1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It's that time

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: of week. My name is Bernie Fridda. We are company

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: Line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas.

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: Another rocket show planned. We'll take up to three am Pacific,

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. And before we go any further, the

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: most important thing, Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 2: out there. Take care of your mother. You only have

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: one mother. I lost my mother on February eighth, twenty

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: twenty three, and you never stop thinking about it. Trust

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: me on that one. Of course, I do have my

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: wife who's a phenomenal mother as well, and Happy Mother's

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: Day to her and all the mothers. So take care

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: of your mothers. Now's the time. There's so much to

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: get to and this is gonna be a fun show because,

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: especially the midnight hour, we're gonna get into that gray

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: emotional area where we have perspectives on people's behaviors in

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: the world of sports that managed to overshadow the games

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: on the floor, on the court, on the field, if

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: you get my drift. I've really enjoyed these NBA playoffs

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: so far. They've been frankly raucus, and they've been physical,

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: and they've been hotly contested. When we've had five situations

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: already where what the team has come back from a

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: twenty more than a twenty point deficit, but today, you know,

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: it was frankly rather anti climactic. For my money, right now,

26
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: the one series that it's actually got my attention more

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: than any other is Denver Oklahoma City because for the

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: second consecutive game, even though Nikola Jokic that's three time

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: MVP Nikola Jokic, it would easily be five times MVP.

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: Nicola Jokic has looked pedestrian immortal, and you give Oklahoma

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: City and their physical, smothering DS defense credit, right And

32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: even though Jokic was only eight of twenty five from

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: the floor, he actually turned the ball over eight times,

34
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: which is, you know, rare for him. But guess what,

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Junior and Aardon Goren all

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: stepped up, which and I'm looking forward to talking to

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: Mark Medina. What I'm seeing now is just more of

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: an indicator of truly how far away the Lakers are

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: from doing anything. And we're gonna get to Lebron too.

40
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: It's funny. There's an old saying in life. Some people

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: have something to say and some people just have to

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: say something. And when Lebron is not asked, he likes

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: to talk, and when he's asked, he doesn't want to talk.

44
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: We're going to unpack that and that's going to be

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: part of our bend that hour as well. Meanwhile, the

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: flip side, you know, okay, see with the phenomenal regular season,

47
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: they're finding out the postseason a little different. MVP finalist

48
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: Shay gilgess, how will he respond in Game four after

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: his you know, pretty piss poor performance in Game three,

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: eighteen points on seven to twenty two, you know, always

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: settling for tightly contested jumpers. He was not able to

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: slither in and out of the paint. This is the playoffs.

53
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: The playoffs are real. And I enjoyed both games today.

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: But again and he climbacted. I mean, if if if

55
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: Golden State and they almost did it and Lebron Lebron

56
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: if drama, you know, Draam had a real chance to

57
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: step up and be a leader in the last couple

58
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: of games. Files out today, you get the picture. Steph

59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: Curry's absence is just incredibly sorely filled, and so that

60
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: we'd have a story if Golden State goes up on

61
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: men in Minnesota two to one, but they don't, and

62
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: that you know, you can stick a fok of them.

63
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: I realized that them meeting Golden State, I realized Curry

64
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: might be back game six. He went down with a

65
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: hammy in Game one. The Warriors have competed voiantly, but

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: without him, they didn't make a single three and the

67
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: first half Saturday, even though the Timberwolves offense struggled and

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: both teams, you know, did not look good early, and

69
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: you know they both kind of found life in the

70
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: second half and comes away with thirty six points, does

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: what he does. And then you got the other you

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: know that you got the knicks right, That would have

73
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: been a story had they gone up on the defending

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: champions three zip. But the Celtics win. It comes from

75
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: an all around team effort. Give them credit. I was

76
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: blown away as at the m Resort today at the sportsbook.

77
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: And even though Boston trails the series, or they were

78
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: trailing the series two zero heading into Saturday's game and

79
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: going on the road, I'm sure they were two and

80
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: zero New York this year in New York's one and

81
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: three in the playoffs at home. Still mightas won thirty

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: five to win the series, even though they're down two

83
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: and going on the road. I'd be a little worried

84
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: if I were Knicks fans right now if the Celtics

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: even that up. Give it up to Peyton Pritchard twenty

86
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: three points a career playoff high, Jason Tatum, who I'm

87
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: a big fan of, twenty two points, Jalen Brown. You know,

88
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 2: on the boards scoring. The Knicks still lead this series,

89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: but Boston got They got back to their identity after

90
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: going twenty five or one hundred from three point land

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: in the first two games. They were twenty to forty.

92
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: They never trailed. They were led by as many as

93
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: thirty one points. Hule Hum, whole ham hule home. Okay. See,

94
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: all of this is being overshadowed now by a certain

95
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: individual in the NBA who wants to remind us how

96
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: smart he is, how great he is, how successful he is.

97
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: He's a four time champion, he is a successful man.

98
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: But true greatness needs no self promotion. When you have

99
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: to tell me how smart you are and how great

100
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: you are, what that leads me to believe is once

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: again the the someone has inflamed the passions of an

102
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: insecure man. And you know who I'm talking about. You know,

103
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: years ago he was kicking people in another region. Now

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: it's just he just lacks he lacks impulse control. It's

105
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: as simple as that. I mean, here's a guy, with

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: all due respect, who has the audacity to scream and

107
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: cry woe is me to the world, and I'm a victim.

108
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: And yet when you consider the body of work going

109
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: back ten years, remember kicking Steven Adams in the Western

110
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: Conference Finals in twenty sixteen in another region, and he

111
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: was fine and then ended up getting suspended, And many

112
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: feel that had not been suspended, the Cleveland Calves never

113
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: would have gone up or never would have come back

114
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: from three to one in that series. That was Lebron's

115
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: championship in Cleveland. He went back to Cleveland delivered. Yes,

116
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: he punched Jordan Poole in practice, had a scuffle with

117
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: Herb Jones a couple of years ago, tremendous body of

118
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: work suspended Game five of the NBA Finals in twenty

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: sixteen after his altercation with Lebron James. Then two years

120
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: later he was suspended for his altercation with his own

121
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: teammates Kevin Durant. It was in the final seconds of

122
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: a regular season game against the Clippers. Draymond grabbed a rebound,

123
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: although Durant was calling for the ball. Draymond went coast

124
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: to coast, driving into traffic, turned it over. The Warriors

125
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: didn't get a shot off. They lost in overtime, but

126
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: not before Draymond and Durant had a heated exchange on

127
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: the sidelines, and that argument carried into the locker room

128
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: after the game and has been acknowledged by both Green

129
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: and Durant as a turning point in Durant's eventual departure.

130
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: So Durant helps his team to four championships, and he

131
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: hurts them as well. Impulse control. You see a pattern here.

132
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three, suspended for a season long technical filed him,

133
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: and I remember he had the audacity to sit there

134
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: in a press conference during the twenty sixteen finals said

135
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm not stupid. I know if I get one more technical,

136
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: I'm suspended for a game. Well, if you're not stupid,

137
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: why'd you get that many technos in the first place.

138
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: You don't have to tell us you're not stupid. People

139
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: don't have to say, oh, Draymond's he's a really smart guy.

140
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: You know, all the years I've been a fan and

141
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: covered the NBA in an official capacity, I don't care

142
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 2: whether it's Jubbar, Julius, Serving Bird, Magic, Jordan, Kobe Jack.

143
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: These are elegant, interesting, aeradype guys, formally educated, and no

144
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: one ever had to remind you they were smart. You

145
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: already knew. So why do they do this with Draymond

146
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: and Lebron? It's gratuitous. In the twenty twenty three season, Green,

147
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: thanks to a long body of work, was given a

148
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: one game suspension without pay for collecting a sixteenth technical

149
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: foll of the year. No, under NBA rules, a coach

150
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: or a player is automatically suspended. You get one game

151
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: once you get your sixteenth foule during the regular season.

152
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: But he's smart right Later on that year, remember Draymond

153
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: was suspended for stepping on Demontis Sabonis's chest during a

154
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: playoff game. The NBA suspended in one game that was

155
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: in the series against Sacramento, Green was ejected from the game.

156
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: Replay showed obviously he planted his foot directly on Sibonis's

157
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: chest after getting tangled up, and he used Sibonis as

158
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 2: a springboard to jump up and down to get on

159
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: the court. Yeah, he's pretty smart. Impulse control. How about

160
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: later twenty twenty three, suspended five games for putting Rudy

161
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Gobert in a headlock. November fourteenth, twenty twenty three, Klay

162
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: Thompson and Jade McDaniels had a little dust up and

163
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: Draymond inserted himself into the dust up, and he grabs

164
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert and puts him into a choke hold. Yes,

165
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: you know, they were all suspended, but Draymond the body

166
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: of work once again. Impulse control all right. Oh. Later

167
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: on in twenty twenty three, which appears to be his

168
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: banner year, suspended indefinitely for punching Usif Nurkic just thirty

169
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: days after his dust up with Rudy Gobert, Green got

170
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: the headlines again for all the wrong reasons. He swung

171
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: his arm around. Sure it was accidental, just like it

172
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: was the other day that elbow flying left. You're not

173
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: that stupid. You probably are that stupid, but you knew

174
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: what you were doing, and you act like he did.

175
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: Is bad. Acting. Maybe take an acting class while you're suspended.

176
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: Green and Nurkic were both physical with each other. I

177
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: get it, But Green swung his arm, and whether the

178
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: officials determine that Green's actions were excessive and they adjected

179
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: him impulse control. And because he had been suspended five

180
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: games just four weeks earlier, the NBA chose to suspend

181
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: Green indefinitely, forcing him to meet certain conditions before his return. Ultimately,

182
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: he had twelve games, cost himself one point eight million.

183
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: But I get it. He's smart, and yes, remember in

184
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: Hole's control. So here's a guy who doesn't want to

185
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: be labeled. But he has a long history of suspensions

186
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: in the NBA, and his propensity for technical fouls always

187
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: puts him at a risk at another and he hurts

188
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: his team. He's helped his team. There's no question Draymond

189
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: Green is a great basketball player. He checks a lot

190
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: of boxes. Superb defensive player, great passer, court sense, he'll

191
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: score when you need it, Defensive player of the year.

192
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: But his antics. I'm telling you, man, this guy and

193
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: now he's worried about being the victim. We're gonna get

194
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: to this in the midnight hour. For the record, Draymond

195
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: Green's been suspended six times in his NBA career and

196
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: he's received two hundred and twenty seven fins. But he's smart,

197
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: right because he told us, Yeah, impulse control. That's the

198
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: operative word tonight, Draymond impulse control. There really isn't anybody

199
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: else quite like Draymond Green in the NBA. Whether you

200
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: consider him loose cannon, a defensive stalwart, or something in between.

201
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 2: Green has proven two things. He does know how to

202
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: play winning basketball, but his temper and his impulse can

203
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: carol or lackter of has cost him and his team

204
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: on multiple occasions, including this year. Hey be sure to

231
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: How are you, Bernie? I am good, Very quiet NBA

232
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: week though not much to talk about.

233
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: No, we're gonna have to dig deep at our journalistic

234
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: proclivities to figure something out before I get to the playoffs,

235
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: because they have a couple of real takeaways. I want

236
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: to flesh something out with you, because you know, we

237
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: always have to start with the Lakers in some form

238
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: of fashion. It's about Bronnie it should be, but I'm

239
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: gonna put that on the back burner. It one day.

240
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: We'll just do two hours on Brownie Bryce and uh,

241
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: you know whatever. Anything named James.

242
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: Matter is what the people want.

243
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: That's that. That is absoutely what the people want. And

244
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: right and those clicking sounds across the nation you just

245
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: heard where radio radio is being turned off. Anyway, all right,

246
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic can't sign any extension until August second. He's

247
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: got three options. He's got that two plus one. He

248
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: could get a five year deal up to four eighteen

249
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: if he wants to. He could sign a four year

250
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: deal that goes into effect twenty six, twenty seven. Get

251
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: I think that brings him like two twenty nine. Or

252
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: he could opt out, or he could he could play

253
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: out his currency. He's got one year left and then

254
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: sign a five year for two ninety six. Which of

255
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: those three do you expect him to do? Or is

256
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: there something else in the offering we don't know about?

257
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, Luka don has publicly said this.

258
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: He hasn't thought about it. He was just thinking about

259
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 4: the season. But I don't think there's any signs that

260
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: he's not going to return with the Lakers. I don't

261
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 4: think there's any signs that he's not going to commit

262
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: to that long term. So I think that is going

263
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: to be about this. He do four years, five years.

264
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: He wants to be a Laker. As much as he

265
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: obviously was disappointed and surprised and hurt that the Dallas

266
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: Mavericks traded him to the Lakers, it wasn't because of

267
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: anything to do with the Lakers. It was just the

268
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 4: fact that he thought he was going to be the

269
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: Mavericks franchise cornerstone, especially after being in the NBA Finals

270
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: last summer. But once he I don't want to say

271
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 4: he got over it, because it took some time, but

272
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: once he absorbed the reality that he's playing with the Lakers,

273
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: he's playing with Lebron James, he has a chance to

274
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: win championships. He's been embracing it, and he's also embracing

275
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 4: being part of the city of Los Angeles. It didn't

276
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 4: take him long for him to announce that he was

277
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: going to donate a lot of money to the victims

278
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: that were affected with the LA wildfire earlier this year.

279
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: So you know, the really the uncertainty or just you

280
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 4: know what the small details in the contract look like,

281
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: but the larger details is that he's gonna be a

282
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: Laker a long term.

283
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: As you observe these playoffs, and I mean we've had

284
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: five games now where there were twenty point comebacks, We've

285
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: got Look, i mean we've got three the conference leaders. Right,

286
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: the Cavs are down two to one, the Celtics down

287
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: two to one. Okay, SE's down two to one. As

288
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: you observe these playoffs, you like me left for the

289
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: impression that the Lakers are much further away, even that

290
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: we might have thought. When you consider Golden State is

291
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: essentially competing with Minnesota. They're down to one like the

292
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: Lakers were with Pretty they don't have Steph Curry. I'm

293
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: looking at this tournament and saying, Wow, the Lakers are

294
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: even further away than I thought. Your thoughts. I don't

295
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: mean to lead the witness, which I just did.

296
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, I always know how to testify,

297
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: so it's all good. It's an interesting question because I

298
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: think when you compare Steph Curry and Lebron James. Steph

299
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: Curry's ad a better point in his career because he's younger,

300
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 4: still playing an all star caliber level. But I think

301
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 4: that Steph has more ears left than Lebron. But as

302
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: far as you know, what I've seen the playoffs, is

303
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 4: that further cement that the Lakers are far behind. No,

304
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 4: not really, and I say that fully admitting and arguing

305
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 4: that the Lakers had an underachieving season this season. I

306
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: didn't expect them to win a title. I expected them

307
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: to at least get to the second round, and there

308
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: was a chance they could go further only because the

309
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 4: Luca and Lebron chemistry has been really good and their

310
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 4: defense was surprisingly elite after losing Anthony Davis. But after

311
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 4: the Luca trade, I always thought that this trade was

312
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: a bridge for the long term. It wasn't about, you know,

313
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: the missing championship puzzle piece. I wasn't like, you know,

314
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 4: when the Lakers got Palgo Saw and you know, he's

315
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 4: paired with Kobe Bryant two thousand and eight and that's

316
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 4: all they need to win a title. That team was

317
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 4: very much different. Kobe still in his prime, They had

318
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 4: a lot of great other players around him, you know,

319
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 4: Andrew Bidham, Derek Fisher, lamar odom Here. In the Lakers case,

320
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 4: it was Lebron eighty and a bunch of good but

321
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 4: not great role players. So they do have a tall

322
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: task in front of them, but really it's just about supporting.

323
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: It's about improving the supporting cast. And once they do that,

324
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: I don't want to say they're the heavy championship favorite

325
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: just because of their age with Lebron, but they would

326
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 4: be right back in the mix.

327
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: My moles tell me that the Lakers may make a

328
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: run at Nick Claxton. He checks a lot of boxes.

329
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: Would Brooklyn part with him? Is there a deal to

330
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: be made there?

331
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: Well, I think there's a deal to be made if

332
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: the Lakers are willing to sell the farm. And that's

333
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: the challenge that the Lakers are going to go through

334
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 4: because you know, Lebron, James and Luca dodgege aren't going anywhere.

335
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 4: But where do they draw the line of making everyone

336
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: available but still having some roster depth. And you know,

337
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 4: the signals that the Lakers have been given is that

338
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 4: they view Austin Reeves. I wouldn't say it's untouchable, but

339
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: it's part of their big three. I mean Rob Holenka

340
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 4: in the season named press conference talked about them as

341
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: if they were a trio, and even though Austin Reeves

342
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 4: had a disappointing postseason, he said that that didn't negatively

343
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 4: change his view of how he played, which in the

344
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: regular season was a lot of growth career high showed

345
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 4: that he and Luca Dodge can coexist well together and

346
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: that Luca actually needs a player like Austin because it's

347
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: another additional score, another additional ball handler, and a guy

348
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: that maybe is an elite defender, but he can still

349
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 4: get after and make all the hustle plays. So at

350
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: the same time, the Lakers have made it clear their

351
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 4: priority number one is to get a center, so Nick

352
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 4: Claxton's on that list. I just don't know where they

353
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 4: draw the line on who they're willing to give up,

354
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: because everyone is available with exceptional Lebron and Luca, but

355
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 4: with Austin Reeves, I think it would require a superstar

356
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 4: player for them to be willing to part waves with

357
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 4: Austin and then with RULEI Atchamora, he would be available,

358
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 4: but it would have to be someone that is that

359
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: moves the needle, and Nick Claxton Yeah, he's he's good.

360
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: He upgrades them at center, but he's not necessarily a

361
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: game changer.

362
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 2: Well it's twenty good shot. Locker can do the Lob

363
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: deal under contract for three years, so there's stability there.

364
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't care. I don't. I don't care.

365
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: If they can bring back Wilt and they're not going anywhere,

366
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 2: I'm stay I'm sticking to it. Most of my hot well,

367
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know what a hot take even means,

368
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: but most of my bold statements have frankly ca sairly

369
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: at let's go to Steph Curry mark he's going to

370
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: miss at least two more games. He might come back

371
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: in game six. Is it too little too late? Are

372
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: they cooked? Are are the Warriors cooked?

373
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: Not too little too late? Only because the Warriors have

374
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: a lot of equity. That was a close game that

375
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 4: they had tonight in Game three obviously Minnesota one. They're

376
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: a really good team. I mean, we've talked about it

377
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 4: ever since the first round when they beat the Lakers.

378
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 4: This isn't just a young and up and coming team

379
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: that you roll your eyes at. No, they're a legitimate team.

380
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 4: But the Warriors, they do have a chance to bounce back.

381
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: They played really reasonably well in Game three, and they

382
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 4: can play even better in game four. And with Steph Curry,

383
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 4: his timeline's unknown, but you know there is a chance

384
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: he comes back in game six, and that obviously changes

385
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 4: a lot of things. So I think this playoff series

386
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 4: is going to go the full seven and really, if

387
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: you go either way, I mean, obviously Minnesota's in the

388
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: driver seat right now. I would pick them to win.

389
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to discount the Warriors right now

390
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: because they got Jimmy Butler, great score. He led Miami

391
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 4: to the finals two years ago with a worse roster

392
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: than he's playing with right now. Kraymond Green, he's got

393
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 4: to avoid the technicals and that's a whole other conversation,

394
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 4: But defensively he's been good. That foul call he had

395
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 4: got where he fouled out was I thought ridiculous at

396
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 4: the end of the game, and you saw Jonathan kaminga

397
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 4: play a lot better than he was earlier. So yeah,

398
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 4: they're still encouraging science. They're not done.

399
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: Yet, all right, So what do you make in these playoffs?

400
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: So far? The Cavs are down two to one. The

401
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: Thunder's down to one, the Celtics down to one, and

402
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: so on and so forth. It's been your biggest takeaway, Well.

403
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 4: The biggest takeaway is that there's a lot of parody

404
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: in the NBA, and some people might like that. You know,

405
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 4: every team has a chance, small markets have a big chance.

406
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: Some teams, you know, some fans like the Juggernauts. But

407
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 4: it's made for compelling basketball. It's made for a lot

408
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: of addictable finishes. It's made the people that follow sports

409
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: because they want to make money on it. I'm sure

410
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 4: stressing them out a little bit. So a lot of

411
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 4: stuff going on what I make of the teams, though,

412
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 4: I think with Cleveland, Indiana has played really well. Tyrese Haliburn,

413
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 4: you know, came up in the clutch and showed that

414
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 4: he's a really good point guard, good passer. But I

415
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: think a lot of it had to do with the

416
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 4: fact that Cleveland wasn't fully healthy. I mean, they had

417
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 4: very important injuries with Darius Garland and Evan Mobley and

418
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hunter, and they're not fully one hundred percent back,

419
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: but they were back for Game three, so that makes

420
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 4: a difference. And Donovan Mitchell has been pointing out of

421
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 4: his mind. So this could go either way. But I

422
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 4: think Cleveland's going to take this series because of kind

423
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 4: of the momentum shift of better health, while you know,

424
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 4: everything else can really be a coin flip as far

425
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 4: as what happens between the Celecks and the Knicks, Warriors,

426
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 4: Wolves and thunder Nuggets.

427
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: I've enjoyed it. I think it's been raucous. It's been

428
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: physical and been contested, so we'll see. You know, I

429
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: don't disagree with any of you said I have to

430
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: dress Draymond Green. I mean, this is a guy I've

431
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: been suspended six times to hundred and twenty eight finals

432
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: in his career. Look, I'm wondering, here's where the angle

433
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm going. Where the hell is the commissioner. Years ago

434
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: when Dominkin sue a team I covered, still connected to

435
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions, had several issues. You know, about ten

436
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: twelve years ago, he stepped on Aaron Rodgers. He did

437
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: another region deal three or four incidents, and finally Roger

438
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: Goodell just called him to New York and said we

439
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: got to talk. And it kind of worked for a while.

440
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: That it did, But the Dominican zuo straight and straight

441
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: down for the rest of his career. You know, he

442
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: was fine. Where is Adam Silver in this? It's not

443
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: good for the NBA product when you got a highly

444
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: visible player. So again i'm leading the witness. Is Adam

445
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: Silver at all going to and have some sort of

446
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: input here?

447
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 5: Uh?

448
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: Hell, intervene if Draymond Green gets two more technicals, because

449
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 4: that means he'll have to serve a you know, a

450
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: game suspension. He's not going to intervene right now. I mean,

451
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 4: he's been called for technicals and that's that. And you

452
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 4: know some of the technicals the naz Red incident, you

453
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: know that I don't think was intentional, but it was

454
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: above the shoulder, so the referees called it accordingly. And

455
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 4: you know, I was surprised how much rope the referees

456
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 4: gave Draymond you know, when he was arguing after that. Yes, yeah,

457
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 4: I mean I think that those officials specifically thought, you

458
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 4: know what, like, I don't want to throw a key

459
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: player out in a key playoff game over this. But

460
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: I think if it was another player, he would have

461
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 4: gotten more, he would have gotten less rope. But I

462
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 4: think the ironic thing about Draymond throughout his career is

463
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 4: he's had games where he's been treated like a superstar

464
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: or an all start player, like you know what we

465
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: just saw, and then there's been times where he's been

466
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 4: hit by his reputation because you know, the officials have

467
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: just gotten over his annex and his emotions and all that.

