The European Championship at Wembley Stadium. Had some 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: interest in that. We'll hear about that at two thirty 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: in Christ Prophet's World of Soccer. I was just in 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: London ten days ago, was at that stadium. Took some 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: interest in that game. No surprise, Real Madrid gets it done. 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: We finally got our NBA Final setup. We'll get to that. 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: Couple of great guests tonight, hard knocked NFL More michig 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: Os there, brand new food. What my name but what 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: was top of mind? And I've been doing radio a 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: long time, and someone would have told me the story 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: I want to lead with rhymed with w NBA, I'd say, well, 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: maybe you need to lie down, get yourself a cool 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: compress and some more milk and soft music. What are 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: you talking about? Well, that's exactly what I'm leading with tonight, 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: because when I got up this morning nine, i am 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: here on the left coast. The match between the Chicago 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: Skuy and the Indiana Fever was featured, it was promoted, 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: it was on National TV. Of course, Angel Reese versus 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, and it decided I really wanted to watch 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: this game from the eyeball of for you know, I 32 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: covered Detroit sports for many many years. Detroit Lions pre 33 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: and post, covered World Series, Super Bowls, All Star Games, 34 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: all of it. I decided to look at this game 35 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: through that prison and what I wanted to do. Forget 36 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: the hate, forget the side show, smack talk, and all 37 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: the rookie jealousy that this rookie class is facing. I 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: wanted to just sample the product at its face value. 39 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: And if I'm being honest, the product is good. These 40 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: ladies play a pure form of basketball. They play a 41 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: pure form of the game. There's ball movement with purpose. 42 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: They share the ball, they rotate, they switch, they communicate 43 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: on defense, they set each other up, they can test 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: every shot. They hustle, they play both ends of the floor. Yes, 45 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: they played below the rim, so there is less histrionics 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: from a run on Jemp standpoint. But it's more pure basketball. 47 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: But there's a story emerging having to do with the 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: treatment this rookie class is getting. And it's not just 49 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. And trust me, I'm gonna get to Caitlyn Clark, who, 50 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: by the way, whether you like it or not, she 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: did something today. She now has one hundred and fifty points, 52 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: fifty rebounds, and fifty assists after ten games. In twenty 53 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: six years of the WNBA, there's only been one person 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: to do that after ten games, Sabrina Ianescu. Now Caitlin 55 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: Clark has done it. But I digress. We'll get to 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: that in just a second. Look. Rookie treatment is as 57 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: old as the hills in sports. Happens in the NFL. 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: You gotta do rookie shows. Trust me, it happens in baseball. 59 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I've seen it, have been a part of it. Happens 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: in high school football, happens everywhere. Rookie hazing, rookie treatment 61 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: not just by a players, but by officials. You may 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: recall there was a great pitcher for the Chicago White 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: Sox back in the day, went on to become a 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: very funny, colorful announcer. I know, my buddy Mike Carmon 65 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: knows what I'm talking about. God by the name of 66 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Ed Farmer rest his soul. I do ed pretty well. 67 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: He was one of the most creative individuals of all time. 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Ed tells me a story his first weekend in the 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: Big leagues. The first hitter we ever faced was a 70 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer by the name of al Kayne Line. 71 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: He throws a pitch that he think is right down 72 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: the middle. It's called the ball. Throws another pitch he 73 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: thinks she's right down the middle. It's called the ball. 74 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: He's pissed. He approaches the homeplate Onpire and says, where 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: was that pitch. The umpire rips office basket and said, 76 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: young man, mister Kayline will let you know you've thrown 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: a strike by doubling off the wall. Rookie treatment is 78 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: as old as Lebron James hairline. Let's start with the 79 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: injur Reese. She's getting the rookie treatment. She's received four 80 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: big files in her last four games in the WNBA. 81 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: We've witnessed numerous clips of Caitlin Clark being elbowed, shoved, 82 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: pushed on the court and then anger Reese is one 83 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: of her most recent games, she was closeeslined by a 84 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 1: Lysa Thomas knocked to the floor. There were a couple 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: of incidents I think, by the way, prior to the game, 86 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: we shared her admiration for Alya Thomas, and after the 87 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: game injury is actually hanging out pretty well. Said, I mean, 88 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I want them to come at me every day. I 89 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: want them to come in everybody. I mean, they're not 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be nice to be I hope you all 91 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: know that they're not supposed to be nice to me 92 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: or laid down because I mean, Joris are because I'm 93 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: a rookie like you, you know, blah blah blah blah. Okay, great, 94 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: that was Maybe she means it, maybe she does it, 95 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: but she said all the right things, all the right things. 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: Today's Indiana Fever Contest won by the Fever seventy one 97 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: to seventy of the Chicago Sky was very chippy. I 98 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: thought a hockey game had broken out. And the coach 99 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: for the Fever said, I've seen enough hard falls on 100 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, and it's one thing. If it's done during 101 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: the framework of a basketball play, get it the level 102 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: of physicality and attention that the rookies are going to draw, 103 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: including Kitlyn Clark. Look why she's drafted number one overall. 104 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: She's already got herself a five figure, multimillion dollar deal. 105 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: Some people that's just simply gonna piss him off. That's 106 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: what happens in this country. We elevate people to their 107 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: highest plateau only to dom We do it with presidents, 108 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: we do it with entertainers, we do with politicians, we 109 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: do with everybody. I don't do it. I don't like it. Okay, 110 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm better than you. I just don't 111 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: like this, Michiguys. But people do it. It's what happens. 112 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: And the tooth of the matter is, you know, the 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: WNBA is truly growing in popularity because of the name 114 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: recognition of their stars. It's finally happening. You got to remember, 115 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: in this country, we don't have royalty. Our athletes and 116 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: our entertainers are our royalty. I haven't seen what the 117 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: the numbers were in terms of viewership on this game 118 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: Saturday between the Sky and Feary, but I bet they 119 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: were phenomenal. Right. You had the number one player picked 120 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: leading scorer of all time, You had age of reason, 121 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: they have the natural rivalry. And it got a little 122 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: weird because towards the end of the game an a 123 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: w NBA player that I guarantee you've never heard of, 124 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: named Kennedy Carter. And after the game, she says, I 125 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: don't want no questions on Caitlin Clark. Okay, fine. She 126 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: basically called Kitlin Clark a bch body slammed her from behind. 127 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: That was kind of like a chicken scratch if you 128 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: get my drift, and didn't even get a technical or anything. 129 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: And here's what I noticed about that play. You see, 130 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: when Angel Reese got hammered, I didn't see Kitlin Clark cheering, 131 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: But when Kaitlyn Clark got hammered, I saw Angel Reese 132 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: jumping up and down like you just won the lottery. 133 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: The hell's up with that? All right? Maybe you can 134 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: say it was in the framework of the competitive nature 135 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: of the game. But how's that helping to grow the game? 136 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: I think at some point somebody better pumped the brakes 137 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: because you don't want this to turn into WWE, all right. Basically, 138 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Carter made a jump shot with about fifteen seconds left 139 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: in the quarter, and then she prepared to guard Caitlin Clark, 140 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: who was set to receive an inbounce pass. But before 141 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: the ball was even thrown into play, Carter Kennedy Carter 142 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: looks like Chnnity Carter, but it's pronounced Kennedy Carter basically 143 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: lodged the right forum into Clark's back, sending Clark to 144 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: the floor. The play was ruled in away from the 145 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: play file due to what happening before the inbomb, but 146 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: it was not upgraded to a flag in our technical file. Okay, 147 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: maybe the reps are doing to Caitlin Clark what that 148 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: umpire did Dad Farmer. So the way it goes, welcome 149 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: to the league. Rookie Clark made the free throw to 150 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: give Indiana five point lead heading into the final period. 151 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: They won by one. So did Kennedy Carter really help 152 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: her team by doing that? And perhaps the full exchange 153 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: began Maybe twenty seconds earlier, when Caitlyn Clark appeared to 154 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: say something to Carter after the Fever recovered a loose 155 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: ball and scored on offense. Then Carter came down got 156 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: the bucket before knocking Clark over. And when she was 157 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: initially asked about the interaction in postgame media, as I said, 158 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Carter responded with next question, And I get it, Caitlin Clark. 159 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: Her shorts are on clean all throughout the year, last 160 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: couple of years. That I which should make a shot 161 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: and she'd panted the crowd. But I think she's handed 162 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: herself in a very classy way. I haven't seen Cameron 163 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: Brinkett this kind of hate. I haven't seen anybody get 164 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: this kind of hate in a while. But look, she's 165 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. She's drawn attention, There's a 166 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: level of physicality she's drawn from opponents. This is how 167 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: a WNBA career is beginning. She's played ten games now 168 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: people are already finding her dead and buried. And that 169 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: you're right if you feel you need to do that, 170 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,599 Speaker 1: I say we let it simmer for a while. You 171 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: heard my commentary last week. Great players like Ken Griffy Jr. 172 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: And Willie Mays and Adrian Beltray. The list is as 173 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: long as Lebron's bad hairline of players who started slowing 174 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: it up all right now, I make no predictions or 175 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: not Caitlin Clark's going to be a Hall of Famer. 176 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let it play out. Everybody's overreacting so quickly, 177 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: and they're rooting for her to fail. And again, she's 178 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: not the only one getting the rookie attention. You know. 179 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: Angel Reiche has been slammed a few times as well. 180 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: So the bottom line is the NBA has got people's attention. 181 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: If they want to keep people's attention, they won't turn 182 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: it into a circus. It's got a chance of turning 183 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: it into a circus. If Caitlyn Clark retired tomorrow. You 184 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: may not like hearing this, but if you can't handle 185 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: the truth, that's not my problem. Caitlyn Clark says, I've 186 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: had enough of this. I'm gonna go get a job 187 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: at NAP Auto Parts and Customer Relations. Trust me, trust me, 188 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: the ratings would fall. They would be there as it may. 189 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: I meant what I said. I think the product in 190 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: and of itself is very good. The ladies play a 191 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: pure form of basketball. They share the ball, they play 192 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: with purpose, They rotate, switch, communicate, play defense, playing both 193 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: ends of the floor. They hustle. The athleticism is probably 194 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: as good as it's ever been. We'll see where they 195 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: go from here. You want WWE, you want circus clown show? 196 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: Or do you want to grow this into something that 197 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: could be truly special? And when the tide rises, all 198 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: the boats rise. Let's make no mistake, this is a 199 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: league that's lost money twenty five straight years. They exist 200 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: because of the largest of the NBA and their willingness 201 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: to subsidize this thing. Let's see where it goes for here. 202 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: From here, I watch today, We'll see if I continue 203 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: to watch in the future. Coming out, Major League Baseball 204 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: continues to experiment and tinker. I don't like it, but 205 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do. We're gonna bring 206 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 1: in a gentleman, ten year Major leaguer current broadcaster for 207 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: Wake Forest Baseball, Larry Sorenson, former All Star.

