1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Rado.

Speaker 2: NBA Fine knowles, they'll make the mistake on those two.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: About fifteen minutes, a fan favorite, Brad Powers, our college

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: football guru, it's not too soon start talking about the

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: upcoming college football season. Midnight Magic, Medina Magic. At Midnight,

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: we'll get into this gambling situation in the NFL. What's

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: going on with the raider check that the Oakland AA

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: is coming to Vegas. It just never ends. Of course,

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 2: later in the show, what kind of brand new fool

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: of you? And what my name? And you know, as

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: they say in Bud Grant, Minnesota, it's gonna be lit.

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: But we begin with by far, the biggest story that

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: hit the airwaves this week. People can't stop talking about it.

23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: There are highly charged opinions. There are sanctimonious people. There

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: are people that have a right to be very upset

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: and hurt. I understand. So as I cover this, I'm

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: going to give you the nuts and bolts. I'm not

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: gonna take sides. There's an old saying a man convinced

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: against his wills are the same opinions still in The

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: irony is when it comes to enjoying the world of sports,

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: which we do. We go to games, watch them on TV,

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: we bet on them. We a lot of us participate

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: into some folks into their later years. Okay, the ideology,

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: we don't have royalty in this country. Our athletes and

34
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: our entertainers. They are our royalty, and frankly, our athletes

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: are our entertainers. So the irony is that we partake

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: in sports to escape temporarily man's in humanity demand. However,

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: this sports story calls into question man's in humanity demand.

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: And you know where I'm going. I'm talking about the

39
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: live PGA merger. I want to take a minute to

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: unpack the live PGA merger. You know, years ago, nineteen

41
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: ninety seven, I was covering the TPC Dearborn and Michigan,

42
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: the Senior Tour, and Lee Trevino, who was not shy,

43
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: got on the tee and the ninth ta or whatever,

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: and somebody was talking in the peanut gallery. There's a quiet.

45
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: There was a big crowd, and Trevino was at address

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: and finally he just stepped away and said, day, shut up.

47
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to work. And this particular patron, he might

48
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: have had a few cream dements, you know, he might

49
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: have been hooked up to a blender. It was one

50
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: of those hot, nice July days, beautiful golf course in Dearborn, Michigan.

51
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: He barked back and he said, hey, Lee, Cecil Fielder

52
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: comes to the plate. Fifty thousand people are screaming. He

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: doesn't say anything. Covina said, well, Cecil can strack out

54
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: four times. He's still getting paid. I gotta earn my pay.

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: That's exactly what Trevino said. So when this whole live

56
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: deal came out, right, fifty four holes instead of seventy two,

57
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: you were just to show up at the tournament. You're

58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: gonna get one hundred grand. The purses were big. It

59
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: solved an issue that I think is a challenge for

60
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: a lot of professional golfers, and that is not only

61
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: to be successful to make money. And of course the

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: PGA got away with not paying golfers unless they earned

63
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: it or won because they claimed they were a nonprofit organization. Well,

64
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: they were a non profit organization, okay, past week they

65
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: e merged. Simply, put let's readuces to its simple common denominator.

66
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: They needed the money. Desperate people do desperate things, and

67
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: I think desperate might be the operative word here. It

68
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: came out earlier today from the commission or the PGA

69
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: Commissioner J Monaghan that the PGA had already, you know,

70
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: spent fifty million dollars in legal fees and they tapped

71
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: into the tune of about one hundred million dollars in

72
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: their reserves. And what were they getting back for that?

73
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: So desperate people can do desperate things. The live was

74
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: desperate for eyeballs. They want legitimacy, they want a legitimate

75
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: TV contract, They want an audience, they want a bona

76
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: fide TV audience. The PGA clearly in need of money,

77
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: they admitted it. Hence the marriage. This is what you

78
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: call a true quid pro quo. And just like that,

79
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: these two headstrong organizations, well they've now stopped pissing on

80
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: each other's shoes while they were burning millions dollars. But

81
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: make no mistake, the Lift Tour could have gotten away

82
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: with it. They were worth about six hundred billion dollars,

83
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: maybe up to a trillion, right, And this was an

84
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: emotional decision, I'm sure, but that's how things work in life.

85
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: People make decisions based on emotion and they justify it

86
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: later with logic. Trust me, you offered that job, you're

87
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: not sure what to do, you think about it, you

88
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: analyze it, you make the decision on emotion, you justify

89
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 2: it with logic. If you don't believe that's the case,

90
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: then they wouldn't sell three cars a year in this country.

91
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: So now the bottom line, the key points the PGA.

92
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: They agree to merge with their rival LIV which is

93
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: backed by the Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: The PITH, controlled by the Saudi Crown prints and the

95
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: merger comes as they have been embroiled in lawsuits. But

96
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: now the deal ends all pending litigation, which I'm sure,

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: some folks who are breathing inside relief right they have

98
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: spent The PGA have spent the better half of a

99
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: year doing everything in their power to distance themselves from Live.

100
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: They were their rival circuit. They signed away some of

101
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: the best players that were again funded by the PIFF, lawsuits,

102
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: file players banned from the tour, sports washing, name calling,

103
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: blood money. These are all common phrases mentioned by every

104
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: sports outlet in the world. Because people took real sides

105
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: on this one, the perceived notion was that the PGA

106
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: Tour and Live would never come close to working with

107
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: one another. Many assumed they'd remain separate entities. They would

108
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: deal with their battles in a court room, and some

109
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: folks stop. Maybe the size would just take their money elsewhere,

110
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: and maybe the Live would dissolve. I never believed that.

111
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: I thought they would merge, But in reality, no one

112
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: saw this coming this past week. Fans, media members, nobody.

113
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: This is sort of a shocking new reality. And so

114
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: who are the winners here? Well, they're both both the

115
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: Live and the PGA are going to be fit tremendously.

116
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: It may seem like a cop out answer, but I

117
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: think it happens to be the right answer. The PGA,

118
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: I believe my humble opinion, they were beginning to struggle financially.

119
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: They had some deep pockets, but those pockets weren't limitless.

120
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: The same cannot be said for PIFF and Live Golf.

121
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: They have more money than anything. Their limit did not exist.

122
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: They could take this as far as they want. Right So,

123
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: no matter how you feel about Greg Norman, how you

124
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 2: feel about j Mo Monahan, I think they're probably feeling

125
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: pretty good about themselves. I'm guessing because they found a solution.

126
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: And frankly, if you take politics out of the equation,

127
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: and there's absolutely no question this is probably a win

128
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: win for golf fans around the world, and it's dominating

129
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: the headlines. I bet you didn't even know that the

130
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: US opened descends upon Los Angeles next Thursday, a major

131
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: and yet we're talking about this. But the golf world's

132
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: been divided more than ever. It's because some of the

133
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: players decided to go cash in on Payday's other stuff tradition.

134
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: You know, we heard all the speeches. I get it. Rory,

135
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: you're a sacrificial lumb He's a sacrificial lump. Well, you

136
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: made your choice. Okay, you want a grand stand. Now,

137
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: you want a medal or a chest to pend it on?

138
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: What do you want? You're an honorable man, I get it.

139
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: I'm not making fun of you. But don't play the victim.

140
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: Now.

141
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: Some of the golfers took money. I don't know. I

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: don't know if I could have. I just don't. I

143
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: like to sleep at night. I want people like me.

144
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could have, but I'm not.

145
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: I'm not judging anybody else. See, the thing is, the

146
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is about ninety nine percent of

147
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: us have a price. I mean, I'm not saying to

148
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: break the law, but the reality of it is, you

149
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: got a price, and you don't know what the hell

150
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: you would do unless somebody dang truly dangled that kind

151
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: of money in front of you. You heard the old

152
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: joke about the guy who walks into the bar, walks

153
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: up to the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, says,

154
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: would you go to bed with me for a million dollars?

155

00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,120

200
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: are you excellent?

201
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 6: Bernie? Thanks for having me on this wonderful Saturday night.

202
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: Good to have you. I've really been looking forward to

203
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: this because ESPN recently published their first preseason poll, and

204
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: i'd like to have you grade it, and I'll start.

205
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: The reason I want to start with Georgia, Brad is

206
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: they have Georgia third and I don't know if Carson

207
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: Beck can replace Stetson Bennett, but they're gonna have a

208
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: load of offense. Here's where I'm going with this. Could

209
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: they three peat? Because when you look at their schedule,

210
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: they're going to be favored, probably by a touchdown against

211
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: everybody until they get to Kneeland Stadium later in the year.

212
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: Could Georgia three pat Well.

213
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 6: I think that they're pretty much the overwhelmed, overwhelming thing

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 6: favorite two to three p And keep in mind we

215
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 6: haven't had a three peat winner in college football since

216
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 6: prior to the eight hole back in the nineteen thirties.

217
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 6: Minnesota was the last time that we had a three

218
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 6: pat winner in Right now, as far as the power

219
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 6: rating goes, george is going to enter the season number one.

220
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 6: They have the shortest odds as far as future prices

221
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 6: to win the national championship, not only because of what

222
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 6: they have bringing back and I know they don't have

223
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 6: their quarterback Sets and Bennet back. But I'm here to

224
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 6: tell you Carson Beck is going to be just as

225
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 6: good in my opinion as Sets and Bennett. He's more

226
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 6: of an NFL caliber player at that position than what

227
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 6: Sets and Bennett was. But I'm alsome. You mentioned it's

228
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: the key factor and why George is going to be

229
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: the favorite is that schedule that on average, Ernie, they're

230
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 6: going to be about a four touchdown favorite in their

231
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 6: twelve games this year. There's only one game where they'll

232
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 6: be a single digit favorite, and you mentioned that it's

233
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 6: on the road and Kneel and statumangains Tennessee, and right now,

234
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 6: they're going to be at least a touchdown favorite in

235
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 6: that game.

236
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: Even this is why we have Brad Powers on set

237
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: the record straight. His Power ratings are par excellence. So

238
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: let's continue to sort of juxtables. Is because his particular

239
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: poll actually had Ohio State number one based on their

240
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: FBI projection that they're thirty one points better than all

241
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: their opponents. Your thoughts on Ohio State this year, Oh well,

242
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they're too far off the

243
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: beaten path there, obviously.

244
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 6: I just kept done saying that I think Georgia should

245
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 6: be the overhall on the number one, but I mean

246
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: Ohio State would be in that three to fourteen mix

247
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 6: as far as the best team in the country. Here's

248
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 6: what I got a couple of questions. Marks of Ohio State. Man,

249
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 6: the stars were the most important position on the field,

250
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 6: the quarterback position. I mean, they've had really elite quarterback

251
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 6: play last four or five years. I'm not sure they're

252
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 6: going to get that kind of quarterback play this year

253
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 6: from that position. I certainly didn't like what I saw

254
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 6: coming out of their spring game. And on top of that,

255
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 6: on offense, I thought they had a weakness offso on

256
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 6: the offensive line, if you don't believe me, they had

257
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 6: to go out and get a couple of transfers Coast

258
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 6: Spring from the group of five. So quarterback an offensive

259
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 6: line not as where it needs to be, And that's

260
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 6: not good news when you're you know, at that in

261
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 6: those two positions when you got to go to an

262
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 6: arbor this year, a Michigan team that's beating them each

263
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 6: in the last couple of years. So right now, Michigan

264
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 6: the favorite in the Big Ten, not Ohio State.

265
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: And of course Ohio State also has to play at

266
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and at Wisconsin before heading to Michigan. Could

267
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: you envision them going three and in those three games.

268
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 6: No, I think they trip up in one of those spots.

269
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 6: I just don't see them running the table and going

270
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 6: twelve and oh they're win pulls ten and a half.

271
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 6: I certainly haven't bet the over there, but but I'm

272
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: not running the window to bet the under. I mean,

273
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 6: we still got to respect Ohio State and for everyone

274
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 6: that's down on what they've done against Michigan last up years,

275
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 6: they still, you know, when they play their a game,

276
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 6: they're as good as anybody in the country. Don't believe me.

277
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 7: Ask Georgia and what.

278
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 6: You know, a game that they usually could have won

279
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 6: last year.

280
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: That's right. Talking with college football guru Brad Powers. Follow

281
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: him on Twitter at Brad Powers seven. I thought Brian

282
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: Kelly was very respectable his first year. He's getting a

283
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: lot of respect in these rankings as well. Got a

284
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: bunch of transfers and they got the quarterback. Jaden Daniels

285
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: returning your thoughts on LSU in a very crowded SEC.

286
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're legit and I'm not sure that

287
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 6: they were, you know, really legit last year. I think

288
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 6: they obviously had a couple of fortunate wins, the most

289
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 6: notable one being that, you know, at the final play

290
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 6: against Alabama to go for two and get that win

291
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: there at home. But I mean, as far as the

292
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 6: power rating goes, this is a top five, top six

293
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 6: team in the country. And you know, the problem with

294
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: them is not necessarily personnel driven. I like Jane Daniel

295
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 6: as a quarterback. I think they're much better up front

296
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 6: on the offensive line. Keep in mind they had to

297
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: start a pair of freshman tackles last year on the

298
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 6: offensive line. It's mainly scheduling starts of that week one

299
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: game against Florida State is an incredible matchup. Elisu's a

300
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 6: short favorite, but that's kind of a fifty to fifty

301
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 6: game to start, and then they have to go too

302
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 6: tough Galoose. Some play at Alabama this year, so that

303
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 6: might be the only hang up for the Tigers this year.

304
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: All Right, I want to talk about Texas. Steve Sarkisian

305
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: is thirteen and twelve in his tenure. He loses b

306
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: John Robinson, but they do have plenty of athletes around

307
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: the lot. What do you expect out of Texas this year?

308
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: According to this pool, their ranked fifth.

309
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 6: Well, I mean that's a little high, I mean exactly

310
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 6: considering we haven't seen Texas live up to those types

311
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 6: of expectations. I mean it's going on, you know, almost

312
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 6: fifteen years now since Colt McCoy and Vince Young are

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 6: playing under center for them. But I'm here to tell

314
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 6: you watching their spring game, looking at their personnel, looking

315
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 6: at their recruiting, now that it's here three hundreds start,

316
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 6: I think, at the very least is going to be

317
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: one of the best offenses in the country. I think

318
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 6: when Newer settles in as the second year as a starter,

319
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 6: offensive line is much more experience, they'll be fine. Even

320
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 6: losing Jon and running back then. I think they're much

321
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 6: better at the wide receiver position. The question is, you know,

322
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 6: is their defense good enough for them to not only

323
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 6: make a run at the Big twelve, but maybe a

324
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 6: player out run that we haven't seen.

325
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 5: I think it is.

326
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 6: You know, right now, Texas is going to be favored

327
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 6: in eleven in their twelve games. The only underdog role

328
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 6: is Week two at Alabama, and that's a game they

329
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 6: easily could have won last year. And that was a

330
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 6: game that quinn Ewers.

331
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 2: Got hurt early.

332
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 6: If he doesn't get hurt, Texas might have beat Alabama

333
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 6: last year.

334
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: Brad A question I meant to ask you while I

335
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: brought up Alabama. Do my eyes deceive me? Or is

336
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: professional money coming in on their season win total under

337
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: ten and a half? Am? I am? I right there

338
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: in observing that.

339
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a rarity. In fact, I mean I'm part

340
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 6: of it. It's not one of my favorite bets that

341
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 6: I made so far, but I have certainly made a

342
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 6: win total under bet on Alabama under ten and a half.

343
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 6: So I think it's you know, don't ask me what

344
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 6: are the two games they're gonna lose, But I mean

345
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: there's enough of possibilities out there, whether it's Texas in

346
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 6: Week two that I already mentioned, whether it's against the

347
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 6: good LSU teams, whether it's on the road in College

348
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 6: Station against Texas A and M. What we're seeing is this, look,

349
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 6: Alabama lost a couple of games last year, and I

350
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 6: know people are going to say, well, they lost on

351
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 6: the last play on the road against Tennessee and against

352
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 6: LSU they easially could have ran the table. Well, they

353
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 6: also had a bunch of close wins too.

354
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: Texas.

355
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 6: I mentioned last great Texas A and M. On the

356
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 6: final play they prevented A and M from scoring, and

357
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 6: that was with the number one pick in the drafted

358
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 6: quarterback in Bryce Young. Alabama doesn't have the number one

359
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 6: pick in the drafted quarterback this year.

360
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: In fact, they.

361
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 6: Didn't like what they saw on the spring. They went

362
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: out and got Notre Dames quarterback backup quarterback now their

363
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: start or their backup Tyler Buckner. So yeah, for the

364
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 6: first time in fifteen years, not buying Alabama at this

365
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 6: point in the season.

366
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Michigan quickly. They bring back JJ McCarthy,

367
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: Blake Rum, Donovan Edwards. They've got a ridiculously easy non

368
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: conference schedule. They are home against Ohio State. Where do

369
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: you parr rank them amongst the big boys.

370
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 6: I mean, they're right there too, three, you know, neck

371
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 6: and neck with the buck guys. But again, them having

372
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 6: Ohio State at home kind of gives them the trump

373
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 6: card there where I'm gonna have Michigan a slight favorite

374
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 6: in that game against Ohio fate, and that's pretty that's

375
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 6: a rarity. They've only been favored twice in the last

376
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: twenty years against the buck guys. So you know, on

377
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 6: top of that, they're even gonna be a short favorite

378
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 6: at Penn State.

379
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 7: So add all that up.

380
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 6: I mean those by farther too toughest games. The Michigan's

381
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 6: gonna be a favorite in their remaining ten games by

382
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 6: at least two touchdowns. J. J. McCarthy's back. They got

383
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 6: a great one to two punch in the backfield, and

384
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 6: Corum and Edwards they're running back. If I have a

385
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 6: question mark, it might be a wide receiver. I'm not

386
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 6: sure they got an elite guy there, but they're gonna

387
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 6: be really good. The Lion scrimmage is always on the

388
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 6: offensive defensive line. Then you know, for the first time

389
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 6: in forever, Michigan deserves to be the preseason favorite in

390
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 6: the Big Ten. And I think I would not be stunned.

391
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 6: They're making a third straight trip to the playoffs this year.

392
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: Brad one team that I think is actually flying under

393
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: the radar, And this seems ironic, even though the last

394
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: couple of years they didn't make the playoff. I'm talking

395
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: about Clemson sort of under the radar. Dabos Sweeney hires

396
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: Garrett Riley. He's a former play caller at TCU to

397
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: develop Kate Klubnick. I think that's a great addition. I

398
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: think Clemson could make some noise your thoughts.

399
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, why are they flying under the radar?

400
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 6: It's you know, last couple of seasons. I think a

401
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 6: lot of the schools would sign up for twenty one

402
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 6: and six, but that clemson't considering what they did previously.

403
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 6: I mean, that's been a disappointment, losing three games each

404
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 6: last couple of years. I think they got rid of

405
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 6: the problem, you know, you know, I don't like to

406
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 6: be too critical on kids, but dj Uyunglila wasn't you know,

407
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 6: they just wasn't working out. And they also got a

408
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 6: new offensive corner you mentioned Garrett Riley. That's probably one

409
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 6: of the best coordinator hires in all of college football

410
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 6: and clubnick going from a freshman the sophomore is going

411
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 6: to be much better. So because of an improved Clemson offense.

412
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 6: You look at their schedule, key games against Notre Dame

413
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 6: and Forrest State, both at home, but they've only lost

414
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: one time by one point in the last six years

415
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 6: in all their home games. Clemson's gonna be favored in

416
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 6: all twelve regular season games this year.

417
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 2: Brad, let's talk about USC. What does Lincoln Riley do

418
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: for an encore? Obviously he lost a lot of wide

419
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: receiver talent to lean heavily on Caleb Williams. But did

420
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: he do anything to help his defense.

421
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 7: A little bit?

422
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: Obviously they hit the portal.

