9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: to the US men's basketball team. The Olympic team is

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: the advance to the medal round. I'll be darn. Are

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: you surprised? Well, you shouldn't be, although I want to

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: give Steve Kerr a lot of credit. And in the

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: words of Chris Rock, you typically don't get much credit

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: for something you're supposed to do. But I think he's

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: done a great job. But I'd like you all to

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: do me a favor. Please. If I never hear the

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: term dream team again, it'll be too soon. I was

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: okay ninety two, I'm not okay in twenty twenty four.

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: First of all, to me, a true dream team is

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: not merely a compilation of a bunch of hand picked luminaries.

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: But rather sort of a magical collection of people who

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: come together who ultimately in fact surprise you because they

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: end up being far better than the some of their parts.

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: So I'm going to tell you a story that takes

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: you back to the nineteen thirty six Olympics. I only

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: get to tell this story about every four years, but

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: it never gets old. See, because for my money, there

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: was only one dream team. So let me take you

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: back to nineteen thirty six for the Berlin Olympics and

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: introduce you to a little known Olympic team and Olympic

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: story that will chronicle to what I believe to be

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: the only real dream team. Now. First of all, back then,

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: earning Olympic eligibility was very different, much different, but it

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: set the stage for this unknown upstart, AAU team from Hollywood,

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: California that had been put together merely by a series

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: of open trials. So they assemble the team through a

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: series of open trials, yes true story, they entered the tournament.

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: They somehow manage to survive several qualifying tournaments and even

39
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: an eight team round robin at Madison Square Garden which

40
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: they won that gave them the right to represent US

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: men's basketball at the Berlin Olympics, and then the real

42
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: fun began. These guys all had jobs, and after the

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: players informed the respective employers of their intent to compete

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: in the Olympic Games, they were all told if they

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: did so, they would not have jobs when they returned.

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: But they were undaunted. Every member of the team except

47
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: one said the hell with you, and they made the

48
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: trip anyway. And then the fund really began. The team

49
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: caught a real break, and I mean a real break

50
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: in the opening round. Their first opponent was supposed to

51
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: be Spain. Spain forfeited because the Spanish Civil War had

52
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: broken out, and the entire roster was called to come home.

53
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: Can't make this stuff up. But after that, the US entrant,

54
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: this little AAU team from Hollywood, got hot. They beat Estonia,

55
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: they beat the Philippine or the Philippines. They mowed down

56
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: Mexico and that set up the gold match, the gold

57
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: medal match against Canada, which coincidentally, as you may know,

58
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: Canada is the home of basketball founder James Nasmith, who

59
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: ironically was denied access to the games because of a

60
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: PaperWorks nafu. The US won the game, won the gold medal.

61
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: The final score was nineteen to eight. Perhaps the reason

62
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: the score was so low is because there was a

63
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: downpour during the game. Oh that's right. You probably didn't

64
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: know that either. The game was played outside on a

65
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: court made of sand and clay, So they did it

66
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: in Berlin back in nineteen thirty six. But shortly thereafter

67
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: there are pictures that are out there of the players.

68
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: They're drenched in mud in their uniforms, happily sporting their

69
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: gold medals. To me, that was a dream team. Now.

70
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: That was also the first year that basketball was officially

71
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: recognized as an Olympic sport, and frankly it could have

72
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: been the biggest story of the games. If not, well,

73
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: if not for some guy by the name of Jesse Owens.

74
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: Having said all that, you have to give this current

75
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: USD team a lot of credit. But here's where I

76
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: find the circle of life to be always so fast mating,

77
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: I believe, and we'll have Mark Madina at midnight. We've

78
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: been talking about this for weeks after watching the exhibition

79
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas about three four weeks ago. I

80
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: do believe we are headed toward a collision course between Canada,

81
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: who beat the US just last year in the United

82
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: States for the gold medal, same as nineteen thirty six.

83
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, Canada has not medaled in basketball in the

84
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Olympics since nineteen thirty six, when they took the silver

85
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: medal in that infamous nineteen to eight loss on an

86
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: outdoor court in a pouring rainstorm to the United States.

87
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: But Canada's got a little bit tougher draw. They got

88
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: to get past the home team France and victor wim

89
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: Minyama just for the opportunity to advance. But the US,

90
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: they'll face Brazil in the quarterfinals of the Olympics Men's

91
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: well the quarterfinals of course, this next Tuesday, and should

92
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: they win, which they will, they'll find themselves in a

93
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: semi final matchup against either Serbia or Australia, and the earliest.

94
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 2: Because the US was so dominant, winning all their games

95
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: by accumulative sixty one points, they got the number one seed,

96
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: Germany got the number two seed. They were plus forty

97
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: seven and they're winning differential. So the US has earned

98
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: the right to have, I say this in quotes, an

99
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: easier path. They were never they were never gonna lose

100
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: this thing. I'll eat Crowe trust me. I've asked Ian

101
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: and all my producers to save my sound for the

102
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: last three weeks. The NBA, the USA team is too deep,

103
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: too athletic. They have the finest run and jump athletes

104
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: in the universe, and they might play with their food

105
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: for a while, but when it matters most they're gonna

106
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: squeeze you because they run faster and jump higher, and

107
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: they're more accomplished. And that's just the end of the

108
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: end of the story. But as a result of their

109
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: performance on the earliest they could see Germany, Canada or

110
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: France arguably the three best teams behind the US, because

111
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: it's certainly not Brazil, North Serbia or Australia. The earliest

112
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: the US could see any of those top three teams

113
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: is the final, so it gets more fun. On Tuesday,

114
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: you have Winter go Home quarterfinal games Victor Weman, Yama

115
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: and France. Well, they'll take on Shay Gilgis in Canada.

116
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: And then you've got reigning World Cup champ Germany, who's

117
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: a fine looking team, a lot of skilled players and

118
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: would they give the US a tussel? Sure, they'll play

119
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: just well enough to lose. They'll face Giannis and Greece,

120
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: and then of course Australia, who won the bronze at

121
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: the last Olympics. They drew a matchup with Serbia and

122
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: Jokic Tuesday. If you lose, you're done. Tuesday's winners will

123
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: play Thursday in the semi finals in the United States.

124
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Brazil will face the winner of Serbia Australia, and then

125
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: Germany Greece will take on the winner of France Canada

126
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: next Saturday. By the time I sign on this show,

127
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: it will be a fake accompany. My prediction the US

128
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: will beat Canada, doesn't matter. Who's gonna win the bronze.

129
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: In case you missed it, Puerto Rico, Spain and that

130
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: plucky South Sudan team that became a fan favorite. They

131
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: were all eliminated in the group stage US three and

132
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: oh they lock up the number one overall seed. They

133
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: beat Puerto Rico one oh four eighty three. And I

134
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: give Steve Kerr a lot of credit. I think he's

135
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: done some things that in terms of making adjustments and

136
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: putting lineups on the floor and rotations on the floor

137
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: that best suited the competition. They were playing simple as that.

138
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: But can we please pump the brakes on the Dream Team.

139
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear anything about a dream team.

140
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: This is not a dream team. The US was minus

141
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: five hundred to win the gold medal. That means they

142
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: had an eighty four percent chance. This is before the

143
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: tournament ever started. It's much higher than that. Now. I

144
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: think they were undervalued. I know they had a couple

145
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: of scares in the you know, in the exhibition games,

146
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: they were still five and zero and they might not

147
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: have won by the margin you wanted them to win,

148
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: but they won. They did what they needed to do

149
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: when they needed to do it. Because the NBA is

150
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: still the best league in the world and it's not

151
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: even close. But please the dream team.

152
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 3: No.

153
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: By the way, congrats to Liz l from Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

154
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: She's our first winner to win a set of four

155
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: brand new tires in the summer of Tirerax's Reepstakes, and

156
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,160

Speaker 6: Fellows, Hey, Bernie, thanks for having me.

201
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: On, Buddy, Always a pleasure. And I want to start

202
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: with this. The NFL is back as it were preseason

203
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: is underway right out of the gate. A game is

204
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: called the third quarter due to rain, which reminds everybody

205
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 2: read the house rules on the ticket. When you make

206
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: a bet, your thoughts.

207
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, good, good good subject. And you know, for people

208
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 6: that don't know, this is really an unscripted show, I

209
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 6: have no idea what you're going to ask me tonight,

210
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 6: but that's a great starter right there, and I'll just play.

211
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 6: I'm surprised all the people that gamble on the opening

212
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 6: game that do not know the rules. Now, I'm not

213
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 6: trying to say that it's black and white, but you

214
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 6: have to realize a game. If you have the under

215
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 6: on the game, you're obviously you're happy as can be.

216
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 6: But that public life's betting over. So you know, sixty

217
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 6: five percent of them bet over on the game, and

218
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 6: they said they feel they should get paid. A game

219
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 6: has to go normally. Book the book. It does change.

220
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 6: I want to give you an in general sense fifty

221
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: five minutes, and I know people were giving one of

222
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 6: the guys online who actually does talk a lot, Jeff

223
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 6: Benson down at Circa here in Vegas. He does talk

224
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 6: a lot about the rules, regulations and what goes on

225
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 6: the answers, tweets, and so he's going to be open

226
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 6: to some criticism. He's got to stake some back and forth.

227
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 6: And sure enough, Jeff was bombarded with people saying, you're

228
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: supposed to pay. It went over already earlier and we

229
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 6: should get paid. And then these these sports books back

230
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 6: East that came into the country, the DraftKings, the Fandels,

231
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: all the sports books that have these type of refund

232
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 6: wagers trying to give a courtesy back to the customer.

233
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 6: So they gave refunds on these type of situations in

234
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: the past, So what does that open the door for

235
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 6: everyone to expect refunds in the future. And it didn't happen,

236
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 6: and people are upset, they're mad. It's all misplaced rage.

237
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 6: Everyone is claiming that, you know, and someone like myself

238
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: who actually did wager on the game. I wagered on it,

239
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 6: and I had it looked like now it was early,

240
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 6: it was a third quarter, but it looked like I

241
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 6: probably was on the wrong side of the opening game.

242
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 6: I had Houston. I actually took two points with Houston.

243
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 6: I actually sent you a copy of one of my

244
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 6: two thousand dollars bets that I made on Houston.

245
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Plus two.

246
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, it could have but they just missed

247
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 6: a field goal. It could have on either way, but

248
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 6: I'm not upset either way. Last year twice, both times

249
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: I was winning preseason game. Both times AGA they got

250
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 6: called from lightning. They got called due to lightning. So

251
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 6: I understand the way it goes. I also sent you

252
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 6: copies today. If some other games I bet and you

253
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: see that, yeah, I'm just saying, you see it so

254
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: I get the best of the line, but you still

255
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: have to win the game. So it's a lot of

256
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 6: people are new to the sports betting scene too, so

257
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 6: I'm not really coming down on them. I'm just saying,

258
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 6: just know your rules and regulations with the sports books

259
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 6: you play in, so you know it's I don't want

260
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 6: to sound like I'm mad about people not knowing the

261
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 6: rules because some people, I guess won't know. They're brand

262
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 6: new the sports betting and that's what these places depend on.

263
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 6: Someone these newbies coming in and just bet in the

264
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 6: opening game just to have action. As you can see,

265
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 6: I bet the game. I had a nice edge on

266
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 6: the game before tip off.

267
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: But to your point, if you're going to wager your

268
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: hard earned money, understand the rules before you're going in,

269
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: so you don't feel like you're being slighted. You know,

270
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: sports books grade thousands of tickets, not necessarily sticking up

271
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: form its, so people know. They typically don't grade action

272
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: until after the final is complete because they don't really

273
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: have the resources and all that. But I don't want

274
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: to go into that. I do want to go into

275
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: the preseason crack because the other thing that bothers me

276
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: is you'll hear some fine folks that will go on

277
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: and say you got to be degenerate to Brett preseason

278
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: it's the exact opposite. It's the only professionalist board where

279
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: you have to two teams or one side cares if

280
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: they win and the other does. We have two key

281
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,479
Speaker 2: games coming up this next week two coaches, John Harbaugh,

282
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: who's like forty and nineteen against the number in the

283
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: preseason against Nick Siriani who's one and seven. Then the

284
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: following day you have another couple of coaches Robert Sala

285
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: loves to win in the preseason. He's seventy percent against

286
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: his bread against Dan Quinn in Washington, who's five and

287
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: sixteen against the numbers. So you've got two key matchups

288
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: or one side the coach wants to win, and the

289
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: other side they don't really care. You don't see that

290
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: in professional sports. Talk about your philosophy and betting the preseason, you.

291
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 6: Know, I wish that we had, you know, seventeen weeks

292
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 6: of preseason only three weeks of the regular season. That's

293
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: how strong the preseason has been to me over the years.

294
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 6: And I get a charge out of when someone text

295
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 6: me and says, well, you're must be a degenerate betting

296
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 6: preseason anyway. Well, honestly, they don't know what they're talking about.

297
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 6: The preseason is all about information. It's all about social media.

298
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 6: It's all about following your socials, your coaches, your strength coaches.

299
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 6: You know, if it can come from anyone. It can

300
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 6: come from a coach's child, the coach's son, or someone

301
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 6: in the family related that maybe get here's something and he,

302
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 6: you know, he just you know, blurts it out on

303
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 6: Twitter or one.

304
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: Of the socials.

305
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 6: And it's all about what information and knowing what the

306
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 6: coaches themselves do, Like you said, the harbaws, the solos

307
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 6: knowing what they do.

308
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: And as you can see what these.

309
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 6: Two games you mentioned, the Baltimore Philadelphia game Baltimore laying

310
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 6: three points in that game. That's a lot of points

311
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 6: for anyone. By the way, preseasons are normally around pick

312
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 6: them maybe two to two and a half, very rare

313
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 6: anything goes over three. I see a couple of games

314
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 6: that are three, even a game that is four. This

315
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 6: is one of the games that is three. Baltimore they know, really,

316
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 6: so that's probably the number one team of preseason that

317
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: they know that their coach plays hard. So Baltimore minus

318
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 6: threw over Philadelphia, who, you're right, don't really, Sirianni's really

319
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 6: probably not going to care for that opening game. No

320
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: one wants to get anyone hurt. Going back to the

321
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 6: Jet game, the Jet game actually is pretty funny. It

322
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 6: opened up pick them and actually Washington took the money

323
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 6: Washington minus one and a half. But maybe they're just

324
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 6: thinking that, you know, after what happened last year with Rogers.

325
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 6: Obviously he's not even gonna standy club. I'm not saying that,

326
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 6: but a maybe maybe they're thinking that, maybe that Salah

327
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 6: will just say, you know what, I'm not getting no

328
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 6: one hurt out of my starters after what happened last

329
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 6: year or early even though it was week one of

330
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 6: the regular season. That's just a hypothesis. Now I don't

331
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 6: know the situation there, but I'm telling you how. It's

332
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 6: how it goes down, and how preseason football works. It's

333
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 6: all about following socials, following what the coaches say, and

334
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 6: of course what Bernie Frattle just said, knowing the position

335
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 6: of the coaches throughout the years and previous years. So

336
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 6: that's all three good factors to handicap the preseason. And boy,

337
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 6: oh boy, do I wish we had more preseason than

338
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 6: only three weeks.

339
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: One other quick one, Cracked. Look at the quarterback depth

340
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: chart rotations you're probably going to see in that Jets game.

341
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: To Rob Taylor play almost a half. This is a

342
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: veteran quarterback who knows how to move the ball up

343
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: and down the field against some guys next week who

344
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: might be working a nap auto parts. Nothing wrong with that,

345
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: but you look for those mismatches as well. Look at ahead.

346
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: What are some things that are top of mind as

347
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: we look toward the NFL season?

348
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 6: Crack, Well, I want to finish off with what you're

349
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 6: saying there. Last point on preseason. It's not unusual to

350
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: see a game where the team is favorite by one

351
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 6: for the full game, but yet Favorite by three in

352
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 6: the first half because of just that, because of a

353
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 6: a quarterback that seasons will play and you're hearing will

354
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: play and you probably will. So therefore the first half

355
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 6: is the stronger bet. I know myself. Next week I

356
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 6: bet just based on socials and things I have read.

357
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 6: I have bet New England where I found uh you

358
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 6: know I found. I already found the line on New

359
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 6: England first half, which is unusual here we are not

360
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 6: games out till next Thursday. But so situationally, if I

361
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 6: know someone's starting or if someone's not starting, I will

362
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 6: look for a first half bet just as good as

363
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 6: a game bet. It's not stronger at certain situations. Now,

364
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 6: going back to what you're saying for the for the

365
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: regular season. Wow, you know, I'm all about futures and

366
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: betting lots of different things going into the regular season,

367
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 6: and you know, I think anything with plus money on

368
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 6: season wins the day of the pre sorry, the day

369
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 6: of the first game the first week might be some

370
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 6: some decent takes. What I mean by that is, you

371
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 6: know there's sports books that that are forced to overmove

372
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 6: lines normally on the overs on on teams. So I

373
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 6: think anything with some plus money it might be worth

374
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 6: a second look or a look at. And what I

375
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 6: mean like here, we have a couple of sportsbooks in

376
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 6: town here that you can actually take under, uh you know,

377
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 6: wins that you can actually use the alternative line taking

378
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 6: like two to one, two and a half to one,

379
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 6: even three to one, which I have some. I have

380
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 6: some some some teams that I actually did take uh

381
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 6: you know, some some plus money on. I would look

382
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: towards week one situationally at week one, when week ones

383
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 6: rolling around, I'm going that Sunday morning, right before game one,

384
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 6: or that Thursday, because there's a Thursday night game and

385
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 6: a Friday night game this year. I would look at

386
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 6: those teams to see if the sports books have overmoved

387
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 6: the overs on those season wins, and maybe grab up

388
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 6: some under money on some of them. And just to

389
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 6: let you know, some of the ones I put under

390
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 6: money on already. I bet under on the Chargers, under

391
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 6: on the Packers, under on the Giants, so I already

392
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 6: bet these already under or I found some good edges

393
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 6: and good lines. But I'll look again late late and

394
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 6: just like literally right before the games hour or two

395
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 6: before the games. We'll be on air on Countdown to

396
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 6: Kickoff that Sunday morning, but I'll also be looking doing

397
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 6: the commercials to see what of the sportsbooks may be.

398
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 6: Maybe actually give you an extra you know, twenty thirty

399
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 6: cents on juice to try to get some TakeBack on

400
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 6: their season wins and bet some more.

401
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: Unders crat great stuff. As always as usual, I wish

402
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: we had more time. Countdown to kick off your great

403
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000

Speaker 6: We start up again on August eighteenth, Sunday the eighteenth,

405
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 6: our first week, and.

406
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: We're going to go year round.

407
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 6: Now Countdown to kickoff, the Countdown to tip offf I.

408
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 6: I look really look forward to the preseason stuff on

409
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: the eighteenth. I'm sure I'll have a few things to

410
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 6: talk about before we go on. When we go on

411
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 6: air that night, there's still some games, so I really

412
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 6: appreciate it and look forward to speaking to you again, Bernie.

413
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me.