When you're number one preseason, 235 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: everybody wants you man. 236 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 5: Well, that's a fact that I think part of what 237 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 5: we're seeing as the parody of college baseball because there 238 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: were upsets all over the place and a lot of 239 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 5: teams going home. Nobody thought would So it happens, And 240 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 5: you're exactly right when it is different when you're number 241 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 5: one starting the season, and a good portion of it 242 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 5: people who approach the game differently when they come to 243 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 5: play and cut up to wait for us this year. 244 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: Seven walk offs yesterday and that ninth inning today was 245 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: a game in and of itself. I couldn't believe what 246 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: I was seeing. But day as they say, that's baseball, right, well. 247 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 5: Lake Port scored five runs to go up, to go 248 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 5: up in the ninth inning, three back in the bottom 249 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 5: of the night to lose it. So I'm Bernie, I've 250 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 5: seen a lot of baseball. 251 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 6: I don't remember one like that. 252 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: I texted you after your five spot to nights, I 253 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: should just hold on, baby, you're playing with the infield in. 254 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: I never seen somebody seeing eye hits in my life. 255 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 5: It was an amazing experience, and I give credit to 256 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 5: the East Carolina crowd because they had about six thousand 257 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 5: people out there. You're a college baseball game, and no 258 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 5: question that they were a factor in East Carolina found 259 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 5: a way to get it done. So move on and 260 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 5: start doing prep works for football. 261 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: There you go talk with Larry Sorenson, former Major League 262 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: Baseball All Star, longtime Detroit Tiger's broadcaster, current with Wake Forest. 263 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: So something happened in today's game, Larry, and I can 264 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: only see it on TV, but you were there. From 265 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: what I could see, there was a very inconsistent strike 266 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: zone today. Am I right about that? 267 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 5: Oh? That's that's safe to say. 268 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. So that kind of segue is Larry into our 269 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: topic tonight, which I was looking forward to having you 270 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: on about this next spring. We're gonna have robot OMPs 271 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: for balls and strikes, and there's not a dot in 272 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: my mind. We may not see it in twenty five, 273 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: but we might see it in twenty It's coming. It 274 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: is coming. I may be in the minority. I don't 275 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: like it, and I'm going to explain why, But knowing 276 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: you and your preparation, there's not a dot in my 277 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: mind that and your turn came up on the rotation. 278 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: You knew who the crew chief was. You knew who 279 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: your home plate umpire was going to be. You knew 280 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: the tendency's worry set up. If he was a fat guy, 281 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: maybe couldn't see a low pitch. You get it. Am 282 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: I wrong about that? 283 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 5: No, you're You're absolutely right, and you knew that which 284 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 5: umpires liked to call low pitches. Of course when I played, 285 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: they still had for part of the time that I played, 286 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 5: they had the outside chess protector. They had those big 287 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 5: puffy pillow for chest detectors. Now, the thing is is 288 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 5: umpires liked to call in games that I pitched because 289 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 5: I threw strikes. 290 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 6: I averaged two point. 291 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 5: One watch for nine innings, and so umpires knew I 292 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 5: was going to be around the strike zone all the time. 293 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 5: And I made their job easy because they narrowed their 294 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 5: zone down. They didn't have to look at one pitch 295 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 5: six feet high and the next one an inch off 296 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 5: the plate and try to make a decision on it. 297 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 5: So I was an easy guy to call a game for. 298 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 5: Bertie Irey. Is the thing that I think has changed 299 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 5: so much today is you just don't realize what these 300 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 5: guys that are able. 301 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 6: To do with the baseball tonight. 302 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 5: Chase Burns yesterday at the college level is throwing one 303 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 5: hundred miles an hour with the baseball moving two different directions. 304 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 5: He's got two different breaking balls that he's throwing ninety 305 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 5: one miles per hour and eighty seven mile prow. 306 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 6: Going in two different directions. 307 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 5: The young man that pitched for East Carolina has a 308 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 5: split finger that did everything that Bruce Sooners did, except 309 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 5: he did it at eight miles per hour harder. So 310 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 5: the job that we're asking human beings to do is 311 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 5: really really difficult. And believe it or not, the guy 312 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 5: that's had four beers that's sitting eighteen rows up beyond 313 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 5: the first beyond first base in the outfield does not 314 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 5: have a better view. 315 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 6: Of it, no matter how much they want to think. 316 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: So well, you bring up a lot of great points. 317 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: And I know the late movement now is crazier that 318 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: it's ever been with wrinkles on balls. And some of 319 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: these guys are up there in the years and maybe 320 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: you know they're seeing eye dog isn't as sharp as 321 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: they are. But look, I'm going to I played at 322 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: a high enough level as a catcher and framing. That's 323 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: going to be a lot start now, and I would 324 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: some mplayers would set up on the inside of the plate, 325 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: some would set up on the outside of the plague, 326 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: so their vision is going to be impaired. Like you 327 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: said back in the day, I think there was a 328 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: period of time, Larry, because you played in both leagues 329 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: where the American League gumps were the outside chess protector 330 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: and the National leagumps for the inside one. So your 331 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: vision's impaired. The problem for me is what we want 332 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: is consistency. Now you're not going to ever have it. 333 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the unforeseen consequence. Like we thought the 334 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: NFL would solvage problem with replay review, all it did 335 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: was exacerbate the human factor. What do we not know 336 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: now that we're going to expect when robot umpires take over. 337 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: Because I don't like it, Larry, because if baseball is 338 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: a thinking man's game, and if you pay attention to 339 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: what's happening, you could find an edge here with certain umpires. 340 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 5: Well, I'm with you on that, Bernie, and I understand 341 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 5: that different guys are going to have different zones because 342 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 5: it takes four times of a second for the ball 343 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: to get to home plate, you know, roughly averaged from 344 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 5: the time it leaves the pitcher's hand until it gets 345 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 5: to home plate, so that the amount inside of that 346 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 5: you're trying to reacting to it and pitches going with 347 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 5: some guys anywhere from eighty two to one hundred and 348 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 5: one miles per hour, and so the umpire's. 349 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 6: Got to adjust to that. The other thing is, if 350 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 6: we use a row umpire, how do we adjust the 351 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 6: strike zone? 352 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 5: You know, Aaron Judge is going to have a different 353 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 5: strike zone than jose L Twov. Do we take an average, 354 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 5: how do we set the strike zone. 355 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 6: For different guys? 356 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 5: You know, there's an awful lot that still has to 357 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 5: be worked out. I will say this though. What it 358 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 5: will do is it will take away the ability for 359 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 5: people to argue about it. It was outside. It was 360 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 5: low to a human being behind home play because he's 361 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 5: not the one that made the decision. And back when 362 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 5: they started with this in twenty nineteen, I was at 363 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 5: a game in Kissimi, Florida, where they use the system, 364 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 5: and it was the one of the fastest moving games. 365 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: And pace is what Major League Baseball is all about today. 366 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 5: Let's keep things moving as much as we can to 367 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 5: put as much action in his short of time a 368 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 5: period time frame as we possible. 369 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 6: They can, and that's what they want to do. 370 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 5: And there's no arguing the guys who said, well, if 371 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 5: that's what the computer said, that's what the computer said. 372 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 6: We'll have, you know, the bounce pitches that the. 373 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 5: Umpire is going to have to make judges out at 374 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 5: the ball hit and. 375 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 6: Bounced up and those kinds of things. And there are. 376 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 5: Flaws, but it's going to take a lot of that, 377 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 5: a lot of the ability for guys to. 378 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 6: Argue out and that's going to make a difference. 379 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: So what do you do if you if you react 380 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: to a pitch and they call it a strike and 381 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: I turned around and see was that swinging or called? 382 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I got to ask a computer. 383 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 5: Well, you know, because they are allowing a challenge to 384 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 5: some pitches and they're finding out that even the machines 385 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 5: are wrong. So I think that's further illustrates exactly how 386 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 5: difficult this process is and how hard it is to 387 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 5: call it. And you know, guys that are throwing, guys 388 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 5: that are calling ninety four to ninety eight percent of 389 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 5: the pitches correctly, are geniuses at the major league level 390 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 5: for what they do. And if you're seeing three hundred 391 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 5: and fift see the four hundred pitches a night, you 392 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 5: will miss pitches. It's going to happen, and you just 393 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 5: have to understand. Now, you hope it doesn't get too agreed, 394 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 5: just that we've seen some of those umpires that have 395 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 5: more difficulty than others. But even at the college level 396 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 5: this year they had the track Man machine that was 397 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: great umpires performances, and the head coaches were able to 398 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 5: see it, and there were guys with awful scores, but 399 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 5: there were a lot of guys that if you're catching 400 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: nine out of ten pitches, you're one of the best 401 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 5: in the industry, right And of. 402 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: Course umpires are graded, and so you know, there's another 403 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: situation here when you deal with technology. So I'm assuming 404 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: they'll have some software. You know, Aaron Judge is six 405 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: foot seven, jose l TV's about five foot six, you know, 406 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: great analogy. I imagine there'll be some kind of software 407 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: built up that's going to recognize their frame and their 408 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: arm pits and their knees or whatever. We had a 409 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: caller to my shore last night says, what do you 410 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: do if the software goes down and they don't see 411 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: all the umpires? You're going to stand there like Leslie 412 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: Nielsen in the Naked Gun. 413 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 5: You dude, find some obscure references. Man, you've got a 414 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 5: great audience. I always love talking to you. Yeah, it's 415 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 5: gonna be an interesting process, new question about that. And 416 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 5: you know there will still be umpires there. Even back 417 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 5: in nineteen when I saw the minor league game, you. 418 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 6: Know, they had ear consist and they were getting a. 419 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 5: Direction from the press box, yes or no, wallow a 420 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 5: strike and it was as simple as that. So there 421 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 5: will be things work to be worked out. And as 422 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 5: you know, I work with the Fix Logic Baseball right. 423 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 6: The chip inside, and we are. 424 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 5: Working to put some kind of a strike zone into 425 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 5: that package instead of just where the ball is in space. 426 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 5: And it's incredibly complicated, unbelievably difficult to try to do 427 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 5: the code and the programming and everything else. But we've 428 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,239 Speaker 5: got a lot of small people and eventually they're going 429 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 5: to get it figured out to a situation where it 430 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 5: will satisfy the masses enough that there's no doubt in 431 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 5: my mind that it's coming and it will be in 432 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 5: major League Baseball at some point. 433 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: So Larry, we're talking to Larry Sorenson, tenure major leaguer 434 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: retired nine straight guys in the seventy eight All Star Game. 435 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 1: If you are for it, I'm okay. So if I 436 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: understand you correctly, you're thinking this might be a good thing. 437 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 6: I'm thinking it could be a good thing. 438 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 5: I'm thinking it absolutely will happen. And Bertie, you and 439 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 5: I have been disagreeing with each other since the early 440 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 5: nineteen nineties or so, so the first step disagreeing with 441 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 5: each other about things. But I do think that it 442 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 5: is one of the inevitable changes that is going to happen, 443 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 5: and we'll get to a point where our technology artificial 444 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 5: intelligence maybe. I mean, we've got artificial intelligence in our 445 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 5: baseball that identifies the baseball as a pitch, so it 446 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 5: can tell if the ball is a cutter of slider change. 447 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 6: Up depending on the movement. 448 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 5: And the database that's Bill fell Up that we use, 449 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: that is Major League Baseball's database, and it identifies the 450 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 5: pitch so that you don't have to look at it 451 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 5: with a naked eye and say what it was, and 452 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 5: you know, to kind of spin these guys from it. Oh, yeah, 453 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 5: these days it's almost impossible. 454 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: It was pretty good a while ago too. You know, 455 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: it's not easy to hit a baseball round object with 456 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: a round object going ninety miles an hour. And now 457 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: I must say, Larry, in fairness, when we played long 458 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: toss in twenty one, you probably beat me. If there 459 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: would have been a robot umpire, I might. I might 460 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: have pinched you a little bit, you know, I might 461 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: have pinched you a little bit before we let you run. Larry, 462 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: tell folks about the pitch Logic Baseball. I think it's awesome. 463 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: It's a great training tool for up and coming inspiring ballplayers. 464 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, we talked about. 465 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 5: Track Man and now Hawkey is the system that major 466 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: league players use, which is cameras around the stadium. But 467 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 5: the pitch Logic Baseball has a circuit board inside the 468 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 5: baseball that gives you the all the different spins. The 469 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 5: Velocity has some suggestions for how you can improve pitches 470 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 5: for the younger guys. 471 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 6: Video in you can take. You turn your iPhone on 472 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 6: and it gives you video of. 473 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 5: You actually throwing, just from your iPhone or your iPad 474 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 5: or your Android device, and really a lot of great 475 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 5: useful tools to show the differences in the pitches and 476 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 5: how you can make the ball work more efficiently as 477 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 5: you're releasing it. 478 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 6: It's a great tool for kids from ten to eighteen. 479 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 5: And we've got major league teams. A local team that 480 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 5: you and I both happen to love in one area 481 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 5: of the country is getting some balls from us here 482 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 5: next week. So it's a great tool for aspiring pitchers 483 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 5: and position players, catchers, infielders, outfielders. They can throw and 484 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 5: get all their information as well at pitch logic dot com. 485 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: Hey, look, technology is upon us. And as long as 486 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: they don't change sixty feet, six inches and ninety feet 487 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: between the bases all throughout the years, whether it's afterturf 488 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: in a league, play, the wildcard round, all that stuff, 489 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm okay with evolution in baseball. This one just got 490 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: me a little bit. But if you like it, I'm 491 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: going to keep an open mind. 492 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 5: Well, well, I appreciate that I do. I very rarely 493 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 5: win arguments with you, so we'll consider this little plus. 494 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 6: But since you're talking about. 495 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 5: Those innovations, what do you think about the se trying 496 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 5: the additional base during their conference tournament?

But it's gonna feature 578 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: the best regular season team against arguably one of the 579 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: basketball's best, most dominant duos. According to stan Van Gundhi, 580 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: who's in a possibly nice guy to see him come 581 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: through Vegas. When I was doing unw basketball. He thinks 582 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: that Kyrie and and Luka are the best duel of 583 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: all time. I don't know if I can go there. 584 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: They haven't won anything yet, but I'll tell you what, 585 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: there are certainly prolific offensive players. So you got the 586 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, the top team in the Eastern Conference. They're 587 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: gonna face Luca Kyrie the Mavericks, the winners of the 588 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: Western Conference Best in seven series. As you know, starting Thursday, 589 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: June sixth. The Celtics haven't won anything since two thousand 590 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: and eight, but they are going for a record eighteenth championship, 591 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: which would put them one ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. 592 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: The MAVs making their first NBA appearance since winning their 593 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: only title in twenty eleven. So the Celtics haven't played 594 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: since their Game four Monday Night. This last Monday night, 595 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: which was what May twenty seventh, so have about a 596 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: ten day layoff. They swept the Indiana Pacers. The MAVs 597 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: won Thursday's Game five against Minnesota Timberwolves. But you know 598 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: all that actually starts tip off? Well, they say it's 599 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: eight thirty Eastern in Boston on Thursday. You ever notice 600 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: how it never tips off on time, so like seven 601 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,479 Speaker 1: or eight minutes late. Man, I hate that. But ABC 602 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: will be broadcasting all the games. Why is there such 603 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: a long gap? People want to know. Well, the league 604 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: does this every year. They have a set schedule, and 605 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: no one could have known that the Celtics would sweep 606 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: in the conference finals for ZIP and the MAVs would 607 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: win in four games or five games in the respective 608 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: conference finals. So you're gonna get a week long break. 609 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: And in recent years, the NBA Finals have always been 610 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: set ahead of time for all seven games in consideration, 611 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: you know, golf course, for all their stakeholders and all 612 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: their broadcast partners and fans. So it's slotted, you know 613 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: what it's going to be. Celtics had a very gaudy 614 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: regular season sixty four and eighteen. This year, they got 615 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: the top seed in the East. They've only lost two 616 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: games so far in the playoffs. They were both game 617 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: twos against the eight seeded Miami Heat and the fourth 618 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: seeded Cleveland Calves. But after falling to the Heat last 619 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: year in the Eastern Conference finals, Boston kind of got there, 620 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: you know. They avenged their playoff loss. They beat Miami 621 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: in five in the first round. Then They beat the 622 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: Cavaliers in five in the second round. Then they beat 623 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: the Pacers, who were without Tyrese Haliburton for part of 624 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: the series, in five in the third round. MAVs had 625 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more of an uphill climb this year. 626 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: They were still fifty to thirty two during the regular season, 627 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: but they were only the fifth seeded team in the West. 628 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: Once they pulled off that series against the Clips four 629 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: games to two in round one, it took care of 630 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: Oklahoma seating round two. That set up a match with 631 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, who a lot of people thought, including me, 632 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: would be a lot more competitive than they were, and 633 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: they just weren't. I think I absolutely believe that the 634 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: Timberwolves were good enough to win the whole damn thing 635 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: this year with the talent they have. You don't beat 636 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: Denver three times in Denver, including a Game seven when 637 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: you're down twenty, and not be good enough to do it. 638 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: But you heard my rationale Friday night, what's in state? 639 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: Boston's got their own pressure Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. 640 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: They're back in the NBA Finals for the second time 641 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: in three years. They're looking for their same championship that 642 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: did the first championship. But then you got Dallas, by 643 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: their led, by their potent combo. Luca was an NBA 644 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: VP finalist. Kyrie is an eight time All Star. We 645 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: always knew he was a prolific offensive player. Now he's 646 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: showing up to work and he's up giving speeches about 647 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: flat Earth or any of other stupid stuff. So you 648 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: got a very couple of very hungry teams, and the 649 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: storylines will develop. There's a couple of storylines I guarantee 650 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: you're going to be hearing about. You've got somewhat added 651 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: intrigue because Kristaps Porsingas used to play for the MAVs, 652 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: and of course Kyrie Irving used to play for the Celtics. 653 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: Irving was with the Celtics from twenty seventeen to nineteen. 654 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you I can hear the booze 655 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: now when he takes the floor Thursday night in Boston. 656 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: He left in very unceremonious fashion. It did not go well. 657 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: One other storyline. Joe Mizzoula, thirty five years old, the 658 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: head coach of the Boston Celtics, the youngest head coach 659 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: to reach the NBA Finals since Bill Russell did it 660 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: back in nineteen sixty nine. Russell was at the time 661 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: he was a player coach. A player coach can't do 662 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: that anymore, but he was a player coach, but obviously 663 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: similar to Joel Mizzoula. On the other side, he got 664 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: Jason Kidd, and the kid's a little older fifty one. 665 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: He won a title as a player for the Mavericks 666 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: and as assistant coach for the Lakers in twenty twenty 667 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: in the Bubble. But irrespective of who wins this series, 668 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: it'll be the first title for either of those coaches, 669 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: Joe Mazzula or Jason Kidd. By the way, during their 670 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: regular season, Boston, if you're scoring at home, and I 671 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: hope you are. Boston won both regular season matchups against 672 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: Dallas January. They beat them one to nineteen one ten 673 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum at thirty nine points. Celts were without poor 674 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: singers in the second half on the road back to back. 675 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: The mass had four days off. But later in March 676 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 1: in Boston Celtics won to get by twenty eight points. 677 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: And I think this is a different Mavericks team. If 678 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: you like threes, this matchup final is for you. It's 679 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: just going to be reigning three. You're gonna get sickle 680 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: watching threes. The Celtics led the NBA and threes made 681 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: and attempted this season. The mass or second in three 682 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: is attempted and third and three is made, and you 683 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: Luca gets off the bus and shoots. Now, the Celtics 684 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: are a prohibited favorite minus two twenty five to win 685 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: the series, and Jason Tatum is currently the MVP favorite. 686 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: Boston if you are saucy and you want to lay 687 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: the wood Thursday Night has opened up as a six 688 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. So by the time I 689 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: send on the Bertie Frattle Show next Friday Night, we 690 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: will have one game under our belt and we'll be 691 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: able to talk about it. We'll see if the series 692 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: starts to take shape just a little bit. And I 693 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,479 Speaker 1: hate that I just use my name in the third person. There. 694 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: Coming up, the Buffalo Bills have signed an individual and 695 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure if they were wrestling with the decision, 696 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: but the decision has been made. See what I did there. 697 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: I'll pay off that tease. Coming up in just a second. 698 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Frattle for Comedy Alive from the Las Vegas 699 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Tarret dot com studios.

I get the 714 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: feeling we're gonna be hearing that name a lot. We 715 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: already are. Matter of fact, between now and June twenty six, 716 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: we've had a nickel for every time I hear the 717 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: name Bronnie James. I think Elon Musk could be mowing 718 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 1: my log, but I digress. Nice job Bart the Buffalo Bills. 719 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills have signed wait for it, a former 720 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: Olympic gold medalist Oh, wait a minute, they don't play 721 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: football in the Olympics. No, but they wrestle. The Bills 722 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: are signing former Olympic wrestler, a gentleman by the name 723 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: of Gable Steveson, to a three year standard rookie deal. 724 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: Steveson hasn't played football. They beginning a shot with the 725 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: Bills despite not previously playing football. It's twenty four years old. 726 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: He's got a tremendous wrestling background. Racked up all kinds 727 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: of accolades during his wrestling career. Gold medal at the 728 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty Olympics, three time All American in Minnesota, two 729 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: time Division one National champion, two time Dan Hodge Trophy winner, 730 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: six one, two hundred and seventy five pounds. Steveson began 731 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: to think he might want to be an NFL guy 732 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: got let go by the WWE this last month. He 733 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: got interest from several NFL teams, but chose to sign 734 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: with the Bills because he thinks they can develop him 735 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: as a skillful, potential defensive linement. The Bills are intrigued. 736 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: They look at Steveson as an ideal practice squad candidate 737 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: for this year, and who knows what can go for 738 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: there from there. Steveson was quoted recently quote, I've been 739 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: fortunate to compete at the highest level of competition in 740 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: my sport, but I'm looking forward to the challenge of 741 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: seeing how my wrestling skills might translate to football. I'm 742 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: grateful to coach Sean mcdernott, who I believe is a 743 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: wrestler in his day, Brandon being their general manager in 744 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills organization for giving the opportunity. As I said, 745 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott also has a wrestling background, which doesn't hurt things. 746 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, Buffalo, if there's one thing they 747 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: have a good reputation for is an excellent track record 748 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 1: of getting the most out of defense attacks with statures 749 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: similar to Steveson. Again, he's six ' to one, two 750 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pounds. And again, the Bills were 751 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: not the only team that expressed interest in signing Steveson. 752 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: There's an organization called Red Envelope Sports. Apparently they put 753 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: out some sort of publication having to do with, you know, 754 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: the teams that were interested in Cable Steveson. But this 755 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: is this is very intriguing to me because this is 756 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: not only his Steveson never played football, but the other 757 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: day he joined the team for a workout. It was 758 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: the first time he'd ever put on cleats. Yeah, I 759 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: got an open mind. I want to see what he 760 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: can do. Back in the day, way way back in 761 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: the day, the College Cowboys had a wide receiver by 762 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: the name of Bullet Bob Hayes, the fastest human in 763 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: the world. He's the only athlete to ever win a 764 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring Analympic gold medal. He won it in 765 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: one hundred meters so and he went on to a 766 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: very good career back in the Cowboys days when the 767 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys with the Cowboys as a very fast wide receiver, 768 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: Bullet Bob Hayes. I know people remember that, and oh 769 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: my god, Steve Hartman would remember that. So let's see 770 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: what happens. Talent comes from everywhere. The NFL is always 771 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 1: looking for talent. Sometimes you get a crossover and lightning 772 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: in a bottle. We'll see if Buffalo can pull this off. 773 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: Coming up, Mark Medina and Medina Magic, the NBA keep 774 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: it locked. Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, Well that's right, 775 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: you heard the man.

