 3: Milwaukee is another one.

1240
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Milwaukee, I think they either are building

1241
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: or just built a brand new arena, and like you know,

1242
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a lot of benefits to it.

1243
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 2: By the way, Alex Rodriguez is a partial owner of

1244
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,959
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I think he's talked publicly about

1245
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 2: bringing an All Star Game to Minnesota. So I just like,

1246
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 2: if it physically can't be done, like if they're just

1247
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: I understand there has to be baseline minimums. And I've

1248
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 2: actually heard Colin Cowherd, who spent some time in Portland,

1249
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 2: say like, this is why Portland has never hosted an

1250
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 2: All Star Game. There's just not enough hotel rooms. It's

1251
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: just a it's just a math equation, to be honest.

1252
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: But if it's been done in Salt Lake City, if

1253
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: it's been done in Indianapolis, which it has been in

1254
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I tend to think that

1255
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 2: you can probably find a way in virtually all of

1256
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 2: these cities. And then oh, by the way, like, uh,

1257
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 2: you know, if in Oklahoma City wants it, they don't

1258
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 2: have the ability, then you just you say that and

1259
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 2: it's not a knock, it's whatever. But I think all

1260
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 2: you do is, again, you ostracize more people when you

1261
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: simply don't need to. Fox Sports radio erators Jason Martin,

1262
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Tireck dot Com studios. Jason, there

1263
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 2: was one more thing from All Star Weekend that I

1264
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 2: think is at least worth quickly discussing.

1265
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 3: We're gonna get to.

1266
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: That next before we do, though, de Sega. By the way,

1267
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: earlier Lorena said you were glowing in the in the

1268
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 2: booth over there. I don't know if you saw a

1269
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 2: funny you just we were full of life and all that.

1270
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: So I just wanted I just want you to know

1271
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 2: you're on your a game today. That's all I gotta say.

1272
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 7: No, thank you very much. You mentioned arenas the Clippers.

1273
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 7: Of course, we'll have a new Arena starting next Sea

1274
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 7: that is opening across the street from the Rams Stadium.

1275
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 3: Me and Manzi had this debate on air.

1276
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 2: I get the idea of wanting your own place, but

1277
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 2: as somebody who just went to Sofi Stadium a few

1278
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: weeks ago, you go there regularly, I think it's gonna

1279
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: be tough to get people there on like Tuesday, like

1280
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 2: the I thought the same.

1281
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 7: Thing when they built the Lakers Arena Downtown LA. I said,

1282
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 7: you're gonna have to drive to downtown for a seven o'clock,

1283
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 7: seven to thirty game.

1284
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 3: It has been done.

1285
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 7: I agree. I've thought the same thing now for Inglewood, saying, really,

1286
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 7: you're gonna have both of those across the street and

1287
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 7: the Forum still exists at the other end.

1288
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 3: Of the block for concerts.

1289
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 7: By the way, but the Clippers have been a renter,

1290
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 7: not a co owner downtown LA. So when you got

1291
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 7: a guy that can pay cash for his team in

1292
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 7: the first place, he's building his own arene.

1293
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 2: I get why the decision was made. I just wonder.

1294
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm not being facetious. I mean

1295
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 2: there's a chance they're coming off literally an NBA title

1296
01:04:58,280 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: with the way they're playing. I'll believe that when I

1297
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 2: see but I mean that that changes the math equation

1298
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 2: on that as well.

1299
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: But I just think it's tough, so but anyway to

1300
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 3: say it.

1301
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 7: And they did announce that it's a couple of years

1302
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 7: in the future that new Clippers Arena will be hosting

1303
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 7: an NBA All Star Game, just not Milwaukee in Milwaukee.

1304
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 7: As soon as you mentioned hotel rooms on this thing,

1305
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 7: it reminded me of one city, Jacksonville, Florida, because they

1306
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 7: haven't been able to get the college football final and

1307
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 7: they did have a Super Bowl about twenty years ago,

1308
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 7: and I remember the story was in order to shoehorn

1309
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 7: enough hotel rooms in Jacksonville, Florida for Super Bowl week,

1310
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 7: the city wound up getting cruise ships to park there

1311
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 7: and they just use those as the extra hotel rooms

1312
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 7: so they could have enough space. By the way, as

1313
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 7: you guys did mention Caitlin Clark of Iowa last weekend,

1314
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 7: certainly on the show, it was just yesterday the Big

1315
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 7: Ten announced that their women's basketball tournament, still a couple

1316
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 7: weeks away, has sold out in advance for.

1317
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 3: The first staples.

1318
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 8: There's enough hotel rooms for Caitlyn Clarks, but apparently not

1319
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 8: the All Star weekend, Adam Silver, explain yourself.

1320
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 7: They're going to be at an NBA arena in Minnesota

1321
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 7: for that. Now, I assume the upper level nosebleed seats

1322
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 7: are going to be blacked out, blocked off, but they

1323
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 7: are expecting in the five days attendance of over one

1324
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 7: hundred thousand for that. So I looked up on stub Hub.

1325
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 7: If you want a ticket now on the secondary market

1326
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 7: for the Big Ten Women's basketball final, it's about two

1327
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty dollars or more. Compare that to stub

1328
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 7: Hub for Lakers versus Clippers next weekend is about one

1329
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty dollars or more.

1330
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 3: Poor Adam Silver's just take it left and right here.

1331
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: That's not even astray. That's a direct shot right there.

1332
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 7: Well, we've mentioned and get often gets mentioned on the

1333
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 7: Colin promo, which is still running. How the Caitlin Clark

1334
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 7: IOWA game outrated a Celtics NBA game head to head

1335
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 7: on a same cable night a few weeks ago.

1336
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: I love come, but I think that was the South

1337
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: Carolina LSU game that we talked about.

1338
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 7: Oh, the women's basketball Top tenah, No, not an Iowa game.

1339
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, because he references heat Celtics and that was

1340
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 2: I believe the game that actually got outrated by South

1341
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 2: Carolina LSU.

1342
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 7: And by the way, I think it's Big Ten network

1343
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 7: that has all this women's hoops for the conference tournament,

1344
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 7: so good for them, but it's not being dished out

1345
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 7: to other cable channels despite the current popular and there's

1346
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 7: still the Peacocks streaming stuff in regular season, and even

1347
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 7: people who want to see some of her games recently.

1348
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 3: Have not been able to see them.

1349
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 7: The last notable college football men's college basketball men's final

1350
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 7: of the night is in USC wins at UCLA sixty

1351
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 7: two fifty six. The UCLA Bruins fourteen and thirteen this season,

1352
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 7: USC with a losing record, they're up to eleven and sixteen.

1353
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,959
Speaker 7: Bronni James, off the bench for the Trojans, had one

1354
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 7: shot and two fouls. But yeah, he's going straight to

1355
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 7: the NBA.

1356
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 3: In the NBA, though, I feel bad for the kid.

