Speaker 1: great guest, Matt Holt, the president and founder of US Integrity.

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: You've been hearing about these I'm going to see this

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: in their quotes, gambling scandals, whether it be Alabama, Iowa

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: forget you know, right down down the whole lit We're

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: gonna talk about how far we've come in since the

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: five year anniversary of the passage of Paspa, in which

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court struck down the federal law that prohibited

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: the forty nine states and the District of Columbia from

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: legalizing sports betting. But we begin with the Dance Sensation

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: sweep of the nation, and that is the Lakers and

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. And I have found the narrative surrounding this

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: series most interesting. I'm not gonna mention any names. Nick Wright,

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp, I know they've pretty much, you know, guaranteed

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers are going to win the championship. Maybe we

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: don't even need to play it. Nick said that, you know,

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: luckily there'll be two two heading back to Denver. Maybe

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: we just fast forward and just play Game five in Denver.

31
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Just stay right there, you know. John Wooden once said

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: pressure causes some people to break others to break records.

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna mention any names. Kendrick Perkins. By the way,

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: it looks like Nikola Jokicks the ones breaking all the records. Now,

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: the Lakers aren't done. I'm not gonna count them out.

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, there have been sixty two occasions in the

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: NBA Conference Finals history in the NBA where teams started

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: out owing two but they did come back to win

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: the series. So there's six and fifty six, and yes

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: twice in involved some guy named Lebron James, both in

41
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: Cleveland and twenty oh seven and twenty eighteen. I don't

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. I think you have a better

43
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: chance of Led Zeppelin re recording the Gilligan's Island theme

44
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: song and selling the man copies. But we'll see. I'll

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: come on the air and take my medicine. But listen,

46
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I told you so. I don't hate to say I

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: told you so. I love to say I told you so.

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: Most of us actually really kind of do you know?

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: The Lakers are gassed. And I've never questioned that their

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: championship in the Bubble was legit, but I did question

51
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: whether or not if they hadn't had four months off

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: and they hadn't didn't have to travel, or they would

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: have had to travel, would they have done that? Well,

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: you're getting that referendum now, Okay, if you can't see

55
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers were gassed at Ad and Lebron, who both

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: played thirty eight to forty minutes. And I'm not gonna

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: bash you didn't want to Windmill Dunks, miss Layups, poor

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: a d He needs to call a cap he's trying.

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bash him. This isn't Memphis. This isn't

60
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Memphis where they're missing Steven Adams and Brandon Clark. And

61
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: this isn't Golden State with that dysfunctional mess that the

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole Draymond Green situation. Never they never really got

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: over that. And we were like six to eighty five

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: on the road this year. Different situation Denver, and this

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: isn't a bubble. And I will tell you again, no

66
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: four months off and they do have to travel. And

67
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: so when Denver beat the Lakers won await one oh

68
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: three in Game two of the Western Conference Finals. By

69
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the way, Lakers have now lost four straight road games

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, six to seven games. Here's what you

71
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: need to know. As you heard Jason Smith and Catch

72
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike week Night seven to eleven PM. They

73
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: do a great job. The show is an absolute riot.

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: If you are into pop culture references, the show is

75
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: for you, among other things. But Jamal Murray, as Jason

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: pointed out, he led the Nuggets thirty seven points twenty

77
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: three in the fourth quarter. When the situation demands greatness,

78
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: can you be great? By the way, how was lebron

79
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: shooting threes in the fourth quarter? Just just put the

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: two side by side. Let the facts speak for themselves. Okay,

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: he was eleven of twenty four shooting six threes. Lebron's

82
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: made one three in the fourth quarter in these playoffs.

83
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: And by the way, Nicole Yoka, it looked like he

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: had kind of a quiet night, because that's how great

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: he is. Here's how quiet it was. Twenty three points,

86
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: seventeen rebounds, twelve Is this triple double? Another triple double?

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: Thirteenth of the playoffs. Now, I don't blame Mike Malone.

88
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Michael Malone, I don't give a damn what you call him.

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Don't blame him for being upset. Game one, all the Lakers, hey,

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: well they almost came back, but they got to figure

91
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: it out. Now, so the Nuggets are in trouble. We

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: got the right way we want him. In fact, it

93
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: was a good loss. Now, there's no such thing as

94
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: a good loss, no such thing as a good kidney Stone.

95
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Try it out, let me know how it works for you.

96
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: Game two, all the Lakers had it. They let him

97
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: slip away. But fortunately, you know, as Nick Wright said,

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: they'll just come back. To to. Luckily we'll be all

99
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: set and here we go. We'll see if he's right.

100
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he is, let's just see. Lakers went twenty three

101
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: to twenty six from the free throw line. Though, give

102
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: him credit for that game three Tomorrow night, Saturday night,

103
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: five point thirty Pacific, eight thirty Eastern in Los Angeles. Now,

104
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: I did find one. I'm not sure how many people

105
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: have talked about this. I did find one adjustment that

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: Michael Malone might Malone can you can call me Johnson,

107
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: you might call him the NBA Finals head coach. Though

108
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: he changed up the rest pattern for Nicoleock and it

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: paid off. Typically, Yokick, by the way, he's a two

110
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: time MVP, should be a three time MVP. He typically

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: rests at the start of the fourth quarter, but with

112
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: the Nuggets trailing by three seventy nine to seventy six

113
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: as the game entered the fourth quarter, Malone elected the

114
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: lead Yoki get on the floor now the presence of

115
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: him and he draws significant attention from the Lakers defense.

116
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: In my opinion, that helped kick start the all time

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter from Jamal Murray, who had again twenty three

118
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: points in the period, and then when Yokik hit the

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: bench at the nine thirty eight mark of the fourth

120
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: quarter for just a quick two minute rest. Now the

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Nuggets are down by two. Murray, well, his heater was

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: well underway, and that helped Denver prevail during what could

123
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: have been a bit of a dicey stretch without their superstar.

124
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: And when Yokik get is on the bench, Denver does suffer,

125
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: no question about it. So Denver prevailed without a field

126
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: goal from Yokick in the entire final period. That's a testament,

127
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: as Jason said, to Murray's brilliance in Denver's resolved in

128
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: Game two. Denver is a very talented team. That's how

129
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: important this was to the series. Malone squeezed his rotation

130
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: just a bit for the first time in the entire playoffs.

131
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: He actually played nine guys normally plays eight. Reggie Jackson

132
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: only played three minutes because of foul trouble because CACP

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: got two files early, and then rookie Christian Bahd you know,

134
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: played about four minutes. Jeff Green fifteen minutes. But essentially

135
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: this was a six man game, right although Bruce Brown

136
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: got like thirty seven minutes off the bench. Jokik played

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: the entire third quarter and played end of the fourth quarter.

138
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: This was he did that for the first time in

139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: this series. He said he made the decision because the

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Lakers won on a ten oh run when Yokick was

141
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: not on the floor in the second quarter. And uh, listen,

142
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: Denver admitted they were tired too. So if they admitted

143
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: they were tired, how tired is Lebron and and ad

144
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: and we talked we'll talk about this Saturday night with

145
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Martin Medina, but I mentioned this week's ago. For the

146
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Lakers to truly advance, those two guys are going to

147
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: have to average thirty eight to forty minutes and it's

148
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: going to be every other night. There is no load management,

149
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: and this is the bubble. So interestingly enough, the Lakers

150
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: also changed it's starting lineup after a couple of not

151
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: so successful games. The new group ad Vanderbilt Reeves, D'Angelo Russell.

152
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: They fared a little better, but they were still basically

153
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: outscored I think by two or three minutes. You know,

154
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: all these advanced stats and such, but at the end

155
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: of the day, the Lakers had zero answer for Jamal

156
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Murray zero and with Hachi Mura and Dennis Roder checking

157
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: him Murray just you know, he kept shaking loose and

158
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: pick and roll situations, dribble handoff actions, his shot making.

159
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: No matter what the Vanders you threw at him, he

160
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: was special and he was a difference maker. And what

161
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: had really been an otherwise close game, I'm going to

162
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: say it again for the nineteenth time, the Lakers appeared

163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: gassed as this game went on because the cumulative effect

164
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: of a two month ramp up. The Lakers were basically

165
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: playing with a playoff like intensity for a good couple

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: of months, good eight weeks before the playing game, and

167
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: now they've managed to make a conference finals finals run.

168
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: But they've got you know what, Let's see, they've got

169
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: about twenty one more hours to figure out No, hell,

170
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: not not even that much. Five point thirty Pacific, They've

171
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: got twelve. They got about seventeen eighteen hours to figure

172
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: out a way to manage his fatigue. I feel that

173
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: Game two was a statement went for Denver. The national

174
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: needy narrative group think Echo Chamber was absolutely working overtime.

175
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: It was almost as if all the Lakers had to

176
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: do is show up and win Game two because they

177
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: got it figured out. See, they figured something out. They

178
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: came back. They came all the way back. I couldn't

179
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: quite finish Game one, but they figured it out. Man,

180
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: you're in trouble now. Meanwhile, Denver trailed the whole game.

181
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: They came back and they did close the deal in

182
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: game two. Any been talking about that? Yeah, we heard

183
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: that the Lakers found something in game one loss. But

184
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: I loved it too. With Mike Molones says, we don't

185
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: need the media attention. Denver tried to downplay how much

186
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: of a motivator it was, but come on, it played

187
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: a role, and why not? So what the guy's sticking

188
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: up for his team. Maybe it's us against the world mentality,

189
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. I don't understand why Denver

190
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: continues to get no respect. It blows me away. This

191
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: is a very good basketball team. The lost exactly four

192
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: games at home this year when Yokick was on the floor,

193
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: and they're forty one and seven or forty two and

194
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: seven otherwise. Saturday Night, my Saturday Night show, We're gonna

195
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: have Chad Andrews from Denver. He's brilliant when it comes

196
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: to breaking down this team, and he sees him night

197
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: in a night out and he'll share some things that

198
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: might cause you to reevaluate. Coming up Matt Holt, the president,

199
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: founder of US Integrity, the five year anniversary of PASPA Overturning.

200
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about what really good shape actually

201
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: the world of sports betting is in in a series

202
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: of checks and balances that actually really do exist. Stay calm, everybody, everybody,

216
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I wanted to have this gentleman

217
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: on tonight Friends for a while long time. We're at

218
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: the five year anniversary of pasta when the Supreme Court

219
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: struck down the federal operhoting, legalizing betting in the various states.

220
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Say hello to Matt Holt match, thanks for staying unplate buddy.

221
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: Hey Bernie, how are we doing good? So let's start

222
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: at thirty thousand feet and descend. It's been five years

223
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: now since the legalization. Tell the world how much better

224
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: off the world of sports betting is. The regulations, the

225
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: checks and balances, and thanks to reputable organizations like yours,

226
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: the mechanisms put in place when there appear to be improprieties.

227
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: So, I mean, let's think of where we were before

228
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: the repeal. A pass for Bernie, and you know, let's

229
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: think just in terms of how many alerts are sent

230
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: out a month. We send about fifteen to eighteen alerts

231
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: a month. About forty percent of those lead to suspensions,

232
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: bands and arrests related to sports betting activity. So that's

233
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: about ninety people a year that probably are involved globally.

234
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: Of course, it's not just in North America. Some of

235
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: those are international sports where wagering is available in North America,

236
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: but at the end of the day before the repeal

237
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: of passed. But let's just go two thousand to twenty eighteen,

238
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: maybe three four people got caught in North America. It's

239
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: the same amount of activities happening. What we've seen from

240
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three is the amount of

241
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: issues per game hasn't gone up. It's still around one

242
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: out of every nine hundred events played as some type

243
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: of integrity issue related to it. That hasn't changed since

244
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. But now with all the data available, the

245
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: information available to transparency, you know, we're able to catch people.

246
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: A lot of people look at the news recently, whether

247
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: it's you know, the NFL issues or you know college

248
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: baseball Alabama issues or some of the other collegiate issues

249
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: in the Midwest and say, maybe this is what's wrong

250
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: with regulated sports betting. And I always say, no, this

251
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: is exactly what's right with regulated sports betting. When people

252
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: do things they're not supposed to do, don't follow the rules,

253
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: don't follow the regulation, violate day laws, we are now

254
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: able to catch them because of the transparency and access

255
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: the information that we have that we never had before.

256
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: The great thing about this MATT is that it protects

257
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: the integrity for the individual betters and the sports books

258
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: as well. Interestingly enough, I get a tweet a couple

259
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: of minutes ago, and this gentleman says, if you, Bernie,

260
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: if you think the NBA is going to allow a

261
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Denver Miami final, you don't know the NBA. Okay, very cute.

262
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that just sort of as a generic statement.