It's gonna be a busy month in the NBA, 782 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: believe it or not. The NBA Finals are almost here, 783 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,919 Speaker 1: and after that to be the Draft and all kinds 784 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: of talk. But anyway and slice it, there's always news. 785 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: That's why every Saturday night at midnight, three words, it's 786 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: that time bringing our guy, Mark Medina, Medina Magic. He's 787 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: our Fox Sports Radio NBA gooy, you know all around 788 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: the network. Mark, how are you on this fine Crullian 789 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: Blue Sky evening. 790 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 10: I am doing well. Unlike Shandy Carter, I'll be willing 791 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 10: to answer any questions about Kaitlin Carr. 792 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: Well, we could go down that road, I suppose, but 793 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm modeldly curious. Ever, so quickly, let's touch on the finals. 794 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: Boston Dallas. I think there's more pressure on Boston therean 795 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: there is on Dallas. But what is the angle in 796 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: this series, if perhaps none of us are. 797 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 10: Seen, I think we're all seeing every angle. It's just 798 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,879 Speaker 10: a matter of how we rank it. Because I think 799 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 10: to your point, there is more pressure on Boston to 800 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 10: win because they've been in six Eastern Conference finals in 801 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 10: the last eight years, and you wonder will this finally 802 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 10: be the time that they win the ultimate prize. But 803 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 10: I also don't think that if they lose then all 804 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 10: of a sudden they blow up the roster, because they 805 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 10: still have a good team and their teams in their prime. 806 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 10: I think the other interesting part is we're also seeing 807 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 10: the rise of Luka Doncocho becoming not just a star player, 808 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 10: but a generational star player. The redemption to Kyrie Irving, 809 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 10: the question about whether Chrissop Worzingis will come back in 810 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 10: this series at all, and if he does, what will 811 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 10: look like. So there's a lot of things unpacked that 812 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 10: I think will make this series shortly go six or 813 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 10: seven games. 814 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: So let me come in from left field here, because 815 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 1: you got thirty five year old Joe Missoula looking for 816 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: his first title, and when your old Jason Kidd looking 817 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: for his first title. If there's any coaching edge I 818 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 1: would give it to Jason Kidd. Am I wrong? 819 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 10: Well, yeah, I would give it to Jason Kidd too, 820 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 10: because you know, he is a former point guard that 821 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 10: is in the top five and ald time assists. He 822 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 10: is kind of good. He's a bright mind. But I 823 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 10: think that the parallel that both Jason Kidd and Joe 824 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 10: Mizzoola have is, you know, they've tried to show that 825 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 10: they've overcome their early coaching hecups. Now. Jason Kidd has 826 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 10: had more experience, having stops in Brooklyn and Milwaukee, and 827 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 10: then when he was an assistant coach of the Lakers 828 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 10: under Frank Vogel, that was his time to hit the 829 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 10: reset button and learn before taking on that Dallas job. 830 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 10: But even though he's had longevity, he's had some rights 831 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 10: of passage moments. Joe Mizoola kind of different situation where 832 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 10: he had a lot of assistant coaching experience and all 833 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 10: of a sudden he had a takeover last year because 834 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 10: of just the unforeseen circumstances with Emyodoka's departure. But I 835 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 10: think this season he showed he has a better pulse 836 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 10: of the team, knows how to manage in game situations. 837 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 10: So yeah, they both have something to prove, but I 838 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 10: would give Jason Kid the edge because he has a 839 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 10: little bit of a better player former resume. 840 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: So real quickly mark the two teams played in January 841 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: and March. Boston won both the second time by twenty 842 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: eight I don't know that that matters at all. Now 843 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 1: Dallas seems to be like an entirely different team. Your 844 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: thoughts in terms of can you glean anything from those 845 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: regular season games? 846 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 10: Now, I'm with you. The regular season doesn't mean anything 847 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 10: for two reasons. One, chrisos Borzingis is playing, then here 848 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 10: there's optimism he's your return in the series. But we 849 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 10: don't know when. I mean. Joe Mizzoola was saying that 850 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 10: he got some shots up, he's been doing some drill work. 851 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,879 Speaker 10: What he didn't say was if he did a full 852 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 10: contact practice. And he hasn't played since April twenty ninth, 853 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 10: so I suspect that he would need to get that 854 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 10: contact before Game one on Thursday. So that's number one. 855 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 10: Number two to your point, the Mavericks are a completely 856 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 10: different team. Yes, they have Luca Doctor Chirkyrie River and 857 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 10: they're the main players, but they their identity has changed 858 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:31,280 Speaker 10: with getting PJ. Washington and Daniel Gafford and Derreck Leiley 859 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 10: the second he's with the team this whole time, his 860 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 10: rookie year. But I think because of those other additions, 861 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 10: his game defensively has rosen to another level as well. 862 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: All Right, So last week I talked about the Pistons 863 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: new GM Trajan Langdon and some roamings. I heard they 864 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,280 Speaker 1: mighty Monty Williams sixty million dollar contract all of a sudden, 865 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 1: Now Troy Weaver is out is general manager of the Pistons, 866 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: and he'd been there a bit of time since Troy 867 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: Weaver hired Monty Williams. Does that at potential fuel to 868 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: the fire that they may part ways with Monty Williams. 869 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about that? 870 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,240 Speaker 10: It just seems the writings on the law here, because 871 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 10: when there's a new front office change, they usually want 872 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 10: to get their own guy, and it doesn't help that 873 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,919 Speaker 10: the Pistons have been a mess. So I think it's 874 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 10: just really a matter of wind and maybe the new 875 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 10: the new front office gives money Williams time, you know, 876 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 10: if they change the roster a little bit. But I 877 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 10: don't think they'll have a tight lead or a short 878 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 10: or a long leash by any stretch, but they might 879 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 10: just want to do it right away and get everything 880 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 10: over with here. Because again, professional sports, when you bring 881 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 10: a new front office executive, sometimes it's right away, or 882 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 10: sometimes they just give them a season. Inevitably they make 883 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 10: the changes that they want to make. 884 00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 1: Well, Troy Weaver has a or check that Trajing. It's 885 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good track record. I thought he did a 886 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,720 Speaker 1: really good job in New Orleans. 887 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, they hired him for a reason. But 888 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 10: the problem is there's just a lot of work that 889 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 10: they have to do. They have a young roster, they're 890 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 10: all talented, but they don't play well as a team 891 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 10: and they don't lead really to winning basketball. So, you know, 892 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 10: even if there's an executive that has a pretty good resume, 893 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 10: if you're inheriting a mess, you have to take a 894 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 10: lot of time to clean up that mess. 895 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to hold my nose and do it. 896 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: We the lead. We got to get to the Lakers. 897 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 1: We got to get to Brownie James, we got to 898 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 1: get to lebron we got to get to JJ Reddick. 899 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,800 Speaker 1: We're now, like you know, day twenty four of milking 900 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: this thing. It feels to me like the writing is 901 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: on the wall that they're going to hire JJ Redick, 902 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: which I felt for three weeks. Why would Reddick take 903 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 1: the job if Lebron is considering leaving. Although I have 904 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: some pretty good sources that say, at least in CYA situation, 905 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: Lebron is going to opt out and might likely hang 906 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: on and get a three year deal with the Lakers, 907 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: or you can't completely rule out. It's not a zero 908 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 1: that he ends up somewhere else. Can you sort this 909 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: mess out for us? 910 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of it is all just fake hustle 911 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:21,439 Speaker 10: and just using social media to throw smoke screens. Here's 912 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 10: what's going to happen Lebron James. Yes, he'll be a 913 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 10: free agent. As Rich Paul said, he's going to opt 914 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 10: out just so he can sign a deal with the Lakers. 915 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 10: The Lakers, in fairness, they interviewed James Barrogo earlier this week. 916 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 10: They're going to still take their time. It's probably going 917 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 10: to happen after the NBA Finals, before the NBA Draft. 918 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 10: But if it happens longer than that, don't be surprised. 919 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 10: But I think it's going to be after the NBA Draft. 920 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 10: But the bottom line is they say they're doing their 921 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 10: due diligence. But everyone around the league thinks that they're 922 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 10: doing their due diligence of finding the right people around 923 00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 10: JJ Reddick to make sure that he can succeed reasonably possible. 924 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 10: Bronnie James, I think the Laker he's gonna wind up 925 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 10: on the Lakers. I think it's just going to be 926 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 10: by happenstance. The Lakers had the fifty fifth pick, Bronni's 927 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 10: projected to be a second round pick. I don't think 928 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 10: the Lakers are going to buy it by picks to 929 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 10: move up further in the draft. I also don't think 930 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 10: that there's teams that are going to try to draft 931 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 10: Bronny just with the hope that this sets the hook 932 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 10: for lebron James to come on a very steep discount. 933 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 10: But you know what, it's the NBA, it's the James family. 934 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 10: I guess anything can happen, but I think the most 935 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 10: tantalizing stories won't happen because you know it's just won't 936 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 10: to make any sense. 937 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: Let me run this by you, and you're right. The 938 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: Lakers do draft fifty fifth. I believe they acquired that 939 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,720 Speaker 1: draft choice via the Clippers. Why don't you sign Bronnie 940 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: James as an amateur free agent. Why waste a draft pick? 941 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm a guy. You averaged four points at USC or 942 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: eight and twelve. I mean, are we really doing this? 943 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 1: Are we really doing this? Yeah? 944 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 10: I mean what's the fifty fifth pick though, I mean 945 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 10: that's that's five picks away before you're undrafted. So I 946 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 10: think that's what it is. I think your commentary would 947 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 10: be apt if we're talking about, Yeah, the Lakers brought 948 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 10: picks for early in the second round so they wouldn't 949 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 10: miss on Bronnie. That's where I'm thinking, what's the point 950 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 10: of this? And I think the other thing is that 951 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 10: I don't think that it's in Brownie's best interest or 952 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 10: Lebron's best interest for this to even happen. Yes, like 953 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 10: it's going to impact them. It's a cool father son moment, 954 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 10: but after you get away from that, it just seems 955 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 10: to lead to more problems because there's always going to 956 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 10: be the dynamic of your dad in the locker room, 957 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 10: your Sunday in the locker room, and how does that 958 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 10: play out with the rest of the team, and well, 959 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 10: I think they'll all be supportive to a man, it 960 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 10: just makes for a real awkward dynamic. And then I 961 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 10: think that from the other end is that this doesn't 962 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 10: allow Browne to kind of grow into his own without 963 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 10: you know, his father's looming shadow, you know, passing a 964 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 10: pretty heavy presence around him. So I hope for his 965 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 10: sake that he's not on the team. But again, like 966 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 10: doesn't involve me. I'm just trying to talk about this objectively. 967 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 1: Try with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night Bonnie 968 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: Frattle Show, our Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru. Okay, you 969 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 1: bring up a great point about what's the fifty fifth 970 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: pick fair? Here's the reason I cotched it that way. 971 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 1: You get tired of reading mock draft for for instance, 972 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 1: one mock draft that that was picks last and fifty eight. 973 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 1: I think I'm right about that. They're projected to potentially 974 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 1: pick a key down a bailey who I saw play 975 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: named Jalen Bridges. He's six ' seven, he can jump 976 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: out of the gym, he shot about forty three percent 977 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: from three point land, all kinds of link, all kinds 978 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: of athleticism. He's ten times better than Bronni is and 979 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 1: he'd be drafted after Bronnie. So there are players out 980 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 1: there if you had the same player with the same 981 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: scotting report and his name was Eddie Gazinski. We're not 982 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 1: talking about the guy, So we'll see what happens. We 983 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 1: still got, you know, twenty five more days before we 984 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: get to that point, and it's going to be a 985 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,160 Speaker 1: storyline and among itself. But I give it no credence 986 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: that Lebron's going to the Suns. 987 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 10: Do you agree, Mark, Yeah, he's not going to the Suns. 988 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 10: I actually talked with another executive that you know, was 989 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,760 Speaker 10: in charge of player personnel as far as evaluating draft 990 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 10: prospects from another team, and that person did not buy 991 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 10: the notion that any team, including the Suns, would be 992 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 10: selecting Bronni just for the hopes to get Lebron. I 993 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 10: think the other point that you made it's a fair 994 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 10: one because that's same executive he was saying, Hey, look 995 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 10: like Brawny interviewed really well. You know, with different teams. 996 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 10: There is a lot of praise that he deserves for 997 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 10: overcoming the cardiac arrest. I mean, you know, most importantly 998 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 10: that he survived, but as far as the basketball end 999 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 10: of it, that he was able to recover enough to 1000 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 10: actually play games this year. But the point that that 1001 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 10: executive made was that even though he improved on defense 1002 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 10: and shooting, he's still not considered lead. He's just considered okay. 1003 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 10: And that person's point was he doesn't have like a 1004 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 10: defining calling card of a skill set that he can 1005 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 10: sell himself to a team on. All it is is 1006 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,760 Speaker 10: he's an okay player and a bunch of little things, 1007 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 10: but doesn't do anything exceptionally well. And that's, you know, 1008 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 10: in fairness what you said, that's hard for a team 1009 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 10: to draft someone when they don't at least have one 1010 00:53:58,440 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 10: distinguishable skill. 1011 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I used to see the same thing in baseball. 1012 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,840 Speaker 1: You look for that one tool that makes the scout 1013 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: fall in love with you, and I don't see it. 1014 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: Two quick things. The Cleveland Cavaliers, they're still looking for 1015 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,360 Speaker 1: a coach. And let's not forget they managed the Eastern 1016 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 1: Conference semifinals. But I understand that a couple of names 1017 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 1: are emerging. The Knicks are given permission to allow Johnny 1018 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,840 Speaker 1: Bryant to interview, and Chris Quinn at Miami, who has 1019 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: been with Spolster like ten years. A couple of good 1020 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: names here. Who does Cleveland end up with? 1021 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1022 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,760 Speaker 10: Another name to throw in as Kenny Atkinson, the Golden 1023 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:40,839 Speaker 10: Writers assistant coach. Right, he has had already previous head 1024 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 10: coaching experience with Brooklyn. You know, he's considered a bright 1025 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 10: basketball mind, really good with player development. What's interesting is 1026 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,399 Speaker 10: he interviewed for the Charlotte job that then wound up 1027 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 10: having second thoughts and Stan Putt. But I think what's 1028 00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 10: interesting is Brooklyn wound up parting ways with him, coincide 1029 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 10: with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving going on board. I 1030 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,399 Speaker 10: think that there's still this perception that, hey, he's good 1031 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 10: with rebuilding a team, but he hasn't had experience coaching 1032 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,879 Speaker 10: a playoff caliber team. But I think when you look 1033 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 10: at his chops, as far as his ex's and o's, 1034 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 10: the fact that he is with the Warriors, that I 1035 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 10: don't buy that narrative. So I would view him as 1036 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 10: the favorite. But to what you mentioned with Chris Quinn 1037 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 10: and Johnny Bryants are pretty two pretty good assistants as well. 1038 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: Why aren't they talking to James Brago? 1039 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 10: I think they have. I think that they've they've tried 1040 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,840 Speaker 10: to talk to him, but you know, Barrego has also 1041 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 10: talked to the Lakers. I think that's going to be 1042 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 10: an interesting conversation about what is James Barrego prioritized says 1043 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 10: you want to be a head coach with a good 1044 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 10: team like Cleveland, but or is he okay with being 1045 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 10: assistant and with the Lakers now? In fairness, he technically 1046 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,800 Speaker 10: still has a shot as a head coach with the Lakers. 1047 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 10: But I think the Lakers are just trying to find 1048 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 10: the right combination of which candidates would be flexible with 1049 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 10: either role. And I think the kind of the delicate 1050 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 10: part of this is that say he or any other 1051 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 10: veteran voice is on JJ Reddick's staff, are they accepting 1052 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 10: that role with the understanding that they don't want to 1053 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 10: try to be a head coach and replace JJ Reddick. 1054 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 10: A lot of times that can create awkward dynamics as 1055 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 10: far as a head coach and wondering what his assistant 1056 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 10: coach's motivation is. But yeah, James Frego's definitely been in 1057 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 10: the mix as well. 1058 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 1: Last thing, and you know, I always have to come 1059 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: out of left field with something. ATIU syncratic Dennis shrewder 1060 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 1: erstwhile Laker guard who once famously turned down eighty six 1061 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: million so we could sign for eight million made his 1062 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,359 Speaker 1: soccer debut, is professional soccer debut in Germany and they 1063 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 1: lost five to one, but he played sixty three minutes. 1064 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: He thoughts on Dennis Schreuder is a soccer career. 1065 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 10: Well, I hate to tell you this. I did not 1066 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 10: see the game, but it's not surprising that he's doing this. 1067 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 10: I mean he's someone that is, you know, just really 1068 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 10: savvy as far as his vision, and he's very competitive. 1069 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 10: I know, you know, obviously in Europe and in Germany, 1070 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 10: they love football. So yeah, if he wants to do that, 1071 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,439 Speaker 10: go for it. But yeah, I think that his main 1072 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 10: job is basketball. 1073 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, he's busy leading those Brooklyn nets to you know, 1074 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 1: non playoffs. But I actually like Dennis Druel. He's a 1075 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: pretty good player. 1076 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, he's a pretty good player. Yeah. I mean he's 1077 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 10: an aggressive guy, great defender, can hit shots. I know 1078 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,400 Speaker 10: that he you know, has taken a lot of l's 1079 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 10: for that contract to the way he handled the first time. 1080 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 10: But I think in fairness, he was given certain advice 1081 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 10: and he also was under the impression that things would 1082 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 10: work out much different way than what actually transpired. 1083 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Mark, you're two nights a guy he'd hitting advice, 1084 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 1: but those agents work for him. You don't turn down 1085 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 1: eighty six million if your name rhymes with Dennis Shruter. 1086 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: But story for a different man. You know me, Mark, 1087 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 1: I always got to have a get the red asse. 1088 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 1: At some point during our interview, Mark he gets some rest. 1089 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: I know it's been a long busy day for you, 1090 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 1: my friend, and we'll look forward to having you on 1091 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 1: next Saturday. 1092 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 10: I appreciate it has always been thanks. 1093 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 1: That's Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night here on 1094 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

