Speaker 2: Going to be talking about the obituary of the twenty

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: twenty four NBA Finals. But your Mavericks are alive, are alive.

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 4: You know.

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 5: There's so many, so many things that I feel when it.

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 6: Comes to this series, Steve, so many and this is

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 6: you know, they're not my Clippers, right, so I I

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 6: have no I'm not.

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 5: Angry because it's not really my team.

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 6: But man, what really just like so many layers to

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 6: what has happened the first four games to me, Luka

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 6: Doncic took the bait in the first half of the

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 6: first game, took the bait that the Celtics were doing,

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 6: which was we're gonna let you do whatever you want,

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 6: but we're gonna stop everyone else. And what have we

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 6: been talking about throughout the series or throughout the playoffs

26
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 6: with the maps that everybody was stepping up to their role.

27
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 6: Everybody was delivering, not just Kyrie, even though Kyrie was

28
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 6: amazing and Luca. After the first half of the first game,

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 6: Luca took the bait and thought.

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 5: Okay, I guess I have to do it all by myself.

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: And it did not work. It did not work.

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: So I had become less of a Luca fan as

33
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: the series has gone on. I mean, seriously, I look

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: at it. I don't watch Mavericks religiously. I know what

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: the numbers say, first team All NBA five consecutive years,

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: and he's had a great run to get his team

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals. But his antics during these finals,

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: what he did at the end of Game three, where

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: those back to back fouls a foul out of the

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: game and he's crying, complaining, dude, those were blocks. When

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: you extend your leg, you are gonna be called for

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: a block.

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: No, So the bottom line is you gotta play smart.

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: Those are dumb fouls. Great players don't make dumb fouls.

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: When your team has miraculously overcome a twenty one point deficit,

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: to cut it to three with still four and a

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: half minutes remaining in the game. I mean, it's anybody's

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: game at that point, and you get two stupid, bonehead

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: fouls called against you, complaining that somehow you deserve different treatment.

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: Sorry.

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: I love when they were reviewing the last fowl, which

53
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: obviously foiled him out of the game, and they're trying

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: to say, well, maybe I'm like, no, there's no maybe

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: he extended his leg.

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: That is a block.

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: And so when the officials said, yeah, that's that's a block,

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: you are dequed from the I'm like, good, good for you,

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: because that was the right call. But this is something

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: that if you are a great player, you need to

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: be there at the end of the Game four. Your team,

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: he threw his own stupidity abandon his team in the

63
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: pivotal game of this series. Game three, your team has

64
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: made this miraculous fourth quarter comeback to put themselves in

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: a position to make it a two to one series.

66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: Right now, we could be talking about two to two

67
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: going back to Boston. But no, no, you played stupid basketball.

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: You get fouled out of the game, your team loses

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: your down three to zero. No team's ever overcome a

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: three to zero deficit in any round of the playoffs

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: and NBA history, they lose this series. This is squarely

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: on the shoulders of Luca Dantic.

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 5: And you're not wrong.

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 6: And I think he knows that too, which is why

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 6: he took the bait so early on in the series.

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 6: And I agree with you. And it wasn't even just

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 6: that play the entire game. He was playing frustrated. He

78
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 6: was playing like he needed to catch up. And yeah,

79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 6: you were down two zero, but you were still in it.

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 6: You had an opportunity, like you just said, to make

81
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 6: it a two to two series at this point, but

82
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 6: you let your emotions get the best of you. You

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 6: became frustrated, and the entire game you complained several moments

84
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 6: where you complained the Celtics got an easy bucket, several

85
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 6: not one, not two.

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: Where's my not one, not two, not three? I need

87
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 5: that right now.

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 6: But legit, why why did you handle this entire game

89
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 6: like that?

90
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 5: The entire game, not just at the end.

91
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 6: You played frustrated after the first half of the first

92
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 6: quarter of the first game, all the way through Game four,

93
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 6: well all the way through game three. Game four you

94
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 6: came out and I don't know if they gave him

95
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 6: happy pills.

96
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if they injected him with happy sauce.

97
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 6: But he came out there just like smiling and like

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 6: having a good time, and it's like, where was this?

99
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 5: Honestly, did they give him the bills? What happened there?

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: A completely different person.

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're wondering about when game five is,

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: when is it Monday?

103
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: Of course it is.

104
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: So it's not tomorrow, it's Monday. And then if there's

105
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: a game six, it's Thursday. And if there's a Game seven,

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: it's Sunday. So they're really dragging this thing out right now. Look,

107
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: when you have a blowout of that magnitude in the postseason,

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: much less the NBA Finals, it happens for two reasons.

109
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: Reason one is you have a desperate team needing to

110
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: win to stay alive, which Dallas was in that position.

111
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: But to have that kind of a loss, you also

112
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: have a team that really mails it in. Yeah, and

113
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: that was the Boston itself. Like it was the lowest

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: scoring half in the entire season. In that first half.

115
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: You just you watch this Boston team stadium themselves. All right,

116
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: come on, we got the one game we wanted. We

117
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: want to wrap this up. Game five can win. Any

118
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: game we won. Game five, we'll win at home. And

119
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa Boston, whoa whoa whoa.

120
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: Last year Eastern Conference Finals, you're playing the eight seed Miami.

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: You get and you were down three to zero in

122
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: that series. You come back, You win three in a row,

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: including two on the road, to set up Game seven home.

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 7: Done.

125
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: You're gonna be the first team ever to overcome a

126
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: three to zero definicit to win a series. And then

127
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: Tatum gets banged up, hurt, and they play like dogs

128
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: and they get blown out on their home court any

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: Game seven. So they better be careful in this Game five.

130
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: If they play with anywhere near the lack of intensity

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: we saw in Game four, this thing could be heading

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: back to Dallas.

133
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 6: You know, psychologically, in their head they're thinking nobody's ever

134
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 6: come back from being down three. But the thing is,

135
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 6: the way basketball is now, with the high level scoring

136
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 6: in the threes.

137
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 5: Nothing is guaranteed. You can't be comfortable.

138
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 6: And they gave up so fast last night that I

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 6: was like, man, if I was at this game, I

140
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 6: would be such an upset fan because in the fourth quarter,

141
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 6: who am I watching?

142
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 5: None of the stars?

143
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 6: And it's like, I understand, you're getting blown out, and

144
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 6: you're just like, whatever, let's pack it up.

145
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: You should have been playing.

146
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 6: You should have been playing in the fourth quarter, like

147
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 6: you should have at least pretended for a hot second

148
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 6: that you were still trying.

149
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: But you threw in the towel so early. I really

150
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: was a man.

151
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 6: I would be so annoyed if I was a fan

152
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 6: watching this game in person, paying how much money probably

153
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 6: for this game, and then all of you are sitting

154
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 6: in the fourth the entire fourth quarter.

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: Well, keep in mind the Celtics had won ten straight

156
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: playoff games. Yeah, that was the first time in their history,

157
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: the history of the Celtics seventeen championships, that they had

158
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: won ten consecutive playoff games.

159
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: They had not lost a playoff game on the road.

160
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: And then you lose by.

161
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: What thirty eight, I mean, was just stimulus, absolutely absurd

162
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: by the way I was thinking about Celtic's legacy, right. Yes,

163
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: and this is coming from a Celtic hater, Okay, I'm

164
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: not going to sugar coat this. Just I've been a

165
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: lifelong Celtics hater. And by the way, just the quick

166
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: note of the passing of Jerry West, who was my

167
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: greatest sports hero as a kid. I know I'm aging myself,

168
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: but the fact is, when I was a kid and

169
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: basketball was my favorite sport to play, It's the only

170
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: one I was good. I was too skinny for football

171
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: and I couldn't hit a lick, but I could play basketball,

172
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: and I when I had a chance to wear a

173
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: jersey number, I always wore forty four because of Jerry West.

174
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: And he was a wonderful man, just absolutely wonderful man.

175
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: He had a long life, and you know, no one

176
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: lives forever, but he was the MVP of the nineteen

177
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: sixty nine NBA Finals, the first one I remember watching.

178
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: I was in fifth grade at the time, and it

179
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: was a heartbreak. The home team won all six games.

180
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Game seven was at the Forum. This is it. The

181
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: Lakers are going to fight, and they lose to Bill

182
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: Russell what turned out to be his last game. But keep

183
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: in mind about the Celtics seventeen championships in their first

184
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: thirty years in the NBA. Forty years excuse me, first

185
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: forty years of the NBA. They won sixteen championships. In fact,

186
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: if you go the first ten years, they won none.

187
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: So in a thirty years spanned from Bill Russell's rookie

188
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: year until the last championship they won with Larry Bird.

189
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: Bill Walton was on that team in eighty six. In

190
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: a thirty year span, they've won sixteen, more than half

191
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: the championships. Now in the thirty six years since, they've

192
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: won one. Yeah, one, So sixteen championships in thirty years.

193
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: One in the last thirty six years. So I can

194
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: understand if you're a Celtic fan, man, you're you're.

195
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 6: You feel like Clipper fans, Yeah, pretty much Clipper fans.

196
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: Seriously, they've won one championship since nineteen eighty six, so

197
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a big deal for them. But they're

198
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: gonna be feeling the pressure. I'm telling you, yes, they're

199
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: gonna come home. There would have been less pressure in

200
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: a Game four on the then there is when you

201
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: come home, as their fans expected last year in that

202
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: Game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals, Wow, we're gonna

203
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: make history tonight. And they laid an egg.

204
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 6: And we've seen the Celtics not just do that once

205
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 6: or twice, but several times, losing to teams, losing in

206
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 6: games when.

207
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: You should not have lost.

208
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 6: And if that happens on Monday and they go back

209
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 6: to Dallas, you're telling me Dallas is not going to

210
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 6: win that game. All of a sudden, we have a

211
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 6: Game seven, like there's a real possibility.

212
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then, as the Celtics found out last year,

213
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: all the pressure beyond.