414
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: Out as always. We'll see you soon. Pal. That is

415
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: the legend of Bill Krackenberger, the crack Man, two other

416
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: very quick things. First year coaches in the preseason love

417
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: to win that first home game. Keep an eye on that.

418
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: That's been a moneymaker and when the regular season starts

419
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: Week one, divisional dogs, they've been about seventy three percent

420
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: the last eight years. I've gone on Jason McIntyre's podcast

421
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: the last three years, right before Week one, we've talked

422
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: about that. It seems to hit every year. This year,

423
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: I think there's only a couple. But the dogs look good,

424
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: good on both sides. Coming up, did you watch the

425
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: preseason kick out the Hall of Fame game Thursday night?

426
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: Things might have looked a little different. I want to

427
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 2: talk about that. But first let's go to a gentleman.

428
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: Well to describe him as John and for Senda would say,

429
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: would be to drain the vocabulary of superlatives. Let's say

430
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: hello to Dan Bayer. Dan, welcome in. It's always great

431
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: to have you on Saturday night. It's great to have you, Bernie,

432
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 2: be with you, Bernie.

433
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 7: It's great to be alongside you and hanging out and

434
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 7: getting ready for football season. We're all kind of kind

435
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 7: of getting that itch for sure, and you're laying down

436
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 7: some really good reasons to maybe lay down some coin

437
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 7: in those preseason matchups. No preseason football to talk about here,

438
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 7: we do have some football news. Tyreek Hill did restructure

439
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 7: his contract with the Miami Dolphins. It's a three year

440
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 7: restructure deal. Ninety million dollars now get sixty five million

441
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 7: dollars guaranteed as part of that restructuring. No New Year's

442
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 7: added onto Hills deal, but a little bit more money

443
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 7: up front. At the Olympics in Paris, Saturday was amazing,

444
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 7: especially for the United States, who brought home eighteen medals.

445
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 7: Simone Biles one gold in the vault, Katie Ledeki another gold,

446
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 7: her gold in the eight hundred meters historic in this fashion,

447
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 7: first woman to win an event four times in all

448
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 7: Big Games in just the seventh Olympian ever to accomplish

449
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 7: that feat. She now has nine goals in her career

450
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 7: fourteen medals overall. US women's soccer team won in dramatic

451
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 7: fashion on Saturday, while the US men's basketball team no dramas.

452
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 7: They were out in Puerto Rico. But the bracket is

453
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 7: now set. US will get the top seed. They'll end

454
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 7: up facing Brazil in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. Coming up

455
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 7: on Sunday, we can look ahead to John Rahm and

456
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 7: Xander Schaffli. It's off the leader board and he found

457
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 7: a round of men's golf, they are going for the gold.

458
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 2: Others is well in contention.

459
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 7: But at Shafley and ram right now at fourteen hunder

460
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 7: par gold metal match Novak Djokovic against Carlos Salkarez.

461
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: That should be good.

462
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 7: In US women's basketball team wraps up pool play taking

463
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 7: on Germany at eleven o'clock Eastern time. Jack Flerty went

464
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 7: seven innings, struck out seven, and allowed five hits in

465
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 7: zero earned runs as the Dodgers beat the Aist had

466
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 7: nothing in Flarity's debut for the Blue sho Heyo Toni

467
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 7: three steels joining the thirty thirty Club, Padres got past.

468
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: The Rockies three to two.

469
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 7: Mets well, they fell to the Angel spot for Meritors

470
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 7: rally and pick up a six to five win against

471
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 7: the Phillies in ten And I know our technical producer

472
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 7: Mark Ramsey probably doesn't want to hear this.

473
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: The White Sox have lost.

474
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 7: There at nineteenth straight, falling to the Twins on Saturday

475
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 7: six to two. Bud Crawford wins the unanimous decision to

476
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 7: claim the WBA Junior Middleway to title.

477
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 2: Bernie back to you, okay, Bud, good stuff Dan as always,

478
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: Hey folks, did you watch the Hall of Fame game

479
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: Thursday night, you saw a distinctive difference. Hold that thought.

480
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come back to it in a big way.

481
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: But I want to draw an analogy. Years ago, Tim

482
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: Russert was interviewing Whitey Ford and Yogi Bearra, and Russer

483
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: looked at Ford and said, Whitey, can you tell me

484
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 2: your favorite Yogi Bearra story? And Whitey said, that's easy.

485
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: We call it the four ball story. Took place back

486
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: in the day where I was pitching against the White Sox,

487
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: and first pitch of the game, Louis Aparicio, Hall of

488
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: Famer Louisi Aparicio dumped the perfect bunt for a base hit.

489
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: Up comes Nelly Fox. First pitch doubles off the wall.

490
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: Two pitches, two hitters, men on second and third. Nobody out.

491
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: Al Smith, the third hitter digs in white. He snaps

492
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: off a curveball hits him in the knee. Al Smith

493
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: takes first base. Three hitters, three pitches, bases loaded, nobody out.

494
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: Up comes Ted Klezuski with those big guns. First pitch

495
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: fastball deposits it four hundred and sixty feet into the

496
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: center field bleachers. Four pitches, four hitters four nothing nobody out.

497
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: Yankees manager Casey Stinkle comes out to the mound livid.

498
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: He looks at Whitey, He looks at Yogi. He looks

499
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: back at Whitey. He looks back at Yogi. Says, Yogi,

500
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: what the hell's going on around here? Does Whitey have

501
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: anything tonight? Yogi goes, how the heck do I know?

502
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: I haven't caught a single pitch yet. Take a look

503
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: at that kickoff. Everybody was nonplus about what is this? Yeah?

504
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: I get it. It looks weird. It's a radical change.

505
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: The changes were made in hopes of limiting the high

506
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: speed collisions, but also trying to incentivize teams to return

507
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: the ball more. You know, last year seventy eight percent

508
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: of all kickoffs were touchbacks. That doesn't it make for

509
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: exciting kickoff? And just a few years before that eighty

510
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: percent were returned, and just the year before last year

511
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: almost forty percent were returned, so it's dramatically down. As

512
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, there were only four kickoffs returned

513
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: for touchdowns the entire season in twenty twenty three, but

514
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Thursday Night, of the eight kickoffs, seven were

515
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: actually at least return Now give special teams coordinators time

516
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: to figure this out. They don't know what the best

517
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: strategy is, and let's be honest. Thursday night's game was

518
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: played by a bunch of well intentioned finance athletes that

519
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: will most likely be working in NAPA Auto Parts in

520
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: about a month. Muhing wrong with that. Good clean work,

521
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: good Christian values, But they're probably not NFL players. So

522
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: what do you expect the special team coaches to do.

523
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: You've got coverage players. They can't move until the ball

524
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: hits the ground or a returner catches it in the

525
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: landing zone, so hangtime is no longer a key factor.

526
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: And kicks and kicks it hit the ground on the

527
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: landing zone and get into the end zone. Well, that'll

528
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: be ideal since those touchbacks only give the return team

529
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: the ball to twenty. But the danger will be that

530
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: if you kick it into the end zone, the return

531
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: team is going to get the ball to forty. So

532
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: look for returners. As this thing starts to evolve, the

533
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: play might look a little bit more like a traditional

534
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: running player than the old kickoff return. So I'm wondering

535
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: a couple of things. Might we see more running backs

536
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: as returners, so you can capitalize on their ability to

537
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: find a hole better than some of these returners or

538
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: receivers or bigger guys that you know are just special teams guys.

539
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, special teams are very important, very

540
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: important in football, even in high school football. They're played

541
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: football past high school. But you want to make a team,

542
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: you want to impress a coach, blow somebody up on

543
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: special teams. I never want to kickoff to go away

544
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: after they got to figure this out once and for all,

545
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: and this is only a one year experiment, but I'm

546
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: you know, in their efforts to overhaul the kickoff to

547
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: revive a player that used to have a lot of excitement.

548
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: I hope it works. I hope they find a happy medium.

549
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: Ashtuell Davis if if special teams is important, the Denver

550
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: Broncos are playing a game in Japan. He was going nowhere.

551
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: It was all set to get cut. Didn't even want

552
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: to suit up that night. Tried to call the airlines

553
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: to catch a flight home early, couldn't get one suits up.

554
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: He's on the sidelines. They put him into the third quarter.

555
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: He blew up a guy on special teams. The rest

556
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: is history. Ryan Clark will tell you the same story.

557
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: So give this a chance to work. Now, the standard

558
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: kicks are still going to begin from the thirty five,

559
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: but everything else looks radically different. Honestly, I knew this

560
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: was coming. And when I looked at the screen and say, whoa, whoa,

561
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: you got ten kick coverage players that are lining up

562
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: twenty five yards away at the opposing team's forty. You

563
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: have five on each side of the field. Then the

564
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: return team, they've got nine blockers lined up what's called

565
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: the setup zone between the thirty and thirty five yard line,

566
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: But at least seven of those players have to touch

567
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: the thirty five yard line, so you could have up

568
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: to two returners. They have to line up inside the twenty,

569
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: so before the ball is actually kicked, only the kicker

570
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: and the two returners are allowed to move around until

571
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: the ball hits the ground or is touched or caught

572
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: by returner inside the twenty. And as I said, any

573
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: kick that reaches the end zone in the air can

574
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: be returned or the receiving team can offer a touchback

575
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: and take possession at the thirty. The bottom line, let's

576
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: give this a chance to work. Coming up, guess who

577
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: turned forty seven today and he hasn't ruled out a comeback.

578
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: Do we think it's gonna happen? No? But can you

579
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: rule it out? No? I'm Bernie Fraddle. Where coming your

Speaker 2: last year major lawsuit on the horizon got a quick

592
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: upcap recap later of a couple of teams in the

593
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball trade deadline updates that I think are

594
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: very significant. Don't forget. In the final hour, we've got

595
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool you? Followed by what

596
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: my name? I'm going to take a quick look at

597
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: this Canadian soccer cheating scandal, preview a couple of NFL divisions.

598
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: By the way, my good buddy Andy Furman's going to

599
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: join us in the final segment of the show. I

600
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 2: don't know if you've got a chance to see the

601
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: Pete Rose documentary. It's terrific that I maybe learn anything, No,

602
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: but it brings you back down memory lane and reminds

603
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: us of the complex nature of Pete Rose, who's now

604
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: eighty three years young. But as we look to football,

605
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: and by the way, I'm going to get to it

606
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: a second. Yeah, I guess who turned forty seven today?

607
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: Well was August third when I signed down. It's still

608
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: August third here in Las Vegas at eleven forty eight pm.

609
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: He turned forty seven to I'm going to get to

610
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: that in a minute. Two other quick things. When the

611
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: Texans played the Bears Thursday night, the Bears were catching

612
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: two points, and if you like to bet preseason, for

613
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: what it's worth, history tells us that underdogs that close

614
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: plus two or shorter with the line that opened up

615
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: inside of three, as was the case between the Bears

616
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: and Texans, and the final score ended up being twenty

617
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: one to seventeen Bears. There are some books that paid

618
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: the bets, some didn't. The underdog that's getting two points

619
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 2: or less covers about sixty four percent of the time,

620
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: and that goes back to twenty twelve and then covered

621
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: by two point two points per game. Well, the Bears

622
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: did exactly that. They covered by four actually more than that,

623
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: for what it's worth. By the way, the Bears were

624
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: five to one against the spread under Matt Eberflus. He

625
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: likes to win preseason games. So just the thought, as

626
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: you see these short lines, more often than not, the

627
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: dog is the value. Something else fascinated as we look

628
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: end of the season this year and all the storylines,

629
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: not the least of which he's going to be Aaron

630
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: Rodgers in the New York Jets and that whole gosh

631
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: darn soap opera. Their first practice and pads went very

632
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: poorly on Monday, at least in the eyes of Aaron Rodgers.

633
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: He was not afraid to let his teammates know it.

634
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 2: He was visibly upset, and it might not have played

635
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: so well because people were not happy that he decided

636
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: to go to Egypt instead of Mini Camp and I

637
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: understand he bought the ticket and it was paid for

638
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: and he had it all planned. You know, when he

639
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: got three hundred million in the bank or whatever you've made,

640
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: I think you can maybe pay the change fees. Wasn't

641
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 2: a good look. I covered the Lions for ten years.

642
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: Mini camp's important. It's very important, and even preseasons important.

643
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: I hear people minimizing it. If you don't think preseason

644
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: is important, you haven't covered an NFL team. I realized

645
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: there's only about two roster spots that are open. But

646
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: let me tell you position coaches that like to track

647
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: the progress of their first, second, and third round draft

648
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: choices from year to year. You do that in live

649
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: bullets against an opponent with real referees and when they

650
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: keep it score as opposed to a scrimmage. The second

651
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: thing is coaches like to decide position battles a lot

652
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: of times in preseason during a live game. Just sharing,

653
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 2: by the way, one other thing will a lot of

654
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: talk about Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. I would listen.

655
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: I think Led Zeppel will re record the Gilligan Z

656
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 2: Island theme song and Cela million copies before Justin Fields

657
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: will start in front of Russell Wilson. It's not gonna happen.

658
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: We'll go into that later. You know, I like justin fields.

659
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 2: The problem is you can't read a defense. His recognition's poor.

660
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: He takes too long to get rid of the ball

661
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 2: and he's not accurate. And that's why he's ten and

662
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: thirty eight. Now you know he let's I do like

663
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: the guy, though he conducts himself like a pro. Here's

664
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: an interesting factoid. You can impress your friends around the

665
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 2: water cooler. Remarkably, if Russell Wilson starts Week two against

666
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: his former team, the Denver Broncos, Russell Wilson would be

667
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: playing against the team. He'll be the first player in

668
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: history to face an opponent or the opponent is paying

669
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: for eighty seven percent of his salary. Put that your

670
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: pipe and smoke it. So mark the calendar for week two.

671
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 2: The Steelers visit Denver, and Denver will be paying eighty

672
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: seven percent of his salary to compete against them. All right,

673
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: there's a mouthful. We're all excited. Football's here. Come on,

674
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: let's face it. Earlier this year, Tom Brady kicked the

675
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 2: door open, kept the door open, then shut the door

676
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: on possibly Okay. Again, the operative word here is possibly

677
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: for those who selectively listen returning to the NFL during

678
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season. He has yet to completely

679
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: say no, not no, hell no, not up in here. No,

680
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: he hasn't said that. Tom Brady turned forty seven years

681
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: old today August third, believe it or not. If Brady

682
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: were to come back for any reason, and do I

683
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: think it's gonna happen, No, But would I make it

684
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: a zero. No. He'd be the third person to play

685
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: NFL football at age forty seven, but he'd be the

686
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: first quarterback to play at that age. Now, people I

687
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 2: talk do say if he had to, he still could.

688
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: His arm is still strong. It's going to be strong

689
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: till he's fifty. As far as mobility, yeah, you can

690
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 2: say Brady's lost mobility, but he never had any. I

691
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: covered him at Michigan. He didn't have any there, and

692
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: he was brilliant, brilliant even if he was behind Brian Greasy.

693
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: He would pick apart the first team defense that went

694
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: undefeated in nineteen ninety seven. But even then he had

695
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: the mobility of an upright vacuum cleaner. But the truth

696
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 2: of the matter is as his career went on, Brady

697
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: had perfected the yard of sensing a collapsing pocket. He

698
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: gets the ball out of his hands so quick before

699
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: he gets blown up. He frustrates teams every day, all day.

700
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 2: That's why he went to so many Super Bowls and

701
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 2: won so many. Now we all know Tom Brady will

702
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: start working for Fox this year. Got a plumb game

703
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: week on the Cowboys visit Cleveland and that coveted four

704
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: pm Eastern game that he always gets very high ratings. Okay,

705
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 2: but I believe Tom Brady will follow current quarterback play

706
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: closely because if he decides to come back, he'll be

707
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 2: more inclined to come back once he sees what current

708
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: players are doing and if he realizes he could do better.

709
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 2: Where would he fit well. Charlie Weiss once said that

710
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 2: if he were with a forty nine ers this year,

711
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: Brady would be a top five quarterback. I know the

712
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: Niners don't need him, but last year they were interested,

713
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: and I hope I'm rooting for Brock Purdy. But if

714
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: a quarterback goes down, will Brady's phone ring? It's going

715
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: to depend the backup and the situation and other options.

716
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: And it also hinges on the willingness of a team

717
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 2: to bring him in and let him play right away.

718
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: Is it possible? Yeah? Is it likely? I don't think so,

719
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: but it's fun to talk about and Brady hasn't shut

720
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 2: the door yet. Coming up, Mark Medina, Medina Magic. You're

721
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 2: listening to Theernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Keep

722
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: it locked.

723
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

724

Speaker 2: The US on their way to the metal round. What

732
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: a shock. But every Saturday night at midnight, fifty two

733
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 2: weeks out of the year, there's always news. Three simple words,

734
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: It's that time. Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru,

735
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Mark, how are you, Bernie?

736
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 8: I'm doing well. Hey, I have a question for you.

737
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 8: HASUSA entertain need this past week with its basketball performances.

738
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: Well, it has been boring, but it was very much expected.

739
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 2: When we signed off last week, I said they'd be three.

740
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't predict they'd have a sixty one

741
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: point margin. But I've said all along, no one's beating

742
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: his team. They're too deep, they're two athletic. They have

743
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: the best running jump athletes in the world. Let's look ahead.

744
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: Because I also tongue in cheek a couple of weeks ago,

745
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 2: but it really wasn't tongue in cheek. I thought Steve

746
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 2: Kerb might deserve a raise, and he wanted to lock

747
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 2: down the number one seed. And as you can see

748
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: the remaining teams in the field, the US is going

749
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: to benefit from that. Shouldn't Steve Kerb be getting a

750
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: little bit more flowers than he's getting.

751
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 8: Oh, it's out of doubt. But look, you know, I

752
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 8: think whether it's Steve Kerr or any of the players,

753
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 8: they're only going to be evaluated if they fail, not

754
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 8: if they succeed, because the expectations that they win what

755
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 8: would be their fifth consecutive gold medal. But I think

756
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 8: that yere onto something that that's not so simple. As well,

757
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 8: you have twelve Hall of fame on your roster. Anyone

758
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 8: can do it. I think, on one hand, yes, you

759
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 8: necessarily can't go wrong with any rotation, starting lineup and

760
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 8: lineup combination. So that's why I thought the early criticism

761
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 8: of Steve Kerr was a little much. But I think

762
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 8: at the same time, you have to manage personalities, you

763
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 8: have to find the right matchups, and I think that

764
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 8: he's been able to do that. He's been very flexible

765
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 8: with changing, you know, lineups depending on matchups and also

766
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 8: just trying to keep the team engaged. And we've seen

767
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 8: a much different product than what we saw in the exhibition,

768
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 8: where you know, there's a lot more continuity, a lot

769
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 8: more chemistry, and again talent prevails. But this team is

770
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 8: put up in a microwave and expected to be a

771
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 8: gourmet meal just because it has good ingredients, and that

772
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 8: doesn't always happen.

773
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's very true, and I do agree that they

774
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: certainly look much better now there's been better balls distribution

775
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: and as it were, I agree with that. So let's

776
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 2: look ahead to their opponent Tuesday, Brazil. They shot the

777
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 2: heck out of the ball against Japan, but come on,

778
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 2: they're led by a forty one year old point guard

779
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: and they.