I'm Bernie Frederwick Comedy 1100 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: Live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tirack dot 1101 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 1: com studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening to 1102 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. How we're 1103 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come 1104 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 1: to live from me Tyrak dot com Studios. Here in 1105 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 1: Las Vegas taking to three am Pacific, six am Easter. Man, 1106 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 1: We're just getting started, all right. You know, as a 1107 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: society we've been infatuated with gladiator sports since the beginning 1108 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 1: of time. So for those folks who want to make 1109 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: fun of the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight, miss me 1110 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: on that one, because I'm actually looking forward to it. 1111 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:43,080 Speaker 1: The boxing match, though, between the former heavyweight champion Mike 1112 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 1: Tyson and Jake Paul, has been postponed from its original 1113 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: July twentieth date. Why the news comes just a few 1114 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: days after Mike Tyson was reported to have suffered a 1115 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: medical scare on a plane. He had apparently had an 1116 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: ulcer flare up, and although twice and tweeted that he 1117 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 1: was one hundred percent in the aftermath, doctors advised him 1118 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: in the next few weeks to reduce his training to 1119 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 1: minimal light training. When that's not how Tyson rolls. He's 1120 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 1: not gonna he's not gonna broker this fight until he 1121 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: trains the way he knows how to train his former 1122 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: world champion. So I think the fight will be backed up, 1123 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: probably maybe ninety days, I'm guessing, but I'm told by 1124 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,640 Speaker 1: people I trust next Friday, June seventh. By next Friday 1125 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: they will announce the new date. And again, I'm gonna 1126 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 1: guess it's backed up about ninety days. We'll see. That's 1127 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 1: a guess, but I one hundred percent I believe this 1128 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 1: fight's going on. There was some speculation and maybe they 1129 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: just call the fight off. Nope, too much money involved. 1130 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 1: Both Tyson and Paul have agreed to push back to fight. 1131 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna be streamed on Netflix. It's all set to 1132 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: be played fought at Jerry's World at at and T 1133 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Stadium in Arlington, and anybody who's previously purchased tickets it's 1134 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: going to be honored for the new date. And here's 1135 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: the thing that caught my eye the comments from both boxers. 1136 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,160 Speaker 1: First Mike Tyson. He said quote, I want to thank 1137 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 1: my fans around the world for their support and understanding 1138 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 1: during this time. Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flare up, 1139 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,720 Speaker 1: I've been advised by my doctor to lighten my training 1140 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: for a few weeks to rest recover. My body's in 1141 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 1: better overall shape than it has been since the nineties. 1142 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 1: I'll be back to my full training schedule soon. By 1143 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,800 Speaker 1: the way, Jake Paul This is the part that caught 1144 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 1: my eye. This may have bought you some time, but 1145 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,439 Speaker 1: in the end you'll still be knocked out and out 1146 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 1: of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone's patience. I can't 1147 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 1: wait to deliver an unforgettable performance end of this year. 1148 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 1: Paul Jake Paul his quote never lost for words quote. 1149 01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 1: I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has 1150 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 1: no excuses come fight night. My fans know I don't 1151 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: want to face iron Mike and anything but his best. 1152 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,600 Speaker 1: But let there be no mistake. When he steps into 1153 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 1: the ring with me, I will be ready to claim 1154 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: my w with a sensational finish. Paul versus Tyson anyway, 1155 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: slice it will be one for the ages. I promised 1156 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: to bring my best for this once in a lifetime matchup. 1157 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 1: Tell me you're not mildly curious as to how that 1158 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,880 Speaker 1: works out. Whenever they get in the ring, it'll be 1159 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 1: the largest age gap, by the way, in a professional 1160 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 1: fight in boxing history. Jake Paul's twenty seven Mike Tyson 1161 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: turns fifty eight in June, thirty one year age gap. 1162 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: I truly believe that this fight will go on too 1163 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 1: much money. Both guys want it, and it ain't gonna 1164 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 1: fade off into the sets at buying something completely unforeseen 1165 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: that I can't see. For the record, though, Tyson Mike 1166 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Tyson has not competed in a professional boun since twenty 1167 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 1: oh five, hasn't won one since twenty oh three. Remember 1168 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 1: he did fight the great Roy Jones Junior to a 1169 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 1: draw on the twenty twenty exhibition. Tyson in his career 1170 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 1: fifty and six, forty four wins by knockouts. Yeah, I'm 1171 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 1: gonna be watching, not to dot my mind. I'm gonna 1172 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: be watching. Not so sure if I'll be watching. Hard 1173 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Knocks lost its luster to me just a little bit. 1174 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,680 Speaker 1: Now we know who's gonna be on Hard Knocks. We'll 1175 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 1: talk about that coming up, but first we go back 1176 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: to our guy, the chef, Kevin Wired. 1177 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 7: With the latest NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals 1178 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 7: saw the Florida Panthers advance to the Stanley Cup Final, 1179 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 7: taking down the New York Rangers two to one to 1180 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 7: win that best of seven series four games to two, 1181 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 7: so advance to the final where they await the winner 1182 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 7: of the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers. Major League Baseball, 1183 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 7: Yoshi Nobu Yamamoto six six innings, seven strikeouts in a run. 1184 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 7: I get it right eventually, as you. 1185 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 1: Got it right. 1186 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,040 Speaker 7: I just like hearing a dude, there we go, as 1187 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,479 Speaker 7: he does help the Dodgers win it against four to one. 1188 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 7: After the Rockies did win against the Dodgers.

Phillies 1191 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 7: over the Saint Louis Cardinals six to one, but Rangers 1192 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 7: Suarez had to leave the game after he was hit 1193 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 7: by a line drive in his hands, so we'll see 1194 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 7: what his status is going forward. French Open Novak Djokovic 1195 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 7: advancing as he wins his third round set in five 1196 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 7: sets against Lorenzo Muzetti.

All right, Hard Knox is back. I'm not 1220 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 1: sure if some of the bloom is off the rows, 1221 01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 1: but it's still kind of fun to watch. And this 1222 01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: year's entry, Yes, ladies and gentlemen, your Chicago Bears. They 1223 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 1: are the Hard Knocks team for the twenty twenty four 1224 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: NFL Training Camp version, which means, well, you know what 1225 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 1: that means. They'll get an inside look at Kayleb Williams's 1226 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 1: rookie season. NFL Films announced this selection last Thursday, and 1227 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: you'll have to wait till August sixth for the first episode. 1228 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 1: But it'll be the first time the Bears have been 1229 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,400 Speaker 1: featured on Hard Knocks since two thousand and one. Yeah, 1230 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 1: the Bears were see. Here's the thing, though, we go 1231 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 1: over this every year. The Bears were one of three 1232 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 1: teams that could be picked to be on the show. 1233 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 1: There were only three teams are eligible. The other two 1234 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 1: were the Denver Broncos. Do you really want to see them? No, 1235 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: not really, although Sean Payton might be worth a price 1236 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: of admission, but you know, nicely, don I allow myself 1237 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 1: to introduce myself New Orleans Saints where the other possible entering. 1238 01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 1: Do you really want to see darrenk Yeah? I don't 1239 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: think so. Here's the way it works. Under previous NFL rules, 1240 01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 1: teams could be selected to do the show if one 1241 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,919 Speaker 1: they didn't have a first year head coach, two did 1242 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. The past two seasons or three. They 1243 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,440 Speaker 1: hadn't done the show in the past ten years. However, 1244 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna change those rules because the NFL 1245 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: voters are checked out. The NFL owners voted in March 1246 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: to remove the playoff requirement and shorten the waiting period 1247 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 1: to eight years. And you can also make teams ineligible 1248 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 1: if they were doing the in season version, which I've 1249 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: yet to watch much of, So clearly the Bears qualified 1250 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,919 Speaker 1: for that right. They don't have a first year head coach. 1251 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Matti Eaglesfrusz was not a first year head coach. The 1252 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,439 Speaker 1: Bears did not make the playoffs in the past two years, 1253 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: and they haven't done the show since twenty one. Now, 1254 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: what's interesting is their chairman, their team chairman, George McCaskey 1255 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: flatly set I don't want to do this. He said 1256 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it March. But h Matt 1257 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Eberfluss when told that, well, guess what you're doing it, 1258 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: he just basically said, well, we're excited to continue the 1259 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 1: process of building for the season. Just sounds like he's 1260 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,400 Speaker 1: running for a political office or some a damn thing. Now. 1261 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 1: One of the things about the Hard Hard Knocks brand 1262 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: as it were the Hard Knocks franchises it were. I 1263 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 1: think it's watered down for this reason. There are three 1264 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 1: versions of Hard Knocks this year. In addition to the 1265 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 1: traditional Hard Knocks, which is the training camp version, which 1266 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 1: is the one that made the the show famous, there's 1267 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 1: two additional versions of the show. The New York Giants 1268 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,400 Speaker 1: were announced earlier this month. There'll be the subject of 1269 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: the off season version of the show, and that'll give 1270 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,640 Speaker 1: sort of an inside look at the team's approach to 1271 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 1: the scouting combine and free agency in the draft that's 1272 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 1: actually going to premiere July second. They've never done that before. 1273 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 1: Sounds like a real hoot. I don't know. There'll be 1274 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,760 Speaker 1: a return of the in season version of the show, 1275 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 1: which covered the Miami Dolphins last season, So rather than 1276 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 1: one team being on the N Season show this season, 1277 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 1: four teams will be selected. This year's N Season version 1278 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: is gonna cover an entire division. And they're really milking this, 1279 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 1: aren't they. But frankly, I think they came up with 1280 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 1: a pretty good choice with the Bears. Think about it. Yeah, 1281 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,600 Speaker 1: they had to qualify because they've been stinky for a 1282 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,959 Speaker 1: long time. The Bears are one of the more popular 1283 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 1: iconic franchises in the NFL. That's famous. Let's face it, 1284 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,760 Speaker 1: they're one of the originals. You got Caleb Williams, the 1285 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft, 1286 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 1: who's already well known because he won the Heisman Trophy 1287 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,560 Speaker 1: and he played at two major schools of USC and Oklahoma. 1288 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,360 Speaker 1: You've got a coach in Matt Eberflus who's very much 1289 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,799 Speaker 1: on the hot seat, so let's see how he conducts 1290 01:09:54,800 --> 01:10:03,720 Speaker 1: his business. You've also got a pretty interesting wide receiver room. 1291 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 1: You've got DJ Moore, he's the one thousand yard receiver 1292 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,719 Speaker 1: who's returning, and you've got a veteran in Keenan Allen. 1293 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:12,679 Speaker 1: But you also got the number nine pick, Roma Donze 1294 01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:19,720 Speaker 1: out of University of Washington. It will also be I 1295 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 1: think interesting to see if there's any mention of the 1296 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: erstwhile justin fields who they had such high hopes in. 1297 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,680 Speaker 1: But let's face it, come on ten and twenty eight 1298 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: is a starter ranked lower than thirty fourth and sixth 1299 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 1: offensive categories QBR passing yards per game, completion percentage through 1300 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: forty touchdowns, thirty interceptions. Look all of his highlights were 1301 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 1: running plays. I like justin fields. He's not a major 1302 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:49,640 Speaker 1: league quarterback. His major issues with accuracy, major issues with recognition. 1303 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna get that to that coming up, his situation 1304 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson as they take over for the Steelers. 1305 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,559 Speaker 1: But the Bears are a team trying to return to 1306 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 1: the playoff for the first time in four seasons. So 1307 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of hyper around the Bears. Am I 1308 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 1: buying it? Not necessarily? Yeah, nicely done. But whether or 1309 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 1: not the Bears are good this year, or they disappoint 1310 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 1: this year, or they are overachievers or they flop, They're 1311 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. They're gonna be interesting because it's gonna 1312 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,600 Speaker 1: be one or the other. They're either gonna turn this 1313 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: thing around or it's gonna be another disaster and they 1314 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 1: may lose their coach. It's right either way again, we're 1315 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,080 Speaker 1: gonna be watching. You got the number one pick a 1316 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 1: coach in the hot seat? Roma doonsay the Bears are 1317 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,760 Speaker 1: the Bears? The Bears, I mean they're They're only a 1318 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 1: legitimately popular NFL franchise. I don't think anybody can really 1319 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,719 Speaker 1: dispute that, even though they have been good for a while. 1320 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: I just mentioned Justin Fields. Well, step aside, Justin Fields, 1321 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,880 Speaker 1: So Wilson wants your job. I think there's this incredibly 1322 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: false narrative traveling around NFL circles. Do I believe that 1323 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is actually really going to compete for the 1324 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,479 Speaker 1: starting job with Russell Wilson. Not No, hell no, no. 1325 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that coming up and what 1326 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:22,200 Speaker 1: the dynamic is is going on in Pittsburgh. By the way, 1327 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 1: shortly after the show, our podcast will be going up. 1328 01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,960 Speaker 1: Believe Brianna Muro will be putting that up for us tonight. 1329 01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 1: If you've missed any of today's show, tonight's show, excuse me, 1330 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: it's today somewhere It's Big World.