214
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 5: All the pressure would be on you.

215
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: So you can say they mailed it in. But you

216
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: gave Dallas confidence. You gave them too much.

217
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd.

218
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: They showed him pregame talking about I hope you guys

219
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: are packed for Boston because we're going back to Boston.

220
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: We're not going to lose its game and it was

221
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: a mailing job. By the way, good news for the NBA.

222
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: Ratings were up significantly in Game two after bad ratings

223
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: in Game one. Game two. I haven't seen the Game

224
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: three ratings, so a little more fanfare in terms of

225
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. By the way, Mark Medeen, our NBA insider,

271
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: are live from the tire rack dot Com studios keeping

272
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: her eye on the third round of the US Open.

273
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: Right now, Bryson De'shambo has taken a one shot, laid

274
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: over Rory McElroy and then two guys who names We

275
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: have been trying to figure out one of them is

276
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: one is the French guy? Know, Matthew pav that's a

277
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: French Because I took French, and then luvig Oldberg it's

278
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: Oberg Oberg. So it'd be like, because something I know that,

279
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: can I turn on Nick Mike for just a second

280
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: because you said it was Obert, And I'm like, well,

281
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 2: wait of say it. If there's a G at the

282
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: end of his first name and a G at the

283
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: end of his last name, why would one be silent

284
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: one be pronounced.

285
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 9: It's a great mystery. And then I've been potting up.

286
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 9: I've been potting up the TV. Turrico is just saying Oberg,

287
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 9: not berg Berg, and I'm like, all right, if it's

288
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 9: good enough for Mike Turrico, then it's probably good enough.

289
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: For for all of us.

290
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: I said, be louv Obert, Okay, I mean, I'm gonna

291
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: say Ludvigue Obert Oberg. It's gonna be.

292
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 9: I think he's gonna I think he wants to anglicize

293
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 9: his name a little bit because I think he expects

294
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 9: to be a guy.

295
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: Here on tour for a little while.

296
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: So g me, he's again feat Actually is I heard

297
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: he's telling people just say Aberg.

298
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 3: He is just looking at Aberg.

299
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, if you see an aau say a, I

300
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: get it. You know instead of the up, all right, Nick,

301
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: very much, he continued to work on that. He's a perfectionist.

302
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: I understand that, all right, speaking of a perfectionist. Every

303
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: opportunity we get to talk to this man is truly

304
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: a treat. He is our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider

305
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan is back with us once again.

306
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: Adam is great to talk to you.

307
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: I want to get right to this Trevor Lawrence contract.

308
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty two million guaranteed for a guy

309
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: whose career record is twenty one and thirty one including

310
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and who finished last season on a one

311
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: in five run. Used to be that you were penalized

312
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: when he had a bad season, but in his case,

313
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: he gets rewarded richly.

314
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: So where does this lead us next?

315
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: And when exactly are the Chiefs going to correct the

316
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: fact that Patrick Mahomes now is nowhere to be seen

317
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: in terms of his average salary amongst the highest paid

318
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL.

319
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, so let's start with the latter.

320
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 10: So the Chiefs to begin last season made adjustment to

321
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 10: his contract. They gave him a little bit more money.

322
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 10: But yeah, Mahomes is lagging. There's no question about it.

323
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 10: His average was bumped up to forty six just over

324
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 10: forty six million, but it's not quite good enough. But

325
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 10: the next deals and Matthew stafford that he won't get

326
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 10: that much. But once we get some of the younger

327
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 10: quarterbacks deals and Brock Perdy and others, next year, you're

328
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 10: looking at fifty seven to sixty million a year. The

329
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 10: Cowboys still want to get Dak Prescott done, but Ceedee

330
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 10: Lamb is up first that they've been trying to get

331
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 10: that done, and they've been kind of stalling a little

332
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 10: bit because they want to see what the Justin Jefferson

333
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 10: deal looks like. And we keep saying this about the Cowboys,

334
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 10: the longer they wait on these contracts and more.

335
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 7: That they pay.

336
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 10: Jefferson making just under thirty seven million, thirty six point

337
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 10: nine three eight million, it's just to be thirty five million,

338
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 10: thirty five mini Hey signing Buns was thirty seven, but

339
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 10: thirty five million for receiver folks is crazy. But the

340
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 10: Cowboys have waited, and if you look at the ceed

341
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 10: Lamb numbers, what potentially could be and you just look

342
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 10: at what Justin Jefferson got.

343
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 7: Lamb's got a good argument.

344
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 10: Because his statistics, average receptions per season, targets, touchdowns, yard edge,

345
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 10: very similar to Justin Jefferson.

346
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 5: Hi, Adam, welcome back. We missed you last week.

347
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 7: Thank you.

348
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 6: So this Trevor Lawrence contract, not just Dak Prescott's contract

349
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 6: is going to be affected by it.

350
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: But what about Tuwatogo bay Lawa, who we also heard

351
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 5: lost weight. I don't know if he needed to. I

352
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: didn't even know he could lose twenty five pounds. He

353
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 5: didn't look it to me. How does it affect him?

354
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 10: Well, see, let me get just and I'll finish off

355
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 10: the Lawrence talk. So my understanding what the Jaguars was

356
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 10: that they knew if they got this done now, because

357
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 10: when the next deals get done, fifty seven to sixty.

358
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 7: Million, and if they waited.

359
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 10: You know, Lawrence two years ago look like he was

360
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 10: on his way, very inconsistent season.

361
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 7: Had lower and body lower body and upper body injury.

362
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 10: He was kind of beat up. He just didn't have

363
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 10: a good year. And his best receiver last year got hurt.

364
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 10: It was Christian Kirk. He had groin surgery and just

365
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 10: it was Steve talked about their season went off the

366
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 10: rails late.

367
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 7: They choked that division. They should have won it.

368
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 10: They got off to that great start, then they choked

369
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 10: and you know they were reeling. They found they fired

370
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 10: Doug Peterson, their head cut, fired most of their defensive staff.

371
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 10: And they don't think it was really Lawrence. They just

372
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 10: think they had they have to. They also, by the way,

373
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 10: one thing I would talk about, you know, they have

374
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 10: Press Taylor.

375
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 7: He's their offense coordinator.

376
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 10: Who Doug Peterson in season hand off the play calling

377
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 10: two that didn't go over very well. That's something to

378
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 10: watch next year. But the the the Jaguars think that

379
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 10: Lawrence is their guy, like they they felt that day one.

380
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 10: We've seen some good things from him. Look Steven Steve's point. Look,

381
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 10: if they waited, sure, let him put together a really

382
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 10: good season, then go for it. But the problem is

383
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 10: the longer you wait, the more costs you Now getting

384
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 10: back to tua I just my sense is they just

385
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 10: don't see it the way that his new representation in

386
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 10: the last couple of years. They don't see it the

387
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 10: same way. They don't see the money the same way.

388
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 10: He's their guy, by the way. They feel that way.

389
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 10: And you know this is why you have the franchise tag.

390
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 10: You just you tag the guy a couple of years

391
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 10: and then you make a decision and we know about

392
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 10: to his injury history.

393
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 7: It's it's not an easy call.

394
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 10: Remember they passed up on Justin Herbert and to who's,

395
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 10: by the way, has done a good job. You know,

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 10: we've he's kind of lost weight put on way, you know.

397
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 10: But the thing is, did a good job last season.

398
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 10: They have a new defense coordinator, they've kind of changed

399
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 10: up things there. But you know, overall, it's another one

400
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 10: the longer you wait. But I don't get the sense

401
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 10: that they're worried about that. Whereas the Jaguars were worried

402
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 10: about waiting.

403
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 7: They didn't want to use a tag and that's where

404
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 7: they went.

405
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: I have a theory about quarterbacks postseason success, and this

406
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: is based on historical data that I have accumulated over

407
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: these thousand years of my existence. So when people talk

408
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 2: about a Dak Prescott and say, well, I know he

409
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: hasn't played well in the postseason, but man, there's a

410
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: lot of teams out there that still believe they could

411
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl with him. I go back again

412
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 2: to my Raider days. People get annoyed when I do

413
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: that because it was so long ago, but there was

414
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: there was a situation where I would talk to players

415
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: about we had Jim Plunkett, who had won two Super Bowls,

416
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: and we had Mark Wilson, who had a great career

417
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: BYU he could probably throw the ball better than Jim,

418
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 2: And I said, what's the difference in the huddle? And

419
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 2: all the players will say the same thing to me.

420
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: One guy's done it. And so when you have a

421
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: guy in the huddle that's actually done it as opposed

422
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: to a guy in the huddle that hasn't done it,

423
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: it's a big difference for the players in that huddle.

424
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: And you know, you could make arguments about, well, if

425
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: it's a team sport, this that and everything else. No, no, no,

426
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: no no. When you have a quarterback in that huddle

427
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: that has won it all, he raises the level of

428
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: play of everyone when it matters most, which is in

429
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: the postseason, because obviously it's a completely different beast when

430
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: you get into the postseason. And so if you have

431
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: a quarterback that has come up short time, and again,

432
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: as Dak Prescott has the idea that all of a

433
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: sudden he's going to flip the switch. Adam, you know

434
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: the history game, like I do, there aren't a lot

435
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: of guys that have had a lot of failure, failure, failure,

436
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden it clicks.

437
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 7: It doesn't work that way.

438
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: Usually, guys from the get go that do well in

439
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: the postseason play pretty well. Maybe they make the gradual climb,

440
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: but they're showing promise in the postseason. Guys that you

441
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 2: are bad in the postseason. This Lamar Jackson may be

442
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: another example of this. Yep, the idea that they're just

443
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: going to flip the switch and suddenly be really good

444
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: in the postseason doesn't happen.

445
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: Well.

446
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 10: You usually get over it at some point. Prescott's two

447
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 10: and five in the playoffs. He usually, you know, maybe

448
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 10: you struggle, you have to get to a certain point,

449
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 10: like the first couple of games, you know, it doesn't

450
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 10: go well. Then you learn what it's like. You handle

451
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 10: the pressure better. Now here's the problem though, with that game.