780
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 8: Have ale of it.

781
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's got to call it as I see it.

782
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 2: I just can't see the US losing to Brazil. You've

783
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: been pretty fair and objective about this, though. Give me

784
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 2: a scenario where Brazil upsets the US.

785
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 8: Oh, let's see the scenario as we hear some news

786
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 8: about a tournament ending injury to Lebron James, Kevin Durant

787
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 8: and Steph Curry. I don't think that's gonna happen. So

788
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 8: there's no scenario that the US loses to Brazil.

789
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: Well one, there's one actually, if the team contracts malaria then.

790
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 8: Okay, so there's two unlikely scenarios, right. I think they're

791
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 8: gonna win Tuesday, regardless of whether it's you know, a

792
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 8: blowout win or a close wind beautiful ugly. I think,

793
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 8: you know, the questions moving forward is really in the

794
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 8: gold medal game, whether it's Germany or Canada. Can they

795
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 8: survive those two teams?

796
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 2: They're really hold that fut before we get to that, Okay,

797
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: because let's take it a step at a time. Because

798
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 2: let's assume that the US advances past Brazil, they would

799
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 2: play the winner of Australia Serbia now they've already beaten

800
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: Serbia by twenty points twice this year. Okay, Australia is

801
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: a nice looking club. They're not beating Australia. I could

802
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: either one of those teams upset the US. Could you

803
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: see that scenario?

804
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 8: No, Serbia only has Nikoleoka. Australia has a better chance

805
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 8: because they have more NBA talent. You look at players

806
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 8: like Josh Giddy and Dante Exam, Dythan Daniels. These are

807
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 8: legitimate rotation players, but again doesn't match up with players

808
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 8: like Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and their amazing bench.

809
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's really going to come down to cam

810
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 8: out of Germany, and I don't think. I don't think again,

811
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 8: barring serious injury, that that's going to happen. But I

812
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 8: think they can at least give them good tests where

813
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 8: it's competitive. There could be similar to what we saw

814
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 8: in twenty eight and twenty twelve with Spain against the US.

815
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 8: Legitimate team, a lot of good continuity, a lot of

816
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 8: good NBA talent, so make for a competitive matchup, but

817
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 8: the US will prevail well.

818
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: Germany was second to the US in terms of point

819
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: differential at plus forty seven. And to your point, through

820
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: the other two undefeated teams in pool play, they're on

821
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 2: the other side of the bracket, which means the US

822
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: only has to be one of them to win the goal.

823
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: That's why I give kur Al out of credit. He

824
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 2: wanted a lockdown the number one seed and this is

825
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: how they benefit. So I think last week, and I'm

826
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: in agreement with you, you're frankly, you're expecting candidate to

827
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 2: advance to the final game. Is that fair?

828
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I without a doubt because you go to Alexanderson

829
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 8: playing at an MVP level. RJ Barracks, I think has

830
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 8: really taken his to another level, being able to be

831
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 8: physical and aggressive. Dylan Brooks he's an efficient shooter and

832
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 8: a great defender at least in these games. And Lou

833
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 8: Dort is another physical defender. So I think those four

834
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 8: players have been so effective that even Jamal Murray not

835
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 8: playing as best, it hasn't really mattered.

836
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's not forget Canada beat the US last year.

837
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: So if we fast forward to this and the game

838
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: will have been played by the time we get to

839
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: this segment next Saturday night, what is a potential scenario

840
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: where Canada could beat the US. I think that's these

841
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: two teams played ten times. The US beats him nine,

842
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 2: maybe nine and a half. But it could happen. Okay,

843
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: it could happen. I think it's the only team in

844
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,959
Speaker 2: the tournament because what the Canada has, what eleven NBA

845
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: players may have good ones.

846
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, they have a perimeter orient in lineup. So the

847
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 8: scenario that Canada beats the US, so they get really

848
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 8: hot from three, I think because it's a perimeter orient

849
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 8: in lineup, I don't think Joelmbiat will play a lot

850
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 8: of minutes. I think Temiosi could go small, but I

851
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 8: think that even presuming they do that, if Canada catches

852
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 8: lighting in a bottle and just goes lights down from deep,

853
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 8: then it could be over. But again, the US has

854
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 8: a lot of continuity, and even with how dominant their

855
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 8: starting lineup is, their bench is even arguably greater because

856
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 8: they have Kevin Durant coming off the bench, even though

857
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 8: he's tmosa's all time lying score, but because of his injury,

858
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 8: they've decided it's better to manage his workload that way.

859
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 8: Anthony Edwards, as we saw against Puerto Rico, today, he's

860
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 8: been a really dynamic score. But then when you look

861
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 8: at the starting lineup, you know it starts with Lebron James.

862
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 8: But even Steph Curry not making shots, he's a great

863
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 8: four spacer, great playmaker. Devin Booker is all of a

864
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 8: sudden the defensive special. It's when Drew Holliday presumably comes back.

865
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 8: He's another two way player. And Anthony Davis has been

866
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 8: the Anthony Davis that we saw in the bubble when

867
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 8: the Lakers won the championships. So there's just a lot

868
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 8: of good pieces. I should also throw Bam out out

869
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 8: of Bio out there as far as what he's provided

870
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 8: as a mobile big man in the second unit. So

871
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 8: they just have a lot of unstoppable weapons across the board.

872
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: One last thing about Steve Kerr. I hesitated to bring

873
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 2: this up, but I'm going to. Folks had raised an

874
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: eyebrow when Jason Tatum didn't play and then the situation

875
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 2: with Joel Embiid. But I think what Kerr has done

876
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 2: is makes sense to the fact that he's putting guys

877
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: in their usual roles as he sees the matchups evolved. Now,

878
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: most of the consternation was outside the Avery Tower tickets

879
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 2: inside the Averay Tower Mark. I can't imagine that we

880
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: were any disgruntled players. Was too much made of that.

881
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't recall Jason Tatum say anything. I know Jalen

882
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: Brown won't shut up, but Jason Tatum seems to have

883
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: handled quite well.

884
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

885
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 8: Well, Jason Tatum, he said it was a humbling experience.

886
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 8: I mean, he won a championship, he got, you know,

887
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 8: a max extension, he was on the cover of Sports

888
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 8: Illustrated cover on the NBA two K video game. I mean,

889
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 8: so it's not like he was thrilled with getting a

890
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 8: help for DMP, but he knows what he was signing

891
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 8: up for. It's the Olympics, and you know, it's not

892
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 8: like he's getting benched in favor of, you know, guys

893
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 8: that aren't at the same level as him. And even

894
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 8: though Derek White, who's on the Celtics and obviously isn't

895
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 8: in the same pecking order as Jason Tatum, I think

896
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 8: just illustrates that the US Olympic team is not an

897
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 8: all star team. It's about managing combinations. And I think

898
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 8: Steve Kerr said really well that it's not a matter

899
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 8: of putting the best five scores in your starting lineup,

900
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 8: because then they don't coexist. Well, it's about finding the

901
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 8: right chemistry pieces. So with all that said, I was

902
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 8: surprised that Jason Tatum came back in the starting lineup

903
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 8: only because it came at the expense of Drew Holliday.

904
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 8: But I think one it was a way to just

905
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 8: keep everyone engaged. And two, you know, they were cognizant

906
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 8: that South Sudan plays at a fast tempo and so

907
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 8: they wanted to react accordingly, most notably with having Anthony

908
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 8: Davis star instead of Joe Indeed, so I think the

909
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 8: fact that they made a change at the center spot,

910
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 8: it made a little easier for Steve Kerr to make

911
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 8: another spot change in the starting lineup with Jayson Tatum's

912
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 8: out Drew Holliday. But I think it's really about matchups

913
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 8: and then just trying to give guys a chance to

914
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 8: play because it is the Olympics and at that point

915
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 8: it was just group play. But I think moving forward,

916
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 8: you know, Drew Holidays expected to be back from his

917
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 8: ankle injury and he'll have that starring lineup spot for

918
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 8: a good moving forward.

919
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 2: Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic Our Fox, Sports Radio

920
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 2: NBA guru. You hear him every Saturday night. It had been

921
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: that Pacific time here on the Bernie Fradis Show, and

922
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 2: you are right. Jason Tatum said not playing was humbling,

923
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 2: but he also said he wouldn't hold a grudge. Yeah,

924
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 2: give it up to Drew Holiday, who's not complained about

925
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: being in out of the lineup. And let's also not

926
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: forget Kevin Durant, the all time leading scorer and rebound

927
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: on the history of men's Olympics, is not only coming

928
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,720
Speaker 2: off the bench. He says he's fine coming off the bench.

929
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 2: So got to give credit where credit easy. Yeah.

930
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, And Bernie, I would add, he's just not saying

931
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 8: he's fine with it. He was praising Steve Kerr for

932
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 8: how he's managing the rotations. And I think that I

933
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 8: didn't have this in one bingo card that Kevin Durant

934
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 8: would be coming off the bench. I thought it was

935
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 8: a definitive that Lebron Steph and Durant were starting. But

936
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 8: it makes sense because he's coming off the injury. They

937
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 8: want to manage that workload. But I think it's also

938
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 8: about he's such an efficient score that gives them such

939
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 8: a unique weapon that's very unstoppable, and again he would

940
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 8: provide the same thing in the starting lineup. But because

941
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,720
Speaker 8: they have Lebron James and Anthony Davis or Joel Embiid

942
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 8: handling a lot of scoring punch and Steph Curry presuming

943
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 8: his shooting slump goes away, they don't need that scoring

944
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 8: as much as they would with the second unit because

945
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 8: the second unit obviously doesn't have as much of scoring talent.

946
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: Interesting story coming out of Los Angeles involving Kobe Bryant.

947
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: When the Staples Center did their renovation in twenty eighteen,

948
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: a maintenance worker decided to save Kobe Bryant's locker from demolition.

949
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: He kept it intact sold to a private collector. It

950
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 2: was auctioned off at Sofies the other day for two

951
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 2: point nine million dollars. Kobe's locker. Your thoughts on that story.

952
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 8: Well, it's not surprising, I mean, anything involving Kobe Bryant

953
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 8: will have a lot of interest in the market because

954
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 8: of what he mentioned the Lakers. Obviously there's, you know,

955
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 8: the tragedy component to him not being here for the

956
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 8: last four years. So it's not surprising that his locker

957
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 8: would sell for that amount of money. I think what's

958
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 8: surprising is that it hasn't been kept and retained, but

959
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 8: you know, it is what it is, and at least

960
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 8: a portion of those sales proceeds are actually going to

961
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 8: help the Lakers Youth Foundation final thing.

962
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: And I know you're a busy guy, but you get around.

963
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 2: There was a statue depicting Kobe Bryant and his daughter.

964
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 2: It was unveiled in a ceremony Friday outside of Crypto Arena.

965
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 2: I know you attended the ceremony back in February. Were

966
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: you able to attend that statue ceremony as well?

967
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 8: It was a private ceremony, you know, per Vanessa's wishes.

968
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 8: That was much different than it was when the Lakers

969
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 8: unveiled Kobe's number eight jersey during last season in March.

970
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 8: But it's a beautiful statue. It shows, you know, Kobe

971
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 8: and Gianna. And the image of that was when he

972
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 8: was at a Lakers regular season game against the Dallas

973
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 8: Mavericks in late December of twenty nineteen. That was his

974
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 8: last public appearance at a Laker game before his trategy

975
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 8: less than a month later. And it was just really

976
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 8: surreal because I was at that game, and I remember

977
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 8: catching up with him because we were going to link

978
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 8: up for an interview about you know, just life after

979
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 8: basketball and what he was doing post NBA career with

980
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 8: all his different projects. So, you know, we had that interview.

981
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 8: But you know, all these different moments of his just

982
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 8: brings a lot of you know, obviously some some nostalgic feelings,

983
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,479
Speaker 8: but also some wistful reminders of the tragedy four years ago.

984
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: Mark, great stuff as always. Next Saturday night, the Olympics

985
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: will be a FATA complete. We'll see what the final is.

986
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say USA beats Canada, not exactly going on

987
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 2: on a limit, and we'll look forward to hearing from

988
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 2: you as perhaps you are. You know, are there any

989
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: other deals lurking in the weeds between now and the

990
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: start of the season, And I want to get your

991
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 2: thoughts on this rookie class. There are some varying opinions,

992
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 2: including Alex Aar.

993
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 8: Wows good, Well TVSA doesn't entertaining this week at least

1007
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 2: deadline has come and gone, but there are two teams

1008
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 2: that I know Major League Baseball would dearly love to

1009
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: see in the World Series facing off each other against

1010
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 2: each other. They haven't done it since nineteen eighty one.

1011
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: One I believe made the best overall trade at the

1012
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: deadline right at the buzzer. The other, well, at least

1013
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: so far, seem to linked in their lineup and add

1014
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: some speed and athleticism which they needed. We'll get to

1015
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: that coming up. I'm Bernie Frattle. We are company live

1016
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirect dot com studios.

1017

Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here. You're listening to The Bernie

1018
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 2: Fratter Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right back on

1019
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from

1020
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 2: the Tirak dot Com studios here in a Las Vegas.

1021
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 2: Take it to three m Pacific, six am Eastern. The

1022
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 2: trade deadline for Major League Baseball has come and gone.

1023
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 2: You may have noticed Jack flaherity six excellent innings in

1024
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 2: Oakland tonight in front a thirty five thousand fans. That's

1025
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 2: like a good month for that stadium. Struck out seven,

1026
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 2: walked one and was the type of dominant force that

1027
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are going to need down the stretch. The Dodgers,

1028
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 2: I believe, ended up with the best overall trade of

1029
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 2: the entire deadline, and it was right at the buzzer

1030
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 2: when they managed to acquire Jack Flaherty from the Tigers

1031
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 2: for really not a lot in return. I think the

1032
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 2: Yankees got cold feet at the end because Flarity had

1033
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 2: been on the injured list and there were some questions,

1034
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 2: but the Dodgers took a chance. In so far after

1035
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 2: one game, it's working out because Flarity he's been pitching

1036
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: like he did back in twenty nineteen when he finished

1037
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 2: fourth in the National League Sale Young Award voting. Now,

1038
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays ironically got more for Usa Kakuchi from

1039
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: the Astros than the Tigers got for Flarity from the Dodgers. Well,

1040
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: maybe the Tigers know something I don't know, but I

1041
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 2: think Flarity could be he could turn out to be

1042
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 2: the best starting pitcher traded at the deadline. And I

1043
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 2: also think the Dodgers deserve some credit for landing another

1044
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 2: power reliever in Michael Kopek. And they actually, you know,

1045
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: did improve their roster depth. They got Tommy Edmund Ahmed Rosario.

1046
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 2: They can both play multiple positions. Edmond can start at

1047
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 2: second base, er in centerfield. He has thirteen home runs

1048
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 2: and he's a base stealer. He hasn't played this year

1049
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 2: because of injuries. But look, you hear Jason Stewart every day,

1050
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 2: and I love Jason. I respect him very honest. Andrew

1051
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 2: Friedman's done a great job in the regular season, but

1052
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 2: when it comes to the postseason, they might be happier

1053
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 2: with Kinky Friedman. God rest his soul. But here's the

1054
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 2: bottom line. The Dodgers are poised to win this year

1055
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 2: like they are every year, So there are genuine, genuine

1056
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 2: expectations and I think it would be fabulous for baseball

1057
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 2: to see the number two market against the number one market.

1058
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 2: That would mean that the New York Yankees have to

1059
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 2: find a way to limp across the finish line and

1060
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 2: have success in October. Can they do it? I don't know.

1061
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. The Yankees they went into the trade

1062
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 2: deadline needing to add depth in their lineup. It was

1063
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: too top heavy. Not only that, they needed to add

1064
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 2: some spark and excitement and speed and athleticism. They did

1065
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 2: all those things. They got Jazz Chisholm. He's a power

1066
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,959
Speaker 2: hitter if he pulls the ball, which is a great

1067
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 2: fit for Yankee Stadium with the short porch. Put him

1068
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: in that clubhouse. He has a big personality. He's gonna

1069
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 2: fit right in with Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, and

1070
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 2: I think he's a professional. It's going to be an

1071
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: influence in that locker. He's only twenty six years old. Well,

1072
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,959
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. Chisholm may be really starting into

1073
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 2: his prime years. He could develop into an All Star

1074
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 2: year after year after year. And give Aaron Boone credit

1075
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: because he put Chisholm with third base, even though he'd

1076
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 2: never played the position in the big leagues, but after

1077
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 2: making a couple of seamless plays in his opening night,

1078
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: it looks like that might even be the best spot

1079
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 2: for Chisholm. He was a shortstop, so if you are

1080
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: athletic enough and have the hands and the fluidity and

1081
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 2: the habits to be a major league shortstop, you can

1082
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: move to third base. He was a shortstop, so you

1083
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 2: keep him on the left side of the infield. It's

1084
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: not like he's a fish out of water, not by

1085
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 2: a long shot. I know that the scouts regard him

1086
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 2: as a below average defender at shortstop and even in

1087
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 2: center field, but if you put him at third base

1088
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: in a corner position like that, he could be seen

1089
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 2: as a plus defender. And by the way, the Yankees

1090
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 2: also bolstered their bullpen. They got Mark Letter Junior, who

1091
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 2: hasn't allowed a hit or a run in his past

1092
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 2: seven appearances, and he was traded so at the trade deadline.

1093
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 2: I think you have to give your flowers to both

1094
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Dodgers. But there's a long way

1095
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 2: to go. But both teams made themselves better. Might that

1096
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: lead to a postseason showdown of the likes we enjoyed

1097
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty one during the strike shortened season, when

1098
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: the Dodgers got their come up against the Yankees after

1099
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 2: the Yankees had beatn the Dodgers twice in seventy seven

1100
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 2: and seventy eight. Those were epic series. It would be

1101
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 2: at epic series if it was New York in La.

1102
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 2: Do I think it's gonna happen. I think it's got

1103
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: less well less than a fifty percent chance. But you know,

1104
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 2: nobody had the Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series last year, eater,

1105
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 2: so anything can happen. That's the beauty of baseball. You

1106
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 2: learn to expect the unexpected.

1107
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 4: Hell.

1108
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: Bob Ucker once hit a home run off Sandy Koefax

1109
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 2: coming up. A Big ten football coach who got out

1110
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 2: of the gate quick by beating Michigan in back to

1111
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,479
Speaker 2: back years, which put him on the on the mount.

1112
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 2: Rushmore of Michigan state coaches, is now suing his former employer.

1113
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up. The first. Let's go

1114
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 2: back to our guy, the Dulce Tones with the great

1115
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 2: Dan Byer. Thanks Bernie.

1116
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 7: The Dodgers got back on the winning track on Saturday

1117
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 7: night with a ten to nothing win against the Oakland

1118
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,360

Speaker 7: joins the thirty thirty club and Jack Flaherty six innings

1120

01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 7: earned runs in his Dodgers debut. Dodgers still four and

1122
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 7: a half games up on the Padres. In the nl WES,

1123
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,760

Speaker 7: and get a six to five victory against the Phillies

1126
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 7: that was in ten innings, and baseball's longest losing streak

1127
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 7: continues now nineteen games for the White Sox. Twins beat

1128
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,200

01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 7: Mans Our technical producer Mark Ramsey, a White Sox fan,

1156
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 7: the baseball draft to.