1357
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 2: His dad likes to talk too much, which we're gonna

1358
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 2: ironically a good tease for the next segment.

1359
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 7: But what bothers me is the media members who two

1360
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 7: years ago were just eating that up as if it

1361
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 7: was a possibility when he wasn't the best player on

1362
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 7: his high school team.

1363
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 3: This was not Keng Gervey senior and junior. No Lebron,

1364
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 3: thank you.

1365
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,519

01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 7: And we mentioned this on the last night's show since

1383
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 7: the NFL just announced that the salary cap for the

1384
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 7: coming season is set at about two hundred and fifty

1385
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 7: five million dollars per team for next season. That's up

1386
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 7: from two hundred twenty five mil last year. A decade ago,

1387
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 7: the cap was under one hundred and fifty mil. So

1388
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 7: things are good in the NFL still, even though total

1389
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 7: player costs are going to be about three hundred and

1390
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 7: thirty million dollars per team. Some may say, well, how

1391
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 7: do you turn a profit you got to spend three

1392
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty million a year on Well, they don't

1393
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 7: open up the books. NFL owners except the Green Bay

1394
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 7: Packers are owned by shareholders, publicly owned, so we know.

1395
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 7: The Packers, for example, still reported a profit of almost

1396
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:59,600
Speaker 7: seventy million dollars just pure profit. Wow, seventy mil. The

1397
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,799
Speaker 7: exact math revenues of six hundred and ten mil minus

1398
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,480
Speaker 7: the five hundred and forty mili in operating expenses equals

1399
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 7: seventy mil cash. Thank you for a big a part

1400
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 7: of the NFL. How any team loses money in that

1401
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 7: league is beyond me.

1402
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 3: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve De Sager.

1403
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 2: Tosaga will be back in just one moment with his

1404
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 2: extended update. Fox Sports Radio ertors Jason Martin broadcasting live

1405
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 2: from the Tireck dot Com studio. So, Jason, I just

1406
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 2: I did tease it before we got to disagre, and

1407
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 2: I mentioned it in De Sager's update. He referenced kind

1408
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 2: of some of the stuff Lebron said about Bronni and

1409
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 2: I saw something come out of All Star weekend that

1410
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 2: I was thinking about. I just want your perspective. I

1411
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 2: don't know that I have like a scorching hot take

1412
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 2: on this. But among all of the many things that

1413
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: Lebron said throughout the week and throughout the weekend, he

1414
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 2: did say that, oh, you know, he's not quite sure

1415
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,679
Speaker 2: if he wants a retirement tour, and his insinuation was, well,

1416
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 2: you know, I don't deal with praise very well, which

1417
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 2: was the biggest His nose grew about six inches when

1418
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 2: he said that. But neither here nor there. But I

1419
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 2: was thinking about this retirement tours. Are you know we've

1420
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 2: seen a few in our day. Derek Jeter Kobe, even

1421
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 2: coach k and I think they've all been like, you know,

1422
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 2: even when you go on the road, it's like a

1423
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 2: ceremonial celebration.

1424
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 3: People like you.

1425
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 2: Even a guy like Jeter or Kobe that was maybe

1426
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 2: you know, disliked during their prime, by the time they

1427
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 2: got to the end, they were liked. But I just

1428
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 2: bring it up because I was thinking about Lebron and

1429
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 2: this isn't I'm not just trying to crush Lebron, but

1430
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 2: I really do think this is if he does a

1431
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 2: retirement tour, Like, I don't think it's just gonna be

1432
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 2: he goes to forty one road games and he just

1433
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 2: gets a standing ovation every single time he goes, and

1434
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 2: he's beloved and everybody gives him a rocking chair, Like

1435
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 2: I feel like it would be more of a divisive.

1436
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 3: Angry maybe retirement, Like I don't think.

1437
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 2: It would go way in his head that Lebron seems

1438
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 2: to insinuate that he thinks it would. What do you

1439
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 2: think would actually happen if he decided to do a retirement.

1440
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,879
Speaker 1: To him, I mean, I think for the most part,

1441
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 1: it would be a lot of adulation. It would just

1442
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: be kind of the respect for what you've seen from

1443
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: him on the floor for such a long time, there

1444
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: would be I think it would be less of a

1445
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: love fest than a lot of others that would be

1446
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: in the running to do something like this. And I

1447
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:36,719
Speaker 1: think that's just because even though the basketball has not changed,

1448
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: the amount of Lebron James that we've had to sustain

1449
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 1: over the last half decade, particularly, I think is where

1450
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: it's really become more polarized. It has nothing to do

1451
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 1: with what he does on the floor. Like on the floor,

1452
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: he's still just incredible to watch, just one of the

1453
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: greatest athletes we'll ever see. And that's why I think

1454
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: that you'd still get a lot of agileition even if

1455
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of things that you could

1456
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: also criticize about things Lebron James has felt the need

1457
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 1: to say and do, and mistakes that maybe he's made

1458
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But like that, I I

1459
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: think that like universality of it, No, I don't think

1460
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a universal love fest. I do think

1461
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: that it's a little bit it would be a bit

1462
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: more mixed, just because I think Lebron has turned off

1463
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people in a way that a lot

1464
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: of athletes at his level have not. Now a lot

1465
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: of them have because just by the nature of them

1466
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: being that good, they generate hate. And I get that,

1467
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: no question about it. But it's I think it's just

1468
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: the outspokenness and sometimes just sort of disingenuousness with which

1469
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: Lebron has sometimes talked that would would make this more

1470
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: interesting and less of like a one hundred percent bow

1471
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: down fest. Ben Lebron thinks, And.

1472
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 3: That's that's my thought as well.

1473
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: Is I just think because of how out there he is,

1474
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 2: you know, we could just say it he's political. He

1475
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 2: shares opinions on stuff that's not basketball, and I get

1476
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: it more than an athlete.

1477
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 3: He's allowed to. I'm not saying he isn't.

1478
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I think, you know, if this was

1479
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and he was coming off the championship, but

1480
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, he's older, he hasn't won. He's

1481
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 2: still throwing teammates under the bus, he's still throwing his

1482
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 2: coaches under the bus, his front office of the bus.

1483
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 2: He's still doing the same stuff that he was doing

1484
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 2: at thirty one thirty two, but not with nearly as

1485
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 2: much success on the court. And I just think it

1486
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 2: would be interesting and it's something to think about if

1487
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 2: and when we do get that retirement, and I do

1488
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 2: expect there probably is a tour because I think he's

1489
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 2: probably gonna play at least a couple more years and

1490
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 2: call it quits. Fox Sports Radio Era Toors Jason Martin

Speaker 7: decade since she made the leap to from the miners

1535
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 7: to a spring training contest, or since somebody did that,

1536
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 7: she's added to the list. She has been a what

1537
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 7: seventh woman now to umpire minor league baseball, and now

1538
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 7: for the next few weeks she's going to be based

1539
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 7: in Florida and works more spring training games. No woman

1540
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 7: has ever been assigned to umpire a regular season game

1541
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 7: in the major leagues. As for the college hoops, this

1542
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 7: great item from the SEC Network on Kentucky. I don't

1543
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 7: know if you saw any of the game, a Top

1544
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 7: twenty battle, but Kentucky absolutely destroyed Alabama one seventeen to

1545
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 7: ninety five. And this is a Bama team that was

1546
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 7: alone in first in the SEC eleven and two in

1547
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 7: conference play. Kentucky shot sixty three percent from the floor,

1548
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 7: Justin Edwards ten of ten shooting on field goals twenty

1549
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 7: eight points. Kentucky in its long basketball history, has played

1550
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,719
Speaker 7: over five hundred games against ranked opponents in the AP pole.