452
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 10: It's not as though the it was just that Prescott

453
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 10: did not play well against the Packers.

454
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 7: He padded some stats.

455
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: He threw for over four.

456
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 10: Hundred yards in that game, but he played poorly. Their

457
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 10: defense is terrible, terrible in that game, Dak you know,

458
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 10: and let's not forget Dak would have phenomenal, phenomenal regular season.

459
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 10: After a tough in twenty twenty two, he became an

460
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 10: interception guys, forcing too many passes. They went to a

461
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 10: new offense coordinator, or actually they went to Mike McCarthy's

462
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 10: calling the plays. They changed the offense a little bit

463
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 10: that raindo Man. He did better with the timing based offense,

464
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 10: but had a bad playoff game. He's still only Look,

465
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 10: he's only thirty years old. This position you could play

466
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 10: into your late thirty early forties, but on Steve on

467
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 10: your point, at some point it's got to click. You

468
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 10: got to get the job done. And by the way,

469
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 10: he is on the final vers deal now, they still

470
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 10: want to extend it. They believe it internally he's not

471
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 10: gonna be playing anywhere else in the future after the season.

472
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 10: But you don't want to get to a point where

473
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 10: you feel like you're forced to do anything. And by

474
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 10: the way, it's Ceedee Lamb and they also Michael Parsons.

475
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 10: They don't feel the pressure to get his deal done.

476
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 10: They know what that's going to look like whenever it

477
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 10: gets done. And that's got to be Nick Bosa's deal,

478
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 10: which is over thirty four million a season. That's a

479
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 10: monster deal and it'll have to eclipse that. And don't forget,

480
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 10: you've got the ceede Lamb deal. So they've got a

481
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 10: lot of work to do, and once again Dallas waits

482
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 10: forever to get deals done.

483
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 6: Adam sticking here with the Cowboys Trey Lance. Are we

484
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 6: going to see that guy at all this season? Do

485
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 6: you think the Cowboys may trade Trey Lance? I feel

486
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 6: like we just kind of forgot about him.

487
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 10: They want to see Their goal was to always develop

488
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 10: him as they back up to Deck Prescott and Cooper.

489
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 10: Rush is technically the number two quarterback, but they feel

490
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 10: like Lance could overtake it. But Trey Lance is a project.

491
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 10: He was seen as that coming out of North Dakota State.

492
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 10: Remember when they made the trade, it was kind of like, Okay,

493
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 10: he came off a bad injury, let's get his head

494
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 10: right and he's got a very low end deal that

495
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 10: there was no fifthyar There's no they're not picking up

496
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 10: you know, they declined the fifth year option. He's only

497
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 10: going to make just over one million this season in cash.

498
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 10: He's got a training camp roster bonus which they'll pay,

499
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 10: but they just they like to develop. In fact that

500
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 10: as I understand, they like to bring him back next

501
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 10: year when his contract's up, and bring him back is

502
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 10: the backup to Prescott and and obviously if for some

503
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 10: reason they can't get a bridge deal with down with

504
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 10: Prescott and it shocks the world. And look if if

505
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 10: Trey Lance could just really show something in training camp

506
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 10: and when when when they and take over the number

507
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 10: two job? They love They as I understand, they like

508
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 10: to keep this relationship going. They see a lot of

509
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 10: promise in him, but he's also a major project.

510
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 2: Matta Riza is going to be the punter for the Chiefs.

511
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 7: M h.

512
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm happy about this. I got to know Matt obviously

513
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: when he was in San Diego State. He shattered all

514
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: the records. You know, the charges against him.

515
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: They are what they were.

516
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 2: The girl dropped the charges and everything else. But it

517
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 2: does make for an interesting pair, doesn't it for kickers

518
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: for that team between.

519
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: Bucker and Raiza.

520
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: I don't know any team that's gets notoriety either of

521
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: their two kickers. Then Chiefs are going to have this season.

522
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 10: Well remember he was going to counter sue and look,

523
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 10: it's it. There's a lot more of that story. We

524
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 10: don't have enough time. But yeah, the there was no

525
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 10: I mean, if the authorities didn't arge him, they wound

526
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 10: up not charging them.

527
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 7: So he's ready to roll.

528
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 10: He signed a one year deal with the Chiefs and

529
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 10: Matta Rise is going to get a second chance to

530
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 10: good for him and then Bucker with his situation. It

531
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 10: is kind of you know, by the way the Chiefs

532
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 10: have had We'll keep the rise of stuff to the side.

533
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 10: Just the guys that they were holdovers. They've had a

534
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 10: bunch of legal issues to deal with this offseason. It's

535
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 10: been sort of tumultuous with them, and they, by the way,

536
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 10: everyone was just getting there. They met with the President

537
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 10: this past week.

538
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: Well they got three rings in their pockets. So right now,

539
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: so no pressure on the cheese. It's see everyone else

540
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: that's got to catch up. Adam great stuff. I mean,

541
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: it's you know, we're getting close. What exactly I'm looking

542
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: at our calendar because you know, I know we're in

543
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: mid June right now, what exactly will NFL training camps open?

544
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 10: All right, so the teams are in the Hall of

545
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 10: Fame game, they get to report a week early, so

546
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 10: we will see the first teams in about four and

547
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 10: a half weeks report and then all the teams that

548
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 10: the new staffs also get to report early. Then the

549
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 10: rest of them report around the twenty fourth to twenty

550
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 10: fifth of July. So we're about a month or so

551
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 10: away from in. And by the way, we got all

552
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 10: the OTAs were done this past Thursday, the week before.

553
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 10: Ten teams are done. The other twenty two were just

554
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 10: done this Thursday, this past Thursday. So yeah, that's it.

555
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 10: I mean, it's pretty much. We'll get some contract extensions done.

556
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 10: That's pretty much yet. I mean, nothing these are you know,

557
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 10: it's kind of what we expected. A bunch of deals

558
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 10: got done, and it's kind of where we're at.

559
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: Great stuff, all right, Adam, we'll talk to you again

560
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: next week, Thanks so much, Thank you, Adam Kaplan or

561
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: Fox Sports right NFL. And so I had to get

562
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: that in because I know people are like, what exactly

563
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: does the football season began? There? You go a little

564
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: over a month away until those training camps open.

565
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: Let's find out what is trending right now.

566
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: He's been a master at manipulating every name that's been

567
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: thrown at him from the leaderboard of this year's US Open.

568
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 9: What's sure you're going with that, I'm like manipulator, okay.

569
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: Manipulator, yes, I mean the fact the matter is, you

570
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: have to decide how you want to pronounce the name.

571
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 9: Yes, right, and I tend to just go the path

572
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 9: of least resistance. I think if it's just you know,

573
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 9: we were talking pre show when you have to do

574
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 9: things with your let me think about how to say this,

575
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 9: but you know, pronouncing thing. If he would say dialect

576
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 9: like you know, Matthew, I never took French right home.

577
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 9: I don't know how the Swedes, you know, inflect certain

578
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 9: words and so like that's just so far out of

579
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 9: my lexica.

580
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 2: I think you know the name of the guy leading

581
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: right now.

582
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, bryceon to Shambo and I don't know if you

583
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 9: guys caught this, but he's been dealing with a bad

584
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 9: right hip today. He had the physio come out on

585
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 9: the course and before he hit his t shot I

586
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 9: think it was on eleven or ten, he actually ducked

587
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 9: into the trees a little bit so he could lie

588
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 9: down and get attention on his right hip, and he

589
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 9: apparently asked the NBC cameras on the ground, like can

590
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 9: I get a little privacy here? So does NBC do Okay, yeah,

591
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 9: we'll back off. Drone shot right overhead to Shambo lying

592
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 9: on his side getting some treatment. But yes, it hasn't

593
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 9: hurt him. He now has the lead. He's two shots

594
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 9: clear the field now minus seven. Bryson Deshambeau, Roy McRoy

595
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 9: is two shots back and minus five, along with Matthew Povol,

596
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 9: nice friend, and then the guy who apparently doesn't even

597
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 9: care how his name's pronounced, so Ludwig Oberg. He is

598
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 9: also a part of that group that has tied for

599
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 9: second at five under Hedeki Matsuyama. He's had three under

600
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 9: in the mix as well. We started the day with

601
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 9: nineteen golfers under par. Classic US Open. We're down to

602
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 9: nine golfers under par. As we're getting late here in

603
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 9: this third round. We did have some NFL news today.

604
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 9: Bengals receiver T Higgins signed his franchise tag. He has

605
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 9: expected report to training camp next month, but those reports

606
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 9: also say that a long term deal for Higgins is

607
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 9: a long shot. We got Game four of the Stanley

608
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 9: Cup Final tonight at eight Eastern, the Panthers trying to

609
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 9: become the first team to sweep the finals since the

610
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 9: Red Wings in nineteen ninety eight College World Series going on,

611
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 9: and listen to this your numbers, guys. Steve another walkoff

612
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 9: win moments ago, Kentucky a walkoff homer over NC State

613
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 9: five to four and ten innings. All three games so

614
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 9: far in Omaha have been decided in walk off fashion.

615
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 9: First time in the seventy seven year history of the

616
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 9: College World Series that there have been three straight walkoff wins.

617
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 9: That's amazing stats. It's been very dramatic. I know college

618
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 9: baseball is niche, but if you're into it and you've

619
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 9: been watching it, it's been great. Kentucky at a home

620
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 9: run in the ninth to tie, walk it off in

621

652
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: going to get a filtered water thing for you know,

653
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,560

654
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: of Phoenix. It's uh, it's hot.

655
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah. I feel bad because you're right, the fathers are

656
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: just like, oh, it is dad, it's Father's Day. What

657
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 5: do we get Dad? And you're figuring it out the

658
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 5: day before Mother's Day is not like that at all

659
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 5: at all.