263
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: When somebody observes something MATT that appears untoward, walk us

264
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: through the step by step process and by which you

265
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: are informed and you get involved in where it goes

266
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: from there and how it's how the matter is adjudicated.

267
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: So there's one of two ways really that alerts are originated.

268
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: In the first way is that our system or our

269
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: analysts identify some type of abnormality, whether it's through algorithms

270
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: that we run against betting data or against real time odds,

271
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: or it's information that came via social media or through

272
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: an anonymous source. It gets elevated to one of our analysts,

273
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: who then investigate it. But the second way is an

274
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: operator sends us reports of suspicious activity. They're the frontline

275
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: of defense, They're the folks on the ground. Especially in

276
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: jurisdictions that still have a heavy retail present, similar to Nevada,

277
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: where people are still walking into casinos placing wagers. When

278
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: they notice suspicious activity, they send it to us. In

279
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: both instances, we take the information we have available, anonymize it,

280
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: send it out to every licensed sportsbook operator North America.

281
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: There's about ninety of them licensed across all the different

282
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: state tribal jurisdictions in both the US and Canada. They

283
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: have a six hour window to respond. We take all

284
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: of the responses we get from the operators, aggregate them,

285
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: go through them, put them into a comprehensive report with

286
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: all the other supplemental information that we have, and then

287
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: redisseminate it to the appropriate investigator investigating agencies normally state

288
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: gaming Commissions, sometimes elevating further to state police or FBI.

289
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: Outstanding. Now, Matt share with the folks the procedures in

290
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: place for the various sportsbook operators in terms of their

291
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: training as well as the symposiums and and the you know,

292
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: the the players would whether it be the NFL, college

293
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: college coaches, what they're privy to with respect to the

294
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: training they undergo so they understand what the rules are

295
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: and the rules of engagement and if they step outside

296
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: the lines, what's going to happen next? I guess what

297
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, it's my long winded way of saying,

298
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: share what the folks. The level of awareness the various

299
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: sports books and the various sports teams have with respect

300
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: and not stepping over the line.

301
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: Well, I think the sports books have an immense amount

302
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: of awareness, especially those that are affiliated with casinos, because

303
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: that means they've been involved with regulated gaming for a

304
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: long time. And regulated gaming is very similar to the

305
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: financial service world. You have independent people very carefully going

306
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 3: through each and every event, whether it's the bet place,

307
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: an investment made, a trade facilitated to make sure that

308
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: those are all done appropriately. So what we tend to

309
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: find is on the sports book side, they are extremely

310
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: well trained and then they know what to look for.

311
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: On the league side, especially the professional ones, what we

312
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: are seeing is more and more education, more awareness, But

313
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: I still don't think we're probably at the level we're

314
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: inevitably going to end up. And you have to remember

315
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: that not all leagues are basically the same when it

316
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 3: comes to education, awareness programs, ensuring that everybody has the

317
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: same understanding of the rules and regulations. One of the

318
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: problems we have in North America is there's not just

319
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: thirty seven states right now with legalized sports betting, there's

320
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: also hundreds of tribal jurisdictions across the country. In fact,

321
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: if all of them were to legalize sports betting as well,

322
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 3: there's over two hundred tribal jurisdictions. They all negotiate their

323
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 3: own rules in their own tribal compacts at in Canada,

324
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico, as Mexico starts to expand as well. And

325
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: now we're talking hundreds of jurisdictions, each with their own rules, regulations, laws.

326
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 3: It's not easy for anybody to keep track of all

327
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: of that. Think of a league like the UFC, where

328
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 3: the fighters are inevitably or independent contractors. And you know,

329
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: if you're a league like the NBA or the NFL

330
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 3: or MLB, Bernie, you can actually pull in all the trainers,

331
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: all the equipment managers, all the umpires and do this

332
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: collective training because they're all employees of Major League Baseball.

333
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 3: But think of a sport like the UFC. The cornermen,

334
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: the trainers of these fighters, they're not employees of the UFC.

335
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: You know, they're employed by the fighters themselves, thus getting

336
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: education and awareness programs out to the masses, to the trainers,

337
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 3: to the equipment managers and cornerman it is actually a

338
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: real challenge, and we see it in the collegiate space

339
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: where education is a real challenge for all of these administrators, coaches, ads,

340
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: entire professional collegiate careers. They've been told to stay as

341
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: far away from sports betting as possible. That'll be the

342
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: downfall of your career. Don't touch it in any shape

343
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: or form. And then suddenly twenty eighteen have and sports

344
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: and sports betting are matched together and everybody knows they

345
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 3: will never be pulled apart again. But those folks didn't

346
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: have the advantage of years of training and understanding, and

347
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: they're playing catch up. I think every day the education

348
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 3: gets better. I think there's more and more awareness programs

349
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 3: every day, But I certainly don't think we're at a

350
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: level right now unanimously across the country where we could say, oh,

351
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: every single athlete and every single sport is certainly well

352
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: aware of the rules and laws and regulations in the

353
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: jurisdictions in which they play events.

354
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: Wrapping it up with Matt Holt, the president and founder

355
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: of US Integrity, doing Yeoman's work. Matt tell the folks

356
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: US Integrity share with them the farreach and the large

357
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: footprint you've established with the various collegiate NCAA conferences and

358
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: professional sports leagues and individual teams themselves, so they can

359
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: get an idea who you're communicating with on a daily basis.

360
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean we worked with most of the major

361
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: professional and collegiate sports leagues NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, UFCPGA, NASCAR, SEC, Paxwell,

362
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: Big twelve, WCC here in the Mountain West, locally here

363
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: in Nevada, and basically almost every single licensed sportsbook in

364
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 3: North America, as well as regulators in thirty six states

365
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: in the US, tribal regulators across the country. We're also

366
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: licensed in Ontario and Puerto Rico. So at the end

367
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: of the day, I think it's that continuity of us

368
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: being able to live in the epicenter. You know, Regulators

369
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: send in information, operators send in information. We get statistical

370
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: and event information from all the major collegiate and professional

371
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: sports leagues, and we're able to re disseminate reports in

372
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 3: real time that continuity has been one of the major

373
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: reasons we've been able to do such an efficient job

374
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: at identifying abnormalities, and they take place.

375
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: Matt, keep up the great work. And the five years

376
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: since PASSBO, only over two hundred and twenty billion dollars

377
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: has been bet legally in the United States, And I

378
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: think given the work you're doing, folks can rest assured

379
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: that the vast fast fast ninety nine point nine nine

380
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: percent of the time is on the up and up.

381
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 3: Great job, Matt, Thanks, Bernie, have a great night.

382
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: Takes there is Matt Hole, President and founder of us

00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: carry them. Just watch, but first let's go out. Kevin

390
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: figures with the latest.

391
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 4: All right, Bernie, Miami Heat, they have a commanding two

392
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: nothing lead over the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals

393
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 4: after a one eleven to one oh five win in Boston.

394
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: The Heat have won both games on the road to

395
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 4: start this Jimmy Butler twenty seven points and eight rebounds,

396
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: bam Adebayo twenty two points, seventeen rebounds and nine assists.

397
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown did score sixteen points, but was just seven

398
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 4: of twenty three shooting from the field. The series shifts

399
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 4: to Miami for Game three on Sunday. In the NHL,

400
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 4: William Carlson scored two goals, leading Las Vegas to an

401
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 4: overtime victory over Dallas in Game one of the Western

402
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: Conference Finals. Brett Holden with a game winning goal with

403
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: about ninety seconds into the extra period, giving the Nights

404
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: the four to three victory. In baseball, Raufio devasitting a

405
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: couple of home runs for Boston. They're all over Blake

406
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 4: Snell in the Padres six to one. Six earned runs

407
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 4: given up by Blake Snell, who's now one in five

408
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 4: on the season. Angels a five to four victory over Minnesota.

409
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 4: Houston defeated Oakland for their fifth Strade victory. Braves, Dodgers,

410
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: and Mets with victories as well. Second round of the

411
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: PGA Championship. Scottie Scheffler is in a three way tie

412
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 4: for first back to Bernie Freddo.

413
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: All right, thanks, Kevin, so the Heat Celtics series has

414
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: taken an interesting turn, as it were, thanks to Jimmy

415
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: Butler two points in the first two games and playoff

416
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler has been nothing short of sensational, and he's

417
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: been so impressive it's perhaps easy to overlook what a

418
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: great job Eric Spolster has done coaching the team. And

419
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: what I find mostly interesting about the storyline in this

420
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: playoff series is the roster for the Miami Heat is

421
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: full of undrafted players. Caleb Martin, Vincent Struce, Duncan Robinson.

422
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: You know Heywood Highsmith. How many of you had Haywood

423
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: Highsmith on your fantasy team? Omar Yertzevin and Youdonnis Hasm

424
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: who's now seventy one years old. Look, Spolster is getting

425
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: the most out of this team. And I'm not gonna

426
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: call out Joe Mossoula tonight, but I tell you, with

427
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: each passing game, I question his ability for game management,

428
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: substitution patterns, maximizing players come out of timeouts, situational points

429
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: during games, and look He's done a good job this year.

430
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Joe Missoula took over the team in difficult circumstances. And

431
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: this is a player driven process. The coach head coach

432
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: must connect and must be kindred spirits with his players,

433
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: specifically his team's best player is he? I have no idea.

434
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: I have four takeaways from Friday's game. Very pivotal Game two,

435
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: very hostile environment. The Miami Heat once again showed they

436
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: might not have a star studed roster, but they seem

437
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: to have this championship recipe. They know how to come

438
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: from behind, they know how to be great when greatness

439
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: matters most. And the Celtics had a pretty sizable advantage

440
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: heading into the fourth quarter from my view point, but

441
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: Miami roars back once again. They outscore Boston thirty six

442
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: to twenty two in the fourth quarter. They win Game two,

443
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: They win you know, one, eleven, one five, a very

444
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: impressive finish. And Miami just has this brand of basketball.

445
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: It seems to get better when the pressure rises. That's

446
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: a fact. What were my takeaways? All right? Grant Williams pokes.

447
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: I guess this new saying now is poking the bear right? Well,

448
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: this bear is playoff Jimmy Jimmy Butler, And at one

449
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter of the game, it looked

450
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: like Grant Williams was setting himself speak English, setting himself

451
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: up to create a memory, right, and maybe that memory

452
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: would have been part and parcel two of for a

453
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: victory for the Celtics, a much needed victory. And they're

454
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: down oh and two as well, just like the Nuggets are.

455
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: And you heard of my stat at the top of

456
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: the show, six and fifty six teams that go down

457
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: oh two or six and fifty six when it comes

458
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: to coming back to winning the series. But Boston is

459
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: not only down on two. They lost their first two

460
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: at home. But Grant Williams brought a certain physicality to

461
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: the game and a certain fire that frank through the

462
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: rest of the Celtics. It seemed like they were lacking

463
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: right in his own way, I guess he was trying

464
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: to fire up his teammates and push his teammates, but

465
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: in doing so, he woke up playoff Jimmy Butler and Butler.

466
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: If you look at his final stat line, he at

467
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, twenty seven points. I don't need to read

468
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: it all. Most of his production happened late in the game.

469
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: That happened most first forty minutes, he was okay, but

470
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: he was in great playoff Jimmy Butler. Then he gets

471
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: into this verbal clash with Grant Williams in the fourth quarter. Oh,

472
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: now Butler gets in his own. He makes an example

473
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: of Williams and his teammates hit a bunch of key shots,

474
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Butler served notice to Boston he made a

475
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: big mistake poking me. Okay, at the biggest moments of

476
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: the game, Butler showed up. And if Boston loses this series,

477
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: tell me. It's not fair to ask yourself. Will people

478
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: recall that fourth quarter incident? Wonder if that was a

479
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: big mistake. What might have happened if Grant Williams had

480
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: not stoked Jimmy Butler's fire and not woken up you know,

481
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: let's sleeping dogs lives it were the second takeaway. Jalen

482
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: Brown very roughnite for the Boston Celtics. Okay, Jalen Brown

483
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: is an All NBA player. He's not had a good

484
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals. Yes, he did have twenty two points

485
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: and nine rebounds in Game one, but he also went

486
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: one for six from three point land and he turned

487
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: the ball over six times, and those turnovers were fairly

488
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: well pivotal in the Celtics loss. Then in Game two,

489
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: it got worse. This time, Jalen Brown won of seven

490
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: from behind the act, only had sixteen points, and his

491
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: plus minus was minus twenty four when he was on

492
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: the floor. Now, if the Celtics have designs on getting

493
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals, they need Jalen Brown to be

494
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: an elite level number two. He has not been that

495
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: the first two games. The third takeaway, Yes, the playoff

496
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: version of the Miami Heat. You get the feeling, then

497
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: maybe you can call him a number eight seed all

498
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: you want. But this team seems to be built for

499
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And the quote playoff heat showed up big

500
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: time in Game two because not only was Jimmy Butler

501
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: great late in the game, but his teammates also showed why, hey,

502
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: a starmate winning one game, but a team might win

503
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: them all. Bam Abadeo, one assist away from a triple double,

504
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: hit twenty two points, seventeen rebounds, nine as sists, had

505
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: a put back donk late in the game that seemed

506
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: to be kind of a backbreaker for Boston, plus three

507
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: other players besides Jimmy Butler scored double digits, including Caleb

508
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: Martin undrafted on On Eva Arino. His twenty five points

509
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: basically outscored the entire Boston bench. The next takeaway, has

510
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum lost his fourth quarter magic? Remember how brilliant

511
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum was in the fourth quarter of Game six

512
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: versus Philadelphia and how much he dominated Game seven. Jason

513
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: Tatum does deserve the label a superstar, but so far

514
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: in the first two games, he's lost his late game

515
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: magic against the Heat. Now, he did post thirty plus

516
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: point games in both matchups, but most of it's come

517
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: before the fourth quarter, when it's crunch time, when it's

518
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: winning time. As Magic used to say, Tatum has combined

519
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: for eleven points in the fourth quarters of the first

520
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: two games, six points in Game one and five in

521
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: Game two. If that doesn't change, they'll be joining Nick

522
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: van Exel and Can Kun. The truth of the matter is,

523
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum could be doing a lot more for the Celtics.