1551
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 7: Today the one hundred and seventeen points was the most

1552
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 7: the most points they've ever put up in a game

1553
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:19,839
Speaker 7: against a ranked opponent today. Wow, they just destroyed Bama.

1554
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 7: As for North Carolina kind of at the end of

1555
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 7: the other end of the spectrum in the game who

1556
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 7: they played though, it was Virginia was the opponent fifty

1557
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 7: four to forty four, the final for the tar Heels.

1558
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 5: R J.

1559
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 7: Davis averages twenty one points a game for the tar Heels.

1560
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 7: He was one of fourteen shooting from the floor. And

1561
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 7: it didn't matter because Virginia scored just six points in

1562
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 7: about the first fourteen minutes of this game.

1563
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: They were down off last week. Still, every free throw

1564
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: except the last one they took, Yes, that's right, possible it.

1565
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 7: Yes, eleven. It wasn't like they weren't getting to the

1566
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,799
Speaker 7: line either. But Virginia did have a record of twenty

1567
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 7: and seven coming in today. San Diego State, ranked in

1568
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,759
Speaker 7: the top twenty, led tonight's game at Fresno State twenty

1569
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 7: six to four and later forty to ten final Aztec

1570
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 7: seventy three to forty one. A reminder, we are only

1571
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 7: three weeks away from selection Sunday for March Madness. It

1572
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 7: is Sunday, March seventeenth. It'll happen in a couple days

1573
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,879
Speaker 7: after that Dayton, Ohio will host the first four games.

1574
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 7: The cities that are hosting the first week of the

1575
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 7: NCAAA tournament include in the East Brooklyn and Charlotte. Pittsburgh

1576
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 7: as well. Also hosting that first week of NCAA Men's

1577
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 7: tournament play Memphis, Indianapolis, and Omaha and out West Spokane

1578
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 7: and Salt Lake City will be hosting first and second

1579
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 7: round games. By the way, the Lakers Arena that we

1580
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 7: referenced in downtown LA will host the West Regional Final

1581
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 7: this year.

1582
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 3: I will not be there.

1583
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 7: I would love to be there.

1584
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 3: I have been a couple of times tona time a

1585
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 3: few years ago.

1586
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 7: What was that, well, I was working I was doing

1587
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 7: stats for yeah, exactly, No, they.

1588
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 3: Were making the call to the book.

1589
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 7: It was enjoyable, except that was in Anaheim, not in

1590
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 7: Los Angeles, and they were having massive problems with let's

1591
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 7: say Wi Fi connectivity a week longer, to which the

1592
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 7: response is, Anaheim should never be hosting this ever again,

1593
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 7: because part of actually hosting is things working. It's kind

1594
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 7: of like what you were talking about hotel space. It's

1595
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 7: part of the week is you've got to have space.

1596
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 2: The saga. Thank you very much. We appreciate the extended update.

1605
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 2: The Bernie Fratto Show will follow us. So last week

1606
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:10,560
Speaker 2: I was out, Arnie Spaniard filled in for me alongside

1607
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 2: j mart and jaymart I missed all of those All

1608
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 2: Stars Saturday festivities baby. It sounds like Arnie was into

1609
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 2: the dunk contest, but by all accounts outside of Steph

1610
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 2: versus Sabrina, I think that was probably the highlight of Saturday.

1611
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 3: And then we got to Sunday.

1612
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 2: We're after Yeah, Well, after a year of Adam Silver

1613
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 2: telling us guys, things are gonna be different, and by

1614
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 2: the way, you sent me a great article and I'm

1615
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 2: not surprised. I didn't know this, but I'm not surprised.

1616
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 2: But apparently, as the NBA really tries to close its

1617
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 2: media rights deal, there were a lot of important sponsors

1618
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 2: and executives and TV people that were in the building

1619
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 2: last Sunday in Indianapolis. And let's just say that after

1620
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 2: a year of Adam Silver telling us the All Star

1621
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 2: Game was gonna be different this year.

1622
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,440
Speaker 3: It wasn't at all. It was terrible. It was an abomination.

1623
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,600
Speaker 2: People acted as if they were surprised, even though this

1624
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 2: is the way this thing has basically been for the

1625
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:15,879
Speaker 2: last five, six, seven, eight years, however long it's been. Jason,

1626
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 2: There's a lot of angles to take, but let's start

1627
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 2: with another disastrous All Star weekend for this league. Bad product,

1628
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 2: Players don't want to be there. You privately heard that

1629
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 2: players now want to be paid to be there. Anthony

1630
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 2: Edwards is saying, it's an All Star game, what did

1631
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 2: you expect? It was just you know, listen it was.

1632
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,799
Speaker 2: I think it was just a worst case scenario from

1633
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,799
Speaker 2: every angle. I don't think there really is a single

1634
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 2: positive really to take out of that last weekend.

1635
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't either. And all you need to know

1636
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: is the stories coming out after about how upset Adam

1637
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: Silver was and if you saw the trophy presentation even

1638
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 1: after the game, because you know, I hosted with Brian

1639
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: no on Monday morning two Pros and a Cup of Joe,

1640
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 1: and I told b I sent him a text on

1641
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Sunday night. I was like, well, first quarter is over

1642
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: and somebody's probably gonna hit two hundred, but I'm done,

1643
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 1: Like I'm tuning out. If there's something that big that

1644
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: happens after this point, I'll see the highlights. I'll double check.

1645
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: So I'm certainly up on it to talk about it

1646
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:21,759
Speaker 1: in the morning, but I pretty much I'm all set.

1647
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: I know what this is. I've seen this before. We've

1648
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: all seen this before. And turns out, yep, didn't this

1649
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: much except Karl Anthony town's going for thirty one in

1650
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: the final quarter, just to go for fifty for his

1651
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: team to lose by twenty with a team that scored

1652
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: well over two hundred points. Like it. But Adam Silver

1653
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: went during the presentation, given the MVP and awarding the

1654
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: East to win. He's just like, congratulations to the East.

1655
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: You guys scored more points. I guess Yep, that was

1656
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,919
Speaker 1: not a parody. He was furious. Yep, he was furious.