660
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 8: You know.

661
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 5: So yeah, I I don't even know if we're doing

662
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 5: my family is doing anything.

663
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: Actually for Father's Day, because I would imagine your dad

664
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: doesn't care. Well, most dads always say we don't care,

665
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: but you know, yeah, a card, something, something for.

666
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 3: The effort something.

667
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: I'll definitely take him out for a cocktail. He's definitely

668
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 5: gonna want a cocktail, so I could do that.

669
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: All right. So I wanted to get to a story. Uh,

670
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have Who's Your Daddy? Coming up on

671
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: the other side, and I've sort of switched my mind

672
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: on the story. In fact, I really switched my mind.

673
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: I was listening to Jonas Okay earlier today and anytime

674
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: there's a gambling story and we've seen you know, suspensions

675
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: and everything else for people that have just engage in

676
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: some level of gambling, and arguably the best umpire in baseball.

677
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: This is a guy who actually got a perfect score

678
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: in terms of balls and strikes at a World Series game,

679
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: did not miss a single pitch. This is the antithesis

680
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: of Angel Hernandez. All Right, this guy, and he hasn't

681
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: been an umpire this year because of an investigation that

682
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: he was evolved in some level of gambling. And I

683
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: heard Jonas talk about the fact that, you know, get

684
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: over it. People can gamble, it's no big deal. But

685
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: I have this little voice in my head from my

686
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: late great partner Chet forty. It was a compulsive gambler.

687
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: And when Michael Jordan abruptly retired right in the middle

688
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: of his career in nineteen ninety three, played minor league

689
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: baseball before he returned. He's a compulsive gambler. That's what

690
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan is. He gets an adrenaline Russian gambling and

691
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: tend always told me this, and he goes, here's the

692
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: reason why you have to be tough on gambling. Because

693
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: you know the rules, you break the rules anyway, So

694
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: that means you are compulsive. In other words, it's something.

695
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 7: You need to do.

696
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: You need to do it, you need to gamble, and

697
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: a gambler is always going to go where he gets

698
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: himself the best odds. So when we talk about, well,

699
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: what's the harm in an umpire for Major League Baseball

700
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: game betting on NBA games, Well, he knows he can't.

701
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 3: But if he's willing to break the rules.

702
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: For that, why wouldn't he have control where he could

703
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: actually control Like Tim donaghe did obviously the NBA official,

704
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: they got caught and you know, in the end of

705
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: his career. So I'm turned on this one. Maybe he

706
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: was listening to Jonas. I've turned on this one because

707
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, you do have to lay the law

708
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: down on gambling. I'm really switched my gears on this

709
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: one because I know that if you know the rules

710
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: and you break them anyway just because you want to gamble,

711
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: you got a problem.

712
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's a slippery slope.

713
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 6: And I think that's what's hard about it, that if

714
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 6: you give them an inch, they're not just gonna take

715
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: the inch. But right now we are in a time

716
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 6: where gambling is everywhere, it is at your fingertips.

717
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: So before I.

718
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 6: Think I would have been more like, who cares if

719
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 6: they gamble? Now I'm like, no, you can't, and you

720
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 6: do have to be it has to be black and white. No,

721
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 6: you can't do it because it is such a slippery slope.

722
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 6: And like the NFL, the NFL is like, Okay, you

723
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 6: can't gamble here, but if you cross the street you

724
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 6: can gamble. Like we come on like it's too great

725
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 6: for me, and I think it does need to stay.

726
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 6: You can not do it even though everyone does it

727
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 6: if you work in that field.

728
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 5: If you work, you can't do it. It's a slippery slope,

729
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 5: like you just said, and most gamble. It's an addictive person.

730
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: But if you are making a really good living, yes,

731
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: doing what it is you want to do. Yes, and

732
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: you're told you can do this as long as you want.

733
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: If you do a good job. You just can't gamble.

734
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, the overwhelming.

735
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: Majority of people who know the problem. Fine, I won't gamble.

736
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: There's other ways for me to entertain myself. But if

737
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: you can't do that, you've got a gambling problem. Yes,

738
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: and you're going to get in a situation where you

739
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: need the advantage and your sport is the one place

740
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: where you could gain the advantage. Yes, that's the concern,

741
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: and it's.

742
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 6: A genuine concern because again, typically it's an addictive personality

743
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 6: when people like to gamble and they go down that

744
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 6: rabbit hole, right, Like, I actually don't really do gambling

745
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 6: unless I'm in Vegas because I think I would like

746
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 6: it too much.

747
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 5: The parlays and stuff. I go, I have it, Counts

748
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 5: Steve and I go and I start it, and I'm like, no,

749
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 5: don't do it.

750
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 6: Don't do it because I think I'm going to enjoy

751
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 6: it too much, and if I start winning, I don't.

752
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 6: That's why I'm not even opening the door. But it's

753
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 6: so accessible and so easy.

754
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 3: It's on your phone.

755
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 6: It's on your phone, and it's fun, and everybody talks

756
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 6: about it now, Like we go to the bar and

757
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 6: it's literally like the bartenders like, yeah, I had a

758
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 6: parlay today, Look I almost hit it and everybody everyone

759
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 6: is doing it.

760
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: Think about how things can inspiral oute. Look at Otani's interpreter.

761
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: I know, how could that even happened? Fifteen million dollars

762
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 2: what I mean? So, yeah, I can understand their concerns,

763
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: and I think they are right in laying down the

764
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: hard law. You have to you have to laying down. Yeah,

765
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: you know the rules you broke the rules, you pay

766
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 2: the price, all right? Coming up on the other side.

767
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: It has now become a new tradition on the show.

768
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure why, but everyone seems to like,

769
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 2: who's your daddy?

00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy six.

784
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,680

Speaker 5: Okay, so when was the first NBA Slam dunk contest?

791
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 2: That one I don't seem to know. Let's see, I

792
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: would say the next year.

793
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 5: No, it took a break.

794
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 6: It was in nineteen eighty four, and wow, yeah it

795
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 6: took a break when they merged.

796
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: Was that Dominique Wilkins.

797
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 5: No, Larry nance d answered that.

798
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: That's one of those where I answered way too yes,

799
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: because I know Dominique won it, but I knew the

800
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: Larry nance Yes, the original Larry that was still pretty

801
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: Rada Clemson.

00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 5: Who gave up two Grand Slams in the same inning?

804
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so Channel Park gave up two Grand slams in

805
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 2: the same inning to Fernando Tatis Senior.

806
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 5: That is correct, not Fernando Tattoos Junior.

807
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 2: You're just still do when you think about a record

808
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: that will never be broken. Yeah, yeah, No one's ever

809
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: going to give up three Grand slams in an inning,

810
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: So we couldn't guarantee that one.

Speaker 7: I just had.

835
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,560

848
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 3: Oh God, yeah, yeah.

849
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 9: Well Arenka was in the mid later, yes, and Roddick

850
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 9: was before that, so it's like who would have been

851
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 9: old on?

852
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:05,560

00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: buying should be.

865
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 3: So we are right up against the clock. After Nick

866
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 3: gave it his question.

867
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: And right before we went to break, I answered incorrectly,

868
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: and then Nick said that he'd actually said the answer,

869
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: which I didn't hear, and you came into studio and

870
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: I was frantically going through the rolodex in my head.

871
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: I did come up with the answer, del Potrow. You did, yes, ten,

872
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: So I mean I heard it because we got the

873
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: delay in the hallway here, So I did. I did

874
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: say it over the air, and you can hear it,

875
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: But so I don't. Monsie might have to make.

876
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 7: A ruling on this one.

877
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 5: I don't think we heard you because I don't.

878
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: I don't take credit because I got the wrong.

879
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 12: You can hear him through the delay and through the

880
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 12: like we are Fox Sports, you can hear it. But

881
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 12: you guys kind of talked at the same time. So

882
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 12: but and you know, I don't hear what any this one.

883
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, this is the thing people know that I'm

884
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: not listening to them.

885
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 3: I'm so notorious, so true.

886
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 6: And you could have said it because I didn't know

887
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 6: what you were saying. That didn't sound like a name

888
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 6: to me because I never heard that name in my life.

889
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 5: Yes, so I didn't hear it either.

890
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: But I'm not taking any credit for that. Not so again,

891
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 2: that means that technically Nick or my daddy.

892
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 5: Yes, technically Nick gets.

893
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: It, which I owe him a Father's day yet, but

894
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: then you owe me anchors man. They're always daddy, And

895
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: by the way, they're not hard super hard questions. It

896
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 2: was just that specific timeline is where I had to

897
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: sort of go through my head.

898
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: No poetry probably.

899
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: Would have won more, but he got hurt and he

900
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 2: exactly injured ever since. Big server, Big Serve, a big guy.

901
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 2: So all right, good stuff, guys, excellent stuff. I'm rolling

902
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 2: along there, by the way, Speaking of golf, right now,

903
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 2: Bryson Shambo has a two shot lead over Rory McElroy.

904
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: But what's happening here, oberg just I believe got a

905
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: triple bogee? Now this is not necessarily the worst thing here,

906
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: no knock yet. He just had a triple bogee on

907
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 2: number thirteen to fall all the way back to two

908
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: under par. Matthew Pavon the Frenchman is that foreigner. But

909
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 2: think about this, guys. If we have a Bryson de

910
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: Shambo Rory McElroy final pairing tomorrow, that'd be exciting. Two

911
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 2: former US Open champions. Of course, Rory has not won

912
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: any majors in ten years.

913
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 5: That's ridiculous really.

914
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: Considering how many times he's in contention, so should be

915
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: a pretty good day.

916
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 3: That's a tradition. Of course.

917
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: US Open always wraps up on Father's Day. And there

918
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: was the most famous you know, we're talking about Father's

919
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: Day and at Pinehurst, and of course it was in

920
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. Think about what almost happened. We now

921
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: know the pain Stewart of course won and then tragically

922
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: was killed just months later in that plane situation. But

923
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: Phil Mickelson and his wife were expecting their first child,

924
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: and literally he had said that if she went into labor,

925
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 2: he would walk out on the US Open.