524
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: He gets possessions late, and then there's times where he

525
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: doesn't even touch the ball, and then I don't know

526
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: what Joe Missoula is going to tell reporters. I didn't.

527
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: I get sick of watching press conferences. It's the same

528
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: crap over and over again. But I was really disappointed

529
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: that Joe Missoula was so defensive after Game one when

530
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: he says, yeah, we were prepared, but then we let

531
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: go of the rope. Well, did you let go of

532
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: the rope again? Because you had control of the game

533
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: by double digits in the second half and then all

534
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Miami and Miami Playoff, you know, the

535
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: playoff version of the Heat and Jimmy Butler version of

536
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: the playoff Heat, you know, reared the ugly head and

537
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: they stuffed Boston on their home floor in front of

538
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: a pretty hostile crowd. It's pretty impressive, frankly, so difficult

539
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: for me to see how Boston rebounds. But you still

540
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: still got to play the game, right. So I think

541
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: it's a matter of let's not completely overreact, be prisoner

542
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: of the moment. But I think it's safe to say

543
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: a Game three for Boston on Sunday is all important.

544
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Can't call it a must win because it's not an

545
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: elimination game. If it was a must win, if you lost,

546
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: that means the series would be over. Teams don't typically

547
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: come down, come back from being down three and unless

548
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: you're the two thousand and four Boston Red Sox with

549
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: Kurt Chilling and the Bloody Sock and hell, I think

550
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: the Toronto Maple Leafs did it in Detroit back in

551
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: the forties. But you get the picture. It doesn't happen.

552
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: A whole hell of a lost not a position you

553
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: want to be in coming up. The greatest football of

554
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: all times. The greatest football player of all time passed today. Okay,

555
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: I get it that Tom Brady might be the goat,

556
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: he might have the greatest resume, and I'm a huge

557
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady fan, but I'm talking about a gentleman who

558
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: played between nineteen fifty seven and nineteen sixty six nine seasons,

559
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: never missed a game, led the league in rushing eight

560
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: out of nine years, and at a time when lineman

561
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: weighed two forty he was six two two thirty two.

562
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: He had that kind of strength, that kind of athleticism,

563
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: that kind of thickness of alignment, and that kind of durability,

564
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: and he dominated. And he also had quite the life

565
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: after his football playing career. Of course, I'm talking about

566
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: Jim Brown. We'll give our tribute to Jim Brown. Coming up,

567

582
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: see who's gonna win this thing, all right. Uh. Jim

583
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Brown passed today eighty seven years old. Arguably the greatest

584
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: player in NFL history. He was a champion for social

585
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: activism and long after his football career ended with the

586
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. He was very productive and active with his

587
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: life and he some people know him as a as

588
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: an actor. Okay, he hadn't played football since nineteen sixty six.

589
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: He was he decided he wanted to dabble in acting,

590
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: and after nine years in the league, nine glorious years,

591
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: including one championship with the Cleveland brown sixty four, led

592
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: the league in rushing eight of the nine years, was

593
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: MVP League three times. Probably the greatest lacrosse player of

594
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: all time. Came out of Syracuse. Had a nice talk

595
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: with my good buddy, dear friend, Jeremy Shapp today. The

596
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: connection there is interesting. Jeremy's father, Dick Shapp, was a

597
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: lacrosse player for Cornell University, and Dick told me the

598
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: story that as a goalie they played Syracuse and he

599
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: stopped four of Jim Brown's shots, but he also let

600
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: in seven goals. But it was Jim Brown. So how

601
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: do you like them apples? Look, Jim Brown was a

602
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: specimen beyond all specimens, perhaps way ahead of his time.

603
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: We're talking about the fifties here. He was six to

604
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two pounds six two two hundred

605
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: thirty two pounds at a time when linemen were two

606
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pounds. Think about that. But he had

607
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: the athleticism, speed, but also the size and durability and

608
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: power of linemen. But no one ever caught him from behind.

609
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: He had narrow waste, he had tremendous balance, narrow hips

610
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: an incredibly an incredible athlete. And he should have won

611
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy his senior year, and when he lost,

612
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: Dick Shapp refused to vote for the Heisman Trophy for

613
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: the next twenty five years. Jeremy Knight got a good

614
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: laugh out of that today because it was so stupid

615
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: and for all the wrong reasons. He didn't win the

616
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. And these are the things that helped make

617
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: him become an activist, right And Jim Brown, in many ways,

618
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: he was a man of the people. He was a fighter. Yes,

619
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: we can start with the athletic part. That's what put

620
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: him on the map. Right. He led the Browns the

621
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: NFL championship in nineteen sixty four. One of the greatest

622
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: athletes of the twentieth century, he was inducted into the

623
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame in nineteen seventy one when

624
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: he retired in sixty six. He retired at the time

625
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: as the NFL's all time leading rusher twelve three hundred

626
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: and twelve yards. He remember, he only played twelve games

627
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: in a season those years. Eight unanimous First team All

628
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: Pro selections, nine Pro Bowl honors during his nine seasons,

629
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: and that's when the Pro Bowl was the Pro Bowl

630
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: and it meant something. He was a four time NFL MVP,

631
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,959
Speaker 1: eight time rushing champ. Averaged now he averaged first career,

632
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: never missed a game, one hundred and four yards per

633
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: game first career. That's incredible. What's really funny is Barry Sanders, who,

634
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: obviously you know, when he started to mention the great

635
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: running backs of all time, it's the same usual suspects, right,

636
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown. But he

637
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: used to ask Barry Sanders' father, do you think your

638
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: son's the greatest running back of all time? He would

639
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: say not, no, hell no. William Sanders, the father of

640
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders, says Jim Brown. It was Jim Brown the

641
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: best of ever seen, greatest running back ever. And Barrio

642
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: probably still tells that story to this day with a

643
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: smile on his face. But Jim Brown pivoted in the

644
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: summer in nineteen sixty six, he stunned the sporting world

645
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: because he had an opportunity to be in a movie,

646
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: The Jurty Doesn't It was a classic movie, of course,

647
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: and at the time he didn't know he was going

648
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: to retire, but it was the think you know, deadlines

649
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: were going over the deadline that's department of redundancy department,

650
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,959
Speaker 1: and the owner of the Browns called Art Modell, finally

651
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: called it one day. It said, Jim, we either need

652
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: you in camp now or just don't come at all.

653
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: He says, fine, I won't come at all. He retired.

654
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: It was sudden, and that led to actually a pretty

655
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: successful acting career. I bet you didn't know this. His

656
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: acting career and I only spanned many decades, but it

657
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: was all over fifty movies and TV roles. And Brown

658
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: basically said, I know I could have played longer, and

659
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: he was ready to play that last year, but it

660
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: was impossible. They were behind the shooting schedule, and he

661
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: wanted more stimulation in life than just playing football, and

662
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: he also admitted that he wanted to have a hand

663
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: in the struggle for civil rights that had been taking

664
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: place in the country, and that time was now, and

665
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: that led to his other great deals. His impact as

666
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: a social activist was very profound. Jim Brown formed ameri

667
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: can in the nineteen eighties. He won many awards. He

668
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: continued with his public appearances until his health decline. But

669
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: when you look at the black athletes from that era,

670
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Bill Russell, Kreem, Abdul Jabbar, Jim Brown, these are incredibly

671
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: dignified men. They are absolutely you know, accomplishment that were

672
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: larger than life, ten foot tall heroes, not just on

673
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: the field of sports, but in the game of life

674
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: as well. So Jim Brown activist, actor, Hall of Fame,

675
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: football player, social rights social you know, civil rights activists

676
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: as it were, did all those things, led a very

677
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: full life. God blessed Jim Brown. Rest in peace. You'll

Speaker 8: All right, Bernie, sorry Ryan, Wow, they're both in parent

748
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,359

00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 6: They got it going.

751
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 7: All right, We're gonna go in NBA Western Conference Finals.

752
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 7: The Nuggets travel to Los Angeles tomorrow take on the

753
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 7: Lakers for five thirty eight thirty Eastern game. The Lakers

754
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 7: are currently at a shocking for some reason, minus five

755
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 7: and a half. Will you be going with the Lakers

756
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 7: at minus five and a half or the Nuggets plus

757
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 7: five and a half.

758
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 8: I'll take the Nuggets. I'm Serbia and I love Joie Kitchen.

759
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, I think I'm gonna side with Ryan on this.

760
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I think the Lakers retired, and

761
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get max effort Saturday out of

762
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Will not surprised me off they won, but

763
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: that's a decent number. The win by six to beat

764
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: the Nuggets and win by six when the Nuggets have

765
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: plenty of good shooters and they Lakers really haven't solved,

766
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: you could get it all so Lakers might win. But

767

Speaker 7: On Sunday, the Celtics travel to Miami take on the

00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 7: Heat five thirty eight thirty Eastern. The Celtics are currently

809
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 7: minus three. Will you be taking the Celtics minus three

810
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 7: or the Heat plus three?

811
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 6: Remember the Heat are home.

812
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 10: I will bite the rope and take the Celtics minus three.

813
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is the Celtics are nine and

814
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: eleven and home when they are better on the road,

815
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: and NBA history tells us that this is a spot

816
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: situational spot for the Celtics. There ain't no way in

817
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: West Hell. I'm laying three points to Eric Spolster, and

818
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: this Miami Heat team is playing with the purpose. So

819
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the dog at the points and

820
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens.

821

Speaker 1: All right, Hey, welcome in David. By the way, how

828
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: surprised were you that the Coyotes vote would thumbs down?

829
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 8: Oh?

830
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 11: Not that surprised. I know people that live in Tempe

831
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 11: and they didn't want it. Not a lot of people

832
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 11: really care about hockey out here.

833
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: So do you think they're gonna move to Houston? What's

834
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen? I don't think they stay in town? Do they?

835
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 7: Well?

836
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: Arizona state every year? Are they?

837
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 7: No?

838
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: You're probably right.

839
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 11: I don't know if kimba Houston though.

840
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 6: All right, here we go, yep, trivia question?

841
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 7: How many colors are there in a karate belt?

842
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 6: Now?

843
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 7: If you get the colors correct too, I'll give you

844
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 7: an extra hundred points.

845
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 11: Wow, I'll say five colors.

846
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: It's actually, if I'm not mistaken, it's actually six. I

847
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: think most people forget the orange belt because there's white, yellow, blue, green, brown,

848
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: and black. But I think a lot of people forget

849
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: the forget the orange feld that's been You're you're you

850
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: guys are tough ones.

851
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,959

00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: Eddie Gazinski for breakfast before he pitched the nore against

00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: his efforts? That's true, but something this is kind of

00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: like knowledge, you know, Yeah, yeah, I have there have

858
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: some knowledge to have a host to a national radio show.

Speaker 11: Well, the Panthers have been absolutely amazing on the road.

864
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 11: I think Carolina's going to get one at home tomorrow.

865
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of the same. But Flora's been amazing.

866
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: They were the President's Cuple winner last year and spit

867
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: the bit. This year, they've been amazing. They almost did

868
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Lebrovsky's been out of his mind, but

869
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,680

888
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: The Van der Hoo, There you go, bang happened right here?

889
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: In Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. And

890
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: that's one most of us will never forget that has

891
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: famously become Bite Knight. It's famously become Bite Knight. And uh,

892
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: believe it or not, those guys have done a lot

893
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: of they've made, They've made become friends and do a

894
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of autograph tours and things awesome. All right, here

895
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: we go.