1657
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: People inside the league were furious. And I just I

1658
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: don't I don't have any more direct and I don't

1659
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: have a kinder way to say this to Adam Silver,

1660
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: but to say it this way, you reap what you sow. Brother.

1661
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:19,560
Speaker 1: I know you tried right. You went back to East West.

1662
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: You told people behind the scenes, you told the guys,

1663
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: You're like, we need you to dial in this year.

1664
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,759
Speaker 1: But nobody, nobody is threatened by you. No one sees

1665
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:35,200
Speaker 1: you as an authority figure. They see you as a

1666
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: guy that wants to be cool around the athletes. That's

1667
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 1: that's how it feels. I understand, really likable commissioner. I

1668
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 1: see that all over the place. It's just you know,

1669
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: he does all the right things. He does all the

1670
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: media appearances and all this, I just don't care if

1671
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: your league is running rough shot over you day after day,

1672
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: night after night. These guys can do whatever they want

1673
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: because there's nobody there to check them. There's not even

1674
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 1: if they do things that should probably get them, you know,

1675
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: a season long suspension. You know, go down to Florida

1676
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. We'll put you back on

1677
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: the floor in a week. Like every opportunity that you

1678
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: have had to be the adult in the room, the

1679
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 1: way like a Roger Goodell has been. Yes, you can

1680
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 1: hate on them all you want, but Roger Goodell came

1681
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 1: out to teams and basically said, at the end of

1682
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: the year, if you're out of it and you just

1683
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: decide you're not gonna play any of your guys and

1684
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: all this, we're gonna find you. Like we understand that

1685
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 1: there's a product here, there's an expectation from that product

1686
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 1: because we have a lot of people paying a lot

1687
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: of money or paying their paying in their time to

1688
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: watch you, and there there's nothing without them. And Adam Silver,

1689
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: he's just cowtowed so many times that why would him

1690
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: begging for you to try isn't gonna make you try,

1691
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 1: because there's nothing to back that up. Okay, okay, man, yep,

1692
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna give it. We're gonna give it all. And

1693
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: then you go out there and it's the All Star Game.

1694
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 1: And then Anthony Edwards, he's not even a guy that

1695
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: has very much equity in the league. His name is

1696
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: just really becoming relevant over the last couple of years,

1697
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 1: and he's a superstar level player. But it's not like

1698
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: it's Lebron James saying this or something like that. It's

1699
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: just he came out. He's just like, I don't see

1700
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: it changing. Man, It's an All Star Game. It's just

1701
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: imagine that being said by an NFL player, and just

1702
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: there's there's When I heard it was just like, well, man,

1703
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 1: there's not anything that he's not wrong. He's not wrong

1704
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: at all. Who is it that is going to actually

1705
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: enforce the All Star Game mattering? It certainly is not

1706
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 1: going to be Adam Silver.

1707
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 3: There's so many angles, so much to discuss.

1708
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:44,759
Speaker 2: But I think the baseline that the baseline talking point

1709
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 2: is exactly what you just said. Is that, and I

1710
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 2: think this has been a misinterpretation from the beginning on

1711
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 2: Adam Silver is like, first of all, it's just, you know,

1712
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 2: I've always said this about him. He's great at being

1713
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 2: very vocal about things that nobody cares about. Cool, you

1714
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 2: painted social justice slogans on the court. Cool, you know

1715
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 2: he's now. I don't know if you saw this one.

1716
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 2: They're expanding the NBA Draft from one day to two days.

1717
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 2: That's literally something that's happening. It's like, cool, all the

1718
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: issues that matter are trending in the wrong direction. Regular

1719
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 2: season ratings are down, postseason ratings are down. Last year,

1720
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 2: you had the lowest rated All Star Game ever, So

1721
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 2: maybe I guess it's a positive that it was up

1722
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 2: a little bit this year.

1723
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 1: So we're not even watching the NBA Draft, Adam, Like,

1724
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't I understand why the NFL tried to turn

1725
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 1: it into a weekend because people will actually pay attention.

1726
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: We already made a joke not even knowing that we

1727
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: were gonna go here talking about the NBA Draft about

1728
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: how useless the second round NFL NBA draft picks are,

1729
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: So why are you moving it? Like no one watches

1730
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: past the first fifteen picks of the NBA Draft anymore.

1731
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's gonna be bad this year. But

1732
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 2: that's we'll get to the draft in June. But this

1733
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 2: is the point, is that like one, he solves problems

1734
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 2: that don't need solving. But two, I think what you

1735
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: said about Goodell is And by the way, I've never

1736
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 2: understood like the anti Goodell rhetoric because all that guy

1737
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 2: does is make money for his owners. Now you could say, well,

1738
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 2: Adam Silver, I mean the media rights are up, blah

1739
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. It's like media rights are up everywhere.

1740
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 2: If you're a live sport, you are going to make

1741
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 2: more money. But ratings aren't up. And here's the thing, Like,

1742
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: and you know, anytime that anyone says anything about ratings, oh,

1743
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, the NBA is an international game, you got

1744
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: a factor in streaming whatever. I can't speak to all

1745
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 2: of that, and I'm not a ratings expert. What I

1746
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 2: do know No. What I do know, though, Jason, is this.

1747
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 2: We just had the most watched Super Bowl of all time. Okay,

1748
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,759
Speaker 2: you can say that's Taylor Swift whatever. Okay, college football

1749
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 2: ratings are through the roof. We just had the most

1750
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 2: watched first weekend of the NCAA tournament on the men's

1751
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 2: side ever. We just had the most watched Women's final fever,

1752
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,560
Speaker 2: I believe, and I didn't look it up and I

1753
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 2: didn't do my homework. I think we just had the

1754
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 2: most watched college Baseball World Series of so literally, Oh,

1755
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 2: by the way, the Stadium Series last week it was

1756
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 2: I believe the Devil.

1757
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: It was the Eeloders and Rangers and the Flyers.

1758
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 2: Yes, most watched hockey games of the last like fifteen years.

1759
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,719
Speaker 2: So it's like every single sport is up except for years,

1760
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 2: and this guy has been defended breathlessly for years, and

1761
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: I think people are finally kind of smartening up.

1762
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 3: Like listen, I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but like,

1763
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 3: by the way.

1764
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 2: You're like, the commissioner is not supposed to be liked

1765
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 2: by the players because he has to be the guy

1766
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 2: that makes the hard decisions. He works for he or

1767
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 2: she works for the owners. It's not a job where

1768
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 2: you are supposed to be in the players quarter. They

1769
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 2: have a union for that. So it's just like, I've

1770
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 2: never liked the guy. I've always thought he was a phony.

1771
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 2: And what you said, he's reaping what he sews because

1772
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 2: now the toothpaste is out of the tube and he's

1773
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 2: trying to get it back in really quick, and I'll

1774
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 2: toss it back to you.

1775
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 3: I know you mentioned working with Brian no earlier this week.