926
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 3: At that point, Phil had never won a major. He

927
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 3: was one shot.

928
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: Behind Payne Stewart coming to the final hole and if

929
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 2: they tie, those were the days when they had an

930
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 2: eighteen hole playoff the next day. So when Payne Stewart

931
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: hit the putt that won it, he grabbed Phil and

932
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: told him that being a dad's going to be the

933
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 2: greatest thing that's ever happened to you. His wife gave

934
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: birth the next day. Now would he have walked out?

935
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 2: Isn't that unbelievable? Would he have walked out of a

936
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: playoff because the next day would have been an eighteen

937
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: hole playoff for the US Open Championship. By the way,

938
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 2: Phil Mickelson won all the majors except the US Open.

939
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: He ended up runner up six times. I'm telling you

940
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: right now what could have been, what would have been,

941
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: especially if he had decided, you know what, I'm not

942
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: going to do. I'm not going to go against my word.

943
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 2: I'm going to be with my wife for the birth

944
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: of my first child, and I'm going to forfeit a playoff.

945
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: And then of course he's never actually won the US Open.

946
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 12: Wow.

947
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, well at.

948
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 6: Least, I mean, it's still a I feel like a

949
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 6: positive thing why he didn't win it, right Like, it

950
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 6: still is a good ending to the store in a

951
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 6: sense because you became a father. But that's weird, that's creepy.

952
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 6: And yeah, you wouldn't. He would have had to walk

953
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 6: away from another playoffs to an eighteen hole playoff that takes.

954
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 2: Out lot it's a full day, whole day.

955
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 5: No, you would have had to. So it's a good

956
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 5: thing he didn't. He didn't have Sophie's choice in that moment.

957
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: But in the end, he never won the US Open,

958
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: run und six times and never won the US Open.

959
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: All right, So we got some exciting stuff going on there.

960
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: I feel we're always remiss if we don't mention somehow

961
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark, I mean, if we don't do it.

962
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 6: Then we're not doing our job because everyone else is

963
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 6: talking about Oh well that's.

964
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: That's That's exactly my point. Now she continues to struggle. Yeah,

965
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: and you know, we're talking about the controversy about her

966
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 2: not being in the Olympics and the idea because I've

967
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: been talking.

968
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 3: To a couple of people about this.

969
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: And they say, when it comes to the Olympic Games,

970
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: you can't think in terms of marketability. You have to

971
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: earn your way onto the team. And the question is

972
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: is she one of the twelve best US women's players

973
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: right now And the answer is no, she's not. She's

974
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: the most famous by leap years. And they said it's

975
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: one thing to market the WNBA. I get that, you know,

976
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: you need to have exposure and you know the idea

977
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: that players are playing rough. But when it comes to

978
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 2: making the Olympic team, because you know, I'm very adamant,

979
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 2: like this is a blown opportunity to showcase her on

980
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 2: the biggest stage at the Olympics. And I say, the

981
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: biggest stage By the way, I saw that they were

982
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: making the point. And I did not know this because

983
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: I asked this question last time. How many people can

984
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: remember ever watching a single women's basketball game at the Olympics.

985
00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, not one.

986
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 3: And yet they're saying that they have unbelievable numbers, like

987
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 3: ten million people were watching four years ago, and I'm thinking,

988
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 3: who were these ten million people that were watching?

989
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 7: Yeah?

990
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 2: And by the way, how does that work? Because usually

991
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: in the summer, it's all on tape, you know, because

992
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about act like three in the morning four

993
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: actually three years ago. It was three years because of

994
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 2: the you know, it was in Tokyo. It wasn't live.

995
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: You're watching taped highlights and maybe it was included in

996
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 2: the package where you bought it and you get credit

997
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: for it. But what do you say about the argument

998
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: that when it comes to the Olympics you have to

999
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 2: throw away marketability and simply reward those that are most deserving.

1000
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't agree, especially in today's day and age.

1001
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 6: I understand that some people may feel that way. But

1002
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 6: we have had rookies beyond Olympic teams. How did they

1003
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 6: earn it because of what they did in college, And

1004
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 6: if you're telling me that her breaking records and what

1005
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 6: she did in college wasn't enough that she didn't earn

1006
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 6: it versus other rookies that have not done what she did,

1007
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 6: which was break records and they made it. That's that's

1008
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 6: what I don't understand. And the best twelve women I

1009
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 6: don't know if the best twelve women are on the roster.

1010
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 6: Like we talked about Diana Tarassi and her numbers, and

1011
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 6: it's like, is she there out of respect? Probably because

1012
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 6: she has been on the team for so many years,

1013
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 6: But the argument that we're sending the best twelve, I

1014
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 6: don't know if that's true. And maybe it's because we

1015
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 6: know that they're gonna win the goal because they are

1016
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 6: so dominant where it's I do not agree, And I

1017
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 6: think she should have been on the roster, and I

1018
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 6: think it would have helped just not even just the WNBA,

1019
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,240
Speaker 6: but it just would have helped women's sports in general.

1020
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 5: Because everybody is talking about Caitlin Clark. She is all

1021
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 5: over the place. Why not put her on the team.

1022
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 5: I don't agree that.

1023
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 6: I yeah, you want to tell me that it's not

1024
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 6: your responsibility to market, but then it was also the story.

1025
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 5: When it initially came out, Remember.

1026
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 6: It was like they said, well, they're worried about the

1027
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 6: fan base because she's not gonna play much. That is

1028
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 6: such a this is such bs that that was the reason.

1029
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 6: The first reason that came out was like, we were

1030
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 6: worried about.

1031
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 5: Her fan base.

1032
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 6: That is such BS. Since when do you care about

1033
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 6: the fan base. You're telling me you can't worry about marketing,

1034
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 6: but you're worried about the fan base.

1035
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 8: No.

1036
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 6: No, there's a disconnect here, And it's just hard to

1037
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 6: imagine that somebody on that team wasn't specifically saying Caitlin's

1038
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 6: on the team.

1039
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 5: I'm not on the team.

1040
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: The cell on Kaitlyn Clark was her Steph Curry like

1041
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 2: ability to throw up threes. Right, Yeah, there are thirty

1042
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: four players in the WNBA that have enough three point

1043
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: attempts to qualify for three point Percentagekay, thirty four players

1044
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: have enough attempts in terms of her three point shooting percentage.

1045
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 2: Of those thirty four, she's thirtieth.

1046
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 5: That's not good.

1047
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's your cell, right. I Mean, when

1048
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 2: Steph Curry was shooting threes, he was always among the

1049
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: very top in terms of his percentage made. She's near

1050
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: the bottom in percentage. She's attempted the third most, and

1051
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 2: she's thirtieth in percentage, which worries me long term for her.

1052
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: In other words, there's only so long that you can

1053
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: hang on to interest. You've got to deliver something. In

1054
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 2: college on the biggest stage, she just came up with

1055
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 2: huge games, and we'd be watching these games and it

1056
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 2: would be unbelievable.

1057
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 5: We have not seen that at allmb is of it.

1058
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 5: There's been glimpses of it.

1059
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 6: I understand what you're saying, that this can't go on

1060
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 6: for so long, because look at despite the bad numbers,

1061
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 6: people are still watching her and the Indiana fever, which

1062
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 6: is really impressive. But you make a point that it's

1063
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 6: like this isn't gonna last that long if she continues

1064
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 6: to have these below average the below expectation of what

1065
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 6: we thought she was gonna do everything we saw in college.

1066
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 6: But like Diana Trossi said, there was gonna be an

1067
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 6: adjustment period, and I just watching the fever, I don't

1068
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 6: know if they're playing to her strengths.

1069
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 7: Well.

1070
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 2: This last game that they won against Atlanta, her teammates

1071
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: Boston scored twenty seven points. Mitchell scored twenty four. She

1072
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 2: had seven points. Yeah, yeah, seven points. She was one

1073
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 2: for six from three point land. Yeah, And I'm like

1074
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: and after no, I mean, she looks beyond ordinary.

1075
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 6: And after they had like a couple of days off,

1076
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 6: she had that big game and I really thought it

1077
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 6: was gonna be the beginning.

1078
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 3: Of a Yeah, but that was against the windless mystics.

1079
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 5: Okay, the mystics just one another one.

1080
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,919
Speaker 2: But I mean, she's she's not that good.

1081
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 7: She's she is.

1082
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 5: I think she's just sudjusting and there's so much going

1083
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 5: on around her.

1084
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 2: But she's not getting better.

1085
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 5: She's not. But is it her?

1086
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,520

1088
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,440

1100
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:39,880

Speaker 2: NBA insider, is going to be joining us coming up

1111
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: here at the bottom of the hour. And before we

1112
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 2: get to the Lakers situation, I do want to get

1113
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 2: your thought on this big, big story. Seventy two year

1114
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 2: old Bill Belichick has a twenty four year old girlfriend. Yeah, okay,

1115
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 2: so apparently and he first what's even more alarming is

1116
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 2: that he actually met her three years ago when she

1117
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: was still in college. All right, so the idea, do

1118
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 2: you get nauseous. I mean, I'm trying to figure this out.

1119
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, from her stamp from the twenty four year

1120
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 2: old stampo former cheerleader, they met, I guess we're on

1121
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 2: a cruise. I don't know where they met somewhere three

1122
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 2: years ago, but now apparently they're an item. Seventy two

1123
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: and twenty four Belichick? Does he seem like the kind

1124
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: of guy think back when you were twenty four years

1125
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 2: like a fun guy?

1126
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. I Hey, if if she can do it,

1127
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 5: more power to her.

1128
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 6: She obviously knows what comes with dating Bill Belichick. If

1129
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 6: she can get past the age, why not?

1130
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 5: Age is nothing but a number.