896
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 7: Your bet of the Knight is going to stay in

897
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 7: the NHL. The Golden Knights will host the Stars for

898
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 7: Game two. Golden Knights currently up one nothing twelve thirty Pacific,

899
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 7: three thirty Eastern start will go. Money Line will be

900
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 7: taking the Golden Knights at home or the Stars to

901
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 7: tie it.

902
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: With the Night.

903
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: You know, I have to hold my nose, but I

904
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: think this Dallas Stars team with Jake Ottenjured is talented

905
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: and the Zigzag and the NHL when you get to

906
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: this level is pretty pretty reliable. So I expect the

907
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: series to be four to four or two to after four,

908
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: I think Dallas evens scored. The game is Sunday at

909
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: noon here in Las Vegas. I'll go with the Dallas

910
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: Stars going to.

Speaker 1: stuff to get to. So what's interesting to me is

1079
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: that it just seems like a few minutes ago that

1080
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: the Sixers were up in Game six against Boston and

1081
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: they were close to closing out the series, and then

1082
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: they lose it, and then they lose the series, and

1083
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: doc Rivers now owen to nine and potential series clinching games.

1084
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: He's now lost ten games sevens in his career, blew

1085
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: two three to one leads with the Clippers, lost two

1086
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: game sevens, and three years with the Sixers. He's gone.

1087
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: James Harden, who once demanded a trade to Philadelphia, now

1088
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: says he wants out. And uh, you know, Joel Embiid

1089
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: is now rumored going to the Knicks. And this is

1090
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how this happens. This falls in part

1091
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: and crumbles. Harden had a thirty six million dollars player

1092
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: option for next season, and you would assume that, you know,

1093
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: if somehow they can get it together, Harden and bed

1094
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Terrese Maxi, doc Rivers, they just opened the door for

1095
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: the Celtics. Now the Celtics are falling on their face.

1096
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not a James Harden fan. He's I don't

1097
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: think he I don't think he likes pressure. He's terrible

1098
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, He's terrible, and when it matters most,

1099
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: he's going back to Houston. Now, what that leads me

1100
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: to believe is that James Harden has decided that he'd

1101
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: rather be a star of a small show and be

1102
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: a ball dominant guy for a team that has no

1103
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: chance of making the playoffs, or at least you know,

1104
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: has not really they're not on the short list, certainly

1105
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: of being in the NBA Finals. It looks like he's

1106
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: going to go back to Houston, and if you believe

1107
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: the rumors, he is a He was instrumental in getting

1108
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers bounced. So there's your Philadelphia seventy six ers update.

1109
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: It's a shame because when they brought their best, there

1110
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: were times this season they looked really good, and it's

1111
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: just incredible how when it matters most, they were at

1112
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:22,959
Speaker 1: their worst, unlike a gentleman by the name of Jamal Murray. Yes,

1113
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: it is time to give Jamal Murray his flowers. Why

1114
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: because when it was his turn to take over, he

1115
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: took over. I'll explain coming up, but first let's go

1116
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: back to a guy Kevin Figures with the.

1117
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 4: Latest Mey Butler scored twenty seven points to lead Miami

1118

Speaker 4: toy one to eleven to one oh five victory over

1119
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 4: the Celtics Friday night, giving the Heat a two nothing

1120
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 4: series lead. In the Eastern Conference Finals. Caleb Martin off

1121
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,479
Speaker 4: of the bench with twenty five points for the Miami

1122
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 4: heater Or seated eighth in the Eastern Conference. They outscored

1123
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 4: Boston thirty six to twenty two. In the final quarter.

1124
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 4: Did score thirty four points and the lost. Jalen Brown

1125
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 4: scored sixteen but shot just thirty percent from the field.

1126
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 4: Game one of the Western Conference Finals in the NHL

1127
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 4: saw the Golden Knights beat the Stars four to three

1128
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 4: in overtime as Brett Holden scored the game winning goal

1129
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 4: early in the extra period. Second round the PGA Championship,

1130
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 4: Scottie Scheffler tied with Victor Hovlin and Corey Conners for

1131
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 4: the top spot. Bryson Deshambeau was three over for the round.

1132
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 4: He has two strokes off the lead. In baseball, Mookie

1133
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 4: Betts at a three run home run, leading the Dodgers

1134
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 4: over the Cardinals. Boston all over the Padres six to

1135
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,959
Speaker 4: one for their third straight victory. He also had wins

1136
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 4: for the Yankees, Orioles, Mets, and the Angels. And Pro

1137

Speaker 4: passed away on Friday at the age of eighty seven

1139
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 4: back to Bernie Freddo.

1140
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Kevin. So look, I have true minis

1141
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: respect for what Austin Reeves and Ruy hot Chamura have

1142
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: done during the playoffs. But let's face it, with respect

1143
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 1: to the Denver Lakers series, as adn Lebron go will

1144
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: be how the Lakers go, as much the same way

1145
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: as Yokick and Murray go will be how the Denver

1146
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,439
Speaker 1: Nuggets go. Could the Lakers win four the next five?

1147
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: They could, but I'm not betting on it. And part

1148
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: of the reason you can, you know, you can think

1149
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray Thursday night. It was Jamal Murray says, Okay,

1150
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: it's my turn to take over, and you love it.

1151
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray was huge in the bubble. Denver wasn't ready.

1152
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Then they got ousted by the Lakers on the way

1153
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals. But they're getting their come up.

1154
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: It's at least so far. How big was Jamal Murray

1155
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: Thursday night? In Game two? Well, the Nuggets trailed by

1156
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: three points after the third quarter. And if you would

1157
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: have told me that Nicole Jokick would be held scoreless

1158
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth, would it be fair to assume your

1159
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: guests would be Denver would lose the game, but not

1160
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: if Jamal Murray had something to say about it. He

1161
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: clearly had something to prove Jamal Murray think about this.

1162
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: He nearly outscored the Lakers by himself on the fourth quarter.

1163
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,919
Speaker 1: Because Murray had twenty three points in the fourth quarter,

1164
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: the entire Lakers team had twenty four, and that enabled

1165
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Denver to come from behind to win one eight, one

1166
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: O three. That gives him a two O lead in

1167
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: the series. And much like Jason Tatum in Game six

1168
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, Murray did struggle a little bit over the

1169
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: first three quarters, but then he came alive in the

1170
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: final twelve minutes when it mattered most. And through three

1171
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: quarters he was you could save me to yocre five

1172
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen from the floor, two of nine from behind

1173
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the yarc, but he did make his free throw seven

1174
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: of eight. But be that as it may. He hit

1175
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: six of his seven field goal attempts four or five

1176
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: from the fourth quarter and went off on the free

1177
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,479
Speaker 1: throw line, and that enabled Denver to head into Los

1178
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: Angeles with a commanding two O lead. They held serve

1179
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Now again, Yokick didn't score in the fourth, but he

1180
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: did assist on three to three pointers, and he was

1181
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: his usual excellent self of the first three quarters. Made

1182
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: no mistake, Yokik has impact on a game even when

1183
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't score, but he usually does score. But this

1184
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: is where you know, they say Batman has to have

1185
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: his Robin and Jordan Hattevis Pippin. Well, Yokik has got

1186
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: is Jamal Murray and through two games, the main difference

1187
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: in this series, so you want to boil it down

1188
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: to its simple as common denominator is a two man

1189
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: game of Murray and Jokick. Because through the first two

1190
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: games in a Denver Lakers series, Yokick and Murray, they're

1191
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: averaging sixty two almost sixty three points, twenty seven rebounds,

1192
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: and eighteen assists. Now, Yokik had a bit of a

1193
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: meager game by his standards, Thursday still recorded a triple

1194
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: double twenty three points, seventeen rebounds, twelve sist dollars. Again,

1195
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: Murray got, you know, Jamal Murray had a bit of

1196
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: a slow start, really didn't show up until the fourth quarter,

1197
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: but he took matters into his own hands, ultimately finishing

1198
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: with thirty seven points, hit eight of his last eleven shots,

1199
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: an absolute dagger to the Lakers, who clearly are exhausted.

1200
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: Look at Lebron's face when he was on the floor

1201
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: of tiny shoes, probably being dramatic and theatrical. I don't

1202
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: think he's hurt in the least. But he missed laps,

1203
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: missed a dunk. He's tired. He's tired. He's thirty eight

1204
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: years old, He's played a bazillion games in his career,

1205
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 1: and that Denver's got the altitude. And I've been trying

1206
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: to tell people, we'll see how this team does when

1207
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: they got to play every other night and they have

1208
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: to travel. Now, I know this series isn't done, but

1209
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: look for yourself, all right. I just told you what

1210
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Yoka and Murray did, right, sixty two points, twenty seven rebounds,

1211
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: eighteen assists. Meanwhile, both Lebron, James and Ad struggled. Lebron

1212
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: he looked, he just looked spent. He had three attempts

1213
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: at the rim that basically slipped that out of his fingertips. Okay,

1214
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: and in the fourth quarter he he shot three threes

1215
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: and clanked all of them. Now, I did finish with

1216
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: twenty two points, but he missed all shots from behind

1217
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the ark Lebron's only made one three pointer in the

1218
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: fourth quarter the entire playoffs. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis, he took

1219
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: fifteen shots from the field, he only made four. He

1220
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: managed to get to his eighteen points and no one,

1221
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, go back and rewatch the film

1222
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: if you don't believe me. Ad was single covered by

1223
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Jokick for most of the night. And on the other

1224
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: end of the floor, I really believe ad is inability

1225
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: to slow down Yokick one on one is wearing Ad out.

1226
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: And I think the Lakers they've tried altering their defensive coverages,

1227
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: but they're still down zero two. And oh, by the way,

1228
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 1: the Nuggets were leaving Lebron open to shoot those threes.

1229
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead, take them, do what you gotta do. And

1230
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: it worked. Okay. So the first two games of the series, yes,

1231
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: they've been close, decided by a combined eleven points. And

1232
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that Nuggets have not

1233
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: run the Lakers off the floor, but they look to

1234
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: me like they're a step ahead. And when it came

1235
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: to closing the Lakers out Tuesday night, after that great

1236
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: comeback by the Lakers, and the Lakers showed a lot

1237
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,480
Speaker 1: of fight and a lot of resilience, but the Nuggets

1238
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: closed them out. And in Game two, when the Lakers

1239
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: led for the vast majority of the game and the

1240
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: Nuggets took the lead late, the Nuggets closed them out

1241
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: both times. And I would say the long of these

1242
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: playoffs continue. My belief, my humble opinion is Denver will

1243
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: continue to separate themselves from the pack. I think they're

1244
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: well on their way. The Nuggets are to their very

1245
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: first ever NBA Finals appearance in franchise history. The Lakers

1246
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: have had a great run. They have my respect. Regardless

1247
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: of what happens in this series. The Lakers have truly

1248
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: had a good year. They started out two and ten.

1249
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: I cannot give enough at credit and accolades to Darvinham

1250
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,799
Speaker 1: just like his physical latitude, like the way he's presided

1251
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: over this team. Rob Polinka made deals with the trade

1252
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: deadline that made all the difference in the world. Lakers

1253
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: finish up sixteen to seven down the stretch. They take

1254
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: care of Memphis in the first round. Yeah, Memphis didn't

1255
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: have Brandon Clark, they didn't have Steven Adams, but the

1256
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Lakers didn't fumble it either. Lakers take care of Golden State. Yeah,

1257
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: we know Golden State's dysfunctional. It came out now, But

1258
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers didn't fumble it either. But the Lakers were

1259
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: run into a legitimate team that, for some reason, to me,

1260
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: does not get anywhere near the respect they deserve because

1261
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: of their past. And that's stupid. Again. The Lakers have

1262
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,799
Speaker 1: made a great run. It's been even more impressive because

1263
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: they completely re calibrated the team at the trade deadline.

1264
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: But until you show me that the Lakers have a

1265
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: legitimate answer for Yokick and Murray, then you tell me

1266
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: how they're going to win the next five games. Lakers,

1267
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: by the way, don't tell me, show me. Don't tell me,

1268
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: show me. Saturday night, I'm gonna dive back in heavily

1269
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: to the A's to Vegas, and there's always new information.

1270
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: But what happened Monday night in Oakland has to send

1271
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: shockwaves through Major League Baseball because it hadn't happened since

1272
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. I'll explain. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle.