423
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: They got a good Oklahoma State transfer linebacker. I really

424
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 6: liked what they did on the defensive line. Pre spring

425
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 6: they went out and got Anthony Lucas from Texas A

426
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 6: and M. And then post spring they thought they still

427
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 6: needed help on the defensive line and they got Bear Alexander,

428
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 6: a big defensive tackle from Georgia. So transfer portal very

429
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 6: kind to USC in that regard. And look, they can't

430
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 6: get much worse on the defensive side of the ball,

431
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 6: so they will be improved. Their offense I think could

432
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 6: be the best, very best thing in all of college football.

433
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 7: Are they still up.

434
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 6: To par within Ohio State and Michigan and obviously at

435
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 6: Georgia or even in Alabama. No, but I do think

436
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 6: they need to be the preseason favorites in the Pac twelve,

437
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 6: and it's another advantageous schedule whe they'll be at least

438
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 6: favored and ten of their games. The only question marks

439
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 6: will be road trips to South End and Notre Dame

440
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 6: and then add Oregon.

441
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: Brad, is there a surprise team? I'm forgetting Florida State,

442
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: Penn State, Tennessee, Oregon. Who jumps at you that we'll

443
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 2: be talking about in November?

444
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 7: Oh wow?

445
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 6: Oh yeah? I look, it's a select club in college football.

446
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 6: Who's going to win a national championship. I think you've

447
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 6: hit a lot of the teams that are in the

448
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 6: preseason top ten of my power ratings, like a Forest

449
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 6: State and of Penn State. It's just that can they

450
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 6: get over the hump? Penn State has to play Ohio

451
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 6: State and Michigan. James Franklin does not perform well against

452
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 6: top ten, top five caliber teams, so that'll prevent them

453
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: in my opinion. Florest State, I got to see it

454
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 6: to believe it.

455
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 7: They made a.

456
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 6: Great run last year to get the ten wins. But

457
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 6: we'll know right away with them. They play LSU in

458
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 6: Week one and at the top five game in all

459
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 6: of college football this entire season, and then they got

460
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 6: to go to Clemson. So not buying either one of

461
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 6: those teams as far as making the playoffs, but I

462
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 6: think they're double digit win tight caliber teams.

463
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: Wrapping it up with Brad Power's college football guru following

464
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: him with Brad Power seven on Twitter. Brad, I can't

465
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: exit this conversation without at least referencing Dion Sanders in Colorado.

466
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: What's their win total now? Is at four? Correct? Me?

467
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: And what do you think what happens with this team

468
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: this year?

469
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 6: It's three and a half. There were some exuberant sports

470
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: books that open barriers really in the process as high

471
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 6: as five and a half. So I mean, if you

472
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 6: do your third grade math, it was five and a half.

473
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 6: Now it's doun at three and a half. Guys like

474
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 6: myself are betting against Colorado and it's really nothing like

475
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 6: personal against Deanna. Their question is coaching chops. It's more,

476
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 6: we've never seen a roster turn over completely in one

477
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 6: entire offseason. And then it's the fact that Colorado last

478
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 6: year with not only the worst Power five team last year,

479
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: they were historically bad. And my power ring is going

480
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 6: back ten plus years, they were the worst Power five

481
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 6: team I've ever power rated. So I got Conrad was

482
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 6: one of the most improved teams in the country, but

483
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 6: I still only think there are three and nine and

484
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 6: eight team at best this year.

485
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: And they're a prohibitive underdog, and they're opening game at TCU,

486
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: and TCU lost a lot of talent that might be

487
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: very revealing. So Brad, before I let you run, you

488
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: do something really cool. You take a college football tour

489
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: of stadiums. And unfortunately I live half my life in

490
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: Pac twelve country, I've seen all them, and the other

491
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: half in Big ten countries saw all of them. And

492
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: thanks to your recommendation that took a visit to Tusca,

493
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Lucid went to the Shrine a couple of months ago.

494
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: Tell the folks real quickly some of the stadiums you

495
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 2: plan to visit in your summer sojourn again this year.

496
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, about a month from now, I'm going to try

497
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 6: to do twenty four different stadiums in four days. It's

498
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 6: going to be in the Carolinas, in the Virginias, and

499
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 6: I'm also going to go see you places like you know,

500
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 6: Georgia and Clemson. It's all nestled in there, you know,

501
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 6: not too far away from one another. But I'm gonna

502
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 6: to tell you maybe the one I'm most anticipating just

503
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 6: because of the backdrop is Boone, North Carolina where apple

504
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 6: Achal State is right there in the foothill. Yes, of

505
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 6: the Smoky Mountains.

506
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: I think that is a very beautiful part of the country.

507
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, I pat myself on the back. I covered

508
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: it September one, two thousand and seven, when Appalachian State

509
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: beat Michigan in Michigan. I was there anyway, Brad, great

510
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: to have you. It'll be a great upcoming season. Nobody

511
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: better and I appreciate everything you do and we'll get

512
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: you on later in the year. Enjoy the rest of

513
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: your summer. I know how hard you work.

514
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for having me. Bernie.

515
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: That is Brad Powers college football guru. Follow him at

516
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: Brad Powers seven. Trust me, he is heavily in demand,

517
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: very popular here in Las Vegas. Does his homework like

518
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: nobody's business, and he's a wealth of information coming up.

519
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: What if I told you that when the Golden Knights,

520
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: the Vegas Golden Knights score three goals in their play

521
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: off tenure in their six year history in the National

522
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: Hockey League, they are forty seven and three, then you

523
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: would tell me they're one game away from winning the

524
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup. We'll talk about it coming up, But first

525
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: let's go to a guy Kevin wired with the.

526
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 8: Latest Well, Bernie, I can only imagine how excited on

527
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 8: the edge of their seat.

528
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: Everyone is over there in Vegas right now.

529
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 9: Liveheart shots plucked, white cloud stick breaks centering pass kicked

530
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 9: away by Carlson five seconds to the right. A shot

531
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 9: clocks by McNab right bound, is loose, push to.

532
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: The corner and time runs out. Their game is over.

533
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 8: The night Survive Vegas beats the Florida Panthers three to two,

534
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 8: holding up a late flury of shots from the Panthers

535
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 8: to win it. They take a commanding three to one

536
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 8: series lead with a potentially clinching Game five set for

537
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 8: Tuesday evening in Las Vegas, and that means the Stanley

538
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 8: Cup will be in the house. In the NBA, the

539
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 8: Toronto Raptors new head coach will be dark Overzakovich. He's

540
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 8: been an NBA assistant for the past ninety years, most

541
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 8: recently with the Memphis Grizzlies. NBA Finals Game five will

542
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 8: be Monday night at Denver. Nuggets ahead in the series

543
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 8: three games to one, French open egusviat Tik wins it

544
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 8: for the third time in the last four years. And

545
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 8: in soccer, it's Manchester City beating Inter Milan one nil

546
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 8: to claim the Champions League Final at the Canadian Open

547
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 8: Royal McElroy two shots behind c Jay Pan for the lead.

548
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 8: Belmont Stakes. Arcangelo wins it and the horse was trained

549
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 8: by Jenna Antonucci, the first female trainer ever to win

550
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 8: a Triple Crown race. The Oakland Athletics, a team that

551
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 8: was on record, were on pace at least to lose

552
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 8: a record amount of games. They've won four in a

553
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 8: row now they're now sixteen to thirty. They won a

554
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 8: ten inning game against the Milwaukee Brewers four to three.

555
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 8: Orioles beat the Royals six to one. As Kansas City

556
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 8: has lost five in a row. First place Arizona Diamondbacks

557
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 8: they beat the Tigers five nothing. The Colorad Rockies have

558
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 8: lost six in a row. They lose to the Paws

559
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 8: three to two. Texas Rangers. They in the race seven

560
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 8: game winning streak can eight four win The Chicago Cubs

561
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 8: had starter Kyle Hendricks. He had a no hitter at

562
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 8: San Francisco until two outs in the eighth inning when

563
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 8: he allowed a double off the wall. Chicago defeated the

564
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 8: Giants anyway, However, Ford to nothing, the Yankees beat their

565
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 8: arch rival the Red Sox three to one. Number two

566
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 8: ranked Florida advances to the College World Series, eliminating South Carolina.

567
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 8: TCU advance eliminating Indiana State. Texas scored five times of

568
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 8: the ninth to win its opener at Stanford seven to five.

569
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: Back of you, Bernie, all.

570
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: Right, thanks so much, Kevin so Yes, Tuesday, the Vegas

571
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: goold Anights are heading back to Sin City here with

572
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: a chance to clinch the first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

573
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: And I say history in quotes six years ago this month,

574
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: June of twenty seventeen, they even played their first game yet.

575
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: And it's been an incredible success story. Their owner Bill

576
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: Foley said it will get to the playoffs within three years,

577
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: win a Stanley Cup within six. This is their sixth year. Now,

578
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 2: we all know that teams that start out with a

579
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: two to zero lead in a series or thirty one

580
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: and three. Now I covered one of those threes back

581
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine when the Pittsburgh Penguins fell

582
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: behind two zip to Detroit, and the next thing you know,

583
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: Game seven in Detroit and Pittsburgh shocked the city of

584
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: Detroit behind the goalie you may have heard of, Marc

585
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: Andre Fleury. Two years later, the Boston Bruins trailed Vancouver

586
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: two zip. They came back and won it in seven,

587
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: and Vancouver promptly burned down the city with some of

588
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: the craziest visuals you will ever see. Teams that get

589
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: up three to one, they're like forty and three. And

590
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: by the way, look for the Vegas Knights, Golden Knights,

591
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: to get that third goal, because once they get that

592
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: third goal, they are forty seven and three in their

593
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: history in the Stanley Cup playoffs and if they win

594
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: this thing. My vote for the consmth is clearly Aiden Hill,

595
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: who stepped in did an incredible job. I don't want

596
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: to overshadow what Jonathan Marciaso did. I wouldn't give it

597
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: to Jack Eigel. He's been very good. He's been very

598
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: good as a complimentary player. I don't think he scored

599
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: a goal in twelve games. I think he got to

600
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: score goals. And look, the con smyth is highly subjective

601
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: and it's a trophy for the most valuable player for

602
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: the entire playoffs, but we all know it's heavily weighted

603
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: toward the Stanley Cuff Finals, and you know, I think

604
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: it's about fifty percent toward the Stanley Cup Finals. And

605
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: Aiden Hills did everything has been, everything is advertised, and

606
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: it's what an incredible story. Knights pick him up earlier

607
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: in the year, San Jose trades him for a you know,

608
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: fourth round draft choice, something along those lines. And there's

609
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: an old saying when it comes to selecting the con smyth,

610
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: if you're in doubt, go with a goalie, because a

611
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: goalie is very important in playoff hockey. Matter of fact,

612
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: Sergey Bobrovski, he has been sensational, I think, other than

613
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: the one game or the Panthers, and had it not

614
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: been for him, this series might already be over. But

615
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: be that as it may, the Golden Knights are for real.

616
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: And when you watched the game Saturday night, all right,

617
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: the first two periods were all Vegas and Florida needed

618
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: some big time help to get back in the game.

619
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: The hockey guys kind of gave it to them late

620
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: in the second period when Brandon montor shot kicked off

621
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: two Golden Knights and carry him into the net. That's

622
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: called a bouncing puck that gave Florida some life. Then

623
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: the next thing you know, Alexander Barkov scored early in

624
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: the third period and Florida Live Arena finally sort of

625
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: came alive. They ate over nineteen thousand people there. But

626
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: fortunately for the Golden Knights, that was as close as

627
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: Florida would get. Florida threw everything literally and the kitchen

628
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: sink at Aighton Hill in the third period, but they

629
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: could not get that game tying goal. As he has

630
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: done all series, including that incredible paddle save in Game one,

631
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: Hill made one huge save after another that kept the

632
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: Golden Knights ahead, and he had a brilliant pat save

633
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: on Matthew Kachuk with one second remaining. It was very chaotic,

634
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: but they're on a plane back to Las Vegas. Vegas

635
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: has a three to one lead and the Panthers have

636
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: They've already come back for one three to one deficit

637
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: earlier and playoffs against Boston, but I think trying to

638
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: do that again in this against this Gold and Knights

639
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: team will be a much different task. I feel like,

640
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, and I've covered a lot of

641
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup teams, I covered three Detroit rud wing championship

642
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: teams and one that lost in ninety five to New Jersey.

643
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: With all the respect to Florida, and they almost didn't

644
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: even make the playoffs. It's been an incredible run for them.

645
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: I feel like they're out of gas, but you don't.

646
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup is a very odd animal, so don't

647
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: count your chickens yet. Look, Chandler Stevenson bounced back. You know,

648
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: had a great game. I thought tonight he redeemed himself.

649
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: Just two minutes into the game, the Panthers took a

650
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: bad line change and what happened, Stevenson took advantage of it.

651
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: He broke in on Sergei Bobrowski untouched and he got

652
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Brabovski going side to side. He tucked the puck in

653
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: the five hole. That was a heck of a goal

654
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: in a minute thirty nine into the game. That seemed

655
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: to really set the tone. And then in the second

656
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: period Stevenson struck again. He took a beautiful feed from

657
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: Mark Stone put the shot off the post right into

658
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: the back of the net. The gold Knights dominated, and

659
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: when Stevenson was on the ice five on five, the

660
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: Knights dominated. They controlled seventy four percent of the scoring

661
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: chances and it was really a great bounce back performance

662
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: from Chandler Stevenson and he put the team up again

663
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: three to one in the series. Back to Aiden Hill,

664
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: because anybody who's been waiting on Aiden Hill to maybe

665
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: have a clunker, some people said that or hit a

666
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: wall in the playoffs, Well you might be waiting a while.

667
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: He played another spectacular game on Saturday, and Hill has

668
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: the Golden Knights one went away from the Cup. He

669
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: stopped twenty nine to thirty one shots tonight, allowed just

670
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: two goals on what you would call two point four

671
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: eight expected goals against. And he has absolutely frustrated Florida

672
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: for most of the series. And I would say Matthew

673
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 2: Kuchuk has been a guy who's been robbed multiple times.

674
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: He's gonna have Aiden Hill and his nightmares for a

675
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: long time. And right it right out of the gate,

676
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: Hill made an excellent save in the first period when

677
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: Kachuck dug the puck out of a pile. He was

678
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: in the slot, he had a clean look at the net.

679
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: It wasn't i would say, his greatest stop of the night,

680
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: but it was a timely one and as time expired

681
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: in the third period, again Ku Chuck got the puck

682
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: in the slot. He'll was down and out, he was

683
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: still able to get a pat on it keep it

684
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: out of the net. So there you have it. It's

685
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: it's unreal to think this is happening, but the Golden

686
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: Knights have earned it, slowly but surely. The one thing

687
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: I would say that will define this organization is whenever

688
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: they had a need, they found a way to fill it,

689
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: every single god time, sometimes from the most unlikely places.

690
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: Tuesday Night can't get here soon enough? What a story

691
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: Vegas Golden Knights coming up. Let's not forget the Denver

692
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: Nuggets either. Wasn't that long ago they were seventeen and

693
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: sixty five their one went away from bringing a championship

694
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: to Denver. I'm Bernie Frattle, comedy Lion from the Las

Speaker 2: including Chris Paul and James Harden and Caroli Irving and

708
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: oh yeah, by the way, we've got Game five Monday night,

709
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: Denver back home against the Miami Heat. Denver currently a

710
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 2: nine point favorite to win the series minus five thousand,

711
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: which means if you want to win one hundred bucks,

712
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: you put up five thousand on Denver, and if they

713
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: win it, you want a hundred bucks coming back. If

714
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: you're feeling saucy, if you think the Heat can come back,

715
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars for bringing back two grand. The reason

716
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: this story is so cool is because I got to

717
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: get Chad Anderson back on in a couple of weeks.

718
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: I think it's great. No one really saw Denver come

719
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: and I loved them getting out of the West. It

720
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: wasn't really that too terribly long ago that the Denver

721
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: Nuggets were seventeen and sixty five, and when it came

722
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 2: time for fans to vote for who their favorite nugget

723
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: was the winner. Wait for it, Rocky the Mascot can't

724
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 2: make this stuff up, folks, Rocky the Mascot. Did you

725
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: just know someone's gonna diminish the Nuggets? Oh? Yeah, but

726
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: they beat three playing teams, which I guess is technically true,

727
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: but didn't didn't Miami beat both Boston Milwaukee or I

728
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 2: don't don't. Let's not even go down that road, because

729
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: these poor guys, even if all they get are backheaded compliments. Well,

730
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: Joki he's really good, yeah you think, but he's still

731
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 2: an athletic. What would you rather have results or athletic

732
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: you want to? You know, birds can fly too, but

733
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: they can't play basketball. You know, maybe they trade for

734
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 2: Derrick Jones junior, maybe the most most athletic guy in

735
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: the National Basketball Association. He can run, fast, jump, hie

736
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: and do crazy things. I think he's better than Yoki.

737
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 2: You know where I'm going with that? All right, Denver

738
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: has been a hell of the story. So what's gonna

739
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: happen Monday night? I think Denver quite honestly will beat

740
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: Miami by double digits. There's a reason the Nuggets are

741
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: heavily favored. There's a reason they were favored to beat

742
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: the Heat. There's a reason they've been favored in every game.

743
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 2: And it's not a sign of disrespect to Miami because

744
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: Miami has made an all time run through the Eastern Conference.

745
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: Denver is simply a way more talented team and haven't

746
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: necessarily played their best. And I think whether he's tired

747
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: of being affected by the ankle that he's sprained in

748
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: the second round. Jimmy Butler hasn't been the same killer

749
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: that he was earlier in the playoffs. Yeah, he's averaged

750
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: twenty one points a game, but he had ninety eight

751
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: in the final two game against the Bucks and bam Adebayo.

752
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: He can't put the heat on their bat. Tip of

753
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: the cat to Miami top respect, Denver wins a boy

754
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: double digits. I think you're gonna see Yokick and Jamal

755
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: Murray go off. They're gonna see real numbers. They might

756
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 2: combine for seventy points, they might combine for twenty five assists.

757
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: You're gonna see big, big name, big game. I don't

758
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: know started with a cute saying, and I didn't finish it.

759
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna see a big game out of both of

760
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: those guys. Jamal Murray is the first player in league

761
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: history to have at least ten assists in each of

762
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: his first four NBA Finals games. None only that, he's

763
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: averaged twenty three points a game, and he's made a

764
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: lot of key shots. Michael Porter Junior hasn't particularly played well,

765
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: but doesn't matter. This team is loaded. This team is deep. Finally,

766
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: Denver's defense better than you realize. I think Miami's going

767
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: to have difficulties scoring ninety points in Game five. I

768
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: think they'll score less than ninety points now. The Nuggets

769
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: have already held the Heat to ninety three, ninety four,

770
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: and ninety five points respectively in their three wins. But

771
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: Denver's defense is getting stronger as his series moves along.

772
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 2: In Game four, Miami didn't get as many open looks

773
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: from three point range as he did earlier in the series.

774
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: And frankly, although it's been a great story, their undrafted

775
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 2: players are coming back to Earth. Kayla Martin has crashed

776
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: back to Earth. Max Truths has scored three points and

777
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: I know. Look, the bottom line is this great story

778
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: for Miami, better won for Denver. They wrap it up

779
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: Monday night. I think they win. I think they cover.

780
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets. You earn, But I'm just

781

791
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: to be crowned, the draft coming up. No better time

792

Speaker 2: than now. Yep, it's that time. Every Saturday, Bert Medina,

794
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: Mark this week is no different. How you doing, buddy, Bernie?

795
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 7: With you? And where we begin? There's just so much

796
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 7: to think our teeth in.