1131
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: Really, So another ways, let's let's go back to when

1132
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 2: you were twenty four last year.

1133
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely yes, exactly.

1134
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: And could you imagine dating a seventy two.

1135
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 5: Years Absolutely not?

1136
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 3: How would your how would your father feel about that?

1137
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely not? Absolutely? I could not do it. I could not.

1138
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 2: So as a twenty four year old, if you were

1139
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 2: to bring Bill Belichick in as your new boyfriend, your

1140
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: dad would have said.

1141
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 5: Dad would he would have said, can what he would

1142
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 5: have told me?

1143
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 11: He was?

1144
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 5: Who's his grandpa? That's what he would have said. Why

1145
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 5: did you bring grandpa. Who is Grandpa's is No, I

1146
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 5: couldn't do it now, and I'm not twenty four. I

1147
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 5: I could not do it if you can get past

1148
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 5: asked it obviously, it's hard for me to sit here

1149
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 5: and tell.

1150
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,439
Speaker 3: Me think they were like, what do they have in common?

1151
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 7: What do you think?

1152
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 5: I think they have money. I think she likes money

1153
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 5: and he has it.

1154
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1155
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 6: I think she maybe likes presents and he probably has that.

1156
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 6: And that's what they haven't called it for them, And

1157
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 6: if it works for them, it works for them.

1158
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

1159
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: We wish them all the best.

1160
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 5: Yes, I hope you get like a boat out of it.

1161
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just I mean well, I mean

1162
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 2: thing of Bob Kraft right after his wife died, he

1163
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: had that young girlfriend.

1164
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 5: For a long time.

1165
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 6: Listen, and he's not married, so it's not like he's

1166
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 6: busting to Donald Sterling and having a mistress on the side.

1167
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 5: Whatever makes If it works for you, it works for you.

1168
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 7: All right.

1169
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 3: So this was a big story brewing last Saturday.

1170
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 2: When we were here. We were sort of waiting on

1171
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 2: the decision to be made by Dan Hurley, the Yukon coach,

1172
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 2: whether or not he was going to accept the offer

1173
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 2: to become the coach of the Lakers, and I said,

1174
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: from the very get go with this story. Look, Adrian

1175
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 2: Warsonowski has been recognized as the ultimate NBA insider for

1176
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: a long long time, and I certainly have a lot

1177
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 2: of respect for the work he's done over the years.

1178
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 2: But I also know this, when you work for that

1179
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,479
Speaker 2: Four Letter Operation, and I've known a lot of people

1180
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 2: have worked for them that are deemed insiders, you need

1181
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 2: to deliver and deliver. I mean you need to deliver

1182
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: stories that no one else has and Wold have been

1183
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: beaten by a few outlets on some big NBA stories.

1184
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: So not only did he break this story, but he

1185
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: broke it in a manner where it seemed like it

1186
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 2: was a done deal. Yes, Like the Lakers are about

1187
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: to make him one hundred million dollar plus deal and

1188
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: he's going to be in the next coach of the Lakers.

1189
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: The Four Letter Operation continue to talk about all their shows,

1190
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: like how's this going to work? How's Dan gonna be

1191
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 2: with Lebron? You know, is he gonna help develop Bronni

1192
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 2: James as a player when they draft him?

1193
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 3: They like it was a done deal.

1194
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: And then you find out that Herley hadn't even met

1195
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 2: with the Lakers yet. So he meets with him and

1196
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 2: then there's like this delay, and as soon as there

1197
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 2: was the delay, you're like, Okay, he's not taking this job,

1198
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 2: and then when it broke Monday that he's like no.

1199
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 2: And then to double down on it was is that

1200
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 2: it was not only a report that he was gonna

1201
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 2: be in a prime position to take the Laker job,

1202
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 2: but he's.

1203
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 3: Been there number one guy all along.

1204
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: It's been him number and you're like, well, if he's

1205
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 2: the number one guy all all along the Yukon season

1206
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: ended months ago, you could have hired him the day

1207
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: after you fired Darvin Ham if he was your guy

1208
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: all along. This story was a joke from the beginning,

1209
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 2: and the Lakers look awful.

1210
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 5: Yes, as for this story, Clipper Fan, the dumpster.

1211
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 6: Fire that was this situation for the Lakers was hilarious,

1212
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 6: especially because JJ Reddick. Remember they asked him and he

1213
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 6: made it seem before this story he said, I'm not

1214
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 6: going to talk about this until after the finals, like

1215
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 6: made it seem like he was really going to take

1216
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 6: We all thought Mark Medinas told us, no, it looks

1217
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 6: like everyone legitimately thought JJ Reddick was going to be

1218
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 6: the next Lakers coach, and then when this story broke,

1219
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 6: I literally was like, is this ESPN trying to fight

1220
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 6: the athletic Like is this more of what it's about?

1221
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 6: And it seems that way, but it doesn't make the

1222
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 6: Lakers look good in any way, shape or form.

1223
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 5: Who's running your who's running your organization?

1224
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 3: Well, it's obvious his name is Lebron James.

1225
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 2: Anyone that anyone that doesn't buy into the fact that

1226
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: Lebron James is calling every single shot for the Lakers

1227
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: is delusional.

1228
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 5: I look at.

1229
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 3: Bronni James is going to be drafted by the Lakers.

1230
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 2: Despite the fact that he shot thirty five percent from

1231
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: the field, twenty five percent from the three point line,

1232
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 2: sixty five percent from the free throw line, averaged less

1233
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: than five points a game, playing less than twenty minutes

1234
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 2: a game. He going to be drafted by the Lakers. Yeah,

1235
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 2: And when he is drafted, Lebron is going to announce

1236
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 2: that he's going to extend his contract with the Lakers,

1237
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 2: of course, and then they're going to announce that his

1238
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 2: podcast partner JJ Reddick will be the coach of the team,

1239
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: everything will be checked off the list for Lebron James

1240
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 2: the Puppetmaster.

1241
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 5: Yes is getting everything into place. Yes, getting everything into place.

1242
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 6: But it does really just bring a lot of questions

1243
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 6: if you're a Laker fan as to why you are

1244
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 6: letting Lebron run your organization like this, because people are

1245
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 6: laughing at you.

1246
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:38,479
Speaker 3: Right now because they're making money.

1247
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is, as miserable as the

1248
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 2: Lakers have been since the passing of doctor Buss, they

1249
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 2: are worth a lot more money now than they were

1250
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 2: when he passed away.

1251
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 5: I'm glad you said that.

1252
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 6: It does seem like they're not worried or they're not

1253
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 6: thinking about a championship, but they're just thinking about money

1254
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 6: still coming in.

1255
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 5: That's really what it seems like.

1256
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 3: Right, which is how most organizations are operated.

1257
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 6: Which is sad because as a Laker fan, you that's

1258
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 6: not the expectation I think that Laker fans have based

1259
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 6: on their history.

1260
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 2: Now this is not to say that maybe you know,

1261
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick is another pat Riley. He might be the

1262
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 2: right guy, right place, right time, right message, whatever it

1263
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: might be, but I ALWASO have said, Well, they apparently

1264
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 2: Reddick understands that he was in their first chock. This

1265
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: is what made this so bad was the fact that

1266
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: the Dan Hurley story was he was their guy from

1267
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 2: day one, right, like, this is the guy even though

1268
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 2: nobody had the story. Now nobody had this except for

1269
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 2: WOJ who threw it out there. And I mean, it's

1270
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 2: just beyond embarrassing.

1271
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 6: So is there a chance that JJ Reddick is like,

1272
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 6: you know what, screw you guys, you're making me look extraining.

1273
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 2: No.

1274
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 3: No, the reason he's holding off he's working right now.

1275
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 2: But right they're not gonna the league is not going

1276
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: to let them pull him off the bra Cats during

1277
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: the middle of the NBA Finals. As soon as the

1278
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 2: NBA Finals are over, you can bet the bank but

1279
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: that JJ Reddick will be named the new head coach

1280
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 2: of the Lakers.

1281
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 5: If I'm JJ, I would be like, you know what,

1282
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 5: I now have to think about things.

1283
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 3: You're still gone.

1284
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 5: If your number one choice was dinner early, I gotta

1285
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 5: think about things. What does he get?

1286
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Why would JJ Reddick be on anyone's list to be

1287
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: a head coach. He's never been a coach of anything.

1288
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 5: You're right, you are one hundred percent right. But I

1289
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 5: think now it's like because the conversation already happened. Like

1290
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 5: we are already talking about JJ Reddick being a head coach.

1291
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 6: It's like other teams are now willing to maybe consider

1292
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 6: it because they're like, well, it wasn't our idea with

1293
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 6: somebody else's idea.

1294
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 2: But now all right, well, I'm glad we're talking about

1295
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: this because on the other side, Mark Mendin is going

1296
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 2: to be joining us and we'll we'll get his thoughts

1297
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 2: on this. Plus this NBA Finals that is still breathing

1298
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: right now. But first let's find out what is trending.

1299
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: Nick Cope is back with us right now.

1300
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 9: Nick Bryson Deshamba is the best goal for this weekend

1301
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 9: at Pinehurst, number two, that's what's going on. He has

1302
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 9: grabbed firm command of this tournament. He has had eight under.