468
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: So it's very unpredictable. The other thing with Raymond that

469
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: I feel compelled to address, you know, when he was

470
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 4: very upset after the game, you know, the other night

471
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: and saying, you know, you all are making me out

472
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: to be an angry black man. Two things can be

473
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 4: true here. The Minnesota Timberwolves acknowledged that, you know, there

474
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 4: were fans in the stands yelling racial thing, you know,

475
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 4: racial slurs at them, so that's indefensible, unacceptable, But what

476
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: happened on the court had nothing to do with that.

477
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 4: You know, he made a bad found Osrid. He's getting

478
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 4: very frustrated with the officials, so for him to put

479
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: the two and two together, it's very disappointing. You know,

480
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 4: you know, the fans that say those things, it's unacceptable.

481
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 4: But a lot of the criticism towards Raymond has simply

482
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 4: to do with what he's doing on the court, with

483
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 4: being too demonstrative at the worst opportune times. And the

484
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 4: thing with the Warriors, they obviously don't like that, but

485
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 4: you know, they're pragmatic about it. They very well recognize

486
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 4: that he's a great defender and the good vastly outweighs

487
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 4: the bad, and when he does get out of line,

488
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 4: they try to restrain him a little bit. You saw,

489
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: you know, Steph Curry go up to him and pull

490
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: him back. Steve Kerr made the quick substitution putting Jimmy

491
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 4: Butler in the game so that Draymond could get another

492
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 4: technical and we had ejected. So it's not like the

493
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 4: Warriors are naive to all this. They've just made the

494
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: practical decision that good outweighs the bad, and they're at

495
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: like any professional sports team, they care about the bottom

496
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 4: line results and that's that. But it's a very frustrating

497
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: thing that they've dealt with basically his whole career.

498
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely talking with Mark mndin and Medina Magic every Saturday

499
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: night on the fort to show our Fox Sports Radio

500
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: NBA Guru. A little later in the show, I'm going

501
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: to give the folks the rundown on the NBA's most

502
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: recent anonymous player. Poll. But obviously, in retrospect, the choice

503
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: of Tyre's Halliburton, I mean, the most overrated players seems

504
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: to ring somewhat hollow. I think I know what the

505
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: rationale was, but how do you respond to that?

506
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was interesting. I mean it was

507
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 4: I believe the results. But I think what we need

508
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 4: to keep in mind here is that there were a

509
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 4: lot of players that were polled in the poll, not everyone,

510
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: but there were fewer people that answered the overrated question. So,

511
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: you know, I think it was like thirteen players that

512
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 4: viewed Tyres Haliburn as overrated, so it's not a lot

513
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: of people. The fact that players are still saying that, though,

514
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 4: I think it says something and I think there's a

515
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: few things on pack here. I do wonder if there's

516
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: some competitive, you know, some professional jealousy. I mean, he

517
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: made the Olympic team last year. He didn't play it

518
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: at all, really, and you know, there's a lot of controversy,

519
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: whether it's Jalen Brown or Kyrie Irvy not making Team USA.

520
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: Like dude, players like that feel a certain way toward him.

521
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: The reality is Tyres Haliburton had injuries during Team usay,

522
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 4: so he wasn't available, and you know, they had a

523
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 4: pretty stacked roster. But you know, I talked with his trainer,

524
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: Drew Handling earlier this week about it, and it didn't

525
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: sound like he or Tyree's really paid much mind to it.

526
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: And he made it clear like he's not overrated. He

527
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: views him as the best passer in the NBA, one

528
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: of the best point guards in the NBA, and he

529
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: impacts winning now. At the same time, Drew, you know,

530
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: told me, and he's someone that gets on him a

531
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: lot because he's a type of trainer that really tries

532
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: to motivate his clients. He always pushes him about being

533
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 4: more aggressive. He feels like he's such a great passer

534
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 4: that sometimes he's too unselfish and you see him not

535
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: always looking for a shot. He's always pushed in him

536
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: to be more and more aggressive. So when you're looking

537
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: at these two games, in games one and two, he

538
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: was very aggressive. In game three, he wasn't. He was passive.

539
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 4: So I think it's a fair conversation that Tyres could

540
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 4: be more consistent, he could raise his game to another level.

541
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 4: But to say he's overrated, I mean, that doesn't really

542
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 4: make any sense. He's an ulter power player.

543
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: Well, I agree. Look a total of ninety votes for

544
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: cast on that particular and over twenty five players got votes.

545
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: Not Halliverton got the most votes. I'm I'm going to

546
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: apply some context to this later in the show. But

547
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: the theory was that he got too much credit for

548
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: the playoff run last year when they knocked off Milwaukee

549
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: and they were missing Yiannis because of an injury. But look,

550
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: there were so many players that got votes. Said, I

551
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: think a lot of this is a little personal. So

552
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: that's just my quick thought. Hey, last thing, real quickly, Mark,

553
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: So give it up. I think you called it that

554
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: Kenny at Atkinson would be Coach of the Year, probably deserved.

555
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: Jamie Bickerstaff might have gotten my vote, But I started

556
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: to pay a lot of attention to Joel Mazzoula. He's

557
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: he I'm curious about him. The more I observe him,

558
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: the more I like him. Why does not why does

559
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: he not get more love in the media as being

560
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: a truly good coach?

561
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think he's gotten more in love than before.

562
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 4: I think there was a lot of weight and to

563
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 4: see when he took over, you know, you know, through

564
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: pretty unexpected circumstances with Emi Adoka being pushed out because

565
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: of an inappropriate relationship with the organization, and he really

566
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: helped the Celtics catch to the finals, and even though

567
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: he's part of coaching staff as his first head coaching gig.

568
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 4: I think he earned his stripes obviously last year winning

569
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: the championship, but I don't think he was ever considered

570
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 4: to be a Coach of the Year only because they've

571
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: already been so successful last year. I mean, Phil Jackson

572
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 4: arguably could have won Coach of the Year every single

573
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 4: year saving with Greig Popovich, and they didn't really do

574
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: it because they've been winning so much. Usually the Coach

575
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 4: of the Year award goes to a coach that you know,

576
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: changed a rebuilding team into a playoff team, or when

577
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: you're looking at Kenny Atkinson with the Cavaliers, they're a

578
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 4: playoff team and now they are a contender with you know,

579
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: a huge improvement in the wing column. So I think

580
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: that's what it is. But Joe Mazzola great coach, a

581
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: great basketball mind. He knows how to push his players

582
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 4: and you know, really have a good mix of motivating

583
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: them and nit picking them but also empowering them. Uh,

584
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: and that's a really tough thing for head coaches to master,

585
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 4: but he's done a good job with it.

586
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: Mark great stuff, as always, already looking forward to next week.

587
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: I just wish James Johnson was in the playoffs, and

588
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: I wish I wish Draymond would try to k came

589
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: in the nuts and watch that's James Johnson's a black

590
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: belt in karate and that would be fun to watch.

591
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: Well, it would certainly be a WWE type performance, but

592
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: I us we'll have to wait another time for that.

593
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: Your mouth to God's heres, Mark great stuff, already looking

594
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: forward to next week.

595
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,160

Speaker 5: shallow May and Justin Bieber had to skip the Met

683
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 5: gallup because they're watching the n b A and NHL playoffs.

684
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 5: Now do you do do we get into trouble? If

685
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 5: if you have to see, if you can watch and

686
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 5: Spike Lee went to the Met Gala and he missed

687
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 5: the greatest nixed game in history because he went to

688
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 5: the met Gala. But the young guys, we're staying, We're

689
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 5: staying strong now. And what kind of trouble Timothy Shallow

690
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 5: Mayo took his lady, took Kylie to Rome after to

691
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 5: try and make it up to her. What kind of

692
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 5: trouble are you in if you stay home and watch

693
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 5: the game instead of going out tom or a wedding

694
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 5: or something like that.

695
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 6: This is this is your best question of Brie yet.

696
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 6: Thanks for the call.

697
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 7: This is good.

698
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Now here's where I Bree.

699
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 6: Can I just go ahead and just interet one thing

700
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 6: before you answer? I feel like you'd be a little

701
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 6: bit different in this instance, because I think you would

702
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 6: be fine with going to the game, right You're probably

703
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 6: built different whenever it comes to this, but not a

704
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 6: lot like my wife would not. I mean, it don't

705
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 6: matter that this pays the bills. If I miss birthday

706
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 6: or if I miss the met Gala, I'd be in.

707
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 2: Big trouble right now.

708
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 7: So what where do you stand on that?

709
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm totally different. I would not care. I would

710
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 8: definitely like I wouldn't want to go to the met

711
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 8: Gala and I wouldn't want to do any of that.

712
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 8: I'd rather just stay home watch the game. And Timothy

713
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 8: Shalomy doesn't need the publicity. I always say, the people

714
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 8: that always go to the met Gala, they wear these obnoxious,

715
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 8: crazy outfits and they need their like two minutes of

716
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 8: fame to be like, don't forget about me.

717
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 9: I'm still here.

718
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 5: I'm still around.

719
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 8: Timothy Shallamy is dating a Jenner, right, so like, yeah,

720
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 8: there you go, so like he doesn't need to be

721
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 8: out there.

722
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 2: No, no, thank you. I'm glad.

723
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 8: You know what, I think Steve knows more about pop

724
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 8: culture than I do. I didn't even know Taylor Swift

725
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 8: was summoned in like a jury thing for the Lively thing.

726
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 6: Yes, you know what, Steve By, I feel like he's

727
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 6: doing a really good job as our leadoff hitter.

728
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: He really is.

729
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 9: He's like my TMZ little recap.

730
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, I had no idea.

731
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 6: He'd by take this show from a sports show to

732
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 6: more of an entertainment pop out.

733
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 9: He's a resident gossip girl.

Speaker 2: three great topics tonight. Okay, we're gonna you know what,

772
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: you know what we're going with Draymond. You know we're

773
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 2: going with Lebron and you know we're going Manny Pacchio.

774
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 2: So without further ado to mind that out, all right,

775
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 2: we start with old reliable Jim in Massachusetts. Jim looking

776
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: forward to what you've got to say tonight, and some

777
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: I think some good topics.

778
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 14: I think Draymont he's in a quiet taste. You know,

779
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 14: he's such a talent. And there's the other guys in

780
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 14: the league that they had to him, you know, put

781
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 14: up with, you know, to get their talent on the floor.

782
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 14: The thing is, my question is did the team ever

783
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 14: make him do counseling.

784
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 13: Or anything like that?

785
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 14: I mean, did they ever have him get him any help.

786
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: I mean, well, yeah, I answer that question directly. I

787
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: know that during the twelve game suspension a few years ago,

788
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 2: his he could not return without some conditions being meant.

789
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what those conditions were, but if you

790
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: got counseling, maybe they get your money back. It didn't work.

791
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean that's as well. You're right there, but

792
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 14: that's what they should have done, and he.

793
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 5: Should still be doing that.

794
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, he knows he's had.

795
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 14: Issues, but that's that's neither he hand nor there at

796
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 14: this point. Lebron Lebron's Lebron. I was never really a

797
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 14: fan of Lebron. I've heard stories about him, you know,

798
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 14: even coming up through AAU, it's always been about him.

799
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 14: He was always that big of a guy, you know,

800
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 14: over over, you know, timinating and stuff like that. And

801
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 14: then you see this stuff on YouTube when he was

802
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 14: coaching Brian a You.

803
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 13: Going off on reps and he's just yeah, yeah, it's.

804
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 14: A love hate thing with Lebron, and I'm just really

805
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 14: not a fan.

806
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 13: He just can't keep his mouth shut.

807
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 2: That's all fair so in this particular case, though, his

808
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 2: refusal to comment on Luca and perhaps give the Lakers

809
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: an assist by making sure that Luca doesn't get you know,

810
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 2: a wandering eye. And then he clams up. Do you say, Okay,

811
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,479
Speaker 2: that's Lebron's right. He doesn't want to talk about another

812
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: man's contract, but he's sure as hell had no problem

813
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: doing it when it came to you know, Bronnie and

814
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,959
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick and Darvin Ham and Russell Westbrook.

815
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 14: Well, you know the thing is, if Lebron thinks it

816
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 14: benefits him, he's all in, you know, But if not,

817
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 14: he keeps his mouth shut and not Believe me, he's

818
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 14: not that bright. If he wanted read the coach, They're

819
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 14: not going anywhere with that guy.

820
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 13: They're going with that guy.

821
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: Manny PACTI years old.

822
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 14: I love I love Manny Patio. The problem there is

823
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 14: in boxing, you know, it's all about speed, you know,

824
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 14: and I just don't think he has the speed. I mean,

825
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 14: he used to knock guys out. Use to watch the

826
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 14: replay ten times. Oh yeah, yeah, I see it, you

827
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 14: know what I mean? Because I just hope he doesn't

828
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 14: get hurt.

829
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: But anyone know you know what, yeah, good good stuff

830
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: is always you really appreciate you. Look, I will watch

831
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: July nineteenth, and if he wins at Belt at forty six, hey,

832
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 2: we'll see, we shall see. All right. I want to

833
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: make sure I get this name right. You'll tell me

834
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 2: if I'm closer or not.

835
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 5: Is it?

836
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: Is it d Bar in Minneapolis? Correct me if I'm wrong? Please?

837
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, you're right, I got it right, yes, sir?

838
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, I'm happy to hear that. I don't like

839
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: win a pizza or anything on my birthday. Now go ahead,

840
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: the bar, you got the floor.

841
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 15: No, personally, I'm not gonna lie. I don't like Draymond Green,

842
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 15: not because of the way he plays and how his

843
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 15: i Q of basketball, like the high IQ that he has.

844
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 15: It's not because of that.

845
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 16: It's just the way he acts on the court.

846
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 15: But I was I was at the Timberwolves game where

847
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 15: or the where the fan was calling the hen slurs

848
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 15: and stuff like that.

849
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: I didn't agree with that, right, that's I hope they

850
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: kicked that fan out.

851
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 15: Out They didn't catch him, but they didn't catch him,

852
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 15: but he left before they could talk to him. But

853
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 15: I definitely, I definitely did not agree with that. But

854
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 15: I I think, like I think Draymond Green is a

855
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 15: great player.

856
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 17: I think he's a great like a.

857
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 15: Great person off the court. I don't know like how

858
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 15: he acts, but we as in the public, like what

859
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 15: we see is like what we judge on.

860
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 12: You know what I mean.

861
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 2: Look, he's we're going ten years here. Let's let's switch

862
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: to Lebron. Are you pissed off like I am? The

863
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: Lebron decides to climb up when he's asked a question

864
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 2: about Luca.

865
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 11: I don't know.

866
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 15: I feel like Lebron's gonna retire this year, and.

867
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: Bar, I think this is your first time calling the show.

868
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: Don't be a stranger. You're always welcome. I'm gonna predict

869
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: your place in these three more years, three more, three more,

870
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: because he's gonna want a good well goodbye to her.

871
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: And he's already said he wants to play with his

872
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 2: other son, Bryce, who's an incoming freshman at Arizona State

873
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 2: or Arizona this year at Arizona State. Go ahead, you

874
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: finish up your thought. Sorry to Bar, I didn't mean

875
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: to interrupt you there. We get so many callers. We

876
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: do this every week. Spocks we in Oregon dive right in.

877
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 18: My friend, Hey, Bernie, wonderful to talk to you again.

878
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 18: How are you, sir, doing well?

879
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: Thank you?

880
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 18: All right, and now ask the usual question if you would,

881
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 18: what are you drinking? I am drinking a ten year

882
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 18: eagle rare bourbon with a foster's back.

883
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 4: It's delicious.

884
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: So let's hope that crystallizes your thoughts. Give me, give

885
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: me your characterization of Draymond Raymond Green.

886
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 18: He's the kind of guy. Yes, that's true.

887
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: If he's on your no filter.

888
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 18: If he's on your team, you love him. Everybody else

889
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 18: hates him, and they're all right to hate him.

890
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 2: He had But I can relate to that because Bill

891
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: amber I covered the bad boy Pistons. He was the

892
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: same type of guy. He played the victim. He just

893
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: he embraced who he was. Continue on.

894
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 18: No, Yeah, the victim stuff is crap, but he's But

895
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 18: if the NBA can tolerate this, that's their fault.

896
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: Well they had disciplined them, you know, two hundred and

897
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 2: twenty seven finals. Move on to Lebron. I let you

898
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on Lebron and his recar All right, go.

899
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 18: Ahead, Yeah, Lebron is a spoiled brat. He always has been.

900
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 18: But he's one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

901
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 18: So I mean, what are you gonna do? However, I

902
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 18: think Lebron he could be at a chuck e Cheese

903
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 18: and play the hoop shoot and if he hits the

904
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 18: rim and it comes back and hits his head, he'll

905
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 18: fall and he'll look around for the kids or the

906
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 18: rat to find out who who.

907
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 2: Fouled him, and then tell you he's not a flopper, which.

908
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 12: He said, that's right.

909
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 18: And if that happened to Draymond, he'd completely trash the

910
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 18: machine and tell you he's not an angry black man.

911
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: And if it happened to Manie o'patio, what do he do?

912
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 13: Oh?

913
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: Man?

914
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 18: If it's many many, Pactio would take it like a man, say,

915
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 18: you know, God is good and we're going to continue

916
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 18: to try to be better.

917
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 2: You watch Manny on July nineteenth. Will you watch that

918
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: fight or you have interesy?

919
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 18: If I have a chance to watch it, yes I will.

920
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 18: Manei Paccio is one of the one of the greatest

921
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 18: people I think uh in sports. He's a man of God.

922
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 18: I find that attracted personally. Many other people may not care,

923
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 18: but I certainly do. And I hope that that he

924
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 18: does well, and I hope that if he does win

925
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 18: that he gets to invent some sort of appliance like

926
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 18: a grill master or something like George Cormy.

927
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, Listen always appreciates this box, great energy.

928
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: Enjoy that beverage. We got to Orange, California. Martin joined us. Martin,

929
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: welcome in. Is this your first call to the Bernie Frownsfield.

930
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 10: Hey, Bernie, first time, long time man.

931
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 2: Welcome in. Appreciate you, Appreciate you calling in, buddy.

932
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Okay, So let me just get to the

933
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 11: Draymond man.

934
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 10: I really like him.

935
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 11: I love the way he plays. I think he's feisty

936
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 11: and he always embraced that I'm the bad guy. But

937
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 11: he's gotten older. He's playing the victim roll, which I

938
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 11: really do not like. If he was in the eighties,

939
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 11: I think he would just be another great strong player

940
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 11: and this whole dirty thing wouldn't even be part of

941
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 11: the vocabulary.

942
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 10: I'm I'm gonna jump to pack out.

943
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 11: I don't know why this guy's coming back, man, I mean,

944
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 11: at forty six, I'm going to tune in, but I

945
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 11: already know what's gonna happen. He's gonna go to sleep,

946
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 11: because that's just basically what's been happening. I really thought

947
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 11: he was in politics in the Philippines. I can't believe

948
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 11: he's coming back. But you know what they say, Bernie,

949
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 11: All warriors like to leave on their shields, and that's

950
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 11: what I think. You're right. Lebron wants to play another

951
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 11: four years. I'm from the heart of the Lakers, man,

952
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 11: That's where I live. This is where we're at. And

953
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 11: I'm gonna tell you when I read that article and

954
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 11: what Lebron said about oh, that's not my job, the

955
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 11: first thing that ran through my mind was, and that's

956
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 11: exactly what you were getting a statue in front of

957
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 11: our stadium because they don't understand the brand of the Lakers.

958
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 11: You don't understand the love of the Lakers and the

959
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 11: family of the Lakers. You're always Lebron first stats, First.

960
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 10: Look at me.

961
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 11: I'm the goat. You know who never said they were

962
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 11: the goat? Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russell, These guys

963
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 11: were a goat. And my man, thank you, Bernie.

964
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 2: I'm standing debut. Martin's great energy, great stuff. Was that

965
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 2: one guy on the ready says, rack them, yeah, rack

966
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 2: them Martin. Don't be a stranger. You covered a lot

967
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 2: of great ground on you. You touched upon one of

968
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: my basic premises as someone who was an intern at

969
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: the Forum and was there for Magic's rookie year. And look,

970
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers are an organization of eras. I mean you

971
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 2: had the Wilt era, and then the Jabbar and then

972
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: Magic and Kareem and and and then right on down

973
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 2: through you know, Kobe and Shack and now you got

974
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 2: the clown era. And that's just the way I see it,

975
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: all right, Uh, Tony in Miami, I'm guessing if Raymond

976
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 2: Green acted a fool in one of your clubs, you'd

977
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: have kicked him out right.

978
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 16: I'm gonna have to go with Dennis Rodman and I

979
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 16: Larry Bird or Black. You'd just be another guy in

980
00:50:58,520 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 16: a club.

981
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 2: Well, actually, Isaiah's one who said that, and they bird

982
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: handle it well and they ended up having a press

983
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 2: conference and kissing making up.

984
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 16: I I was I was watching the Celtic City.

985
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

986
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 16: Real cook about Draymond. Uh. By the way, I got

987
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 16: a handed to Martin. I'll get get you refer to

988
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 16: him in a minute. But in reference to Draymond, I

989
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 16: think he's okay. If the league has goons and thugs,

990
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 16: there are none. There's a lot of uh of robots

991
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 16: and and droids that are athletic that played AAU and overseas,

992
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 16: so they don't know how to handle him. I'm not

993
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 16: for sure. Anthony Mason, Dave College, Charles Oakley, Uh, the

994
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 16: Davis brothers wouldn't be having Draymond, and Draymond wouldn't be

995
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 16: having them, and they get into it. But I think,

996
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 16: you know, it would be good. I understand what he's.

997
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 11: Doing and I would want him on my team.

998
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 16: But he hears a haggle, he opens his mouth.

999
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 2: Okay, and that's the problem. Draymond is not as smart

1000
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: as he thinks he is, or he wouldn't engage in

1001
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 2: this this continuing ongoing in lack of impulse control and

1002
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: then followed up by defending it with stupid comments. It's

1003
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 2: like the gig tragedy Hutsbell who murders both of his

1004
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 2: parents and just have mercy on me. Court I'm an orphan.

1005
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 16: I mean, come on, he knows, he knows exactly what

1006
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 16: he's doing until he does it. And I do think

1007
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 16: he had the biggest fact I was in sixteen, I

1008
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 16: did have an issue. If you remember Adam Silver, when

1009
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 16: you call when you cost your team a championship. One

1010
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 16: problem with Silver? What happened that year? He said on

1011
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 16: record that if that was going into Game seven, he

1012
00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 16: would not have suspended drain me Dream, so that that night.

1013
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 11: You know, whyever you want to.

1014
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 16: Look at that?

1015
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 2: But how about I want to cut you moving, Bud,

1016
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: because we've got so many how about if we just

1017
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: suspend Lebron on general principles? What are your thoughts now?