You know, Russell 1336 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Wilson has been maligned and then chewed up and spit out. 1337 01:12:58,120 --> 01:12:59,880 Speaker 1: I think he's got something left in the tank and 1338 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 1: I think he's going to a situation in the Pittsburgh 1339 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 1: which suits him well. Under Mike Tomlin. Where they're run heavy, 1340 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 1: they're not going to ask him to do a lot. 1341 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,599 Speaker 1: I'm one of the few, but I think Russell Wilson's 1342 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 1: going to have a good year in Pittsburgh's going to 1343 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,800 Speaker 1: return to the playoffs. There's a wrinkle here, though. There's 1344 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 1: a couple storylines, and somebody thinks this could even turn 1345 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: into an ugly mess. I am not so sure. Let 1346 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:26,439 Speaker 1: me give you my thoughts ever so quickly about Russell Wilson, 1347 01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 1: Justin Fields and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm Bernie Fradderwick Company 1348 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 1: liar from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyreck dot 1349 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 1: Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. You're listening to 1350 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,439 Speaker 1: the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right 1351 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Company 1352 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:45,560 Speaker 1: liar for me tyrack dot Com Studios. Here in Las Vegas. 1353 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: We are now into June, which means July is up next. 1354 01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,920 Speaker 1: Before you know it, NFL teams will be in camp 1355 01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:55,040 Speaker 1: and one of these storylines around the NFL and people 1356 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:59,760 Speaker 1: will follow pretty fervently this year is Russell Wilson and 1357 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,719 Speaker 1: his his new home in Pittsburgh. Now, I believe Russell 1358 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,680 Speaker 1: Wilson is the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but 1359 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: head coach Mike Tomlin has actually said that Justin Fields 1360 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,680 Speaker 1: will have a chance to compete. Do we really believe that? 1361 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: Is Coach Tomlin just being congenial. There's a gentleman in 1362 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,680 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in ninety three to seven, the fan by the 1363 01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 1: name of Mark COBOLEI had some pretty stern comments the 1364 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,720 Speaker 1: other day. I want to give him credit because I 1365 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: really appreciate his candor and honesty. You know, nobody can 1366 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,519 Speaker 1: seem to stop talking about Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. 1367 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: Neither of them has had a winning record in the 1368 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:41,160 Speaker 1: past three years. But if the Steelers have designs on 1369 01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 1: getting back to the playoffs this year, they're gonna have 1370 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,799 Speaker 1: to have much better production than they had a quarterback 1371 01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:53,040 Speaker 1: last year with Kenny Pickett and the Cripkicker five. Mark 1372 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 1: Coboley believes that Wilson's demand and Fields will back it up, 1373 01:14:58,200 --> 01:14:59,920 Speaker 1: and he gave some very good reasons. He brought me 1374 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,840 Speaker 1: when asked if you thought Wilson or checked that, and 1375 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: when asked if you thought Justin Fields had a chance 1376 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 1: of beating out Russell Wilson to be the starter quote. 1377 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,360 Speaker 1: He said, zero, I don't think there's enough time for that. 1378 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 1: You stressed, the Steelers are going to be busy enough 1379 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,640 Speaker 1: getting Wilson up and running. They don't have time for 1380 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 1: a serious competition, particularly with everything beyond the field, and 1381 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 1: he went on to say. Caboli went on to say, 1382 01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 1: it's not you know, it's not just being quarterback. You 1383 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 1: gotta be a leader. You got to take the lineman 1384 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,200 Speaker 1: out to dinner. You got to develop that camaraderie. The 1385 01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 1: leaders have not had a check that. The Steelers have 1386 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,400 Speaker 1: not had a leader of that ilk in a while. 1387 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:45,680 Speaker 1: And it's you know, you really kind of got to 1388 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,160 Speaker 1: go into camp knowing who your quarterback's going to be 1389 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: because this CBA has more and more limits on what 1390 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: teams can do during training camp. You're done the three 1391 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 1: preseason games. You can't afford to be wrong. You got 1392 01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 1: to fix this. You gotta make it. But here's the deal. 1393 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,839 Speaker 1: Caboli doesn't see that choosing Russell Wilson overfields is a mistake. 1394 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,960 Speaker 1: And I have one million percent agree. You could pick 1395 01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,720 Speaker 1: on Russell Wilson all you want. He had a bad 1396 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,720 Speaker 1: situation in Denver and it didn't in well in Seattle. 1397 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: But Wilson just needs to get back to a fact 1398 01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,439 Speaker 1: simile to where he was. Justin Fields has not shown 1399 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: anything to be in thirty eight starts. And he's a 1400 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 1: major league quarterback. He's a world class athlete. I'll give 1401 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: him that. Probably throw a football through a brick wall. 1402 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,759 Speaker 1: He can run like the win. Seems like a good chap. 1403 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,960 Speaker 1: But quarterback's a position you play with your eyes, you 1404 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: receive the ball, you make mental snapshots, and you execute. 1405 01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,360 Speaker 1: He's not accurate. He has major, major issues of recognition 1406 01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 1: that ain't getting fixed anytime soon. Cobole went on to say, quote, 1407 01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:49,080 Speaker 1: watching Justin Fields these two weeks, sometimes he looks like 1408 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Sometimes he looks like Mark Malone. I think 1409 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:57,719 Speaker 1: he was being nice lest you forget. And I'm pretty 1410 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: sure my buddy Shay Mognguard knows Mark Maloney's because Mark 1411 01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 1: Malone went to Arizona State. He was drafted in the 1412 01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 1: first round of nineteen eighty. His career record was twenty 1413 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,920 Speaker 1: three to thirty. He threw sixty touchdowns and had eighty 1414 01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 1: one interceptions. That is what Caboli said, Justin Fields reminds 1415 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 1: him of what he doesn't remind him of being Roethlisberger, 1416 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,800 Speaker 1: and I'm guessing you only reminds him of Ben the 1417 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:23,679 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger when he takes off of the runs a little 1418 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 1: bit and tries to get positive yardage. I don't mean 1419 01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,240 Speaker 1: to be such a scrooge here, but the reality of 1420 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 1: it is, if Justin Fields was a major league quarterback, 1421 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 1: why would the Bears let him go for nothing? All right, look, 1422 01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: here's the deal. Even if Fields doesn't win the job 1423 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,600 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson during training camp, it feels like the 1424 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 1: Steelers want to try to find a way to use them. 1425 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,880 Speaker 1: And here's where it really gets saucy. There were rooms 1426 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 1: that the special teams coordinator might wanted to return punts. 1427 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,439 Speaker 1: And now people are wondering if Fields might become the 1428 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: next Slash. Remember Cornell Stewart. He got the nickname Slash 1429 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 1: because he was a dynamic quarterback that could kind of 1430 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:03,840 Speaker 1: do it all. He could run, he could throw, You 1431 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:08,680 Speaker 1: could use him in gimmick plays. I don't have a 1432 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: problem with that. Why not use Justin Field's athleticism hoping 1433 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,719 Speaker 1: gets hope that he's going to someday become this pocket 1434 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,920 Speaker 1: passer that cars have defenses. You got a better chance 1435 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 1: of Led Zeppelin re recording the Gilligan's Island theme song 1436 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: and sell the main copies. It's not gonna happen. Save 1437 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,120 Speaker 1: this sound bite. I'll eat the words if he turns 1438 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: it around. Name the quarterback that started twenty eight, ten 1439 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: and twenty eight. With the numbers that fields had and 1440 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 1: the war he ranked an ample, ample, ample opportunity to 1441 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,839 Speaker 1: do something, didn't do it. Okay, by the way, Cordell 1442 01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,559 Speaker 1: Stewart was the first quarterback to ever throw twenty touchdown 1443 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 1: passes and run for ten in the same season. But 1444 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,240 Speaker 1: Cordiell could actually throw the ball. He could throw the 1445 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:53,320 Speaker 1: ball of Colorado as well. Since then, running backs checked that. 1446 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,639 Speaker 1: Since then, quarterbacks who have through that are prolific. Runners 1447 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:01,879 Speaker 1: have become fairly common. But only Cam Newton, Kyler Murray 1448 01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,800 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen and Jalen Hurtz have equaled Stuart's feet, 1449 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 1: which he did back in nineteen ninety seven. And of 1450 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:13,240 Speaker 1: course Cordel Stewart was the starting quarterback. Running was just 1451 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: part of his game. The benefit of using fields in 1452 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,200 Speaker 1: any type I've expanded non quarterback role is going to 1453 01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,719 Speaker 1: be very limited. But this is one of those times 1454 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,680 Speaker 1: where you just assume Mike Tomlin's going to try to 1455 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,599 Speaker 1: figure something out. You got justin fields on the roster, 1456 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,320 Speaker 1: you might as well use them for something besides standing 1457 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:33,480 Speaker 1: on the sideline. But if the Steelers don't have successive quarterback, 1458 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: this could get messy. Speaking to get messy, how about 1459 01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 1: the NCAA and college players being paid? Keep it locked? 1460 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,760 Speaker 1: The Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Well, that's right, 1461 01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,320 Speaker 1: you heard the man.

Tyreq dot com the way tire buying 1467 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: should be. You can say that college sports, particularly college football, 1468 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 1: will never be the same again, is that a good 1469 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 1: thing or a bad thing? Let's chop it up, let's 1470 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,720 Speaker 1: unpack it, and a little bit later, I'm going to 1471 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,320 Speaker 1: bring in the crew and get their thoughts, because we 1472 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,400 Speaker 1: now have a situation where the commercialization of college sports 1473 01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 1: has never been more evident, and that it has appeared 1474 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: to be now in the last ten days. Ten days ago, 1475 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,479 Speaker 1: the NCAA and their power conferences, including the former PAC twelve, 1476 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 1: agreed to a settlement and what has been known now 1477 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 1: is the House versus NCAA case, which argues that players 1478 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:50,559 Speaker 1: in the prename image the Prename Likeness era deserve back 1479 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:55,720 Speaker 1: pay and that athletes should get a cut of broadcast 1480 01:20:56,120 --> 01:21:01,280 Speaker 1: television revenue. They settled for two points. It's seven billion 1481 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 1: dollars in damages. And if that sounds crazy, well, there 1482 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 1: was major pressure to settle because the NCAA and their 1483 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 1: conferences put their heads together and says, well, if we 1484 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,200 Speaker 1: lose this case, we could be on the hook for 1485 01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:19,080 Speaker 1: five billion in damages if we lose a trial. Now, 1486 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 1: the settlement isn't completely final. It doesn't address some other 1487 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,439 Speaker 1: major questions about college sports business models, like whether athletes 1488 01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:30,320 Speaker 1: should be considered employees. But if it does go through, 1489 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 1: the cash has to come from somewhere, which is why 1490 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 1: this week, for the first time, there are private equity 1491 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:42,200 Speaker 1: firms that have publicly expressed interest in funding athletic departments. Man, 1492 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: are we in changing times? Now I'm going to get 1493 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 1: to who filed the case, when and why, who's going 1494 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 1: to benefit and all kinds of other things like how's 1495 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 1: this going to work and how the school's going to 1496 01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:01,040 Speaker 1: pay blah blah blah. I need to share this story 1497 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 1: with you because this has been in the making, believe 1498 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 1: it or not, since the fifties. Back in nineteen fifty five, 1499 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,120 Speaker 1: September of fifty five, a gentleman by the name of 1500 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: Ray Denison who was playing college football for Fort Lewis 1501 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,920 Speaker 1: A and M. He died on the field after an 1502 01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:26,120 Speaker 1: on field collision that led to his death during a kickoff. Now, 1503 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 1: Denison was actually married with children at the time, and 1504 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 1: his widow was denied death benefits in what has become 1505 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 1: a foundational case for the NCAA because his involvement and 1506 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:47,200 Speaker 1: that case led to the term quote student athlete. At 1507 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:53,800 Speaker 1: that time, the term student athlete, I don't believe it 1508 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,559 Speaker 1: had ever been used. It's one of the very early 1509 01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:02,120 Speaker 1: uses for that term. Now, after Dennison died, his widow, 1510 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,600 Speaker 1: as I said, she filed a claim for death benefits. 1511 01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:13,160 Speaker 1: It's the Colorado Industrial Commission under what's called the Workmen's 1512 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:17,679 Speaker 1: Compensation Act, and the Commission approved the claim, but on appeal, 1513 01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 1: a District Court affirmed the decision. She's going to get 1514 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,960 Speaker 1: her money right. No. Fort Lewis, along with the State 1515 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 1: Compensation Insurance Fund, fought the case all the way to 1516 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:33,240 Speaker 1: the Colorado Supreme Court. Two years later, in nineteen fifty seven, 1517 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:37,160 Speaker 1: the court ruled that Dennison's wife, her name was Billy, 1518 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: was not entitled to death benefits. The reasoning by the 1519 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices in the state of Colorado quote, football 1520 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 1: players are student athletes, not college employees. Well, they are 1521 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 1: a bot to be employees because four years ago a 1522 01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: swimmer from Arizona State named grand House and a few 1523 01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 1: other plainiffs filed the case against the NCAA because their 1524 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,280 Speaker 1: goal was to force the nc to agree to a 1525 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:13,919 Speaker 1: revenue sharing model. But the case itself also asked schools 1526 01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,839 Speaker 1: to do it in kind of a roundabout way, because 1527 01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: where did the revenue come from? Well, a lot of 1528 01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 1: it is broadcast revenue, right, making this kind of a 1529 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 1: larger form of nil. Because let's face it, if your 1530 01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:31,080 Speaker 1: teams being broadcast on TV, their faces and their likenesses 1531 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,679 Speaker 1: they appeared during games, and so instead of a salary 1532 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 1: or direct compensation, make it revenue sharing. Who's going to 1533 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,559 Speaker 1: benefit Remember there's two point seven billion dollars in NIKIDI. 1534 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,440 Speaker 1: Now that's about twenty million per year I think per school, 1535 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 1: beginning as early as twenty twenty five. This is incredible. 1536 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 1: Who's going to benefit? Well, thousands of Division one athletes 1537 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,679 Speaker 1: in all sports could be eligible for damages. Last fall, 1538 01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,320 Speaker 1: the case was certified as a class action suit. There 1539 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,760 Speaker 1: were three different classes that extended to all D one 1540 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:07,799 Speaker 1: athletes who played any time between twenty sixteen and twenty 1541 01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:11,519 Speaker 1: twenty one. So that two point seven billion dollars lump 1542 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 1: sum is going to be split among them. Now, all 1543 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 1: the athletes at Power conferences would at some point in 1544 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:22,759 Speaker 1: the future also start earning a portion of this twenty 1545 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,720 Speaker 1: million dollar revenue share agreement. How's it going to work? 1546 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,839 Speaker 1: They don't know yet. As far as how you distribute 1547 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 1: the money to eligible players, you've got to determine that, 1548 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,880 Speaker 1: and that's where the lawyers are going to get rich again. 1549 01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:39,400 Speaker 1: But all Power conference athletes can expect to start earning 1550 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 1: some revenue shares as early as next year. But again, 1551 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,120 Speaker 1: here's where it gets sticky. How much do you give 1552 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:49,120 Speaker 1: the football players versus the baseball players versus the wrestler, 1553 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: and what do you do regarding title line and the 1554 01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 1: female athletes, their Division one athletes as well. So for 1555 01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:02,400 Speaker 1: the NCAA and Power conferences. They believe, Frank, that this 1556 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,440 Speaker 1: is the lesser two vers It's cheaper than the alternative. 1557 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,240 Speaker 1: You settle this house case at a discounted settlement instead 1558 01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 1: of a five billion dollars you know, damages if they 1559 01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:16,840 Speaker 1: have actually gone to trial, and the settlement also consolidates 1560 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,120 Speaker 1: two other cases. You could research all this Hubbard versus 1561 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,960 Speaker 1: the NCAA car versus the NCAA, which brought similar antitrust claims. 1562 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 1: And you, of course now also have detractors that don't think, 1563 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 1: let's put it this way. No, not everybody's in a 1564 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 1: one hundred percent agreement on this, Okay. The NCAA's portion 1565 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:39,720 Speaker 1: of the damage is a little over one billion is 1566 01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 1: going to come out of the revenue that would normally 1567 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 1: go to the rest of the D one schools, like 1568 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,839 Speaker 1: the non Power schools. They were not defendant in the lawsuit. 1569 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:52,080 Speaker 1: They've been exposing. They've been voicing, excuse me, their displeasure 1570 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks because the majority of 1571 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,760 Speaker 1: Nonpower conference administrators learned that most of the terms will 1572 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 1: with it only after it was leaked, so it's like 1573 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: they were kind of left out and Nicole. They weren't 1574 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,720 Speaker 1: really included the best of my knowledge. So how will 1575 01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:09,559 Speaker 1: the schools pay? Well, the power conferences in the schools 1576 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 1: will likely use a combination of existing revenue any any 1577 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,080 Speaker 1: other money they can raise. The top half of the 1578 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 1: schools won't need to move much money around. That'll cover 1579 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,640 Speaker 1: their twenty million per year in revenue sharing. But some 1580 01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:25,480 Speaker 1: of the less lucrative schools or less lucrative athletic departments, 1581 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 1: they're going to have to find ways for more creative 1582 01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:33,719 Speaker 1: revenue streams more. I mean, it can't just be booster 1583 01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:40,680 Speaker 1: donations right, enter private equity capital. That's where this gets crazy. 1584 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 1: On when I think it was Wednesday last week, Redbird 1585 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 1: Capital Partners and Weatherford Capital Partners announced the new investment 1586 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:54,480 Speaker 1: arm to inject capital into athletic departments, Yes, collegiate athletic solutions. 1587 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 1: They will offer between fifty million and two hundred million 1588 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,200 Speaker 1: to athletic departments, but they'll have to pay paid the 1589 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 1: money back only if they're in revenue. So why is 1590 01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 1: this happening? Why is this paradigm shift happening now? Well, 1591 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:13,919 Speaker 1: look these revenue firms. They look at these athletic departments 1592 01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:17,440 Speaker 1: and their need for near term capital and operational expertise. 1593 01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 1: They believe they can position themselves strategically and esherre in 1594 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 1: a brand new era of college football, which is clearly 1595 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 1: amateur athletics is out the window. They're essentially professional athletes 1596 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 1: now they're just playing for colleges. I don't know how 1597 01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,960 Speaker 1: you characterize it any other way. So overall, is this 1598 01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 1: a good deal for athletes? Sure seems like a win 1599 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,439 Speaker 1: to me. Get a slice of a twenty million dollars pien. 1600 01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:45,040 Speaker 1: It's better than a sharp stick in the iron. It's 1601 01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 1: better than nothing. But that doesn't mean it's the best 1602 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 1: deal athletes can receive. Okay, you're gonna hear people position 1603 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,840 Speaker 1: athletes might have tried to look for formal ways to 1604 01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 1: bargain for more money. After the lawyers work out the 1605 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:04,400 Speaker 1: deals and the details of the settlement, they'll present it 1606 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:08,679 Speaker 1: to you know, judges, and after the judges sign off 1607 01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,760 Speaker 1: and this moves forward. It sounds to me like these 1608 01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:16,360 Speaker 1: athletes are now employees, But according to the NCAA, it is. 1609 01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,280 Speaker 1: And see, this really gets convoluted the more you unpack it. 1610 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 1: The settlement doesn't address the biggest question looming over college sports, 1611 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:27,639 Speaker 1: whether college athletes should be deemed employees. There are two 1612 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 1: cases involving USC athletes and some at Dartmouth, respectively, who 1613 01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:35,760 Speaker 1: are going through the National Labor Relations Board. There are 1614 01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 1: other cases lettering too, and the truth of the matter 1615 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,639 Speaker 1: is it's too convoluted to dive into, and it's too 1616 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 1: early in the game, and all it's going to do 1617 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:49,280 Speaker 1: is confuse the matter even more so what's next. The 1618 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:52,200 Speaker 1: NCAA also has a plan to use the settlement to 1619 01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:57,879 Speaker 1: its advantage politically, because the NCAA has obviously been maligned 1620 01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,439 Speaker 1: over the years. It's the governing body of college sports, 1621 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: and they haven't exactly had great optics over the last 1622 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:08,800 Speaker 1: few years. If you've been following this, So buy the 1623 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 1: numbers to pay the players. Administrators have said they're going 1624 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,800 Speaker 1: to be looking for new revenue streams. However, here's how 1625 01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:20,400 Speaker 1: much money each conference generated and the average payout per 1626 01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:24,080 Speaker 1: school according to figures from USA Today a couple of 1627 01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:28,040 Speaker 1: weeks ago. The Big Ten they're the king. They have 1628 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:31,200 Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty million dollars in the kitty right now. 1629 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:34,759 Speaker 1: That's about sixty just about sixty one million per school. 1630 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,200 Speaker 1: That's a big number. The SEC they got about fifty 1631 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:42,679 Speaker 1: one million per school, the ACC forty four million per school, 1632 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:46,559 Speaker 1: the PAC twelve, the old PAC twelve thirty three million 1633 01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 1: per school. Remember these involve athletes who participated between twenty 1634 01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,200 Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty twenty one. This is back bay. Then 1635 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:57,160 Speaker 1: the Big twelve about forty four million. The Big ten 1636 01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:00,280 Speaker 1: and the SEC they're prime to continue separating themselves because 1637 01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:03,479 Speaker 1: they got the most lucrative media deals and they're expanding 1638 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 1: to eighteen and sixteen teams respectively. The ACC, yeah, they're expanding. 1639 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,080 Speaker 1: They're locked in. They have a media contract that takes 1640 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: them another ten or twelve year or something like that. 1641 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,080 Speaker 1: There's less same as the Big twelve, same a the 1642 01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:18,960 Speaker 1: PAC tool. But any way you slice it, when you 1643 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,479 Speaker 1: add up these numbers you've got here about let's see 1644 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,600 Speaker 1: one hundred, about two hundred and twenty five million to 1645 01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 1: be spread among the among every single school of those 1646 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,880 Speaker 1: five power conferences. When you add it up eight eighty million, 1647 01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 1: eight to fifty two seven, there's what, my goodness, over 1648 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 1: a billion dollars. So any way you slice it, someone's 1649 01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,360 Speaker 1: getting paid, someone's getting back pay and I know there'll 1650 01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,920 Speaker 1: be more arguments and more teeth gnashing, and more disagreements 1651 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:55,720 Speaker 1: and challenges, and you know, referendums and alterations and adjustments, 1652 01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,280 Speaker 1: because they're just getting started. But it's in the books now, 1653 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,920 Speaker 1: the trains on the tracks. College athletes you can no 1654 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,759 Speaker 1: really longer use the term student athlete or amateur athlete. 1655 01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,760 Speaker 1: They're essentially going to be professional athletes, paid directly by 1656 01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: the colleges. No, by the way, not for nothing, unlimited transfers. 1657 01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 1: And if anybody transferred I think after twenty nineteen and 1658 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 1: was forced to sit out a year, they're getting another 1659 01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 1: year of eligibility. So it's the wild West. You thought 1660 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:26,160 Speaker 1: the transfer portal was crazy before you thought INIL was crazy. 1661 01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:27,920 Speaker 1: This brings you to a whole new level. I want 1662 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 1: to bring in the crew and get their thoughts. We're 1663 01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 1: all fans here, but what we do we're fans of 1664 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 1: college sports. So coming up, we'll get the crew to 1665 01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,679 Speaker 1: gather their thoughts. Is this a good idea. I don't 1666 01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:42,519 Speaker 1: think it's going to make people to stop watching sports, 1667 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 1: but I will say this, it's just going to change 1668 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,840 Speaker 1: the dynamic on how we view this. I'm not sure 1669 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 1: how yet but you just know it's going to him. 1670 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,080 Speaker 1: Bernie Fratdlewor Kennedy Live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, 1671 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,400 Speaker 1: tirect dot Com studios.