797
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I thought I might begin with the heat

798
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: and the finals. Somewhat overshadowed by their season is the

799
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: fact that in order to get over the hump, they

800
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: might have to go big name hunting, big game hunting

801
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: this summer. Do you give any credence to the fact

802
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: they might make a run at Dame Lillard And do

803
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 2: they have the capitol and can they make it work

804
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 2: salary wise?

805
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 7: I woult to rule out that the Miami he would

806
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 7: go big game hunting. I mean, they landed the biggest

807
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 7: fish a decade ago with dating Lebron James and Chris

808
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 7: Bosh on board. But I don't think Damian Lillard's going

809
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 7: anywhere in Portland. I mean, they've reiterated time and time again,

810
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 7: and clearly the drum isn't loud enough that Portland has

811
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 7: no interest in trading Damian Loward and Damian Loward has

812
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 7: no interest in leaving Portland. That's not to say that

813
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 7: Damian Loward hasn't been frustrated. Clearly he wants to win

814
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 7: a championship there and he has pleaded every season for

815
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 7: the Trail Blazers top grade the roster and the I think,

816
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 7: in fairness to the Blazers, they have done that. They

817
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 7: do have a number three pick that is kind of

818
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 7: the low hanging fruit with how they improve the team

819
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 7: next season or at least use that asset lean into

820
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 7: the draft as some trade bait. But look good, Damian

821
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 7: Lillard is going to play in Portland for the rest

822
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 7: of his career. Now what do what does Miami do

823
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 7: as a plan b You know, look, there there's always

824
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 7: movement in the NBA. So I can't think of a

825
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 7: specific example, but we all know that there's players that

826
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 7: are trade unexpectedly, things come out of nowhere. And knowing

827
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 7: how pat Riley is, he definitely will be aggressive because

828
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 7: that's just the nature of how he's always run. And

829
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 7: you know with Miami here clearly they hit its max.

830
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 7: It's not, you know, something to be ashamed of. They

831
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 7: were an eighth seed, but you know they're never satisfied

832
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 7: until they won a championship. And to do that, they're

833
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 7: going to have to, you know, upgrade the roster around

834
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 7: Jimmy Butler and Pam Autebayo talker.

835
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: With Mark Medina our Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru. Okay,

836
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: every six seconds, I keep hearing the name Chris Paul.

837
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: Chris Paul is thirty eight years old. I feel like

838
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: he's over the hill, never proving he can stay healthy

839
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. But when you listen to Frank Vogel,

840
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 2: I respect talk about him. I'm gonna have to hire

841
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: Frank Vogel my age, and he makes he makes, He

842
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 2: makes Chris Paul sound like Isaiah Thomas in his prime.

843
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: Do you think at the end of the day, Chris

844
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: Paul stays in Phoenix.

845
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 7: That's a good question. If I had a guess, probably not.

846
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 7: But I think that you know, in fairness, Frank Vogel

847
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 7: isn't speaking out of turn that they haven't waived him.

848
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 7: It was more about having preliminary conversations about that being

849
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 7: a possibility and seeing what they can get and sign

850
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 7: in trade scenarios, or if they can resign him at

851
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 7: a lower level, because you know, not all of his

852
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 7: contract is going to be guaranteed. But where he goes,

853
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 7: I don't think it's going to be the Lakers. You know,

854
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 7: the Lakers I think would certainly be interested, but it

855
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 7: would be a lot of what is because I think

856
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 7: even for all the warts that D'Angel Russell showed the

857
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 7: reality as he's younger, he's healthier, and you know, it

858
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 7: would be one thing of Chris Paul's open with taking

859
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 7: a significantly reduced role, but to be a primary focal

860
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 7: point might be tough, not because they doubt as basketball

861
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 7: skills or doubt as leadership qualities. It's just the fact

862
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 7: that he hasn't been able to be healthy these last

863
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 7: few seasons, even though he's quote unquote doing everything right

864
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 7: with taking care of his body from a training standpoint,

865
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 7: diet standpoint. And the thing it goes about saying every

866
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 7: NBA team they obviously value availability, but particularly with the

867
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 7: Lakers because Lebron James is going to be thirty eight

868
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 7: next season and entering his twenty first season, Anthony Davis's

869
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 7: injury history is what it is. The last thing they

870
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 7: want is to have another player that's going to be

871
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 7: in the trainer's room a lot. So with that, you know,

872
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 7: keep your eyes on san Antonio, keep your eyes on Memphis.

873
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 7: Maybe those are kind of teams that could really value

874
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 7: his veteran presence for a young team. But really it's

875
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 7: all up in the air at this point.

876
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with everything you just said. I at

877
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: the end of the day, this would be so on

878
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: brand for the Lakers to try to get him, though,

879
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: I just I'm a cynic when it comes to them.

880
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 2: Let's talk about another guy who's either going to be

881
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: on the move or not on the move, and that's

882
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: James Harden. I mean, you hear stories about Houston. Maybe

883
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 2: he stays in Philadelphia. Now it's being banned about he

884
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: might James Harden find his way to the Suns. Where

885
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 2: do you think he ends up?

886
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think that he winds up getting to

887
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 7: the Suns. I think that's wishful thinking from James Harden's standpoint.

888
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 7: But the reality is this, I don't know why Phoenix

889
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 7: would take James Harden when they're trying to improve defensively.

890
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 7: He doesn't check that box. Maybe he's a net upgrade

891
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 7: from an availability standpoint over Chris Paul, but he doesn't

892
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 7: help the leadership dynamic whatsoever. And Kevin Durant, Look, they

893
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 7: may have co existed well both in Oklahoma City and Brooklyn,

894
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 7: and maybe Kevin Durant's allowing by gones to be by

895
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 7: gones with James Harden leaving Brooklyn and wanting out, But

896
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 7: you know, I think that that still has a carryover effects,

897
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 7: So I don't think that's going to happen. I think

898
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, Darryl Moury has an

899
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 7: affection for James Harden he's wanting to have a coach

900
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 7: to cater to his talents, and so I think that's

901
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 7: what's going to happen. And it might be real interest

902
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 7: from both sides with Houston and James Harden rena and again,

903
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 7: but doesn't make sense for either side. I mean, James

904
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 7: Harden isn't a leader, He's not a defintive number one player,

905
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 7: and with the Rockets having young players, they might feel

906
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 7: more threatened by his presence than inspired by him because

907
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 7: they were getting their numbers last season. In James Harden's case,

908
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 7: there's a reason why he was kicking and screaming on

909
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 7: his way out because they weren't winning after Darryl Morriy left,

910
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 7: after Mike D'Antoni left, after the gut of the roster.

911
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 7: That upgrade good stuff in the right direction with getting

912
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 7: Emaadoka as head coach from a basketball standpoint, but they

913
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 7: still have a long ways to go as far as

914
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 7: growing as a team. So with that, it just makes

915
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 7: sense for both sides that he stays put in Philly,

916
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 7: sees if he's willing and able to improve from within,

917
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 7: and also see if Nick Nurse's system can make get

918
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 7: more out of him than Doc Rivers could talking.

919
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: With Mark Medina Medina Magic Our NBA Fox Sports Radio Guru.

920
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: All right, let's complete the trifecta and talk about Kyrie Irving.

921
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: I still believe he'll stay in Dallas and Mark Cuban

922
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: will pay him. They'll figure they'll have some meeting in

923
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 2: the mind. But again it's banned out. It's being banned

924
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: out there or banded out there in the ether that

925
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: you know he could be a Laker. Do you give

926
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: any credence to that.

927
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 7: No, he's not going to be a Laker, and Lebron's

928
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 7: not going to be a Maverick. I mean, Lebron is

929
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 7: expected he's going to He's not going to retire. He's

930
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 7: going to come back to the Lakers. And with Kyrie,

931
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 7: that ship has sailed. I mean, the reality is Kyrie

932
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 7: hasn't shown a didn't show a willingness to join the

933
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 7: Lakers on a discount of deal when he opted out

934
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 7: of his contract with Brooklyn before ultimately resigning with them.

935
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 7: And I think in this case, even though the Lakers

936
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 7: really like Kyrie as a basketball player and they maybe

937
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 7: have better infrastructure to absorb him because Lebron James has

938
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 7: history with him and Kyrie has respect for him. Again,

939
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 7: they didn't trade for him before the trade deadline last

940
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 7: season because they didn't want to sacrifice too much of

941
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 7: their depth number one, but number two, they really valued availability,

942
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 7: and when it comes to Kyrie Irving, availability is not

943
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 7: one of his attributes. There's always injuries that pop up,

944
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 7: and there's only some random category on the Kyrie Irving

945
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 7: BINGO card that explains why he's not available in the

946
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 7: lineup beyond injuries. So I would think that that would

947
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 7: be the same thing moving forward next season. Now, in fairness,

948
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 7: Dallas missed the playans torment their roster's flaw to when

949
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 7: he was with the Mavericks, I heard nothing but good

950
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 7: things as far as how he was in the locker room,

951
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 7: how he co existed with Lucas. So I think he

952
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 7: does come back. I just don't think it's going to

953
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 7: be the long term deal that he's hoping for. But

954
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 7: I think that they resign him and then they try

955
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 7: to see what they can do to improve in the

956
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 7: margin so that there's at least depth around Kyrie and

957
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 7: Lucas so they can actually win games.

958
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 2: Mark the draft is around the corner. Any surprises we

959
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: can expect What are your general thoughts about how the

960
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 2: draft will play out and maybe any any trades blowing

961
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 2: in the wind.

962
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's I would expect some activity and talks,

963
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 7: but I think that ultimately the teams are going to

964
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 7: use their draft picks on actual selections. Victor one Minyama,

965
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 7: he's going to be a San Antonio Spur. The Spurs

966
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 7: aren't going to trade that number one pick because they're

967
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 7: not going to get anything in return that's of equal value.

968
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 7: And I think it's going to be Scoot Henderson or

969
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 7: Blake Miller number two or number three. So you know,

970
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 7: with Scoot, the the mL on him is that he

971
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 7: really played well uh as as a as a guard

972
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 7: with the G League Ignite team. He has some weaknesses

973
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 7: with his shooting, but they a lot of people think

974
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 7: that he'll eventually correct that. Everything else, speed, athleticism, uh,

975
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 7: ability to get easy basket, to attack the rim, they're

976
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 7: all there, and his work ethic is great. Excuse me,

977
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 7: Brad Miller with with Alabama that he is seen as

978
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 7: a player that you know, went through the traditional ranks

979
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 7: in college basketball and has, you know, really all the

980
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 7: refined skills on both ends of the floor. That can

981
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 7: do wonder, So you know, you just kind of flip

982
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 7: your coin two or three at either of those players.

983
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 7: So I think what the surprises will be more might

984
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 7: be more later in the draft, but that's all, you know,

985
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 7: subject to change. I think the top three headliners they're

986
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 7: going to land where you expect.

987
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 2: Mark. I want to circle back digress for just a second,

988
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 2: and something we glossed over. I'm glad you mentioned it

989
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: because I want to just dive into it a little bit.

990
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 2: It was reported by very respectable journalists that in fact

991
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 2: Chris Paul had been had been informed he would be waived.

992
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: How did that happen, How did that leak out? How

993
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 2: you know? And then how do they retract it? What

994
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 2: do you have any ideas to the chronology of that

995
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: and how that ended up being a big miss.

996
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 7: I can't speak to that because you know, I look,

997
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 7: I trust Chris and is reporting is respected colleagues, so

998
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 7: I trust the information that's going on. But I think

999
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 7: that you know, what very well may be the case

1000
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 7: is that people interpreted that meeting differently right where Chris

1001
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 7: Paul viewed it as Yeah, the writings on the wall

1002
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 7: that they're looking to wave me and the Suns looked

1003
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 7: at it as they're trying to be proactive and transparent

1004
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 7: ahead of time of a possibility that very well might happen,

1005
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 7: but isn't automatic. So it might really be semantics. And

1006
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 7: when Frank Vogel is saying we haven't waved Chris Paul,

1007
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 7: he's not lying. He's still on the roster. But I

1008
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 7: think the question is will he get waived, you know,

1009
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 7: before June twenty eighth, And you know, that's the ultimate

1010
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 7: question here. So certainly the Suns are going to look

1011
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 7: to see what they can get in trade scenarios, but

1012
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 7: it's not, you know, a guarantee that he won't be

1013
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 7: in a Sun's uniform. But I think that obviously Chris

1014
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 7: Paul is bracing for that possibility.

1015
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 2: Wrapping it up with Mark mcdina, Mark, finally the gift

1016
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 2: that keeps on giving. I got to thinking about John Moran.

1017
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 2: What if it was a toy done the first time.

1018
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 7: I don't know if it really makes well. It does

1019
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 7: make a difference, no doubt, But as far as I

1020
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 7: think the NBA's punishment, you know, maybe it would be

1021
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 7: less severe, But I think because this happened the second time,

1022
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 7: it was you know, Adam Silverstone Dan Patrick the other

1023
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,959
Speaker 7: day that it's not so much about whether it's real

1024
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 7: or not, the fact that he's promoting this and he's

1025
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 7: you know, obviously being a role model for kids in

1026
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 7: regardless of how people view gun ownership and Second Amendment issues. Right,

1027
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 7: the idea of you know, kind of glorifying and categorizing

1028
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 7: as a toy as a concerning of itself. But you

1029
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 7: know what that that is a stalling tactic. It's muddying

1030
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 7: the waters. It was a real gun, so you know,

1031
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 7: it's almost kind of a non issue.

1032
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 2: I mean, it makes it worse. I'm going to tell

1033
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 2: you why, because you're flaunting the exact culture that Adam

1034
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: silver has asked people. Please, you're allowed to own guns,

1035
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 2: you get the Second Amendment, you're allowed to protect yourself.

1036
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 2: But if you're going to flaunp this culture as someone

1037
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: who's a role model for the NBA, whether it's a

1038
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 2: toy gun or not. Mark, wasn't there a situation years

1039
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 2: back this poor young man flashed a toy I think

1040
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: he was like twelve years old, flashed a toy gun

1041
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: in front of an officer and ended up getting shot.

1042
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: So this is not this is serious business. And if

1043
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 2: it was a toy gun, why didn't he say it

1044
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,959
Speaker 2: that night? Why did he wait two weeks?

1045
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 7: Well, that's what I'm saying. It's a real gun. And look,

1046
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 7: I think when you're looking at the first incident, if

1047
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 7: it was a toy gun in a nightclub, maybe it's

1048
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 7: looked at differently just because of the possibility that he

1049
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 7: could have put people in danger. You know, there are

1050
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 7: some state laws which I still don't understand. It does

1051
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 7: stay in the state of Colorado that if you are

1052
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 7: intoxicated in possession of a firearm, that's a criminal offense.

1053
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 7: Yet there was nothing that came out of that beyond

1054
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 7: the suspension. But I digress. But the reality is, yeah,

1055
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 7: you're right, it's it's a troubling thing, regardless of it,

1056
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 7: and for different reasons. So but again it's a new

1057
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 7: point to what you said. They're trying to muddy the waters.

1058
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 7: That's their explanation week after the fact, as opposed to

1059
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 7: right after the fact, and especially the fact that this

1060
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 7: was the second time around, Like, there's no justification. He

1061
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 7: was going through his apology tour and saying how he's

1062
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 7: going to change, and then he just kind of flaunts

1063
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 7: that and shows that he's not changing. And I'm not

1064
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 7: naive that it is a process, but it really felt

1065
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 7: like the first go round, you know, all sides involved,

1066
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 7: the NBA, the Grizzlies, John Morant, they try to sweep

1067
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 7: under the rug and act contrite and then think, okay,

1068
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 7: that's good enough, and clearly he didn't really take this seriously.

1069
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 2: Final thing, Mark, I believe that Denver will dispatch of

1070
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 2: Miami Monday, no respect handily. So we'll have a couple

1071
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 2: of week low between the NBA Finals and the draft.

1072
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: Should we not hear Adam Silver and whatever punishment he's

1073
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: going to meet out, should we not hear it within

1074
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 2: that time frame?

1075
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 7: I would expect, you know, because Adam Silver had said

1076
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 7: that they were waiting until after the NBA Finals. Now

1077
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 7: you know, does he hold back and say we don't

1078
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 7: want to steal attention away from the NBA Draft. Maybe

1079
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 7: that is another thing because that is obviously a huge

1080
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 7: moment for the prospects coming in, So maybe they wait

1081
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 7: until after the draft leading the free agency. But at

1082
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 7: some point you know it's going to get out, So

1083
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 7: I would think fighter predict it's going to be in

1084
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 7: that in between stage between the draft and free agency

1085
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 7: and then maybe after free agency. You know, from a

1086
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 7: public you know, attention standpoint, everything is on all the

1087
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 7: transactional deals. I hate to be a crass about of it.

1088
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 7: That's kind of just how our society is with how,

1089
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 7: you know, how their attention span is.

1090
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 2: Well, let's have a little fun more or less than

1091
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 2: forty games. Yeah, it bit's purely a guess. It's purely

1092
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 2: a guess because there's no way we could possibly know.

1093
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, look, I'm not going to be surprised

1094
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 7: about anything. So if it's season ending, I won't be surprised.

1095
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 7: If I did, I have to guess, I think it's

1096
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 7: going to be half a season. But look, I think

1097
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 7: Adam Silver was really trying to lay the groundwork that

1098
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 7: the second punishment was going to be a lot more severe.

1099
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 7: That being said, I think that it's not just going

1100
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 7: to be about the punishment. He has stress that he

1101
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 7: hopes and is going to take ownership, that the league

1102
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 7: and the players and the organization and John Moran himself,

1103
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 7: they're all going to try to take ownership and making

1104
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 7: sure that he has the right resources around him to

1105
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 7: better himself. And so I think that On one hand,

1106
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 7: it is good that it's not just about you know,

1107
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 7: being dictating the punishment and make an example. But I

1108
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 7: do fear that there is that gray area where you know,

1109
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 7: you are kind of setting job up to be the

1110
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 7: sympathetic character when in reality he did things that could

1111
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 7: have been dangerous to himself and other people and at

1112
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 7: some point you can't enable that kind of behavior.

1113
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 2: Now, that's an outstanding journalistic angle, and yet that is

1114
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: well crafted, and I think that's a dynamic that's a

1115
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 2: little bit bothersome to me, that he's been painted as

1116
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 2: a sympathetic character and I just can't buy that. Mark

1117
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 2: as always great stuff. Appreciate you man, have a good week. Ahit,

1123
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 2: the pulse coming up. What if I told you about

1124
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 2: a team that won three in a row, fifty three

1125

Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fradlewar Company Live for the Las Vegas Fox

1130
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: How right back on the Bernie Frattle Show Company Live

1131
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tirak tot Cam Studios.

1132
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 2: A ton of stuff to get into today. Man, we're

1133
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 2: just getting started. Well, I'll tell you who's not getting started.

1134
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: Oklahoma softball Take a Bow just won their third straight

1135
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: at National Championship. In a row, They've won fifty three

1136
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 2: games in a row. Not only that, they were sixty

1137
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 2: one and one this season, extending their record long winning streak.

1138
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 2: Their only loss came by one run on the road

1139
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 2: against Baylor back around the Super Bowl. That's how long

1140
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 2: it's been. And it's not like they're playing slack teams.

1141
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: They played tons of quality opponents this year and they

1142
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 2: rolled to take Florida State. They beat Florida State back

1143
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 2: to back in the best of three in the World Series.

1144
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: Florida State was fifty eight and eleven this year. They

1145
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 2: won the ACC Championship and they played well. It's just

1146
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma is that much better. Of their sixty one wins

1147
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: this season, thirty five shutouts. They had three pitchers who

1148
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 2: ranked in the top eight in the entire nation in

1149
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 2: the ERA three on one staff. That's given their flowers

1150
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 2: Nicole may oer point nine to one ERA, Jordan Ball

1151
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: oh point nine two ERA, Alex Duraco one point one

1152
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: two incredible. Oh yeah, they hit pretty well too. The

1153
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Sooners women's softball team averaged eight point two runs

1154
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: per game on offense. That's one full run better than

1155
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 2: any other team in the country. Their team batting average

1156
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 2: three to sixty seven. Their team batting average three to

1157
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 2: sixty seven. That's thirty one points higher than the next

1158
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,959
Speaker 2: highest team in College South Well. By the way, again,

1159
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: I want to reiterate the Sooners took on all comers.