1303
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 9: He who had one of the best performances all day

1304
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 9: on the course. He's at four under for his round,

1305
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 9: eight under for the tournament, four shots clear of the

1306
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 9: field behind him. Matthew Pavaughn and Roy McRoy tied for

1307
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 9: second at four under. As they're getting late there, McElroy's

1308
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 9: on eighteen. Pavon is in the clubhouse. Deshambo just started

1309
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 9: sixteen so we could get that Deshambo McElroy final pairing,

1310
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 9: but it might be a tough hell for McElroy to

1311
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 9: climb with the lead that Deshambo has built. In the NFL,

1312
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 9: reports a Bengals receiver T Higgins has signed his franchise

1313
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 9: tag and he is expected to report to training camp

1314
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 9: next month. Reports say a long term deal for Higgins, though,

1315
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 9: is a long shot. Game four, the Stanley Cup Final

1316
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 9: coming up at about thirty minutes or so, the Florida

1317
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 9: Panthers trying to sweep the Oilers. If they do so,

1318
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 9: Florida would become the first team to sweep the finals

1319
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 9: since the Red Wings did it to the Capitol in

1320
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 9: nineteen ninety eight. In baseball, some finals of note, the

1321
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 9: Brewers beat the Reds three to one, Braves were ninety

1322
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 9: two winners over the Rays, Blue Jays shut out the

1323
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 9: Guardians five nothing, and the Orioles beat the Phillies six

1324
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 9: to two plus.

1325
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:18,439
Speaker 7: Two Oh Clapbard right field, This one's not coming back.

1326
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 2: Hits on the Utah Street.

1327
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 5: Holy cow, what a hummer.

1328
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 7: Anthony Suntander sit that.

1329
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 5: One nearly to Philly.

1330
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 9: Eric signed on WBAL Orioles Radio network again six to

1331
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 9: two the final. Do have a couple games going on

1332
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 9: regional action on Fox. Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway,

1333
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 9: and the Rangers and the Mariners in Seattle. College World

1334
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 9: Series Kentucky over NC State five to four and ten innings,

1335
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 9: third straight walkoff in Omaha, first time in seventy seven

1336
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 9: years that that has happened at the College World Series.

1337
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 9: Steve Monci back to you.

1338
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 2: All right, Nick, thank you very much. Once again. We're

1339
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 2: live from the Tairak dot com studios. All right, let's

1340
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: check in with our Fox Sports Radio MBA insider. You

1341
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 2: can hear him at least ten times a day right

1342
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio, which is a good thing

1343
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 2: because we certainly have plenty to talk about. Our dear friend,

1344
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 2: Mark Medina is join us once again, Mark. Before we

1345
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 2: get to the NBA Finals. Moncei and I were just

1346
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 2: talking about the aftermath of this disastrous, laughable Dan Hurley

1347
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 2: a rejection to the Lakers organization. And I've known woj

1348
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 2: a long time. You've known Woges a long time. Sometimes

1349
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: you're under a lot of pressure, there's a lot of

1350
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 2: competition to break stories, and he got egg all over

1351
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 2: his face on this one.

1352
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 3: Did you ever believe for a second.

1353
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 2: That Dan Hurley because it was reported that not only

1354
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 2: was he interested in the job, but he was the

1355
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 2: lakers number one choice from the get go.

1356
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 3: Did you buy into this story, Mark.

1357
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 12: Steve?

1358
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 11: What's fascinating about this story is that there were so

1359
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 11: many gray areas that led me to believe certain parts,

1360
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 11: and that led me to be skeptical. I'll tell you

1361
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 11: what I was optimistic about. It was real that the

1362
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 11: Lakers had interest in him. It was real that, yeah,

1363
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 11: they're going to have conversations, they're going to make an offer.

1364
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 11: There was actual internal optimism within the Lakers organization. But

1365
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 11: what I didn't understand is why not have this full

1366
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 11: court press from the very beginning? If that's the case.

1367
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 11: What really happened was, you know, we didn't see this

1368
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 11: emerge until weeks into the process. Now, the Lakers will

1369
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 11: tell you, well, there were informal discussions at the beginning,

1370
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 11: but and you know, there was kind of back and forth,

1371
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 11: and it wasn't until the news got out where it

1372
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 11: was actually a breakthrough that Okay, now they're actually going

1373
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 11: to have a final pitch meeting and this is something

1374
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 11: seriously he's considering. But it was just weird all across

1375
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 11: the board, because if I had to rank the Lakers

1376
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 11: like misgivings or errors and misses, I wouldn't ranked that

1377
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 11: Dan Hurley rejection that high only because you know, he

1378
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 11: had a good thing going at Yukon. He's already handsomely paid.

1379
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 11: There's a lot of other more egregious errors, like how

1380
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 11: they mishandled tight lose potential hiring, the Russell Westbrook trade,

1381
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 11: allowing Alex Carus to go. But I think with that

1382
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 11: being said, there's still a lot of question marks of

1383
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 11: what they're actually going to find in a head coach,

1384
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 11: What are the qualities, how do they address the final

1385
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 11: years of Lebron James, how they address the final years

1386
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 11: of the roster. So, yeah, there's just so much unpacking here, Steve.

1387
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 11: Is another thing unpacked is you would think that it's

1388
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 11: ideal that they get a head coach before the NBA Draft.

1389
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 11: That's not a foregone conclusion. It might not happen until

1390
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 11: after the draft, and that could create other challenges with.

1391
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 2: Just not having the.

1392
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 11: Coaching that both head coach and candidate as far as

1393
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 11: assystem go before actually happy to make roster decisions. For

1394
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 11: taying to the draft.

1395
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 5: Hi, Mark, thanks for joining us, Thanks for having me

1396
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 5: all the time, anytime you want.

1397
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 8: So.

1398
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 6: Obviously this seems messy. Just the order of events seems messy.

1399
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 6: Now does this make it messy with JJ Reddick?

1400
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 11: That remains to be seen because I think on one hand, uh,

1401
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 11: JJ Reddick or frankly any other coaching candidate shouldn't be

1402
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 11: taken up then if excuse me over the idea that

1403
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 11: they aren't the favored candidate. But I think what they

1404
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 11: should have concern about is just the process that this

1405
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:47,440
Speaker 11: organization and as well as what they do with addressing

1406
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 11: all the roster problems themselves. You know, there's a lot

1407
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 11: of holes in this roster. You have Lebron James to

1408
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 11: find father time, but at some point it seems a

1409
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 11: never that Father Time's gonna knock down a few punches.

1410
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 11: That's more severe. Anthony Davis. He's had surprisingly a mostly

1411
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 11: durable season this past year, but you can't think that

1412
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 11: that's sustainable. And then the rest of the supporting cast.

1413
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:20,560
Speaker 11: While the roster depth and continuity played a part in

1414
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,759
Speaker 11: them gaining into the Western Conference Finals the previous seasons

1415
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 11: against the Nuggets, their lack of depth led to their

1416
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 11: first round playoff exit, and so I don't know what

1417
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 11: the direct solutions are because they might have three first

1418
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 11: round picks to trade on Draft night, but I don't

1419
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 11: know how much that's actually going to yield in a trade.

1420
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 11: And so when you account for that, they have a

1421
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 11: lot of holes to fill and not enough moves to

1422
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 11: address those holes.

1423
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about what's going on in the

1424
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, I mean Game four. When you have a

1425
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 2: thirty eight point blow out on an NBA Finals game,

1426
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 2: two things have to happen. One, you have to have

1427
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 2: a team to win, which Dallas was, and then you

1428
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 2: have to have the other team mail it in, which

1429
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 2: is exactly what the Celtics did apparently. I mean, you know,

1430
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 2: I mean you look at these numbers for Jayalen Brown.

1431
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 2: I mean it was a mailing job. Like, you know,

1432
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 2: we want to win it on our home court. Remember,

1433
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 2: the Celtics have only won one championship since nineteen eighty six,

1434
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 2: so I mean, this is a big deal. If the

1435
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 2: Celtics are going to win this championship, they want to

1436
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 2: do it on their home court. But boy, if any

1437
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 2: team should be aware of that, it should be the Celtics.

1438
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 2: On what happened a year ago in that Eastern Conference

1439
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 2: Finals where they were down three to zero, came back,

1440
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 2: won three in a row, forced the Game seven at home,

1441
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 2: and laid an egg and lost that game. They better

1442
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 2: be careful here because if they lose Game five at home,

1443
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 2: look out, yeah.

1444
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 11: And look, I don't think that the Mavericks are going

1445
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 11: to make NBA history. I think while I do give

1446
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 11: them credit for their bounce back play with Luca actually

1447
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 11: playing defense, not complaining to the officials, him having additional

1448
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 11: help on top of Luca's offensive usual real usual offensive brilliance,

1449
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 11: it also required Boston not to play its best. Now,

1450
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,879
Speaker 11: this is the script we've seen all season with the Celtics,

1451
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 11: that when they don't feel challenged, they don't play hard.

1452
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 11: When they do feel challenged, they do. And so I

1453
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 11: suspect that we're going to see the better version of

1454
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 11: the Boston Celtics in Game five. But I don't think

1455
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 11: that guarantees anything, because there's question marks in regards to

1456
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 11: whether Chriss Porzingis is going to play, and I think

1457
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 11: that Dallas will play a lot more similar to the

1458
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 11: way they played in Game four than in Game three.

1459
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 11: But when you weigh all those things. I think that's

1460
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 11: only good enough to extend the series the six games.

1461
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 11: I don't think it's going to go anything beyond that,

1462
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 11: And I certainly don't think that the Celtics are going

1463
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 11: to make history for the wrong reasons. I think, you know,

1464
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 11: with apologies, the Laker fans are going to make history

1465
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 11: for the right reasons of now, you know, being in

1466
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 11: the leader for most NBA titles in league history once

1467
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 11: they get number eighteen.

1468
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 6: All right, let's hypothetically say the Celtics wrap things up

1469
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 6: on Monday, they win it.

1470
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 5: Who's the finals MVP?

1471
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 11: Mark Oh, That is a good question. I think it's

1472
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 11: actually going to go to Drew Holliday, really, because he

1473
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 11: has been that ultimate two way player that's dependable, and

1474
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 11: when you look at Jason Tatum, his numbers weren't always efficient.

1475
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 11: I do give him credit that he's embraced being a playmaker,

1476
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 11: but I think if you're going to look at him objectively,

1477
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 11: Drew Holliday has been the most consistent player from both

1478
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,640
Speaker 11: an offensive end defensive standpoint. Now, that doesn't mean that

1479
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 11: every voter is going to think that way, but I

1480
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 11: think that there are enough voters that will and I

1481
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 11: would certainly make the argument that he would be most deservant.