Hey, thirty eight minutes away from the 1676 01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 1: dance Sensation sweep in the nation. What kind of brand 1677 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 1: new fool of you? Followed by what my name? You 1678 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,400 Speaker 1: better be listening in your first in mind for a 1679 01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 1: frontal lobotomy. Brianna murle mural excuse me, Brianna Mura will 1680 01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:23,800 Speaker 1: be making her debut. All right, let's go around the room. 1681 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 6: Shay. 1682 01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 1: Let's start with you, your college football fan with Arizona State. 1683 01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 1: What do you think of this development where they're basically 1684 01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:30,759 Speaker 1: going to be paid directly by the schools? 1685 01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 11: Now, So I wanted to touch on it a little bit. 1686 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,240 Speaker 11: So a sports economist will actually be used to decide 1687 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,280 Speaker 11: how they split up the money, which I think is 1688 01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:40,880 Speaker 11: very smart of them. But so I read something that 1689 01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:45,840 Speaker 11: said they'll split it evenly among all players, butts, other 1690 01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,719 Speaker 11: parts will be allocated based on the athlete's market value, 1691 01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 11: and they're going to find out their market value basically 1692 01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:53,960 Speaker 11: by using metrics like career snap count or a player 1693 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,120 Speaker 11: star rating and recruiting. So there's a lot of if 1694 01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,439 Speaker 11: and and butts that can happen with who gets the money, 1695 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,240 Speaker 11: how they give out. So there's a lot of shady 1696 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,840 Speaker 11: things that can happen here. So that's something I'm kind 1697 01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 11: of worried about because when there's a ton of money, 1698 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,360 Speaker 11: and no matter what situation you're in, there always always 1699 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 11: going to be that one guy that tries to take advantage, 1700 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 11: or there's always going to be that one organization that 1701 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:16,639 Speaker 11: tries to take advantage, which I'm not saying anyone will, 1702 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,559 Speaker 11: but it's it's a definite maybe you know what I mean. 1703 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,439 Speaker 11: But as an athlete, I'm more than happy. Like I've 1704 01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:24,720 Speaker 11: had so many friends go on to d one get 1705 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:26,640 Speaker 11: an injury and they just never been the same, or 1706 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,439 Speaker 11: something will happen where they just can't play anymore. Like 1707 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:32,840 Speaker 11: in terms of just mental health, it's it's it's something 1708 01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:36,160 Speaker 11: that necessarily needs to happen. But as you said, like 1709 01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,679 Speaker 11: it's just such a long standing organ like college football 1710 01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,080 Speaker 11: is a multi billion dollar organization, so it's like it's 1711 01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,880 Speaker 11: such an old organization too, that when you change something 1712 01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 11: like this, it's so hard to be right and perfect, 1713 01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 11: you know what I mean, Bernie, It's. 1714 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:55,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So you bring up an interesting point, good research, 1715 01:34:55,760 --> 01:35:00,960 Speaker 1: because how do you how do you reckon style paying 1716 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: the college football running back versus the young lady who's 1717 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:10,280 Speaker 1: a volleyball player who may not generate the same kind 1718 01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:12,479 Speaker 1: of revenue, but you still a Division one athlete. How 1719 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:13,680 Speaker 1: do they reconcile. 1720 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:16,200 Speaker 11: That exact And I'm most interested to see what that 1721 01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 11: star volleyball player gets compared to what that star running 1722 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,559 Speaker 11: back gets because if you think about it, recruiting wise 1723 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,639 Speaker 11: and like in their own assets and their own like sports, 1724 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:26,160 Speaker 11: they're the best. They're at the top of the sport. 1725 01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:29,040 Speaker 11: But right as a viewer, some people could care less 1726 01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:31,360 Speaker 11: about volleyball. I mean, I played volleyball, so I'm not 1727 01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,639 Speaker 11: one of those people. But a lot of people could 1728 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,560 Speaker 11: care less about volleyball. And I've seen that, you know 1729 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 11: what I mean. So it's it's gonna be tough. I mean, 1730 01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:39,120 Speaker 11: the only time people care about volleyball is at the 1731 01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:40,760 Speaker 11: Olympic times. Let's be let's be real here. 1732 01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,720 Speaker 1: So it's just now you said as an example, So 1733 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:47,160 Speaker 1: it looks like they're going to quantify the amount of 1734 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 1: money you get or even for your back pay, based 1735 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,800 Speaker 1: on how many people watched your games, how many people 1736 01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 1: win to your games, how visible you were in those games. 1737 01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 1: This is gonna be It's gonna take a pailanx of 1738 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 1: mathematicians and alice cowboy cheerleaders to figure this damn thing out. 1739 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:04,479 Speaker 1: I mean, because there are a lot of people who 1740 01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:06,960 Speaker 1: played the game in those five years, those major conferences. 1741 01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:09,320 Speaker 1: You just get the feelings someone's going home. 1742 01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,800 Speaker 11: Unhappy, of course, and again I have a feeling that 1743 01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:15,120 Speaker 11: someone out there will try to take advantage of this 1744 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 11: and kind of ruin it for everyone. I'm not saying 1745 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:20,519 Speaker 11: like it's bound to happen, but I just I have 1746 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,200 Speaker 11: a really dark feeling that it will. 1747 01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:24,519 Speaker 1: I feel there's going to be more lawsuits as well. Chef, 1748 01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:25,519 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on this? 1749 01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:28,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's a long time coming, and I 1750 01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,720 Speaker 7: think the NCAA only made it worse on themselves by 1751 01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:36,280 Speaker 7: fighting this because for decades now they've been making millions 1752 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,760 Speaker 7: upon millions now, even in the billions of dollars off 1753 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:43,040 Speaker 7: of these student athletes, and they got I mean, sure, 1754 01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,360 Speaker 7: talk about a scholarship, but I mean even the most 1755 01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,519 Speaker 7: expensive schools tuition is fifty thousand dollars a year. When 1756 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 7: you can argue the lead the starting quarterback at a 1757 01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 7: school like say Notre Dame Alabama, Michigan is worth several 1758 01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:58,040 Speaker 7: times more than fifty thousand dollars a year. So this 1759 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,240 Speaker 7: is something that was a long time coming. Yeah, it 1760 01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,120 Speaker 7: is up to the NCAA. I do think it is 1761 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 7: fair to give everyone a base amount and then determine 1762 01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 7: the rest based on market value. I do agree with 1763 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:12,200 Speaker 7: that because that will probably determine what each athlete does 1764 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,760 Speaker 7: get going forward. And I think that the best way 1765 01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:18,920 Speaker 7: forward is if the athletes unionize and then negotiate a 1766 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,240 Speaker 7: collective bargaining agreement, because I think that can end a 1767 01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:24,560 Speaker 7: lot of the wild West problems we've been seeing regarding 1768 01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:29,200 Speaker 7: the transfer portal, nil guys poaching guys poaching players to 1769 01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,479 Speaker 7: go to their school, put rules in place that can 1770 01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,640 Speaker 7: regulate exactly how things are done, and I think that 1771 01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,439 Speaker 7: this that can actually work out very well and lead 1772 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:41,880 Speaker 7: to several do opportunities for student athletes. To be able 1773 01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:44,920 Speaker 7: to actually profit off of their abilities, which is something 1774 01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,639 Speaker 7: that they, I think were unjustly prevented from doing before. 1775 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 1: Well, and we are in rare times. I had a 1776 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,760 Speaker 1: baseball scholarship in college, not a full ride, but as 1777 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:55,479 Speaker 1: a scholarship. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. 1778 01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:58,160 Speaker 1: But we're now in an era where you're hearing these 1779 01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:02,479 Speaker 1: dollar amounts that are available all because primarily of broadcast rights. 1780 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 1: And there's broadcast rights because everybody's watching, and these networks 1781 01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,880 Speaker 1: are making money. And who was really the product, the 1782 01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,200 Speaker 1: athlete in the field. That's why, Like you said, Kevin, 1783 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 1: it's an idea whose time has come because the product, 1784 01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 1: which is the athlete. While it's true that at one 1785 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:23,000 Speaker 1: time a scholarship may have been sufficient, now wait a minute, now, 1786 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:28,559 Speaker 1: it seems really unfair to deprive the real reason these 1787 01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:32,559 Speaker 1: astronomical TV deal numbers are in place in the first place. 1788 01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:38,920 Speaker 1: It seems unfair to deny the rightful recipients when basically 1789 01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:40,840 Speaker 1: you are tuning in to watch the players on the 1790 01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,400 Speaker 1: field and no one else. Mark Rahms, you got some 1791 01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:43,960 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. 1792 01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:47,120 Speaker 12: I don't want to step on anybody's toes with my 1793 01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:52,479 Speaker 12: explanation but it sounds so confusing as you were laying 1794 01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:54,840 Speaker 12: it out about this and about that, and who's going 1795 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:57,320 Speaker 12: to pay this, who's going to pay that. I just 1796 01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,280 Speaker 12: take it back to many many moods ago. I guess 1797 01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:02,800 Speaker 12: there were, you know, scholarships, but then you had a 1798 01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:04,599 Speaker 12: rich booster from. 1799 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:06,360 Speaker 4: A school who attended that school. 1800 01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:09,639 Speaker 12: Now he's a rich person who can just pay off 1801 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:10,599 Speaker 12: payoff players. 1802 01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:11,400 Speaker 1: That's right. 1803 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:14,680 Speaker 12: Now it's turned into we need to make these so 1804 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:19,479 Speaker 12: called students and employee and so now it's just gets 1805 01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:24,680 Speaker 12: so confusing because wasn't there a team that Well that's 1806 01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:28,360 Speaker 12: another point that you know, it's just so confusing of 1807 01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,559 Speaker 12: what they're going to do because now they want to 1808 01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,840 Speaker 12: make that booster, having to turn into like a bank 1809 01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:38,840 Speaker 12: and pay all the employees, students at the school. It's 1810 01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:42,439 Speaker 12: just so confusing and so much stuff going on. It's 1811 01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:46,640 Speaker 12: just it's going to lead to a certain kind of 1812 01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:50,439 Speaker 12: corruption of money and who's going to get paid and 1813 01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:53,000 Speaker 12: how you deal with all the athletes. 1814 01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,120 Speaker 1: No, it's an excellent point. Mark, And as I've said 1815 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:59,240 Speaker 1: a thousand times in this show, the most boriging conversation 1816 01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:02,240 Speaker 1: was everybody and I think this there is going to 1817 01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:04,720 Speaker 1: be some law of untended consequences here. We just don't 1818 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,639 Speaker 1: know what it is yet. It's got to play out, 1819 01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:10,439 Speaker 1: but I do think that it will. It's answered some 1820 01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:13,360 Speaker 1: questions because it's going to raise a bunch of new ones. Bree, 1821 01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:15,479 Speaker 1: why don't you jump in here, Let's get your thoughts 1822 01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:16,240 Speaker 1: on this whole deal. 1823 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:21,040 Speaker 13: Okay, So I'm just kind of going off Kevin and Mark. 1824 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,920 Speaker 13: I do think there's just so many like moving pieces, 1825 01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:26,800 Speaker 13: and it kind of just reminds me of like the 1826 01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:29,120 Speaker 13: PAC twelve just a little bit, like with Larry Scott, 1827 01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:31,559 Speaker 13: like really couldn't figure out like the whole media deal. 1828 01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:37,560 Speaker 1: And yeah, it couldn't. 1829 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:37,080 Speaker 13: Really like you know, kind of figure that out. And 1830 01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:39,920 Speaker 13: I just think where we're at right now, there's just 1831 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:42,160 Speaker 13: so many, like so much uncertainties, because I mean, I 1832 01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,960 Speaker 13: feel like we're just like headed toward like super conferences, right, 1833 01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:47,800 Speaker 13: and so that's only going to make media deals like 1834 01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,960 Speaker 13: so much more confusing. We just don't nil is still 1835 01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:53,000 Speaker 13: like we're still everyone's still trying to kind of figure 1836 01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,920 Speaker 13: it out. And so I just feel like there's just 1837 01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:59,800 Speaker 13: so many like moving pieces. And I also think just 1838 01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,719 Speaker 13: of going back to just like revenue and non revenue sports. 1839 01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:05,160 Speaker 13: It's kind of like with like different states and like 1840 01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:07,640 Speaker 13: different or like teams. Like there was an article that 1841 01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 13: Joel Klatt wrote and it was like the Seahawks aren't 1842 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,639 Speaker 13: going to operate different than the Arizona Cardinals, right, So 1843 01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:16,559 Speaker 13: it was just really weird to get everybody on the 1844 01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:19,360 Speaker 13: same page across like all you know, fifty states and 1845 01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:22,639 Speaker 13: all conferences. So that's kind of where I'm at. I'm 1846 01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:25,280 Speaker 13: just kind of like there's like seventeen thousand moving pieces 1847 01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,000 Speaker 13: and you're just trying to kind of keep your eye 1848 01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:30,240 Speaker 13: on like five of them just to kind of make sure, 1849 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:30,640 Speaker 13: you know. 1850 01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:33,120 Speaker 1: But you covered a lot of good ground there, and 1851 01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,519 Speaker 1: I'm glad you invoked Larry Scott's name because years ago, 1852 01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,200 Speaker 1: after observing the Big ten and I covered Big ten 1853 01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:43,200 Speaker 1: sports for many years in Michigan, get their astronomical TV contract, 1854 01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,639 Speaker 1: and other conferences started to follow that model. Yes, you see, 1855 01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:50,559 Speaker 1: they do a job. I mean, watching Larry Scott with 1856 01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:53,439 Speaker 1: all due respects, that over the PAC twelve to get 1857 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,680 Speaker 1: them was like a drunk crossing an icy street. He 1858 01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 1: biffed the whole thing. And this whole PAC twelve thing 1859 01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:59,960 Speaker 1: was unavoidable. So if a guy in that role, came 1860 01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,360 Speaker 1: and figured out how do these other people? Figured out? 1861 01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:05,240 Speaker 1: How do we uniform this across three hundred and thirty 1862 01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 1: Division one schools? Really really good stuff there, breath coming up. 1863 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:13,160 Speaker 1: All right, guess who's gonna be making their broadcast debut? 1864 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 1: We know when and when and how now God be 1865 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,360 Speaker 1: the name of Tom Brady.