1160
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 2: It's not as though they were beating up on subpar competition.

1161
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 2: The Oklahoma Sooners sixty one to one, third straight national championship,

1162
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: fifty three wins in a row. They had the third

1163
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 2: toughest strength of schedule in the nation. They're just simply

1164
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 2: better than everyone else. How long can they keep it going?

1165
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 2: I guess that's up to their coach Patty Gasso. I

1166
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: think they can keep it going after watching them play.

1167
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: No team, I don't know that anybody can argue with

1168
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 2: this statement. No team in all of North America and

1169
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 2: North American sports has been as dominant over the past

1170
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 2: three years as the Oklahoma softball program. You want to

1171
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 2: argue with that, your first in line for a frontal

01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 2: see there, you going nicely done. I actually think this

1228
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 2: team could beat them, of course, you got to remember

1229
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 2: those guys are all in their sixties.

1230
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's my last track?

1231
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? Mark, come on, man, that would have proved that

1232
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,479
Speaker 2: was a perfect time to use it. All right, there

1233
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 2: you go.

1234
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 8: I think it was was that Michael Jordan who said

1235
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 8: made a similar joke about if the Warriors can beat them.

1236
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, it'd be close.

1237
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: You know how well it actually started the late great

1238
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 2: stand usual back in nineteen sixty one or whatever. They

1239
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 2: asked him, they said, Stan, if you were if you

1240
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 2: were playing today, how do you think you could hit?

1241
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 2: He says, I hit You know, I'd hit about two

1242
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 2: seven that to go what he goes? You got to

1243
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 2: remember I'm seventy five years old. So anyway, that's and

1244
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 2: it's there's been variations of that theme over time. All right,

1245
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 2: good stuff, Kevin, all right, American soccer. This is a

1246
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 2: big win for American soccer. And it's this isn't the

1247
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: first time, this isn't the first time that international superstar

1248
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 2: has joined the MLS at the end of their career.

1249
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 2: And if you follow the reports Chris does for US

1250
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 2: in the world of soccer the last sixteen months, he's

1251
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 2: covered at all and the one thing missing on Leonel

1252
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 2: Messi's resume was of course the World Cup Championship, and

1253
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 2: Argentina got it done in a spectacular match versus France

1254
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 2: last December. We were right in the middle of all that.

1255
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 2: But in the past, Derry Henry's Laton Ibohimovich. You know

1256
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 2: David Beckham, right, he joined the La Galaxy in twenty

1257
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 2: oh seven, and of course Pele he joined the New

1258
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 2: York Cosmos back in the nineteen seventies and they started

1259
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 2: drawing seventy thousand the game. Now, so Messi announced, I

1260
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 2: think it was Thursday, he intends to join Inner Miami.

1261
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,959
Speaker 2: He was courted by FC Barcelona. He's even quartered by

1262
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 2: the Saudi's who offered him three years one point six billion.

1263
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 2: That's billion with the b And what's interesting is the

1264
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 2: timing is good. Messi is joining the MLS at a

1265
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 2: time when I think American soccer is not more popular

1266
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 2: than ever. It's not just regionally, it's nationally MLS. What

1267
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 2: when fifteen years ago the MLS had thirteen teams, you

1268
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 2: have twenty nine. Now they've got a thirtieth on the way,

1269
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 2: and we're going to have the World Cup on American soil.

1270
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Here in twenty twenty six, and just the announcement of

1271
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: it is causing ticket prices to spike around MLS. We're

1272
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 2: not sure. We haven't seen the schedule. We don't know

1273
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 2: where Messi will play his first game, where he's going

1274
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: to debut. But it's not Matt It doesn't matter. He's

1275
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 2: coming to your town and you're gonna go see him.

1276
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 2: The ticket sales have already exploded, according to sources. By

1277
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 2: the way, Messi is set to receive a portion of

1278
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 2: the profits that will be generated by the new television

1279
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 2: subscribers or subscribers as it were to the MLS season past.

1280
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 2: MLS is betting that there'll be so much national interest

1281
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 2: around Messi they're cutting them into the deal, and Adidas

1282
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 2: is also participating in a Messi induced sales spike, basically

1283
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 2: because Messi is now earning percentage those profits as well.

1284
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 2: Enter is not a great team they're dealing. They were

1285
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 2: dealing with some issues this past year. I think they

1286
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 2: were in the last last place, but watch how fast

1287
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 2: they improve. I think he will bring a different dynamic

1288
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 2: to that team. And another thing that Messi is getting

1289
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 2: is an opportunity that after he retires, he will have

1290
01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 2: an opportunity to purchase an MLS frank for twenty five

1291
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 2: million dollars. Now, let me tell you the significance of that,

1292
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 2: because when you bought whoever bought that Inner, the Inner

1293
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 2: Miami Club years ago, I think they've paid twenty five

1294
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 2: million dollar. I think we might have been David Beckham.

1295
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 2: It might have been him. And in February Forbes magazine

1296
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 2: valued Inner at six hundred million dollars. Turned twenty five

1297
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 2: million into six hundred million. I'd say you had a

1298
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 2: pretty good day. So there you have it. I mean,

1299
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 2: Messi's moved. Front Office Sports is reporting that Messi is.

1300
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: He's not even there yet. The deal's not even officially

1301
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 2: agreed upon yet it's going to be. I think he's

1302
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 2: already making a major impact on the MLS. And they

1303
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,879
Speaker 2: know that Miami is scheduled to play in six markets

1304
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 2: for sure, and they estimate his debut will be around

1305
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 2: July twenty first, and the secondary markets, those tickets are

1306
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 2: going crazy. The demand is skyrocketing as much as tenfold.

1307
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 2: People are you know, I don't know what it cost

1308
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 2: a face value ticket to it costs to get into

1309
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 2: an MLS game, but there are you know, agencies reporting

1310
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 2: that just a ticket price in the aftermarket in Los

1311
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 2: Angeles could be his high as five hundred dollars a ticket.

1312
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 2: And again, Messi hasn't even played a game yet, had

1313
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 2: even you know, officially consummated the contract yet. Now a

1314
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 2: couple of a couple of the MLS clubs, Charlotte FC

1315
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 2: and Atlanta United, they've already decided to open the upper

1316
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,679
Speaker 2: levels of their stadium. Now this would allow for full

1317
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 2: capacity and their usual crowds, you know, are around thirty thousand.

1318
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 2: Orlando City using their home match against Inter Miami. That's

1319
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 2: going to drive season ticket sales. So anyway you slice it,

1320
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 2: this is a massive win. It's a massive, huge, big upgrade.

1321
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 2: And again, David Beckham, who's one of the club co

1322
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 2: owners of Inner Miami, he's not saying, hey, maybe we'll

1323
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 2: play some of our home matches at the Dolphins hard

1324
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 2: Rock Stadium. They currently play at a place called DVR

1325
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 2: Pink Stadium or DRV Pink Stadium. Excuse me, that only

1326
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 2: holds nineteen thousand people. But I could envision selling out

1327
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 2: hard Rock Stadium. I told you that, you know, Pele

1328
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 2: did it with the New York Cosmos. And when you

1329
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 2: have a partner, a league partner like Apple, which is

1330
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 2: reportedly facilitating Messi's signing with a revenue sharing component. That

1331
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: is that optic in and of itself, is going to

1332
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 2: add a dimension and an impression to this whole thing. Right,

1333
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 2: Apple paid two point five billion dollars to broadcast MLS games,

1334
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 2: and people were scratching their heads. But now they're saying

1335
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,799
Speaker 2: to them self, wait a minute, what is Apple seeing

1336
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 2: that we don't see. Well, one thing we're all seeing

1337
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: now is the league. The MLS now boasts the most

1338
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: popular soccer player in the world. And you had to

1339
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 2: watch Argentina and it was incredible their run to the

1340
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: World Cup. They got upset in game one and it

1341
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 2: looked like, you know, always the bride's made, never the bride.

1342
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 2: The one thing missing from Lane Messi's resume was, of course,

1343
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 2: the World Cup. But he got it done. Now he

1344
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 2: comes to the States, everybody's looking smart over this, including Apple.

1345
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 2: They're looking pretty smart now because he had depressions to

1346
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: realize that. All right, we believe eyeballs are going to

1347
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 2: be driven to soccer, and we're going to pony up

1348
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 2: over two billion dollars for the rights to broadcast their games.

1349
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 2: Now that deal already looks much better. I want to

1350
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,520
Speaker 2: remind everybody tonight show was brought to you by Progressive

01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 2: been under the raid today, but something that was not

1356
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 2: under the radar is a decision that was made at

1357
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 2: Churchill Downs earlier this past week. I will share it

1358
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 2: with you, and frankly, there's a sad overtone to this story.

1359
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle for Comedy Alive from the Las Vegas

Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Comedy Alive from the Tirak dot com studios

1364
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, coming up top of the hour.

1365
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 2: Very clever of these folks in Knoxville, Tennessee and one

1366
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 2: of the newspapers down there, they had a little bit

1367
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 2: of a round table having to do who they find

1368
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 2: to be the most annoying sports figures in world sport.

1369
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 2: Some of the quotes, some of the comments are don

1370
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 2: right hilarious. We'll bring that to you again a little

1371
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 2: later in the show. I haven't forgotten we are going

1372
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 2: to dive heavily into the Oakland A's to Vegas. You've

1373
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 2: been hearing a lot about it over the last couple

1374
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 2: of months. I believe it's largely, by and large been misreported.

1375
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 2: When minute they act like it's a done deal and

1376
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 2: they change your mind, it's never been a done deal.

1377
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 2: And I've explained the nuances going back to late April

1378
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 2: and even going back about a year. But there'll be

1379
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 2: an event here Monday. I'll explain the chronology of how

1380
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 2: they got there and what happens Monday and where it

1381
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 2: might go from there. And of course don't forget coming

1382
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 2: up two am Pacific, five am Eastern, the dance sensation

1383
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: sweeping the nation? What kind of brand new fool you?

1384
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 2: Followed by what my name? Before I get to what

1385
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 2: took place in Churchill Downs this past week. You heard

1386
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 2: Brad Powers on about an hour and a half ago,

1387
01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 2: our college football guru. We were talking about, you know,

1388
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 2: the upcoming college football season and how we expect Georgia

1389
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 2: to fair in Alabama and LSU and USC in Texas

1390
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 2: and Michigan and Ohio State and it's not you know,

1391
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 2: it's not that far away. Seventy plus days, we're gonna

1392
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 2: have our first college football game, and of course one

1393
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: of the teams will be watching is Colorado and Dion

1394
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 2: Sanders Brad had some thoughts on that. You can hear

1395
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 2: it on the podcast if you missed it. But one

1396
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 2: of the things I meant to mention earlier in the show,

1397
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 2: remember next year, twenty twenty four, the Big Ten and

1398
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve, Well, the Big Ten will welcome in

1399
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 2: Michigan a check that they'll welcome in USC and UCLA

1400
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 2: to join the Pac twelve in the twenty twenty four

1401
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: college football season. And right out of the gate, Marca

1402
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 2: Kolender's USC fans, Michigan will pay a visit to USC

1403
01:14:55,200 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 2: the very first year in Ohio State will pay a

1404
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 2: visit to UCLA. Iowa will also pay a visit to USSE. Meanwhile,

1405
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 2: Ucla UCLA fans you get to go to Michigan year one.

1406
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 2: Wisconsin will also pay a visit to USC. Nebraska will

1407
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 2: come play UCLA and on the road, usc will have

1408
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 2: to go to Penn State, UCLA will have to travel

1409
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 2: to Iowa. Those are just some early conference games that

1410
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 2: I think we're going to be very much looking forward to.

1411
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 2: All Right, Churchill Downs today was the Belmont Stake. Seemed

1412
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 2: to fly under the raidar just a little bit, but

1413
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 2: not for everybody, just for some people. Churchill Downs the

1414
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 2: Fame Track and of course you know them because that's

1415
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 2: where the Kentucky Derby is hosted. They are suspending race

1416
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 2: operations for about a month and this will I think

1417
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 2: signify what I consider to be a fairly dramatic response

1418
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 2: to an ongoing crisis which has been going on for

1419
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 2: a while, and that is twelve horses have died at

1420
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 2: Churchill Downs in the last two months, and so they

1421
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 2: suspended lot beginning June seventh, which was I believe Wednesday.

1422
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 2: They are going to suspend live racing until at least

1423
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 2: the July fourth weekend, and that would represent the remainder

1424
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 2: of the Churchill Downs spring meet. They're going to move

1425
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 2: that to a facility called Ellis Park Racing and Gaming

1426
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 2: in Henderson, Kentucky. Now that's also a facility owned by

1427
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 2: Churchill Downs. But it's not the Churchill Downs. There were

1428
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 2: some scheduled races that were held last week, but that's

1429
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 2: going to be it for about a month. There's going

1430
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 2: to be a four week suspension, and track officials and

1431
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 2: the horse experts are going to continue to research and

1432
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:03,879
Speaker 2: investigate the cause of the deaths of these horses, twelve

1433
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 2: horses in the last two months, and despite ongoing safety issues.

1434
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 2: And again this is the thing when I talked about

1435
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 2: the Live Tour and the merger between Live and PGA,

1436
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,799
Speaker 2: merely reporting in from a journalistic standpoint, not taking sides.

1437
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 2: I simply put they needed the money, all right. You

1438
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 2: have a situation where because of this lawsuit, the PGA

1439
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 2: had already spent fifty million dollars in legal fees and

1440
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 2: according to their commissioner J Monahan, had tapped into the

1441
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 2: reserve to the tune of about one hundred million dollars.

1442
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 2: That can't continue. So simply put the Live Tour, well,

1443
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 2: they want more eyeballs, they want legitimacy, they want a

1444
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 2: bona fide TV contract. Meanwhile, the PGA was in tour,

1445
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: the PGA was in need of money, and oh yeah,

1446
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 2: the US Open is this Thursday. That seems to have

1447
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 2: overshadow everything, but it just shows how money does rule

1448
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 2: whether you like it or not. Don't play kill a

1449
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,839
Speaker 2: messenger with me and the Kentucky Derby was no different

1450
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 2: right despite these ongoing safety issues in the fact twelve

1451
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: horses died there in the last two months, the twenty

1452
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 2: twenty three Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs still drew an

1453
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 2: announced crowd of about one hundred and fifty one thousand

1454
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 2: generated a record level betting handle of two hundred and

1455
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 2: eighty nine million dollars. Yes, hopefully they get to the

1456
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 2: bottom of this. It seems to be a weird one.

1457
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 2: By the way. Speaking of betting, a gentleman by the

1458
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 2: name of John Grace here in Las Vegas, if the

1459
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 2: Golden Knights win one more game in the Stanley Cup Finals,

1460
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 2: he's going to cash into the tune of about one

1461
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 2: hundred and twelve thousand dollars, starting with a bet he

1462
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 2: made back on November first place the three team futures

1463
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:57,640
Speaker 2: parlay at Circle for one hundred dollars. He had Argentina

1464
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 2: to win the World Cup at six and a half

1465
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 2: to one. They did it, the Denver Nuggets to win

1466
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 2: the Western Conference of the nbaight nine to one, and

1467
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 2: the Knights to win the Stanley Cup at ten to one.

1468
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 2: After he was advancing, he placed a five thousand dollars

1469
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 2: parlay to win thirty seven thousand for the Knights to

1470
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 2: win it all in Denver to beat the Lakers in

1471
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 2: the Western Conference final. So yes, the turnover of Paspa

1472
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 2: is well underway. People are advancing in the Almighty Dollar.

1473
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,679
Speaker 2: Is as it always has been, is ruling sports coming up.

1474
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,679
Speaker 2: Credit to the folks in Knoxville, they did something very creative.

1475
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 2: I'll share it with you. Keep it locked. This is

1476

Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Fox Sports Radio Bernie Fraddle Show keeps rolling

01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 2: tire buying should be. You know, the opp opposite of

1483
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 2: love is not hate, it's indifference. You have to have generative,

1484
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 2: the same type of emotion that causes you to love something.

1485
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 2: To hate something, you have to care right. This past week,

1486
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,719
Speaker 2: these folks at the Knoxville News Sentinel, they did something

1487
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 2: I thought was kind of clever. They may have said

1488
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,799
Speaker 2: some things we're all thinking, but we all have our favorites,

1489
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 2: and we all have people we boo and don't particularly

1490
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 2: care for. We all have our own reasons why. But

1491
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 2: what these folks did, and I wanted to, you know,

1492
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,719
Speaker 2: throw them some props. I'm not gonna mention their names

1493
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 2: of the writers, keep their privacy or some of the

1494
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 2: readers who wrote in, but very clever. They picked their

1495
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 2: most annoying sports figures. And there were a couple that

1496
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 2: would say, yeah, I can see that, and there are

1497
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 2: a couple of huh. So let's have a little fun

1498
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 2: with this. I will share this with you about fifty minutes.

1499
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring in the curl at Kevin and

1500
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 2: Patrick Waye too. They have their finger on the pulse

1501
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 2: to see who they like and who they don't like.

1502
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 2: But one particular writer, and I'm not gonna give her name,

1503
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 2: it was a female. She says, you know, there are

1504
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 2: quite a few athletes who are annoying, but I have

1505
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 2: to give my vote to Aaron Rodgers. He's a self

1506
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 2: satisfied wanna be millionaire bohemian. Okay, he's worth like two

1507
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 2: hundred eighty million, all right. He's a self satisfied wanna

1508
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: be millionaire bohemian who, when answering any questions, either one

1509
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 2: monosyllables his answer after a long, boring stare or two

1510
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,600
Speaker 2: launches into an off the wall crazy tangent. For example,

1511
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 2: listening to Pat McAfee's interview in the dark retreat he

1512
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 2: entered for a week and discussing going to the bathroom

1513
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 2: and complete darkness. I'm sorry that made me laugh. She

1514
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 2: covered a lot of She covered a lot of good ground.

1515
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 2: Went on to say, what's with that. He's a fun

1516
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 2: quarterback to watch, but the Jets might even end up

1517
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 2: making him crazier. I mean he was off center, no

1518
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 2: pun intended. In Wisconsin, New York. That could be a

1519
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 2: whole new ball game. Literally. A reader responded to that

1520
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 2: and said, you know, it says thoughlways trying way too

1521
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 2: hard to prove he's not just some dumb jock, but

1522
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 2: he is, in fact a deep thinker and a risk taker,

1523
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 2: like you know, going to the bathroom in the dark.

1524
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 2: That said, he's one of my all time favorite quarterbacks

1525
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 2: and then this reader. This is good stuff, he says.

1526
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 2: You know, I also loved him. To make their point,

1527
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 2: he said, well, I also love Tom Cruise movies, even

1528
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 2: though his beliefs indicate he's a total nuts job. These

1529
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 2: people did not pull any punches. We're just getting started here.

1530
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 2: You better put on your seatbelt, put your trade tables forward,

1531
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 2: and your seatbacks upright for this one. One of the

1532
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 2: writers also said, this is a different writer. Now wait

1533
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 2: for it. Lebron James is the most annoying sports figure,

1534
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 2: as UFC fighter Colby Covington once stated, quote, I see

1535
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 2: all the hypocrisy from Lebron. He claims to be about

1536
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 2: social justice, but he won't say free Hong Kong. He

1537
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 2: won't talk about all the women he's profiting off in

1538
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 2: Chinese sweatshops that are making all of his shoes for dollars.