1157
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Look forward to next year. Well, in the words of

1158
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Alfred Lutter of Bad News Bearers, Fame Rome wasn't built

1159
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 2: in a day. In fact, that several hundred years. But

1160
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 2: I digress. You know, Dan, as you know, I'm in

1161
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 2: the car a lot between noon and one, and you

1162
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 2: guys do a fabulous jobs. Doug Gottleiave's support crew, and

1163
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 2: you brought up a great topic the other day. I

1164
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 2: really wanted to weigh in. You talked about your least

1165
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 2: favorite thing of football practice since teams are just in

1166
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 2: camp mount. Yes, yes, yeah, we did that in game time.

1167
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: I loved it, and I just I don't know if

1168
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 2: this qualifies, but I will never forget this because we'd

1169
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 2: always start about August tenth every year. Went to high

1170
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 2: school in southern California, and the first day you wake

1171
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 2: up after your first day in pads when you start

1172
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 2: two days and we had water helmets back then, and

1173
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 2: it looked like someone drew a line with a magic

1174
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 2: mark across my forehead. And then it always took a

1175
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 2: practices to get the straps under the shoulder pads right.

1176
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 2: I had. You know, my arms were rubbed raw ag

1177
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 2: arm pits. It hurt like hell, even if you wore

1178
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 2: a T shirt. And then the stupid knee pads never

1179
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 2: fit right. It took a few days, but that first day,

1180
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 2: you know, you're hitting like crazy. Nutcracker drills the Oklahoma

1181
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 2: Drill Bowl, in the ring. We did it all right.

1182
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: And that first day when you wake up the next

1183
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: day after your first day in pads, I'll never forget it.

1184
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, it's yeah, it is never fun.

1185
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 7: We did a draft on the Doug Gottlieb Show, drafting

1186
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 7: the worst parts about football practice. We probably could have

1187
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 7: done a four or five round draft. We just did

1188
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 7: two of them. That is absolutely one. Just the mark

1189
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 7: on your forehead for your helmet, and I assume it's

1190
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 7: probably still like this today. I just feel that they

1191
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 7: have better helmets. But coaches were always like, keep your

1192
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 7: helmet on, keep your helmet on. And it hurt because

1193
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 7: those helmets were just awful.

1194
01:05:58,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 2: Bernie.

1195
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 7: I probably still have a permanent mark on my forehead

1196
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 7: for the helmets that I wore to high school.

1197
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: That was bad.

1198
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 7: My thing was coaches never letting me get water, right,

1199
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 7: that was one back then and now obviously it's a

1200
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 7: health concern, but yeah, you were not You were not

1201
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 7: allowed to have water.

1202
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 2: Water was like a treat.

1203
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 7: It was just I've always said you had to love

1204
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 7: football to play football. And that's why I admire all

1205
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 7: these guys, especially the guys who play in D three

1206
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 7: and then the smaller schools that aren't getting nil money,

1207
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 7: aren't going on scholarship, but they love to play football.

1208
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 7: Because there's nothing worse to me than practicing football. It

1209
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 7: was the worst, Bernie. Yep, it was the worst I

1210
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 7: to this day, honest to god. And I played my

1211
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 7: last year in high school fotball in the mid seventies

1212
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 7: and it was different than you know.

1213
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 2: The water deal and the way we hit, and they

1214
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 2: taught you to tackle with your helmet back then. Thank god,

1215
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 2: we're not all paralyzed. But I wake up sometimes in

1216
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 2: the middle of the night thinking, oh wait, is there

1217
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 2: life after practice? I wake up It's only a dream, right, Yeah,

1218
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 2: I liked football, but I hated practice. Oh my god,

1219
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: I hated practice. Suit was just drudgery. But well, you

1220
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 2: did it, you know, you did it if you wanted

1221
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 2: to date in high school and I still didn't date.

1222
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: So there's that.

1223
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 7: I'm not sure about that. I'll leave you with this.

1224
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 7: We're playing football in the upper Midwest. You would start

1225
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 7: in early to mid August, you know, around this time, right,

1226
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 7: and it would be sweltering and it would be humid.

1227
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 7: But then two months later you're playing at night games

1228
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 7: on a Friday where people are bringing out their winter

1229
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 7: coats because rymon temper stuck. It is it is such

1230
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 7: a quick turnaround in that football season. That first August

1231
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 7: game is usually sweltering hot, and then your last game

1232
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,439
Speaker 7: in mid to late October, early November, you're out there

1233
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 7: with your mittens and your hats.

1234
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's quite the well I could relate. My son,

1235
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 2: you know, played high school football in Nova, Michigan, and

1236
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 2: he was on a team that made it to the

1237
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: state semi finals. They played a game on November seventh

1238
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,439
Speaker 2: against Adrian High School and that team put two guys

1239
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL, including Kellum Davis, who played tight end

1240
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 2: for the Bears and Nova one. It was seventeen degrees

1241
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 2: that night. Yeah, it's free, right, and in two months

1242
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 2: earlier in August, you know, you're kicking off you the

1243
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 2: left final weekend in August and it's seventy five or

1244
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 2: eighty yep, yep. Good stuff is always Dan, you did

1245
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: a great job with that game time stuff for you.

1246
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Very clever. All right. So, former Michigan State University head

1247
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: coach Mel Tucker issuing the university, the leaders, the school leaders,

1248
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 2: alleging that they wrongfully fired him last year and violated

1249
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 2: his constitutional rights after he was accused of sexual harassment.

1250
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 2: It's a federal lawsuit which is filed last Wednesday and

1251
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: accuses the Michigan State School officials of taking quote an

1252
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 2: improper sham investigation of allegations that Tucker sexually harassed and

1253
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 2: exploited a rape survivor an activists I believe it employee

1254
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 2: of the university by the name of Brenda Tracey. You know,

1255
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 2: this is a story that was a story that was

1256
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:05,799
Speaker 2: raging last year and now it's kind of below the radar,

1257
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 2: but it's very much out there, and if you live

1258
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 2: in Michigan, we don't know the damages Mel was seeking.

1259
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 2: But you recall he signed the ten year, ninety five

1260
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 2: million dollar dealer. He's only in the third year of it. Okay,

1261
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 2: But Mel Tucker is alleging, and they've got to have

1262
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 2: their day in court at Michigan State officials, well, they

1263
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 2: violated his rights to do process and equal protection, and

1264
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 2: they believe he believes he did. You know, the school

1265
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 2: violated his employment agreement. And the complaint also contends that

1266
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 2: the interim president at Michigan State her name is Teresa Woodruff,

1267
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: and their athletic director, their current athletic director, Alan Haller,

1268
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 2: may quote false and defamatory public statements against Meltucker, quote

1269
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 2: further destroying his reputation, his professional standing, and his livelihood. So,

1270
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 2: as I said, at the time of the firing, Tucker

1271
01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 2: was in the third year of a ten year million

1272
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 2: dollar contract due to earn about an additional eighty million

1273
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: dollars remaining on the deal. And look, the university is

1274
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 2: not commenting, which is obvious and the way till they're

1275
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: formerly served. And part of the story is that this

1276
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 2: Brenda Tracy, who was an individual who was advocating the

1277
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: protection of college athletes about sexual violence. She had apparently

1278
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 2: become friends with Meltucker over her advocacy work, and Michigan

1279
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 2: State actually paid her ten thousand dollars to speak to

1280
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 2: the football team about her story about actually being raped

1281
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 2: gang raped back in nineteen ninety eight. So this is

1282
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 2: a really story that's got a lot of layers. And

1283
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 2: in the lawsuit it references the fact that Tracy did

1284
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 2: speak to the Michigan State football team just a year ago,

1285
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 2: or to check that three years ago, August fourteenth, twenty one.

1286
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 2: The story goes on to advance in a way that

1287
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 2: indicates that mel Tucker and Brenda Tracy's relationship took a turn.

1288
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,679
Speaker 2: In April twenty twenty two. According to the USA Today, Tucker,

1289
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 2: I don't want to say the word on the air,

1290
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 2: perhaps foddled himself during a phone call with her. Then

1291
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Tracy filed a complaint with the school in December twenty

1292
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 2: twenty two, saying that Tucker had sexually harassed her during

1293
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 2: the phone call. Several months later, Tracy filed a complaint

1294
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 2: with the school's Office for Civil Rights and Title nine Education,

1295
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 2: and Tucker told investigators that he and Tracy had had

1296
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 2: con sexual consensual phone You get you get the gist, Okay,

1297
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 2: as the story goes, And by the way, Michigan State,

1298
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 2: which is a fine institution, they're no stranger to scandals.

1299
01:11:56,120 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 2: Remember Larry Nasser, who's now serving decades in prison. He

1300
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 2: was a Michigan State sports doctor and he had been

1301
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 2: accused and he prosecuted and found guilty of assaulting many

1302
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 2: female athletes, including gymnasts who actually went on to win

1303
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 2: medals in the Olympics. So at the end of the day,

1304
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 2: mel Tucker's lawsuit contends the school deprived him of his

1305
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: right to a confidential and fair investigative process and that

1306
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 2: they quote cared nothing about the damage being inflicted on him. Now,

1307
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 2: one of the aspects of this story is that they allege,

1308
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 2: and perhaps there's some truth to this, that Michigan State

1309
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: has had a history of failing to properly deal with

1310
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 2: sexual abuse allegations, and it's gotten a lot of media attention.

1311
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,639
Speaker 2: So again, this is less than a year ago. Tucker

1312
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 2: was first suspended in September when this came out, and

1313
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 2: the Michigan State fired him later in the month. And

1314
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 2: the school's position is that Meltucker had subjected quote, they

1315
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 2: had subjected the institution to ridicule, breaching its contract and

1316
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 2: moral turpitude. Now there was a resolution officer that got involved,

1317
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 2: he concluded later in October. Tucker also engaged in behavior

1318
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 2: that violated the school's relationship and violence and sexual miscontent

1319
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 2: policy and indicated that their findings believed allegedly that Tucker

1320
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 2: had harassed and sexually exploited Tracy. So a very highly

1321
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 2: charged situation. When melt Tucker was fired, he appealed and

1322
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: in January he was denied, and so therefore we have

1323
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 2: this lawsuit which we'll be going forward now. It's been

1324
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 2: my observation on the outside looking in, when lawsuits of

1325
01:13:56,320 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 2: this nature come to the forefront, they're typically well, they're

1326
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 2: typically settled, and I get the feeling that's what's gonna

1327
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 2: happen here. You have to ask yourself, if you're part

1328
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 2: of the Michigan State regions, the attorneys are gonna get

1329
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 2: rich here. Again, it's you know, lawsuits, as most folks know,

1330
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 2: are time consuming and they're costly. So I think at

1331
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 2: the end of the day, when Michigan State does their

1332
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 2: calculus and perhaps they find a medium or happy ground

1333
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 2: and not drag this thing out for years and move

1334
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,640
Speaker 2: forward with their new coach and some of the new

1335
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: matchups they're going to have in the Big Ten, perhaps

1336
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 2: they settle this. I don't know. I've not read the complaint.

1337
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm not that privy to some of the fine details,

1338
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: and I don't know how much either side is dug in,

1339
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 2: So this remains to be seen. What else remains to

1340
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 2: be seen are the is the soap opera known as

1341
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers New York Jets, et cetera, et ceter

1342
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 2: et cetera. Where is that going? And I got to

1343
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 2: tell you, I know that Aaron Rodgers was a little

1344
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 2: in denial about his tet a tet with Garrett Wilson,

1345
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 2: but I think it goes a little bit deeper than that.

1346
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle. We

1347
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 2: are coming to life from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

1348
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,759
Speaker 2: Radio Tariact dot Com studios. Keep it locked. You're listening

1349
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We're

01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 2: back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming

1351
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 2: to life from the tarat dot com studios here in

1352
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Coming up top of the hour, It's time.

1353
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 2: It's time to start to preview the NFL divisions. Tonight,

1354
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 2: We'll start with the NFC East in the NFC North.

1355
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 2: In the next four weeks, we'll take two divisions each

1356
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 2: Saturday night, give you our thoughts. I'll make some bold predictions.

1357
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,719
Speaker 2: Some of you might not like what a different seventy

1358
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 2: two hours makes. So now we are told that Saturday,

1359
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 2: the New York Jets, who had a ninety minute scrimmage,

1360
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, the forty year old Aaron Rodgers, eleven months

1361
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 2: removed from surgery, looked like a Hall of famer, according

1362
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 2: to Robert Salah. Okay, well, he should look like a

1363
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 2: Hall of famer, because Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Famer.

1364
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:23,719
Speaker 2: And they were very laudatory of Rogers command of the offense,

1365
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 2: rogers demeanor, Roder the playmaking doesn't surprise me. But what

1366
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 2: a dramatic turnaround from just a few days ago when

1367
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 2: Rogers was losing his mind after the first practice and

1368
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 2: pads it went very poorly. He was visibly upset, and

1369
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 2: a lot of the frustrations seemingly stemmed from the fact

1370
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 2: that there were several miscues from the offensive line, including

1371
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 2: several sacks and poor snaps from their center, Joe Tipman,

1372
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 2: who's only in his second year, so he got a

1373
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: twenty year quarterback taking snap from a second year center.

1374
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 2: Rogers was livid when one of the offensive Linemen even

1375
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 2: stepped on his foot and Rogers went to the ground.

1376
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the collective panic that must have been

1377
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 2: amongst the Jets staff and people observing that. And Alan

1378
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 2: Lazard took up for Aaron Rodgers. He said, honestly, he

1379
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 2: expects the same standard that holds himself to out of

1380
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 2: everyone else, maybe like going to mindiicamp. Yeah, I think

1381
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 2: here's the deal. You don't panic this soon. But if

1382
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 2: you're the Jets and your history and what happened last

1383
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 2: year and so much riding on this, this is a

1384
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,799
Speaker 2: taste of what you're gonna see out of the Jets

1385
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 2: this year. One day crazy, the next day good. I

1386
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 2: don't know how many games are gonna win. I think

1387
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,679
Speaker 2: the defense is solid, and I think if Aaron Rodgers

1388
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 2: stays healthy and can start at least fifteen games, the

1389
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 2: Jets are a playoff team. But it's all a big if. Okay,

1390
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: last season was derilled by injury. Nobody wants to see

1391
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 2: that happen again this year. Rogers does not want it

1392
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 2: to happen. He's going to need solid play from his

1393
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 2: offensive line. And let me tell you what this sod

1394
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. That came out. Rogers was a very good

1395
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 2: high school quarterback who always believed he need to do

1396
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 2: three times as much to get half as much respect.

1397
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: No Division one offers, goes to Butte Community College, does well,

1398
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 2: ends up a cow, still got no respect, gets drafted,

1399
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 2: goes to the Green Bay Packers, toils behind Brett Fahr

1400
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: for years. As far I gave him the cold shoulder.

1401
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Rogers has a chip on his shoulder, and when things

1402
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 2: don't go right, he emotes, and he likes to be

1403
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: in control. When he's meglomaniacal. He is a Hall of Famer,

1404
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 2: his legacy secure. There is so much pressure on the

1405
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 2: Jets this season that when things go wrong, I think

1406
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 2: you're going to see emotion, and when things go well,

1407
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 2: you're going to see emotion. The highs and lows are

1408
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 2: going to be a lot for Jets fans this year.

1409
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 2: He saw a taste of it. Just this past week.

1410
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,759
Speaker 2: We're in one practice. Rogers lost his mind and Robert

1411
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 2: Sala even talked about him playing in the preseason, which

1412
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 2: Rogers said, that's news to me to looking like a

1413
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer on Saturday. Have fun, Jets, keep it locked.

1414

Speaker 2: The Bernie Fradle show on Fox Sports Radio.

1415

1423
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 2: The NFL is here and the future always has a

1424
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 2: way of arriving ahead of schedule. And just to you

1425
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 2: know what, three weeks from Thursday, four weeks from Thursday,

1426
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 2: the season will kickoff and we'll be back at it.

1427
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 2: And I think one of the more watch divisions will

1428
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 2: be the NFC East. Why because you got the drama

1429
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 2: known as the Dallas Cowboys, the most watched team in

1430
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 2: the NFL. More people watched Cowboys games last year than

1431
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: any other team, including the Kansasity Chiefs. But they're not

1432
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 2: going to win the division. Actually, the Philadelphia Eagles will

1433
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 2: win the division and ten and seven is going to

1434
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 2: do it. Yeah, they got their third set of coordinators

1435
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 2: since the start of the twenty twenty two season when

1436
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 2: they got to Super Bowl fifty seven. They lose Jason Kelcey,

1437
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 2: a big loss. They lose Fletcher Cox, a big loss.

1438
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:29,839
Speaker 2: They bring in Saquon Barkley and a couple of other players,

1439
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 2: including welcoming back their defensive back who spent some time

1440
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 2: in Detroit, CJ. Gardner Johnson, and they had another strong

1441
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 2: draft class thanks to Howie Roseman. Yes, they have turnover,

1442
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 2: but this franchise and their culture seems to know how

1443
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 2: to win now. They've only missed the playoffs once in

1444
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 2: the last seven years. And there's an interesting factoid about

1445
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 2: the NFC East. No team has successfully defended the division

1446
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,679
Speaker 2: crown since two thousand and four. Well that was Dallas

1447
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 2: last year. So if it goes according to Hoyles, Dallas

1448
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 2: won't win it this year. They'll be a new winner.

1449
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be the Commanders, it's not gonna be

1450
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 2: the Giants. I believe it'll be the Eagles. Now. They

1451
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 2: have a tough September slate. They got a couple tough

1452
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 2: road games, but it's a marathon, not a sprint. When

1453
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 2: you look up in December January, I think the Eagles

1454
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 2: will go ten and seven and win the division, which

1455
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 2: means the Cowboys will not. Now, I know Cowboys fans

1456
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 2: and certainly Jerry Jones, if he's listening, and he probably is,

1457
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 2: will disagree with my assessment. Right, I think not only

1458
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:45,759
Speaker 2: will the Cowboys have a difficult season, a very difficult season.

1459
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 2: I think they could be under five hundred. I really

1460
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: mean that they open up at Cleveland. It's gonna and

1461
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a landmine game. I think Cleveland's a

1462
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 2: lot better than people realize. I don't know what Deshaun

1463
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 2: Watson's gonna look like, but he's got a lot to proof.

1464
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 2: But when you have this kind of uncertainty, Mike McCarthy,

1465
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 2: final year of a contract, Dak Prescott, who will get

1466
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 2: you twelve and five every year. But when the Cowboys

1467
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, you know the drill. They look

1468
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,759
Speaker 2: like a drunk crossing an icy street. They do nothing.