1273
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 1: We're comedy live from Las Vegas. Fox Sports Radio, Tyrack

1274
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening

1275
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. You're

1276
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, coming to live from

1277
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio tyrack dot Com studios here in

1278
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. And I'm sure you've heard blowing in the

1279
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: wind that there are discussions as to whether or not

1280
01:11:53,920 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: at the Oakland A's will move to Vegas. I said

1281
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: since minute one it's a fifty to fifty deal. I'm

1282
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: not saying it's not going to happen. Still haven't seen

1283
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,840
Speaker 1: an artist rendering, don't know who the architect is. They

1284
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: just pivoted and changed sites from the Wild West area

1285
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 1: off of Dean Martin, Tropic Canada. Now Ballely's announced this

1286
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: past week did reached sort of a revised agreement to

1287
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 1: build a stadium on the side of the Tropicanan Hotel,

1288
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: which means they have to level the Tropicana Hotel. And

1289
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 1: there there are issues, There are issues that need to

1290
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: be negotiated, and the bill still needs to be drafted

1291
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: before they consent it to the legislature, which is going

1292
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: to journ here in a couple of weeks. So this

1293
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: is the damned thing I've ever seen, and I've been around.

1294
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: I was in Detroit when ford Field was built, certainly

1295
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: when Comerica Park was built, and you know here when

1296
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 1: T Mobile and Allegiance Stadium, and this is just far

1297
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: different than anything that I have seen. And you know,

1298
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 1: one of the issues is going to be Initially the

1299
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: Oakland A's needed five hundred million dollars to bridge the

1300
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,560
Speaker 1: gap to pay for this thing, and by moving locations

1301
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: over to the Tropic Cannon, that was reduced to three

1302
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 1: ninety five. And it's my understanding the state legislature is

1303
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: willing to pony up two hundred million, but they're two

1304
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars apart. So what do they do. Do

1305
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: they sell bonds. If they sell bonds and the a's

1306
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: can't service the debt on those bonds, then well guess

1307
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: what then they have to maybe raise property taxes. It

1308
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: gets very convoluted, very and we're not near the finish

1309
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: line yet, so I'm not saying no. But it's funny

1310
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: how I'll see a crawl along the bottom of the screen,

1311
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 1: you know, A's Vegas this that we're just not there yet.

1312
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, in the meantime, if you're looking

1313
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: for a little peace and quiet, you might want to

1314
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: hang out at Oakland Coliseum last Monday night, there were

1315
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: a grant total to two thousand fans two thousand and

1316
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: sixty four. That's the fewest in forty three years. September nineteenth,

1317
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine when the attendants that night was announced

1318
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: at one thousand and thirty seven, And if I'm being honest,

1319
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: when I saw the video, I think there were probably

1320
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 1: less than a thousand actual attendants there. Unreal, especially in

1321
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: this day and age when baseball is perhaps it's all

1322
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: time popularity in terms of attendants, in terms of TV rights,

1323
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: and in terms of revenue in Oakland, it's a shame.

1324
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: And attendance, as we all know, has been dismal for

1325
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: the A's for a while now. But can you really

1326
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: blame the A's fans? Can you really blame them their owner,

1327
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: the A's owner, John Fisher, at least from the outside

1328
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: looking in, appears that they just really don't want to

1329
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: invest much money in building anything close to a competitive roster.

1330
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: The A's have had the lowest payroll in baseball, and

1331
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: not surprisingly they got the worst record the majors. Uh,

1332
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,719
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're winning percentages right around two hundred.

1333
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: If they keep this up. They're on a pace to

1334
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 1: win about thirty five games this year, which would which

1335
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: would break the record for the expansion sixty two Mets,

1336
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: who won forty games. On top of that, again, they're

1337
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: talking about moving to Vegas. Now. To give this some perspective, again,

1338
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: can you mention two thousand fans on Monday Night and

1339
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: that's when when they show the highlights. I don't even

1340
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: think there were that many in the ballpark. I just

1341
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: don't it'd look. I mean, you could have fired a

1342
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: cannon through that place and not hit anybuddy. But let's juxtaple.

1343
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: Let's give this some context. The average league attendance this

1344
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 1: season is just under twenty seven thousand per game. The

1345
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: A's were averaging nine thousand a game, but it's getting

1346
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse. The only time the A's

1347
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: all season have drawn what would be considered equal to

1348
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: or slightly greater than the league average was Opening Night

1349
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 1: or Opening Days. It were because the Angels and Shoeotani

1350
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 1: were in town. That's a bit of a draw, right.

1351
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: So here's what's interesting. The average Major league attendants is

1352
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 1: twenty six four and sixty per game. The A's on

1353
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: opening Day with the Angels and Choiotani in town. Through

1354
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: twenty six to eight oh five, that's like three hundred

1355
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:33,799
Speaker 1: and fifty fans more than the average on that one day. Now,

1356
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: there have been fourteen games in the major leagues this

1357
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: season to draw fewer than eight thousand fans. Thirteen of

1358
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: those games are in Fall for the Oaklada's if you're

1359
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 1: scoring at home, and I hope you are. The other

1360
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: one was Tampa Bay at Cincinnati back on April seventeen.

1361
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: But I digress. Here's the sad part. There's really no

1362
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: reason to believe things are gonna get better. The as

1363
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: slipped further and further down to this day, fans are

1364
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 1: even less incentivized to come out to the ballpark. They

1365
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: have a good player in Brent Rooker, right, he's a slugger.

1366
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: Apparently he's not a reason enough to put butts in seats.

1367
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 1: And the A's, you know, have tried some promotional events.

1368
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: I guess they did a Tony Camp poster giveaway and

1369
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: they let the kids run the bases April thirtieth against

1370
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 1: the Mets, and that was actually their second largest crowd

1371
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: of the year. But you're not going to do giveaway

1372
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,679
Speaker 1: nights every night, and I think one of the biggest

1373
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: factors actually in keeping fans away from coming out to

1374
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: the ballpark. As Yogi Berra used to say, if the

1375
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: fans don't want to come out to the ballpark, you

1376
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: can't stop them, right. Gotta love Yogi Berra. But the

1377
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: bottom line is is that the biggest factors that fans

1378
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: know that the A's and their owner want to leave,

1379
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: they're trying to come to Vegas in the worst way.

1380
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: It was first announced in April they had a binding

1381
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: purchase agreement the forty nine acres over by trop and

1382
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: Dean Martin. Then last week they pivoted. They announced plans

1383
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: for a thirty thousand seat stadium on adjacent plot of

1384
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: land over by the Tropicana on the corner of Tropican

1385
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas Boulevard. And as part of the new agreement,

1386
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: they're going to petition the Nevada State legislature for you know,

1387
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,560
Speaker 1: about four hundred million dollars in public funding. It's a

1388
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: one point five billion dollar project. They originally wanted five

1389
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: hundred million. That's what they asked for. But there's there's

1390
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: hang ups there too. Okay. The Nevada Independent, which is

1391
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: a very little paper. They pointed out that the States

1392
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: legislative session is going to end in a couple of

1393
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: weeks here, and there's been no legislation related to the stadium.

1394
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: It's been introduced yet at the A's they cannot get

1395
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: their funding approved before their session ends June fifth. That

1396
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 1: means they would have to call a special legislative session,

1397
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: and that's a major problem because Major League Baseball has

1398
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: set a January twenty twenty four deadline for the A's

1399
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: to get a stadium deal done in Las Vegas. So

1400
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: between the team's terrible record, between their miserable attendance, and

1401
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: the fact that frankly, you can think whatever you want,

1402
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: but they're not near agreeing on a stadium deal yet,

1403
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: this has gotta be maybe one of the worst seasons

1404
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 1: in history, at least to the optics for a Major

1405
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: League Baseball team, and they might not even win as

1406
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: many games as is sixty two mens. We're gonna continue

1407
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: to follow this story and we're gonna fill in some

1408
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: more details on Saturday night. But in the meantime, you

1409
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: really can't blame the A's fans. But I gotta tell you,

1410
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: watching that visual of less than two thousand fans in

1411
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,839
Speaker 1: the ballpark on Monday night. It was a little spooky

1412
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 1: with something right out of the twilight zone. It wasn't

1413
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,879
Speaker 1: good to see because by and large, Major League Baseball

1414
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: is healthy except in Oakland. Coming up, we talk about

1415
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,879
Speaker 1: John Morant. Keep it locked. This is Bernie Fratto Fox

1433
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: You know, years ago, many years ago, Bill Cosby wrote

1434
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: a book called Fatherhood. He was in the height of

1435
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 1: his popularity with The Cosby Show, and it was a

1436
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: very good book. And I would say Cosby knows a

1437
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: thing or two about fatherhood. I believe he raised four sons,

1438
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: and in the book he tells a story about one

1439
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: of his sons was caught to lie and it really

1440
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: bothered him. So he took his son out in the

1441
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: backyard and his son looked at him and says, Dad,

1442
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: are you going to hit me? Are you going to

1443
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: spank me? And Bill Cosby said no, I just want

1444
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: to talk to you. So he told him about the

1445
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: importance of telling him the truth and how disappointed and

1446
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: bothered and hurt he was that his son had lied

1447
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: to him, and that he asked him if you'd not

1448
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: do it again, and his son said no, I won't

1449
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: and they started to walking toward the house, and at

1450
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 1: that moment, according to the excerpt in the book, Bill

1451
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: Cosby whacked him pretty hard across the back and his

1452
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: son was stunned. He said, Dad, I thought you said

1453
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: you weren't going to hit me, and Cosby looked him

1454
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: in the eye and says, I lied. How does it

1455
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: feel to be lied to? One likes that? And if

1456
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 1: you saw Adam Silver's face the other night when he

1457
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: was addressing the Ja Morant situation during the NBA Lottery

1458
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: fiasco show, Silver looked hurt. He looked like he believed

1459
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: he'd been lied to. And this sort of brings us

1460
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 1: to our overarching opinion here that Ja Morant needs to

1461
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: figure things out pretty quickly before he further damages his career,

1462
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: which is a potentially pretty a potential, a potentially brilliant career.

1463
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: Let's just say that potentially, because it appears to me

1464
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: that in order to continue, it's merely a matter of

1465
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: staying true to a condition of employment. If you're going

1466
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: to be an NBA star in a face to the

1467
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: league and get deals from Nike, there's just certain things

1468
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: they don't want you to do, so you can do

1469
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: them as you want, but it's a condition of employment

1470
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: and that may affect your employment. See what you don't

1471
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: want this to see what you don't want this to

1472
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 1: become is this story as old as time, where you

1473
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: have a gifted talented individual because of a god given

1474
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: skill set. He's elevated. He or she elevated to a

1475
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: plateau in life where their character can't keep them. Is

1476
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: that happening here?

1477
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1478
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: This is America. See, you're free to screw up. You're

1479
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: free to make a damn fool of yourself and cost

1480
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: yourself millions of dollars. Enter Jahn Morant. Now, I don't

1481
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,759
Speaker 1: feel sorry for him, but I do have a feeling

1482
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 1: Morent is trying to serve two masters. He's trying to

1483
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: climb two mountains at the same time. He plays basketball.

1484
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: He plays it well. He's basically a human highlight, real,

1485
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: credibly talented. Never want a damn thing that I know of,

1486
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he ever will. Moran also has a

1487
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: personal life. He has friends, and they bond over things

1488
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: you and I probably can't relate to. Now, I'm not

1489
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 1: judging John Morant. Perhaps those folks that Moran associates with

1490
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: mean a lot more to him, and I get that.

1491
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Matt Damon and Goodwill Hunting before

1492
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: they met. Professor Jared Lambeau. Now, Moran most likely is

1493
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: not going to win a Fields Medal and at this point.

1494
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to win an NBA

1495
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: title anytime soon. But Moran has a choice to make.

1496
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: See life's funny, it's all about choices. You stack up

1497
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,719
Speaker 1: good choices, things usually work out. You start to stack

1498
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: up bad choices, it usually doesn't end well. Now, John

1499
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: Morant's friends clearly are a big part of his life.

1500
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 1: I believe he's beholden to them. He respects him, there's

1501
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: mutual love. These are things we can relate to. But

1502
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: Morant needs to be suspended for a year. You heard

1503
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 1: me right, Here's why. And keep in mind that in

1504
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: that time, John Morant can decide where his values truly are.

1505
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: In one year, he'll only be twenty four years old.

1506
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 1: He'll still have his whole life left ahead of him.

1507
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 9: So far.

1508
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: By the way, John Moran has earned thirty one million

1509
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: dollars in his first three years in the NBA, and

1510
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 1: if that's all he ever makes, well, he'd be set

1511
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: for the next three lifetimes. I know you're not supposed

1512
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: to count someone else's money, but I just did because

1513
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: this is much more than about money. It involves a

1514
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: human life. And for all the fake outrage out there

1515
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 1: and all the fake platitudes like, oh, I feel sorry

1516
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: for him, I hope he gets some help. No, you don't.