Elsewhere in Major League Baseball, 1904 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,600 Speaker 7: we actually had a bit of a rain delay in 1905 01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:46,000 Speaker 7: the game between the Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds, and 1906 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:50,400 Speaker 7: eventually that game would get resumed and the Cubs would 1907 01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:55,160 Speaker 7: out last Cincinnati seven to five, but that delayed the 1908 01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,400 Speaker 7: start over three hours that rain storm, so I had 1909 01:44:57,400 --> 01:45:01,920 Speaker 7: to wait a while.

They played another 1947 01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:09,080 Speaker 1: one this year the first Friday of the season in Brazil. 1948 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:14,280 Speaker 1: But the most coveted window, the most coveted real estate, 1949 01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:17,240 Speaker 1: the most coveted time slot in the National Football League, 1950 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:20,160 Speaker 1: believe it or not, is the four to twenty five 1951 01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:25,120 Speaker 1: pm Eastern game or one twenty five Pacific. That window 1952 01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:30,680 Speaker 1: is the most coveted content, coveted time slot for all 1953 01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:36,280 Speaker 1: the NFL's content. Because the CBS had many of those 1954 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:42,639 Speaker 1: games last year, their games averaged just under twenty five 1955 01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:48,280 Speaker 1: million viewers for those ten Sunday afternoon windows. That's more 1956 01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:51,160 Speaker 1: than any other sports or any other entertainment or news 1957 01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:56,480 Speaker 1: on any network. That's the kind of consistency that's incredible. 1958 01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:01,040 Speaker 1: It was twenty four million, six hundred thirty seven thousand 1959 01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:06,160 Speaker 1: viewers the average for ten games. Now Fox had the 1960 01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:11,240 Speaker 1: other eight games. They averaged twenty four million, six hundred 1961 01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:17,439 Speaker 1: and thirty two thousand, so no matter who broadcasts it, 1962 01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:21,960 Speaker 1: you were guaranteed about twenty five million viewers. So what 1963 01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:25,360 Speaker 1: happened this year? Fox went into the twenty twenty four 1964 01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:30,400 Speaker 1: season with a definitive goal to try to get that 1965 01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:35,920 Speaker 1: slot in as many favorable opportunities as possible, and in 1966 01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,720 Speaker 1: the hopes of achieving that, Fox as their partners in 1967 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:41,920 Speaker 1: the NFL to load up the early season with games 1968 01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:46,800 Speaker 1: that would draw huge audiences. The result, Okay, Week one 1969 01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:50,799 Speaker 1: in that time slot, Dallas will visit the Cleveland Browns, 1970 01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:55,040 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens in Week three at the Cowboys, the 1971 01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,640 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions at the Cowboys in week six. That's a 1972 01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:00,840 Speaker 1: rematch from the playoff slash year, and then the Super 1973 01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:05,120 Speaker 1: Bowl rematch Kansas City in San Francisco. They've put out 1974 01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:08,479 Speaker 1: the full schedule and I'm not gonna bore you with it, 1975 01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:12,799 Speaker 1: but here it comes. There's a method of their madness. 1976 01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:18,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's Fox regular season debut. We always know that 1977 01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:23,000 Speaker 1: it was going to draw everybody, from curiosity seekers to 1978 01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:26,200 Speaker 1: Brady fans, just regular old football fans. It really didn't 1979 01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:30,639 Speaker 1: matter when Brady's debut was going to happen. But Fox 1980 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL set this up in his debut game 1981 01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:37,599 Speaker 1: because they wanted to guarantee massive viewership because it features 1982 01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:44,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys against the Browns in an exclusive national Sunday 1983 01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:49,120 Speaker 1: afternoon window. Week one, four twenty five pm Eastern one 1984 01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:52,280 Speaker 1: to twenty five Pacific. There will be no CBS competition. 1985 01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:57,360 Speaker 1: That game will be broadcast ninety percent of the country. Now, 1986 01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,360 Speaker 1: Fox will also air the Washington Tampa Bay game in 1987 01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:02,640 Speaker 1: that same time slot, but it's only going to go 1988 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,920 Speaker 1: to ten percent of the country. There was a time, 1989 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:09,320 Speaker 1: once upon a time, networks could place a higher profile 1990 01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:11,600 Speaker 1: higher on a lower broadcast team to gain reps and 1991 01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,680 Speaker 1: learn the mechanics of television. But they're not doing that 1992 01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:17,800 Speaker 1: here Brady. He's getting no reps. He's going to start 1993 01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:21,760 Speaker 1: right out in the hot seat. They're gonna throw him 1994 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:23,800 Speaker 1: right into the fire. That's no longer the case. When 1995 01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,160 Speaker 1: you look at this salary expenditure for top talent, what 1996 01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:33,040 Speaker 1: they're paying Tom Brady, He'll just he'll be worth the 1997 01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,720 Speaker 1: price of admission. We'll be we'll be watching. So there 1998 01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:39,920 Speaker 1: you have it, Tom Brady. Week one, Dallas at Cleveland, 1999 01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:45,920 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott four twenty five pm Eastern time. 2000 01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:49,280 Speaker 1: That will be Tom Brady's debut. And again I repeat. 2001 01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:53,920 Speaker 1: The four twenty five pm Eastern time window for the 2002 01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:58,599 Speaker 1: National Football League games is the most coveted time slot, 2003 01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:02,280 Speaker 1: the most coveted real estate in all the football. The 2004 01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:06,160 Speaker 1: tense CBS games last year in that time slot averaged 2005 01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,840 Speaker 1: just under twenty five million viewers per game. It's a 2006 01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:15,040 Speaker 1: big number. And Fox's eight slots twenty five million viewers 2007 01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:18,320 Speaker 1: per game. We're not done. There's going to be a 2008 01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:23,160 Speaker 1: new wrinkle on Christmas Day, and once again shots fired 2009 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,840 Speaker 1: the NFL going after its competition?

And of course Breed will be making her 2031 01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:37,160 Speaker 1: debut tonight. All right, guess who's got the NFL Christmas 2032 01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:41,439 Speaker 1: Day Games? Another shot at their competitors. Yes, if you 2033 01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:47,200 Speaker 1: guessed the Netflix, you are right, all right. Netflix was 2034 01:52:48,160 --> 01:52:51,160 Speaker 1: happy to invest in a lot of other very well 2035 01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:56,160 Speaker 1: received docuseries. Do a Formula one Drive to Survive the 2036 01:52:56,240 --> 01:53:01,120 Speaker 1: Quarterback Full Swing, You've got the Mic and Jake Paul 2037 01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:04,760 Speaker 1: Fight coming up. They had a recent dal with WWE. 2038 01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:07,240 Speaker 1: They paid more than five billion for the exclusive rights 2039 01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:12,480 Speaker 1: to the Raw franchise. Let's put it this way. Netflix 2040 01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:18,599 Speaker 1: has very serious sports ambitions and they've created some waves, 2041 01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:23,839 Speaker 1: but I think they got their site set on Peacock 2042 01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:28,360 Speaker 1: and Amazon because Peacock and Amazon have already dipped their 2043 01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:30,360 Speaker 1: toe at the NFL in a while. You know, we 2044 01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:36,320 Speaker 1: had a we had a midnight hour subject matter on 2045 01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:39,439 Speaker 1: this where we took calls last December where there was 2046 01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:43,439 Speaker 1: the playoff game between the Dolphins and the Chiefs or 2047 01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:46,360 Speaker 1: checked that was the Dolphin Chiefs or Dophin Bills, one 2048 01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:48,639 Speaker 1: of the two. But the only way you could watch 2049 01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:52,760 Speaker 1: it was on Peacock. And Peacock apparently paid a one 2050 01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:54,840 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars or so for the rights for that 2051 01:53:55,160 --> 01:54:01,840 Speaker 1: one playoff game, the wildcard game and what happened. And 2052 01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:08,559 Speaker 1: I think they charge like six ninety nine per per 2053 01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, to watch the game on Peacock, and I 2054 01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,439 Speaker 1: think I'm pretty sure they sold like twenty one million 2055 01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:18,160 Speaker 1: of them. So they invested one hundred million, brought back 2056 01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:20,719 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty. No Amazons. They've they've owned Thursday 2057 01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:24,320 Speaker 1: nights right in the NFL now for a while. Well 2058 01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:31,600 Speaker 1: here comes Netflix. A couple weeks ago, Netflix announced that 2059 01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:36,360 Speaker 1: they landed exclusive rights to stream two NFL games on 2060 01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:39,600 Speaker 1: Christmas Day twenty twenty four, which by the way is 2061 01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:42,040 Speaker 1: on a Wednesday this year, and these are good games. 2062 01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:46,760 Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs will teed up against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 2063 01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens against the Houston Texans. But wait, there's more. 2064 01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:56,520 Speaker 1: This is a three season deal that also includes a 2065 01:54:56,600 --> 01:55:02,720 Speaker 1: game on Christmas Day twenty twenty five and Christmas Day six. Now, 2066 01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:07,160 Speaker 1: if you enjoy games with Thrones and House of Dragon analogies, 2067 01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:11,960 Speaker 1: here's just what happened. Netflix is uttered to crairies in 2068 01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:16,240 Speaker 1: the direction of their competitors. By the way, for you 2069 01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:19,080 Speaker 1: non Game of Thrones fans, that means that's the command 2070 01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:22,400 Speaker 1: for dragons to breathe fire. It pretty much says, get 2071 01:55:22,440 --> 01:55:26,360 Speaker 1: out of the way, here we come. The NFL continues 2072 01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:30,000 Speaker 1: to march toward their goal of being a twenty five 2073 01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:35,560 Speaker 1: billion dollar entity, which Roger Goodell is that's their stated 2074 01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:40,160 Speaker 1: goal and they're gonna get there. Okay. Netflix has about 2075 01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:44,080 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy million subscribers globally. They got about 2076 01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:47,080 Speaker 1: eighty man in the United States and Canada, and all 2077 01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Netflix being any kind of player for 2078 01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:53,280 Speaker 1: any kind of live sports rights should really start to 2079 01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:57,840 Speaker 1: get the attention of other networks. Other competitors, no matter 2080 01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:00,640 Speaker 1: who they are, because this is an organization that has 2081 01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:03,600 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of financial might and guess what, they 2082 01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:06,840 Speaker 1: want to hitch their wagon to the NFL, just like 2083 01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:10,960 Speaker 1: everybody else does. It's a no lose situation. This is 2084 01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,880 Speaker 1: one hundred percent consistent with what NFL. Netflix expects to do. 2085 01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,680 Speaker 1: They're following this model that was essentially developed by Basic 2086 01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:22,080 Speaker 1: Cable to move the consumer up the value chain by 2087 01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:31,360 Speaker 1: adding live sports, live sports. Now, there is a research 2088 01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:34,480 Speaker 1: firm called Moffat Nathanson and what they do they provide 2089 01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:38,280 Speaker 1: trends and media. They provide trends and communications and technology 2090 01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:44,080 Speaker 1: because institutional investors are always looking for ways to park 2091 01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:47,720 Speaker 1: their money where they're going to get the most return. Now, 2092 01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:52,760 Speaker 1: Nathansen has covered Netflix for years and well, Michael Nathanson, 2093 01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's the founder managing director of Maffat Nathansen 2094 01:56:56,600 --> 01:56:59,680 Speaker 1: not surprised at all at the NFL and Netflix are 2095 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:01,880 Speaker 1: a He said, over the years he's learned to watch 2096 01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:05,120 Speaker 1: what Netflix does and now what they say, it's the 2097 01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:08,360 Speaker 1: old thing. Don't tell me, show me. Netflix has basically 2098 01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:13,640 Speaker 1: moved from a pure subscriber company to now one that's 2099 01:57:13,720 --> 01:57:16,280 Speaker 1: really in the advertising business. They want to scale ads 2100 01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,880 Speaker 1: and what better content play. Think about it. If you 2101 01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:23,040 Speaker 1: want your business exposed, if you want to hit your 2102 01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:27,160 Speaker 1: wagon to an advertising train that can only move forward, 2103 01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:30,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't you want your ad to be in an NFL game. 2104 01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:37,280 Speaker 1: It's just it's an It's a no brainer. So here's 2105 01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:40,440 Speaker 1: what's interesting. Netflix is only in the feeling out things stage. 2106 01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:44,760 Speaker 1: They've already committed to one sports media property and now 2107 01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:47,280 Speaker 1: here they come. We'll see how this goes, and they'll 2108 01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:49,440 Speaker 1: get the numbers.

Just give 2200 02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:26,080 Speaker 7: me one second. Just give me one second. And the 2201 02:03:26,200 --> 02:03:30,040 Speaker 7: judge just smiled and laughed in complete disbelief, and once 2202 02:03:30,320 --> 02:03:33,720 Speaker 7: Harris parked, Simpson confirmed that Harris is a driver on 2203 02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,600 Speaker 7: a suspended license. Like, bro, you're on a suspended license, 2204 02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:39,240 Speaker 7: and I just saw you driving without a license. I 2205 02:03:39,320 --> 02:03:42,880 Speaker 7: don't know why you would even do that, as what 2206 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:45,720 Speaker 7: he said. And it took a while for Harris to 2207 02:03:46,160 --> 02:03:48,760 Speaker 7: his mouth actually opened once he heard that, to kind 2208 02:03:48,800 --> 02:03:51,840 Speaker 7: of I think he finally started to grasp exactly what 2209 02:03:52,040 --> 02:03:55,920 Speaker 7: had happened there. And as a result, his bond was revoked, 2210 02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,600 Speaker 7: so he had until six o'clock that day to turn 2211 02:03:58,680 --> 02:04:03,520 Speaker 7: himself back into jail so bench warrant would be issued. So, 2212 02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:08,800 Speaker 7: Corey Harris of Pittsfield Township, Michigan, what kind of brand 2213 02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:09,320 Speaker 7: new fool are you? 2214 02:04:10,560 --> 02:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Nicely done?

Announcer Toby Moore 2225 02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:58,280 Speaker 13: thought his mic was off during halftime of a third 2226 02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:02,000 Speaker 13: place clash between rose Hill and McPherson in the in 2227 02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:06,720 Speaker 13: the Kansas Class four A state championship tournament in Wichita, Kansas. 2228 02:05:07,280 --> 02:05:11,720 Speaker 13: The contest was aired on the NFHS Network, which is 2229 02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:15,120 Speaker 13: the National Federation High School Network. Moore thought he was 2230 02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:18,280 Speaker 13: off the air, but began criticizing the players on both 2231 02:05:18,360 --> 02:05:21,800 Speaker 13: sides during halftime. He joked about how poor the play 2232 02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:25,640 Speaker 13: was and then turned his attention on what was what 2233 02:05:25,840 --> 02:05:29,920 Speaker 13: he called the bonus at these high school soccer games, 2234 02:05:30,080 --> 02:05:33,840 Speaker 13: which were the soccer moms, and started making really just 2235 02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:37,080 Speaker 13: the most inappropriate comments that you can think of, since 2236 02:05:37,120 --> 02:05:39,400 Speaker 13: I don't want to you know, I don't want to 2237 02:05:39,400 --> 02:05:42,840 Speaker 13: say on the air. He has since been barred from 2238 02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:46,320 Speaker 13: covering any games in the future.