1776
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 2: I was working with Rich Warrenberger yesterday and Rich and

1777
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 2: Isaac Lohankron were like, well, well, how does this get fixed?

1778
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,719
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't think it does get fixed,

1779
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 2: because you, like, you're not taking away the game, you know,

1780
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:13,840
Speaker 2: Rich suggested like, and I want to speak for Rich,

1781
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 2: but he's like, well, maybe you do like a one

1782
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 2: on one competition. It's like you think these guys, these

1783
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 2: guys won't even play, They're not even gonna try it.

1784
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Their their pride will never let that because just the

1785
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: possibility of them losing is enough for their brand to

1786
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: take a hit that they won't allow.

1787
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 3: And so I don't know what you do.

1788
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,840
Speaker 2: But and by the way, it's not just the All

1789
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 2: Star Game, it's everything surrounding this league that's headed in

1790
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 2: the wrong direction. But it but it all starts with

1791
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 2: one person, one event whatever. I've gone long enough, just

1792
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 2: just take it away, Jason.

1793
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it definitely it starts at the top

1794
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 1: because there's a difference between being liked and respected, yes,

1795
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 1: and it's a tough balance to walk to find your

1796
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:59,599
Speaker 1: way into both because to be a supervisor and also

1797
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 1: to be liked. Really, the only thing that you can

1798
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: do is just be really, really fair and have your

1799
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 1: ears open to listen to what's being said from the

1800
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:14,680
Speaker 1: other side. But ultimately, anybody that works for someone understands

1801
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: that their bottom line is different than yours. Yes, you're

1802
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,680
Speaker 1: working for that person. That person's responsibility is to make

1803
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 1: as much money as you said, for the owners, but

1804
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: also just for the league, to grow the league and

1805
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,599
Speaker 1: to put it in the best position possible, which should

1806
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 1: translate to you as well. And there can be balance

1807
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: issues where it's going too much to the owners at

1808
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 1: the expense of the players, and that's not good either.

1809
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 1: But I just get don't you just get this feeling

1810
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 1: that these guys are like, yeah, gotta go meet with

1811
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: Adam Silver today, A man, I love that dude. Man,

1812
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a sandwich and like hang out or

1813
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 1: whatever and then walk away and make a phone call

1814
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: be like yeah, no, we're just gonna keep on doing

1815
01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: what we've been doing. Like there's no you don't have

1816
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 1: to be mean, but you have to be willing to

1817
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 1: stand up and be called a jerk. Sometimes in a

1818
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: role like that. When Noah and I were hosting on Monday,

1819
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: he said, and I kind of let him straight to this,

1820
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 1: if David Stern's your commissioner, this kind of stuff's not

1821
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 1: being tolerated. Like David Stern, he was a controversial figure.

1822
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell is a controversial figure. I certainly don't agree

1823
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:33,719
Speaker 1: with everything that Roger Goodell has done, but I do

1824
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:38,840
Speaker 1: think I do think that NFL players know that there

1825
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 1: is a line that they better not cross, because once

1826
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:45,439
Speaker 1: they step into a line where the optics are starting

1827
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 1: to harm the league, that's a problem. If you start

1828
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: to harm the league's bottom line, harm the opinion of

1829
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,599
Speaker 1: the league, harm the integrity of the league. Calvin Ridley,

1830
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, all of that kind of thing that's going

1831
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 1: to end up being right on your doorstep. And in

1832
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 1: the NBA, it's not like that. In the NBA, my

1833
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 1: shoulders out, I'm out tonight, or whatever it is. And

1834
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 1: the perception has become the reality. And then when you

1835
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,880
Speaker 1: watch something like that All Star Game, it is impossible

1836
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: to take seriously anyone who defended prior to that All

1837
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 1: Star Game that those that are being critical or just

1838
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: being uber critical, and these guys love this game and

1839
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:32,639
Speaker 1: they love their fans. I just anybody that any fan

1840
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 1: out there that thinks that the NBA players don't care

1841
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: about them, how could you argue against it, even if

1842
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,479
Speaker 1: it's not true, even if it's a blanket statement. A

1843
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of these guys do care. The optics and the

1844
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 1: way this product is presented on a regular basis, and

1845
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 1: the dial in dial out mentality of it, it just

1846
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: makes it such a difficult proposition for an average sports

1847
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:02,719
Speaker 1: fan to want to invest time and money into that league.

1848
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:04,639
Speaker 3: And it goes It's what I say all the time.

1849
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:05,720
Speaker 3: It's exactly what I say.

1850
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:09,479
Speaker 2: Is that you know, for me as a consumer, there

1851
01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 2: are plenty of times where I want to tune into

1852
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 2: a Thursday night or Saturday or Sunday and it's just

1853
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:17,960
Speaker 2: you just you never know who's gonna play and when,

1854
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 2: and it's just it's just a slippery slope because you

1855
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 2: look at everything going on and it keeps trending in

1856
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 2: the wrong direction, and to our points, I don't know

1857
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,639
Speaker 2: how it gets better. Fox Sports Radio er toords Jason Martin,

01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 2: But I saw another story that boy blew my mind.

1861
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 2: I don't get it, and it speaks to Adam Silver

1862
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:49,920

1874
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 2: the break. There is another story that came out of

1875
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Weekend, And what I would say is

1876
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 2: that there are you know, there are situations where I

1877
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,479
Speaker 2: can like what Adam Silver does, not like what Adam

1878
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:50,680
Speaker 2: Silver does, not like what.

1879
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 3: The NBA does, whatever.

1880
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 2: There are also very few times where I see something

1881
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:03,520
Speaker 2: and whether I like it or not, I just don't understand.

1882
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:06,760
Speaker 2: And I had one of those situations earlier this week,

1883
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 2: So there was a story that came out. I'm trying

1884
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 2: to pull up right now, but the NBA shortly after

1885
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,759
Speaker 2: hosting the All Star Game in one of its smaller

1886
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 2: markets in Indianapolis, they put out new rules on what

1887
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 2: cities are allowed to host the All Star Game and

1888
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 2: requirements that are expected of All Star Game cities. Those

1889
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,720
Speaker 2: requirements include seventy two hundred and fifty hotel rooms in

1890
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,800
Speaker 2: a minimum of three to five star hotels, convention center

1891
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 2: of six six hundred and fifty thousand square feet of

1892
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 2: exhibition space, seventy five NonStop domestic flights, and at least

1893
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:48,599
Speaker 2: twenty international flights. Well, I don't have a full list

1894
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 2: of every single city that now does not qualify to

1895
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 2: get All Star Games, but I know there's a few.

1896
01:36:56,920 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City would be one, Minnesota, Minneapolis in Minnesota would

1897
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 2: be one.

1898
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 3: Milwaukee would be one as well.

1899
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 2: And I understand, like if we were talking about super

1900
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:12,879
Speaker 2: super small cities that don't have like that, that literally

1901
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 2: don't have the hotel space or whatever, that's one thing.