1469
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 2: They do nothing. And I don't disrespect Mike McCarthy, he's

1470
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 2: a good players coach. But it all comes together in

1471
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 2: the postseason. But you've got Mike McCarthy, Dak Prescott, and

1472
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 2: arguably their best player, Seed Lamb. They're sort of in

1473
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 2: this lame duck campaign on the heels of an offseason

1474
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 2: when the Cowboys were actually depleted by free agency and

1475
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 2: to survive well. They did bring in a coordinator, Mike

1476
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 2: Zimmer to oversee what has in the past been a

1477
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 2: pretty opportunistic defense, and Mike McCarthy has to prove that

1478
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,639
Speaker 2: his offense can do it not just during the regular season,

1479
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 2: but also in the playoffs. And if you look at

1480
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 2: the Cowboys schedule, I'm not going to do one of

1481
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 2: those where you'd name the opponent from week to week

1482
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 2: and try to guess who's gonna win. But after they're

1483
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 2: by week seven, the Cowboys have a brutal four game stretch.

1484
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 2: Take a look at it. Three of them were playoff teams.

1485
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 2: I feel like the offseason distractions, combined with the fact

1486
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 2: that there's uncertainty with key players and their head coach,

1487
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 2: cannot be good for the culture. I think the Cowboys

1488
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 2: go eight to nine. The Commanders, new front office, new coach,

1489
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, Jayden Daniels. We all know that the success

1490
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 2: rate at first round quarterbacks is not great, but there's

1491
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 2: a good vibe amongst the organization. They're gonna compete. I

1492
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: think they can win seven, maybe eight games like Dallas.

1493
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 2: But let's face it, they're just trying to get on

1494
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 2: the Commanders, just trying to get on a positive course.

1495
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 2: They don't want to tread water anymore. I think they

1496
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 2: hold struggle early, but when there are no expectations and

1497
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 2: some of their younger players get experience, and look, dan

1498
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 2: Quinn knows how to coach, all right, the schedule gets

1499
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 2: a little easier and the arc of their roster will

1500
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 2: combine with the experience factor and their schedule. I think

1501
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 2: Washington will finish fairly strong. Still, they're probably a seven

1502
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 2: to ten team. The New York Giants, you gotta be worried,

1503
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 2: be very worried. I've sampled the hard knocks and you look,

1504
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: he kind of takes you behind the curtain and Joe

1505
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 2: Shane in his offseason thinking. And they now lose Saquon

1506
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 2: Barley Barkley, but they're going to try to build a roster,

1507
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 2: you know, and you've still got to pope Daniel Jones

1508
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 2: comes back from his ACL and that's not automatic. Right.

1509
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 2: They got a couple of hyped first round draft picks,

1510
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 2: including a wide receiver by the name of Malik Neighbors.

1511
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 2: Their offensive line should be improved, but they've got actually

1512
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:54,959
Speaker 2: the NFC easts most difficult schedule based on their opponents

1513
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 2: and their twenty twenty three winning percentages. I hate to

1514
01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 2: say it, but this could be a year where the

1515
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 2: Giants are look like a five win team. So I

1516
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 2: like the Eagles to win the NFC. So let's look

1517
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 2: to the NFC North, which is gonna be very interesting.

1518
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 2: I'm not buying the Bears, and I think the Vikings

1519
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 2: just had to endure too much to continue what they

1520
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 2: had been doing, and I liked their coach a lot,

1521
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 2: Kevin McConnell. I think the Packers and the Lions are

1522
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,839
Speaker 2: gonna bato it out now I'm still connected in Detroit.

1523
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see a very good season out

1524
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 2: of Alliance. That culture is for real, that roster is

1525
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 2: for real. They're as hungry as they've ever been. They

1526
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 2: came so close last year that playoff loss at San Francisco.

1527
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:43,839
Speaker 2: You saw what happen. So now I think Dan Campbell

1528
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 2: and the team understands their role and how they're perceived

1529
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 2: and how the outside expectations are gonna be different than

1530
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 2: they have been in the past. Because look, I covered

1531
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 2: the Lions and eight when they were zero sixteen and

1532
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 2: I saw it, trust me, I saw it all. But

1533
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 2: everything is different now. But it's still an organization that

1534
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 2: hasn't won a championships in nineteen fifty seven. The key

1535
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 2: is the rest of the division looks a little different.

1536
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 2: So the pathway to a super Bowl is going to

1537
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 2: require not only a strong start. Remember, the Lions got

1538
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 2: to play two home games in the playoffs last year.

1539
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 2: That helped. The road game in San Francisco was their

1540
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 2: come uppance. They have an odd scheduling quirk between October

1541
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 2: and November, over an eight week period, they only have

1542
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 2: two home games. But they do have a young core,

1543
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 2: and they've got a stud wide receiver crew, and maybe

1544
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 2: this is the year Jamison Williams has his breakout. But

1545
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 2: I think the Green Bay Packers made a dazzling statement

1546
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 2: last year with Jordan Love, and from what I'm hearing,

1547
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,879
Speaker 2: it's not a fluke. It's not a fluke. The Packers

1548
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 2: not only had the league's youngest roster in twenty twenty three,

1549
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 2: they were on the verge of an appearance in the

1550
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 2: NFC Championship Game. What they did when they win into

1551
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 2: Dallas and kick them around. That was men against boys,

1552
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 2: and you gotta get a lot of credit to Jordan Love.

1553
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 2: Green Bay's got a lot of talent. They have seven

1554
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 2: first rounders on that defense that really started to find

1555
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 2: itself in the second half of the year experience. You

1556
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 2: add Josh Jacobs, you add a safety, and Xavier McKinney.

1557
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 2: The real situation here could even blossom further. They have

1558
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 2: a new defensive coordinator by the name of Jeff Haffley

1559
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:35,719
Speaker 2: who's changing the scheme. Okay, he believes that that scheme

1560
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 2: has underachieved. Given the fact they've had seven first round picks,

1561
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 2: I think you might see aggressive Green Bay Packers defense.

1562
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 2: It plays downhill. It's a coin flip who wins this division.

1563
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 2: I think both teams make the playoffs, both Detroit and

1564
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 2: Green Bay. But I'm not kidding. I think it's gonna

1565
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 2: take twelve, maybe thirteen games to win that division because

1566
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 2: I have the Lions on the Packers both winning lead

1567
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 2: eleven and they could both win twelve. So it's gonna

1568
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 2: take twelve or thirteen to win that division. I'm tired

1569
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 2: of hearing this narrative that this number one overall pick,

1570
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has entered a more favorable situation in the

1571
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 2: common draft since nineteen sixty seven. Now, I know he

1572
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 2: was the number one overall pick, but some people have

1573
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 2: said as a first rounder, well, you know, just let's

1574
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 2: not forget Dan Marino joined the Dolphins in nineteen eighty three,

1575
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 2: the year after. Not only they've been to the Super Bowl,

1576
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 2: but Don Chulu was their coach and the super Bowl

1577
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 2: roster with not great expectations. So you got a Heisman

1578
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 2: Trophy winner, he's got some weapons on offense. He's got

1579
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 2: a defense that seemed to find its footing last year.

1580
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:48,679
Speaker 2: I forgot they did trade for defensive in Montese Sweat.

1581
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is, even though the

1582
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 2: Bears won for their final six games in twenty twenty three,

1583
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 2: there was no pressure on them all right, So can

1584
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 2: Chicago sustain that moment them? It is written that the

1585
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 2: Bears have the league's easiest schedule aside from NFC South teams.

1586
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:14,600
Speaker 2: So look, if Caleb Williams can manage to lead the

1587
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,280
Speaker 2: Bears to the playoffs, it'd be the fourth season in

1588
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 2: a row a rookie quarterback has led his team to

1589
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 2: a postseason if you count brock perty in twenty twenty two.

1590
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna happen. Finally, the Vikings. They

1591
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,879
Speaker 2: have talent, Justin Jefferson, maybe the best receiver in football.

1592
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 2: They say goodbye to Kirk Cousins, they say hello to

1593
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold and JJ McCarthy. Look the Vikings. Five of

1594
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 2: their first seven opponents were playoff teams last season. They

1595
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 2: have to go to London, they have to play the

1596
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 2: New York Jets in London. I think Kevin O'Connell gets

1597
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 2: a mulligan this year. They're going to be competitive, but

1598
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:55,600
Speaker 2: I think they're a five or six win team. So

1599
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 2: there you have it. I want to bring in the crew,

1600
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 2: get their thoughts coming up. I want to get the

1601
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 2: thoughts specifically on the Cowboys. Am I wrong? We all

1602
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 2: know what's taking place this off season, and we all

1603
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:09,959
Speaker 2: know what they're looking at. Am I wrong? Let's see,

1604

1629
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 2: a football show every Sunday afternoon. You've got your finger

1630
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 2: on the pulse like nobody. I made some broad based,

1631
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 2: bold assertions about the Cowboys in their upcoming season. Your

1632
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 2: thoughts on the general outlook of the Cowboys and where

1633
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 2: your thoughts are?

1634
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 7: You know, Bernie, when you look at the entire NFC,

1635
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 7: And that's where I think that we have to look,

1636
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 7: because I think it Jerry Jones is looking at a

1637
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,600
Speaker 7: super Bowl, so why not take it from his perspective.

1638
01:31:56,200 --> 01:32:00,440
Speaker 7: We've talked so much about the contracts of Dak and

1639
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 7: him entering free agency, and Micah Parsons and what you're

1640
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 7: gonna do with Ceedee Lamb and the all in conversation,

1641
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 7: and none of that's been accomplished. And it's stuff that

1642
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 7: whether I've talked about it, or you've talked about it,

1643
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:16,600
Speaker 7: or others have talked about it, it hasn't been accomplished.

1644
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 7: And I am I would be concerned if I was

1645
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 7: a Dallas Cowboy fan. I don't think Ceedee Lamb's situation

1646
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,760
Speaker 7: is of concern, and I don't think Dak's contract is

1647
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 7: of concern.

1648
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:29,320
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about their.

1649
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,560
Speaker 7: Running game and this is a team that had a

1650
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 7: running game stall last season, they had Tony Pollard be

1651
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 7: their lead back and that didn't work out, and Pollard's

1652
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 7: now with the Tennessee Titans. But you have Ezekiel Elliott

1653
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 7: that you then brought back because you thought Pollard was

1654
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 7: going to be the guy. And Zeke han't been the

1655
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 7: main guy in the last couple of years with Dallas anyway.

1656
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 7: But it just to me is you know, that's where

1657
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,640
Speaker 7: really Dallas made their their bread and butter. And I

1658
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 7: do think that you have to have a running game

1659
01:32:57,800 --> 01:32:59,600
Speaker 7: in the National Football League. So when I look at

1660
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 7: them in then and I have questions about I don't

1661
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 7: know if Royce Freeman is going to.

1662
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 2: Be the guy or who it's going to be for Dallas.

1663
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 7: I don't worry about dak, I don't worry about Ceedee Lamb,

1664
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 7: I don't worry about any of that. I worry about

1665
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 7: their running game and I don't think that they have one,

1666
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 7: and I Detroit has one, San Francisco has one. Green

1667
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 7: Bay invested in theirs this offseason and bringing in Josh

1668
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 7: Jacobs and aj Dillon looks like he's back to being

1669
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 7: the number two there, and if he bounce back, bounces back.

1670
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 7: Green Bay is going to have a running game. We

1671
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 7: know the Eagles invested in their running game by signing

1672
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 7: Saquon Barkley. So you've got teams in that division. That's

1673
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 7: what concerns me the most about the Dallas Cowboys. I

1674
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:40,800
Speaker 7: just don't know if they're going to be able to

1675
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:43,880
Speaker 7: run the football. And to me, that's how you end

1676
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 7: up winning in the National Football League, and I just

1677
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 7: I don't see it, and I just see better teams

1678
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 7: of the NFC.

1679
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:52,679
Speaker 2: All right, all points Stualley noted, and I don't disagree

1680
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,919
Speaker 2: with any of them. And Juxta pulls that Dan against

1681
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 2: what I consider to be a fairly daunting schedule, hitting

1682
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 2: into their Byewey, you start out at Cleveland, but you

1683
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 2: got Baltimore on the docket, at Pittsburgh and the Lions,

1684
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 2: and if for any reason, say the Cowboys, I'll say

1685
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 2: three and four, I need them speculating here heading into that. Byewey,

1686
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 2: My concern is the culture, the culture and how this

1687
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 2: foundation of sam that Jerry Jones seems to be presiding

1688
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 2: over might start to finally cave. I don't think they're

1689
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:25,759
Speaker 2: going twelve and five this year after three straight years.

1690
01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 2: How does the culture sustain dan if they don't meet

1691
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:30,800
Speaker 2: with success out of the gate.

1692
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:36,080
Speaker 7: You know, it's funny because I don't think culture is

1693
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 7: their biggest problem. I do think that there could be

1694
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 7: a change with Dan Quinn no longer being there on

1695
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 7: defense and Mike Zimmer running the defense. But for all

1696
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 7: of the talk that we have about Mike McCarthy, I

1697
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 7: mean that passing game did cook last season. I mean

1698
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 7: it was it was cooking. And I don't know. I

1699
01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,879
Speaker 7: don't have a feel for the Cowboys and how McCarthy

1700
01:34:59,920 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 7: is felt in the locker room. But does the Jerry

1701
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,680
Speaker 7: Jones stuff start to trickle down if that's what you're

1702
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 7: getting to, Yeah, I think that could be an issue,

1703
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 7: and maybe it's things get tighter for McCarthy.

1704
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 2: I would hope that as team plays with them.

1705
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 7: But I just it's funny because Jerry Jones has set

1706
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 7: up all of these things almost for his team to

1707
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 7: fail in terms of the contracts that we've talked about,

1708
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,760
Speaker 7: in terms of Mike McCarthy's future, and Bill Belichick is

1709
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,680
Speaker 7: you know out there as a possibility. Yeah, it all

1710
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 7: goes back to Jerry Jones. You have more of a

1711
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:35,200
Speaker 7: concern about culture than maybe I do. But you know,

1712
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 7: they're three and four to start the season and they're

1713
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 7: looking like a wild card team. They're going to be

1714
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 7: a story and maybe that does creep into into Dallas.

1715
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:46,599
Speaker 2: And to your point, to be fair, set the record straight,

1716
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,120
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is very popular as a players coach. They

1717
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 2: like him and he's produced results and you saw him

1718
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,600
Speaker 2: in Green Bay. Okay, the issue here, and it's a

1719
01:35:56,640 --> 01:36:00,680
Speaker 2: really delicate situation because they haven't paid Dak and you

1720
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 2: certainly don't want to go back to the Drew Henson

1721
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 2: you know days as it were. But what do you

1722
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 2: do because Jerry desperately wants to win another you know,

1723
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 2: super Bowl, and it just doesn't feel like when he

1724
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 2: gets hot and it's hard to breathe in these high

1725
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 2: leverage moments in the playoffs. That's where I think the

1726
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 2: culture right, and it's not necessarily from McCarthy, but some

1727
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:25,400
Speaker 2: sort of systemic issue.

1728
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 7: It's funny because I'll have a show later on today

1729
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 7: with Carrie Rhodes New Eastern nine Pacific coming up, and

1730
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,599
Speaker 7: as I'm doing some of my notes here for the show,

1731
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 7: we're going to be doing and what seems like a

1732
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 7: few hours, Bernie, I don't mind saying it now because

1733
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 7: I'm going to say a little bit later. I don't

1734
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 7: necessarily understand what is happening with Dak Prescott's situation because

1735
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:54,400
Speaker 7: if it truly is our make or break season again,

1736
01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 7: this is a guy who broke his leg on national

1737
01:36:56,960 --> 01:37:00,040
Speaker 7: television that we all saw in a game against the

1738
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 7: Giants and what was a contract year and the Cowboys

1739
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 7: paid him. So what does Dak have to do to fail?

1740
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,160
Speaker 7: So so when you look at what is going to

1741
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 7: be the barometer, as you said, you don't want to

1742
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,639
Speaker 7: go back to the to the Drew Henson, Quincy Carter.

1743
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 7: You know, was it Chad Hutchinson days? What I mean

1744
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,839
Speaker 7: it was it was crazy the quarterback carousel. Drew Bledzell

1745
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 7: was a quarterback for all. I mean it was. It

1746
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 7: was nuts for who was playing. Yeah, not to confused

1747
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 7: with yeah, all the quarterbacks that you had, like you

1748
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 7: at least you had some you know, stability with Romo

1749
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 7: and then and now with Dak coming in. But what

1750
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 7: is what does Dak have to do to fail to

1751
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:48,600
Speaker 7: not resign him because you already paid him when he

1752
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:51,600
Speaker 7: broke his leg and said all right, he's going to

1753
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 7: be our guy. So now all that you've done I

1754
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 7: think is basically just put off giving him a contract

1755
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 7: that I don't think Dak would take a penny less

1756
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 7: since the team is now playing chicken with him right now.

1757
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 7: It really just doesn't make a lot of sense. And

1758
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 7: it's not a fact of are you committing to Dak

1759
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 7: or you not committing to Dak, because obviously they aren't

1760
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 7: committing to him. But what does he have to do

1761
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 7: in a negative way that would make you say, all right,

1762
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,519
Speaker 7: we're not going to bring you back. This isn't going

1763
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:24,759
Speaker 7: to work because the worst case scenario already happened once

1764
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 7: in his career with a broken leg and he got

1765
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 7: a contract.

1766
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 2: Then is that going to be the scenario again? Would

1767
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 2: that be a spot?

1768
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 7: Well if that if that's the case, then you know

1769
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 7: that's the case, and then Dak will go and sign

1770
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 7: for fifty million dollars somewhere else. But I just I

1771
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,599
Speaker 7: don't I think that Jerry set this up in such

1772
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,519
Speaker 7: an awful way that they're just going to end up

1773
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 7: paying more for a quarterback they probably could have just

1774
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 7: signed and kept for the next five years at a

1775
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:51,519
Speaker 7: cheaper rate.

1776
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 2: This year as has been his most suparende E and

1777
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys.

1778
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm worried about the offensive line. That's something that

1779
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:01,880
Speaker 9: I I that you guys haven't touched on yet. It's

1780
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 9: I don't know. To me, when you're downgrading from from

1781
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 9: a Hall of Fame caliber tackle and Tyron Smith to

1782
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:12,799
Speaker 9: a back end of the first round rookie and Tyler Geitton,

1783
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 9: who was seen as a project to begin with, that's

1784
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 9: your left tackle spot. That's that's protecting Dak's blindside. And

1785
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 9: when this is, you know, supposed to be a contract

1786
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 9: year for him, that's I don't know. It just kind

1787
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,000
Speaker 9: of feeds into Dan's point. It's like, what what does

1788
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 9: a bad season look like for Dak and what does

1789
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 9: he need to do to fail and not get that

1790
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 9: contract because the way that they're setting him up, it's

1791
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,640
Speaker 9: it's not like he's in the most flawless situation, you

1792
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 9: know what I mean?

1793
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 2: Good points, both guys, Mark Ramsey, you want to wrap

1794
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 2: it up on this.

1795
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 10: To the Cowboys, it just seems like, I mean, just

1796
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 10: I know, they won eleven games twelve twelve years in

1797
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 10: a row, so they.

1798
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:52,839
Speaker 9: Won twelve games.

1799
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 10: Does Jerry's mind games trickle down to the players.