For Real Madrid, 2641 02:25:43,879 --> 02:25:47,720 Speaker 2: it was a farewell to one of their long standing members, 2642 02:25:47,840 --> 02:25:50,520 Speaker 2: Tony Kruz, who announced he will not be back with 2643 02:25:50,560 --> 02:25:53,600 Speaker 2: the club next year, and it was a heralding for 2644 02:25:54,120 --> 02:25:57,840 Speaker 2: a legacy that seems to have really no end, no 2645 02:25:58,160 --> 02:26:01,920 Speaker 2: sun setting upon the Spanish m higher as of right now, 2646 02:26:02,520 --> 02:26:06,200 Speaker 2: for reasons that should become very apparent when the transfers 2647 02:26:06,240 --> 02:26:09,520 Speaker 2: start and we see killing Embape making his way down 2648 02:26:09,720 --> 02:26:13,560 Speaker 2: to Madrid. Real Madrid also won their La Liga title 2649 02:26:13,680 --> 02:26:17,520 Speaker 2: no surprise, sheer dominance in the domestic league of Spain 2650 02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:21,920 Speaker 2: with Barcelona far far behind, and this year caps off 2651 02:26:22,280 --> 02:26:25,280 Speaker 2: a fantastic season for the Spanish Titans. 2652 02:26:25,640 --> 02:26:26,160 Speaker 6: To nil. 2653 02:26:26,560 --> 02:26:27,720 Speaker 4: And really it is the. 2654 02:26:27,800 --> 02:26:30,400 Speaker 2: Legacy of both the young and the old that can 2655 02:26:30,520 --> 02:26:34,040 Speaker 2: be seen in how they were able to win this game. 2656 02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:34,680 Speaker 1: So to nil. 2657 02:26:34,760 --> 02:26:37,640 Speaker 2: Let's break that down. That means two goals. First, let's 2658 02:26:37,680 --> 02:26:42,880 Speaker 2: talk about the old. Danny Carvil, the Spanish defender who 2659 02:26:42,959 --> 02:26:45,920 Speaker 2: has been with the club since twenty fourteen, all of 2660 02:26:46,040 --> 02:26:49,320 Speaker 2: ten years grew up and was part of their youth 2661 02:26:49,720 --> 02:26:54,560 Speaker 2: organization coming up. He now has sex titles to their name, 2662 02:26:54,840 --> 02:26:58,080 Speaker 2: six Champions League titles to his name, now joining the 2663 02:26:58,280 --> 02:27:01,680 Speaker 2: likes of Luka Modrich, Tony Bruce and Nacho all his 2664 02:27:01,879 --> 02:27:05,760 Speaker 2: teammates on Real Madrid again one of the most decorated 2665 02:27:05,879 --> 02:27:08,720 Speaker 2: that you can ask for out there, along with their 2666 02:27:08,760 --> 02:27:11,800 Speaker 2: fantastic manager and Carlos en Solotti back with a team 2667 02:27:11,879 --> 02:27:15,040 Speaker 2: and already winning two titles in his second stint. He 2668 02:27:15,160 --> 02:27:17,959 Speaker 2: had one back in the twenty thirteen twenty fourteen days 2669 02:27:18,280 --> 02:27:21,360 Speaker 2: and really Enslotti. With how decorated he has been, he 2670 02:27:21,520 --> 02:27:23,680 Speaker 2: might be considered one of the greatest of all times 2671 02:27:23,920 --> 02:27:27,120 Speaker 2: when it comes to those managers, and especially on this 2672 02:27:27,320 --> 02:27:30,280 Speaker 2: new era of Real Madrid as they get their dynasty 2673 02:27:30,440 --> 02:27:34,680 Speaker 2: now back in action and fully fully throttling their way 2674 02:27:34,760 --> 02:27:37,640 Speaker 2: forward into the future. And what does that future look like? 2675 02:27:38,080 --> 02:27:41,520 Speaker 2: It looks like Venisius Junior age twenty three, who is 2676 02:27:41,560 --> 02:27:45,680 Speaker 2: the first goal in this game, a real cracker there forward, 2677 02:27:45,920 --> 02:27:50,480 Speaker 2: is just a phenomenal, phenomenal talent and impose their will 2678 02:27:51,160 --> 02:27:53,760 Speaker 2: throughout this game. And that's not to say nothing of 2679 02:27:53,879 --> 02:27:56,920 Speaker 2: Jude Bellingham, the twenty year old phenom he won't even 2680 02:27:56,959 --> 02:27:59,400 Speaker 2: be able to legally drink in America if he ever 2681 02:27:59,440 --> 02:28:00,879 Speaker 2: comes over to America. 2682 02:28:01,120 --> 02:28:03,000 Speaker 11: Until the end of June. 2683 02:28:03,600 --> 02:28:07,080 Speaker 2: This is just some of the talent that Real Madrid 2684 02:28:07,320 --> 02:28:09,440 Speaker 2: was able to show out there in spades. 2685 02:28:10,560 --> 02:28:13,200 Speaker 4: And again we have to keep repeating this. 2686 02:28:13,840 --> 02:28:17,600 Speaker 2: They're going to get Killian and Bape most likely in 2687 02:28:17,920 --> 02:28:23,640 Speaker 2: this off season. It's unbelievable what Real Madrid is. But 2688 02:28:23,760 --> 02:28:26,720 Speaker 2: let's not also take away from Borussia Dortmund, who had 2689 02:28:26,760 --> 02:28:30,600 Speaker 2: a fantastic season, came up just short. No strangers to 2690 02:28:30,680 --> 02:28:34,040 Speaker 2: the to the spotlight of Wembley or to the Champions 2691 02:28:34,120 --> 02:28:36,960 Speaker 2: League final. Dortmund, you know, won a Champions League back 2692 02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:39,640 Speaker 2: in the day and was just here in Wembley about 2693 02:28:39,680 --> 02:28:44,760 Speaker 2: ten years ago, running up to Bayern Munich, their German rivals. 2694 02:28:45,080 --> 02:28:48,040 Speaker 2: But Dortmund did not take an easy road here and 2695 02:28:48,120 --> 02:28:51,000 Speaker 2: they were no slouch and no pushover in this game. 2696 02:28:51,480 --> 02:28:55,880 Speaker 2: They I believe there is a expected goals stat Dortmund 2697 02:28:55,959 --> 02:28:59,760 Speaker 2: had was two point zh six on expected goals to 2698 02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:03,360 Speaker 2: Real Madrid's one point two and Dortmund comes up and 2699 02:29:03,520 --> 02:29:08,040 Speaker 2: the empty handed in the category of the score and 2700 02:29:08,600 --> 02:29:14,480 Speaker 2: that really then puts the attention on Madrid's goalkeeper Thibodol 2701 02:29:14,560 --> 02:29:19,320 Speaker 2: Cortoy who was unbelievable in this game. But really Dortmund 2702 02:29:19,400 --> 02:29:22,040 Speaker 2: just had some bad luck of it as well. They 2703 02:29:22,120 --> 02:29:24,000 Speaker 2: should get some props in this too, and I think 2704 02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:28,119 Speaker 2: a two Nilo Ligne does not really highlight the amount 2705 02:29:28,120 --> 02:29:30,800 Speaker 2: of talent and the hustle that they put out there. 2706 02:29:30,840 --> 02:29:33,640 Speaker 2: They were no slouch in this game. But Real Madrid, 2707 02:29:34,040 --> 02:29:37,920 Speaker 2: you are boxing Gun's history if you are Dortmund. Real 2708 02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:41,240 Speaker 2: Madrid has now cemented themselves in the lights of what 2709 02:29:41,360 --> 02:29:44,040 Speaker 2: we could have seen in the past with say Manchester United, 2710 02:29:44,320 --> 02:29:47,520 Speaker 2: and each year it seems Real Madrid's rain seems to 2711 02:29:47,600 --> 02:29:50,920 Speaker 2: have no real slowing, no real chance that they can 2712 02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:54,280 Speaker 2: really fall apart. Unlike someone like say Bayern Munich, who 2713 02:29:54,320 --> 02:29:56,800 Speaker 2: has showed a lot of weakness in the past years, 2714 02:29:56,959 --> 02:30:01,119 Speaker 2: Real Madrid just keeps getting stronger re loads. And while 2715 02:30:01,160 --> 02:30:03,560 Speaker 2: they will be saying farewell to Tony Kruz and some 2716 02:30:03,680 --> 02:30:06,480 Speaker 2: of their veteran talent in the years to come, they 2717 02:30:06,560 --> 02:30:10,080 Speaker 2: also have those young guys I talked about, Venisius Junior, 2718 02:30:11,120 --> 02:30:15,320 Speaker 2: Jude Bellingham and soon Killian Embappe. It is a great 2719 02:30:15,560 --> 02:30:18,560 Speaker 2: time to be Real Madrid, and it's a great time. 2720 02:30:18,720 --> 02:30:23,320 Speaker 2: It is a guilt free Championship for Real Madrid on 2721 02:30:23,440 --> 02:30:26,200 Speaker 2: one of the most fantastic seasons you can ask for them. 2722 02:30:26,840 --> 02:30:28,920 Speaker 2: So the lights fade in Wembley, but that does not 2723 02:30:29,160 --> 02:30:31,360 Speaker 2: mean that the world of soccer is over. We have 2724 02:30:31,480 --> 02:30:35,240 Speaker 2: a very, very busy summer to come. Just as the 2725 02:30:35,360 --> 02:30:38,879 Speaker 2: United States women's team, who welcome in their new coach, 2726 02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:44,480 Speaker 2: Emma Hayes and has been at camp meeting the media 2727 02:30:44,959 --> 02:30:47,000 Speaker 2: and saying that she's not going to change much the 2728 02:30:47,160 --> 02:30:49,600 Speaker 2: DNA of a team that honestly just had its worst 2729 02:30:49,680 --> 02:30:52,199 Speaker 2: World Cup showing out there and now to turn around 2730 02:30:52,240 --> 02:30:55,520 Speaker 2: and prepare for the Olympic Games coming up here in 2731 02:30:55,800 --> 02:30:59,520 Speaker 2: Paris here very soon. And also in about two weeks time, 2732 02:30:59,760 --> 02:31:04,160 Speaker 2: you're twenty four, the euro Championships is going to be underway, 2733 02:31:04,360 --> 02:31:06,080 Speaker 2: and you want to talk about one of the finest 2734 02:31:06,120 --> 02:31:09,160 Speaker 2: competitions you can find outside of a World Cup. 2735 02:31:09,280 --> 02:31:12,120 Speaker 4: Year, it will be there, and so too will be 2736 02:31:12,160 --> 02:31:12,920 Speaker 4: the Copa. 2737 02:31:12,640 --> 02:31:16,800 Speaker 2: America being held between most of the countries of South America, 2738 02:31:16,879 --> 02:31:19,600 Speaker 2: but also included this year in a twist, some of 2739 02:31:19,640 --> 02:31:22,440 Speaker 2: the top countries from the CONCACAF region that is North America, 2740 02:31:22,480 --> 02:31:26,039 Speaker 2: and yes, that does include the United States men's team 2741 02:31:26,480 --> 02:31:30,320 Speaker 2: will be there. Of course, the men do not play 2742 02:31:31,280 --> 02:31:34,480 Speaker 2: in the Olympics soccer it is for the men's an 2743 02:31:34,600 --> 02:31:38,680 Speaker 2: under twenty three competition, whereas realmen's soccer it is the 2744 02:31:38,760 --> 02:31:42,200 Speaker 2: senior game. As expected, so rest assured, this is going 2745 02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:45,280 Speaker 2: to be a fantastic summer of soccer. We're almost at 2746 02:31:45,320 --> 02:31:49,600 Speaker 2: the halfway point of the Major League Soccer season as well. 2747 02:31:49,680 --> 02:31:51,520 Speaker 2: We haven't really gotten to talk too much about it, 2748 02:31:51,800 --> 02:31:54,800 Speaker 2: mostly because MLS, while it is here in the United States, 2749 02:31:55,080 --> 02:31:58,240 Speaker 2: it's not exactly the best soccer.

It's an 2789 02:34:21,920 --> 02:34:26,320 Speaker 1: elimination game of Birmingham Southern wins. Well, their postseason will 2790 02:34:26,360 --> 02:34:30,720 Speaker 1: continue Monday. Why am I sharing this with you? Well, 2791 02:34:30,760 --> 02:34:35,560 Speaker 1: the Birmingham Southern baseball team. Yes, they are playing in 2792 02:34:35,640 --> 02:34:40,120 Speaker 1: the Division three College World Series in East Lake, Ohio, 2793 02:34:41,400 --> 02:34:45,000 Speaker 1: but they are representing a school that no longer exists 2794 02:34:45,760 --> 02:34:49,760 Speaker 1: as of May thirty first, Birmingham Southern College. It's a 2795 02:34:49,840 --> 02:34:55,560 Speaker 1: private liberal arts college and enrollment of about thirteen hundred Birmingham, Alabama. 2796 02:34:56,400 --> 02:34:59,440 Speaker 1: They close their doors for good on May thirty first 2797 02:34:59,520 --> 02:35:04,200 Speaker 1: because of financial difficulties. School's been around since eighteen fifty six. 2798 02:35:04,800 --> 02:35:07,960 Speaker 1: They'd fought for a couple of years to restore its endowment, 2799 02:35:08,080 --> 02:35:11,280 Speaker 1: but legislation for a thirty million dollars loan did not 2800 02:35:11,600 --> 02:35:14,320 Speaker 1: pass in the Alabama State House. As a result, the 2801 02:35:14,440 --> 02:35:17,680 Speaker 1: school they decided to close their doors in March, and 2802 02:35:17,760 --> 02:35:22,039 Speaker 1: they officially did so Friday. Yet the Panthers baseball team 2803 02:35:22,760 --> 02:35:26,720 Speaker 1: they play on. They swept Dennison in a best of 2804 02:35:26,760 --> 02:35:30,200 Speaker 1: three Super Regional series last week to advance to the 2805 02:35:30,320 --> 02:35:36,760 Speaker 1: D three College World Series. They lost their first game 2806 02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:40,520 Speaker 1: and now every game is elimination game. But these guys 2807 02:35:40,560 --> 02:35:43,960 Speaker 1: actually know how to play with pressure because they found 2808 02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:47,680 Speaker 1: out they were that the school was being closed down 2809 02:35:48,680 --> 02:35:53,520 Speaker 1: in March, and at that time they had a thirteen 2810 02:35:53,560 --> 02:35:57,360 Speaker 1: to ten record. But upon finding out that the school 2811 02:35:57,360 --> 02:35:59,960 Speaker 1: would be closed down, they went on a winning stream. 2812 02:36:00,440 --> 02:36:02,600 Speaker 1: And they went twenty and four in their next twenty 2813 02:36:02,680 --> 02:36:07,600 Speaker 1: four games, and they've now won eleven other past twelve games. 2814 02:36:09,600 --> 02:36:11,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's a sad situation. The only players got 2815 02:36:11,720 --> 02:36:14,439 Speaker 1: to find new schools this year. Some have found new programs. 2816 02:36:15,040 --> 02:36:18,400 Speaker 1: Some are saying, you know, they've been on Twitter saying 2817 02:36:18,760 --> 02:36:22,240 Speaker 1: campus may be closing. But the story is still to 2818 02:36:22,360 --> 02:36:25,720 Speaker 1: be written by the way. The Birmingham Southern actually played 2819 02:36:25,720 --> 02:36:28,199 Speaker 1: in the D three College World Series back in twenty nineteen. 2820 02:36:28,840 --> 02:36:33,440 Speaker 1: They lost to Chapman University in Orange, California. I remember 2821 02:36:33,480 --> 02:36:37,160 Speaker 1: back in the day, Chapman was the Division one baseball school. 2822 02:36:37,160 --> 02:36:38,720 Speaker 1: We had Tim Flannery Marty Casse to go. I know 2823 02:36:38,760 --> 02:36:42,400 Speaker 1: because I played there. All right, give it up though, 2824 02:36:43,280 --> 02:36:49,040 Speaker 1: to the good folks at Birmingham Southern. They stay alive 2825 02:36:49,280 --> 02:36:52,000 Speaker 1: in the D three College World Series. They have a 2826 02:36:52,120 --> 02:36:55,320 Speaker 1: nine to seven walk off when they look completely done 2827 02:36:55,800 --> 02:36:58,720 Speaker 1: before a three run rally in the eighth inning. They 2828 02:36:58,840 --> 02:37:02,120 Speaker 1: keep their improbable story going in the most thrilling fashion 2829 02:37:02,600 --> 02:37:05,760 Speaker 1: you can imagine. And the question is, what what the 2830 02:37:05,840 --> 02:37:09,680 Speaker 1: hell do you do if you're Birmingham Southern and you 2831 02:37:09,800 --> 02:37:13,920 Speaker 1: win the College D three World Series, or exactly do 2832 02:37:14,000 --> 02:37:17,520 Speaker 1: you hang the banner? They don't have a school anymore. 2833 02:37:18,400 --> 02:37:19,800 Speaker 1: By the way, you can follow a lot of this 2834 02:37:19,959 --> 02:37:25,160 Speaker 1: on Twitter at BSc Athletics. Actually, the Panthers face it 2835 02:37:25,200 --> 02:37:28,200 Speaker 1: into their season. Saturday evening, they were they would risk 2836 02:37:28,240 --> 02:37:31,080 Speaker 1: of going home after the double elimination tournament. They lost 2837 02:37:31,120 --> 02:37:35,080 Speaker 1: Friday's opener. As I said to Salve Regina, and unlike 2838 02:37:35,120 --> 02:37:37,680 Speaker 1: Friday evenings game, when, believe it or not, the electricity 2839 02:37:37,760 --> 02:37:40,880 Speaker 1: actually went out beforehand at Classic Park. They had to 2840 02:37:40,920 --> 02:37:44,840 Speaker 1: sing the national Lantham themselves on the field, but they 2841 02:37:44,920 --> 02:37:47,360 Speaker 1: turned on their power with their bats going nine runs. 2842 02:37:47,400 --> 02:37:52,320 Speaker 1: So there I have it, Birmingham Southern. They'll have the 2843 02:37:52,520 --> 02:37:54,360 Speaker 1: chance to live one more day. They'll play Sunday and 2844 02:37:54,400 --> 02:37:57,280 Speaker 1: if they win Sunday, they'll play Monday. And after that, 2845 02:37:57,480 --> 02:38:00,920 Speaker 1: where do you go? No one's home. The school doesn't 2846 02:38:01,040 --> 02:38:04,560 Speaker 1: exist anymore. Birmingham Southern Baseball one for the ages.