1902
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 2: But I find it very strange that the NBA would

1903
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 2: make this decision for two reasons. One, it's already a

1904
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 2: League where there is a disparity between the haves and

1905
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 2: the have nots. But I also just feel like all

1906
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 2: you're doing is pissing off the owners of those small

1907
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: markets in Milwaukee, in Minnesota, in Oklahoma City. I just

1908
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 2: find this very weird, Jason. I'm not even gonna crush

1909
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 2: out himilver. I just I don't really understand it, and

1910
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,720
Speaker 2: I think all you're doing is pissing off probably five

1911
01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:48,759
Speaker 2: to ten of your owners by making this decision.

1912
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this this is a thing in a lot

1913
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: of large events, Like I remember when there was talk about,

1914
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, why has it Nashville got a Super Bowl?

1915
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look what the the NFL draft. He drafted here.

1916
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: And I found out pretty quickly there after when some

1917
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: of the discussions were being had one of the reasons

1918
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 1: there's a new stadium coming to Nashville is to get

1919
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and to get a wrestlemanian, to get

1920
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 1: a college football championship, or like any big event you

1921
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 1: have to have there are certain qualifications and a lot

1922
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: of it does sometimes come around you need thirty thousand

1923
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 1: hotel rooms, or you need this amenity or this. It

1924
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 1: almost is like a concert writer for like Katy Perry

1925
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,680
Speaker 1: all the stuff she needs in her dressing room and

1926
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. I mentioned her just because

1927
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 1: I remember it was a story a few years ago.

1928
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: The problem I think for the NBA is that the

1929
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 1: All Star Game ain't the super Bowl exactly. The NBA

1930
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 1: All Star experience ain't some championship level thing. And I'm

1931
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:52,560
Speaker 1: saying a and I understand, but it's it comes across

1932
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: like you talk about the haves and have not. If

1933
01:38:55,920 --> 01:39:00,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to be really really cynical, I could say

1934
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 1: this is a way to exclude cities NBA stars don't

1935
01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 1: want to party in and just leave it at that

1936
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 1: and say that's that's why the rule is there, is

1937
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:15,639
Speaker 1: to encourage more guys to want to be there. Because

1938
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 1: it's in Miami. We could party in Miami. We can

1939
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:20,759
Speaker 1: go to whatever it is six Pine two or whatever

1940
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: that place is called. If we go to New York,

1941
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: if we go to LA if we go to these

1942
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 1: big cities and these big media markets, then that's, you know,

1943
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: that's going to encourage these guys. Maybe they're gonna want

1944
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: to be there more or whatever like that. That's me

1945
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: being cynical. I don't know that that's the case, but I

1946
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 1: don't think that the NBA. I feel like it should

1947
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 1: move around from NBA city to NBA city to NBA city.

1948
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: Give every fan base that has a team, that supports

1949
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 1: a team, the opportunity to watch the best in the world,

1950
01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: even if it's an exhibition and basically a globetrotter's game

1951
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: at this point, give them the opportunity to have that

1952
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 1: moment in their city. I mean, think about how Orland

1953
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: or how Oklahoma City, for example, would embrace an All

1954
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: Star game and an All Star situation and would roll

1955
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 1: out the red carpet for the NBA. That's a thing

1956
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 1: that I think you want to do because you want

1957
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 1: your league to be with its people. You want your

1958
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 1: league to be available and feel like it's there for

1959
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 1: all fifty states, that it's there for all the NBA

1960
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: cities at least in this case, and move around even

1961
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 1: if it's not the glitziest city this year, at least

1962
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: it's an NBA market, and you're also encouraging more NBA

1963
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: interest inside that market if it's a smaller city and

1964
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,840
Speaker 1: maybe it's not one of the most popular of the

1965
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:42,640
Speaker 1: smaller cities or whatever like that. When it comes to attendance,

1966
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 1: then encourage it by bringing everybody there and really show

1967
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 1: them that you want them, don't just demand that they

1968
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:51,560
Speaker 1: have to want you. And I think that's one of

1969
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 1: the biggest things is it feels like the NBA. The

1970
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: way the league comes across a lot of the times

1971
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 1: is you need us, we don't need you, and unfortunate

1972
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,240
Speaker 1: that's not really the way it is. It's actually the opposite.

1973
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: Like if the NBA disappeared, it would stink for me

1974
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 1: because I like watching the NBA, but we would continue

1975
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 1: in our lives. We would have other things that we

1976
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 1: could do. The league exists because of its fans, because

1977
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 1: of these cities that have invested a lot to bring

1978
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: a franchise there, to put the infrastructure together. To then say, yeah,

1979
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 1: well you don't have enough hotel rooms and you don't

1980
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: have enough cherries in the lobby for me to be there.

1981
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: That's a bad look for an NBA that needs a

1982
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: good look.

1983
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:36,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly it is that I basically agree with

1984
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 2: everything you said. Don't need to spend too much more

1985
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,799
Speaker 2: time on this, but like I just think as critical

1986
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 2: as we've been in the NBA over the last twenty

1987
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 2: five thirty minutes. I do think there is like a

1988
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 2: civic pride in having an event like this, especially by

1989
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 2: the way, in a place like Oklahoma City that doesn't

1990
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 2: have a lot of these opportunities.

1991
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 3: Milwaukee is another one. By the way, Milwaukee, I.

1992
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 2: Think they either are building or just built a brand

1993
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 2: new arena, and like you know, there's a lot of there's.

1994
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 3: A lot of benefits to it.

1995
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 2: By the way, Alex Rodriguez is a is a partial

1996
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I think he's talked

1997
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 2: publicly about bringing an All Star Game to Minnesota. So

1998
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 2: I just like, if it physically can't be done, like

1999
01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 2: if they're just I understand there has to be baseline minimums.

2000
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 2: And I've actually heard Colin Cowherd, who spent some time

2001
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 2: in Portland, say like, this is why Portland has never

2002
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 2: hosted an All Star Game. There's just not enough hotel rooms.

2003
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:34,679
Speaker 2: It's just a it's just a math equation, to be honest.

2004
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 2: But if it's been done in Salt Lake City, if

2005
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 2: it's been done in Indianapolis, which it has been in

2006
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I tend to think that

2007
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 2: you can probably find a way in virtually all of

2008
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 2: these cities and then oh, by the way, like you know,

2009
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: if in Oklahoma City wants it, they don't have the ability,

2010
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 2: then you just you say that and it's not a knock,

2011
01:42:54,320 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 2: it's whatever. But I think all you do is again,

2012
01:42:56,960 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 2: you ostracize more people when you simply don't need to.

2013
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Era Tours Jason Martin broadcasting live from

2014
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 2: the Tireck dot Com Studios. Jason, there was one more

2015
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 2: thing from All Star Weekend that I think is at

2016
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:13,759
Speaker 2: least worth quickly discussing. We're gonna get to that next

2017
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 2: before we do, though, de Sega. By the way, earlier

2018
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 2: Lorena said you were glowing in the in the booth

2019
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 2: over there. I don't know if you saw a funny

2020
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:25,400
Speaker 2: you just we were full of life and all that.