1800
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 9: You know, no, what's going to happen. Wasn't it their

1801
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 9: defense that failed in the playoff game?

1802
01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 2: Well, Green Bay moved the ball up and down the field,

1803
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 2: but Dallas's offense, yeah that was yeah, go ahead.

1804
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 10: So they weren't able to score. I guess in a

1805
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,600
Speaker 10: in a tremendous game, but a playoff had no CounterPunch,

1806
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 10: so they had nothing. So where they how could they

1807
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 10: win twelve games and then the whole team be tight

1808
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:24,800
Speaker 10: and not be able to perform?

1809
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 9: So where they still? Is?

1810
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 10: This season going to be another season where they have

1811
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 10: to worry about what Jerry Jones is going to do,

1812
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 10: the obvious pressure that he wants for his team to

1813
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:38,640
Speaker 10: win and to get things done, and to you know,

1814
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:41,000
Speaker 10: go round and around about whether the dack is going

1815
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,599
Speaker 10: to be there, whether the deck is going to get paid, and.

1816
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 2: How about the head coach they're leaving Mike McCarthy dangling, right,

1817
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 2: This is very unusual, very unusual.

1818
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 10: To all those things spinning around for the teammates and

1819
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 10: just you know how not so much culture, but just

1820
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 10: what the players have to deal with. They have to

1821
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 10: deal with their owner, who may be talking a lot again,

1822
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 10: So it's a lot of stuff that they have to

1823
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,760
Speaker 10: deal with just to play the game and to try

1824
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 10: to get past a certain point if they get to

1825
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:06,839
Speaker 10: the playoffs.

1826
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 2: Again, maybe culture is not the proper choice of words

1827
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 2: for me, but there I do believe it's already immerged.

1828
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 2: There is a negative air around the team, and you know,

1829
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 2: when things go wrong, what is their you know, what

1830
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 2: is their pillar? And so you know, you got all

1831
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 2: the things we just mentioned. So it's gonna make for

1832
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:32,679
Speaker 2: an interesting twenty twenty four season. I'm kind of sticking

1833
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 2: to my guns. I think the Cowboys are eight, nine

1834
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 2: to nine and eight. We'll see if I'm wrong. We'll

1835
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:37,719
Speaker 2: see if I'm wrong, but I know we'll all be watching.

1836
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 2: Tell you what else, we're watching the Canadians women soccer team. Yes,

1837
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 2: they actually advance to the quarterfinals of the Summer Olympic Games.

1838
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,760
Speaker 2: That doesn't begin to tell the story of the Canadians

1839
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 2: women's soccer team. First, let's go back to our guy

1840

01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 7: the same group as they are. Fleetwood is one shot

01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:26,600

01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 7: The Americans have fourteen golds so far, that second best

01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 7: behind only China. As for the Americans overall lead with

Speaker 7: The Tennessee chose the balls over the likes of Alabama,

1866

1867
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,759
Speaker 7: Jack Flaherty made his Dodgers debut, going six innings, striking

1872
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:35,160

1874
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 2: You, Dan number one, Thanks for jumping in tonight, Bud.

1875
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:42,720
Speaker 2: It's always a pleasure to have you. And before I

1876
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 2: let you run, I gotta have you. Weigh in ever

1877
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 2: so quickly on the Canadian women's soccer team. Should they

1878
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 2: get to the gold medal game and win it, what

1879
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 2: a story this is going to be, especially after that

1880
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 2: penalty that it was levied.

1881
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 7: On them by the federation. That would be quite a story.

1882
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:02,879
Speaker 7: And whether there's a week of stories in the Olympic Games.

1883
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:06,559
Speaker 7: You are way more into the women's soccer stuff that

1884
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 7: I am, Bernie. I know they're scandal I know they're spying,

1885
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 7: but I'll leave that down in your alley, all right,

1886
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:13,719
Speaker 7: I'll focus on golf.

1887
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 2: Very good, all right, very good, Dan, You take care

1888
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 2: of pal. Thanks, Bernie, have a good show. Dani'll hear

1889
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:22,759
Speaker 2: Dan later on these airwaves in a little over seven hours.

1890
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 2: All right. So the Canadian women did advance, but not

1891
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:31,799
Speaker 2: without a backstory that you really kind of can't ignore.

1892
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:36,799
Speaker 2: By the way, they are the defending Olympic gold medal champion.

1893
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 2: They wanted the Tokyo Games in twenty twenty one. They're

1894
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 2: doing it without their coach. I believe the coach's name

1895
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:50,680
Speaker 2: is Beverly Priestsman. There was a report recently that an

1896
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 2: analyst for the Canadian team was arrested in France last

1897
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 2: month after he was found flying a drone over a

1898
01:44:56,880 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 2: training session of the New Zealand soccer team. I don't

1899
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 2: know if the spine on the set pieces or how

1900
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 2: they comb their hair, but regardless, as punishment for this,

1901
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 2: they got caught FIFA. They assessed a six point penalty

1902
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 2: on the women's team during their Olympic run. Now that's

1903
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,639
Speaker 2: a major setback, Okay, that is not a small penalty.

1904
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 2: That meant Canada we need to win all three group

1905
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 2: stage games to advance, and they did it. They wrapped

1906
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:33,599
Speaker 2: it up by beating Columbia one nothing on Wednesday, so

1907
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 2: they will next face Germany in the Olympic quarterfinals. And

1908
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 2: one of the things I think that's been reported this

1909
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 2: isn't necessarily reflection on the players. I don't know if

1910
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 2: they're even aware of it. I don't know. There's so

1911
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 2: much I don't know. But I get such a kick

1912
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 2: out of these side stories, as you know, and we

1913
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 2: always have to have to draw on history. But apparently

1914
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,440
Speaker 2: just the other day there were emails released by FIFA

1915
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 2: that were included as part of a formal dismissal of

1916
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:04,679
Speaker 2: the team's coach and a fine of like two hundred

1917
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars. They found these emails that apparently

1918
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 2: seemed to underscore that the coach was supportive of these

1919
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:17,799
Speaker 2: maneuvers in spine. But as you know, these are openings

1920
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 2: for me to have fun because this isn't exactly the

1921
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 2: first cheating scandal. His Some knucklehads like to say, if

1922
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 2: you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Let's go back to

1923
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 2: three eighty eight BC. Yes, even in the days of

1924
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 2: Plato there was evidence of cheating. There was an article

1925
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 2: many years ago entitled crime and Punishment in Greek Athletics,

1926
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 2: put forth by a professor at Ohio State, and he dealed,

1927
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 2: He tried that to get an English He detailed some

1928
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 2: of the athletics scandals all the way back in ancient Grace. Yes,

1929
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 2: during the Olympics of three eight BC, there was a

1930
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:02,840
Speaker 2: boxing bribery in the Olympics where a gentleman by the

1931
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 2: name of Uphylus offessily bribed all three of his opponents

1932
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 2: to let him win. And that prompted came organizers to

1933
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 2: impose heavy fines on all four men. And can you,

1934
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, oh too much. Let's fast forward to

1935
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 2: modern times, like back in four nineteen oh four. You

1936
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 2: see the summer Games in Saint Louis in nineteen oh

1937
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 2: four featured the marathon. And they say this get scandal

1938
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 2: might have been the most bizarre in Olympic history. It's

1939
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:40,400
Speaker 2: certainly a spectacle a gentleman by the name of Fred

1940
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 2: Laws who won the marathon Rosie Ruiz of nineteen eighty

1941
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 2: Boston Marathon fame as a piker compared to this guy,

1942
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:54,240
Speaker 2: all right, So back in nineteen oh four Fred Laws

1943
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:58,719
Speaker 2: he won, but it was found afterward that he spent

1944
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 2: eleven miles riding a long in a car, and he

1945
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:03,840
Speaker 2: was called out on it and admitted to cheating before

1946
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 2: he could be awarded a medal. So maybe there's some

1947
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 2: honor there. But the truth of the matter is it

1948
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 2: was one of these weird races. One runner allegedly got

1949
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 2: off course and cheated as well, because he claimed he

1950
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 2: was he was chased by a pack of wild dogs.

1951
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 2: One other runner somehow stopped off at an orchard to

1952
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 2: eat some apples, got a stomach ache and took a nap.

1953
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:32,000
Speaker 2: Somehow I finished fourth. One other runner who finished third

1954
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 2: was carried by his trainers over the finish line. That

1955
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 2: must have been a real hoot. Okay, who could forget

1956
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:41,639
Speaker 2: the nineteen nineteen Black Sox scandal. That's you know, there

1957
01:48:41,640 --> 01:48:43,719
Speaker 2: have been movies made about that, and I mean, damn

1958
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 2: good ones. Eight men out with John Cusack to this

1959
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 2: day still holds up them. Excuse me. The big bombsheale

1960
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 2: though of the nineteen nineteen Black Sox scandal was and

1961
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 2: involved professional baseball, which was sacred, and it was the

1962
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,679
Speaker 2: most flagrant. Obviously there were multiple members. You know the story.

1963
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:08,479
Speaker 2: They accepted money from professional gamblers to basically throw the

1964
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:13,200
Speaker 2: World Series. They were mad at their owner and Eddie Seacott,

1965
01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 2: who was promised a bonus of X amount of dollars

1966
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 2: if you won thirty games, won twenty nine. And you

1967
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 2: know their owner, I mean, his name escapes me. Now

1968
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 2: I should know this off the top of my head.

1969
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 2: But that's a famous story. Everybody knows. Then you get

1970
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 2: into more. I say this in air quotes recent times

1971
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 2: in nineteen nineteen, or checked that nineteen fifty one the

1972
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 2: City College of New York. This involved basketball, a group

1973
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 2: of college basketball players. It took money from bookmakers for

1974
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:46,719
Speaker 2: manipulating the scores of games. Thirty two players from seven

1975
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 2: colleges were involved, admitted to accepting bribes. This one got

1976
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 2: a little serious. Two of the players, including fixers, went

1977
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 2: to serve jail time. Coming up. I got a few more.

1978
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm not done, more recent ones. You might remember him.

1979
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 2: Keep it locked you're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

1980
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:08,639
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. Hi, right back on the Bernie

1981
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. We are coming to you

1982
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 2: live from the tyrac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

1983
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 2: Coming up in fourteen minutes, the dance sensation sweeping the nation?

1984
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool you? Followed by what

1985
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 2: my name? I want to give credit to Mike Walter.

1986
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 2: Let me just say this. I want to read his

1987
01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:33,640
Speaker 2: tweet if I can find it. But the bottom line is,

1988
01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 2: you know, I have no high school dropout. I did

1989
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 2: go the full six years. However, every now and then

1990
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 2: I make a mistake, and I see, I knew how

1991
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 2: I missed this hardwhift on this. I know that the

1992
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:51,080
Speaker 2: US women's team was playing Germany next well, in order

1993
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 2: for Germany to advance, they would have had to beat

1994
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: in Canada Saturday, which they did, so Canada is out.

1995
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:01,920
Speaker 2: Thanks to Mike Walter for tweeting and reminding me of that.

1996
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 2: I knew it, but forgot it with time, all right,

1997
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:09,919
Speaker 2: And so I know, I think the game went to overtime,

1998
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:11,680
Speaker 2: went to extra time, and there was a shootout and

1999
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 2: Germany ends up advancing, and so that'll be the United

2000
01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 2: States next opponent. Regardless. You question at this point how

2001
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:23,120
Speaker 2: much of a news story this will be, given that

2002
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,200
Speaker 2: it is the Olympics and one of the most popular

2003
01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 2: Olympics of all time, now will arise to the level

2004
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:31,200
Speaker 2: of a couple of big ones. I'm about to give

2005
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 2: you to wrap this up. Ian Roddy, do you have

2006
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:36,720
Speaker 2: any thoughts on this whatsoever?

2007
01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's I don't know. For the the punishment they gave,

2008
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:47,640
Speaker 9: I feel like it should have just been to just

2009
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 9: kick them out.

2010
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 2: WHOA, That's interesting because remember we don't know if the

2011
01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 2: players were culpable. This might have been a coaching you know,

2012
01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 2: you see what I'm saying.

2013
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:56,719
Speaker 9: I do.

2014
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 2: But you get innocent, vite, you get a lot of

2015
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:01,080
Speaker 2: go ahead do But to.

2016
01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:08,880
Speaker 9: Me, this is such an egregious what's the word infraction?

2017
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 2: Fraction?

2018
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:13,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's such an egregious infraction that to me,

2019
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:17,719
Speaker 9: it's not very important like who was involved, who wasn't.

2020
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:20,519
Speaker 9: It's the fact of the matter is that cheating was

2021
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 9: involved with Team Canada. So to me, it's it's literally

2022
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 9: just black and white. Cheating was involved with Team Canada.

2023
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 9: They aren't allowed to compete in this Year's Olympics, it.

2024
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 2: Just feels like, okay, you're not wrong, but a lot

2025
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 2: of collateral damage. I get to read Mike Walters because

2026
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,679
Speaker 2: Canada women's soccer got knocked out Saturday by Germany. Yes,

2027
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 2: I I had to know that because I know the

2028
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 2: US womens Se was gonna play Germany the next khad

2029
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 2: and finish your point.

2030
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:48,559
Speaker 9: No, I mean that's pretty much it. I just feel

2031
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 9: like the punishment they gave them, you know, the six

2032
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 9: point penalty that was supposed to be insurmountable and stuff.

2033
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:57,120
Speaker 2: It's just well, they're going to win the goal, right exactly,

2034
01:52:57,160 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe you know the old Rashid wallas Baal,

2035
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 2: don't Mark Ramsey your thoughts.

2036
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 9: So this is the team that had drones spying on

2037
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 9: other teams.

2038
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 2: Well they were spined on New Zealand that was their

2039
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 2: first opponent. But yes, that's the long and the short

2040
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:13,360
Speaker 2: of it.

2041
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,280
Speaker 10: So, like like Ian just said, if there's cheating, and

2042
01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 10: if they were able to advance even though they got

2043
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 10: you know, I guess demerits they should have been knocked

2044
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 10: out of it because cheating is cheating and why should

2045
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:32,799
Speaker 10: you why should a cheater be allowed to continue in play.

2046
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:38,000
Speaker 2: It's a question I can't answer.

2047
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 9: I I mean, if you break, you break that are

2048
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:43,840
Speaker 9: in place.

2049
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:46,679
Speaker 2: The coaches broke the rules, or or at least two

2050
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,679
Speaker 2: of them did that, they part of the remaining staff remained,

2051
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:52,720
Speaker 2: so maybe they weren't culpable. I don't know. Just had

2052
01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 2: the situation last year with Michigan football with Connor Stallions,

2053
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 2: and there's a Netflix special coming out on that in

2054
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 2: two weeks, So you're not wrong on your premise. It's

2055
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 2: just that there'd be so much collateral damage with these

2056
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 2: young ladies have been you know, good.

2057
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:10,559
Speaker 9: But that's the thing though, is like with the Michigan

2058
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:12,760
Speaker 9: thing that was that's a great callback till last year.

2059
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:16,040
Speaker 9: Just with that Michigan thing, even if the players themselves

2060
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:19,400
Speaker 9: weren't necessarily involved with the cheating, it's still the program.

2061
01:54:19,479 --> 01:54:22,839
Speaker 9: Michigan cheated, so they should be punished.

2062
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter that they're punished somewhat. And I have

2063
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:28,240
Speaker 2: all the details which I want bore of everybody with,

2064
01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:30,679
Speaker 2: but they're not going to have their championship vacated.

2065
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:34,400
Speaker 9: Well no, but I but that's the only reason that

2066
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 9: I bring it up is just to compare it to

2067
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 9: the Canadian thing here it's the fact that, yes, the

2068
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 9: players might not have been involved, but the fact of

2069
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 9: the matter is that the team that they play for cheated,

2070
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:45,839
Speaker 9: so the team that they play for should be eliminated

2071
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:46,360
Speaker 9: fair enough.

2072
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, listen, there are three doozies that I haven't even

2073
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 2: gotten to yet. Who can forget? That's been thirty years

2074
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 2: for Krann out loud. It happened in Detroit. Shane stant

2075
01:54:56,240 --> 01:55:00,160
Speaker 2: who became a household name, attacked Nancy Kerrigan woul the

2076
01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 2: baton at outside of Coble Hall. I was there the

2077
01:55:03,720 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 2: next day I saw the broken door. My buddy Mark

2078
01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 2: Wilson covered it on TV. Nancy Kerrigan went on to

2079
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,600
Speaker 2: compete against Tanya Harding. That also became a movie, A

2080
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 2: great movie it. Tanya very well acted with Margot Robi.

2081
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 2: I can't recommend it highly enough. Who can forget? The

2082
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 2: flate Gate somewhat similar to this Canadian soccer cheating scandal, right,

2083
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 2: it's a weird one. The accusation was Tom Brady, when

2084
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 2: he was with the Patriots, asked team equipment staffers to

2085
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 2: deliberately under inflate footballs in the AFC Championship game against

2086
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 2: the Colts. The Patriots won Brady was suspended four games.

2087
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:45,520
Speaker 2: He went on to win the Zooer Bowl that year,

2088
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 2: peeled the suspension all the way to the US Appeals Court.

2089
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 2: NFL had a two hundred and forty three page investigative

2090
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 2: report as to what happened, and you know it now

2091
01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:59,240
Speaker 2: was mentioned along the same lines as Spygate and Bountygate

2092
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 2: and probably go down as the most memorable cheating incident

2093
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:05,320
Speaker 2: in recent NFL history, given the fact that it involved

2094
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:08,920
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. Now, Ian, are you a Dodgers fan?

2095
01:56:09,960 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 11: I'm not.

2096
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you know it's a good thing. Maybe I

2097
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:15,360
Speaker 2: don't have Bull or Ryan on the show tonight because

2098
01:56:16,160 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 2: I haven't even gotten to the twenty nineteen Houston Astro

2099
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:22,400
Speaker 2: scandal rates. I know that sign stealing has always been

2100
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 2: a part of baseball and it's not against the rules,

2101
01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:29,200
Speaker 2: but it is against the rules when you use technology.

2102
01:56:29,320 --> 01:56:31,440
Speaker 2: The Astros took it to a whole new level. They

2103
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:33,680
Speaker 2: began using a camera in center field to zoom in

2104
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 2: when opposing catcher's signs were being flashed with the pitcher,

2105
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 2: and the second part of the scheme was a little

2106
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:43,800
Speaker 2: less sophisticated, when they would bang a trash can that

2107
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 2: player at bat knew that a breaking ball was coming

2108
01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 2: if you didn't bang the trash, can you knew a

2109
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:52,280
Speaker 2: fastball was coming? That cash to Paul Over the twenty

2110
01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 2: seventeen World Series led to multiple suspensions, firings, fines. Years later,

2111
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 2: PitchCom came out, which made it pretty hard for you

2112
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 2: to do that now. But I know a lot of

2113
01:57:05,440 --> 01:57:09,760
Speaker 2: Dodger fans who believe the actors never really got their

2114
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:13,360
Speaker 2: come uppets ever and one final one. This kind of

2115
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 2: spans a decade. It's a baseball steroid era, all right,

2116
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:21,240
Speaker 2: we know that. Look, these are the players that were implicated,

2117
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 2: Mark McGuire, Rafael Palmearrow, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds. Major League

2118
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 2: Baseball they overhauled its strug testing policies and during the

2119
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 2: peak of the home run era nineteen ninety eight, course

2120
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:36,880
Speaker 2: McGuire and Sosa associated there were sixty home runs three times,

2121
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:41,080
Speaker 2: three different times, the Mitchell Report, Barry Bonds trial for perjury.