1517
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 1: You don't care. You worried about your own damn life

1518
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: and making your own house payments. You know you don't

1519
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: really care. You want to act people, You want people

1520
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: to think you care. But Moran needs to help himself.

1521
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Life is like golf rule number six. You're responsible for

1522
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: your own ball and your own score. So if Adam

1523
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Silver doesn't suspend him for a year, then he wants

1524
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: to have his own agenda in mind. Not Morants in

1525
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: our last Saturday Night. Now, I don't care what John

1526
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: Morant was thinking. He probably wasn't thinking. That might be

1527
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 1: evidence he wasn't thinking. Remember, because it was only sixty

1528
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: days ago. The NBA suspended Morent in March after he

1529
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: was seen in Instagram live video brandishing a gun in

1530
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,719
Speaker 1: a Denver Strip club and it was in the middle

1531
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: of a Grizzlies road trip, and his bosses in the

1532
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: Grizzlies were not amused, and neither was the league. And

1533
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: you know, Barrant has a five year, one hundred ninety

1534
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 1: four million dollar contract extension that's supposed to kick in

1535
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,520
Speaker 1: next season, and so he got an eight game suspension.

1536
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,639
Speaker 1: By the way, Nike, which also has a twelve million

1537
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: dollars deal with Morant, he didn't give Morant. They didn't

1538
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: give Moran any crap about it, but they made it

1539
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: pretty certain and they were concerned. I think everybody was.

1540
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 1: John Moran is a very stimulating young player. He's he's

1541
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: a nightly highlight reels. He's frankly fairly inspiring story. He's

1542
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: made it to the big time. He was very lightly

1543
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: recruited out of high school, ended up at Murray State.

1544
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 1: He went to a very small high school in South Carolina.

1545
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,759
Speaker 1: But he's become a star and he's got the potential

1546
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 1: for hundreds of millions in Crewer's no doubt about it.

1547
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: And with that comes responsibility, and the NBA is clear

1548
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: that it's not going to tolerate images of its players

1549
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 1: glorifying guns. Now, Moran is an American citizen, he's a

1550
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: human being. He's allowed to own a gun for his

1551
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: personal protection. But the optics of what you saw are

1552
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: not the same, and you know it. You have to

1553
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: hold two thoughts concurrently now at that time, this is

1554
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 1: the part I think where Adam Silver is ben John

1555
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 1: Morant said he understood. He said, quote, I take full responsibility. Well,

1556
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: or maybe his pupplic relations team wrote that for him

1557
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: right then he went on to say. Moran said, I'm

1558
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: going to take some time away to get help and

1559
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and

1560
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: my overall well being. Well, here's the deal. Whatever the

1561
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: hell help he took up. I didn't seem to last

1562
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 1: or take too well because over last week and there

1563
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: was Morant back on Instagram. I'm live with what appeared

1564
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: to be a gun in his hand, and there seemed

1565
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 1: to be some awareness that once he realized the gravity

1566
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 1: of what was taking place, he tried to pull the

1567
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: gun away and hide it. That was at least my impression.

1568
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: Their response was swift and it was immediate, And the

1569
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:22,799
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies have now suspended Jamarant indefinitely. Another suspension, probably

1570
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: more lost millions. I haven't heard anything about the Nike deal,

1571
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 1: but you don't know, could that be in jeopardy? I

1572
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: don't know. Moreover embarrassment and Jamarant has inserted doubt in

1573
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,760
Speaker 1: the minds of the people who believed in him. And

1574
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: this is just in another in the long list of

1575
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: if you want to be part of this group a

1576
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: long history of self inflected humiliations, and this might be

1577
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: one of the most ridiculous and certainly one of the

1578
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 1: most easily avoidable. How hard is it to not get

1579
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 1: filmed with a gun in your hand? Apparently not too

1580
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,679
Speaker 1: hard for John Morant. I guess now he's been mocked,

1581
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: he's been scolded. I think on some level he deserves it.

1582
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 1: This wasn't just an act of maturity. This was crazy.

1583
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,520
Speaker 1: There are a lot of players who've weighed in their coaches, executives.

1584
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Now they stood by Morant the last time, but plenty

1585
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 1: of them put their credibility on the line and they

1586
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: it was not rewarded with the kind of response you

1587
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,600
Speaker 1: would have wanted for what Now get it. As I

1588
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: said a minute ago, the Second Amendment assures Moran has

1589
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,759
Speaker 1: a right to own a gun. It has no power

1590
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,679
Speaker 1: over an employer set in the standards for that behavior. However,

1591
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 1: the NBA does not want to be associated with gun culture.

1592
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't want weapons at the workplace, and that's the

1593
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 1: NBA's right. It's a condition of employment. Wherever you work,

1594
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 1: you have conditions of employment. Break those and you might

1595
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 1: not be there. So hold those thoughts. Concurrently, Mran has

1596
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 1: a right to own a gun at his home for

1597
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: self protection. I get it, but that you are asked

1598
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 1: to conduct yourself when you have a precious job and

1599
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: a privileged job like the NBA. And ironically, Moran has

1600
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: managed to put himself in danger without actually breaking the law.

1601
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: To the best of my knowledge, he's not a run

1602
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: a file of the law. It's just the images and

1603
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 1: how the league calculates this. Because the NBA expects it

1604
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: stars to be ambassadors of the league. This is a business.

1605
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 1: Barrant puts butts in seats because he can be very breathtaking.

1606
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,639
Speaker 1: He can also turn certain customers off with these images.

1607
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: Don't act like you don't know that. The standard's clear.

1608
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 1: There's a line in the sand. There's no doubts about

1609
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: what this was. There's no doubts about how this is

1610
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 1: not acceptable to the NBA and how this is just

1611
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. Sixty days outside of the last suspension and

1612
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 1: for some reason you couldn't resist basically the same action

1613
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 1: the first chance he got. He's young, he's twenty three,

1614
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: but he's old enough to know the basics of how

1615
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 1: the world works. He went to college a couple of years.

1616
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,679
Speaker 1: He's been in the NBA four years, and I believe

1617
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:14,639
Speaker 1: you know he's received support from the Grizzlies organization. They've

1618
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: invested in him. And this is not some clueless kid.

1619
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,599
Speaker 1: He can't give you the babe in the woods routine.

1620
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 1: He's not some underage teenage kid playing for some goofball.

1621
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a situation where he's a professional,

1622
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: he's an adult, and you really can only go so far.

1623
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,839
Speaker 1: You really can't blame these on the people who Morant

1624
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 1: hangs around with. I get it, as friends are aren't

1625
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 1: doing him any favors. But I also understand these fields

1626
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,519
Speaker 1: maybe beholden to his friends. These are the guys who

1627
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: knew him. These are the people who were in his

1628
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,000
Speaker 1: corner long before he was John Morant. But as a

1629
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: result of that, John Moran should be the alpha dog

1630
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: of that group. He should be the alpha dog of

1631
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: any group he's around. I'm not gonna call it a

1632
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,320
Speaker 1: guy's hangers on, but if John Moran is not capable

1633
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 1: of standing up for yourself and doing the easy thing

1634
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 1: and the proper thing, then this is gonna be an

1635
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:07,719
Speaker 1: epic fail. It's gonna result in more lost millions of dollars,

1636
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: more embarrassment, more doubt, perhaps the career thrown away. Kwame Brown.

1637
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 1: Did you hear his comments? Heues, I've heard of NBA

1638
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 1: young boy, you know, but you NBA dumb boy. Come on, man,

1639
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: When you got Kwame Brown rolling up on you like that,

1640
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: you know you're not having a good day. So look.

1641
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 1: As of yet, the NBA has not announced its long

1642
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 1: term punishment, but I think it's coming. I don't know

1643
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. I think this time John Morant

1644
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 1: needs to turn his downtime into some serious reflection. I

1645
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 1: think he needs a year off. He's only twenty three.

1646
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: He come back at twenty four. He's got a lot

1647
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: to offer, he's got a lot to lose, and he's

1648
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 1: got too many people trying to help him anything. Nust

1649
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 1: in the year, it's a fagezi because he's already proved

1650
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 1: that there wasn't enough time, even though he said there was,

1651
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: and sixty days later we went right back. See because

1652
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: in that year, he'll know what it feels like to

1653
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 1: be away from the game. I'm guessing he loves. He'll

1654
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: know what it feels like to not be paid those

1655
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 1: millions and play in front of cheering crowds. So he

1656
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 1: can choose that life, or he can choose the right life.

1657
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 1: You'll have a guaranteed another decade to play in the

1658
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 1: league after that year off. That is just my opinion.

1659
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 1: Now in in a minute here, we're going to bring

1660
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: in the crew. I want to see what they would do.

1661
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: I'll let them put the commissioner, hat Ethan and Kevin

1662
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 1: on their head and see what they would do, and

1663
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 1: then what do they think will happen. We'll have a

1664
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a roundtable discussion. And I want to

1665
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: make one thing clear. The thoughts that I am sharing

1666
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 1: here with respect to what needs to be adjudicated are

1667
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,919
Speaker 1: not nearly as much about punishment and more about correction.

1668
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: It's not about punishing him, about having him understand. What's

1669
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: the old saying, you don't know what it's lost till

1670
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: it's gone. Let's see how he feels about sitting out

1671
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 1: a whole any one game season. It's been done before,

1672
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Alex Karis and Paul Hornham saying out a year in

1673
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 1: the NFL and it fixed them. There's a gambling issue.

1674
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: In the sixties, there have been year long suspensions. Calvin

1675
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: Ridley seems to be no worse for where he'll be

1676
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: back in the NFL this year, And neither one of

1677
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 1: those incidents involved flashing a gun, which is something the

1678
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,880
Speaker 1: NBA just does not want that image. So here you

1679
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: have it. At this point, I'm repeating myself. Coming up,

1680
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:38,559
Speaker 1: will bring in the crew, see what their thoughts are.

1681
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to your live from Las Vegas,

1682
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, tirect dot com Studios. Keep it locked

1683
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 1: listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show. Fox Sports Radio. Fire

1684
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 1: back on the Bernie Fraddles Show. Come to live from

1685
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: the tyrect dot com Studios, Fox Sports Radio. You're in

1686
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:04,839
Speaker 1: Las Vegas ruminating about the Ja Morant situation. As of yet,

1687
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 1: the NBA has not assessed any punishment, if you want

1688
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: to call it that with respect to his suspension. You've

1689
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:20,559
Speaker 1: heard my thoughts. If we want to rehabilitate this young

1690
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 1: man and get him on a straight and narrow so

1691
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: we can have a ten year career and realize his potential,

1692
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: I think he needs to go away for a year.

1693
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 1: It's not punishment. The idea is to let him view

1694
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 1: what the world looks like with no basketball, so we

1695
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 1: can properly juxtapose what his life could be and what

1696
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: it is and understand the reality and the gravity of

1697
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 1: the situation by experiencing it. So, Kevin, let's start with you.

1698
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:52,720
Speaker 1: Let's say you're the commissioner. You've got the autonomy here.

1699
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: How do you deal with this situation? What do you do?

1700
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, my initial thought when this happened Bernie was I

1701
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 4: was going to give him at, you know, thirty to

1702
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 4: fifty games the majority of the upcoming season. But you know,

1703
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 4: hearing you talked through it last segment, I think it

1704
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 4: actually makes more sense than is more impactful if you

1705
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 4: set him out for the entire season. Look, this is

1706
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 4: someone who looked a commissioner right in the face and

1707
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 4: told him that, you know, he had changed and he

1708
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 4: wasn't going to do this anymore, and then a couple

1709
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,560
Speaker 4: of months later he goes right back to it. So

1710
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 4: clearly there's a deeper issue, whether it's with the people

1711
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 4: he surrounds himself with, you know, however you want to

1712
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 4: describe it, But to your point, you know, this is

1713
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 4: something that needs to be nipped in the butt now

1714
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 4: because he can end up costing himself much more down

1715
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 4: the road. So if you end up losing a year

1716
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:39,559
Speaker 4: but end up gaining ten twelve years after that, then

1717
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 4: I think the sacrifice would be much more worth it.

1718
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 4: So I've actually come around and agreed to agreed with

1719
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 4: you that I think the best thing the Commissioner could

1720
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 4: do would be to suspend him for the entire year,

1721
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 4: and not just to suspend him and have him just

1722
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:54,400
Speaker 4: go away and disappear, but help him, put him in programs,

1723
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 4: monor to him, give him whatever help he needs, whatever

1724
01:36:57,240 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 4: counsel he needs, to make sure as one of the

1725
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 4: young faces of the league that he doesn't put himself

1726
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 4: in these situations in the future.