2021
01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 2: So I just wanted I just want you to know

2022
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 2: you're on your a game today. That's all I gotta say. No,

2023
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:32,160
Speaker 2: thank you very much, you men. You mentioned arenas the Clippers.

2024
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 2: Of course, we'll have a new arena starting next season

2025
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,560
Speaker 2: that is opening across the street from the Rams Stadium.

2026
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 3: Me and Manzi had this debate on air.

2027
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:44,240
Speaker 2: I get the idea of wanting your own place, but

2028
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:46,639
Speaker 2: as somebody who just went to Sofi Stadium a few

2029
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 2: weeks ago. You go there regularly, I think it's gonna

2030
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 2: be tough to get people there on like Tuesday and

2031
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 2: like the.

2032
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 7: I thought the same thing when they built the Lakers

2033
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 7: Arena downtown in LA I said, you're gonna have to

2034
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 7: drive to downtown for a seven clock, seven thirty game.

2035
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,719
Speaker 7: It has been done. I agree. I've thought the same

2036
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 7: thing now for Inglewood, saying, really, you're gonna have both

2037
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:09,799
Speaker 7: of those across the street and the Forum still exists

2038
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 7: at the other end of the.

2039
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 3: Block for concerts.

2040
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:15,920
Speaker 7: By the way, but the Clippers have been a renter,

2041
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 7: not a col owner downtown LA. So when you've got

2042
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,120
Speaker 7: a guy that can pay cash for his team in

2043
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 7: the first place, he's building his own arena.

2044
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:27,600
Speaker 2: I get why the decision was made. I just wonder.

2045
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm not being facetious. I mean,

2046
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 2: there's a chance they're coming off literally an NBA title

2047
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:34,559
Speaker 2: with the way they're playing. I'll believe that when I

2048
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 2: see it. But I mean that that changes the math

2049
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:40,400
Speaker 2: equation on that as well. But I just think it's tough.

2050
01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 2: So but anyway to take it.

2051
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 7: And they did announce that it's a couple of years

2052
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 7: in the future that new Clippers Arena will be hosting

2053
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 7: an NBA All Stick Game, just not Milwaukee.

2054
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: In Milwaukee.

2055
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 7: As soon as you mentioned hotel rooms on this thing,

2056
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 7: it reminded me of one city, Jacksonville, Florida, because they

2057
01:44:56,200 --> 01:44:58,559
Speaker 7: haven't been able to get the college football final and

2058
01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 7: they did have a Super Bowl twenty years ago, and

2059
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 7: I remember the story was in order to shoehorn enough

2060
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 7: hotel rooms in Jacksonville, Florida for Super Bowl week, the

2061
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 7: city wound up getting cruise ships to park there and

2062
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 7: they just use those as the extra hotel room so

2063
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 7: they could have enough space. By the way, as you

2064
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 7: guys did mention Caitlin Clark of Iowa last weekend, certainly

2065
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 7: on the show. It was just yesterday the Big Ten

2066
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 7: announced that their women's basketball tournament, still a couple weeks away,

2067
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:29,400
Speaker 7: has sold out in advance for.

2068
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 3: The first tapolists.

2069
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:33,600
Speaker 8: There's enough hotel rooms for Caitlin Clarks, but apparently not

2070
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:34,719
Speaker 8: the All Star weekend.

2071
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:36,440
Speaker 3: Adam Silver, explain yourself.

2072
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:38,640
Speaker 7: They're going to be at an NBA arena in Minnesota

2073
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 7: for that now, I assume the upper level nosebleed seats

2074
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 7: are going to be blacked out, blocked off, but they

2075
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 7: are expecting in the five days attendance of over one

2076
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 7: hundred thousand for that. So I looked up on stub Hub.

2077
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 7: If you want a ticket now on the secondary market

2078
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 7: for the Big Ten Women's basketball final, it's about two

2079
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty dollars or more. Compare that to stub

2080
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 7: Hub for Lakers versus Clippers next weekend is about one

2081
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty dollars.

2082
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 3: Poor Adam Silver's just take it here.

2083
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 1: That's not even astray. That's a direct shot right there.

2084
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 7: Well, we've mentioned and get often gets mentioned on the

2085
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,080
Speaker 7: Colin promo, which is still running. How the Caitlin Clark

2086
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 7: IOWA game outrated a Celtics NBA game head to head

2087
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:25,720
Speaker 7: on a same cable night a few weeks ago.

2088
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 2: I love come, but I think that was the South

2089
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 2: Carolina LSU game that we talked about.

2090
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 7: Oh, the women's basketball Top ten Yeah no, not an

2091
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 7: Iowa game.

2092
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2093
01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 2: Well, well, because he references heat Celtics and that was

2094
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 2: I believe the game that actually got outrated by South

2095
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 2: Carolina LSU.

2096
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 7: And by the way, I think it's Big Ten network

2097
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 7: that has all this women's hoops for the conference tournament,

2098
01:46:46,240 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 7: so good for them, but it's not being dished out

2099
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 7: to other cable channels despite the current popular and there's

2100
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 7: still the Peacock streaming stuff in regular season, and even

2101
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,160
Speaker 7: people who want to see some of her games recently

2102
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 7: have not been able to see them. The last notable

2103
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 7: college football men's college basketball men's final of the night

2104
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 7: is in USC wins at UCLA sixty two fifty six.

2105
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 7: The UCLA Bruins fourteen and thirteen this season, USC with

2106
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 7: a losing record, they're up to eleven and sixteen. Bronni James,

2107
01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:22,200
Speaker 7: off the bench for the Trojans, had one shot and

2108
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 7: two fouls. But yeah, he's going straight to the NBA.

2109
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 3: In the NBA, I feel bad for the kid, his dad.

2110
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 2: His dad likes to talk too much, which we're gonna

2111
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 2: ironically a good tease for the next segment.

2112
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 7: But what bothers me is the media members who two

2113
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 7: years ago were just eating that up as if it

2114
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 7: was a possibility when he wasn't the best player on

2115
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 7: his high school team.

2116
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:47,360
Speaker 3: This was not Ken Gervey senior and junior. No Lebron thank.

2134
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 7: Texas Tech and BYU And we mentioned this on the

2135
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:52,439
Speaker 7: last night's show. Since the NFL just announced that the

2136
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 7: salary cap for the coming season is set at about

2137

Speaker 7: next season. That's up from two hundred twenty five million

2139
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 7: last year. A decade ago, the cap was under one

2140
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty mil. So things are good in the

2141
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,960
Speaker 7: NFL still, even though total player costs are going to

2142
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:12,760
Speaker 7: be about three hundred thirty million dollars per team. Some

2143
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 7: may say, well, how do you turn a profit you

2144
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 7: got to spend three hundred and thirty million a year

2145
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:19,719
Speaker 7: on Well, they don't open up the books. NFL owners

2146
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 7: except the Green Bay Packers, are owned by shareholders publicly owned,

2147
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 7: so we know. The Packers, for example, still reported a

2148
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 7: profit of almost seventy million dollars just pure profit. Wow,

2149
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:37,320
Speaker 7: seventy mil. The exact math, revenues of six hundred ten

2150
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 7: mil minus the five hundred and forty mili in operating

2151
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 7: expenses equals seventy mil cash. Thank you for a big

2152
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 7: a part of the NFL. How any team loses money

2153
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 7: in that league is beyond me.