1539
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:26,879
Speaker 2: He's coming over to America and selling them for hundreds

1540
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,640
Speaker 2: and profiting millions off of them here in America. Some

1541
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 2: of the English hears, and perhaps his syntax isn't great,

1542
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 2: but they said, this guy is not on a pedestal.

1543
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 2: He's a piece of garbage. Whoaha, Oho, that's a little

1544
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 2: rough there. Okay, all right, but anyway that A reader

1545
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 2: wrote it and says, hey, even former number one pick

1546
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 2: Kwame Brown, NBA number one pick, now regarded as one

1547
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 2: of the league's biggest bus people, did not miss around man.

1548
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 2: He's also not in the Lebron fan club. In fact,

1549
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,839
Speaker 2: he record a video for social media after the Lakers

1550
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 2: lost in four consecutive games to the Denver Nuggets, in

1551
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 2: which he quote Rip James for not getting a shot

1552
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 2: off in the final seconds. He says, I've never seen

1553
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 2: a guy you're caliber or supposed caliber, you don't even

1554
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 2: get a shot off. You're probably the best scorer in

1555
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 2: the game. You got all those points, but you were

1556
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 2: looking for a bailout. Again. You can't say you're great.

1557
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 2: You gotta do great things. That's where great in this lies.

1558
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Of course. One reader responded to that by saying, this

1559
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 2: gentleman must have had a bet on the Lakers. Now

1560
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 2: here's one I think that might get your attention a little.

1561
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 2: It's a little under the radar. One particular gentleman waged

1562
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 2: in and said, I would have to say my most

1563
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 2: annoying person is John Calipari. YEP. A big part of

1564
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 2: it is because I'm a UT fan. However, I actually

1565
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 2: liked him as a coach until he got to Kentucky.

1566
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 2: I can't stand it when he coaches and he treats

1567
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 2: everyone like idiots and they're the only ones that know

1568
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 2: anything about the sport. Coach, his sarcasm, the excuses, the complaining,

1569
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 2: it's just old and big basically makes me want to

1570
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 2: throw up. A reader responded to that by saying Kentucky's

1571
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 2: recent failures in the NCAA Tournament are causing severe stomach

1572
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 2: problems for the Big Blue fan base. Another writer a

1573
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 2: reader responded to that, said, well, my Lakers just got

1574
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,480
Speaker 2: swept and I started vomiting. Here's a family friendly repply.

1575
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 2: This is here I come telling you they're coming after

1576
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 2: Lebron again. Here's what a third writer reader wrote, Lebron

1577
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 2: James annoys me immensely. For someone who's made it and

1578
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 2: has it all, he whinds way too much. Lebron James

1579
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 2: declares himself with the goat. What doesn't work that way?

1580
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 2: All players, past and present, sports media and the fans

1581
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,719
Speaker 2: they decide who the greatest of all time is. James

1582
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,759
Speaker 2: showed this past week that he can't carry a team

1583
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:04,759
Speaker 2: when he's old. James, by the way, has been barking

1584
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 2: way too long. Go ahead and retire as a top

1585
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 2: ten because James ain't in the top five all time

1586
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 2: NBA if you include the postseason. Our reader wrote in

1587
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 2: response to that, well, well, maybe James would feel better

1588
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:20,719
Speaker 2: about things if he went to a retreat with Aaron Rodgers.

1589
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 2: Oh boy, we're cooking now. Now here's one from way

1590
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 2: out and left field. You have to follow the NFL

1591
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:30,719
Speaker 2: in the eighties and most particularly the New York Jets

1592
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 2: and a thing called the New York Sack Exchange, and

1593
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,640
Speaker 2: they were very, very entertaining. Actually they would sack the

1594
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 2: quarterback and dance around and they were good dancers. It

1595
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 2: was pretty cool. Okay, So this gentleman rights. My most

1596
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 2: annoying is Mark Gastona, Mark Aastineau, the original mister show Bolt.

1597
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 2: Look at me, I did that. Undoubtedly Gastona changed the

1598
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 2: behavior of athletes in all levels, but in my opinion,

1599
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: the behavioral changes have become entrenched is a detrimental part

1600
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 2: of the sport and coursing us society. Wow, I didn't

1601
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 2: know Gastono had that kind of power. A reader responded

1602
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 2: to that, saying Nonetheless, I think the New York Jets

1603
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 2: fans fondly remember Mark Gastineau and his dances as part

1604
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,799
Speaker 2: of the New York Sack exchange in the early nineteen eighties.

1605
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 2: The Jets haven't had a winning season since twenty fifteen,

1606
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 2: having returned to the Super Bowl since Joe Nyamath made

1607
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:28,679
Speaker 2: good on his victory guarantee in Super Bowl three. Finally,

1608
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 2: this one is random as hell, but I don't think

1609
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 2: it's terribly far off. A gentleman writes in He says,

1610
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 2: Steve Spurrier, you know, the old ball coach, come on

1611
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 2: coaching for a thousand years Florida, South Carolina, right him

1612
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 2: down the line. Was a very good quarterback in college too,

1613
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:51,719
Speaker 2: sixty years ago. Steve Spurrier is the most annoying person

1614
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 2: in the history of sports. His negative comments about opposing teams,

1615
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: his papa's attitude, his disgusting voice made my blood boil

1616
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 2: every time he appeared on TV. Spurrier showed how little

1617
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: class he has by walking out on the South Carolina

1618
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:13,480
Speaker 2: football team in the middle of the season. A reader responded,

1619
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 2: he says, well, he wasn't a good loser, which is

1620
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 2: probably one of the reasons he won so much. Here's

1621
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 2: another This one kind of spreads it out a little bit.

1622
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 2: It says, annoying sports figures. How about live golfers who

1623
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 2: claim unselfish motives to quote, grow the game of golf.

1624
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 2: Harold Varner, an unapologetic capitalist golfer who also joined the Live,

1625
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 2: cuts through their self justification incisively in an interview with

1626
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 2: the Washington Posts un quote, they're full of blank. They're

1627
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 2: growing their pockets now. Although a reader response says, although

1628
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 2: ella live PGA debate is a little interest to me,

1629
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 2: I respect Tom's opinion since he's an accomplished golfer, but

1630
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,719
Speaker 2: don't take my word for a check. With Teleco villages

1631
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 2: over sixty five golfers, any championship in that group goes

1632
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 2: through Tom. So it's a I guess that's a local

1633
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 2: thing there in Knoxville. All in all, I think they

1634
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 2: did a pretty good job. Some of those you know insights,

1635
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 2: some of those observations spot to lie. I mean, yeah,

1636
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 2: they're slanted. And I told you that the opposite of

1637
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 2: love is not hate, it's indifference. I guarantee if any

1638
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 2: one of those people got on an elevator with with

1639
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 2: Lebron or rogers, and they were nice to them, they'd

1640
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 2: be you know, they'd be frothing everywhere. But be that

1641
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:33,560
Speaker 2: as it may, we are dealing with human beings. We

1642
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 2: remember fan is short for fanatic coming out. Let's bring

Speaker 2: just says things for reaction and clicks wash stuff. Fighter

1671

01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:22,560

1676
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 2: the mascot had to go. It's to the emergency. I

1677
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 2: hope he's I don't know, but yeah, I mean that's

1678
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 2: a little come on that ain't annoying. Then, I don't

1679
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 2: know what annoying is, but let's just bring on a crew.

1680
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 2: Patrick usually have a clever things and subject matters of

1681
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 2: this nature. Who do you find annoying?

1682
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 3: Well, Bernie, you know who I kind of find annoying.

1683
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:54,759
Speaker 3: Like I'm very mild mannered, but there is at least

1684
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 3: one person that on my own head that I just

1685
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 3: find so annoying, and it is a quarterback. And that

1686
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 3: quarterback is with the New York Jets. That is mister

1687
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:08,720
Speaker 3: Aaron Ragetz.

1688
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,960
Speaker 2: He was very popular in this poll. They talked about

1689
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 2: rot Ye. Now what he's just just his attitude, his demeanor,

1690
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 2: the way he is sort of knuck at himself the

1691
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 2: last three or four years. What is it that doesn't

1692
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 2: for you?

1693
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 3: Well, to me, it really is come down to like

1694
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,759
Speaker 3: just his character and his attitude, demeanor, Like it's pretty

1695
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,000
Speaker 3: much all the above just in my eyes, Like I

1696
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 3: mean I've watched him back, like, you know, since he

1697
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 3: was you know, starting out with Green Bay and how

1698
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 3: he hated on FARV and was all mad and you

1699
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 3: know how all that stuff with like being behind him

1700
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,799
Speaker 3: and then playing with a so called chip on his shoulder,

1701
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:50,360
Speaker 3: and just the way he's carried himself. I granted, he's

1702
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 3: a great quarterback and certainly you know, a top quarterback

1703
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 3: ever in the league, but he just comes off as very,

1704
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,679
Speaker 3: very arrogant. And also in the last couple of years

1705
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 3: he's grown, as I would say, kind of just almost

1706
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 3: like the villain or a villain type and very pompous

1707
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:09,679
Speaker 3: in a way.

1708
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 1: I I've seen it.

1709
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 2: No, I don't spot the line. There's nothing you said

1710
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:16,439
Speaker 2: there that I don't disagree with. It's be interesting to

1711
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 2: see what happens in New York this year if they

1712
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 2: don't win, that's going to be interesting to see how

1713
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 2: that unfolds with that media. Kevin Wired, you got to

1714
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 2: have someone out.

1715
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: There to get your skin so with it.

1716
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 8: This one is easy, and I'm gonna go with the

1717
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 8: guy who has been by far the biggest crier in

1718
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball over the last decade plus, Madison. Don't

1719
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:38,920
Speaker 8: look at me, Bumgarner. He complains and cries just about

1720
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,680
Speaker 8: anything any slight that an opposing player will do. And

1721
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 8: it's not just when he loses, like when it comes

1722
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 8: to sore losers, like they're annoying, but it's at least understandable. Hey,

1723
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 8: they're losing their upset. Madison Bumgarner would also cry and

1724
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 8: complain when he would win. He would strike a batter

1725
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 8: rout or get him to pop out, and if they

1726
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 8: would do something he didn't like, he would still yell

1727
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:57,960
Speaker 8: and complain at him. And it's like, dude, shut up,

1728
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 8: you're winning. Why are you so tightly wound, especially if

1729
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 8: you're having so much success. So that always got on

1730
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 8: my nerves, is how Madison Bumgarner would complain or cry

1731
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 8: someone's taking too long around the bases, or like he pumped,

1732
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 8: you know, he pumped himself after hitting a big home run,

1733
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 8: something like that, And it always got on my nerves.

1734
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 8: And that's why I was so glad to have the

1735
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 8: league basically come out with that PSA saying let the

1736
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 8: kids play, because he was one of the biggest kill

1737
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 8: joys in sports for the last decade.

1738
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 2: You're not wrong. He was very confrontational. I'm guessing though,

1739
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 2: you gotta be a Dodger fan and maybe a Giant hater.

1740
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

1741
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 3: That? Yeah?

1742
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, and that's okay, I'm not go ahead.

1743
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, that definitely has a bit to do with it.

1744
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:44,959
Speaker 8: But just as a general sports fan.

1745
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 2: You listen, you don't even have to qualify why you

1746
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 2: feel the way you feel. I remember he had the

1747
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,680
Speaker 2: incident with the Assio Puigue seven eight years ago. They

1748
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 2: almost got no fight. And then I think he gave

1749
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 2: up a home run to Max Munsey said something about

1750
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. And months he says

1751
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:06,920
Speaker 2: he hit a home run in McCovey Cove. Months he

1752
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 2: hit went off of mad bum when when he was

1753
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 2: still with the Giants, and months he said something going

1754
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 2: around the base is like, well you don't like it,

1755
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 2: go get out of the ocean then, or go fishing.

1756
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 2: Dam thing. No, those are good ones. Aaron Rodgers mad

1757
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 2: bum uh. And you know I Vig had a good one.

1758
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor, I want to go back to Rogers for

1759
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 2: a second. He he might really be taking the cake.

1760
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why this makes no sense to me.

1761
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 2: And I really mean this for reasons that maybe only

1762
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers could could justify. I'll use that word. Okay. Recently,

1763
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 2: within the last week, I think he went on the

1764
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 2: record again with the Athletic He went on the record

1765
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:59,000
Speaker 2: with the Athletic because he had to air his grievances

1766
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 2: about being in Green Bay. Now what I and it

1767
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 2: was clunky and it was self serving, and it was

1768
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 2: just nonsensical for the umpteeth time. Even though the ship

1769
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 2: assailed Green Bay is long in the rearview. Mary, He's

1770
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 2: onto a new team, he continues to, you know, hang

1771
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 2: on to this notion that is fair to be responsive

1772
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,879
Speaker 2: in efforts to reach him. We're not intentional. He's sticking

1773
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 2: with the bad self coverage story. He's doubled down on it.

1774
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 2: He's tripled down on it. Maybe it's true. I don't

1775
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:35,640
Speaker 2: understand why you feel you have to defend yourself over this.

1776
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:40,920
Speaker 2: No one cares. Aaron Rodgers doth protest too much? You

1777
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 2: got zero bars? You got one bar? I don't know.

1778
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 2: You got a long bar. I don't. Sometimes it goes through,

1779
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't. Everybody knows that when Aaron Rodgers, everybody

1780
01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 2: knows that I'm out west and how to get hold

1781
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 2: of me. So you can say whatever you want about that,

1782
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 2: but that's the effing truth. No, they can't say what

1783
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:02,479
Speaker 2: they want because you lose your mind. Why would you care, dude,

1784
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 2: You've made three hundred million bucks. You're headed in New York.

1785
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 2: He said, the Super Bowl trophy looks lonely in the

1786
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 2: case by itself. You might be able to do what

1787
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 2: Joe Namath did, and he might. The Jets are a

1788
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:17,679
Speaker 2: good team, great defense, Hopefully Breese Hall is healthy. He's

1789
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,519
Speaker 2: got talented wide receivers to throw the ball to. They're

1790
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,559
Speaker 2: well coached. Hell, they were five and three with Mac

1791
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:29,600
Speaker 2: with Zach Wilson, they beat Buffalo, they beat Miami with

1792
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,559
Speaker 2: then Wilson, you know, went to Leonard toast route and

1793
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 2: what happens next? Mike White comes in. He did a

1794
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 2: very admirable job. And they're winning games with Mike White.

1795
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 2: Imagine what they could potentially do with Aaron Rodgers. And

1796
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:45,400
Speaker 2: he's got to go back about did Brian text me

1797
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:47,759
Speaker 2: more than I texted him? Yeah? But did I ghost

1798
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 2: to him?

1799
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 6: No?

1800
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 2: I texted him back. We had back and forth, but

1801
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 2: I had one bar and you're gonna bump up up, Papa.

1802
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 2: Come on, man, just tell the truth. You wanted to

1803
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 2: move on. You didn't like the fact we didn't communicate

1804
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:59,640
Speaker 2: all the time. I listen, I talk to people. I

1805
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 2: like dude, Aaron Rodgers. I get it. He's got a

1806
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder. He's had one since high school.

1807
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 2: He was non recruited in high school, had to go

1808
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,360
Speaker 2: to a junior college, wasn't respected there, went to CAW,

1809
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 2: wasn't respected, toiled for many years under Brett Favre unceremoniously.

1810
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 2: Even when he got in one of Super Bowl, some

1811
01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 2: people doted him. I never have I get that chip.

1812
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:24,320
Speaker 2: But when you take it to this level, you truly

1813
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:30,600
Speaker 2: become annoying. And you know, he caused Brian Gudocuns to respond,

1814
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 2: and he basically said that. Gudacuns said that in you know,

1815
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. He tried to contact Rogers

1816
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 2: many times after he failed to respond, and Goodcout said,

1817
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 2: I got to do my job. But then Rogers could

1818
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 2: let it go. He had the volley back and he throwed.

1819
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 2: That's when he trots out the no bar story in

1820
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:53,719
Speaker 2: his introductory press conference with the Jets. Can you imagine

1821
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 2: that that that takes things to a whole different level,

1822
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 2: a stupid level, a nonsensical level, one one that makes

1823
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 2: you really wonder where's your head really? Act right? This

1824
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:13,919
Speaker 2: is a situation where he goes on this darkness retreat

1825
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:17,440
Speaker 2: and he said he was ninety percent leading towards retirement.

1826
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 2: He learned for the first time after emerging from the darkness,

1827
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 2: that the Packers had been shopping him. It happens they

1828
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 2: traded Babe Ruth, they traded Joe Montana. You think you're

1829
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 2: immune and this really rankled Aaron Rodgers. And you know,

1830
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 2: it's just on and on and on. So I guess

1831
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:40,559
Speaker 2: he says, I talked, I talked to the people I like, right,

1832
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,599
Speaker 2: And he's actually making Brett Favre look good because when

1833
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 2: Brett Favre left the Packers, all he wanted to do

1834
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 2: is kick his teams, his old team's butt. That he

1835
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 2: wanted to beat him. That's it. But beyond that, there

1836
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 2: was none of this other michig As. By the way,

1837
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 2: good one MC tweets in his most annoying is mattress Back,

1838
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 2: noted gambler who says sporting betting is terrible for Texas.

1839
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,920
Speaker 2: Matt mattress Back what he does. He uses that as

1840
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 2: a battery ram as an advertisement. So you come in

1841
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 2: and you spend three grand at his store, and then

1842
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 2: if a team wins at the end of the year,

1843
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 2: you get your money back. He headed it plays one

1844
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 2: side against the other. No one really takes Mattress back serious.

1845
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:22,600
Speaker 2: I kind of get a kick out of him, but

1846
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 2: I can understand when some people might think that he

1847
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 2: is annoying. Speaking of annoying, what in the hell is

1848
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 2: going on with the Oakland A's to Vegas. Well, I'm

1849
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:39,360
Speaker 2: gonna tell you. I'm gonna fill in the blanks. I'm

1850
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:41,680
Speaker 2: gonna give you the chronology of what's taking place the

1851
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 2: last few weeks, when things started to heat up, what

1852
01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 2: happened this past week, and what will happen from this

1853
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 2: point forward. But first, let's go back to our guy,

1854
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,200
Speaker 2: Madison Bumgarner's favorite Kevin.

Speaker 1: Back to you, Bernie, all right.

1904
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin So weeks ago, even though this had been

1905
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:37,120
Speaker 2: bannied about for well over a year. The conversation, the

1906
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 2: national narrative having to do with whether or not the

1907
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 2: Oakland age would come to Vegas started to heat up,

1908
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 2: and it was announced they purchased land I already interview

1909
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,799
Speaker 2: of binding agreement over in what was called the wild

1910
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:53,759
Speaker 2: West area, adjacent to the fifteen Freeway and Dean Martin.