2122
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 2: There are a lot of open ended issues, but everybody

2123
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 2: winked coming out of the strike of nineteen nineteen ninety four,

2124
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 2: which canceled the World Series. The home run chase put

2125
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,959
Speaker 2: butts back in seats and everybody loved it, and everybody

2126
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:00,879
Speaker 2: winked and looked the other way, probably including me, because

2127
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 2: we were witnessing history. So there you have it, Canadians,

2128
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 2: You're not the only one, but you're not gonna win

2129
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,880

01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:52,160

2143
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 2: the nation. See because as you'll give. Barry once said,

2144
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:57,600
Speaker 2: you can observe a lot by watching. That's exactly what

2145
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:00,360
Speaker 2: we do. Because in this great land of are from

2146
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 2: seed to oily sea and even around the planet. Will

2147
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:10,400
Speaker 2: people engage in activities that aren't real bright now? Oftentimes, well,

2148
01:59:10,440 --> 01:59:15,000
Speaker 2: those activities are just silly and nefarious and not particularly serious.

2149
01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 2: Other times they are far more daunting. They can end

2150
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,320
Speaker 2: you up in jail. They can make you end up

2151
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 2: in jail, usual for me to say, or worse. But

2152
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 2: no matter what the activity, no matter what the engagement,

2153
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 2: every time we observe these situations, we find ourselves scratching

2154
01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 2: our head and asking what kind of brand new fool

2155
01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 2: are you? So?

2156
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:46,120
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2157
01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:50,440
Speaker 2: Let's go? Man, now pumped? I'm pumped. This one is

2158
01:59:50,480 --> 01:59:53,080
Speaker 2: an all timer in terms of what really kind of

2159
01:59:53,160 --> 01:59:56,080
Speaker 2: brand new fool of you? Now, I can never in

2160
01:59:56,240 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 2: good conscience suggest to anybody that you should steal anything,

2161
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 2: rob anything, take something is not yours. But we take

2162
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:10,800
Speaker 2: you to Tulsa, Oklahoma, which I believe is a first.

2163
02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 2: And a suspect was arrested, and I'm going to get

2164
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:18,120
Speaker 2: to this story. It was not Dwight man Freddie of

2165
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:23,440
Speaker 2: the Tulsa King Fame, which is a great series on Netflix. Man,

2166
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:25,240
Speaker 2: it's a beauty. I wish it had come out with

2167
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:29,720
Speaker 2: season two. But I digress. That's the Vester stallone. According

2168
02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 2: to the Tulsa Police Department, officers were called out last

2169
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 2: Wednesday to a street seventh Street or thereabouts, as if

2170
02:00:39,120 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 2: I know, because there is apparently an armed robbery in progress.

2171
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Now here's where it DIDs wacky wacky, Yes, well the

2172
02:00:51,880 --> 02:00:55,080
Speaker 2: business they were called to. I mean, was it a bank, no?

2173
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:58,200
Speaker 2: Was it a grocery store no? Was it a jewelry

2174
02:00:58,200 --> 02:01:02,400
Speaker 2: store No? It was the Golden Beauty Supply Store in

2175
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:06,320
Speaker 2: their seventh in Sheridan. Yes, an armed robbery in progress.

2176
02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce you to David Neuby and

2177
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:15,160
Speaker 2: his picture online is not to be believed. Oh my god,

2178
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:18,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything on the line, and

2179
02:01:18,520 --> 02:01:22,480
Speaker 2: I almost just did. But when officers arrived at the

2180
02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:28,440
Speaker 2: beauty supply store, they looked at the suspect and they

2181
02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:32,960
Speaker 2: couldn't believe exactly what he had been holding up and

2182
02:01:33,080 --> 02:01:37,680
Speaker 2: robbing this Golden Beauty Supply store for. What was he

2183
02:01:37,760 --> 02:01:43,160
Speaker 2: there for? Of course, it was a ponytail hair extension

2184
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 2: and he was carrying a knife used in the robbery.

2185
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 2: And when police arrived, mister Newby was already wearing his

2186
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:59,000
Speaker 2: newfound prize having stolen a ponytail hair extension at the

2187
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:02,760
Speaker 2: Golden Beauty Supply store near Seventh and Sheridan holding an

2188
02:02:02,760 --> 02:02:11,280
Speaker 2: employee at knife point, which became armed robbery. I tell

2189
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:13,000
Speaker 2: you what I think. I just threw up on my mouth.

2190
02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:17,080
Speaker 2: This is one of the all time weird ones. And

2191
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:19,760
Speaker 2: some of the comments on Twitter were even better. On

2192
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:25,360
Speaker 2: the website that that report of this said, you know this,

2193
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:27,800
Speaker 2: this state must have a pitiful mental health sism. People

2194
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:29,880
Speaker 2: like him usually get passed around from jail to jail,

2195
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 2: never get any real help. Well, I don't know what's

2196
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:36,440
Speaker 2: going to help this dude, because if you're going to

2197
02:02:36,520 --> 02:02:38,440
Speaker 2: rob somebody, which is a bad idea in the first place,

2198
02:02:38,480 --> 02:02:40,640
Speaker 2: but you're gonna rob a Golden Beauty supply store at

2199
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:43,720
Speaker 2: knife point to get a ponytail hair extension and then

2200
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:47,480
Speaker 2: be wearing it when the cops arrived. Yeah, all I

2201
02:02:47,520 --> 02:02:51,120
Speaker 2: can say is, mister Nuby, what kind of brand new

2202
02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:55,760
Speaker 2: fool are you? And then, speaking of a brand new fool,

2203
02:02:55,800 --> 02:02:57,680
Speaker 2: I guess he's a newbie. Right. Oh boy, see what

2204
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:00,320
Speaker 2: I did there? All right, let's pass the but on

2205
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 2: to our guy Iyadi.

2206
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:06,920
Speaker 9: Okay, Well, h so for us this week's fool. The

2207
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:09,560
Speaker 9: story begins in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

2208
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:13,960
Speaker 2: Oh, finally back in Florida. Yeah, after job Ian.

2209
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:17,000
Speaker 9: Had to bring us back to Florida. It's been too long,

2210
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 9: so we're taking us back down there. And in Saint

2211
02:03:20,520 --> 02:03:25,320
Speaker 9: Petersburg police received reports of a possible vandalism in progress.

2212
02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:28,879
Speaker 9: So the callers said that they'd seen a man spray

2213
02:03:28,880 --> 02:03:33,840
Speaker 9: painting a building downtown. Uh So, officers obviously went out

2214
02:03:33,840 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 9: to the scene, and when they arrived, they searched the

2215
02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:39,480
Speaker 9: area and eventually found a man matching the description that

2216
02:03:39,520 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 9: the witnesses had given, and he was carrying a bag

2217
02:03:42,360 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 9: that was filled with spray paint can spray paint cans,

2218
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 9: so it was, you know, pretty damning evidence that this

2219
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:52,600
Speaker 9: was the guy. Officers asked him to identify himself so

2220
02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 9: they could figure out what his name was, and he

2221
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:57,840
Speaker 9: refused to answer, but that was until he was placed

2222
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:00,560
Speaker 9: under arrest. After they put him in the back of

2223
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:03,280
Speaker 9: the patrol car, the man told cops his name was

2224
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:07,320
Speaker 9: mister Monopoly and that is and that his birthday was

2225
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:11,520
Speaker 9: four twenty sixty nine. Just just comedic genius, this guy.

2226
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:14,600
Speaker 9: But the joke was on him, as the cops found

2227
02:04:14,600 --> 02:04:18,040
Speaker 9: his driver's license right after he said that, which identified

2228
02:04:18,160 --> 02:04:23,240
Speaker 9: him as thirty three year old Ryan Howard. So not

2229
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:26,880
Speaker 9: not only was Howard taken straight to jail without passing

2230
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:30,400
Speaker 9: going collecting two hundred dollars mister Monopoly joke haha, but

2231
02:04:30,440 --> 02:04:33,560
Speaker 9: he's now facing several charges done, thank you?

2232
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 2: Did he pass border walk in park place?

2233
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:37,680
Speaker 9: No? Nope, okay, none of it went straight to jail,

2234
02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:41,280
Speaker 9: mister Monopoly. He's now facing several charges, including an extra

2235
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:43,680
Speaker 9: one for providing a false name. So the joke really

2236
02:04:43,720 --> 02:04:46,720
Speaker 9: was on him and Ryan Howard, or should I call

2237
02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 9: you mister Monopoly? What kind of brand new fool are you?

2238
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:52,200
Speaker 2: That's a good one, Ian not a moving parts there. Now,

2239
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:54,120
Speaker 2: just to be clear, we are a sports talk show.

2240
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 2: This is not the Ryan Howard who played for the

2241
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Phillies. Correct.

2242
02:04:58,520 --> 02:05:00,520
Speaker 9: That is correct, at least, don't I think so?

2243
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:03,480
Speaker 2: No, Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna go out on a limit.

2244
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 2: Assume it's not. And the only reason I asked set up.

2245
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 2: You guys know the old Bob Yucker joke, right he goes?

2246
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:12,120
Speaker 2: You know I used to one night I got pulled

2247
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 2: over three in the morning by the Philadelphia Police, and

2248
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:18,320
Speaker 2: I was fined three hundred dollars, one hundred dollars for

2249
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:21,360
Speaker 2: speeding and two hundred for being with the Phillies. That's

2250
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 2: when they were That's when they were bad, true Bob

2251
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:26,840
Speaker 2: Yucker story. All right, good job being excellent, and I'm

2252
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:30,440

02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:10,040
Speaker 9: I'm I'm gonna guess Carmelo Anthony.

2282
02:07:10,440 --> 02:07:14,440
Speaker 2: Not Carmelo Anthony. I have more twenty point games in

2283
02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:16,879
Speaker 2: the history of men's basketball in the Olympics than anybody

2284
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:19,920
Speaker 2: else with a total of eleven. Mark Ramsey, what my.

2285
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:22,640
Speaker 9: Name is it? Lebron?

2286
02:07:23,440 --> 02:07:24,160
Speaker 2: Not Lebron.

2287
02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:30,360
Speaker 9: Kevin Durant, guys, that was my next guest. Yeah, all right, we.

2288
02:07:30,320 --> 02:07:34,000
Speaker 2: Got college football just around the corner, all right. The

2289
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:37,080
Speaker 2: last time Ole Miss was ranked number one in the country,

2290
02:07:37,240 --> 02:07:40,200
Speaker 2: I was their starting quarterback, Ian Roddy, what my name?

2291
02:07:42,600 --> 02:07:44,040
Speaker 9: This is wrong with Shaye Patterson.

2292
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Well it's not Shaye Patterson. That's a good name, man,

2293
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:49,920
Speaker 2: And I wonder what he's doing. You know, he transferred

2294
02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:52,840
Speaker 2: to Michigan. Was one of Hardball's desperate moves and it

2295
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:55,440
Speaker 2: almost worked, but it didn't. I liked him, you remember

2296
02:07:55,560 --> 02:07:56,080
Speaker 2: him right in?

2297
02:07:56,160 --> 02:07:58,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, solid player. I wonder if he's in the

2298
02:07:58,080 --> 02:07:59,240
Speaker 9: Canadian Football League now.

2299
02:07:59,320 --> 02:08:01,040
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he was kind of a runner like to.

2300
02:08:01,080 --> 02:08:03,360
Speaker 2: He's a good player, but it's not Jaye Patterson. Last

2301
02:08:03,360 --> 02:08:05,840
Speaker 2: time Old Miss, the Old Miss Rebels were number one

2302
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:08,680
Speaker 2: of the nation. I was the starting quarterback. Mark Ramsey went.

2303
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:12,440
Speaker 9: My name Alex Smith, Well.

2304
02:08:12,280 --> 02:08:14,080
Speaker 2: That's a shoe, that's I love the name. Of course,

2305
02:08:14,120 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Alex Smith came out of Utah, but still I love

2306
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:22,440
Speaker 2: the effort. Guys, you're gonna kick yourselves. It was Dak Prescott, Oh,

2307
02:08:23,400 --> 02:08:25,240
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, Old Miss.

2308
02:08:26,880 --> 02:08:30,120
Speaker 9: Was he in Mississippi State or am I wait a minute,

2309
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:32,120
Speaker 9: I know that one of those schools is number one.

2310
02:08:32,280 --> 02:08:34,640
Speaker 2: You know, I was due for a biff double check.

2311
02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:36,360
Speaker 2: It was one of those schools. But the last time

2312
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 2: they were number one, Dak Prescott was the quarterback, so

2313
02:08:39,120 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 2: I might have biffed it. Old miss mistake, good good catch,

2314
02:08:42,320 --> 02:08:45,880
Speaker 2: good catchy and outstanding. Uh can you get it while

Speaker 9: It says Mississippi State.

2317
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:50,400
Speaker 2: Then you're right. I knew, I knew it was one

2318
02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 2: of the two. And in my haste maybe I'm sleep depride.

2319
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:55,880
Speaker 2: But regardless had the state right, and they were number

2320
02:08:55,880 --> 02:08:58,680
Speaker 2: one last time, mississ State. Mississippi State was number one.

2321
02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott was the quarterback. All right, forgive me no

2322
02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 2: news to me. I go to confession twice next. All right.

2323
02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:10,200

02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:12,480

Speaker 2: Pete lives here in Vegas. I met him a few times.

2333
02:09:34,640 --> 02:09:37,480
Speaker 2: I like Pete, and I say, what though I think

2334
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 2: the jig's up. I don't think he's ever getting in

2335
02:09:39,160 --> 02:09:42,120
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, not while he's alive. So but

2336

Speaker 2: we'll talk to Andy about that, all right. I became

2337

02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:20,000
Speaker 2: the name. All Right, we'll see if I can get it.

2434
02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm the only Chicago Bears quarterback in the last thirty

2435
02:15:23,920 --> 02:15:26,440
Speaker 2: five years to be named All Pro. Ian Roddy went

2436
02:15:26,480 --> 02:15:27,000
Speaker 2: my name.

2437
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:31,640
Speaker 9: Once again. I'm gonna go with Jay Cutler.

2438
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:36,200
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, guys, it is Mitch Trubisky.

2439
02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:37,080
Speaker 9: No way.

2440
02:15:37,600 --> 02:15:39,720
Speaker 2: You know what mit I gotta tell you, man. People

2441
02:15:39,800 --> 02:15:45,240
Speaker 2: dog him. He was like twenty eight and sixteen, completed,

2442
02:15:45,280 --> 02:15:48,240
Speaker 2: sixty eight percent of his passes, went to the playoffs

2443
02:15:48,240 --> 02:15:51,000
Speaker 2: two out of three years, and if not for the

2444
02:15:51,040 --> 02:15:53,320
Speaker 2: double point kick, they would have won a playoff game.

2445
02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:55,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, there was that one year when Nagy was still

2446
02:15:55,920 --> 02:15:58,160
Speaker 9: their head coach. In Trubisky, he was. He had a

2447
02:15:58,200 --> 02:15:59,880
Speaker 9: decent year. I think it might have been his sophomore

2448
02:15:59,920 --> 02:16:00,520
Speaker 9: ye or something.

2449
02:16:00,560 --> 02:16:04,320
Speaker 2: The guy. They hate the guy. And with all due

2450
02:16:04,320 --> 02:16:07,160
Speaker 2: respect to Justin Fields, because I respect Justin Fields. He's

2451
02:16:07,200 --> 02:16:09,960
Speaker 2: ten and twenty eight. Never put up any numbers at all,

2452
02:16:10,560 --> 02:16:13,080
Speaker 2: you know, I mean ranked the thirtieth, are blown all

2453
02:16:13,120 --> 02:16:15,560
Speaker 2: every major statistical category in the last six years. So

2454
02:16:15,680 --> 02:16:19,240
Speaker 2: look four years, three years, whatever, it's water under the bridge,

2455
02:16:19,280 --> 02:16:21,880
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. We'll see what Kayleb Williams can do,

2456
02:16:22,040 --> 02:16:24,200
Speaker 2: and we'll see what Justin Fields can do with new

2457
02:16:24,240 --> 02:16:26,880
Speaker 2: life in Pittsburgh. I wouldn't hold my breath though. And

2458
02:16:26,960 --> 02:16:29,280
Speaker 2: by the way, I like Justin Fields. He was brilliant

2459
02:16:29,280 --> 02:16:32,760
Speaker 2: at Ohio State and he's a stellar human being and

2460
02:16:32,800 --> 02:16:35,920
Speaker 2: a great locker room guy. But his default mechanism is

2461
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:38,320
Speaker 2: to run. You've got to be able to operate from

2462
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:41,080
Speaker 2: the pocket, and after thirty eight starts, if you haven't

2463
02:16:41,120 --> 02:16:45,360
Speaker 2: noticed that, that might not be his his strength. By

2464
02:16:45,400 --> 02:16:47,240
Speaker 2: the way, shortly after the show to later, our podcasts

02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:09,560
Speaker 2: performer in the Olympics and the guy have a lot

2473
02:17:09,600 --> 02:17:13,120
Speaker 2: of respect for Kevin, Durant had some interesting things to

2474
02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:17,959
Speaker 2: say the other day as he defended Steve Kerr. He

2475
02:17:18,120 --> 02:17:21,200
Speaker 2: voiced his true opinion and he made a hell of

2476
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:23,760
Speaker 2: a lot of sense. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to

2477
02:17:23,800 --> 02:17:26,360
Speaker 2: live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tirat dot com studios.

2478
02:17:26,440 --> 02:17:28,840
Speaker 2: Keep it locked you listening to the Bernie Fradle Show

2479
02:17:28,879 --> 02:17:40,960
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right back at the Bernie

2480
02:17:40,959 --> 02:17:43,840
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming to live from the

2481
02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:48,760
Speaker 2: tarrac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Well, Chris

2482
02:17:48,840 --> 02:17:50,520
Speaker 2: Rock once said, you don't get a lot of credit

2483
02:17:50,560 --> 02:17:52,800
Speaker 2: for doing what you're supposed to do. But I think

2484
02:17:52,879 --> 02:17:55,200
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr deserves a lot of credit. If you haven't

2485
02:17:55,240 --> 02:17:58,520
Speaker 2: noticed by now, his approach to the rotation has been

2486
02:17:58,560 --> 02:18:02,720
Speaker 2: to give players, well, put them in strategic positions, give

2487
02:18:02,760 --> 02:18:06,720
Speaker 2: them strategic minutes so that they can take advantage of

2488
02:18:06,760 --> 02:18:10,560
Speaker 2: their skills based on the opponents are playing. It's been

2489
02:18:10,600 --> 02:18:13,960
Speaker 2: a sound strategy, but of course it's been criticized because

2490
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:16,720
Speaker 2: of who he benched. Remember just a few days ago

2491
02:18:17,080 --> 02:18:19,360
Speaker 2: he got a ton of heat after benching Jason Tatum

2492
02:18:19,360 --> 02:18:22,920
Speaker 2: and Tyrese Haliburton against Serbia. Kerr said, this is all

2493
02:18:22,959 --> 02:18:26,879
Speaker 2: part of the plan. Relax. He did play Tatum in

2494
02:18:26,879 --> 02:18:29,000
Speaker 2: the next game against sal Sudan, put him in the

2495
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:31,480
Speaker 2: starting lineup, but then that night it was Joel Embiid

2496
02:18:31,480 --> 02:18:36,280
Speaker 2: who got benched. He played zero minutes. You know, the

2497
02:18:36,280 --> 02:18:39,359
Speaker 2: great Lily Tomlin once said, I always wanted to be somebody.