1018
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: He speaks out this week and no one asked him,

1019
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: But then they ask him about Luca and he doesn't

1020
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:14,280
Speaker 2: want to say anything.

1021
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 16: Uh, just here, I have nothing on Patiao. I'll leave it.

1022
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 16: Leave you with the Lebron Dames. Okay, the reference to

1023
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 16: the lost call, who is great. I'm in Miami, okay, Uh,

1024
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 16: I attend in Cleveland. This guy's not beloved anywhere Cleveland split.

1025
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 16: There's some people there I believe that respect what he did.

1026
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 4: Sure, he's clear.

1027
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 16: You heard the left come up, and that's a true

1028
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 16: Wakers fan. I'm telling all of the people on the

1029
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 16: West coast, you need the petition to have the body

1030
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 16: either retire or has him.

1031
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 11: Trained by the end of next.

1032
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 16: Season, because what's gonna happen is he's gonna leave your

1033
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 16: team with nothing. He's going thank you, thank you, He's

1034
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 16: going to recit run to your organization, and Ruca's gonna leave.

1035
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: I yeah, we'll see it next week, Tony. I hope.

1036
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 2: I look my colleague, who I respect tremendously, have gotten

1037
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: to know real well. Steve Hartman has, for my money,

1038
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: the most intelligent take. And if the Lakers were real

1039
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 2: like branch Ricky used to be back in the day,

1040
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: or and there are organizations. If you see the Celtics

1041
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: deel Red Aurbach, they knew what to do and when

1042
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 2: it was time to do it, and you take the

1043
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 2: hard punch and everybody screams and cries, and not everybody,

1044
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: because I think Lebron is very polarizing, Hartman said, they

1045
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: move on from him now. Okay, I respect Steve Harper.

1046
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 2: One of these nights, I probably got to have him

1047
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 2: on the show to talk about it, because it makes sense.

1048
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: You man, I like carrying that, but your gender is different.

1049

Speaker 2: Zach Jerome, Poppy, Emmett, Andrew You're up next in that order.

Speaker 17: but I think there's a an interesting angle and take

1075
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 17: on this too, that that doesn't.

1076
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 16: Get talked about a lot.

1077
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 17: Is you know, Steve Kerr had had Rodman and they

1078
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 17: won three championships together, and so he saw that. And

1079
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 17: it's like, I don't know if he thinks Draymond is

1080
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 17: Rodman two point zero or you know whatever you want

1081
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 17: to call it, right, but he saw that and saw

1082
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 17: the value of it, but he's not able to, I

1083
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 17: don't know, control it as.

1084
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 11: Much as Bill Jackson.

1085
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 17: It's just an interesting thing to think about, right, you

1086
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 17: know what I mean?

1087
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,439
Speaker 2: Well, I did think you bring up a valid point. Listen.

1088
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 2: I covered the bad boy Pistons and Rodman produced results,

1089
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 2: as does Draymond. The difference is Draymond's got a different

1090
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 2: agenda and he's constantly not recating the victim. I never

1091
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: saw Rodman do that continue.

1092
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 4: At Yeah.

1093
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 17: I mean Rodman would go and dress as a woman

1094
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 17: and disappear and like escape in different ways. But yeah,

1095
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 17: the Draymond thing, I think you're just in the wrong era.

1096
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 17: But two hundred and twenty some ods fins he said,

1097
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 17: I didn't realize.

1098
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 2: It was like there, and he won't he won't shut up, Like,

1099
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of accountability. Your thoughts on

1100
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 2: Lebron and his unwillingness to speak on a subject that

1101
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:07,959
Speaker 2: he was asked about.

1102
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 17: Yeah, man, what what what Lebron's legacy could be and

1103
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 17: where he could be on Rushmore and eliminate so much debate.

1104
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 17: It just falls on him for he just continues in

1105
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 17: his mouth.

1106
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I with h with Manio's fight. Try that

1107
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 2: I get an English Manny Pachio coming back by nineteenth.

1108
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: You even care?

1109
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 11: No, I don't really care too much.

1110
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 17: But I'm guessing he's gonna the money that he's gonna get,

1111
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 17: he's going to donate, So I'm thinking it's a money

1112
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 17: grab and something like that. I don't think he or

1113
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 17: maybe just maybe yeah, maybe, But yeah, I don't really

1114
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 17: care too much about it.

1115
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 2: Great stuff, Zach. Appreciate you man, and don't be a stranger.

1116
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 2: I like the way you lay things out there. I

1117
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: think the Dennis Robin uh comparison is appropriate, certainly in

1118
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: terms of production. But Robin was really an interesting, likable

1119
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 2: guy and if you really got to know him, and

1120
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 2: Draymond is really polarizing ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

1121
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 2: Jerome and Charleston, Jerome, all I can say is thank

1122
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 2: you for your service to our country.

1123
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 10: Rodman a nice guy.

1124
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 18: That weirdo.

1125
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 2: Come on, I met him. I met him many many times. Jerome,

1126
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 2: you'd have liked him, you know how, Joan, you got

1127
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 2: a BS meter and one on one, he's a really

1128
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 2: he's a really interesting guy. He's a good dude. Hey,

1129
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 2: he ain't perfect.

1130
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 18: One on one.

1131
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 10: I'm never sitting in the seam.

1132
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 11: Room with that guy. Not that weird though.

1133
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: All right, So tell me about another weirdo named Draymond.

1134
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I as an ad hominem attack. He got

1135
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: the floor.

1136
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 10: I feel sorry for him because he reminds me of

1137
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 10: that old biblical thing. How does a man prosper? He

1138
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 10: gave the world and he lose his soul. You know,

1139
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 10: he's the heck of a defensive player, but he got problems, man,

1140
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 10: And I don't know he needs. He needs to go

1141
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 10: up to the therapy like I did a couple of

1142
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 10: years ago for I lost my mom. I don't know

1143
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 10: if it will help him, but it couldn't hurt. Okay,

1144
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 10: he needs to see some therapy, but it might be

1145
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 10: too late in the game for him. Who knows now

1146
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 10: today that look.

1147
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 11: Keep been doing this for a long time and you

1148
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 11: can't change, man.

1149
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 10: We don't like changing for anybody because I don't expect

1150
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 10: him to be any different. And as far as this

1151
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 10: polarizing Lebron, that's the second time this week I've heard

1152
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 10: that comment. And the first person said that she's about

1153
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 10: his dumb as they come. Okay, And I know who

1154
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 10: she is and I've heard her she's about his dumb

1155
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 10: as they yet. Okay, So I've considered the swords. Like

1156
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 10: I said, people don't know what people think you're smart

1157
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 10: until you start talking. And she ain't that smart. Okay.

1158
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 10: The guy's a plaionaire. He had nothing years ago, nothing

1159
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,439
Speaker 10: he could rob two Nicolas together, and now look where

1160
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 10: he is and look at his playing resume. You know

1161
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 10: he's a businessman. If I'm going to take advice, I'm

1162
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 10: gonna take advice from him because she's very smart. The

1163
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 10: people that criticize him not so smart. And as far

1164
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 10: as Pakio, stay retired, man, you don't need it. I'll

1165
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 10: let you broke, and you need the money. Stay retired,

1166
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 10: because who wants to get to brand scrabble at the

1167
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 10: age of forty six? May I work on Mike Cognitute

1168
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 10: every day and I'm sixty eight. So getting hit in

1169
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 10: the head, that doesn't help, all right, So just stay retired.

1170
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 2: That's it, Bernie, all right, your own appreciate you, buddy,

1171
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. If we can just just you know,

1172
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 2: get you to get over the shyness and come out

1173
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 2: of your show. Now, great stuff, Poppy and San Diego.

1174
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 2: What have we got tonight? Poppy?

1175
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 19: Hey, Bernie, you know what's on my mind is like,

1176
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 19: you know, you were talking about Draymond Green compared, Well,

1177
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 19: I'll compare to Raymond Green with someone. It's like today,

1178
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 19: you know, I'm working and I'm picking up an order

1179
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 19: for new breeze, right, and the person takes with the

1180
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 19: the dollar bill, Bernie, and I was wondering what happened

1181
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 19: when someone pays with the counterfeit. Well, the manager gets

1182
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 19: a bail. Hey, there's a fake counter beer. I did

1183
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 19: a line and there's a fake bag.

1184
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 4: I could go and do I know, do I know?

1185
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 10: You know it's a big junible. You're not the things

1186
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 10: that starts crying out like Grandma gave me this bill.

1187
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 19: Well, that's straight, mom, Britt Green. I think the victim

1188
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 19: wants people like feel sorry for him. That's kind of

1189
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 19: the comparison, I would give Jamon green like.

1190
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 2: Cry I do. I do agree that he's playing the victim. Yeah,

1191
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 2: fair enough? Copy alright, tell you you heard your owns

1192
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: thoughts on Lebron. I it bugs me when Lebron wants

1193
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 2: to say something and most of the time we don't care.

1194
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: And then when they're asking specifically about Luca, he hits crooked.

1195
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 2: So did he do the right thing? Because if you

1196
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,439
Speaker 2: wanted a film, that's fine with me. Yeah.

1197
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 19: Well, I got plenty to say about Lebron James. Lebron James,

1198
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 19: you gotta understand how you say you, Bernnie, I could

1199
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 19: a psychology without degree. I actually wanted to be a psychologist.

1200
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 19: But when you go into the mind of Lebron James,

1201
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 19: he always wants to be the headline.

1202
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 10: It's an ego.

1203
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 5: Egos like me, me, me, I want to go into Gallas.

1204

01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 19: And I got advice advice for you. I don't care

01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 19: I really love mine in Patio. Like I thought it

1225
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 19: was a millionaire. I thought it was rich, you know,

1226
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 19: I think, oh he's rich. He's a president and over

1227
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 19: there in the Philippines. So like, I don't know. I

1228
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 19: just think that sometimes when you love something so much

1229
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 19: that college on him, Missus. He wants to He thinks

1230
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 19: he's back in his prime dage, and his mentality is like, yeah,

1231
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 19: I could do it, but physically he can't do it.

1232
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 16: So I don't think he just wants to do it.

1233
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 19: See what he does, and probably that's a cross of

1234
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 19: office bucket list and that'll be interesting. But I don't

1235
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 19: think he'll do good.

1236
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 2: To be honest, Poppy, good stuff, but appreciate it.

1237
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 18: Man.

1238
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 2: Thanks Poppy, stay safe down there in San Diego. Emmat

1239
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 2: up in the Olympic, Washington. What's up, Emma? How you doing, Bud?

1240
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 16: What's going on?

1241
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 20: Bernie doing good?

1242
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 21: How about you?

1243
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 2: Dive good? Thank you? Dive into these three topics.

1244
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 21: Just want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the

1245
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 21: mothers out there. And my first topic, like, I'll start

1246
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 21: with Draymond. Now, it's a really interesting story because Draymond,

1247
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 21: like throughout all his career, we've kind of known him

1248
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 21: as the crash out. I'm sure Brenos of that terms

1249
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 21: mean you you might as well, where it's basically like

1250
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 21: person who just loses a COOLi. You know, they do

1251
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 21: some things that they may regret, stupid things, right, And.

1252
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 2: We know that term is a cop out though, but.

1253
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, cop out here, that's a good one.

1254
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Crash out Okay, But here's the deal. This is an

1255
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 2: international star who's four time champion. I just want to

1256
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 2: hit your opinion. How do you characterize Draymond? I already

1257
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 2: you already heard my thoughts.

1258
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 21: Well, it's hard because we know Draymond as an on

1259
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 21: the court player and like a podcast so from the

1260
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 21: volume nine if he still does that anymore, So, like

1261
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 21: we don't really know you off the court, and when

1262
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 21: he comes out and he's like, you guys are trying

1263
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 21: to play me as an angry black man. It's like

1264
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 21: I'm basing my character off of how I know you.

1265
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 21: You may be a great dad, you may be a

1266
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 21: great husband.

1267
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a great point. The way what he's projecting

1268
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: is what people are responding to, and if he wasn't

1269
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 2: doing that, we might have a different opinion. That's a

1270
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 2: good insight. Let's go to Lebron. Did Lebron do the

1271
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 2: right thing about Knock getting Luca's business? Sure didn't bother

1272
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 2: him getting in darbin hands and everybody else's.

1273
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1274
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 21: The thing with Lebron is he's really terrible at talking

1275
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 21: like this man is not the best pr like like

1276
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 21: this picked me off a couple of weeks ago. If

1277
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 21: you remember that when they lose they lost in Game

1278
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 21: five to the Timberlves I believe it with VJ who

1279
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 21: posted this, it was a side by side of like

1280
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 21: Kobe losing and then Lebron losing, and Lebron was all

1281
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 21: just laughing making jokes and Kobe like you could tell

1282
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 21: that the loss was like get into his head. And

1283
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 21: it's just the way that Lebron like goes about the media.

1284
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 21: I just don't really find it very much.

1285
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 2: It's another good insight, Okay, give it a respect. And

1286
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 2: look when Kobe talked, I listened. He was a wise man.

1287
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 2: I truly believe that Harry saw him give one of

1288
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 2: the best motivational speeches ever. Lebron he talks makes my

1289
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 2: teeth itch real quickly, ad Manny, I want to get

1290
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 2: to the rest of peace great.

1291
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 16: Cor sure, for sure quickly.

1292
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 5: So forty six years old.

1293
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,919
Speaker 21: I think Jerome said it correctly. I don't think he's broke,

1294
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:39,959
Speaker 21: but this is definitely like some sort of money grab

1295
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 21: situation where we see these guys come out of retirement

1296
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 21: all the time, you know, and the and they just

1297
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 21: want to run it up.

1298
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 5: And I have no issue with it.

1299
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 21: People are gonna, you know, come check it out because

1300
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 21: it's Manipacia, one of the better boxes we've seen in

1301
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 21: a very long time.

1302
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: So I think I think many likable. All right, man,

1303
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 2: in great stuff, Bud, you covered a lot of ground.

1304
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 2: I wish I had more time. I want to get

1305
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 2: to everybody just so everybody knows it's twenty six minutes

1306
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 2: in the midnight hours over, but it's not over. If

1307
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 2: you crawl in, you are getting on. Even if we

1308
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 2: spill past one am Pacific before IM Eastern, you get

1309
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 2: you get the drill, Andrew, and Bakersfield is back. Welcome

1310
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 2: and Andrew. What do you got for us?

1311
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 4: All right?

1312
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 20: First off, I would say to Draymond Green, just move forward,

1313
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 20: and you have to remember, just like in life, you

1314
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 20: can't put hands on someone, and so you have to

1315
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 20: stay in a self defense mindset.

1316
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, he doesn't learn his lesson in ten years,

1317
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 2: But continue on. What do you got on? Lebron?

1318
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 20: Okay, Lebron? Once again, I think you guys are crazy.

1319
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 20: I'm Lakers till I die, and I'll do it. He's beloved,

1320
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 20: he's beloved.

1321
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 4: Okay, and.

1322
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 20: I have we can work it out. We can work

1323
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 20: it out.

1324
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Who's take the Beatles for fifty?

1325
01:06:59,480 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 5: All right?

1326
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 2: I respect your opinion there. Look, Lebron does have a

1327
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 2: lot of fans. I'm not denying that. And if you're

1328
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers and you're a diehard Laker guy, you know

1329
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 2: you've hitched your wagon Lebron because he gives you the

1330
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 2: best chance to go one eight in the playoffs the

1331
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 2: last two years and maybe make the playing round. But

1332
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 2: I respect your opinion. Look, here's the thing, Andrew. The

1333
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 2: most boring conversations when everybody agrees. So if you tell

1334
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 2: me Lebren, that's good enough for me. Anything, go ahead.

1335
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 20: I had something else on Lebron, Lebron pack pak yaw.

1336
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 20: I would say, a snooze fast. He lost me with

1337
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 20: his fights at Mayweather. Throw the punches, you know what

1338
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 20: I mean, that's coming up on ten.

1339
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 2: It's already been ten years, May second, twenty fifteen.

1340
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 5: Those are so Floyd waited and waited and waited.

1341
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 2: Till Manny got old and slowed down, and Floyd beat him.

1342
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 2: Floyd beat him.

1343
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you go ahead?

1344
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1345
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 2: Well the the only question I had. Well we got

1346
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 2: it as quickly. Do you want to defend Lebron for

1347
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: his choice not to speak out on the Lucas situation,

1348
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 2: which I think is purely aftradictory, and I run because

1349
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 2: he's never been shy about speaking about everything else, whether

1350
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 2: it's Brownie, Darvinham, Russell Westbrook. You get the picture right?

1351
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 20: Often I think you everybody, most people, lots of people

1352
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 20: hear him wrong. So I'm saying, what was the question

1353
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 20: that was asked him that he refused to answer? Or

1354
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 20: he is well of the way he did, you know

1355
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 20: what I mean.

1356
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 2: But you can take a lot Andrew. I'll talk ever

1357
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 2: so quickly. It's no doubt. It's no secret that the

1358
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 2: Lakers want to lock Luca up to a long year deal.

1359
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 2: So it was intimated to Lebron Mighty intervene on Luca's

1360
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 2: behalf and say, Luca, you really want to be here,

1361
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 2: and you know, blah blah blah. No, I ain't my job.

1362
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 2: Ain't my job. He's twenty six year old. He's got

1363
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 2: to be his own man. Well, it wasn't your job

1364
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 2: to get Russell Westbrook either or Darvinham or JJ Reddick

1365
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 2: or getting Brownie signed if it doesn't benefit you, I

1366
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 2: guess well you can fill in the blank. Stephen Kansas City.

1367
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 2: Let's get one more in here. I Steve.

1368
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 10: Bernie, what's going on?

1369
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,919
Speaker 2: By another another Saturday Night Bud Snymore.

1370
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think the thing about Draymond, you know,

1371
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 5: he whenever you start to play the race card and

1372
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 5: in basketball you're losing, You're a.

1373
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 4: Loser, you know.

1374
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: I didn't sit well with a lot of people, including players,

1375
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 2: including that Tim McMahon from Go Ahead, continue.

1376
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 5: On, Yeah, that that that was just then overwhelming feeling

1377
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 5: that I have. And another caller kind of mentioned it

1378
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 5: before that you know, he's a pale imitation of Dennis Rodman,

1379
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 5: who did it. Paul Pierce made a good call man.

1380
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 5: He said that Dennis did it with a lot of

1381
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 5: artistry and kind of a lot of you know, would

1382
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 5: get under your skin.

1383
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 14: Frustrates you.

1384
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 5: This guy, Draymond does it with no intelligence. So he's

1385
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 5: not an intelligent black man. He doesn't play, he doesn't

1386
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 5: play with intelligence. He doesn't play using his powers to

1387
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 5: the using his power to to do but he just

1388
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 5: fails around and everybody, everybody.

1389
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 13: Knows what he's doing.

1390
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 5: So like, look, you sort of alluded to hear he

1391
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 5: thinks he's a lot smarter than he is. And that's

1392
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 5: that's kind of like a great commentary about today's generation

1393
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 5: in general.

1394
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:17,919
Speaker 13: I'm not saying.

1395
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 5: All people, but he has a greatly oversimplified opinion about

1396
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 5: how good he is and he's not. And I don't

1397
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 5: think he deserves to be of a Hall of Fame

1398
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 5: with these comments. If you if you ask me. I mean,

1399
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 5: he probably will end up in the Hall of Fame,

1400
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 5: but I would not I would not vote for him

1401
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,959
Speaker 5: in the Hall of Fame after these comments.

1402
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 2: So how about Lebron who at some good stuff? How

1403
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 2: about Lebron?

1404
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean I think Lebron just needs to

1405
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 5: just needs to take his retirement tour. I'm just I

1406
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,560
Speaker 5: just don't think he's another one that is just this

1407
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 5: is not going to help him at all. If I

1408
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 5: was him, I would I would you seriously start thinking

1409
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 5: about that retirement tour where they give him like a rocking.

1410
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 12: Chair and every every destination, you know.

1411
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I just don't think maybe one more year,

1412
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,799
Speaker 5: but after that he really needs to call.

1413
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 18: Call it a day.

1414
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 4: I don't think.

1415
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 13: I don't see what he has to do.

1416
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 4: What he has to do.

1417
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 5: This brawny thing is that has injured him quite a bit,

1418
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 5: and so he should really think about hanging it up

1419
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 5: this year, this year, next, the Manny Pacquia thing, I'm

1420
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 5: I'm all, I'm all for it.

1421
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 16: Man.

1422
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 5: I tell you what, I want all these guys to

1423
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 5: come back de la Hoya, anybody they can ship back.

1424
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 5: We can start a senior boxing league. Let's let's let's

1425
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 5: let's you know, Netflix needs programming. Let's just let's just

1426
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 5: bring all these dudes back. Let's let's bring all the

1427
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 5: you know, whether or not they're fighting current fighters or not.

1428
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 5: I think you can gross more with them fighting each other,

1429
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 5: like Tyson versus versus Paul. I mean, I'm a sucker.

1430
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,719
Speaker 5: I'll go for all day, all right, love.

1431
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 2: It, I love it all great stuff, Steve, appreciate you, man. Look,

1432
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 2: as a society, we've been infasciated, infatuated with glaudiatory of

1433
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 2: sports since the beginning of time. So there's always going

1434
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 2: to be this just to set the rep My thoughts

1435
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 2: on Draymond I can hold two thoughts concurrently. All right,

1436
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 2: he's a very good basketball player. He's a great passer,

1437
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 2: he can shoot, he can defend. He was a key

1438
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 2: cog and four championships and also probably constant one in

1439
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and he's hurt his team in a lot

1440
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 2: with his annex. My deal is simple, he lacks impulse control,

1441
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: and he's ever going to change, and now he lacks accountability,

1442
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 2: and now he's playing the victim. So we had this

1443
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 2: topic tonight. When you run your mouth to the degree

1444
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 2: he did, and the backlash he's getting. Very few people

1445
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 2: are in his corner on this one because it doesn't

1446
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 2: add up. It doesn't add up to midnight. I was

1447
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 2: going to continue, Hugh on the five, Rick and Louisiana,

1471
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 22: I'm always on the five because I'm always driving on

01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 22: the five because.

1473
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 4: With my personal life.

01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 13: And where I live and what I do for work

1475
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 13: and all.

1476
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 11: You know.

1477
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 2: You know I'm a Hue fan, right. I think your

1478
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 2: calls you just wasted thirty seconds and no one cares

1479
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 2: get to your topics. You have good input, my friend,

1480
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 2: you're thoughtful. We don't care about this crap anymore. It's

1481
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 2: a bit. It's over here here on the five. I

1482
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 2: get it now. We've wasted a minute. Hurry up, buddy, go,

1483
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 2: I want to hear what you got to say.

1484
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 22: So, by the way, so before you before going to commercial,

1485
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 22: you distilled it pretty well. You talked about the player

1486
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 22: Draymond and who he is.

1487
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 18: But we're talking about the joker, and so what become.

1488
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 22: Of the NBA is the undercurrent of the theme that

1489
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 22: sort of has you know, we've.

1490
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 13: Talked about it before on the air.