1911
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:57,800
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden they decided, well, no, wait

1912
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:00,400
Speaker 2: a minute, we're not going to buy land there, We're

1913
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:03,000
Speaker 2: gonna we want to build a stadium over by where

1914
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 2: the Tropicana Hotel currently is. That's on the corner of

1915
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropic Cana, which to me right

1916
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 2: then and there looked odd, idiosyncratic, disjointed. So as time

1917
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 2: marched on and the narrative grew more fervent, they drafted

1918
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,800
Speaker 2: a bill, state Bill SB five oh nine, having to

1919
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 2: do with this the you know, whether or not the

1920
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:38,000
Speaker 2: legislators and the Senate and the State Assembly could agree

1921
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 2: to approve a raiders not raiders Oakland A's move to Vegas, right,

1922
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 2: I mean, there have been headlines over the past two

1923
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 2: weeks or two months they announced its ballpark funding as

1924
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 2: a tenet of agreement ballpark renderings, blah blah blah. Valley's

1925
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 2: gaming and leisure properties team up with they for a

1926
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 2: ballpark on Strip. Athletics switched ballpark sites to Strip with

1927
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Stadium Authority oversea possible lays ball. So

1928
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 2: they're acting like it was gonna happen. Well, let me

1929
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 2: tell you, there's a lot of heavy lifting that needed

1930
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:17,719
Speaker 2: to be done. So this passed Monday, when the eighty

1931
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 2: second legislative session adjourned at midnight without even voting on

1932
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 2: whether or not the A's would come to Vegas. To me,

1933
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 2: that's a bit of a red flag, but that doesn't

1934
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 2: mean the end of the world. Because there was a

1935
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:37,559
Speaker 2: little bit of political brinksmanship going on. Our Governor Joe

1936
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: Lombardo said he would not sign any bills implementing the

1937
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 2: state budget until his priorities were passed. And he said

1938
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 2: that in response to the Democratic legislative leaders saying they

1939
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 2: would not move forward with any major policy bills until

1940
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 2: the budget was approved. So he had a bit of

1941
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 2: a standoff, right and Lombardo ten days ago announced a

1942
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 2: vito with the Nevada State budget, and then the Senate

1943
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 2: Dems basically said, there's been a zero bills until the

1944
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 2: budgets approofs. You get it right now. We all knew

1945
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:06,720
Speaker 2: that the only thing that could happen to rectify this

1946
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:10,679
Speaker 2: would be for the governor to declare a special session.

1947
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:18,560
Speaker 2: So follow me on this, okay. The legislative session adjourned

1948
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 2: June fifth, midnight this past Monday with no deal, so

1949
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:25,600
Speaker 2: they had to set up a special session to the

1950
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 2: cost of about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a

1951
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:33,959
Speaker 2: data taxpayers. Well, that special session reconvened. Special session reconvened Wednesday,

1952
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 2: and they had deliberations Wednesday and Thursday. Okay, well Thursday

1953
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 2: did then, so well, either there needs to be a

1954
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 2: vote in the Senate before it can go to the

1955
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 2: State Assembly. There's twenty one state senators and you need

1956
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 2: to have eleven to ten vote for it to happen.

1957
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 2: They didn't have a vote, and it's my understanding that

1958
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 2: behind the scenes the current CALI is eight senators or

1959
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:04,640
Speaker 2: for it, eight are against it, and there's five undecided.

1960
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:08,719
Speaker 2: So they decided to adjourn until Monday Monday. They're gonna

1961
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 2: pick it up again and maybe over the you know,

1962
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:15,360
Speaker 2: the four days Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. You start

1963
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 2: to see the horse creating. You start to see amendments drawn.

1964
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 2: Maybe they sweeten the pot a little bit. There are

1965
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:25,680
Speaker 2: issues on the table which are important to a lot

1966
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 2: of Nevadans, like funding of schools and a children's hospital,

1967
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:33,880
Speaker 2: things of that nature that that, for some people take

1968
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:38,680
Speaker 2: much more priority than the stadium. It took an additional,

1969
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:42,639
Speaker 2: more difficult turn. And keep in mind, look, the Raiders

1970
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 2: were welcomed here with open arms. The Golden Knights were

1971
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:48,280
Speaker 2: welcome with open arms, and they were growing organically. The

1972
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 2: A's showed up uninvited if I'm being honest with hat

1973
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 2: in hand and asking for three hundred and eighty million dollars.

1974
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean they're not gonna end up here someday,

1975
01:47:58,000 --> 01:47:59,640
Speaker 2: and that doesn't mean they wouldn't be supported. I'm just

1976
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,519
Speaker 2: telling the chronology what happened. Here's where it took another

1977
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of a more contentious turn. Nevada Assembly

1978
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 2: Speaker Steve Yeger apparently indicated that he had advised our

1979
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:17,840
Speaker 2: Governor Joel Lombardo to maybe wait a little later in

1980
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 2: the summer to have that special session so that this

1981
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:27,799
Speaker 2: you know, legislation could be further refined. But Governor Bbardo

1982
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:29,599
Speaker 2: said no, he said there's got to be a sense

1983
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 2: of urgency. They got to deal with his bill. And

1984
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 2: the day after the session adjourned, the Majority leader met

1985
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 2: with the governor and they wanted to sort of hash

1986
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 2: this out or we go next, and that's when they

1987
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,759
Speaker 2: agreed to this second special session. Related to the a's

1988
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:50,680
Speaker 2: now again, mister Yeager said he thought it would be

1989
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:52,719
Speaker 2: better to have the special session later in the summer

1990
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:56,240
Speaker 2: because that would give people time to a recover from

1991
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:58,840
Speaker 2: the last session, get back to their families, get back

1992
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:02,280
Speaker 2: to their communities, allow the bill to be further refined,

1993
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 2: and have people you know, more educated. And Jaeger said

1994
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:12,640
Speaker 2: he thought, you know, Lombardo's sudden, you know, sense of

1995
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 2: urgency was surprising because just a few days before, there

1996
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 2: wasn't any sense of urgency because that session was one

1997
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty days, and all of a sudden, there's

1998
01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:26,560
Speaker 2: a sense of urgency. And I think one of the

1999
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 2: one of the key things is obviously that a lot

2000
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 2: of folks don't want this jam through. They don't want

2001
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 2: to rush through there's there's going to be more debates,

2002
01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 2: there's going to be more deliberations, there are people way again.

2003
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, there have been a lot of contentious rhetoric

2004
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:52,679
Speaker 2: right and they've got to hash out this tax district

2005
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 2: and what kind of items are going to be sold

2006
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 2: in this nine acre area where the Stadium of Sports

2007
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 2: and Entertainment district would it in fact truly generate enough

2008
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 2: revenue to pay the debt on the bonds that are

2009
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:07,600
Speaker 2: going to be issued. And so they're going to go

2010
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 2: back on Monday to continue the process and give some

2011
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 2: thoughtful consideration to whether or not this bill will will

2012
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 2: pass in the Senate, and then even if it does,

2013
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 2: it's still got to go through the State Assembly. So

2014
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 2: there's work to be done there. Just since last Saturday

2015
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 2: when I was on the show, there were two or

2016
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 2: three major events that took place that caused this roller

2017
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 2: coaster ride to continue, and I went on with Arnie

2018
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 2: and Steve the Saga Tuesday night. There was more to

2019
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 2: report there, and there's going to be more to report

2020
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:43,479
Speaker 2: after Monday, and this will be I will be I

2021
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 2: will raise an eyebrow if they don't vote on Monday,

2022
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:47,560
Speaker 2: at least in the Senate. That means they don't have

2023
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,720
Speaker 2: the votes, and that means they've run into some far

2024
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 2: more serious opposition that we might have thought. And I

2025
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:00,000
Speaker 2: know that there have been straw polls and public polls,

2026
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 2: and one public poll had seventy percent of the public

2027
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 2: here against it. But that doesn't necessarily mean that politics,

2028
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 2: which can often engender strange bedfellows, doesn't find a way

2029
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:16,040
Speaker 2: to get this done. I'm merely saying that because it's

2030
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 2: been reported erroneously and I think journalistically responsibly over the

2031
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 2: last three months, making it sound like it was a

2032
01:51:23,360 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 2: done deal. You're finding out now that's far from the case.

2033
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,800
Speaker 2: It is not a done deal. But again, don't listen selectively.

2034
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:37,840
Speaker 2: Don't listen selectively. It could still happen. It's just far

2035
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 2: more contentious than some people thought it might have been.

2036
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:44,719
Speaker 2: Stay tuned. Promise you there's going to be more news

2037
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 2: after Monday. Coming up, a particular NFL player is being

2038
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:55,519
Speaker 2: investigated for his gambling policy violation, and this one might

2039
01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 2: be just a little bit more serious. I'll fill you

2040
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 2: in on the details coming up. I'm Bernie Frattlewor Comedy

Speaker 2: Alive from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyrock dot

Speaker 2: com studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening to

Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right

2044
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:15,600
Speaker 2: back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Comedy Alive from the

2045
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyrack dot com Studios. Coming

2046
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 2: up top of the hour of the dance Sensation Sweep

2047
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:24,880
Speaker 2: of the Nation? What kind of brand new food to you?

2048
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 2: Followed by what my name?

2049
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 1: All right?

2050
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 2: So, Pro Football Talk reported that a cornerback for the

2051
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts by the name of Isaiah Rodgers could potentially

2052
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 2: face a lifetime ban Why well, first of all, magnal

2053
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 2: mistake Commissioner Roger Goodell, Emperor Roger Goodell, King Goodell has

2054
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:52,560
Speaker 2: the unilateral authority over all gambling related cases in the

2055
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:56,160
Speaker 2: league's gambling policy, does actually give him the right to

2056
01:52:56,320 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 2: kick Rogers out of the league? Now? Discipline disciplinary action

2057
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 2: could also include you know, fines, suspensions all the way

2058
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 2: up to banishment for life. So I guess It's been

2059
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaker 2: reported by multiple sources that Isaiah Rodgers placed hundreds of bets,

2060
01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:24,760
Speaker 2: primarily in the fifty dollars range. And we don't know.

2061
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:30,760
Speaker 2: I don't know until they release the actual findings, which

2062
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:35,960
Speaker 2: they may or may not do if any of those

2063
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:40,600
Speaker 2: bets involved betting on the NFL or god forbid his

2064
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 2: own team. Now, you've noticed the NFL's cracked down on

2065
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 2: gambling within the league in recent years, but no player

2066
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 2: has been suspended for life. Okay, there have been players

2067
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 2: suspended indefinitely that just happened in May. You know about

2068
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lion situation. And of course last year Calvin

2069
01:53:57,360 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 2: Ridley missed the entire season wide receivers. He's on his

2070
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 2: way to Tampa Bay. He's getting reinstated now for betting

2071
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:07,400
Speaker 2: a game. It was like a five team parlay, and

2072
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:09,680
Speaker 2: part of the parlay where the Atlanta Falcons, which is

2073
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:15,000
Speaker 2: a team he was on. Look, at least that's my understanding. Okay.

2074
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:19,040
Speaker 2: Rogers released the statement taking responsibility for his actions, but

2075
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 2: seem to imply he believes he'll play again in the league,

2076
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:24,680
Speaker 2: and he acknowledge he's let people down, He's been an

2077
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 2: error in judgment. He's going to work hard to make

2078
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 2: sure his mistakes you're recorified. He doesn't take it lightly. Look,

2079
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:33,720
Speaker 2: he sounds he's saying all the right things. Right, he's

2080
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 2: saying all the right things. What I will you know,

2081
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:39,879
Speaker 2: we just did the thing about thirty minutes ago. What's annoying,

2082
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:43,960
Speaker 2: you know, what's annoying to me is has anybody been

2083
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:48,760
Speaker 2: paying attention? How do players not know at this point

2084
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 2: the parameters of the league's gambling policy because these violators

2085
01:54:53,320 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 2: trigger penalties. You're gambling. Let me just lay it out

2086
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:01,320
Speaker 2: for you. Okay, let me lay it out for you.

2087
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 2: And I know this is a little weird because most

2088
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:07,400
Speaker 2: teams have an official betting sponsor. You get fifteen states

2089
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 2: with NFL teams that have a fully online sports gambling.

2090
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:14,840
Speaker 2: The Caesar A Superdome is named after a freaking casino company. Okay.

2091
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:19,640
Speaker 2: A lot of the stadiums have betting kiosks inside, and

2092
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 2: the NFL does realize, okay, And do we have a

2093
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 2: problem though? I think there's seventeen hundred NFL players they're

2094
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:27,600
Speaker 2: since April that have been five that have been suspended

2095
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 2: five okay, not not one thousand and five. Now, the

2096
01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 2: NFL knows these guys are adults and they're human, and

2097
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 2: so I would bet you, honest to God, fifty sixty

2098
01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 2: seventy eighty percent or more like to throw a shekel

2099
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 2: down now and then as part of their entertainment. They're

2100
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:50,680
Speaker 2: adrenaline junkies. It enhances a viewing participation of sports, bragging rights,

2101
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. Hey, I told the story

2102
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:54,640
Speaker 2: a thousand times when I was covering the Tigers back

2103
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 2: in nineteen checked that two thousand and four. Walked into

2104
01:55:57,680 --> 01:55:59,400
Speaker 2: the clubhouse one day and I heard all kinds of

2105
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 2: yelling and screaming and drop an F bomb, said, what's

2106
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:05,200
Speaker 2: going on in there? Well, they're having their Fantasy Football

2107
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 2: League draft. All right, let's Steve mystify for the umpteenth time.

2108
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:16,600
Speaker 2: And maybe there's some NFL players listening right now. Listen closely.

2109
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:20,280
Speaker 2: Lets Steve mystify this. If you are a player in

2110
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 2: the National Football League, do not bet on the NFL. Period,

2111
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:26,680
Speaker 2: No way, I know how, Not now, not never, any time, anywhere.

2112
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:31,240
Speaker 2: You will be found out. Big brother is watching. You

2113
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 2: can bet other sports you want to bet, college basketball,

2114
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 2: female full contact, karate, golf, bowling, whatever, all of them.

2115
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 2: Just don't bet the NFL. But oh, by the way,

2116
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 2: if you're going to bet those other sports, don't do

2117
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 2: it at any team facility. And facilities include the team playing,

2118
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:52,120
Speaker 2: the team hotel. While you're traveling. You're on a road trip,

2119
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 2: the practice facility, the weight room, the sauna, the stadium

2120
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 2: where you play. Don't do it. Do it on your

2121
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 2: own at home. If you want to bet the US

2122
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:07,440
Speaker 2: Open next week at home and you know in private

2123
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 2: you're allowed, don't do it at team facilities. Ignorance of

2124
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 2: the law is not a defense. If you're betting on

2125
01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:21,240
Speaker 2: an app, you're going to create metadata. There are orgzations

2126
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:27,240

2128
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:33,480
Speaker 2: if you are an employee of the NFL, you are

2129
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 2: a non player. Don't bet on anything. I don't care

2130
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:41,520
Speaker 2: if you're the chief cooking bottle washer, you're the team trainer, secretary,

01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:48,160
Speaker 2: security guard, quality control. Don't bet on anything. If your

2132
01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:51,800
Speaker 2: life requires betting, then don't work in the NFL because

2133
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 2: you are asking for it. How simple is it? How

2134
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 2: difficult is it to understand and comprehend and follow what

2135
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 2: I just said. It's as simple as that. Will there

01:58:02,160 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 2: be more suspensions probably, maybe they think they're above the law.

2137
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:08,640

2150
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 2: phenomenons in life where, you know, in the course of

2151
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 2: human events, people just do things. They do things that

2152
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 2: are sometimes nefarious and criminal and dangerous, and sometimes they

2153
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:08,520
Speaker 2: do things that are somewhat, you know, fairly innocuous. Sometimes

2154
01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:10,800
Speaker 2: they break the laws. Sometimes they're not breaking the law.

2155
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about those odd, stupid, crazy behaviors that,

2156
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:18,280
Speaker 2: no matter what they involve, they always leave you scratching

2157

2158

Speaker 2: and reaching into those displays to grab phones. Store's owner

2173
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:33,240
Speaker 2: said the incident happened around four am on a Saturday

2174
02:00:34,040 --> 02:00:36,880
Speaker 2: when he saw the man's face on the surveillance video

2175
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:40,240
Speaker 2: and started to investigate around the plaza where the business

2176
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:42,840
Speaker 2: is located. He asked some people to let him know

2177
02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 2: if anybody had seen the suspect, and in time they

2178
02:00:47,480 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 2: found the culprit because he was clicking along well, having

2179
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:57,960
Speaker 2: his way, and then all of a sudden they saw

2180
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 2: his face because he took the box off his head. Well,

2181
02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:07,960
Speaker 2: this whole thing is crazy. He was charged with grand theft, burglary, burglary,

2182

Speaker 2: criminal mischief, cocaine possession, and resisting an officer without violence.

2183
02:01:14,120 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 2: By the way, quite a little haul for this gentleman.

2184
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:22,840
Speaker 2: He stole thirteen no check that nineteen iPhones and eight

2185
02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:27,840
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in cash, but he took the box off

2186
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:31,680
Speaker 2: his head. Let me count the ways, mister Griffin, what

2187
02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:37,120
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool are you? Patrick Sweek? You're

2188
02:01:37,120 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 2: our buddy, all.

2189
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Right, Bernie, Well that was a good one, and that

2190
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:42,720
Speaker 1: was quite the story.

2191
02:01:43,160 --> 02:01:44,920
Speaker 3: I have a bit of a shorter one because I

2192
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,800
Speaker 3: was gonna talk about the e Connor McGregor thing, but

Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the backup here.

2196
02:01:53,440 --> 02:01:56,280
Speaker 3: It's a little more. It's funnier. We're gonna take us

2201
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:18,240
Speaker 3: their ice cream.

2202
02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:21,200
Speaker 1: So boo, boo from this Bertha.

2203
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 3: It's alleged that mister Ellis also filled large garbage bags

2204
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:30,200
Speaker 3: with a bunch of items from the daycare center before

2205
02:02:30,280 --> 02:02:31,839
Speaker 3: exiting the daycare.

2206
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Security cameras helped identified.

2207

02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:41,919
Speaker 3: took about one hundred dollars in goods and as of Tuesday.

2209
02:02:42,080 --> 02:02:44,320
Speaker 3: As of this last Tuesday, he is still in jail

Speaker 3: and waiting his first court appearance with felony charge of

2211
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 3: breaking and entering. So, mister Pius Regius Ellis, what kind

2212
02:02:53,240 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 3: of brand new fool are you, sir?

2213
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:56,480
Speaker 2: And all over drinking milk?

2214
02:02:57,320 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 1: All over drinking milk and ice cream? You can't forget

2215
02:02:59,520 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 1: the ice cream?

2216
02:03:00,440 --> 02:03:02,960
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, I can't forget the edekam all right? Good one, Patrick,

2217
02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:05,240
Speaker 2: all right, mister Kevin Wyatt, what do you got for

2218
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 2: us this week?

2219
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:09,120
Speaker 8: Well, we all we have all taken a wrong turn

2220
02:03:09,320 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 8: or two at times when trying to drive around, figure

2221
02:03:11,960 --> 02:03:14,280
Speaker 8: out GPS and all that. Well, this one was costly

2222
02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:17,400
Speaker 8: for one American man. He has been arrested by the

2223
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 8: Royal Canadian Mounted Police after making a wrong turn and

2224
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:23,000
Speaker 8: ending up in a line to cross the Canadian border.

2225
02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:26,320
Speaker 8: While in possession of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth

2226
02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 8: of cannabis and a large amount of cash. On Friday,

2227
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:32,800
Speaker 8: the six year old mail driver was following GPS coordinates

2228
02:03:32,840 --> 02:03:35,840
Speaker 8: that he'd entered improperly and he took a wrong turn

2229
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:38,200
Speaker 8: ended up into the border lineup at the Canadian Border

2230
02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:43,360
Speaker 8: Services Agency Rainbow bridgeport of entry at Niagara Falls, and

2231
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:45,440
Speaker 8: since he didn't have a passport, he was referred to

2232
02:03:45,640 --> 02:03:49,160
Speaker 8: secondary examination where they found one hundred and eighty one

2233
02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:53,640
Speaker 8: kilograms worth of cannabis stored in various parts.

2234
02:03:53,360 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 2: Of oh body.

2235
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:58,000
Speaker 8: Cavity search just throughout the vehicle is what it says,

2236
02:03:58,080 --> 02:04:05,600
Speaker 8: and over go ahead, and over eight grand worth of cash.

2237
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:09,879
Speaker 8: And he was a local from here in California, from Tustin.