1727
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 1: So exactly my sentiments. And here's why I say that,

1728
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 1: because maybe he you know, it's his right. This is America. Hey,

1729
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 1: I've made thirty one million. I'd rather hang with my home,

1730
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: my homies. I got plenty of money. I can do

1731
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: what I want. You can't tak what to do. I

1732
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: don't need basketb anymore. That's his choice, right. But here's

1733
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 1: the larger issue, And this is why I said what

1734
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 1: I said, Kevin. I think you picked right up on

1735
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,640
Speaker 1: the essence of it. Tell me what this looks like

1736
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 1: if irrespective of however long John Morant is suspended, if

1737
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:33,879
Speaker 1: that's the operative word, and then there's a third incident,

1738
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: how's that going to play.

1739
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, not well, because that's the problem after you give

1740
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 4: him a full year and he does it again, I

1741
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 4: mean whether the option I mean multiple years suspended forever.

1742
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:47,679
Speaker 4: But again, can you do that to someone who hasn't

1743
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 4: really broken the law? I think that's a kind of

1744
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 4: a slippery slope situation too.

1745
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: It's a condition of employment. That's where you draw the distinction.

1746
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 1: Sure my employer. Yeah, you don't have to break the

1747
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 1: law to be in trouble with your employer. And if

1748
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: you want to be one of the faces of the

1749
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: NBA and Nike, they're merely asking you to follow this

1750
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: condition of employment. Let's say they give him forty games,

1751
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,839
Speaker 1: but then for whatever reason, he comes back and returns

1752
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 1: and has a third incident in the same and these

1753
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:20,240
Speaker 1: real hypothetical discussions. Can you imagine how that's going to

1754
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 1: play out? Yeah, oh, it will be terrible.

1755
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 4: But I also you know how these things work too, Bernie.

1756
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 4: I mean, the players Association would get involved, and you know,

1757
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 4: talking about how you can levy punishment against someone who

1758
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 4: hasn't broken by the way, I don't know is what's

1759
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:37,960
Speaker 4: in his contract. I know there's personal conduct policies within

1760
01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 4: the team contracts as well as a contract with the NBA.

1761
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:43,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's something within that that says,

1762
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 4: you know, if you're a repeat offender, you know what

1763
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 4: that means. So those are things I'm not necessarily privy too.

1764
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 4: So I don't really know exactly what the Commissioner, in

1765
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 4: the power of his officeive commissioner, can actually do from

1766
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:56,520
Speaker 4: an autonomy standpoint when it comes to the players Association

1767
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 4: and their involvement too. So those are just a lot

1768
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,519
Speaker 4: of layers to that. And just assuming that Adam Silver

1769
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 4: has autonomy to do whatever he wants, he might, I

1770
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 4: just don't know what the office of the Commissioner has

1771
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:07,839
Speaker 4: the power to do in this situation.

1772
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 7: Well.

1773
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 1: But but somewhere in this narrative, though, didn't John Morant

1774
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: look at him and apologize and said he wouldn't do

1775
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:17,040
Speaker 1: it again? He did, He absolutely did, so I kind

1776
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 1: of want to focus on that more anything else. But again,

1777
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: this is a fluid situation. The idea is to protect

1778
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,640
Speaker 1: the integrity and long term success of John Morant in

1779
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 1: his career. These are just my thoughts. And we're doing

1780
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: a radio show here, We're not you know, we're not

1781
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: the burning bush. All right, Dethan, you got the last

1782
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 1: word on this A what would you do if you

1783
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: were the commissioner? And what do you think is going

1784
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 1: to happen.

1785
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 6: I'm definitely not the burning bush.

1786
01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 7: But if I had an opinion on this, I would

1787
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:52,440
Speaker 7: say the biggest thing for me just him as a professional.

1788
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 6: He has to be the example.

1789
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 7: I don't really care what he's doing off the court

1790
01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 7: personally as a huge like if it's it's terrible, yeah,

1791
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 7: if you had a gun whatever, like blah blah blah,

1792
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 7: you had a gun, terrible. But the biggest thing is

1793
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 7: that there's little kids watching him, and there's you know,

1794
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 7: there's millions of eyes on him.

1795
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 6: So he needs to kind of understand that.

1796
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 7: I don't think he does, which is a shame, but

1797
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:23,439
Speaker 7: I think he can. I agree with you guys that,

1798
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 7: you know, I think a year would be right. It

1799
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 7: stinks for the guy, it stinks for the league. But

1800
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 7: if you're gonna, you know, look a guy in the

1801
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 7: eyes and look him in the face and say I

1802
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 7: won't do it again, and then you know, go on

1803
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:42,759
Speaker 7: Instagram Live and lash your gun. I mean it's any

1804
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 7: time I when I was a child and I made

1805
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 7: mistakes twice, I got in trouble. You know, anybody who

1806
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 7: does stuff wrong twice, you get in trouble, especially if

1807
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 7: you lie.

1808
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 6: So that's just my thought on it.

1809
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 1: And part of this is optics. I mean, in much

1810
01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:01,240
Speaker 1: the same way Roger Goodell is not Calvin Ridley betting

1811
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,840
Speaker 1: on games, even though this is about as innocuous as

1812
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 1: it what could be. I couldn't believe he got a year.

1813
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 1: But it's the same dynamic and that they are optics here.

1814
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:16,639
Speaker 1: We have image here and a public persona. So we're

1815
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:18,959
Speaker 1: going to continue to follow this situation. We know it's

1816
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 1: far from being adjudicated. Coming up, Chris purfets World of

1817
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,920
Speaker 1: Soccer tons of new this week, but first let's go

1818
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,440
Speaker 1: back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1819
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 4: All Right and the Miami Heater up two to nothing

1820
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 4: over the Boston Celtics after winning both games in the

1821
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 4: TV Garden Eastern Conference Finals, now shifting back to Miami

1822
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 4: for Game three on Sunday. But on Friday, Jimmy Butler

1823
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 4: scoring twenty seven points of grabbing eight boards, he also

1824
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 4: dished out six assists the heat, overcoming a twelve point

1825
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 4: fourth quarter deficit. They have an early stranglehold on the series,

1826
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 4: and like I mentioned, the series now heading back to

1827
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 4: South Beach. The NHL Las Vegas struck first in the

1828

1829
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 4: over Dallas four to three. The final score Brett Howden

1830
01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:00,679
Speaker 4: scoring the game winning goal about ninety seconds into the period.

Speaker 4: shots back, brooks Kepka three strokes off the lead. In

1834
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:12,560
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball break, Blake Snell fell to one in

1835
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 4: five on the season. He allowed six earned runs to

1836
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 4: the Red Sox. Rafeo Devers went twice for Boston, six

1837
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:21,080
Speaker 4: to one. The final score in favor of Boston. Met

1838
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:23,760
Speaker 4: Olsen a home run leading Atlanta over Seattle. You had

1839
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 4: victories for the Astros, Angels and the Dodgers, who beat

1840
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 4: Saint Louis five nothing.

1841
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 1: All right, back to Bernie Frido. All right, thanks, Kevin.

1842
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,639
Speaker 1: So In soccer this week, we've got a Champions League final.

1843
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 1: What you said we had a crazy match in Sheffield

1844
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:41,280
Speaker 1: and all by the way, we've even got Major League

1845
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:46,920
Speaker 1: Soccer expanding to San Diego. So this is when we

1846
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 1: typically bring Chris in for Chris perfets World of Soccer.

1847
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: I guess we're efforting, Chris. You can let me know

1848
01:42:55,439 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 1: when we have Chris available. One of the things that

1849
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 1: happened this week, and you heard it on you heard

1850
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:08,479
Speaker 1: it during during the during the break as it were

1851
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 1: a SoundBite from the from the odd couple. Uh the Spurs. Now,

1852
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:16,479
Speaker 1: once upon a time they had David Robinson and then

1853
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 1: they had Tim Duncan, and now they get Victor Wimgana. Now,

1854
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: I uh, i'd throw a flag about how he's the

1855
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:29,800
Speaker 1: most type guy in history. And I guess we will

1856
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,799
Speaker 1: deal with that Saturday night, because it's time Chris befests

1857
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 1: World of Soccer.

1858
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 2: The greatest goals, the thrilling, finishes, the international drum. It's

1859
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 2: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1860
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: So Chris, let's start with soccer's expansion to San Diego.

1861
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,120
Speaker 1: And they've even got a prompt and an owner. People

1862
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: who've heard of the name.

1863
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, so it is MLS that just Analysis League. They're

1864
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 10: thirtieth team. Thirty teams. That's normal frost here in the

1865
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 10: United States. Thirty is kind of magical number for the

1866
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 10: other major leagues. For most soccer leagues Aroma world, that's

1867
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 10: pretty big. Most leagues I know cap out around like

1868
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,559
Speaker 10: twenty or so before promotion relegation comes in place. But

1869
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,680
Speaker 10: San Diego will be getting an MLS team. They will

1870
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 10: be paying a whopping five hundred million in expansion fees

1871
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 10: to the league, but the ownership can handle it. One

1872
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 10: of those owners is Mohammed Mansor, who is an Egyptian billionaire.

1873
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 10: Not a big name over here in the United States.

1874
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 10: Just no, he's probably he's one of the top ten

1875
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:42,000
Speaker 10: richest men in the world, has a lot of distribution

1876
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 10: networks he owns. It's also being owned by a Native

1877
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 10: American tribe, the Sikuan Band of the Kuma Nation, first

1878
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 10: Native American tribe to co own US professional soccer seas

1879
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:58,679
Speaker 10: and to make sure that it stays sufficiently San Diego,

1880
01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 10: They've also included Padre star Many Machado in the ownership,

1881
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 10: So once again another prominent American sports star getting into

1882
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:09,440
Speaker 10: club ownership.

1883
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,599
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's a good thing. Frankly and yeah, hoping.

1884
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:17,439
Speaker 1: What I'm hoping is no, I doubt we're going to

1885
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,200
Speaker 1: get to see Messi, but you know we've got to

1886
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 1: Seeze lot On and we've gotten to see David Beckham,

1887
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: and I think as time moves we will see other

1888
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:29,640
Speaker 1: big team, Big nine, big main players, you know, in

1889
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:30,920
Speaker 1: the twilight of their career come on.

1890
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 10: Over sure, And I think see in San Diego is

1891
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 10: a great place for this. You know, MLF has kind

1892
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 10: of been really careful about where it's placing teams, not

1893
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 10: choosing too many play places that have a ton of

1894
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 10: sports teams already. They've kind of issued place like Pittsburgh

1895
01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:47,599
Speaker 10: or Detroit, but they you know, they've picked up Columbus

1896
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 10: when they went to Ohio. But I think San Diego

1897
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:52,760
Speaker 10: is a is a sports team town that's been on

1898
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 10: the up. It is also home to the end of

1899
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 10: US SOL called the San Diego Waves, so they'll be

1900
01:45:58,000 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 10: right to home there.

1901
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you mention in Detroit. Remember back

1902
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 1: in the nineties when the Detroit Rockers were kind of

1903
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:03,879
Speaker 1: the rage from Detroit.

1904
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,639
Speaker 10: I know, well, it's all about Detroit City FC now,

1905
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 10: but their UFL championships.

1906
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: Rockers mean side the point is it was actually popular,

1907
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 1: all right, Speaking of popularity, Champions League final is set.

1908
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:15,639
Speaker 1: What do you got?

1909
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 10: All right? So yeah, very disappointing end this week from

1910
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 10: Real Madrid as Manchester United beat them on aggregate here

1911
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:27,120
Speaker 10: it's kind of put their boss under pressure. No Champions

1912
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 10: League Barcelona just sewed up La Liga this week as well,

1913
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 10: and certainly no Copa del Rey. So a troculus season

1914
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 10: for Real Madrid. But Manchester City continues their quest for

1915
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 10: a treble between you know them taking the lead in

1916
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 10: the Premier League, the FA Cup and now into the

1917
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 10: Champions League final and then Inter Milan is really kind

1918
01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 10: of the more impressive story in my mind. They got

1919
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 10: through on the semi final, playing their in city rival

1920
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 10: AC Milat in the two amazing matches in San Zero,

1921
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:00,080
Speaker 10: one of the great places to ever watch, a a

1922
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 10: cathedral really of Calcio of Italian soccer. Inter has kind

1923
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 10: of catapulted themselves back after a couple weird years in

1924
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 10: the nether regions. They lost stars like Romelo Lucaku and

1925
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 10: they kind of had some financial concerns, but they're back

1926
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:20,679
Speaker 10: up here and Italy is actually doing very well across Europe,

1927
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 10: I believe also Juventus and Roma are still in contention

1928
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 10: for several of the other leagues, and the Roma is

1929
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,719
Speaker 10: heading to the Europa League finalist in the second tier.