1491
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 22: The cb A where the players are have taken over

1492
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 22: and they can do whatever s they want. And so

1493
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 22: here we are talking about jokers, including Lebron.

1494
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 16: We're just talking about the jokers.

1495
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 14: And their personalities.

1496
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 5: We're not even talking.

1497
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 2: About the excellent characterization.

1498
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 22: I accepted, Yes, okay, So so that's okay.

1499
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 13: So that's that's I got a couple of anadotes. So

1500
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 13: last night, ready for work. Is I going to people's

1501
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 13: homes to help them with their technology.

1502
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 14: I met this woman who worked for the Lakers for

1503
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 14: thirty years.

1504
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 23: She's still working for the Lakers, and she has she

1505
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 23: has her password is like.

1506
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 22: Kobe eight to four blah blah blah blah blah.

1507
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 13: Right like totally into the Lakers.

1508
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 5: My next client was in Calabasis, which happened to be where.

1509
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 14: Kobe's helicopter went down.

1510
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 22: And I cannot believe that connected to the doc.

1511
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 13: Moment that I had. But what she said is, man,

1512
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 13: it ain't like it used to be.

1513
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 2: You know.

1514
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 13: She said that she's just down on the NBA, you know,

1515
01:15:59,000 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 13: and she's.

1516
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 14: Been working for the Lakers for thirty years.

1517
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 16: So I'll put that in terms of.

1518
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 2: The product on the floor, in terms of the image,

1519
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 2: in terms of.

1520
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 22: Should probably not make it as much money or you know,

1521
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 22: it ain't good times so much anymore, you know. And

1522
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 22: she and she started working when they were at the

1523
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 22: Forum and the Forum Club and all that stuff. So

1524
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 22: it probably has something to do with that, right, So

1525
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 22: I got a question for you.

1526
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 13: Don't you think or do you.

1527
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,719
Speaker 14: Think Lebron had jumped the shark?

1528
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think he jumped the shark years ago, and

1529
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 2: we're here, we are when he decided he wanted to

1530
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 2: be this patriarchal, parenthetical spokesperson and all things. And you

1531
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 2: know what, this is America. You get to talk. No

1532
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 2: one's going to tell you to shut up and dribble.

1533
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm not. You've got a microphone all day every day.

1534
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 2: But guess what. It's what I call the lifeguard. Dear Hugh,

1535
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 2: if you look the part, or act the part, or

1536
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 2: tell me you can be a lifeguard. One of these days,

1537
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 2: someone's going to be flail in the pool. We're gonna

1538
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 2: find out if you can swim, We're gonna find out

1539
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 2: you can't hide anywhere. I'm sorry, Lebron, you are so clunky.

1540
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 2: Every time you talk, I want to kill myself with

1541
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:10,799
Speaker 2: a chainsaw.

1542
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 19: Okay, there you go, man, I set you up for that, Bernie.

1543
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 13: Okay, you know we might as well talk about Baywatch

1544
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 13: at that point.

1545
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, real quickly, well, real quickly, I'd like to get

1546
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 2: your thought on, Manny Pacio, because you do have thoughtful

1547
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 2: angles that perhaps.

1548
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he's as relevant as D two Kim.

1549
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 2: I was at that fight when he got killed November eleventh,

1550
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two, here in Las Vegas at the old

1551
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 2: outdoor Caesar's Palace. Yeah. Yes, when he thought boom boom

1552
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 2: Mancini on crowded I've told the story on the air

1553
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 2: many times. Wow, now that's a reference. See you did

1554
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 2: begin Go ahead, you finish your point.

1555
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1556
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 22: Yeah, Well I was just gonna say he's he's irrelevant

1557
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 22: like D two Kims, but not as relevant as.

1558
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 13: Boom boom Mansini. So I'll leave you with that.

1559
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Are you anything else, Bud?

1560
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 10: Give me more air?

1561
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 13: Sure?

1562
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 4: Okay.

1563
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 22: So the other thing so we're talking about, I'm gonna

1564
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 22: I'm gonna let I'm gonna let the.

1565
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 23: Next hour go.

1566
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 2: All right. Part of the reason I did that is

1567
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 2: we are coming up on the end of the midnight hour.

1568
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 2: But Rick Keto, Mike the leper Con and Bryce, should

1569
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 2: you elect to stay on the line and uh and

1570
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 2: and we'll have you on as we've done before. Occasionally

1571
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 2: the midnight hour will spill over. I don't want anybody

1572
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 2: to be turned away. All I ask politely is please

1573
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 2: try to get to your points and make your points

1574
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 2: as sincly as you can. Uh and and you know

1575
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts, because look, Draymond Green

1576
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 2: is a four time NBA champion on one of the

1577
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 2: most what has become an iconic NBA franchise, playing against

1578
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 2: the first ballot Hall of playing with the first ballot

1579
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer in Steph Curry. All Right, he matters.

1580
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 2: He's been a part of this league. He's going off

1581
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 2: the rails for the thousandth time in ten years, and

1582
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,679
Speaker 2: now he's really going off the reels. In my humble opinion, Lebron,

1583
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 2: the season's over. You lost second year and early, you've

1584
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 2: been knocked out the first round. You always want to

1585
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 2: make it about you unless someone asks you to make

1586
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 2: it about you, and then you don't want to make

1587
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 2: it about you. You had no problem talking when you

1588
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 2: wanted Westbrook, or you had thoughts about Darvin Ham or

1589
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, or you wanted Brianny to be an NBA player.

1590
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 2: But Luca, no, okay, well is that You're right? Sure

1591
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 2: it is? And then finally a manupac you a guy

1592
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 2: like it's a story you've seen a thousand times, coming

1593
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 2: back forty six years old fighting for a belt. Will

1594
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 2: you watch it? Do you care? Good idea, bad idea.

1595
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 2: That's where we are in the sports world right now. Okay,

1596
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 2: the games on the floor are not quite as interesting.

1597
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 2: We don't have royalty in this country. Our athletes and

1598
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 2: entertainers are royalty. Our continues coming up after the top

1614
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 2: hour with our final four callers, Rick in Louisiana. Welcome in, Rick.

1615
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 12: How are you all right?

1616
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 2: How are you good? Sir?

1617
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 12: Thanks good, Thanks for taking my call. Wanna start with Lebron.

1618
01:20:56,479 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 12: Start with Lebron and give you two names, Frank Vogel

1619
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,560
Speaker 12: and the mar De Rozan. So he wears his G

1620
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 12: him hat occasionally and then when things are not only

1621
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 12: he wants, then he kind of takes the hat off.

1622
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 12: And he said that when the trade went down that

1623
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,719
Speaker 12: he didn't know anything about it. I had a problem

1624
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 12: with that because you're the person helped him get Anthony

1625
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 12: Davis there. But moving on to the next topic. As

1626
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 12: far as Draymond is concerned, I think that the league

1627
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 12: allows him to do certain things. But then what happens

1628
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 12: when you have a spillover? You know, he's going above

1629
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 12: and beyond waving, you know, And I think in the

1630
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 12: league they had, as you said before, there was the

1631
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 12: lame Beard. There is the Rodman. There is you know,

1632
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 12: players that have done stuff. Oakley was was tough. Oakley

1633
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 12: did stuff, you know, but you know, the league allows

1634
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 12: certain things. But now Draymond, I guess, is carrying it

1635
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 12: over and now it's you know issues. But I still think,

1636
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 12: like you said, Adam Silver has to step in and

1637
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,799
Speaker 12: have a little conversation with him again.

1638
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 2: All right, I heard especially with this comments, Rick, I

1639
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 2: think it's I think it hurts the product of the league.

1640
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 2: It hurts.

1641
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, I know.

1642
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 12: And as far as Pacquiao, I think, you know, at

1643
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 12: forty six you should stay home. But then there's you know,

1644
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 12: he wants to do it, so there's a probably a

1645
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 12: bag out there, which is that's where it is in boxing.

1646
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 12: Now there's a big bag out there and he may

1647
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 12: or may not need it, but you know, he's getting

1648
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 12: in the ring. I think it's okay as long as

1649
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 12: everything goes well. But if he ends up getting a

1650
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 12: Nate Robinson punch like he did and then everybody come,

1651
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,560
Speaker 12: you know, sucking air and gasping because he's laying on

1652
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 12: the mat, So.

1653
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 2: That's a factor.

1654
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I just think he should, you know, stay

1655
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 12: out of it or I don't know if what if

1656
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 12: he turns sixty and he still won't forget in the ring,

1657
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 12: there should be a little bit bad and like, no, no,

1658
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 12: we're not going to be responsible, or whoever ntion, No,

1659
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 12: we're not responsible. So you're doing it at forty six

1660
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 12: he might Now if he goes in and knocks the

1661
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 12: guy in the first round, it's you know, oh wow,

1662
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 12: he still had it.

1663
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Rick, thanks a lot, buddy, appreciate your thoughts.

1664
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 2: And the fight will be here in Vegas. So apparently

1665
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,839
Speaker 2: the Nevada Boxing Commission has and in fact sank sanctioned.

1666
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 2: Michael African, you're up next.

1667
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 24: Welcome in, Mike, Good morning, Bernie, good morning. And again

Speaker 11: I love your You're a bit about what kind of

1671
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 11: fool of you?

01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:44,439

1676
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 24: you're not sell.

1677
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 2: You're you're not wrong because you think he'd know better

1678
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 2: by now.

1679
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 24: Yeah, geezuz, I could be describe there's a quite angry

1680
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 24: replicaun or a quite Irish Man. No, just he got

1681
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 24: a technical, big deal. Okay, did you like the Celtics yesterday?

1682
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 16: They were pretty good?

1683
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,600
Speaker 2: Well I did actually bet the Celtics and moving on

1684
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 2: to a team that's no longer in the playoffs, Lebron's team.

1685
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 2: Some of your thoughts, Mike on Lebron, of course, it's

1686
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 2: in his right to not talk about Luca if he

1687
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 2: doesn't want to. But look, he talks about everything else.

1688
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 24: Go ahead, Yeah, you mentioned a chain saw as well.

1689
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 16: I think you should. You should ask elon Mark.

1690
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 5: He's going to be.

1691
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 24: Retiring from the you should ask him for the chain saw.

1692
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 24: My advice Lebron to Lebron, sorry, one more year, mentor

1693
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 24: Luca have a real shot at a championship next year,

1694
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 24: and get him a little bit in shape.

1695
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 5: That's all.

1696
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 16: It's simple.

1697
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 24: As a as a senior player on the on the.

1698
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 16: Team, I would do that anything on the many pack.

1699
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 24: Mike, Yes, he's forty takes. He's a for a back

1700
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 24: of gold. I hope he doesn't get injured. He's trying

1701
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 24: to relive the old days. He should hang up the gloves.

1702
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 24: So why don't they just dig up George Foreman and

1703
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 24: Muhammad Ali and have him go at it and come

1704
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 24: on for boxing. That's that's an old man and that Okay,

1705
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 24: I'm gonna have one last comment.

1706
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 10: Okay, the bear, the Bears, the Pope.

1707
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 5: Say the prayers.

1708
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for checking in, Mike, appreciate it. And

1709
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 2: uh uh, Look, I think most of the folks tonight

1710
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: have been pretty much down the middle on this in

1711
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 2: terms of Draymond's erratical you know behavior. Lebron is gonna

1712
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 2: be Lebron, you know, and some people don't mind, and

1713
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 2: most of us, frankly take umbrage. And then one of

1714
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 2: the things he keeps coming up is Manny Pacio and

1715
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 2: how much will he make in this fight. I'm gonna

1716
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look into that. I'm not sure if it's

1717
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 2: money driven. I just think it's ego driven. Rick or

1718
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 2: checked in. I'm sorry, Bryce in Texas. You will be

1719
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 2: wrapped up for us tonight on the midnight hour.

1720
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 16: Welcome in, Hey so real quick.

1721
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 13: I was pulling in.

1722
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 23: I was going to just find Draymond Green earlier tonight

1723
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 23: with his stuff on the court, and then you said

1724
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 23: something that changed my mind. You said that he was

1725
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 23: all final, really opened his mouth. Billy Graham once said,

1726
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 23: if you want to know what you worship, look at

1727
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 23: your bank account. Basically, don't tell me that your Christian

1728
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 23: showed me. If he doesn't want to be viewed as

1729
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 23: an angry person, stop being an angry person. Don't tell us,

1730
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 23: show us.

1731
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 2: And you know what's interesting, Brice, stay right there, buddy,

1732
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 2: because that's the bottom line here, and that is the

1733
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 2: lack of accountability. People are merely responding, reacting to a

1734
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 2: ten year consistent body of work, and now he kicked

1735
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 2: it up a notch by the comments he made in.

1736
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,560
Speaker 23: A very angry tone too, which cracks me up. You

1737
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,759
Speaker 23: can't yell at somebody and be like, I'm not angry

1738
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 23: without anyways.

1739
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 25: The second one with Lebron James real Fast is that

1740
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 25: it doesn't surprise me that he's not talking about Luca,

1741
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 25: because Lebron does show us who he is, and he's

1742
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 25: not willing to talk about anything that he's not a

1743
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 25: part of or actively doing.

1744
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 23: I believe that when they said that he had no

1745
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 23: clue that Luca was coming over in the trade because

1746
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 23: of his silence and because this was his idea. It

1747
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 23: was the first thing that Planka did without really letting

1748
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 23: him in on Lebron doesn't want anything to do with

1749
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 23: it because it forces him to give credit to Planka

1750
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 23: for doing something smart and.

1751
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 2: It's not you'll wonder, because he doesn't benefit, and he's

1752
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 2: it's self serving. He doesn't. He just stays away from

1753
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 2: it because he won't benefit from Luca's tenure with the Lakers, and.

1754
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 26: He's that it's weak weak it is, but but that,

1755
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 26: but that goes exactly how Lebron james Is went in

1756
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 26: his entire career, So it doesn't surprise me that he's

1757
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 26: not willing to comment on this.

1758
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 23: The last thing, real fast is I'm not a big

1759
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 23: boxing fan. I never really got into it as a kid.

1760
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 23: I am a big tennis star fan. And if it

1761
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 23: was like better coming back to one more Wimbledon thing

1762
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 23: that he could win, just because he still thinks he can.

1763
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 23: Like PLUMBERNOLDI did an amazing piece on him ten years

1764
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 23: ago about him still thinking he can win. If pack

1765
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 23: Yell still thinks he can win, I say go for it.

1766
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, George, excellent call bri Ice, appreciate

1767
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 2: you wrapping it up and upstanding everybody tonight and for

1768
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 2: what it's worth. Look, I do think many would like

1769
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 2: to earn a belt at forty six. I know that

1770
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 2: in his career he's earned seven hundred and seventy five

1771
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 2: million dollars. That's, you know, a good, good little piece

1772
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 2: of change. You know, he's he's you know not he's

1773
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,799
Speaker 2: just a couple hundred million under Mike Tyson and Floyd

1774
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 2: Mayweather has made a billion. But look, Manny's made his money.

1775
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it publicized what the purse will be

1776
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 2: on July nineteenth, And it turns out he's also rerunning.

1777
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 2: He's campaigning to return to the in the Philippines, So

1778
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 2: he's probably got a lot of things on his mind

1779
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 2: right now. And I would just say this, the callers

1780
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 2: are very sensible. Appreciate all the callers people who take

1781
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 2: the time to call in. You add a lot to

1782
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:18,600
Speaker 2: the show. We don't agree on everything, nor should we.

1783
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 2: The most boring conversations are when everybody does agree. People

1784
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 2: come you know where you sit is where you stand

1785
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 2: on these issues. I think there's a common sense aspect

1786
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:31,680
Speaker 2: to the callers in terms of their thoughts and their perspective,

1787
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:34,679
Speaker 2: especially when it came to Manny. To the regular person

1788
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense, but to Manny, it might make perfect sense.

1789
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: He's forty six, he's a trained killer, He's had seventy

1790
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 2: five bouts, highly successful. He's probably stayed in shape. He

1791
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 2: wants one more bite at the apple. And this is

1792
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 2: not the first time he's done this. I don't think

1793
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 2: many will embarrass himself. I think he was a little

1794
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 2: embarrassed back in twenty twenty one. And who knows. I mean,

1795
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 2: George Foreman, he couldn't get a state to, you know,

1796
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 2: rest his soul. He couldn't get a state to sanction him.

1797
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 2: And finally he did, and you know, he fought a

1798
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 2: much younger Michael Moore. He got hit. He got hit

1799
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 2: more times than Rocky bell Ball or Jordan Forema did.

1800
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 2: But at the end he was the one left standing

1801
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 2: and it became an incredible end to his story, to

1802
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 2: his legacy, which was incredible. Speaking of legacies, once again,

1803
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 2: the NBA has done an anonymous player poll. Some of

1804
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 2: this stuff is pretty clever, some of it's kind of boring,

1805
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 2: like who do you think will win the title the season?

1806
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 2: By the way, fifty eight percent of the players said

1807
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 2: they thought the Celtics. We'll see, maybe they will. But

1808
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 2: there were other more revealing things like, how do they

1809
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 2: feel about being accused of shooting too many threes? Or

1810
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 2: who's the one player you'd least like to fight? Or

1811
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 2: who's the worst coach in the league. We'll get to

1812
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 2: that NBA anonymous pole coming up, by the way. For

1827
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 2: All right back at the Bernie Frautle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

1828
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:48,520
Speaker 2: Come to live from the Fox Sports Radio Las Vegas Studios.

1829
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:53,599
Speaker 2: Wanna thanks again big thanks again to all the midnight

1830
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 2: hour callers. Outstanding perspectives. All yes, some of you're driving

1831
01:31:57,479 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 2: on the freeways taking time to call real appreciate it's

1832
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:04,640
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of the show gives multiple perspectives from

1833
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 2: different parts of the country, and it helps to create

1834
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 2: some texture to some of these topics we have. Look,

1835
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 2: I've said it a thousand times. Sports are the greatest

1836
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 2: reality show. You can script everything. But the ending and

1837
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, you know, we don't

1838
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 2: have royalty in this country. Our athletes and our entertainers

1839
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:29,600
Speaker 2: are our royalty, and our athletes are entertainers. And so

1840
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 2: you know, it's what I call the Michael Jackson syndrome.

1841
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 2: The same media that builds you up can tear you

1842
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 2: down if in fact your behavior warrants or can at

1843
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,639
Speaker 2: least be called into question. All right, it's all fair.

1844
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 2: And when some of these athletes that are larger than

1845
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 2: life choose to engage in behaviors that raise an eyebrow,

1846
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 2: you're you're a public person. To some people you're a hero,

1847
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: and to other people you're an entertainer. Other people, well,

1848
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 2: you're whatever. But you're going to you know you're going

1849
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,479
Speaker 2: to elicit responses, and that's what the callers do, so

1850
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 2: a great job, all right. In terms of speaking of responses,

1851
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 2: the Athletic does a great job of this. Every year

1852
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 2: they do this anonymous NBA player poll, and not everybody responds,

1853
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 2: but this year you had about one hundred and sixty

1854
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: players respond that's more than a third of the league.

1855
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 2: And every you know, every team of the thirty teams

1856
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 2: was represented in terms of their opinions here and it's

1857
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 2: about a thirty day process and they asked the opinions

1858
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 2: about the league's you know, best and worst organizations, most underrated,

1859
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 2: overrated players, also all sorts of things. So I get

1860
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 2: the things that are interested. I think you'd find most interesting.

1861
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 2: This one not so much to me. Who's the MVP? Look,

1862
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgis and nikolea. Jokic got eighty four percent of

1863
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:00,599
Speaker 2: the votes at one hundred and fifty five, but SGA

1864
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 2: was the clear winner all right. Last year in the

1865
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 2: same poll, Nicola barely edged SGA by like four percentage points.

1866
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,680
Speaker 2: The truth of the matter is people, you know, the

1867
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 2: players who see shake Gill just on the floor noticed

1868
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:19,559
Speaker 2: he averages like thirty three points a game, six assists.

1869
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 2: He's he won his first MVP, and the majority of

1870
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 2: players agree, all right, Number one team in the West,

1871
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:28,680
Speaker 2: one of a bunch of games. Took a bunch of

1872
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,799
Speaker 2: young guys to another level. They were without Isaiah Hartenstein

1873
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 2: for a while, they were without Check Holman for a while.

1874
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 2: They believe he's consistent, he stands out, he's efficient, and

1875
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 2: everybody loves Joki, but Shaye deserves it and I have

1876
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 2: to agree with that, okay, But Joki voters felt the

1877
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 2: same way about him. He actually had better numbers, ironically

1878
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: in the last three times he's won the MVP. But

1879
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:51,439
Speaker 2: you take him off the floor. Denver's not Denver. Let's

1880
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 2: be honest. But again, that's that's a topic. That's like

1881
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 2: arguing about your favorite noodland to play the spaghetti So

1882
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 2: back in April, the Boston Celtics got the vast majority

1883
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 2: of the votes fifty eight percent that they would be

1884
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,360
Speaker 2: the team that would win the title this season. Oklahoma

1885
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 2: only seventeen percent, Cleveland ten. The Lakers actually got seven percent.

1886
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:15,559
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Based on what all right, well

1887
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 2: forget it. The majority of the players polled said they

1888
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 2: expect the Celtics to repeat because they believe the way

1889
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 2: Boston stormed through last year playoffs returned all their key players,

1890
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 2: managed to win sixty one regular season games, still are

1891
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 2: able to win any given night bury a team with

1892
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 2: an avalanche of three pointers. What's surprising to me, though,

1893
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 2: is how overwhelming the vast majority fifty eight percent of

1894
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 2: the people said Boston when winning, seventeen percent of the

1895
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 2: people said Oklahoma City. The voters who chose the Celtics again,

1896
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 2: these are guys on the floor. They think their team

1897
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 2: chemistry is great. They got superstars, but they know their

1898
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 2: roles and they put their egos aside. They've been there before.

1899
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 2: They think Cleveland can give him a good run, but

1900
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 2: Boston's been there before. The people who picked the Thunder

1901
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 2: they felt they go, hey, they go ten min deep,

1902
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 2: which they do, deep roster, they play the right way.

1903
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 2: Gonna be toughing to cover all those guys, but I'll

1904
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 2: tell you what, they run into a team Denver in experience,

1905
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 2: this is a great series. It's gonna be a great series,

1906
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 2: and I don't know who's gonna win. A topic that

1907
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 2: I think will get more traction five years from now,

1908
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 2: not now, but five years from now. Who are the

1909
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 2: players in this anonymous pool believe will be the face

1910
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 2: of the league? Overwhelmingly fifty four wemby Victor Wembinyana now

1911
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards no slouch, got fourteen percent of the vote.

1912
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:44,680
Speaker 2: Shay Gill just got eleven percent of the vote. After that,

1913
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:48,000
Speaker 2: it drops off tremendously. If you're wondering about Luca, he

1914
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 2: got two percent of the vote. If you're wondering about

1915
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 2: John Moran, he got two percent of the vote. But

1916
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 2: almost everyone seems to agree that Victor Wembnyama is kind

1917
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 2: of the chosen one. However, he's had a bit of

1918
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:02,520
Speaker 2: a healthcare the end of the season in mid February,

1919
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 2: and so you know, the truth of the matter is,

1920
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 2: I think depending on how far Anthony Edwards goes in

1921
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 2: the playoffs, he says he has no interest in the honor,

1922
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 2: which I doubt that, but he can say that. But

1923
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 2: as Shakespeare once said, heavy is the head of where's

1924
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 2: the crown? You know a lot of I'm channing Fry

1925
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 2: said what two three months ago? Quote, why do you

1926
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 2: want to be the face of the league when all

1927
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 2: the people who cover our game and talk about our

1928
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 2: game on a day to day basis ish on everybody.