2238
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:12,680
Speaker 8: He's been charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose

2239
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:16,640
Speaker 8: of distribution, importing one hundred and eighty one kilograms into

2240
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 8: the country, and possession of proceeds of properly a property

2241
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:22,800
Speaker 8: over five grand, knowing that all are part of the

2242
02:04:22,880 --> 02:04:26,360
Speaker 8: proceeds of property was obtained by crime. Those are the

2243
02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:28,520
Speaker 8: charges he's facing. And just to keep in mind that

2244
02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 8: it is a legal jurisdiction for cannabis use. However, they

2245
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:34,120
Speaker 8: do have limits on the amount you're allowed to have,

2246
02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 8: and I don't think you're allowed to import it in

2247
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:38,360
Speaker 8: the country. So that wrong term proved to be a

2248
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 8: costly one because he is in jail awaiting a court hearing.

2249
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:45,480
Speaker 8: So Andrew Lee Toppenberg of Tustin, California, what kind of

2250
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:46,240
Speaker 8: brand new fool are you?

2251

Speaker 6: You know?

2252
02:04:46,920 --> 02:04:49,480

2253
02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:51,160
Speaker 2: let us. That's why I'd eat the ice cream and

2254

Speaker 2: my screen and.

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio here in Las Vegas ninety eight point

2410
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:22,240
Speaker 2: nine FM thirteen forty AM, the station I'm broadcasting on

2411
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:27,760
Speaker 2: right now. You gotta love it. The Golden Knights six

2412
02:14:27,840 --> 02:14:31,440
Speaker 2: years ago. That go back six years June of twenty seventeen.

2413
02:14:32,120 --> 02:14:36,240
Speaker 2: They weren't even born yet. They signed on played Dallas

2414
02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:41,400
Speaker 2: in October of twenty seventeen, went on to advance to

2415
02:14:41,520 --> 02:14:45,680
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Finals their inaugural year. Then, of course,

2416
02:14:46,800 --> 02:14:51,320
Speaker 2: somehow managed to beat Washington in Game one. They went

2417
02:14:51,360 --> 02:14:54,400
Speaker 2: on to lose ad series, but what an amazing accomplishment.

2418
02:14:54,880 --> 02:14:57,880
Speaker 2: Second year they had to play off Debacco against San Jose.

2419
02:14:58,680 --> 02:15:02,760
Speaker 2: Year three, I believe they lost to Dallas. Year four

2420
02:15:02,880 --> 02:15:06,200
Speaker 2: Montreal year five was a rough year, no playoffs. But

2421
02:15:06,360 --> 02:15:08,600
Speaker 2: this year, year six or under, the third coach now

2422
02:15:09,560 --> 02:15:13,360
Speaker 2: their coach, Butch Cassidy, Bruce Cassidy, six year coach in

2423
02:15:13,440 --> 02:15:16,200
Speaker 2: Boston before he got to Las Vegas, has done a

2424
02:15:16,400 --> 02:15:19,720
Speaker 2: phenomenal job. Perhaps the story of the playoffs to me

2425
02:15:20,040 --> 02:15:24,760
Speaker 2: is Aiden Hill, our fourth string goalie who is acquired

2426
02:15:24,840 --> 02:15:29,080
Speaker 2: by the Golden Knights in but then earlier this year

2427
02:15:29,200 --> 02:15:31,120
Speaker 2: from San Jose for a fourth round draft choice. I

2428
02:15:31,160 --> 02:15:33,400
Speaker 2: believe he deserves the cons might if it ends today.

2429
02:15:34,640 --> 02:15:38,760
Speaker 2: You know, there's an old saying when you know, if

2430
02:15:38,800 --> 02:15:40,360
Speaker 2: you can't make your mind, give it to the goalie,

2431
02:15:40,480 --> 02:15:43,840
Speaker 2: and he deserves it. And I know it's a playoff award,

2432
02:15:43,960 --> 02:15:46,800
Speaker 2: meaning it's designed for the most valuable player throughout the

2433
02:15:46,840 --> 02:15:50,400
Speaker 2: whole playoffs, but it's heavily weighted toward the Stanley Cup finals.

2434
02:15:51,280 --> 02:15:55,560
Speaker 2: I think he is very well deserving. A couple of

2435
02:15:55,640 --> 02:15:59,840
Speaker 2: other bits of business here. Now, the Denver Nuggets all

2436
02:16:00,080 --> 02:16:05,640
Speaker 2: so are playing Monday Night, and I think it's worth

2437
02:16:05,720 --> 02:16:10,360
Speaker 2: noting that it wasn't all that long ago that the

2438
02:16:10,440 --> 02:16:14,160
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets were seventeen and sixty five, and when the

2439
02:16:14,240 --> 02:16:16,160
Speaker 2: fans voted on their favorite nugget at the end of

2440
02:16:16,200 --> 02:16:20,480
Speaker 2: the year, guess who won. Yeah, Rocky the mascot, and

2441
02:16:21,080 --> 02:16:24,480
Speaker 2: the Nuggets still don't really one hundred percent get their flowers.

2442
02:16:24,520 --> 02:16:27,000
Speaker 2: You hear them people be grudgingly saying it. There's certain

2443
02:16:27,080 --> 02:16:29,360
Speaker 2: media people I'm not going to name names. There's this

2444
02:16:29,520 --> 02:16:33,280
Speaker 2: pained look on their face. I don't care how incredibly

2445
02:16:33,959 --> 02:16:39,360
Speaker 2: impactful and resourceful and productive. Look at the results that

2446
02:16:39,560 --> 02:16:44,360
Speaker 2: Jokic produces, just amazing, breaking records that were held by

2447
02:16:44,360 --> 02:16:47,280
Speaker 2: wil Chamberlain sixty years ago. You know you still have

2448
02:16:47,440 --> 02:16:52,240
Speaker 2: the caveat all. Well, but he's not that athletic. Okay, really, well,

2449
02:16:52,400 --> 02:16:54,760
Speaker 2: maybe you can trade for Derek Jones junior. He can

2450
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:58,160
Speaker 2: run and jump like nobody's business. He's athletic. Would he

2451
02:16:58,280 --> 02:17:00,840
Speaker 2: produce the same results? I think you know the answer

2452
02:17:00,920 --> 02:17:05,800
Speaker 2: to that question. So give Denver their flowers Monday night.

2453
02:17:06,360 --> 02:17:08,160
Speaker 2: I believe they will wrap this thing up and win

2454
02:17:08,240 --> 02:17:11,160
Speaker 2: it all right. I think they'll beat Miami by double digits,

2455
02:17:11,600 --> 02:17:14,320
Speaker 2: just the way it is. Jimmy Butler. By the way,

2456
02:17:14,320 --> 02:17:17,160
Speaker 2: it's been a fabulous run for Miami, led by Jimmy Butler.

2457
02:17:18,440 --> 02:17:20,680
Speaker 2: I think he's tired, or maybe he's affected by the

2458
02:17:20,720 --> 02:17:23,440
Speaker 2: ankle spraying back in the second round. He hasn't been

2459
02:17:23,480 --> 02:17:25,880
Speaker 2: the same. He hasn't really been the killer he was

2460
02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:28,480
Speaker 2: earlier in the playoffs. He's averaging twenty one points a

2461
02:17:28,560 --> 02:17:31,440
Speaker 2: game in the finals, but hell, he had ninety eight

2462
02:17:31,560 --> 02:17:34,280
Speaker 2: in the final two games against Milwaukee to help steal

2463
02:17:34,320 --> 02:17:36,720
Speaker 2: that series. Beam at a Baio has been very good,

2464
02:17:36,760 --> 02:17:38,800
Speaker 2: but he's not the type of guy that complete can

2465
02:17:38,879 --> 02:17:41,360
Speaker 2: put the heat on his back and force the game six. Right.

2466
02:17:42,080 --> 02:17:45,160
Speaker 2: I think it'll be reminiscent of the way Denver has

2467
02:17:45,480 --> 02:17:47,560
Speaker 2: closed out their series. When they need to close him out,

2468
02:17:47,560 --> 02:17:49,880
Speaker 2: they remember they hammered Phoenix won twenty five to one hundred.

2469
02:17:50,600 --> 02:17:52,200
Speaker 2: I think the Heat will put up a fight, but

2470
02:17:52,320 --> 02:17:55,000
Speaker 2: at the end they lose by double digits. I think

2471
02:17:55,120 --> 02:17:58,720
Speaker 2: you are going to see Yokick and Jamal Murray make

2472
02:17:58,760 --> 02:18:01,600
Speaker 2: a statement. They're going to combine, they might get seventy

2473
02:18:01,640 --> 02:18:05,120
Speaker 2: points between them. They might get twenty five cysts between them. Youka,

2474
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:08,120
Speaker 2: because they averaging thirty one for the playoffs, right, and

2475
02:18:08,280 --> 02:18:10,879
Speaker 2: what's what's Murray averaging like twenty three to twenty four

2476
02:18:11,400 --> 02:18:15,840
Speaker 2: and like ten assists. Look, they're gonna make a statement.

2477
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:19,160
Speaker 2: I believe that as such Denver And by the way,

2478
02:18:19,280 --> 02:18:24,640
Speaker 2: Denver's defenses has improved throughout the series, and I think

2479
02:18:24,680 --> 02:18:27,880
Speaker 2: their defense is just as responsible for pushing the Heat

2480
02:18:27,920 --> 02:18:30,400
Speaker 2: to the brink of the brink of elimination. They got

2481
02:18:30,400 --> 02:18:34,040
Speaker 2: a one toh eight defensive rating in the series. Cleveland

2482
02:18:34,120 --> 02:18:36,640
Speaker 2: and the entire year had the best defense in the NBA.

2483
02:18:36,720 --> 02:18:38,480
Speaker 2: They averaged one on nine, so they're near the top.

2484
02:18:39,080 --> 02:18:42,080
Speaker 2: The Nuggets have held the Heat to ninety three, ninety four,

2485
02:18:42,200 --> 02:18:45,320
Speaker 2: ninety five points respectably in the three games in the series.

2486
02:18:45,680 --> 02:18:48,199
Speaker 2: Don't be surprised if the Heat don't even score ninety

2487
02:18:48,920 --> 02:18:54,040
Speaker 2: on Monday Night. Just saying, all right, coming up, so

2488
02:18:54,200 --> 02:18:57,920
Speaker 2: much to talk about Chris Purfett's world of soccer, not

2489
02:18:58,040 --> 02:19:01,320
Speaker 2: the least of which the Big MESSI. He's not MESSI,

2490
02:19:01,440 --> 02:19:04,960
Speaker 2: his name is MESSI. Happening at the MLS in Miami

2491
02:19:05,200 --> 02:19:08,000
Speaker 2: and Chris has much more. But first let's go back

2492

2534
02:21:14,879 --> 02:21:18,039
Speaker 2: world of sports, and certainly in the world of soccer.

2535
02:21:18,120 --> 02:21:23,360
Speaker 2: Each week at this time we certainly cover what has

2536
02:21:23,440 --> 02:21:27,400
Speaker 2: increasingly become more and more newsworthy having to do with

2537
02:21:27,520 --> 02:21:30,720
Speaker 2: events in the sport that a lot of the world

2538
02:21:30,800 --> 02:21:34,840
Speaker 2: calls football. We call it soccer. We bring you Chris

2539
02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:36,720
Speaker 2: Purfetts World of Soccer.

2540
02:21:38,120 --> 02:21:49,000
Speaker 10: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

2541
02:21:50,720 --> 02:21:56,640
Speaker 1: Him. It's all here in this report from the World

2542
02:21:56,760 --> 02:21:57,360
Speaker 1: of Soccer.

2543
02:21:57,800 --> 02:22:01,039
Speaker 5: It would be a complete understatement to describe the arrival

2544
02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:06,440
Speaker 5: of worldwide superstar Leonel Messi to Major League Soccer as

2545
02:22:06,520 --> 02:22:09,960
Speaker 5: a coup for the league. This is something that is

2546
02:22:10,200 --> 02:22:14,160
Speaker 5: quite honestly huge for MLS, especially in the modern era.

2547
02:22:14,800 --> 02:22:17,600
Speaker 5: Trying to describe Lionel Messi to those who don't know soccer,

2548
02:22:17,720 --> 02:22:20,880
Speaker 5: even on a cursory inspection, would be trying to describe

2549
02:22:21,280 --> 02:22:24,600
Speaker 5: Tom Cruise to someone who has never watched movies, and

2550
02:22:24,720 --> 02:22:28,400
Speaker 5: even then I am probably failing at that example. To

2551
02:22:28,520 --> 02:22:32,040
Speaker 5: put into perspective the social media footprint the fame of

2552
02:22:32,160 --> 02:22:35,200
Speaker 5: Leonel Messi, we would have to take all of the

2553
02:22:35,320 --> 02:22:39,160
Speaker 5: clubs of MLS on Instagram, all thirty of them, take

2554
02:22:39,200 --> 02:22:42,520
Speaker 5: their combined followers and multiply it by a factor of three,

2555
02:22:43,040 --> 02:22:46,279
Speaker 5: and we are still not close to eclipsing Leonel Messi's

2556
02:22:46,640 --> 02:22:50,640
Speaker 5: Instagram followers at four hundred and seventy million. Now we're

2557
02:22:50,640 --> 02:22:53,480
Speaker 5: still waiting for final details on this deal. They haven't

2558
02:22:53,480 --> 02:22:55,960
Speaker 5: signed anything yet. Messi says he intends to play in

2559
02:22:56,040 --> 02:22:59,800
Speaker 5: the MLS club Inter Miami, but it is coming on

2560
02:22:59,840 --> 02:23:03,840
Speaker 5: the heels of a of several suitors for Lionel Messi.

2561
02:23:04,280 --> 02:23:07,120
Speaker 5: As always, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who just kicked

2562
02:23:07,120 --> 02:23:10,480
Speaker 5: six hundred and fifty million dollars the way of Currim

2563
02:23:10,520 --> 02:23:14,400
Speaker 5: Benzema to play for the Arabian club Al Etihad, was

2564
02:23:14,480 --> 02:23:17,760
Speaker 5: prepared to offer Lionel Messi even more money than that.

2565
02:23:18,000 --> 02:23:20,360
Speaker 5: I can't even imagine what that would have been. And

2566
02:23:20,959 --> 02:23:23,160
Speaker 5: there was interest for Leonel Messi to return to his

2567
02:23:23,320 --> 02:23:25,880
Speaker 5: longtime club of Barcelona. Now that is stunt with stint

2568
02:23:25,959 --> 02:23:29,480
Speaker 5: with Paris Saint Jermaine is over. However, finances on the

2569
02:23:29,640 --> 02:23:33,520
Speaker 5: side of Barka makes that an unreality. Lionel Messi himself

2570
02:23:33,600 --> 02:23:35,960
Speaker 5: said that he didn't want to return to Barcelona if

2571
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:37,880
Speaker 5: it meant some of those other players would have to

2572
02:23:37,920 --> 02:23:39,960
Speaker 5: take less money, or if they would have to be

2573
02:23:40,040 --> 02:23:43,480
Speaker 5: shipped out of town. The finances of Barcelona remain a

2574
02:23:43,640 --> 02:23:46,600
Speaker 5: very thorny issue for them. They have pulled themselves out

2575
02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:48,960
Speaker 5: of that tailspin which saw them sell Messi off in

2576
02:23:49,080 --> 02:23:52,000
Speaker 5: the first place, and it continues to remain a problem

2577
02:23:52,080 --> 02:23:56,320
Speaker 5: as they tried to comply with Laliga's new quasi salary cap.

2578
02:23:56,680 --> 02:23:59,000
Speaker 5: We'll talk about them another day, but just to be clear,

2579
02:23:59,240 --> 02:24:03,080
Speaker 5: Lionel Messi's heart still remains in Barcelona, in that club,

2580
02:24:03,320 --> 02:24:05,280
Speaker 5: but by his own words, he's ready to enter a

2581
02:24:05,320 --> 02:24:07,840
Speaker 5: new phase of his life now. Instead, Messi will play

2582
02:24:07,920 --> 02:24:12,320
Speaker 5: in America. Messi will play in America. Who knows the

2583
02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:15,440
Speaker 5: sport of soccer. In spite of the protest of several

2584
02:24:15,480 --> 02:24:18,480
Speaker 5: people who get to talk into microphones sometimes about sports,

2585
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,240
Speaker 5: America knows soccer. This country is no longer the country

2586
02:24:22,280 --> 02:24:25,920
Speaker 5: that Pele came over to seeking to convert people. There

2587
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:28,160
Speaker 5: is a good number of people who enjoy it, and

2588
02:24:28,280 --> 02:24:32,040
Speaker 5: it is evidenced on stub Hub, where on the secondary's

2589
02:24:32,080 --> 02:24:36,320
Speaker 5: ticket market, average ticket prices have jumped for Miami four

2590
02:24:36,360 --> 02:24:39,400
Speaker 5: and a half times, from about twenty four dollars to

2591
02:24:39,480 --> 02:24:43,119
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty four dollars. These ticket price increases

2592
02:24:43,160 --> 02:24:46,400
Speaker 5: have been going up dramatically. Everyone wants to come to

2593
02:24:46,440 --> 02:24:49,240
Speaker 5: Miami to watch this man play. The social media footprint

2594
02:24:49,320 --> 02:24:52,199
Speaker 5: for inter Miami has skyrocketed as well.

2595
02:24:52,600 --> 02:24:52,840
Speaker 1: Also.

2596
02:24:52,879 --> 02:24:56,400
Speaker 5: According to Fanatics, inter Miami is now a top five

2597
02:24:56,520 --> 02:24:59,880
Speaker 5: selling team across all sports. In their March and Die

2598
02:25:00,560 --> 02:25:03,760
Speaker 5: and Inter Miami, he has sold more merchandise since Wednesday

2599
02:25:04,040 --> 02:25:07,000
Speaker 5: than the previous two months combined. This in spite of

2600
02:25:07,040 --> 02:25:09,400
Speaker 5: the fact that they haven't even printed a Lionel Messi

2601
02:25:09,560 --> 02:25:12,920
Speaker 5: jersey yet. And it's easy to see why. Not only

2602
02:25:13,080 --> 02:25:18,720
Speaker 5: is Messi at international superstar a celebrity of every level,

2603
02:25:18,879 --> 02:25:21,840
Speaker 5: not just in sports, but he also is coming over

2604
02:25:21,879 --> 02:25:23,560
Speaker 5: an age where he still has a lot in the

2605
02:25:23,680 --> 02:25:26,840
Speaker 5: tank to play this game. It is not one of

2606
02:25:26,920 --> 02:25:30,959
Speaker 5: these retirement leagues for a aging star. He is well,

2607
02:25:31,120 --> 02:25:34,320
Speaker 5: he is getting a lot of money. Don't get that betwisted.

2608
02:25:34,360 --> 02:25:37,760
Speaker 5: We'll talk about that in a second, but we're not

2609
02:25:37,879 --> 02:25:41,160
Speaker 5: that far aroove from Messi's World Cup run, and it's

2610
02:25:41,200 --> 02:25:43,360
Speaker 5: clear that he continues to want to play the sport.

2611
02:25:43,600 --> 02:25:45,920
Speaker 5: So Messi wants to come to America and MLS is

2612
02:25:45,959 --> 02:25:48,119
Speaker 5: more than glad to have it. How can they even

2613
02:25:48,240 --> 02:25:50,440
Speaker 5: make this work if you were able to stave off

2614
02:25:50,520 --> 02:25:53,840
Speaker 5: close to a billion dollars from the Saudi League. Well,

2615
02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:56,360
Speaker 5: in much the same way that David Beckham once came

2616
02:25:56,400 --> 02:26:00,439
Speaker 5: to MLS, I find that his particular path to America

2617
02:26:00,840 --> 02:26:03,720
Speaker 5: is one that Messi will probably follow. In case we

2618
02:26:03,840 --> 02:26:07,480
Speaker 5: forget David Beckham was gaining a lot of interest across

2619
02:26:07,640 --> 02:26:10,680
Speaker 5: Europe when he decided to join the upstart American League.