1930
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 10: But that is your matchup. We haven't here in about

1931
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 10: twenty days time, as internazion Al Milan will take on

1932
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:36,840
Speaker 10: Manchester City and that one's going to be a one

1933
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 10: game final. It's not a two leg aggregate as with

1934
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:40,679
Speaker 10: the rest of the tournament.

1935
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 1: So one of the reasons we do this is to

1936
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,720
Speaker 1: bring folks stories they would probably have never heard of.

1937
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:50,960
Speaker 1: I understand there was an incredible comeback in the English

1938
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 1: Football League playoffs this past week involving Sheffield. Was that

1939
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 1: the game you were alluding to?

1940
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:59,759
Speaker 10: Yes, so we we talked about this. Yeah, So Sheffield

1941
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 10: when day, that's not a day of the week it is.

1942
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 10: That is the name of the club, Sheffield Wednesday. More

1943
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 10: people know the club Sheffield United, who sometimes makes it

1944
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 10: up to the Premier League, but Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United

1945
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 10: old rivals. Sheffield Wednesday, though, has been kind of bumming

1946
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 10: around in kind of the lower tiers of the English

1947
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:23,680
Speaker 10: Football League. I believe they are League Two trying to

1948
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 10: seek promotion to League One and then the playoffs and

1949
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 10: they do a they do aggregates down there in the playoffs.

1950
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 10: So they came in to the second leg of their

1951
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 10: of their of their of their tie down four goals

1952
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 10: to Peterborough or four nil hole they have to overcome

1953
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 10: four toy even just get a chance to shoot out. Well,

1954
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,599
Speaker 10: that second leg happened to end five to one final

1955
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 10: time in favor of Sheffield Wednesday an unbelievable play as

1956
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,639
Speaker 10: just their stars just went electric. It was two nil

1957
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:57,720
Speaker 10: until about the seventy first minute and then just the

1958
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:01,280
Speaker 10: scoring just kept going on and on Wednesday just managed

1959
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 10: to put out the magic and then it went all

1960
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 10: the way to penalties, the penalty kicks and it was

1961
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:08,160
Speaker 10: on the leg of their one of their starts, Jake

1962
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 10: Hunt some making the necessary goal to advance. That was

1963
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 10: the they are going to be in the League One

1964
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:18,680
Speaker 10: promotion playoff finals coming up here. But honestly, everyone I

1965
01:49:18,760 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 10: knew when England was talking about this, even some people

1966
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:25,000
Speaker 10: of State side just you love matches like that where

1967
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 10: there's just so you've got the team so down the

1968
01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 10: hole and yet somehow they still find that spirit to

1969
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 10: come make through it.

1970
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was amazing, biggest comeback in history that's I mean,

1971
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:37,639
Speaker 1: that's like being good down forty to nothing in football,

1972
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 1: maybe even worse. Finally, the German Bundesliga coming down to

1973
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 1: the wire. You've got some thoughts there.

1974
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was the Big four.

1975
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,679
Speaker 10: Two of them are sewed up. Now we've got into

1976
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 10: Syria going to Napoli, We've got Laaliga going to.

1977
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:54,200
Speaker 9: Barcelona.

1978
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 10: We've talked at length about this race in Manchester City

1979
01:49:56,840 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 10: and Arsenal. I think Arsenal after loss to Brighten and

1980
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 10: Hope album and has completely given up the ghosts.

1981
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:02,599
Speaker 11: At this point.

1982
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:04,639
Speaker 10: I think it's cities to lose as we head down

1983
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:07,760
Speaker 10: the leg. But there's two matches remaining for each for

1984
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:12,280
Speaker 10: both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Boris Dortmann trailed by

1985
01:50:12,320 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 10: a single point behind the Giants fired Munich. Borisia Dortmund

1986
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:21,599
Speaker 10: of course, featuring American star Giovanni Raina, who is electric Byron.

1987
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,360
Speaker 10: They've been up and down this year. They're still trying

1988
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:25,479
Speaker 10: to hold onto the crowns and make it yet another

1989
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 10: on this league crown. But down the stretch here it's

1990
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 10: going to be really fascinating. Borisia Dortmann kind of has

1991
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 10: the easier schedule finishing with Augsburg and Mainz, whillas Munich

1992
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 10: has to take on Leipzig, who's top four in that

1993
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 10: league in Cologne. It is absolutely fascinating. I think the

1994
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 10: sporting press has been kind of heralding this renaissance for

1995
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,600
Speaker 10: Borussia Dortmund, who's kind of been the one in the

1996
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 10: past challenge in Munich's fun, questioned rattling, whereas Byron Munich

1997
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 10: just gets all the glory. They're the ones who's going

1998
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:58,799
Speaker 10: to attract NFL teams their stadium when when the NFL

1999
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,639
Speaker 10: decides to come play in Germany. It's a old club,

2000
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 10: it's a well stored club, but they have to get

2001
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:08,559
Speaker 10: hold on They cannot lose a single point as Nortman

2002
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 10: nips at their heels. It is absolutely something to watch.

2003
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 10: This week kind of comes to the end of the

2004
01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 10: regular seasons for Europe.

2005
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: And of course, as each passing week goes by, we're

2006
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 1: that much closer to Women's World Cup coming up in

2007
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,720
Speaker 1: July and Paris. I'm imagining you have some reportage on

2008
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:25,759
Speaker 1: that as we get closer.

2009
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 10: We've got plenty there. We'll be getting into it in June.

2010
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure sounds good, Chris, so we'll have you back

2011

01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,040

Speaker 1: in store Saturday night as well. Thanks Chris, Thank care, Bernie.

Speaker 1: All right, Chris Burfett's World of Soccer coming up. All right,

2015
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:49,800
Speaker 1: it happened to Randy Johnson in two thousand and one,

2016
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 1: it happened to Dave Winfield back in nineteen eighty three.

2017
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 1: Now it's happened to the Diamondbacks, Zach Gallen. I will explain.

2018
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Frodle. We're coming lying from the Las Vegas

Speaker 1: I'm back on these airwaves later on tonight Saturday eleven PM.

2031
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: Got some great guests, and we'll be of course diving

2032
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 1: into the results of the Lakers Denver among many other

2033
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:08,719
Speaker 1: sports stories. You know, back in nineteen eighty three, Dave

2034
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: Winfield was in Toronto. He's playing for the Yankees. His

2035
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:16,160
Speaker 1: manager was Billy Martin, and he was playing catch between

2036
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:20,640
Speaker 1: innings and aaron throw killed a siegull. He was just

2037
01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: warming up, and the Ontario Provincial Police took this very

2038
01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 1: serious and Winfield was actually arrested for causing quote unnecessary

2039
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: suffering of an animal. Of course, the charges were eventually dropped,

2040
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 1: and not before a fairly thorough investigation, which included an

2041
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 1: interview by the Ontario Provincial Police with manager Billy Martin,

2042
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 1: and they asked, Billy Martin, do you think Dave Winfield

2043
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:46,799
Speaker 1: intentionally threw that ball to try to hit that seagull?

2044
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 1: And Martin laughed and said, are you kidding? Dave Winfield

2045
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been a cutoff man in years. Winfield actually had

2046
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 1: the charges dropped. By the way, you may recall back

2047
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, Randy Johnson was pitching and

2048
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:10,280
Speaker 1: he threw a fastball and it just sort of obliterated

2049
01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:12,920
Speaker 1: this bird. It was a dove. Actually, it was during

2050
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:17,680
Speaker 1: the spring training game against the Giants, and it was

2051
01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 1: crazy to watch on video. The bird kind of exploded.

2052
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 1: And even by the way, James McCann, who was once

2053
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,320
Speaker 1: a catcher for the Tigers, he had a file ball

2054
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:31,280
Speaker 1: into a bird that sat behind home plate. It was

2055
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 1: a great Fruit League game back in twenty fifteen, and

2056
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 1: it had knocked the bird flying into the lap of

2057
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: a fan. And by the way, not for nothing, you

2058
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 1: probably remember this mono Joel Olton Genobili. This is back

2059
01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine when it was actually a

2060
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 1: game on Halloween night when the Spurs were playing the

2061
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:54,600
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. He swatted a bat out of mid air. Right, So,

2062
01:54:54,640 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 1: there have been multiple incidents with players and winged an Okay,

2063
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 1: major league players occasionally encounter birds during their time on

2064
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:06,960
Speaker 1: the field. Most do not end in tragedy. However, However,

2065
01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 1: the unfortunately, unfortunately the other night, while warming up for

2066
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:18,000
Speaker 1: his team's game against Oakland on Wednesday, the Diamondback pitcher

2067
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon threw through a fastball which killed a bird

2068
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 1: when it crossed paths with the ball in mid flight.

2069
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:31,600
Speaker 1: And it's, of course, you know, gotten much water cooler talk,

2070
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 1: and it can it of course engendered comparisons to the

2071
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:46,920
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson incident. Right, and uh, when he killed the dove.

2072
01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't mean to laugh, it's not funny, but you

2073
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 1: know one of the PR one of the PR notes

2074
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 1: was writing written and it said something the bird is

2075
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 1: no longer with us. Right and by the way, German

2076
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:00,800
Speaker 1: by the name of Mike Swanson, who is the DIAMONDBACKSPR

2077
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 1: director at the time of Randy Johnson incident, they estimated

2078
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:08,520
Speaker 1: the odds are one in thirteen million, one in thirteen

2079
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:13,200
Speaker 1: million of a situation like that happening, right, And he

2080
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 1: said he can't even see. They saw the bird, They

2081
01:56:15,040 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 1: saw the image coming from out of the deck out

2082
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:20,520
Speaker 1: there was a quick thought that the bird and the

2083
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 1: ball might cross pass and it was almost like suspended animation,

2084
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:27,680
Speaker 1: and sure enough it happened and the bird got completely smoked.

2085
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 1: That's probably the most infamous one. The Winfield thing wasn't

2086
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 1: on TV. And I don't know if there's any video

2087
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 1: of this Act Gallon one, and I'm guessing there's not

2088
01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:41,880
Speaker 1: much video that James McCann one, but the Randy Johnson one.

2089
01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:44,080
Speaker 1: They showed it in slow motion. They showed it from

2090
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:49,520
Speaker 1: multiple angles. And the bird, you see, it's almost like

2091
01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,080
Speaker 1: the more you watch it, you say to yourself, wait

2092
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:55,080
Speaker 1: a minute, now, is this really gonna happen. The bird

2093
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 1: is traveling, the ball is traveling, the bird is traveling,

2094
01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 1: and then they converge at the same time. Him and

2095
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 1: the goddarn bird just basically exploded. And at that time,

2096
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks had a first base coach by the name

2097
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:13,280
Speaker 1: of Eddie Rodriguez. He said he did. He just he

2098
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:18,600
Speaker 1: couldn't picture that they would actually collide. And but it's

2099
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 1: just in much the same way I just described that.

2100
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 1: He described it the same way. The bird just kept

2101
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 1: going and going and going. In the next thing, you know,

2102
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:30,320
Speaker 1: all you heard was poof. So now Jack Zach Gallum

2103
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 1: has has joined the club. Only this time that happened.

2104
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:37,880
Speaker 1: It happened during warm ups, and uh, I guess they

2105
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 1: shared the story with Zach Gallon and so now he

2106
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,800
Speaker 1: is he is in fact a part of the club.

2107
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:47,240
Speaker 1: And uh, there you have it. You know, Birdie is

2108
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:50,400
Speaker 1: a good thing in golf, but maybe not so much

2109
01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:57,080
Speaker 1: in in in in baseball. So we've got we've got

2110
01:57:57,080 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 1: a really interesting playoff game Saturday, five thirty Pacific between

2111
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets. And we're gonna see

2112
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:12,960
Speaker 1: now if this Cinderella story involving the Lakers continues. Do

2113
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:16,240
Speaker 1: I expect the Lakers to win Saturday night? I expect

2114
01:58:16,240 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 1: them to empty the tank with absolute maximum effort. I

2115
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:21,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's a guarantee they're gonna win. I mean,

2116
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 1: there have been so much of a group think echo chamber,

2117
01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 1: a narrative that the series is automatically and then go

2118
01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:30,240
Speaker 1: back to Denver two to two. I don't see that

2119
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:34,440
Speaker 1: because people are neatly ignoring the fact that the Lakers

2120
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:38,120
Speaker 1: having to travel and play back to back literally forty

2121
01:58:38,120 --> 01:58:41,240
Speaker 1: eight hours apart. You can already see how Gas, Davis

2122
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:45,040
Speaker 1: and Lebron were. So would it surprised me if the

2123
01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:47,800
Speaker 1: Lakers one Saturday night. No, But frankly I'd be slightly

2124
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 1: surprised if they backed it up and came back and

2125
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:52,960
Speaker 1: won again Monday. So anyway, slice that we're having one