1929
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 2: That's not fair. Come on, man, don't beat so thin skin.

1930
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 2: They listen. We are in a society that build people

1931
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 2: up to their highest plateau only to tear them down

1932
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 2: just the way it is. You could be a ballplayer,

1933
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 2: you could be a president, you can be anything, an actor,

1934
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 2: but you don't take with a grain of salt because

1935
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 2: you're paying attention to Again, we don't have royalty in

1936
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 2: this country. They don't issue on everybody. They call him

1937
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 2: out when when things are going well, they call it,

1938
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,640
Speaker 2: and when things aren't they call it as well. That's

1939
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 2: what the job of the media is. True. Journalism is

1940
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 2: dead in this country, but there's plenty of outlets where

1941
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 2: you can see the filter through someone who does this

1942
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 2: for a living. Okay, who's the league's most overrated player?

1943
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 2: Now you heard Mark Madina and I talk about this.

1944
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 2: This shocked me because look how Grady's playing. Tyrese Halliburton.

1945
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:34,679
Speaker 2: Now the ninety votes cast, he got the most fourteen percent,

1946
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 2: but Rudy Gobert, Trey Young, Jimmy Butler were behind him.

1947
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:45,559
Speaker 2: Like twenty five players got votes all right. Thirty three

1948
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 2: players received at least one vote now the rationale for

1949
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburton, who led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference

1950
01:38:56,479 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 2: Finals last year and not only shot nine from the

1951
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:04,720
Speaker 2: floor but got like nine ausists the game. The respondence

1952
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,600
Speaker 2: theorized that maybe Tyre's Haliburton got too much credit for

1953
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 2: that playoff run because Indiana ran Milwaukee off the floor

1954
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:14,560
Speaker 2: in the first round, but they didn't have Giannis. But

1955
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 2: that's not his fault. Okay, you play who gets off

1956
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 2: the bus. Tyreus Halliburton's really had some clutch shots. By

1957
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 2: the way, don't tell his dad this. I know it's

1958
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 2: old news now, it happened nine days ago. But what

1959
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 2: the hell was that all about? I might have a

1960
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:30,560
Speaker 2: thing or two about a little league dead in the

1961
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 2: and then what kind of brand new fool of you

1962
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 2: are coming up here? But look, Rudy Gobert and Trey

1963
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 2: Young finished first and third respectively last year. There's still

1964
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 2: top of mind. Gobert has won the NBA Defensive Player

1965
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 2: of the Year four times, but they're still skeptics about

1966
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:52,320
Speaker 2: what Gobert brings. One unknown, one anonymous player said, quote,

1967
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't understand the Defensive Player of the Year stuff,

1968
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 2: But you don't guard the people who have the ball

1969
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 2: most of the time, the ones who are making most

1970
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 2: of the decisions. Okay, that's it. Side A player on

1971
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 2: the floor would see night in, night out eighty two

1972
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 2: times as opposed to a fan looking and you know

1973
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 2: on the TV tube. Who's the league's most underrated player? Again?

1974
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 2: A bunch of people got votes? Okay, seventy five players

1975
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 2: received at least one vote, but Kate Cunningham got the most.

1976
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if people think he's underrated anymore. And

1977
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 2: Piston's had a hell of a job this year. Derek

1978
01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 2: White might be at Boston. He's a you know, quietly

1979
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 2: goes about his business. Well, Lou Dort made the list,

1980
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:33,479
Speaker 2: Peyton Pritchard made the list. A bunch of I mean,

1981
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 2: seventy five guys, he can't name them all. How about

1982
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 2: nas Reed, He only evely got one percent of the

1983
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:41,439
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, who I think is a terrific player, Maybe

1984
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 2: he really is truly underrated. Okay. The reason Kate Cunningham

1985
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 2: is at the top is because I think before this

1986
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:56,200
Speaker 2: year he was in relative obscurity in Detroit, and you know,

1987
01:40:56,479 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 2: he it's been a rough couple of decades for Detroit

1988
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 2: prior to what happened three weeks ago, they hadn't won

1989
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 2: a playoff game since two thousand and eight. So this

1990
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:09,400
Speaker 2: is this game to the meet that I find interesting.

1991
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 2: Who is the league's best organization? Golden State Warriors twenty

1992
01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 2: two percent of the vote. Not close, Well, Oklahoma City

1993
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 2: was seventeen percent, Boston fifteen, the Clippers eight percent of

1994
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 2: the vote, the Lakers only five. Now makes perfect sense

1995
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:27,760
Speaker 2: the Warriors would win this one, Okay. They do have

1996
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 2: a great reputation around the league as to how they

1997
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,800
Speaker 2: treat their players or sort of a positivity. And the Warriors, look,

1998
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 2: they've won four championships in the last ten years. They've

1999
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 2: come close a few times, say for injuries, it might

2000
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:44,600
Speaker 2: have happened. Look one player who used to play for

2001
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 2: the organization, here's a good he said they were all

2002
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 2: first class. Steve Kerr came from San Antonio. He knew

2003
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 2: a lot of the principles. They do a really good

2004
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:56,639
Speaker 2: job of taking care of the players and their families.

2005
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 2: The resulted the Celtics, they got some love to right. Yes,

2006
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,479
Speaker 2: it was the title run. They've reached the conference finals

2007
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 2: six times. There By the way, the Okse Thunder runaway

2008
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 2: winners of the Front Office Ranking survey, which was six

2009
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 2: months ago. They were the second place finisher. Yes, they

2010
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 2: haven't won a title, and they played one of the

2011
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 2: league's smallest markets. But the truth of the matter is

2012
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 2: from the top down, their owner and the empowers his

2013
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 2: basketball people to run the ship the way they do,

2014
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:31,600
Speaker 2: gives them the autonomy to do their job. It's a

2015
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 2: solid working environment. From what they say. Clippers owner Steve

2016
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 2: Balmer is a guy. I don't know how you don't

2017
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:40,240
Speaker 2: root for this guy. He's very visible, he's very involved,

2018
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 2: he's widely known. He's sort of a dream guy to

2019
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 2: work for in terms of the way he pays his people.

2020
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 2: But the lay he's put, you know, sunk so much

2021
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 2: into the organization in Los Angeles for the Clippers, the

2022
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 2: infrastructure of the staff and the resources. But he's also

2023
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 2: got a passion. I think that's infectious. It's kind of

2024
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 2: a driving force. It resonates with all of his employees,

2025
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:05,200
Speaker 2: including the players. It's a good culture. You know, if

2026
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 2: the basketball gods, maybe Minnesota, you know, they can throw

2027
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:12,439
Speaker 2: them a nod. So our esteam boss, Scott Shapiro, could

2028
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 2: you know, celebrate with this team and maybe down the road,

2029
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:20,000
Speaker 2: maybe our good friend Ben mallor they'll allow the Clippers

2030
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:23,040
Speaker 2: of basketball gods one time. It blows me away about

2031
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:24,240
Speaker 2: this year. I don't want to get off topic.

2032
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:25,920
Speaker 7: This was the year.

2033
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,400
Speaker 2: How many times we've heard, man, what could the Clippers

2034
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 2: do if they had a healthy Kawhi and you got

2035
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 2: other players too, including James Harden. Well, you had the

2036
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 2: healthy core and they couldn't get out of the first round.

2037
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 2: Gotta be maddening. Well, you can't have a vote with

2038
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:46,600
Speaker 2: the league's best organization without all also having you know,

2039
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 2: who is the league's worst organization? This? I don't know how.

2040
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm not qualified to speak intelligently on this. All I

2041
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 2: know is the Charlotte horne has got thirty nine percent

2042
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 2: of the vote, and Charlotte Horrits are one of two

2043
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 2: teams to never have reached the conference finals. Okay, although, well,

2044
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 2: the original Charlotte Hornets, who joined the NBA in nineteen

2045
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 2: eighty eight, moved to New Orleans became the Pelicans. Charlotte

2046
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 2: got a new expansion team twenty years ago on h five.

2047
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 2: They were the Bobcats. Remember that, how'd that work out?

2048
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 2: Then they became the Hornets again. In twenty fifteen. Either way,

2049
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 2: they've never been advanced beyond the conference semi finals, so

2050
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 2: maybe that's why the Wizards got some votes. Blah blah blah.

2051
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 2: So for what it's worth, I don't know the details.

2052
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 2: Did the Charlotte Hornets or voted the league's worst organization?

2053
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 2: So this is also an interesting one to answer, aside

2054
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 2: from your own current coach. Again, what was the you know,

2055
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:55,720
Speaker 2: anonymous answer among the voters, aside from your own current coach,

2056
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 2: who's the best coach in the league? While Mark Dagnol

2057
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 2: of the OKC Thunder, even though he didn't win Coach

2058
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:04,720
Speaker 2: of the Year, but the players made it clear his

2059
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 2: reputation is big time on the rise. Why the culture

2060
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 2: he creates. They buying together, they work together, they have

2061
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 2: fun and play the game with joy. And so he

2062
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 2: was moving up the ranks in this anonymous poll and

2063
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,680
Speaker 2: now he's top And Kenny Atkinson, who's coach of the

2064
01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 2: Year at Cleveland, he got thirty percent of the vote.

2065
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 2: Eric Spolstro doesn't surprise me. He's the longest tenured coach.

2066
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 2: Joel Missoula twelve percent. There's your top four. The more

2067
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,840
Speaker 2: I observe Joel Mizoula. The more I really like him.

2068
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 2: He's a very very interesting guy. Again, the flips out

2069
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 2: of the coin. Aside from you and current coach, who's

2070
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 2: the worst coach in the league. Well, the Wizards didn't

2071
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 2: win a lot of games this year, so Brian Keef

2072
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:57,759
Speaker 2: got the honors there. Washington has started the full rebuild

2073
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. He played rookies, a lot

2074
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:04,960
Speaker 2: of rookies and a lot of second year guys, and

2075
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 2: it'd be tough for any coach to win games with

2076
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:09,639
Speaker 2: that roster. So I don't know, I don't know. Maybe

2077
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:13,600
Speaker 2: one player said, you know, coaches are you know, handicapped

2078
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 2: by whether or not their players get hurt, whether or

2079
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 2: not the front office does the right thing. He just coach,

2080
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 2: brought up Nick Nurse. He's a good coach an the

2081
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 2: right players right now. He went it all with Toronto

2082
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, Mike Budenholzer finished second to Keief. He

2083
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,400
Speaker 2: got fired again for the second time in what four years.

2084
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 2: All Right, we talked about this with Mark Medena. We

2085
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:40,960
Speaker 2: get into the fun part of the Interestingly enough, more

2086
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:43,560
Speaker 2: votes were cast for this than almost any any of

2087
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 2: the topics. Which player in the league would you least

2088
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 2: like to fight? Sixty four percent voted for James Johnson. Well,

2089
01:46:56,080 --> 01:47:00,360
Speaker 2: James Johnson is a mixed martial artist. Okay, he's a

2090
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 2: black belt, and I think he had twenty fights that

2091
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 2: were sanctioned and he was twenty and zero. Isaiah Stewart

2092
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:14,759
Speaker 2: got thirteen percent of the vote. He plays for the Pistons.

2093
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 2: His nickname is b ste He passed up Steven Adams

2094
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 2: as the second most intimidating player in the NBA. Steven

2095
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:30,719
Speaker 2: Adams is now third and it's he apparently Isaiah Stewart.

2096
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 2: I don't remember this event, but apparently Isaiah Stewart, who's

2097
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 2: also called Big Dog, really allegedly chased Lebron all over

2098
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 2: the floor in a November game back of twenty one

2099
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 2: and received votes based on entirely that day. One anonymous

2100
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 2: player described as quote big Dog and Detroit went crazy

2101
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 2: on Lebron and Stewart is a guy who has plenty

2102
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 2: of dust ups. Earlier this season, around Things Giving, he

2103
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 2: had a verbal back and forth with James Johnson, who

2104
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:08,160
Speaker 2: got a technical from the bench, and then in the

2105
01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:11,439
Speaker 2: same game he shoved Thomas Bryant, and then a few

2106
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 2: months later in March. He was at the center of

2107
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 2: that Piston's wolfsite. I remember that in Minnesota that had

2108
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: seven ejections including him. And of course you all know

2109
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 2: who Steven Adams is a good boss boy. Ever, I

2110
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 2: you know, he seems like an interesting guy and he

2111
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 2: looks like Jason Momoa. I don't know what his deal is. Apparently,

2112
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 2: people who've tried to move him around the paint say

2113
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:40,719
Speaker 2: he's just so strong it's incredible. He's got a calm demeanor.

2114
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:42,840
Speaker 2: He doesn't say much or do much. But if you

2115
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 2: ever got made one anonymous player said, he would just

2116
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 2: overpower you and squish you with his thumb. You gotta

2117
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:49,720
Speaker 2: worry about the quiet ones. Those are the ones you

2118
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 2: have to keep an eye for. I certainly agree with that.

2119
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:58,160
Speaker 2: This is another interesting question that the players answered very candidly.

2120
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:00,960
Speaker 2: I think the most votes for this in the three

2121
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 2: point revolution age. Are analytics good or bad for the

2122
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 2: game and why? Thirty nine percent of the NBA players

2123
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 2: said they're bad for the game, twenty eight percent said

2124
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 2: they're good, and the rest were somewhere in the middle.

2125
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:17,560
Speaker 2: One of the biggest criticisms about the NBA is you

2126
01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 2: see less variety than you ever have. The three point

2127
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 2: shot is at the heart of the debate. I mean,

2128
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 2: they shoot more threes, they miss more threes than any

2129
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:28,600
Speaker 2: other era. It's not even close. You emphasize threes and

2130
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 2: you have size laps. It's not a new trend, but

2131
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 2: the trends accelerating. There are nine teams in NBA history

2132
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,799
Speaker 2: that have attempted thirty four hundred threes in a single season,

2133
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 2: and four of them did it this season. The Celtics, Warriors, Bulls,

2134
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 2: and Calves. The mid range shot, post up play. You

2135
01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:47,639
Speaker 2: don't see it much, do you. That's a skill set

2136
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,640
Speaker 2: that's going by the way of the Dodo bird, a

2137
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 2: plurality to players. Okay again, thirty nine percent they think

2138
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 2: analytics are bad for the game. Why do they say that?

2139
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 2: A This is some thoughtful stuff coming from the players.

2140
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:06,519
Speaker 2: I like hearing these types of thoughts. One anonymous player said, quote,

2141
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:09,880
Speaker 2: the game is art. It's like telling a painter, who

2142
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 2: have to include the numbers with your imagination. It hurts

2143
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:16,240
Speaker 2: your creativity. This is art, it's painting on canvas. You

2144
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 2: might tell somebody the three point shot in the layup

2145
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,000
Speaker 2: is the best shot in the game, but sometimes the

2146
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 2: best shot in the game is the in between shot.

2147
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 2: In my opinion, it's not white or black. I think

2148
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 2: creativity is about gray areas. That's what creativity is. It's

2149
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:30,400
Speaker 2: taking the out out of the game. It's robotic. Fans

2150
01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 2: don't want to watch that now. It's doing more harm

2151
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 2: than good. I don't disagree, man. You know, go back

2152
01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 2: to the Showtime Lakers and start there. Basketball is really

2153
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 2: entertaining when you see movement and passing and playmaking and

2154
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 2: getting to the hoop and making the extra pass as

2155
01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 2: opposed to go down, jack up a three, get back

2156
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 2: on defense. Now you look at stats determine if players

2157
01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 2: good or not. Look, I think NBA player are unbelievably skilled,

2158
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 2: gifted athletes.

2159
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 22: And.

2160
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:11,680
Speaker 2: Left to their devices, I think they'll make decisions on

2161
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:15,120
Speaker 2: the floor to take away from the game of basketball.

2162
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:18,960
Speaker 2: I'll never forget this years and years ago, you know,

2163
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:23,000
Speaker 2: long before the Jordan versus Lebron debate, which I don't

2164
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,680
Speaker 2: care what anybody says. I'll take Jordan all day, every day.

2165
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:27,679
Speaker 2: I don't care. I saw him both play court side.

2166
01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 2: If you didn't see him both play courtside, refuge yourself

2167
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 2: in the argument. Okay, If I have one game to win,

2168
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 2: and my life depends on I'm going Michael j end

2169
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 2: of story. Okay, many years ago, the late great chick

2170
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:42,320
Speaker 2: Hearn was asked who would win in a one on

2171
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 2: one contest between Jordan Magic because some people thought Magic,

2172
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 2: some people thought Jordan. Chick Currn simply said, don't ask

2173
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 2: me any dumb questions. Basketball is a team game. Oftentimes

2174
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 2: a regular season version doesn't look like a team game. Now,

2175
01:51:56,560 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 2: I think the product in the postseason's been much better. Okay. Now,

2176
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 2: there are some players who say analytics have a positive impact. Okay,

2177
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 2: they think it helps you determine whether a players good

2178
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 2: or not. I don't know. They asked whether or not

2179
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 2: they like Adam Silver's idea all possibly change into ten

2180
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 2: minute quarters. Seventy nine percent said no, move along, nothing

2181
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 2: to see it, don't change that. Okay, it's not about

2182
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 2: being a purist. Don't change anything. Okay. With the league

2183
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 2: allowing more physicality on the defensive vent, is there enough

2184
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 2: balance in today's game or is it still slanted toward offense? Nope?

2185
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:39,120
Speaker 2: Fifty six percent said it's still slanted too much towards offense.

2186
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 2: Last one, and this is a highly charged one. Are

2187
01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:46,639
Speaker 2: the NBAS gambling partnerships good or bad for the league

2188
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 2: and why forty six percent of the players said they're bad.

2189
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 2: And I think there have been I get it, okay. Now,

2190
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,639
Speaker 2: John Tay Porter the Raptors was banned for the league.

2191
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:00,680
Speaker 2: He bet on games. He was involved then apparently and

2192
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 2: shared inside info. Make no mistake, the NBA got riden

2193
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 2: for optics, okay. And I know there have been many

2194
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 2: incidents where players have been accosted. You missed that for

2195
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 2: you free throw? It costs me my over under. That's

2196
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 2: one of the unintended consequences of gambling in sports. The

2197
01:53:21,400 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is it's been proven time and

2198
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,880
Speaker 2: time again because legalized betting is now come out of

2199
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 2: the shadows, and with the overturning of PASPA back in

2200
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,480
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, is legal now with thirty three states.

2201
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 13: Or so.

2202
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 2: And many others have legislation to legalize it. People watch

2203
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 2: more when they got something on the line. It may

2204
01:53:43,479 --> 01:53:45,120
Speaker 2: be a twenty five point blow up, but they'll stay

2205
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:46,439
Speaker 2: with the game in the last minute to see if

2206
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:48,680
Speaker 2: it goes over or they hit their player. Prop You

2207
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 2: get the picture. So interesting stuff, I thought. I credit

2208
01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:55,879
Speaker 2: to the NBA players for taking time to give some thoughtful,

2209
01:53:56,479 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 2: thoughtful answers to these to these questions. Well, you may

2210
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:04,040
Speaker 2: think it's the NFL offseason, but the NFL off season

2211
01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:08,560
Speaker 2: has several parts. Okay, you got the coaching cycle, the

2212
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 2: free agency, now the draft and the follow up. The

2213
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 2: NFL calendar rages on. I will share with you what's

2214
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:25,320
Speaker 2: on the docket because we're already into me. Were three

2215
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 2: months past the Super Bowl. We're closer to a training

2216
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 2: camp now. But we got rookie mini camps and you

2217
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,200
Speaker 2: got the NFL schedule release. They're gonna rule in the

2218
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:37,440
Speaker 2: tush push band. You got voluntary OTAs. I'm gonna get

2219
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:40,040
Speaker 2: to all that, so you can get your pens and

2220
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 2: pencils out and be brought up to date on the

2221
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:47,520
Speaker 2: NFL calendar because it very much rages on. I'm Bernie Fradle.

2222
01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:49,320
Speaker 2: We are come to your line from the Las Vegas

2223
01:54:49,360 --> 01:54:53,400
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio direct Whoop, I blew it. They're a

2224
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 2: great sponsor Fox Sports Radio, Las Vegas Studios. Keep it locked.

2225
01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:00,000
Speaker 2: Listen to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2226
01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:05,080
Speaker 2: We're back on the Bernie Fratter Show, Fox Sports Radio,

2227
01:55:06,240 --> 01:55:08,400
Speaker 2: eleven minutes top of the hour of the dance sensation

2228
01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 2: sweep of the national kind of brand new fool you've

2229
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 2: followed by what my name? If you think the NFL

2230
01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:18,000
Speaker 2: has an offseason, well fill me in, because I don't

2231
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 2: see it. Because even though the games are played in September, October, November, December, January,

2232
01:55:24,120 --> 01:55:28,880
Speaker 2: and into February, the NFL has an amazing way of

2233
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 2: creating a calendar that never goes away. The indulgence in

2234
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 2: the draft for a full week a couple weeks back.

2235
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 2: So what's up next? Because the off season is multiple phases.

2236
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 2: The coaching cycle. We're through that now, the hirings and firings,

2237
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:50,320
Speaker 2: the free agency phase two, then the draft. Now we're

2238
01:55:50,360 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 2: in what may seem like the longest phase and the

2239
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:57,560
Speaker 2: slowest moving phase. But if you pay attention, there's a

2240
01:55:57,680 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 2: lot of activity because this is the time when a

2241
01:56:00,640 --> 01:56:04,200
Speaker 2: fifth round rookie elect Shador Sanders can make a name

2242
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 2: for himself, or maybe a forty one year old veteran

2243
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:11,320
Speaker 2: like Aaron Rodgers. What's he going to do next? Go

2244
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 2: back to Egypt for a vacation, or go to Pittsburgh

2245
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 2: or nothing, or go on the Pat McAfee show. We

2246
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 2: are in the midst of rookie mini camps, big serious business.

2247
01:56:21,320 --> 01:56:25,600
Speaker 2: Some of the NFL teams started the ninth which is Thursday,

2248
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 2: and they'll wrap up today Sunday to twelfth. Others started Friday,

2249
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:28,920
Speaker 2: they'll end up.

2250
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 13: But you get it.

2251
01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 2: Every team in their facility, all their rookies and undrafted

2252
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 2: free agents, they're going to spend three days and they're

2253
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:40,640
Speaker 2: what you would call the version the NFL's version of

2254
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 2: job orientation. You're fitted for equipment, you're introduced to the staff,

2255
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:49,879
Speaker 2: and you are allowed ten hours a day at the facility.