1482
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 6: Follow up on that, Jason Tatum doesn't win the Finals MVP,

1483
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 6: does it affect his legacy?

1484
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 5: His name, what he You know, everybody has been waiting

1485
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 5: for him to come up and be the man.

1486
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 11: Well, I don't think Finals MVP will affect his legacy.

1487
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 11: What I think would affect his legacy is the number

1488
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 11: of champions and ships he wins or loses. And so

1489
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 11: if the Celtics lose against Dallas, on one hand, you think, okay,

1490
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:09,839
Speaker 11: now they're going to have to make all these changes

1491
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 11: because how could you become the first team ever to

1492
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 11: squander a three to zero series lead. But even though

1493
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 11: they've been together for a while, Jason Tatum and JOm

1494
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 11: Brown still are in their prime. But I would go

1495
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,520
Speaker 11: back to if you're the first team that ever squanders

1496
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 11: that kind of lead, there's a lot of problems, and

1497
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 11: that part of it would be your star talent, and

1498
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 11: I think that that would be a huge thing to

1499
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 11: his legacy. That want to be the final verdict on

1500
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 11: his legacy, because I think there are still opportunities for

1501
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 11: him to win championships, but you can't squander this opportunity now,

1502
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 11: because the expectation is it's not about just him winning

1503
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,839
Speaker 11: one title, it's about winning multiple titles.

1504
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 2: I used to say the thing about Steph Curry. I mean,

1505
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 2: Nigodolla won the first one, and of course Durant won

1506
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,719
Speaker 2: the next two. But then finally Steph had that Finals

1507
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 2: MVP to add his resume and his legacy legacy. Smart

1508
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 2: Mendina would never do what Wach did, ever, blindly throw

1509
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 2: out his story hoping that it's going to be the

1510
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 2: breaking story of the year that just didn't work out

1511
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 2: well for him, just didn't work out well.

1512
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 11: David Monsa, all I'm going to try to do is

1513
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 11: just give you the honest opinions on I think the

1514
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 11: best Saturday show with you guys.

1515
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's very nice of you, Mark, and you do

1516
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 2: the great job. We appreciate We'll talk to you next week.

1517
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 11: Thanks, Mike, I appreciate you.

1518
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 7: All right.

1519
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:28,879
Speaker 3: That's up, Mark Medina.

1520
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 2: There by the way, an update on the US soap

1521
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 2: and Bryson Deshamba had a four shot lead.

1522
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,440
Speaker 3: He just double Bogiat sixteen.

1523
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 2: Now he has a two shot lead, which is good

1524
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 2: news for Rory McElroy, Patrick Cantley and the Frenchmen were

1525
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 2: all two shots back.

1526
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 3: All right, coming there.

1527
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 5: But on the other day, why is French the French

1528
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 5: French language so.

1529
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 2: Harsh, Matthew Polon, It's like it's like German. I learned

1530
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 2: that because I don't know.

1531
01:14:58,479 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1532
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 2: That's what I do. I I always love all the

1533
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 2: especially in the NHL. A lot of French names, you know,

1534
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 2: all Jean Beval used to have some of the great

1535
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 2: names of the past. And then now we have Pavon, who,

1536
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 2: by the way, will be in the final pairing with

1537
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 2: Deshamba unless Dishambo double Bogie is the next couple of holes.

1538
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue on. How much longer will these

1539
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 2: NBA finals last? We'll have the answer. This is Fox

1540
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:29,679
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday.

1541
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 6: Oh, this is a Jem Steve Baby Bash, Frankie Jo.

01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 3: I came up with the answer. I ran out of

1549
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 3: time to really think about it.

1550
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 5: You would have gotten it.

1551
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, your role a little more time was close.

1552
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,560
Speaker 5: Yes, but that's how we have to stump you.

1553
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:12,639

Speaker 12: I found out it's actually two thousand and three. The

1556
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 12: song came out when I was born.

1557
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 7: I didn't know that.

1558
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Thank you for I'm sorry. I started a kid. My

1559
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 2: sons they were born in ninety six and ninety eight.

1560
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 2: My daughter was born in one. Wow, So you were

1561
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 2: born in three? Yeah oh three? Yeah oh three. So

1562
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 2: you didn't get to experience the twentieth century.

1563
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 8: I did it.

1564
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 2: I just missed it.

1565
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 5: You missed on what was that the world was going

1566
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 5: to end?

1567
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 7: Two k?

1568
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that night, the December thirty first, nineteen ninety nine.

1569
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 12: It's crazy we had twenty twelve. I grew up thinking

1570
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 12: the world was going to end in twenty twelve. That's

1571
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 12: when the movie came out.

1572
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 2: That's true.

1573
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yes, I forgot about that movie.

1574
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 2: I think we're safe for a while. What do you think,

1575
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 2: Patrick uh who? Thank you so much for giving me

1576
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 2: a question that was not five right.

1577
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna stick with that going forward a

1578
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 3: little bit.

1579
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 2: I think it might.

1580
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 5: It was a great question.

1581
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 2: Thank you to not know.

1582
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 5: I would never also have guests, pat Riley. That such

1583
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 5: a good question.

1584
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 7: Thank you, thank you.

1585
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was excellent. Okay, once again, we're live from

1586
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 2: the tire rack dot Com Studios. Bryceon de Shambo got

1587
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: a birdie on seventeen, but he just hit a shot

1588
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 2: on eighteen that went into Jurassic Park. I don't even

1589
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:34,560
Speaker 2: know this. This thing is way out there. Yeah, so

1590
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where he's going to go from there,

1591
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 2: but it looks like Bryce into Shambo again will be

1592
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 2: the leader, uh going into the final round of the

1593
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 2: US Open.

1594
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 3: All right, so again.

1595
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 5: Monday Moncey, Monday Lunis.

1596
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 3: Look, every time I.

1597
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 2: Make a prediction, it's wrong. I mean just I mean

1598
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 2: my but I mean, let's let's let's let's think about

1599
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 2: this again. I mean, Dallas has got to come away.

1600
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 2: I mean, when you're down three games to nothing, you

1601
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,919
Speaker 2: have nothing to love, nothing, no one's expecting, they all expected.

1602
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 2: And then you go out there and again when you

1603
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 2: look at the Celtics numbers from a game four, I

1604
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 2: mean they were just ridiculous. I mean everybody played bad.

1605
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:12,879
Speaker 5: Everybody.

1606
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 2: I mean Jason Tatum, Jayleen Brown, everybody, and you have

1607
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:24,679
Speaker 2: Dallas with that care free attitude. I mean, Jason Kidd.

1608
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 2: When you have a coach that was a Hall of

1609
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 2: Fame player, been there, done that, played as long as

1610
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 2: he did in the NBA, there's nothing that Jason Kidd

1611
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 2: has not seen except for, of course, the team coming

1612
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,600
Speaker 2: back from a three zero deficit. But he's got to

1613
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 2: convey to his team, Look, we're going to go up

1614
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 2: against it. TD Garden is going to be rocking. They're

1615
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 2: looking for their you know, first championship since two thousand

1616
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 2: and eight. They're expecting that they're going to have a

1617
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 2: coronation come Monday night.

1618
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 5: Right right to stop streamers. We got to stop them.

1619
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,560
Speaker 2: We got to stop them, pressures on them totally to

1620
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 2: deliver for their fans.

1621
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what do you think are we going to

1622
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 3: see at least a game six?

1623
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 5: I do the Celtics are the better team. I think

1624
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 5: that we can agree to that.

1625
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 3: They have more quality, they.

1626
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 6: Have more quality players, and they're the better team. Not

1627
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 6: that the MAVs can't pull this off, but they're just

1628
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 6: gonna go in without any pressure, any expectation, And I

1629
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 6: think Jason Kidd needs to tell them, guys, if Christopsporzingis

1630
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 6: is not playing, we need to go through the middle.

1631
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 6: Go through our big guys in the middle and let

1632
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 6: them dish the ball out. But go through the middle,

1633
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 6: which I don't think Dallas did in game one, two three,

1634
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. And it's like, take advantage

1635
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 6: of that, make move the ball. I sow, ball is

1636
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 6: not the way to go. They were doing that game

1637
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 6: two and three. We cannot do that if you want

1638
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,600
Speaker 6: to win the game. I think the MAVs win it.

1639
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 6: I don't think the MAVs win the NBA title.

1640
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mentioned earlier that I've been down on Luca

1641
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 2: in this series. That being said, we've seen what he's

1642
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: done earlier in the playoffs. Well, all of a sudden

1643
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 2: he got on a roll of triple doubles and just

1644
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 2: took over games. And when you're in a must win situation,

1645
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 2: you're Star or stars Kyrie, they've got to become a

1646
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 2: big So I would think you want to get Luca

1647
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 2: fully engaged early on the get go, but get him.

1648
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 6: Well no, but but that's sort of his game, right,

1649
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 6: But don't start that. Maybe end the game that way,

1650
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 6: But you can't start with Iso ball. You've got to

1651
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 6: make the Celtics move.

1652
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: You have to.

1653
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 5: You don't like it, No I, no I do.

1654
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 3: I look at whatever gets.

1655
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:48,839
Speaker 5: Whatever gets the job.

1656
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 2: Done as a Celtics, as a lifelong Celtic hater. Can

1657
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 2: you imagine if the MAVs were the first team, If

1658
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 2: we're sitting here next Saturday talking about a game seven ridiculous?

1659
01:20:58,240 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 11: No, I would love that.

1660
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 5: I would love that. It would be so it would

1661
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 5: be so good.

1662
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 6: And I think there's a chance, I think there's a

1663
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 6: legit chance that the maps push things.

1664
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 2: You just think one game at a time, one game

1665
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 2: at a time, and you take it right there. All right,

1666
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 2: much more coming up. Don't go anywhere, keep it here.

1667