2154
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 3: Back to you, Thank you very much.

2155
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 2: Steve Sager to Sega will be back in just one

2156
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 2: moment with his extended update. Fox Sports Radio er towards

2157
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 2: Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Tirek dot Com studio. So, Jason,

2158
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 2: I just I did tease it before we got to

2159
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 2: disagre and I mentioned it. In Disager's update, he referenced

2160
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 2: kind of some of the stuff Lebron said about Bronni,

2161
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 2: and I saw something come out of All Star Weekend

2162
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 2: that I was thinking about.

2163
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 3: I just want your perspective.

2164
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:16,400
Speaker 2: I don't know that I have like a scorching hot

2165
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:19,880
Speaker 2: take on this, But among all of the many things

2166
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 2: that Lebron said throughout the week and throughout the weekend,

2167
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:25,559
Speaker 2: he did say that, oh, you know, he's not quite

2168
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 2: sure if he wants a retirement tour, and his insinuation was, well,

2169
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,840
Speaker 2: you know, I don't deal with praise very well, which

2170
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 2: was the biggest His nose grew about six inches when

2171
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:38,559
Speaker 2: he said that. But neither here nor there. But I

2172
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 2: was thinking about this retirement tours are you know, we've

2173
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 2: seen a few in our day, Derek, Jeter, Kobe, even

2174
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 2: Coach k and I think they've all been like, you know,

2175
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:53,840
Speaker 2: even when you go on the road, it's like a

2176
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:58,639
Speaker 2: ceremonial celebration. People like you, even a guy like Jeter

2177
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:03,479
Speaker 2: or Kobe that was maybe, you know, disliked during their prime.

2178
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 2: By the time they got to the end, they were liked.

2179
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 2: But I just bring it up because I was thinking

2180
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 2: about Lebron and this isn't I'm not just trying to

2181
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:12,800
Speaker 2: crush Lebron, but I really do think this is if

2182
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 2: he does a retirement tour, Like, I don't think it's

2183
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 2: just gonna be he goes to forty one road games

2184
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 2: and he just gets a standing ovation every single time

2185
01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 2: he goes, and he's beloved and everybody gives him a

2186
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,559
Speaker 2: rocking chair, Like I feel like it would be more

2187
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:30,480
Speaker 2: of a divisive.

2188
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 3: Angry maybe retirement to Like, I don't think.

2189
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,599
Speaker 2: It would go the way in his head that Lebron

2190
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:39,559
Speaker 2: seems to insinuate that he thinks it would. What do

2191
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 2: you think would actually happen if he decided to do

2192
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:42,800
Speaker 2: a retirement tour.

2193
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think for the most part, it would

2194
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 1: be a lot of adulation. It would just be kind

2195
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: of the respect for what you've seen from him on

2196
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 1: the floor for such a long time. There would be

2197
01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it would be less of a love fest

2198
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,280
Speaker 1: than a lot of others that would be in the

2199
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:06,599
Speaker 1: running to do something like this, And I think that's

2200
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:12,800
Speaker 1: just because even though the basketball has not changed, the

2201
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 1: amount of Lebron James that we've had to sustain over

2202
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 1: the last half decade, particularly, I think is where it's

2203
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 1: really become more polarized. It has nothing to do with

2204
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: what he does on the floor. Like on the floor,

2205
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: he's still just incredible to watch, just one of the

2206
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,240
Speaker 1: greatest athletes we'll ever see. And that's why I think

2207
01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 1: that you'd still get a lot of adulation even if

2208
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of things that you could

2209
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:42,320
Speaker 1: also criticize about things Lebron James has felt the need

2210
01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 1: to say and do, and mistakes that maybe he's made,

2211
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But like that, I think

2212
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 1: that like universality of it. No, I don't think it's

2213
01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a universal love fest. I do think that

2214
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 1: it's a little bit it would be a bit more mixed,

2215
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:01,840
Speaker 1: just because I think Lebron has turned off a lot

2216
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 1: of people in a way that a lot of athletes

2217
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:09,960
Speaker 1: at his level have not. Now a lot of them

2218
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 1: have because just by the nature of them being that good,

2219
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 1: they generate hate. And I get that, no question about it.

2220
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 1: But it's I think it's just the outspokenness and sometimes

2221
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 1: just sort of disingenuousness with which Lebron has sometimes talked,

2222
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 1: that would would make this more interesting and less of

2223
01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 1: like a one hundred percent bow down fest than Lebron thinks.

2224
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 3: And that's that's my thought as well.

2225
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 2: Is I just think because of how out there he is,

2226
01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, we could just say it he's political. He

2227
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 2: shares opinions on stuff that's not basketball, and I get

2228
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:51,719
Speaker 2: it more than an athlete.

2229
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 3: He's allowed to. I'm not saying he isn't.

2230
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I think, you know, if this was

2231
01:53:57,200 --> 01:53:59,600
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and he was coming off the championship, but

2232
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, he's older, he hasn't won. He's

2233
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:06,360
Speaker 2: still throwing teammates under the bus, he's still throwing his

2234
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 2: coaches under the bus, his front office of the bus.

2235
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:10,160
Speaker 2: He's still doing the same stuff that he was doing

2236
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:13,559
Speaker 2: at thirty one thirty two, but not with nearly as

2237
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:15,600
Speaker 2: much success on the court. And I just think it

2238
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,920
Speaker 2: would be interesting and it's something to think about if

2239
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:20,760
Speaker 2: and when we do get that retirement, and I do

2240
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 2: expect there probably is a tour because I think he's

2241
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 2: probably gonna play at least a couple more years and

2242
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:29,800
Speaker 2: call it quits. Fox Sports Radio eritors Jason Martin, broadcasting

2277
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:31,480

2281
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,440
Speaker 7: Powwall was third base umpire in the spring training game

2282
01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 7: between the Nationals and Houston. It's been almost a decade

2283
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:51,920
Speaker 7: since she made the leap to from the miners to

2284
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 7: a spring training contest, or since somebody did that, she's

2285
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:58,560
Speaker 7: added to the list. She has been a what seventh

2286
01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:01,160
Speaker 7: woman now to umpire minor league baseball and now for

2287
01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:03,320
Speaker 7: the next few weeks she's going to be based in

2288
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 7: Florida and works more spring training games. No woman has

2289
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:09,440