2256
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 2: Now coaches will start to talk about their playbooks, which

2257
01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:59,160
Speaker 2: if your Chadur Sanders are dealing Gabriel, both quarterbacks drafted

2258
01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. By the way, I heard somebody say they

2259
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,360
Speaker 2: thought Kenny Pickett was getting cut. I'd be shocked. If

2260
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 2: he's cut, What do you do If Joe Flacckel goes down,

2261
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna give the job to Dylan Gabriel or Shodoor Sanders.

2262
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,600
Speaker 2: Come on, you may or may not like Kenny Pickett.

2263
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't care. He's fifteen and ten as a starter

2264
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,640
Speaker 2: who completed sixty two percent of his passes. He knows

2265
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,000
Speaker 2: how he's been in an NFL field. You can't go

2266
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 2: in that barn. Now one of the two are getting cut.

2267
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:26,520
Speaker 2: I think Gid Dylan Gabriel or Shodoor Sanders, or they'll

2268
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 2: lind up on the practice squad. But that's what rookie

2269
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 2: camp is for, all right. Sanders got to Cleveland early

2270
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 2: last week. He's been working out. He went to Thinks

2271
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 2: some high school to work out and had had some

2272
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:43,880
Speaker 2: fans cheering for him. Jalen Milroe, he's already in a

2273
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:48,160
Speaker 2: Seahawks uniform taking snaps. Things look promising. The next big

2274
01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 2: thing this Wednesday, this schedule release. Now we already know

2275
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 2: all the opponents for all thirty two teams, but you

2276
01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:56,200
Speaker 2: don't know when and where they play. But you do

2277
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 2: know this. The Browns, Jets, and Jaguars will play games

2278
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 2: in London this year. Chargers will play a game in Brazil,

2279
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 2: Steelers will play a game in Ireland, the Coasts will

2280
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:06,040
Speaker 2: play a game in Germany, and the Dolphins in Spain.

2281
01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:10,920
Speaker 2: Five different countries. The following Wednesday. Remember the tush push

2282
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 2: ban they went over with in the meetings. Then they

2283
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:18,000
Speaker 2: couldn't come to a conclusion. Well, it needs twenty four

2284
01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:20,960
Speaker 2: votes to pass, all right. Kind of like the NFL's

2285
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:24,120
Speaker 2: version of the conclave. They're gonna pick a whether or

2286
01:58:24,160 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 2: not the tush. They're gonna ban the tush push. Now

2287
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:28,960
Speaker 2: you get into late May and early June, it starts

2288
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:32,680
Speaker 2: to get more real voluntary OTAs, which stands for official

2289
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:33,600
Speaker 2: team activities.

2290
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:34,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

2291
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:37,520
Speaker 2: And again back to Shidoor Sanders. He's gonna compete with

2292
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel and you know, can you pick it? Even

2293
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, he'll be part of those OTAs. No live contact,

2294
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 2: but seven on seven, eleven on eleven drills. Post June one,

2295
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:53,959
Speaker 2: you start to get into cuts, trades, cap space, free agency.

2296
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:55,480
Speaker 14: Uh, you know.

2297
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:58,880
Speaker 2: Uh. And then June ten and between June tenth and twelfth,

2298
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 2: those are the men indatory mini camps. Now Varon Rodgers

2299
01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 2: isn't in Pittsburgh by then, I don't know what the

2300
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:07,840
Speaker 2: hell's going on. Okay, that ends the nine week voluntary

2301
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:11,280
Speaker 2: off season program. And now you might get to see

2302
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 2: Shodoor Sanders take reps with the entire Browns offense. But

2303
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:16,600
Speaker 2: I think he's fourth on the death chart right now,

2304
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 2: just my humble opinion. Then you got franchise tag and

2305
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 2: then you get to mid July, and there you go

2306
01:59:23,080 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 2: teams are in camp, and believe me, it's gonna go fast.

2307
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:29,680
Speaker 2: You know it is the NFL is you know the

2308
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 2: world right now coming up? What kind of brand new

Speaker 2: fool you followed by? What my name? Keep it locked?

2310
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio.

2311
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:41,000
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2312
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 2: Well, that trait you heard, the man Bernie Frattle Show

2313

Speaker 2: keeps rolling right along. My name is Bernie Frattler. We're

2314
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 2: coming to the line from the Fox Sports Radio studios

2319
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:03,640

2320
02:00:04,440 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 2: sweep in the nation, you see, because as Yogi Berra

2321
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:10,360
Speaker 2: once said, we can observe a lot by watching, which

2322
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 2: is what we do. Because every day, all day, across

2323
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:16,080
Speaker 2: this great land of ours, from sea to oily Sea

2324
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 2: and around the globe, well, people engage in behaviors, and

2325
02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:23,200
Speaker 2: sometimes these behaviors, well they raise questions and raise eyebrows,

2326
02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:27,840
Speaker 2: and you know, oftentimes they're innocuous and silly and harmless.

2327
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:31,320
Speaker 2: But many other times they can be more serious, run

2328
02:00:31,360 --> 02:00:33,520
Speaker 2: a foul of law, and even in land you in jail.

2329
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:38,200
Speaker 2: But any way you slice it, any way you characterize it,

2330
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 2: any way you describe these behaviors, will they always leave

2331
02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:45,640
Speaker 2: us scratching our heads and asking us, what kind of

2332
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:52,840
Speaker 2: brand new fool are you? So?

2333
02:00:53,360 --> 02:00:55,280
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2334
02:00:56,840 --> 02:01:01,800
Speaker 2: So? Today we take you to New Jersey and little

2335
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:05,480
Speaker 2: league baseball is off and running off around all around

2336
02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 2: the country. And it's, you know, an honorable thing to

2337
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:12,680
Speaker 2: coach a little league team. And even Yogi Berra once

2338
02:01:12,720 --> 02:01:15,520
Speaker 2: said the thing I like most about little league baseball

2339
02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:18,840
Speaker 2: it keeps parents off the streets. Well, he might not

2340
02:01:18,960 --> 02:01:24,520
Speaker 2: be wrong. We'll take you to Manchester, New Jersey. Thank you, Mark,

2341
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:29,560
Speaker 2: And we introduced you to a Michael W's. He seems

2342
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:33,000
Speaker 2: like an upstanding man. He's fifty two years old. He's

2343
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,360
Speaker 2: an employer for the State Division of Child Protection and Permanency,

2344
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:41,320
Speaker 2: and he's also the manager and treasurer for a ten

2345
02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:47,720
Speaker 2: under travel baseball team. According to well the authorities, and

2346
02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 2: part of that, you know, they've got a budget and

2347
02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:52,240
Speaker 2: they've got money in the coffers, and the money is

2348
02:01:52,360 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 2: used to you know, buy equipment and pay entry fees

2349
02:01:54,960 --> 02:02:01,200
Speaker 2: for tournaments and other team related expenses. Unfortunately, about sixty

2350
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:05,680
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars went missing. So what do you do

2351
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:11,640
Speaker 2: when you discover thousands of dollars had been stolen from

2352
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 2: the youth baseball team. Well, the coaches and team representatives

2353
02:02:18,160 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 2: called the police, and unfortunately for Michael W, they thought

2354
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:29,200
Speaker 2: they believed that Michael W was quote misappropriating the money

2355
02:02:29,280 --> 02:02:32,000
Speaker 2: is that the players had raised from fundraising activities a

2356
02:02:32,040 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 2: total of sixty five one hundred dollars. Well, as the

2357
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 2: story continues, it became known that Michael W, if he

2358
02:02:44,240 --> 02:02:46,920
Speaker 2: didn't come clean, would face charges of theft of over

2359
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:50,080
Speaker 2: sixty five hundred issuing a bat check over five hundred.

2360
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:54,760
Speaker 2: But was it going to be arrested yet? So Michael

2361
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:59,320
Speaker 2: W swings into action. He does whatevery brand new fool

2362
02:02:59,320 --> 02:02:59,600
Speaker 2: would do.

2363
02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Well.

2364
02:03:01,480 --> 02:03:04,760
Speaker 2: His intentions were good. He wanted to pay the money back.

2365
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 2: So what does he do? He goes to a town

2366
02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 2: called Berkeley and tries to rob a bank. Tries to

2367
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:16,920
Speaker 2: rob a bank because he honestly wanted to make good

2368
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:21,400
Speaker 2: on his debt, because he had pissed away a large

2369
02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:23,880
Speaker 2: amount of cash that was meant for equipment and things

2370
02:03:24,080 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 2: of that nature. Well, Berkeley police said he held up

2371
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 2: a bank on Jamaica Boulevard in a shopping center. He

2372
02:03:32,080 --> 02:03:34,800
Speaker 2: was actually wearing a mask, dark clothing, making off with

2373
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:37,640
Speaker 2: an unsclosed amount of cash, but no weapon was showed,

2374
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:41,440
Speaker 2: No interests were reported, but regardless, the patrol officers and

2375
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:45,760
Speaker 2: detectives secured the area. They obtained surveillance footage from nearby homes.

2376
02:03:45,800 --> 02:03:50,520
Speaker 2: They spotted mister W's car. By the way, it was

2377
02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:54,480
Speaker 2: a company vehicles the Division of Child Protection and Permancy

2378
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:58,080
Speaker 2: parked a distance away from the mall, because you know,

2379
02:03:58,160 --> 02:03:59,919
Speaker 2: he wanted to trick the detective.

2380
02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:01,320
Speaker 4: The guy's a bum.

2381
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:06,760
Speaker 2: That's a good one. So so here's a guy coaches

2382
02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:10,080
Speaker 2: little league, steals sixty five hundred dollars meant for equipment,

2383
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:12,600
Speaker 2: wants to pay it back, and oh, by the way,

2384
02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 2: he robs a bank to try to pay it back.

2385
02:04:16,320 --> 02:04:19,320
Speaker 2: Now he's facing all kinds of chargers and he's in

2386
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 2: big trouble. And the story started to boor me. So

2387
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:25,080
Speaker 2: I have nothing left to say except to say, Michael W.

2388
02:04:26,160 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool of you? Okay, Brianna,

2389
02:04:31,520 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 2: you're up next.

2390
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:35,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's always the right idea, right, I don't have

2391
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:37,000
Speaker 8: the money, so let me go rob a bank.

2392
02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:39,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's always He's.

2393
02:04:38,920 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 2: A brand new fool, all right.

2394
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:43,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, So we're actually going to head out of the

2395
02:04:43,320 --> 02:04:47,320
Speaker 8: country and we're gonna go to Vancouver. A Vancouver man,

2396
02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 8: Tyler Long, faces chargers of first degree burgerley, first degree theft,

2397
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:57,960
Speaker 8: first and second degree criminal mischief, first degree, aggravated theft,

2398
02:04:58,160 --> 02:05:02,440
Speaker 8: and aggravated identity theft. So all of those charges and

2399
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:06,160
Speaker 8: what he was doing he was cutting or he was

2400
02:05:06,200 --> 02:05:10,560
Speaker 8: stealing merchandise worth tens of thousands of dollars, cutting his

2401
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:16,080
Speaker 8: way through stores walls, so kind of entering one store

2402
02:05:16,120 --> 02:05:19,560
Speaker 8: and then cutting his way into the next one. So

2403
02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:24,800
Speaker 8: from mid November to late December, he busted into four stores,

2404
02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:27,960
Speaker 8: a AT and T store, a pawn shop, a jewelry store,

2405
02:05:28,080 --> 02:05:29,560
Speaker 8: and a nail shop, which.

2406
02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:33,200
Speaker 9: Is super weird. So he would break and he brought

2407
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 9: He broke into an empty.

2408
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:37,320
Speaker 8: Real tape a retail space that shared a wall with

2409
02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 8: the business that he was specifically targeting, and cut a

2410
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:43,360
Speaker 8: hole into the wall to give him straight up access

2411
02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:47,040
Speaker 8: to the adjacent store. At the first stop. It was

2412
02:05:47,080 --> 02:05:50,120
Speaker 8: a AT and T store in North Portland. He is

2413
02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 8: accused of stealing three iPads, smartphones, a computer, a Wi

2414
02:05:54,760 --> 02:05:59,440
Speaker 8: Fi router and a DVR, a customer's phone, and multiple

2415
02:05:59,680 --> 02:06:03,560
Speaker 8: store keys. A week later, he hit a jewelry buyer

2416
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 8: and took about six six hundred diamond earrings, five diamond

2417
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:11,480
Speaker 8: bracelets worth a combined total of over two thousand dollars,

2418
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 8: and a tray of various pieces of jewelry worth about

2419
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:17,440
Speaker 8: one thousand dollars. Later that day, he tried to sell

2420
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 8: five of the stolen diamond earrings at another pawn shop.

2421
02:06:22,320 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 8: A month later, he struck again at another jewelry store

2422
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 8: and made off with about twenty four thousand dollars in merchandise.

2423
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:34,040
Speaker 8: He got caught because his ex girlfriend tried to pawn

2424
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 8: off some of the stolen jewelry and the pawn shop

2425
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:42,360
Speaker 8: employee recognized the items that had already belonged to the store. So,

2426
02:06:42,640 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 8: I mean that was like a combined you know, Bonnie

2427
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:50,560
Speaker 8: and Clyde. Not very smart KINDI delio. The police executed

2428
02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:54,520
Speaker 8: a search warrant on their home and found also ammunition,

2429
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:59,879
Speaker 8: gun holsters and gun magazines inside. He was previously convicted

2430
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:02,120
Speaker 8: of a possession of a gun aggravated. I didn't need

2431
02:07:02,240 --> 02:07:07,360
Speaker 8: that to end methifanity mean possession. There's no bail at

2432
02:07:07,400 --> 02:07:10,440
Speaker 8: this time, and he was obviously arrested with all those

2433
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 8: charges that I first mentioned at the beginning of the story.

2434
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:15,960
Speaker 8: Tyler Long, dude, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2435
02:07:18,480 --> 02:07:20,880
Speaker 2: That is what you call a brand new fool?

2436
02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 8: Wow, that's crazy. That's like some shawshing stuff, but like

2437
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:26,520
Speaker 8: shopping wise trying to cut through things.

2438
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:30,680
Speaker 2: You know, good to see Canada getting into the act.

2439
02:07:30,800 --> 02:07:34,280
Speaker 2: So bottom line is that's why we do this brand

2440
02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 2: new fool. It's just amazing these stories that are frankly,

2441
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:41,960
Speaker 2: they're published stories, and the brand new Fool segment's been

2442
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:44,160
Speaker 2: a staple of this show now for what three years?

2443
02:07:44,240 --> 02:07:49,320
Speaker 2: Four years? All right? That will conclude another raucous segment

2444
02:07:49,400 --> 02:07:52,760
Speaker 2: of what kind of brand new fool you, which follows

2445
02:07:52,840 --> 02:07:56,000
Speaker 2: up with our second favorite bit that we refer to

2446
02:07:56,240 --> 02:08:03,160
Speaker 2: as what my name? All right? Boxing is in the

2447
02:08:03,240 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 2: news with Manny Pacio, So we thought we'd start with

2448
02:08:05,480 --> 02:08:11,640
Speaker 2: a boxing question. My nickname was the greatest, and I

2449
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:14,480
Speaker 2: had a statement I can float like a butterfly and

2450
02:08:14,560 --> 02:08:19,760
Speaker 2: sting like a bee. A'm a boxer, former boxer, of course,

2451
02:08:20,520 --> 02:08:21,960
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey. What my name.

2452
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:25,800
Speaker 9: Muhammad Ali? Almost nicely done?

2453
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:27,120
Speaker 2: All right?

2454
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Well, wow, bonus points.

2455
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Mark, nicely done? Alright. Now we flip to baseball. Baseball

2456
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:40,520
Speaker 2: is in full swing. All right. Even though I make

2457
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:45,000
Speaker 2: thirty million a year, I refuse to play first base

2458
02:08:45,760 --> 02:08:48,720
Speaker 2: for my team. And now it has made front page news.

2459
02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 2: Here's a clue. I play for an American League East

2460
02:08:53,880 --> 02:08:57,480
Speaker 2: team in the same division as the Yankees, Brianna.

2461
02:08:57,560 --> 02:08:59,640
Speaker 9: What my name Raphael Devers?

2462
02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:03,680
Speaker 2: It is Rafael Devers. Of course. We had our guy

2463
02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:07,320
Speaker 2: Jeff Austin on a few weeks ago when Devers is

2464
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:09,560
Speaker 2: fighting to give up third base when they got Alex

2465
02:09:09,600 --> 02:09:12,560
Speaker 2: Bregman and he went to DH And now just just

2466
02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:15,160
Speaker 2: a bad look all the way around for Raffeyel Devers.

2467
02:09:14,920 --> 02:09:15,560
Speaker 8: So dramatic.

2468
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:22,800
Speaker 2: So back to football. I am the Raiders all time

2469
02:09:23,040 --> 02:09:30,280
Speaker 2: leader as a quarterback in touchdown passes with two hundred

2470
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:34,320
Speaker 2: and fifty five. Mark Ramsey is my name? Jim Plunkett,

2471
02:09:34,480 --> 02:09:36,320
Speaker 2: Kenny Stabler or Derek Carr.

2472
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:41,320
Speaker 9: Can we eliminate Darryl Lamonica?

2473
02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:43,480
Speaker 2: We can eliminate Darryl Lomnica.

2474
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:45,320
Speaker 9: It's a good name, though, is it Plunkett?

2475
02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:49,600
Speaker 2: It is not Jim Plunkett, although he did win two

2476
02:09:49,680 --> 02:09:55,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. I'm the all time quarterback Raiders leading touchdown passer.

2477
02:09:57,320 --> 02:10:02,920
Speaker 2: Jim Plunkett, Darryl Lamonica, Kenny Stabler, or Derek Carr. Brianna,

2478
02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:03,480
Speaker 2: what my name?

2479
02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:04,720
Speaker 9: That's Derek Carr.

2480
02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 2: It is, in fact Derek Carr, who uh, I'll get

2481
02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 2: through his retirement. A little bit later, he gave up

2482
02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:14,680
Speaker 2: thirty million to retire. I've always run hot and cold

2483
02:10:14,720 --> 02:10:17,440
Speaker 2: on Derek Carr, but you can't deny he did. He

2484
02:10:17,520 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 2: did lead the Raiders all time and touchdown passes all right.

2485
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:24,200
Speaker 2: Back to baseball. I am now the first Major League

2486
02:10:24,240 --> 02:10:30,640
Speaker 2: baseball field manager to be fired this season. Here's a clue.

2487
02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:34,320
Speaker 2: I have the same first name as the Raider quarterback

2488
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:37,920
Speaker 2: who threw the most touchdown passes in a career. Brianna,

2489
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:38,640
Speaker 2: what my name.

2490
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 9: Derek Something?

2491
02:10:42,160 --> 02:10:46,880
Speaker 2: It is Derek Something. It was the Pittsburgh Pirates. Oh

2492
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:47,440
Speaker 2: the team.

2493
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, No, no, not the team.

2494
02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:52,360
Speaker 2: What's the name of the manager? It did's ob scure, I.

2495
02:10:52,320 --> 02:10:55,840
Speaker 8: Wouldn't it's I'm just gonna say Langley. I don't know.

2496
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:58,560
Speaker 8: I completely forgot all right.

2497
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:05,000
Speaker 2: It's not Derek Langley. So Mark, I'm the first major

2498
02:11:05,080 --> 02:11:08,760
Speaker 2: league baseball manager to be fired in the twenty twenty

2499
02:11:08,800 --> 02:11:12,600
Speaker 2: five season. So you know my first name is Derek.

2500
02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 2: Here's a good clue for you, Mark, I have the

2501
02:11:15,280 --> 02:11:20,120
Speaker 2: same last name as a very famous country star whose

2502
02:11:20,120 --> 02:11:21,280
Speaker 2: first name happens to be Blake.

2503
02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:24,879
Speaker 9: Mark with my name, Blake Shelton.

2504
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 2: You got the last name, right, what's the first name

2505
02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 2: is it?

2506
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:35,120
Speaker 27: Put the two together, Blake Shelton.

2507
02:11:35,520 --> 02:11:37,080
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, I get I'm all confused.

2508
02:11:37,120 --> 02:11:39,960
Speaker 2: So he's got the same first name as the Raiders quarterback.

2509
02:11:43,480 --> 02:11:45,720
Speaker 1: It is, in fact, Derek Shelton.

2510
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:53,160
Speaker 2: We'll give you credit. What the hell my clues are, Plucky. Now,

2511
02:11:53,280 --> 02:11:55,800
Speaker 2: I happen to be the all time Raiders quarterback in

2512
02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:58,680
Speaker 2: terms of leader in passing yards.

2513
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Speaker 8: Brianna, with my name, I'm gonna go Kenny Stabler just

2514
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:06,840
Speaker 8: because you brought him up earlier, I.

2515
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:10,800
Speaker 2: Should give you choices Stabler, Jim Plunkett or Derek Carr.

2516
02:12:10,960 --> 02:12:13,240
Speaker 8: I just go Derek Carr again to the retirement game.

2517
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:17,280
Speaker 2: It is Derek Carr. And I'm not a Derek Carr fan,

2518
02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:19,880
Speaker 2: but I have to give the man his props because

2519
02:12:20,600 --> 02:12:25,080
Speaker 2: in his you know, tenure as a Raider never won

2520
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:27,400
Speaker 2: a playoff game. I thought when the game mattered most,

2521
02:12:27,440 --> 02:12:29,720
Speaker 2: he was not at his best. But he did lead

2522
02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:36,160
Speaker 2: the team all time in touchdown passes and in passing yards. Okay,

2523
02:12:36,240 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 2: final one, Mark, I just know you're gonna get this

2524
02:12:39,640 --> 02:12:43,800
Speaker 2: one because just because, for multiple reasons, even though it's

2525
02:12:43,840 --> 02:12:48,360
Speaker 2: been thirty nine years, I still hold the NBA playoff

2526
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:51,680
Speaker 2: record for scoring the most points in an NBA playoff

2527
02:12:51,760 --> 02:12:56,200
Speaker 2: game was sixty three. I will give you a clue, Mark,

2528
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 2: he played in the city you're very familiar with. He's

2529
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 2: a Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan.

2530
02:13:08,600 --> 02:13:09,520
Speaker 9: Oh, Michael Jordan.

2531
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:13,200
Speaker 2: It is, in fact Michael Jordan when April of nineteen

2532
02:13:13,240 --> 02:13:17,080
Speaker 2: eighty six scored sixty three points in a playoff game,

2533
02:13:18,200 --> 02:13:18,960
Speaker 2: never been broken.

2534
02:13:19,240 --> 02:13:22,240
Speaker 9: I thought you were gonna go for Bob Butterbean.

2535
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:29,040
Speaker 2: Love, another Chicago guy. Well, to be fair, the game

2536
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:32,920
Speaker 2: actually had to go double overtime, but it didn't matter. Jordan, Man, dude,

2537
02:13:33,560 --> 02:13:38,080
Speaker 2: he's still still got it. I'm a big Michael Jordan fan.