2620
02:26:11,320 --> 02:26:14,760
Speaker 5: Many in Europe baffled about the decision, but his MLS

2621
02:26:14,879 --> 02:26:17,400
Speaker 5: earnings over the years showed that he had a unique

2622
02:26:17,440 --> 02:26:21,279
Speaker 5: contract where he gained revenue sharing, sponsorships and endorsement deals,

2623
02:26:21,600 --> 02:26:23,840
Speaker 5: and over the course of five years in MLS, he

2624
02:26:23,879 --> 02:26:26,800
Speaker 5: made two hundred and fifty five million dollars. At the

2625
02:26:26,879 --> 02:26:29,000
Speaker 5: end of that he ended up paying a twenty five

2626
02:26:29,040 --> 02:26:32,160
Speaker 5: million dollar expansion fee to own a club which is

2627
02:26:32,200 --> 02:26:35,680
Speaker 5: now worth six hundred million. That's right, inter Miami, that

2628
02:26:35,920 --> 02:26:38,200
Speaker 5: club's value is about to go way up with the

2629
02:26:38,480 --> 02:26:42,040
Speaker 5: addition of Lionel Messi and that gives us a pretty

2630
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:44,200
Speaker 5: good starting ground for what we can expect on how

2631
02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:48,200
Speaker 5: MLS can pay Lionel Messi, because, make no mistake, the

2632
02:26:48,320 --> 02:26:51,440
Speaker 5: league itself, as a single entity league will be helping

2633
02:26:51,640 --> 02:26:55,920
Speaker 5: Enter Miami to carry the load for Messi's contract, and

2634
02:26:56,000 --> 02:26:59,000
Speaker 5: so will some other very big name players. We have

2635
02:26:59,120 --> 02:27:02,560
Speaker 5: to reemphasize his contracts. Not finally yet, but I've heard

2636
02:27:02,680 --> 02:27:05,680
Speaker 5: rumblings that includes things like there's going to be revenue

2637
02:27:05,720 --> 02:27:08,120
Speaker 5: sharing much like it within to Miami, much like it

2638
02:27:08,240 --> 02:27:11,880
Speaker 5: was when David Beckham came to La Galaxy. Adidas, to

2639
02:27:11,959 --> 02:27:16,920
Speaker 5: whom pays a lifetime contract to Lionel Messi for sponsorship

2640
02:27:17,040 --> 02:27:20,880
Speaker 5: rights has also been pinned to this particular deal where

2641
02:27:20,920 --> 02:27:24,119
Speaker 5: they would send some money his way, and Apple, who

2642
02:27:24,240 --> 02:27:27,240
Speaker 5: owns who on Apple TV, owns the rights for streaming

2643
02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:31,039
Speaker 5: for MLS, seems ready to pitch money to Messi as

2644
02:27:31,120 --> 02:27:34,480
Speaker 5: well because they intend to ride this wave quite well

2645
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:37,280
Speaker 5: in the streaming age with people wanting to pick up

2646
02:27:37,360 --> 02:27:40,640
Speaker 5: their season pass on MLS to watch Lionel Messi, and

2647
02:27:40,720 --> 02:27:43,080
Speaker 5: in fact, some rumors I've heard says he might even

2648
02:27:43,160 --> 02:27:46,120
Speaker 5: get a cut of the streaming of the streaming revenue

2649
02:27:46,240 --> 02:27:49,760
Speaker 5: from Apple he's absolutely following the David Beckham model, where

2650
02:27:49,800 --> 02:27:53,360
Speaker 5: he is using his chance, using his star power and

2651
02:27:53,600 --> 02:27:57,480
Speaker 5: the draw that brings in to MLS to fuel his

2652
02:27:57,640 --> 02:28:00,880
Speaker 5: own finances. So while his base contract might be lower,

2653
02:28:01,120 --> 02:28:03,480
Speaker 5: it will still be incredibly substantial and MLS will have

2654
02:28:03,560 --> 02:28:06,400
Speaker 5: to bend their rules to make it work. But he

2655
02:28:06,520 --> 02:28:09,560
Speaker 5: will also get a lot of money from the revenue sharing.

2656
02:28:09,800 --> 02:28:12,400
Speaker 5: And that's the value of a superstar like Lionel Messi

2657
02:28:12,640 --> 02:28:16,480
Speaker 5: for himself in coming to America, as for America, America

2658
02:28:16,560 --> 02:28:20,640
Speaker 5: gets to enjoy a superstar, a genuine god among men.

2659
02:28:21,160 --> 02:28:21,840
Speaker 1: I can't wait.

2660
02:28:22,320 --> 02:28:26,000
Speaker 5: This is entering a very exciting time for MLS, for

2661
02:28:26,200 --> 02:28:29,560
Speaker 5: Inter Miami, and for Lionel Messi, and of course for

2662
02:28:29,640 --> 02:28:30,480
Speaker 5: the world of soccer.

2663
02:28:31,280 --> 02:28:34,320
Speaker 2: And of course Messi will make his debut July twenty. First,

2664
02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:38,200
Speaker 2: we're not you who it's against. There's already clamoring for tickets,

2665
02:28:38,680 --> 02:28:41,440
Speaker 2: look for that franchise. All right, we're wrapping it up

2666
02:28:41,760 --> 02:28:44,119
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattle Show. We're coming you live from

2667
02:28:44,200 --> 02:28:49,240
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas tirerac dot Com studios of Fox Sports Radio.

2668
02:28:49,240 --> 02:28:51,440
Speaker 2: Before we go any further, I want to think my

2669
02:28:51,560 --> 02:28:55,000
Speaker 2: broadcast team. They've been with me since eleven pm Pacific

2670
02:28:55,720 --> 02:28:59,039
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, turning all the dials, keeping us glued together.

2671
02:28:59,120 --> 02:29:02,560
Speaker 2: Of course, Mark Rams, our technical producer, Kevin Wyatt on

2672
02:29:02,640 --> 02:29:07,560
Speaker 2: the updates, Patrick Sweeka, and my guy Ethan Miller joins

2673
02:29:07,680 --> 02:29:11,120
Speaker 2: us as we wrap up the show. Teamwork, guys, great

2674
02:29:11,200 --> 02:29:19,080
Speaker 2: job appreciated, all right. The NFL calendar has benchmarks, and

2675
02:29:19,240 --> 02:29:24,640
Speaker 2: in June they're getting through with you know, OTAs, organized

2676
02:29:24,680 --> 02:29:28,160
Speaker 2: team activities and mini camps, and then you're looking ahead

2677
02:29:28,160 --> 02:29:32,720
Speaker 2: of July when real camps start. But usually by now

2678
02:29:32,920 --> 02:29:35,320
Speaker 2: you have an idea who's going to be on Hard

2679
02:29:35,400 --> 02:29:39,040
Speaker 2: Knocks in the NFL. I mean, by this time last year,

2680
02:29:39,040 --> 02:29:40,480
Speaker 2: we knew the Detroit Lions were going to be on

2681
02:29:40,520 --> 02:29:45,360
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks. Here's what's interesting, though you may or may

2682
02:29:45,400 --> 02:29:47,280
Speaker 2: not know this. Your may or may not be familiar

2683
02:29:47,320 --> 02:29:52,560
Speaker 2: with the hard Knocks formula. Okay, And if you fall

2684
02:29:52,640 --> 02:29:55,120
Speaker 2: within this formula and you're asked to be on the show,

2685
02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:59,000
Speaker 2: you don't have to be on the show. And typically

2686
02:29:59,200 --> 02:30:01,000
Speaker 2: you're not going to be eligible to be on the

2687
02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:03,760
Speaker 2: show if one of these three rules apply to you.

2688
02:30:03,879 --> 02:30:06,840
Speaker 2: You have a first year head coach, you've been the

2689
02:30:06,879 --> 02:30:09,920
Speaker 2: playoffs in the last two seasons, or you've just simply

2690
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:13,120
Speaker 2: appeared on Hard Knocks in the last ten years. So anyway,

2691
02:30:13,200 --> 02:30:15,240
Speaker 2: let's sort of cut to the chase here. I'll give

2692
02:30:15,240 --> 02:30:18,240
Speaker 2: you an example. For instance, the Denver Broncos they don't

2693
02:30:18,240 --> 02:30:19,680
Speaker 2: have to be on the show in twenty twenty three

2694
02:30:19,720 --> 02:30:22,360
Speaker 2: because they have a new head coach. The Patriots don't

2695
02:30:22,360 --> 02:30:23,600
Speaker 2: have to be on the show because they've made the

2696
02:30:23,640 --> 02:30:26,720
Speaker 2: playoffs at least once in the past two seasons. And

2697
02:30:26,800 --> 02:30:29,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys aren't going to be on the show because

2698
02:30:29,080 --> 02:30:31,480
Speaker 2: they've appeared on Hard Knocks in the past ten years,

2699
02:30:31,640 --> 02:30:33,560
Speaker 2: just two three years ago, as a matter of fact.

2700
02:30:34,920 --> 02:30:36,920
Speaker 2: But when you factor in those three rules and apply

2701
02:30:36,920 --> 02:30:41,000
Speaker 2: them to everyone, there are actually only four teams that

2702
02:30:41,160 --> 02:30:44,280
Speaker 2: the NFL, if they want to, can wave their magic

2703
02:30:44,320 --> 02:30:46,280
Speaker 2: go onan and say you have to be on Hard

2704
02:30:46,360 --> 02:30:50,480
Speaker 2: Knocks this year. The teams are the Washington Commanders, the

2705
02:30:50,560 --> 02:30:54,000
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints, the Chicago Bears. And this is the

2706
02:30:54,080 --> 02:30:56,760
Speaker 2: one we all believe it should be and hope it is.

2707
02:30:57,400 --> 02:31:00,520
Speaker 2: The New York Jets. Come on, man, kid met with

2708
02:31:00,600 --> 02:31:06,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers Rogers. They're the obvious choice, and they're one

2709
02:31:06,440 --> 02:31:09,560
Speaker 2: of the more fascinating teams. I would say in the

2710
02:31:09,680 --> 02:31:11,920
Speaker 2: NFL right now thanks to the addition of Aaron Rodgers,

2711
02:31:12,560 --> 02:31:16,680
Speaker 2: but we're curious about them as well. Unfortunately, their coach,

2712
02:31:17,160 --> 02:31:22,279
Speaker 2: Robert Salah is not too keen about being on Hard Knocks.

2713
02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:26,360
Speaker 2: He even said he told Sports Illustrated about a week

2714
02:31:26,400 --> 02:31:28,840
Speaker 2: ago he said, quote, I know there are several teams

2715
02:31:28,879 --> 02:31:30,800
Speaker 2: that would love Hard Knocks to be in their building.

2716
02:31:31,520 --> 02:31:37,080
Speaker 2: We are not one of them. Hmm. Even their Special

2717
02:31:37,120 --> 02:31:40,080
Speaker 2: Teams captain Justin Hardy said he wants nothing to do

2718
02:31:40,160 --> 02:31:42,920
Speaker 2: with the show. He thinks it would be a distraction.

2719
02:31:43,959 --> 02:31:46,600
Speaker 2: Let's also not forget that the Jets owner Woody Johnson,

2720
02:31:47,080 --> 02:31:49,440
Speaker 2: he gave a very noncommittal answer when he was asked

2721
02:31:49,440 --> 02:31:52,320
Speaker 2: about the possibility of doing Hard Knocks at the annual

2722
02:31:52,440 --> 02:31:56,119
Speaker 2: league meeting in March. Whether we do it, I gotta

2723
02:31:56,120 --> 02:31:58,520
Speaker 2: take a hard look, Johnson said, that's not a ringing endorsement.

2724
02:31:59,400 --> 02:32:02,720
Speaker 2: Might sound like is on the fence. Back in twenty twelve,

2725
02:32:03,640 --> 02:32:06,040
Speaker 2: he actually told the league they were very up up,

2726
02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:08,400
Speaker 2: they were very interested in being in Hard Knocks. He

2727
02:32:08,480 --> 02:32:10,440
Speaker 2: was very open to being on Hard Knocks. That was

2728
02:32:10,520 --> 02:32:12,640
Speaker 2: in this is not They weren't picked that year. Okay,

2729
02:32:13,160 --> 02:32:15,240
Speaker 2: by the way, the Hard Knock. The Jets had actually

2730
02:32:15,320 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 2: been on Hard Knocks in twenty ten. You know you

2731
02:32:19,080 --> 02:32:24,040
Speaker 2: got the crazy Rex Ryan saying crazy things, right, So

2732
02:32:25,760 --> 02:32:30,119
Speaker 2: maybe Dennis Allen of the New Orleans Saints, he seems

2733
02:32:30,160 --> 02:32:32,440
Speaker 2: like he's pretty adamant against being on the show as well.

2734
02:32:33,160 --> 02:32:36,680
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, back on June sixth, Dennis Allen, the

2735
02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:38,600
Speaker 2: head coach of the Saints, was asked how he would

2736
02:32:38,640 --> 02:32:40,959
Speaker 2: feel if his team got picked for the show. He says,

2737
02:32:41,320 --> 02:32:44,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't like it because I just want to focus

2738
02:32:44,040 --> 02:32:46,720
Speaker 2: on our football team and getting better, and any distractions

2739
02:32:47,080 --> 02:32:51,879
Speaker 2: are exactly that, distractions that keep you ultimately from reaching

2740
02:32:51,959 --> 02:32:55,320
Speaker 2: your goal. You detect a pattern here, you detect a

2741
02:32:55,360 --> 02:32:58,160
Speaker 2: recurring theme. So the Jets don't want to do it,

2742
02:32:58,879 --> 02:33:01,520
Speaker 2: The Saints don't want to do it. How about the

2743
02:33:01,640 --> 02:33:07,560
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears? Not so fast, le corso. Once again, at

2744
02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:11,120
Speaker 2: the annual league meeting their chairman, the Bears chairman George

2745
02:33:11,200 --> 02:33:14,320
Speaker 2: McCaskey made it very clear he would be glad to

2746
02:33:14,400 --> 02:33:18,200
Speaker 2: see any team on the show this year except for

2747
02:33:18,320 --> 02:33:21,600
Speaker 2: the Bears. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bears justin fields.

2748
02:33:21,640 --> 02:33:25,240
Speaker 2: All that whole deal's coming along. McCaskey went on to

2749
02:33:25,240 --> 02:33:27,320
Speaker 2: say there are a number of teams that have compelling

2750
02:33:27,440 --> 02:33:30,360
Speaker 2: stories to tell. There's thirty one others. Well, no, it

2751
02:33:30,440 --> 02:33:33,080
Speaker 2: doesn't work that way. It doesn't really work that way.

2752
02:33:34,560 --> 02:33:36,480
Speaker 2: There are a lot of teams in National Football League's

2753
02:33:36,480 --> 02:33:40,080
Speaker 2: not interested in I can assure you with that. Well,

2754
02:33:40,120 --> 02:33:47,600
Speaker 2: that leaves the Washington Commanders, and they had a special

2755
02:33:47,680 --> 02:33:50,920
Speaker 2: teams player who was an All Pro twenty twenty two.

2756
02:33:51,560 --> 02:33:54,400
Speaker 2: He's already spoken out that he's not interested. He said,

2757
02:33:54,440 --> 02:33:58,360
Speaker 2: you can keep it, man, keep it. And one thing

2758
02:33:58,440 --> 02:34:00,920
Speaker 2: that works in Reeves' favor is I think the NFL

2759
02:34:01,160 --> 02:34:04,840
Speaker 2: actually would shy away from putting the spotlight on Washington

2760
02:34:04,959 --> 02:34:06,560
Speaker 2: right now because they're going through a lot of drama

2761
02:34:07,120 --> 02:34:09,160
Speaker 2: that's related to Dan Snyder, and although he's in the

2762
02:34:09,200 --> 02:34:12,200
Speaker 2: process of selling the team, he still technically owns a

2763
02:34:12,240 --> 02:34:14,800
Speaker 2: team in the league. Wouldn't want to put Snyder under

2764
02:34:14,800 --> 02:34:18,760
Speaker 2: the spotlight. If the Commanders transition to an ownership is

2765
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:22,520
Speaker 2: something that should be handled privately, So what do you do?

2766
02:34:22,879 --> 02:34:25,320
Speaker 2: So even if the Saints and the Jets and the

2767
02:34:25,400 --> 02:34:27,959
Speaker 2: Bears and the Commanders that want to be at hard knocks,

2768
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:30,200
Speaker 2: though it doesn't mean they won't be picked. See the

2769
02:34:30,320 --> 02:34:33,480
Speaker 2: NFL can force one of the four eligible teams to

2770
02:34:33,600 --> 02:34:35,240
Speaker 2: be on the show. The Raiders didn't want to do

2771
02:34:35,280 --> 02:34:38,200
Speaker 2: it in twenty nineteen, but the NFL picked him anyway.

2772
02:34:38,600 --> 02:34:41,080
Speaker 2: On the other hand, the four candidates this season could

2773
02:34:41,160 --> 02:34:44,680
Speaker 2: be off the hook of another team volunteers. For instance,

2774
02:34:44,959 --> 02:34:47,320
Speaker 2: remember during COVID, the Rams and the Chargers did the

2775
02:34:47,320 --> 02:34:49,959
Speaker 2: show together in twenty twenty, even though they weren't even

2776
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:52,640
Speaker 2: on the list of eligible teams, and they made an

2777
02:34:52,720 --> 02:34:56,280
Speaker 2: exception the NFL did so, only four eligible teams this year,

2778
02:34:56,360 --> 02:34:57,800
Speaker 2: the NFL is going to have to hope one of

2779
02:34:57,840 --> 02:35:00,720
Speaker 2: them has to change your heart, or maybe someone w volunteers.

2780
02:35:01,360 --> 02:35:03,280
Speaker 2: So the league could also point to the Commanders and

2781
02:35:03,320 --> 02:35:06,320
Speaker 2: basically say, if you get your sale finalized, we're putting

2782
02:35:06,360 --> 02:35:08,959
Speaker 2: you on. We don't hear any complaints, but the show

2783
02:35:09,200 --> 02:35:12,680
Speaker 2: starts filming, it to start a training camp. We're already

2784
02:35:12,720 --> 02:35:18,400
Speaker 2: on June eleventh. Now training camp is you know, four

2785
02:35:18,480 --> 02:35:21,600
Speaker 2: or five weeks away. Seriously, that's when they gotta start filming.

2786
02:35:21,600 --> 02:35:24,720
Speaker 2: They gotta get all the logistics ready to roll. Basically,

2787
02:35:24,920 --> 02:35:28,480
Speaker 2: this means I think you're gonna hear an announcement sometime

2788
02:35:28,520 --> 02:35:31,960
Speaker 2: between now and July fourth, sooner rather than later. I

2789
02:35:32,120 --> 02:35:34,160
Speaker 2: hope the Jets step up, or if they don't, I

2790
02:35:34,280 --> 02:35:37,200
Speaker 2: hope the NFL picks the Jets. Say you wanted the

2791
02:35:37,320 --> 02:35:42,280
Speaker 2: Rogers drama. Let the drama begin, Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets,

2792
02:35:42,400 --> 02:35:45,480
Speaker 2: hard knocks. Come on, man, come on, Rogers, come out

2793
02:35:45,520 --> 02:35:48,720
Speaker 2: of the darkness, retreat, will you? Maybe you can even

2794
02:35:48,760 --> 02:35:51,280
Speaker 2: do Iahwuasca on camera. We'll get to watch it, all right.

2795
02:35:51,320 --> 02:35:53,800
Speaker 2: That's gonna do it for this edition of The Bernie

2796
02:35:53,840 --> 02:35:59,320
Speaker 2: Frattle Show. Appreciate the listenership, Appreciate the guests. Great job

2798
02:36:02,600 --> 02:36:04,520