2538
02:13:38,480 --> 02:13:40,800
Speaker 2: All right, great job tonight on what kind of brand

2539
02:13:40,840 --> 02:13:44,440
Speaker 2: new fool and what my name? That will conclude another

2540
02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 2: rousing edition of those two episodes, and thanks for all

2541
02:13:48,440 --> 02:13:52,440
Speaker 2: the participation. By the way, let's real quickly deal with

2542
02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:58,800
Speaker 2: the Derek Carr retirement because it's been reported, by the way,

2543
02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:01,080
Speaker 2: he gave up thirty million to retire, and it's been

2544
02:14:01,080 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 2: awkward for months. Frankly, Okay, I think you know in

2545
02:14:06,680 --> 02:14:09,880
Speaker 2: a nutshell, Derek Carr will give up thirty million in

2546
02:14:09,960 --> 02:14:12,880
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed pay that would have been his base salary

2547
02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:17,480
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five. Car that will get to keep

2548
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:24,400
Speaker 2: a ten million dollar roster bonus that he earned in March. Also,

2549
02:14:24,520 --> 02:14:27,440
Speaker 2: the Saints will not seek recovery or the remaining allocation

2550
02:14:28,080 --> 02:14:30,160
Speaker 2: of a twenty eight million dollars signing bonus that he

2551
02:14:30,200 --> 02:14:32,919
Speaker 2: got back in twenty twenty three. Now, Car had options.

2552
02:14:33,200 --> 02:14:38,760
Speaker 2: He could have undergone shoulder surgery, not played this year,

2553
02:14:39,480 --> 02:14:42,880
Speaker 2: pocketed the thirty million, and made a decision later about

2554
02:14:42,920 --> 02:14:47,840
Speaker 2: his future after the Soldier shirt the shoulder surgery. But

2555
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:51,839
Speaker 2: what this path does is allow him to delay the surgery,

2556
02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:54,480
Speaker 2: maybe never have to get the surgery. Since he's not

2557
02:14:54,520 --> 02:14:58,880
Speaker 2: going to play football, he can avoid recovery rehab and

2558
02:14:59,040 --> 02:15:02,280
Speaker 2: I think you know that he's Look, don't cry any tears.

2559
02:15:02,320 --> 02:15:04,160
Speaker 2: For he's at a he's at a career, he's made

2560
02:15:04,160 --> 02:15:07,400
Speaker 2: over two hundred million dollars in career earnings. And the

2561
02:15:07,480 --> 02:15:10,720
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is he's tried to he's tried

2562
02:15:10,760 --> 02:15:14,640
Speaker 2: to work this through rehab, He's taken injections, and he

2563
02:15:14,800 --> 02:15:18,320
Speaker 2: delayed it. And the medical evaluations determined he would have

2564
02:15:18,440 --> 02:15:23,240
Speaker 2: needed a shoulder procedure, a surgical procedure completely necessary to

2565
02:15:23,400 --> 02:15:27,040
Speaker 2: fully repairs which happens to be his his throwing arm right.

2566
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:32,320
Speaker 2: And apparently last month, while he was trying to ramp

2567
02:15:32,440 --> 02:15:36,240
Speaker 2: up Carr was trying to ramp up his workouts, he

2568
02:15:36,320 --> 02:15:39,880
Speaker 2: started to experience a lot of pain. And that pain

2569
02:15:40,320 --> 02:15:44,120
Speaker 2: came when he, you know, the acid test was throwing

2570
02:15:44,160 --> 02:15:46,520
Speaker 2: a football. So he started to throw a football at

2571
02:15:46,520 --> 02:15:49,840
Speaker 2: a more significant volume during his workouts. And when you

2572
02:15:49,920 --> 02:15:53,280
Speaker 2: look at look, December was not a nice month for

2573
02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Derek Carr. He not only had the shoulder injury, he

2574
02:15:56,200 --> 02:16:00,120
Speaker 2: had a concussion and a left hand injury. And the

2575
02:16:00,200 --> 02:16:02,800
Speaker 2: medical scans determined that he had a label tear. This

2576
02:16:02,880 --> 02:16:06,680
Speaker 2: is serious business. But he's also got degenerative issues in

2577
02:16:06,720 --> 02:16:10,560
Speaker 2: his rotator cuff. Right. Let's say car would have gotten

2578
02:16:10,600 --> 02:16:15,800
Speaker 2: the surgery today he'd been sidelined minimum through Thanksgiving, so

2579
02:16:15,920 --> 02:16:18,600
Speaker 2: he would have been on injured reserve for the entire

2580
02:16:18,720 --> 02:16:21,960
Speaker 2: season for next year. Just no way around that. So

2581
02:16:22,160 --> 02:16:24,240
Speaker 2: rather than go through that process, he says, look, I've

2582
02:16:24,280 --> 02:16:28,680
Speaker 2: played eleven years, thirty four years old, only able to

2583
02:16:28,720 --> 02:16:31,520
Speaker 2: play ten games last season because of the hand injury

2584
02:16:32,840 --> 02:16:36,400
Speaker 2: against the New York Giants. Then he cleared concussion protocol.

2585
02:16:36,480 --> 02:16:39,200
Speaker 2: Then he missed the final four games and entered his

2586
02:16:39,440 --> 02:16:44,360
Speaker 2: right shoulder on the play his final play, and he

2587
02:16:44,480 --> 02:16:49,920
Speaker 2: basically says, look, he's seen the MRI reports, he's been

2588
02:16:49,959 --> 02:16:54,280
Speaker 2: in constant communication with the medical staff. But he also said,

2589
02:16:54,959 --> 02:16:56,240
Speaker 2: we're going to figure it out, We're going to go

2590
02:16:56,320 --> 02:16:59,160
Speaker 2: forward with it. So I've never really taken Derek car seriously.

2591
02:16:59,240 --> 02:17:02,200
Speaker 2: I know that when they're thoughts that the Raiders were

2592
02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:04,320
Speaker 2: going to move on from him for obvious reasons with

2593
02:17:04,400 --> 02:17:08,080
Speaker 2: two games to go. Three years ago before that, he said, no,

2594
02:17:08,280 --> 02:17:10,680
Speaker 2: if if the Raiders trade me, I'll play golf re

2595
02:17:10,720 --> 02:17:12,000
Speaker 2: us of my life. I'll ever be a Raider. Then

2596
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:14,760
Speaker 2: he ends up going to the Saints, and you know,

2597
02:17:14,879 --> 02:17:18,280
Speaker 2: I think Saints fans would agree he was fairly underwhelming

2598
02:17:18,560 --> 02:17:20,640
Speaker 2: with the Saints, But look, he had an eleven year career.

2599
02:17:21,360 --> 02:17:23,200
Speaker 2: He did have two years remaining on a four year

2600
02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:26,000
Speaker 2: deal for a buck fifty. The team even restructured the

2601
02:17:26,040 --> 02:17:28,320
Speaker 2: deal to make it a one year agreement. They saved

2602
02:17:28,360 --> 02:17:30,560
Speaker 2: thirty million on the salary cap. No car again keeps

2603
02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:34,000
Speaker 2: the ten million dollar bonus, but wives the waves off

2604
02:17:34,080 --> 02:17:39,280
Speaker 2: on the thirty million two years. Did his numbers look terrible? No,

2605
02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:43,080
Speaker 2: six thousand yard it's forty touchdowns, thirteen interceptions. I think

2606
02:17:43,120 --> 02:17:46,080
Speaker 2: that was very, very, you know, sort of deceiving. I

2607
02:17:46,760 --> 02:17:48,440
Speaker 2: didn't care for him with the Raiders. I just don't

2608
02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:50,440
Speaker 2: think he's a high leverage player in high leverage moments.

2609
02:17:50,520 --> 02:17:53,680
Speaker 2: Just just my opinion, Okay, but I think his legacy secure.

2610
02:17:53,720 --> 02:17:56,680
Speaker 2: He played quarterback in the NFL for eleven years. I

2611
02:17:56,800 --> 02:17:58,560
Speaker 2: know he was way under five hundred with the Raiders

2612
02:17:58,600 --> 02:18:01,440
Speaker 2: as he started. Same with the Saints. But you're not

2613
02:18:01,520 --> 02:18:07,080
Speaker 2: gonna have Derek Carr to kick around anymore. Coming up,

2614
02:18:07,120 --> 02:18:09,920
Speaker 2: I want to get to the Cleveland Browns quarterback room.

2615
02:18:10,560 --> 02:18:15,080
Speaker 2: It's a weird quarterback room, and you wonder what the

2616
02:18:15,120 --> 02:18:18,400
Speaker 2: hell they're gonna do because it's a little bit more

2617
02:18:18,440 --> 02:18:20,920
Speaker 2: complicated than you think. By the way you can stream

2632
02:19:07,040 --> 02:19:10,760
Speaker 2: doing this year? They've won twenty six games. They've won

2633
02:19:11,200 --> 02:19:15,280
Speaker 2: more games than any other team in the National League.

2634
02:19:16,400 --> 02:19:19,800
Speaker 2: And I told you a while back, don't hate on

2635
02:19:19,879 --> 02:19:23,199
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. It's not that they just outspent everybody. Okay,

2636
02:19:23,280 --> 02:19:28,520
Speaker 2: that's not fair. They aren't doing anything any other of

2637
02:19:28,640 --> 02:19:32,640
Speaker 2: the teams can't, right, other teams offered Choliotani seven hundred million.

2638
02:19:32,920 --> 02:19:35,840
Speaker 2: He wanted to be with the Dodgers. Same with Yamamoto.

2639
02:19:35,920 --> 02:19:37,680
Speaker 2: He had a twelve year, three hundred and twenty five

2640
02:19:37,720 --> 02:19:40,600
Speaker 2: dollars three hundred twenty five million dollar contract offer on

2641
02:19:40,640 --> 02:19:43,800
Speaker 2: the table with the Mets. He chose the Dodgers. Roasi

2642
02:19:43,840 --> 02:19:47,640
Speaker 2: Sasaki he chose the Dodgers. Left four million on the

2643
02:19:47,720 --> 02:19:50,760
Speaker 2: table that the Potteries offered him. Ti Oscar hernanders Is

2644
02:19:50,760 --> 02:19:53,440
Speaker 2: having a fabulous year, left five million on the table,

2645
02:19:53,520 --> 02:19:56,240
Speaker 2: maybe six million to stay with the Dodgers. Why, he said,

2646
02:19:57,280 --> 02:20:01,360
Speaker 2: quote the Dodgers they're different, different. They think about everybody,

2647
02:20:01,480 --> 02:20:03,320
Speaker 2: not only the players. One of the things I can

2648
02:20:03,360 --> 02:20:05,040
Speaker 2: do in the field. For me, they just give me

2649
02:20:05,120 --> 02:20:09,160
Speaker 2: the confidence I never got that other places that I work. Now, well,

2650
02:20:09,200 --> 02:20:12,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers repeat, I don't know nobody's done it in

2651
02:20:12,120 --> 02:20:14,760
Speaker 2: twenty five years, but believe me, they're gonna be in

2652
02:20:14,760 --> 02:20:17,280
Speaker 2: the postseason tournament and it will be a great story

2653
02:20:17,320 --> 02:20:20,240
Speaker 2: to watch. And if you follow this team even casually,

2654
02:20:21,320 --> 02:20:26,720
Speaker 2: they just continue to do things that you say, just

2655
02:20:26,800 --> 02:20:28,920
Speaker 2: when you think you've seen it all, you see something new.

2656
02:20:29,080 --> 02:20:32,840
Speaker 2: Friday Night, the Dodgers became the only team in Major

2657
02:20:32,920 --> 02:20:35,760
Speaker 2: League Baseball history two first. They took the lead in

2658
02:20:35,800 --> 02:20:39,680
Speaker 2: the games it is at Arizona courtesy my buddy Doug Anderson.

2659
02:20:41,040 --> 02:20:43,360
Speaker 2: They took the lead, then all of a sudden they

2660
02:20:43,400 --> 02:20:47,920
Speaker 2: found themselves trailing by two runs. Then they took the

2661
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:53,240
Speaker 2: lead again and led by five runs. Then somehow they

2662
02:20:53,320 --> 02:20:59,040
Speaker 2: fell behind by three runs. Then they finally won the

2663
02:20:59,120 --> 02:21:04,200
Speaker 2: game by three runs. All the same game. Get the lead,

2664
02:21:04,800 --> 02:21:07,440
Speaker 2: surrounded the lead, trail by two, then lead by five,

2665
02:21:07,560 --> 02:21:09,640
Speaker 2: then trail by three, then lead by three. They win

2666
02:21:09,720 --> 02:21:12,360
Speaker 2: the game, all in the same game. They've been playing

2667
02:21:12,400 --> 02:21:15,600
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball now for one hundred and fifty years.

2668
02:21:16,360 --> 02:21:19,520
Speaker 2: That has never been done before until Friday night. Like

2669
02:21:19,640 --> 02:21:23,840
Speaker 2: I said, with the Dodgers, well, just when you think

2670
02:21:23,879 --> 02:21:27,560
Speaker 2: you've seen it all, you see something new. Sometimes that's

2671
02:21:27,640 --> 02:21:31,800
Speaker 2: the case. And that other goofy sport they spell futbol,

2672
02:21:32,400 --> 02:21:34,000
Speaker 2: they call it soccer. He'll be covered all on the

2673
02:21:34,040 --> 02:21:37,480
Speaker 2: Bernie Fouder Show. It's time Chris Purfetts World.

2674
02:21:37,280 --> 02:21:49,959
Speaker 28: Of Soccer, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

2675
02:21:55,280 --> 02:21:58,680
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2676
02:21:59,080 --> 02:22:03,000
Speaker 29: Harry Kane started playing top flight football at age seventeen

2677
02:22:03,520 --> 02:22:07,600
Speaker 29: for fifteen seasons over six clubs. He has logged thirty

2678
02:22:07,720 --> 02:22:11,720
Speaker 29: five thousand and fifty four minutes with three hundred and

2679
02:22:11,879 --> 02:22:15,080
Speaker 29: ninety four starts and four hundred and thirty four matches,

2680
02:22:15,240 --> 02:22:19,440
Speaker 29: plate two hundred and eighty seven goals scored sixty one assists.

2681
02:22:19,800 --> 02:22:22,600
Speaker 29: But one thing you do not see on the legendary

2682
02:22:22,680 --> 02:22:26,360
Speaker 29: status of a man who has spearheaded the English national team,

2683
02:22:26,720 --> 02:22:29,520
Speaker 29: who was for the long time the captain of the

2684
02:22:29,600 --> 02:22:33,320
Speaker 29: club Tottenham Hotspur. One of the big properties of England

2685
02:22:33,959 --> 02:22:37,160
Speaker 29: was a title to his name, any kind of title,

2686
02:22:37,360 --> 02:22:43,240
Speaker 29: Euros World Cup, Premier League, Champions League anything. It was

2687
02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:45,720
Speaker 29: a big reason as to why the breakup between Harry

2688
02:22:45,760 --> 02:22:48,400
Speaker 29: Kane and Tottenham happened in the first place, as Tottenham

2689
02:22:48,720 --> 02:22:50,879
Speaker 29: eventually was starting to take a step back and Harry

2690
02:22:50,959 --> 02:22:54,400
Speaker 29: Kane just simply wanted to win. Now that weight is

2691
02:22:54,600 --> 02:22:58,119
Speaker 29: over and Harry Kane can finally count himself as a champion,

2692
02:22:58,600 --> 02:23:02,960
Speaker 29: leading the German club Bayern Munich to a Bundesliga title

2693
02:23:03,240 --> 02:23:06,000
Speaker 29: on one of the final match days for the German

2694
02:23:06,120 --> 02:23:10,320
Speaker 29: domestic league. Yes, Bayern Munich back on top in Germany,

2695
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:13,520
Speaker 29: and much to do with it is the leg of

2696
02:23:13,640 --> 02:23:17,560
Speaker 29: Harry Kane, responsible for twenty four goals this season for

2697
02:23:17,680 --> 02:23:20,600
Speaker 29: the German Giants, and there may be some out there

2698
02:23:20,640 --> 02:23:23,680
Speaker 29: who see him joining the Giants of Bayern Munich and

2699
02:23:23,800 --> 02:23:26,240
Speaker 29: wondering if it was just kind of a very easy

2700
02:23:26,800 --> 02:23:30,720
Speaker 29: acquisition there. I would caution against any kind of narrative

2701
02:23:30,760 --> 02:23:34,959
Speaker 29: in that regard. Bayern Munich fired a distant third back

2702
02:23:35,120 --> 02:23:39,279
Speaker 29: in twenty twenty three to twenty four season where bayer

2703
02:23:39,400 --> 02:23:43,600
Speaker 29: Leverkusen ended up rough housing the entire league, and back

2704
02:23:43,640 --> 02:23:47,040
Speaker 29: in the twenty twenty two to twenty three season they

2705
02:23:47,480 --> 02:23:52,520
Speaker 29: finished tied in points with longtime internal rival Barusia dortmun

2706
02:23:52,959 --> 02:23:56,200
Speaker 29: tied seventy one of points of Pete Munich got the

2707
02:23:56,280 --> 02:23:58,800
Speaker 29: win due to goal difference. A couple all of that

2708
02:23:58,959 --> 02:24:02,080
Speaker 29: with very shaky Chainampians league play in that time, the

2709
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:05,200
Speaker 29: German Giants had been not looking so great, but the

2710
02:24:05,200 --> 02:24:08,160
Speaker 29: addition of Harry Kane led them to dominance once again,

2711
02:24:08,280 --> 02:24:13,440
Speaker 29: finishing eleven points clear of bayer Leverkusen as of Saturday,

2712
02:24:13,640 --> 02:24:16,879
Speaker 29: and to be honest, not really much of a contest

2713
02:24:17,080 --> 02:24:20,320
Speaker 29: down this entire season. There's a reason we haven't talked

2714
02:24:20,440 --> 02:24:24,160
Speaker 29: much Bundesliga. And while Harry Kane is entering his thirty

2715
02:24:24,200 --> 02:24:27,560
Speaker 29: and over phase, which is always the twilight for soccer

2716
02:24:27,680 --> 02:24:31,600
Speaker 29: players and Bayern Munich itself. It will be saying farewell

2717
02:24:31,959 --> 02:24:34,840
Speaker 29: to Thomas Muller will no longer be with the club

2718
02:24:35,000 --> 02:24:39,080
Speaker 29: next year after twenty five years of service. The marriage

2719
02:24:39,120 --> 02:24:42,720
Speaker 29: between Harry Kane and Bayern Munich has worked out amicably.

2720
02:24:42,879 --> 02:24:46,120
Speaker 29: It has worked out fantastically because all those stats I

2721
02:24:46,240 --> 02:24:49,480
Speaker 29: read you still, even in the world of soccer, cannot

2722
02:24:50,360 --> 02:24:54,080
Speaker 29: shake off any notion in sports, in any sport, as

2723
02:24:54,160 --> 02:24:57,480
Speaker 29: people look at all that, all the stats, all the firepower,

2724
02:24:57,560 --> 02:24:59,360
Speaker 29: all the talents in the world, and Harry Kane is

2725
02:24:59,360 --> 02:25:01,400
Speaker 29: one of the best play I have seen play the game,

2726
02:25:01,760 --> 02:25:04,560
Speaker 29: but there was always the nagging question of can you

2727
02:25:04,800 --> 02:25:07,240
Speaker 29: win with him? Of course you could win with Harry Kane,

2728
02:25:07,560 --> 02:25:10,680
Speaker 29: That's no question in doubt. Harry Kane was never the

2729
02:25:10,760 --> 02:25:14,800
Speaker 29: problem for England or Tottenham Hotspur or anywhere, and being

2730
02:25:14,840 --> 02:25:17,040
Speaker 29: with Bayern Munich proved and now he has a trophy

2731
02:25:17,360 --> 02:25:20,199
Speaker 29: and all doubts may be laid to rest well. Sunday

2732
02:25:20,360 --> 02:25:23,400
Speaker 29: is Mother's Day, Bernie, but it is also an extremely

2733
02:25:23,520 --> 02:25:27,080
Speaker 29: big day. That's the German League taken care of Premier League.

2734
02:25:27,080 --> 02:25:30,920
Speaker 29: We talked about Liverpool taking care of England a while back.

2735
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:34,480
Speaker 29: France has been figured out for a long time. Spoilers,

2736
02:25:34,520 --> 02:25:37,320
Speaker 29: it's once again Paris Saint Germain's that leaves US Spain

2737
02:25:38,040 --> 02:25:41,480
Speaker 29: and Italy three matches to keep an eye on as

2738
02:25:41,560 --> 02:25:44,760
Speaker 29: we come down to the wire. In around the Mediterranean,

2739
02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:49,560
Speaker 29: Knopoly had took a three point lead on Internazional a

2740
02:25:49,680 --> 02:25:52,400
Speaker 29: while back, and now coming down to.

2741
02:25:52,400 --> 02:25:54,160
Speaker 27: The Skids three match days to go.

2742
02:25:54,800 --> 02:25:58,640
Speaker 29: In Syria, it is going to be a breakneck pace

2743
02:25:58,720 --> 02:26:01,840
Speaker 29: to figure out who's going to win the Scudetto of Italy.

2744
02:26:02,200 --> 02:26:06,000
Speaker 29: Inter still has to also play Paris Saint Germain in

2745
02:26:06,120 --> 02:26:08,920
Speaker 29: the Champions League final, but they won't have to worry about.

2746
02:26:08,680 --> 02:26:10,440
Speaker 27: That until the end of May, and we'll do a

2747
02:26:10,520 --> 02:26:12,200
Speaker 27: preview on that soon enough.

2748
02:26:12,520 --> 02:26:18,080
Speaker 29: But Internazion now plays at noon Eastern against Torino, while

2749
02:26:18,720 --> 02:26:23,480
Speaker 29: Napoli takes on Genoa around two forty five pm Eastern time.

2750
02:26:23,879 --> 02:26:26,440
Speaker 27: But the day gets started even earlier than that.

2751
02:26:26,800 --> 02:26:29,640
Speaker 29: With the two favorite words we love to hear in

2752
02:26:29,760 --> 02:26:35,840
Speaker 29: soccer bernie El Classico, Yes, Barcelona and Real Madrid at

2753
02:26:36,080 --> 02:26:40,000
Speaker 29: ten to fifteen am Eastern time. See that on espn

2754
02:26:40,520 --> 02:26:45,000
Speaker 29: A Already we just had an extremely heated El Classico

2755
02:26:45,280 --> 02:26:47,640
Speaker 29: for the Copa del Rey and now we have both

2756
02:26:47,680 --> 02:26:51,480
Speaker 29: these clubs coming in here, separated by just four points

2757
02:26:51,760 --> 02:26:54,640
Speaker 29: on the La Liga table, four match.

2758
02:26:54,520 --> 02:26:57,840
Speaker 27: Days remaining, and if ever, if ever there.

2759
02:26:57,840 --> 02:27:01,160
Speaker 29: Was a must win game for Real Madrid to catch

2760
02:27:01,240 --> 02:27:04,080
Speaker 29: up on their rivals in this race, it is this one.

2761
02:27:04,200 --> 02:27:06,680
Speaker 29: You need to deny them three points and you need

2762
02:27:06,800 --> 02:27:09,360
Speaker 29: three points themselves. You will still need some help and

2763
02:27:09,480 --> 02:27:11,640
Speaker 29: you will still need to race ahead of Barcelona. But

2764
02:27:11,720 --> 02:27:14,119
Speaker 29: if you can't beat them here, then the race might

2765
02:27:14,160 --> 02:27:16,560
Speaker 29: be over before it even begins. With all that talent

2766
02:27:16,640 --> 02:27:19,920
Speaker 29: Real Madrid's acquired, with all of the strength around them,

2767
02:27:20,360 --> 02:27:22,959
Speaker 29: they have not been able to keep up with Barcelona

2768
02:27:23,120 --> 02:27:25,600
Speaker 29: in any of their head to head matchups. They will

2769
02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:28,039
Speaker 29: have a little bit of luck. Robert Lewandowski is starting

2770
02:27:28,120 --> 02:27:32,520
Speaker 29: on the bench for Barcelona, but Laminium all is still

2771
02:27:32,560 --> 02:27:35,600
Speaker 29: the problem. And there is a lot lots of love

2772
02:27:35,680 --> 02:27:38,840
Speaker 29: about this Barcelona squad. But for Real Madrid, this is

2773
02:27:38,959 --> 02:27:40,880
Speaker 29: do or die time. This is probably going to be

2774
02:27:40,920 --> 02:27:43,640
Speaker 29: the most ficial classic of we're gonna have since probably

2775
02:27:43,720 --> 02:27:44,360
Speaker 29: the last one.

2776
02:27:44,959 --> 02:27:46,880
Speaker 27: Enjoy at Bernie. We'll see you next time on the

2777
02:27:46,879 --> 02:27:47,520
Speaker 27: World of Soccer.

2778
02:27:50,840 --> 02:27:53,959
Speaker 2: All right, So lots of facts and figures and times

2779
02:27:54,040 --> 02:27:57,000
Speaker 2: and dates, and before long we'll have Olympic soccer and

2780
02:27:57,040 --> 02:28:00,640
Speaker 2: World Cup soccer again. But the sports played around the world,

2781
02:28:00,720 --> 02:28:04,039
Speaker 2: and there's always news and Chris is always on top

2782
02:28:04,120 --> 02:28:05,960
Speaker 2: of it for us. Coming up, we wrap up the

2783
02:28:06,040 --> 02:28:11,240
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show. I want to address that Brown's quarterback room.

2784
02:28:11,280 --> 02:28:14,879
Speaker 2: It's increasingly crowded, more expensive, and I want to share

2785
02:28:14,920 --> 02:28:19,880
Speaker 2: with you perhaps the dumbest lawsuit I've ever heard, perhaps

2786
02:28:19,959 --> 02:28:23,840
Speaker 2: the dumbest lawsuit of all time. You talk about frivolous.

2787
02:28:24,760 --> 02:28:27,320
Speaker 2: Buckle up. Where do you hear this? Hi, Bernie Frattle

2788

Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we are wrapping

02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:49,120
Speaker 2: been with you since eleven pm Pacific time on Saturday night.

2795
02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:53,560
Speaker 2: I want to thank my producers Mark and Brianna all

2796
02:28:53,640 --> 02:28:57,600
Speaker 2: your hard work and professionalism. Thanks so much, And let's

2797
02:28:57,680 --> 02:29:02,400
Speaker 2: not forget today is Mother's Day special, thanks and recognition

2798
02:29:03,280 --> 02:29:05,560
Speaker 2: all the mothers out there. You know what to do.

2799
02:29:06,280 --> 02:29:10,039
Speaker 2: Treat your mother, right. I lost my mother on February eighth,

2800
02:29:10,560 --> 02:29:14,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. It never goes away. Unfortunately, I can

2801
02:29:14,840 --> 02:29:19,200
Speaker 2: wish my wife, who's a phenomenal mother, a Mother's Day

2802
02:29:19,440 --> 02:29:23,960
Speaker 2: as well, so you know what to do and do

2803
02:29:24,120 --> 02:29:28,280
Speaker 2: your duty. So Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers

2804
02:29:28,840 --> 02:29:32,480
Speaker 2: out there. Perhaps the most important job, no question, in

2805
02:29:32,879 --> 02:29:38,440
Speaker 2: all of America. The NFL is going to start to

2806
02:29:38,600 --> 02:29:43,120
Speaker 2: ramp up in terms of anticipation and countdown. And I

2807
02:29:43,200 --> 02:29:46,320
Speaker 2: gave the NFL calendar earlier with you know, rookie camps

2808
02:29:46,520 --> 02:29:49,840
Speaker 2: concluding this week and then you get to get into

2809
02:29:49,920 --> 02:29:53,600
Speaker 2: OTA's and all kinds of stuff, and the schedule is

2810
02:29:53,680 --> 02:29:56,200
Speaker 2: gonna come out Wednesday. That'll be big TV ratings. I mean,

2811
02:29:56,280 --> 02:29:58,000
Speaker 2: we know who the opponents are, but you don't know

2812
02:29:58,040 --> 02:30:01,480
Speaker 2: the dates. Okay, for instance, I know the Raiders play

2813
02:30:01,520 --> 02:30:04,199
Speaker 2: the Bears this year, they play him here in Las Vegas,

2814
02:30:04,240 --> 02:30:07,480
Speaker 2: but I don't know what the date is. And then

2815
02:30:07,520 --> 02:30:09,000
Speaker 2: of course you got the conference game, so we'll make

2816
02:30:09,040 --> 02:30:10,680
Speaker 2: a big deal all that. But one of the things,

2817
02:30:11,240 --> 02:30:13,080
Speaker 2: more and more people are starting to pay attention due

2818
02:30:13,080 --> 02:30:16,080
Speaker 2: by the way, did you see the film video footage

2819
02:30:16,160 --> 02:30:20,520
Speaker 2: of Dion or checked at Shoodoor standards and his new

2820
02:30:20,640 --> 02:30:24,440
Speaker 2: locker in Cleveland in the clubhouse, you know, kind of

2821
02:30:24,520 --> 02:30:28,280
Speaker 2: sorting things out, putting his shoes, his clothes is, various

2822
02:30:28,320 --> 02:30:31,119
Speaker 2: trinkets and personal effects, big smile on his face. It's

2823
02:30:31,160 --> 02:30:34,240
Speaker 2: kind of awesome. It's kind of awesome. I think he's

2824
02:30:34,320 --> 02:30:37,280
Speaker 2: really enthusiastic about being in the NFL, and I's got

2825
02:30:37,360 --> 02:30:39,320
Speaker 2: to earn his keep. But at least he's there and

2826
02:30:39,360 --> 02:30:42,600
Speaker 2: he's got a chance. But he's part of this quarterback

2827
02:30:42,680 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 2: room that's crowded and weird and expensive. Now we all

2828
02:30:48,440 --> 02:30:53,000
Speaker 2: know what happened when Dion Why do I keep doing that?

2829
02:30:53,560 --> 02:30:59,120
Speaker 2: Shudoor Sanders had a precipitous fall based on not any

2830
02:30:59,200 --> 02:31:01,920
Speaker 2: NFL person I talked to, but this belief, this group

2831
02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:05,480
Speaker 2: think echo chamber of belief that he would be drafted

2832
02:31:05,520 --> 02:31:08,680
Speaker 2: in the first round. I never said he would, and

2833
02:31:08,800 --> 02:31:11,200
Speaker 2: I didn't think he would. I didn't know if he'd

2834
02:31:11,240 --> 02:31:13,680
Speaker 2: fall to the fifth I didn't say that, But that's

2835
02:31:13,720 --> 02:31:17,760
Speaker 2: basically what happened. Okay, And for those who hoped he'd

2836
02:31:17,800 --> 02:31:20,560
Speaker 2: be a first round draft choice, probably costs him about

2837
02:31:20,560 --> 02:31:23,320
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars thirty five million dollars. He's still going

2838
02:31:23,360 --> 02:31:25,680
Speaker 2: to sign a four year rookie contract with an estimated

2839
02:31:25,720 --> 02:31:29,040
Speaker 2: four point six million, and I believe he'd made six

2840
02:31:29,120 --> 02:31:32,360
Speaker 2: million in nil in Colorado. I'm not sure. Okay, he's

2841
02:31:32,400 --> 02:31:35,240
Speaker 2: also the son of Dion Sanders. But he's got to

2842
02:31:35,320 --> 02:31:37,960
Speaker 2: compete now on Cleveland against at least four of the

2843
02:31:38,080 --> 02:31:41,959
Speaker 2: players for playing time and a spot. If he has

2844
02:31:42,160 --> 02:31:45,440
Speaker 2: designs on being part of the Browns' long term plans.

2845
02:31:45,920 --> 02:31:50,680
Speaker 2: Who's his competition? This is a weird, crowded quarterback room.

2846
02:31:51,520 --> 02:31:55,400
Speaker 2: You start with Joe Flacco. Joe's been around seventeen years,

2847
02:31:55,840 --> 02:31:59,440
Speaker 2: He's won a Super Bowl. The Browns signed him to

2848
02:31:59,560 --> 02:32:02,320
Speaker 2: a one year, four million dollar free agent contract earlier

2849
02:32:02,400 --> 02:32:05,320
Speaker 2: this month. Flacco has proven in the last two years

2850
02:32:06,040 --> 02:32:11,720
Speaker 2: he can still move the chains. He can still you know,

2851
02:32:12,160 --> 02:32:15,360
Speaker 2: make highlights on third down and in the fourth quarter

2852
02:32:15,400 --> 02:32:18,240
Speaker 2: and in the red zone. He can play. Clearly, he's

2853
02:32:18,320 --> 02:32:23,120
Speaker 2: gonna be their starter now. The Browns also before the draft,

2854
02:32:23,160 --> 02:32:26,960
Speaker 2: traded for Kenny Pickett. Now, people make fun of Kenny Pickett.

2855
02:32:27,480 --> 02:32:30,280
Speaker 2: No one's going to confuse him with Joe Montana. But

2856
02:32:30,440 --> 02:32:33,280
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett as a starter is one more game than

2857
02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:36,480
Speaker 2: justin Fields and everybody seems to love Justin Fields. Fields

2858
02:32:36,560 --> 02:32:38,879
Speaker 2: is fourteen and thirty. Kenny Pickett is fifteen and ten.

2859
02:32:39,760 --> 02:32:43,240
Speaker 2: Just the facts. Kenny Pickett's also completed sixty two percent

2860
02:32:43,280 --> 02:32:46,480
Speaker 2: of his passes. I'd be shocked if they cut Kenny

2861
02:32:46,560 --> 02:32:49,720
Speaker 2: Pickett because he's actually had twenty five starts as an

2862
02:32:49,800 --> 02:32:52,760
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback. Now I get it. He was once seen

2863
02:32:52,800 --> 02:32:55,760
Speaker 2: as the potential air apparent to Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh.

2864
02:32:56,400 --> 02:32:59,800
Speaker 2: He was actually a former first round selection. That ship

2865
02:33:00,120 --> 02:33:02,760
Speaker 2: is not only sale that shift sunk. They sent him

2866
02:33:02,760 --> 02:33:06,400
Speaker 2: to Philadelphia. Pickett spent a year with the Eagles before

2867
02:33:06,440 --> 02:33:08,960
Speaker 2: he was traded in March to the Browns. He has

2868
02:33:09,040 --> 02:33:13,200
Speaker 2: a one year, two point six million dollar deal remaining

2869
02:33:13,400 --> 02:33:17,959
Speaker 2: on his rookie contract. So God forbid Joe Flacco doesn't

2870
02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:21,240
Speaker 2: make it through the whole season, which look maybe he will,

2871
02:33:21,440 --> 02:33:24,680
Speaker 2: but he would defy the odds probably if he did. Okay,

2872
02:33:26,080 --> 02:33:28,920
Speaker 2: hang nail something. So someone's gonna have to come off

2873
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:31,720
Speaker 2: the bench if it ain't Kenny Pickett. I heard on

2874
02:33:31,800 --> 02:33:33,760
Speaker 2: a show that they believe Kenny Picket would be cut.

2875
02:33:34,040 --> 02:33:36,360
Speaker 2: I'm having a hard time believing that the only one

2876
02:33:36,400 --> 02:33:39,199
Speaker 2: with other one with the NFL experience. The Browns selected

2877
02:33:39,360 --> 02:33:43,160
Speaker 2: Oregon quarterback lefty Dylan Gabriel the third round, two rounds

2878
02:33:43,160 --> 02:33:46,680
Speaker 2: ahead of Sanders. He'll get an estimated six million on

2879
02:33:46,840 --> 02:33:51,160
Speaker 2: his four year rookie deal. I liked Dylan Gabriel at Oklahoma.

2880
02:33:51,640 --> 02:33:54,960
Speaker 2: I liked him at Oregon. I saw him pick apart

2881
02:33:55,040 --> 02:33:58,879
Speaker 2: a pretty good Michigan defense in ann Arbor earlier this year.

2882
02:33:59,040 --> 02:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Last year, I don't think she Dorf Sanders would have

2883
02:34:02,120 --> 02:34:04,120
Speaker 2: done that. So I think this battle is going to

2884
02:34:04,160 --> 02:34:05,680
Speaker 2: be a little bit more. I know people are picking

2885
02:34:05,720 --> 02:34:08,320
Speaker 2: on him. He's not tall enough. All that right. Oh,

2886
02:34:08,400 --> 02:34:11,640
Speaker 2: by the way, that's also you can't forget to Shawn Watson.

2887
02:34:12,560 --> 02:34:15,120
Speaker 2: It's amazing he's still he's only twenty nine years old,

2888
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:20,039
Speaker 2: but he has a troubled history. It's continuing now. He's

2889
02:34:20,080 --> 02:34:23,600
Speaker 2: got an achilles tendon tear he had last fall. That

2890
02:34:23,720 --> 02:34:28,200
Speaker 2: he suffered a second achilles injury in January. He's going

2891
02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:30,720
Speaker 2: to miss, if not all the twenty twenty five season,

2892
02:34:31,080 --> 02:34:34,280
Speaker 2: the majority of the twenty twenty five season. And then finally,

2893
02:34:34,320 --> 02:34:37,800
Speaker 2: the Browns owner Jimmy Haslam finally admitted once and for

2894
02:34:37,879 --> 02:34:41,040
Speaker 2: all that treading for Watson was a big swing and miss,

2895
02:34:41,879 --> 02:34:45,080
Speaker 2: and that the quarterback. Well, unfortunately he still has two

2896
02:34:45,160 --> 02:34:47,920
Speaker 2: years remaining on that five year, two hundred and thirty

2897
02:34:47,920 --> 02:34:52,680
Speaker 2: billion dollar deal is completely guaranteed. Now following the draft,

2898
02:34:52,720 --> 02:34:55,000
Speaker 2: there was a backstory that came out the Browns general

2899
02:34:55,040 --> 02:34:57,400
Speaker 2: manager Andrew Berry, and you saw their faces on draft.

2900
02:34:57,440 --> 02:35:00,959
Speaker 2: They suggested their quote may have been a external pressure

2901
02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:05,240
Speaker 2: to select Shador Sanders, saying quote, it wasn't necessarily the

2902
02:35:05,400 --> 02:35:10,960
Speaker 2: plan going into the weekend to draft two quarterbacks. So

2903
02:35:11,040 --> 02:35:13,840
Speaker 2: you've got this crowded quarterback who How are the hell

2904
02:35:13,879 --> 02:35:15,280
Speaker 2: are the Browns going to sort this out?

2905
02:35:16,959 --> 02:35:17,119
Speaker 4: Now?

2906
02:35:17,840 --> 02:35:20,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski, who I think is a better head coach

2907
02:35:20,640 --> 02:35:25,080
Speaker 2: and probably gets credit for and Andrew Berry, they say

2908
02:35:25,160 --> 02:35:27,640
Speaker 2: there's going to be a wide open competition between the

2909
02:35:27,760 --> 02:35:31,359
Speaker 2: four healthy quarterbacks that are in the season, which obviously

2910
02:35:31,600 --> 02:35:33,960
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson is not one of them. They went on

2911
02:35:34,040 --> 02:35:37,000
Speaker 2: to say, quote Stefanski went on to say, quote, obviously

2912
02:35:37,120 --> 02:35:40,320
Speaker 2: you may not divide the training camp reps, you know,

2913
02:35:40,440 --> 02:35:44,760
Speaker 2: twenty five percent twenty five percent, duh. But we really

2914
02:35:44,800 --> 02:35:47,520
Speaker 2: feel confident they will have a plan that's fair to

2915
02:35:47,560 --> 02:35:49,560
Speaker 2: each player and fair to the team. In the meantime,

2916
02:35:51,240 --> 02:35:54,600
Speaker 2: you got the father and son Duel Dion and Shador.

2917
02:35:54,680 --> 02:35:57,600
Speaker 2: They were on camera last week caught and Dion made

2918
02:35:57,600 --> 02:35:59,400
Speaker 2: a joke he see he looked at Joe Flacco. He said,

2919
02:35:59,440 --> 02:36:03,120
Speaker 2: quote Flacco my age. I like Flacco. I don't know

2920
02:36:03,200 --> 02:36:05,520
Speaker 2: that this bodes well for Shador Sanders. He's gonna really

2921
02:36:05,600 --> 02:36:08,120
Speaker 2: have to flash. You gotta get to Sean Watson. You

2922
02:36:08,280 --> 02:36:11,560
Speaker 2: check that. You gotta get Joe Flak already. And if

2923
02:36:11,640 --> 02:36:13,640
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickott's not your backup with the whit, why'd you

2924
02:36:13,640 --> 02:36:15,480
Speaker 2: trade for him before the draft? He's at least got

2925
02:36:15,520 --> 02:36:19,439
Speaker 2: twenty five starts. I'm not confusing him with Joe Montana.

2926
02:36:19,520 --> 02:36:22,080
Speaker 2: I get it, okay, but you play the hand you're

2927
02:36:22,120 --> 02:36:25,880
Speaker 2: delt and that's the hand Cleveland's dealt. I don't know

2928
02:36:25,959 --> 02:36:27,800
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen with Shador. I don't, I don't, I

2929
02:36:27,840 --> 02:36:29,640
Speaker 2: don't know. I think they're under pressure.

2930
02:36:30,080 --> 02:36:30,440
Speaker 7: Uh to.

2931
02:36:31,480 --> 02:36:33,200
Speaker 2: They'll get him a fair shot if he can play,

2932
02:36:33,240 --> 02:36:36,560
Speaker 2: They're they're gonna figure something out. But this is not normal, folks.

2933
02:36:36,760 --> 02:36:38,600
Speaker 2: This is not normal to go into the season like this.

2934
02:36:39,560 --> 02:36:43,200
Speaker 2: And I think this is this is a pick the

2935
02:36:43,280 --> 02:36:44,959
Speaker 2: owner wanted to make, and he had his own reasons

2936
02:36:45,040 --> 02:36:48,040
Speaker 2: and fine, it's good to be the king, right, mel

2937
02:36:48,120 --> 02:36:53,160
Speaker 2: Brooks said, Look, this leads me to what is the dumbest,

2938
02:36:53,480 --> 02:36:56,600
Speaker 2: most ridiculous, frivolous lawsuit I think I have ever seen.

2939
02:36:57,280 --> 02:36:59,720
Speaker 2: There is a fan seeking one hundred million damage in

2940
02:37:00,040 --> 02:37:05,080
Speaker 2: images because Shador Sanders fall in the twenty twenty five draft. Right,

2941
02:37:05,720 --> 02:37:08,800
Speaker 2: his slide will be the biggest story of this draft

2942
02:37:09,680 --> 02:37:12,080
Speaker 2: for the rest of time. Some people thought he'd be

2943
02:37:12,160 --> 02:37:14,640
Speaker 2: drafted second or third. He dropped all the way to

2944
02:37:14,640 --> 02:37:16,200
Speaker 2: the fifth round. Care we don't need to relive that.

2945
02:37:16,680 --> 02:37:19,640
Speaker 2: His plaintiff referred to as John Doe in the filing

2946
02:37:20,120 --> 02:37:22,760
Speaker 2: allegens in this one hundred million dollars lawsuit, a complaint

2947
02:37:22,800 --> 02:37:26,640
Speaker 2: that quote the NFL's actions and dissemination of slanderous statements

2948
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:32,440
Speaker 2: have caused severe emotional distress and trauma for the filing

2949
02:37:33,640 --> 02:37:36,519
Speaker 2: John Doe is a Georgia resident, but quote a dedicated

2950
02:37:36,600 --> 02:37:40,320
Speaker 2: fan of Colorado football who actually attended the Colorado TCU

2951
02:37:40,400 --> 02:37:43,520
Speaker 2: game back in twenty twenty three. That was an epic game.

2952
02:37:44,120 --> 02:37:47,320
Speaker 2: The Buffs were twenty point underdogs. Sanders was thirty eight

2953
02:37:47,360 --> 02:37:49,880
Speaker 2: to forty seven for five ten and four touchdowns, and

2954
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:53,960
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter welcome to America. They both played great games, okay.

2955
02:37:54,640 --> 02:37:57,480
Speaker 2: Doe alleges that the reports of Sanders' performance in his

2956
02:37:57,560 --> 02:38:01,560
Speaker 2: interviews quote contributed to anative that has unjustly harmed his

2957
02:38:01,640 --> 02:38:05,840
Speaker 2: reputation and potential as a player. The filing alleges that

2958
02:38:05,959 --> 02:38:09,480
Speaker 2: the Sherman Any Trust Act because teams colluded to influence

2959
02:38:09,560 --> 02:38:13,520
Speaker 2: Sanders to follow to the fifth rone. Okay, buddy, you

2960
02:38:13,600 --> 02:38:15,600
Speaker 2: need to lay down and get yourself a cool compress,

2961
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:18,280
Speaker 2: some more milk and soft music. Maybe it goes away.

2962
02:38:18,760 --> 02:38:21,080
Speaker 2: Then he cites the Civil Rights Act because it may

2963
02:38:21,120 --> 02:38:25,240
Speaker 2: have been influenced by racial discrimination. I believe cam Ward

2964
02:38:25,720 --> 02:38:28,720
Speaker 2: is black and he was drafted number one overall. I'm

2965
02:38:28,840 --> 02:38:33,359
Speaker 2: just saying, then consumer protection laws, right, the league misrepresented

2966
02:38:33,400 --> 02:38:36,000
Speaker 2: the nature of the drafting process. He's seeking one hundred

2967
02:38:36,000 --> 02:38:39,160
Speaker 2: million impunitive damages. It was filed in Atlanta at the

2968
02:38:39,200 --> 02:38:42,000
Speaker 2: time of the publishing. Well, the NFL has not responded

2969
02:38:42,080 --> 02:38:45,160
Speaker 2: to the lawsuit. Maybe Judge Wabner will this should be

2970
02:38:45,280 --> 02:38:49,240
Speaker 2: in Goofy court rooting for shudor let's see what he

2971
02:38:49,320 --> 02:38:51,880
Speaker 2: can do. I liked his enthusiasm the other day on camera.

2972
02:38:52,200 --> 02:38:53,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna do it for the Bernie Frowders Show. See

2973
02:38:53,840 --> 02:38:55,680
Speaker 2: it next Saturday. Keep it locked up next to the

2974
02:38:55,760 --> 02:38:57,920
Speaker 2: great Andy Furman. Fox Sports Radio,