2498
02:18:39,760 --> 02:18:42,760
Speaker 2: I just wish I'd been more specific. You want to

2499
02:18:42,800 --> 02:18:47,440
Speaker 2: be specific, be Kevin Durant. Love this dude, as I

2500
02:18:47,480 --> 02:18:51,040
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, all time leading score men's US Olympic team,

2501
02:18:51,080 --> 02:18:53,879
Speaker 2: all time leading rebounder more twenty four games than anybody else.

2502
02:18:54,240 --> 02:18:56,879
Speaker 2: He had a different perspective. He turns out to be

2503
02:18:56,920 --> 02:19:00,680
Speaker 2: the adult in the room, he said. Quote last game,

2504
02:19:00,720 --> 02:19:03,840
Speaker 2: we had a champion and an NBA guy not play

2505
02:19:03,879 --> 02:19:06,920
Speaker 2: any minutes, and tonight we had an MVP not play

2506
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:11,040
Speaker 2: any minutes. They didn't complain. We had guys who stepped

2507
02:19:11,120 --> 02:19:15,600
Speaker 2: up and filled the rules roles perfectly. You play to

2508
02:19:15,680 --> 02:19:19,160
Speaker 2: win the game, herm Edwards. And it turns out whatever

2509
02:19:19,320 --> 02:19:21,960
Speaker 2: NBA drama exists here in the United States, and of

2510
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:24,560
Speaker 2: course it does on a nightley basis, they didn't pack

2511
02:19:24,600 --> 02:19:26,400
Speaker 2: it with him when they took it to Paris. The

2512
02:19:26,480 --> 02:19:28,959
Speaker 2: approach is working for USA. They won their first three

2513
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:31,720
Speaker 2: games by sixty one points to the number one seed.

2514
02:19:31,959 --> 02:19:36,160
Speaker 2: They head into the medal round. They play Brazil, who's

2515
02:19:36,200 --> 02:19:39,080
Speaker 2: got a forty one year old point guard. All right,

2516
02:19:39,440 --> 02:19:42,039
Speaker 2: need I say more? They're headed to a collision course.

2517
02:19:42,040 --> 02:19:45,440
Speaker 2: I think with will either Canada or Germany, mainly probably Canada.

2518
02:19:45,840 --> 02:19:47,440
Speaker 2: They're going to win the gold medal. By the time

2519
02:19:47,480 --> 02:19:50,440
Speaker 2: I sign on next Saturday night, they'll have won the

2520
02:19:50,520 --> 02:19:56,120
Speaker 2: gold medal. Meanwhile, what has Caleb Williams won? Well, they

2521
02:19:56,120 --> 02:19:59,640
Speaker 2: want a tongue lashing from Amani Tumor. You won't believe

2522
02:19:59,640 --> 02:20:02,640
Speaker 2: what he to say. I'll share it. Coming up first,

2523
02:20:02,720 --> 02:20:05,480
Speaker 2: go back to our guy Dan Beyer with the latest.

2524

Speaker 2: Thanks Bernie.

2525
02:20:07,920 --> 02:20:10,360
Speaker 7: The Dodgers got back on the winning track on Saturday

2526
02:20:10,440 --> 02:20:13,120
Speaker 7: night with a ten to nothing win against the Oakland

2527
02:20:13,120 --> 02:20:16,840
Speaker 7: A's Shoheyotani kind of stealing the show three stolen bases,

2528
02:20:17,240 --> 02:20:20,480
Speaker 7: joins the thirty to thirty club and Jack Flaherty six

2529
02:20:20,600 --> 02:20:24,760
Speaker 7: innings of work, seven strikeouts, allowing just five hits and

2530
02:20:25,400 --> 02:20:29,320
Speaker 7: zero earned runs in his Dodgers debut. Dodgers still four

2531
02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:31,280
Speaker 7: and a half games up on the Padres in the

2532

Speaker 2: Forty one to zero.

2558
02:21:53,879 --> 02:21:56,200
Speaker 7: Won by unanimous decision on Saturday, and I had to

2559
02:21:56,200 --> 02:22:01,240
Speaker 7: claim the WBA Junior middleweight title. Helpin's restructured the contract

2560
02:22:01,280 --> 02:22:04,520
Speaker 7: of wide receiver Tyreek Hill that deals worth ninety million

2561
02:22:04,560 --> 02:22:07,160
Speaker 7: dollars over the next three years, with Hill getting sixty

2562
02:22:07,160 --> 02:22:09,000
Speaker 7: five million dollars guaranteed.

2563
02:22:09,320 --> 02:22:12,160
Speaker 2: Bernie back to you Ah the dual sit Tones is

2564
02:22:12,240 --> 02:22:15,400
Speaker 2: the Great Dan Byer, the man for all seasons on

2565
02:22:15,440 --> 02:22:17,160
Speaker 2: our network. You'll hear him in about six and a

2566
02:22:17,200 --> 02:22:22,360
Speaker 2: half hours plying his trade, and he does it quite well.

2567
02:22:24,040 --> 02:22:26,960
Speaker 2: Speaking of flying his trade, well, Caleb Williams has you

2568
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:28,920
Speaker 2: have to take a snap? I don't know what the

2569
02:22:28,920 --> 02:22:30,400
Speaker 2: hell these guys supposed to do to learn the game

2570
02:22:30,400 --> 02:22:32,360
Speaker 2: on a computer. And then also the real bullets fly

2571
02:22:32,440 --> 02:22:35,360
Speaker 2: at September eighth, and you wonder why you can't find

2572
02:22:35,400 --> 02:22:39,199
Speaker 2: you took us with both hands. Former Michigan Wolverine wide

2573
02:22:39,240 --> 02:22:42,400
Speaker 2: receiver and erstwhile New York Giant wide receiver Amani Tumor,

2574
02:22:42,440 --> 02:22:45,640
Speaker 2: who was on the Carton Show the other day, well,

2575
02:22:45,720 --> 02:22:50,560
Speaker 2: he he raised an eyebrow regarding Caleb Williams after the

2576
02:22:50,680 --> 02:22:54,560
Speaker 2: number one overall pick showed I see this in their

2577
02:22:54,640 --> 02:22:59,119
Speaker 2: quotes real leadership. When he implored his teammates to take

2578
02:22:59,200 --> 02:23:03,600
Speaker 2: better care of the live crew, what did Amni Tumors say, quote,

2579
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:07,520
Speaker 2: He's Russell Wilson two point zero. This is not gonna

2580
02:23:07,520 --> 02:23:10,119
Speaker 2: go over. Well, some rookie is gonna come in who

2581
02:23:10,120 --> 02:23:14,800
Speaker 2: hasn't played one snap talking wearing the fingernail polish. Now

2582
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:17,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna come in here and tell me who's been

2583
02:23:17,040 --> 02:23:19,560
Speaker 2: here and who's been through the struggle that I need

2584
02:23:19,560 --> 02:23:23,360
Speaker 2: to clean up. No, how about you, rookie, how about

2585
02:23:23,400 --> 02:23:26,240
Speaker 2: you clean up after me? Don't give me this crap.

2586
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't like it at all. I feel rookie should

2587
02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:32,360
Speaker 2: earn the respect. Just because you got drafted number one

2588
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:36,040
Speaker 2: doesn't mean nothing to me. I repleate with the double negative.

2589
02:23:36,120 --> 02:23:39,160
Speaker 2: Love it not the first time Caleb Williams and his

2590
02:23:39,360 --> 02:23:43,160
Speaker 2: quote unique personality has come under fire. You know, Critics

2591
02:23:43,360 --> 02:23:47,000
Speaker 2: ripped Caleb Williams for having a pink phone, pink fingernails

2592
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:49,520
Speaker 2: at a usc women's basketball game, and then when he

2593
02:23:49,560 --> 02:23:52,280
Speaker 2: cried in his mother's arms after the tough loss last November,

2594
02:23:53,080 --> 02:23:56,080
Speaker 2: just saying I wasn't one of those people. I don't care.

2595
02:23:57,240 --> 02:24:01,520
Speaker 2: And uh look, there are play many of other folks

2596
02:24:01,560 --> 02:24:06,840
Speaker 2: who have maintained their posture that Caleb Williams antics will

2597
02:24:06,879 --> 02:24:09,160
Speaker 2: have nothing to do now that he's a quarterback in

2598
02:24:09,240 --> 02:24:13,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. All right, maybe that's true. Don't tell me.

2599
02:24:14,440 --> 02:24:16,760
Speaker 2: Show me you want to be yourself, you want to

2600
02:24:16,760 --> 02:24:18,520
Speaker 2: be Kayleb Williams, You want to put from the rough,

2601
02:24:18,600 --> 02:24:20,760
Speaker 2: do whatever the hell you think. I covered the Detroit

2602
02:24:20,800 --> 02:24:23,119
Speaker 2: Lions for ten years pre and post saw it all.

2603
02:24:23,200 --> 02:24:26,279
Speaker 2: Trust me, I saw it all. I saw Barry Sanders

2604
02:24:26,360 --> 02:24:29,960
Speaker 2: last season, and I saw Rod Marinelli take the team

2605
02:24:30,080 --> 02:24:32,720
Speaker 2: go through Zhe to sixteen. I have seen it all.

2606
02:24:32,879 --> 02:24:38,320
Speaker 2: When the real bullets fly in September, all the fun

2607
02:24:38,320 --> 02:24:39,879
Speaker 2: and games go out the winter. They just of course,

2608
02:24:39,920 --> 02:24:42,320
Speaker 2: it is all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

2609
02:24:42,680 --> 02:24:45,280
Speaker 2: It's about to get real. I suggest you give him

2610
02:24:45,280 --> 02:24:47,800
Speaker 2: a few snaps under center, of course, after he's done

2611
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:50,280
Speaker 2: telling everybody to clean up the locker room. Coming up,

2612
02:24:50,320 --> 02:24:52,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna be joined by the great Andy Furman. I

2613
02:24:52,360 --> 02:24:54,760
Speaker 2: don't know if you have seen. I hope you have.

2614
02:24:54,920 --> 02:24:57,240
Speaker 2: If you haven't, you're first in line for front of

2615
02:24:57,240 --> 02:25:00,400
Speaker 2: the Botomy Charlie Hustle. In the matter of Pete, it's

2616
02:25:00,440 --> 02:25:03,960
Speaker 2: a four part HBO series Petez eighty three. Now this

2617
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:06,440
Speaker 2: is his last hurrah. I don't like his chances to

2618
02:25:06,440 --> 02:25:08,360
Speaker 2: get into the Hall of Fame, but I don't think

2619
02:25:08,400 --> 02:25:11,440
Speaker 2: it serves any fruitful purpose anymore to keep him out. Now,

2620
02:25:11,480 --> 02:25:12,920
Speaker 2: I've met a Pete a few times, but you know

2621
02:25:12,920 --> 02:25:17,199
Speaker 2: who really knows him, Andy Furman. Don't miss this conversation.

Speaker 3: You know what the best thing about your show not you?

2637
02:25:59,400 --> 02:26:02,400
Speaker 3: The music, your music to break Music's I love it?

2638
02:26:02,480 --> 02:26:06,120
Speaker 3: I read, Oh I love it, love it my madness.

2639
02:26:06,200 --> 02:26:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah so Andy, So let's let's dive into this the

2640
02:26:09,640 --> 02:26:14,280
Speaker 2: Pedrose documentary four parts as Spectacular. Before I get into

2641
02:26:14,280 --> 02:26:19,680
Speaker 2: your long time relationship with Pete, and before I ask

2642
02:26:19,720 --> 02:26:22,240
Speaker 2: you if you're wearing the alligator shoes he bought you.

2643
02:26:22,879 --> 02:26:26,520
Speaker 2: Did the documentary, Andy hurt Pete's chances of getting into

2644
02:26:26,560 --> 02:26:28,280
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. That seems to be the narrative.

2645
02:26:29,080 --> 02:26:31,160
Speaker 3: You know, I think every time that he gets out

2646
02:26:31,200 --> 02:26:33,400
Speaker 3: there and his name is out there, you're going to

2647
02:26:33,480 --> 02:26:36,320
Speaker 3: have the affections of those who love him and those

2648
02:26:36,360 --> 02:26:39,120
Speaker 3: who hate him. Some say he's a crook and something

2649
02:26:39,160 --> 02:26:41,959
Speaker 3: he's not. So I don't know if it changed many

2650
02:26:41,959 --> 02:26:44,680
Speaker 3: people's minds. If people think he's a bummed, they'll say

2651
02:26:44,680 --> 02:26:46,280
Speaker 3: he's still a bum to say, I told you so.

2652
02:26:46,640 --> 02:26:48,520
Speaker 3: If they love him, they feel bad for the guy.

2653
02:26:48,760 --> 02:26:50,760
Speaker 3: They're still in his corner. So I'm not so certain.

2654
02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:54,560
Speaker 3: Although I thought he came across a little crotchety, a

2655
02:26:54,560 --> 02:26:57,400
Speaker 3: little you know what I mean, more of an old

2656
02:26:57,480 --> 02:27:01,120
Speaker 3: man man. You know, he's showing that age. Right When

2657
02:27:01,120 --> 02:27:02,320
Speaker 3: are you gonna put me in the Hall of Fame

2658
02:27:02,480 --> 02:27:04,520
Speaker 3: when I die? I mean when things like that. It

2659
02:27:04,680 --> 02:27:06,480
Speaker 3: just that kind of got me a little bit, and

2660
02:27:06,640 --> 02:27:09,199
Speaker 3: it kind of told off a reporter when the producer

2661
02:27:09,280 --> 02:27:11,480
Speaker 3: was asking him questions. So that was not the Pete

2662
02:27:11,560 --> 02:27:13,760
Speaker 3: Rose that I remember, So I don't want to remember

2663
02:27:13,840 --> 02:27:14,520
Speaker 3: him in that vein.

2664
02:27:15,800 --> 02:27:21,440
Speaker 2: Well. Absolutely, Look, Pete Rose is a colorful guy. He's funny,

2665
02:27:21,480 --> 02:27:24,080
Speaker 2: he's witty, he's a life of the party. I've only

2666
02:27:24,080 --> 02:27:26,080
Speaker 2: met him a couple three times. Have yucked it up

2667
02:27:26,080 --> 02:27:28,720
Speaker 2: with him? You've known him to the point back to

2668
02:27:28,760 --> 02:27:31,199
Speaker 2: his days at the racetrack. Talk a little bit about

2669
02:27:31,240 --> 02:27:33,359
Speaker 2: your relationship with Pete and the Pete.

2670
02:27:33,120 --> 02:27:34,119
Speaker 11: You know well.

2671
02:27:34,200 --> 02:27:37,640
Speaker 3: I was a pr guy at Latonia Racecourse in Florence, Kentucky,

2672
02:27:37,720 --> 02:27:40,480
Speaker 3: and then during the offseason, obviously Pete lived in Cincinnati,

2673
02:27:40,879 --> 02:27:43,720
Speaker 3: and he was out there. We raced thoroughbred races at night,

2674
02:27:43,760 --> 02:27:46,000
Speaker 3: thoroughbred horse racing in the evening. He'd come out there

2675
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:48,160
Speaker 3: every night and he'd sit out on the table in

2676
02:27:48,200 --> 02:27:49,920
Speaker 3: the dining room. But many a time he wanted to

2677
02:27:49,920 --> 02:27:51,240
Speaker 3: be alone, so we put him up in the press

2678
02:27:51,240 --> 02:27:53,680
Speaker 3: box with us, and I got to know him fairly well.

2679
02:27:53,680 --> 02:27:55,640
Speaker 3: And one year he went on a tour of Japan

2680
02:27:56,360 --> 02:27:58,600
Speaker 3: and he came right off the plane at the airport

2681
02:27:58,600 --> 02:28:01,080
Speaker 3: because our race truck was somewhe and close to the

2682
02:28:01,080 --> 02:28:04,440
Speaker 3: greatest Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky airport, and he came with a

2683
02:28:04,480 --> 02:28:05,720
Speaker 3: big overnight beg.

2684
02:28:06,040 --> 02:28:07,440
Speaker 11: He said, any come here, take a look at this.

2685
02:28:07,480 --> 02:28:09,119
Speaker 11: He opened the big There must have been one hundred.

2686
02:28:08,920 --> 02:28:11,400
Speaker 3: Thousand dollars in cash in that big I mean, that's

2687
02:28:11,400 --> 02:28:13,920
Speaker 3: the way Pete was, and he laughed, he joked, I'm

2688
02:28:13,959 --> 02:28:16,000
Speaker 3: not so certain when he went to the races he

2689
02:28:16,040 --> 02:28:18,240
Speaker 3: wanted to win. I think he loved to lose to

2690
02:28:18,280 --> 02:28:20,720
Speaker 3: keep on playing. I mean, it was a mentality there

2691
02:28:20,800 --> 02:28:23,080
Speaker 3: just to bet. And you know, we did not have

2692
02:28:23,120 --> 02:28:26,080
Speaker 3: the greatest horses at Latoonia Race because there's a lot

2693
02:28:26,080 --> 02:28:28,480
Speaker 3: of nags that race there. So it was very difficult,

2694
02:28:28,879 --> 02:28:30,879
Speaker 3: very difficult to make a wager. But you look at

2695
02:28:30,920 --> 02:28:32,959
Speaker 3: the toadboard and he'd come out there and make a

2696
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:35,360
Speaker 3: bet and he changed the odds from like twenty five

2697
02:28:35,440 --> 02:28:36,560
Speaker 3: to one to night to five.

2698
02:28:36,800 --> 02:28:38,039
Speaker 11: That's the way Pete Rose was.

2699
02:28:38,879 --> 02:28:41,480
Speaker 2: Well, you're onto something very insightful, Andy Beaus. This is

2700
02:28:41,520 --> 02:28:45,400
Speaker 2: someone who lives in Las Vegas and been, you know,

2701
02:28:45,400 --> 02:28:50,080
Speaker 2: know my way around this whole genre. The vast majority

2702
02:28:50,080 --> 02:28:52,080
Speaker 2: of betters don't get high winning the bet. They get

2703
02:28:52,120 --> 02:28:55,400
Speaker 2: high making the bet because they're action junkies. They're adrenaline junkies.

2704
02:28:55,400 --> 02:28:58,160
Speaker 2: Clearly Pete was, which caused him to even bet on

2705
02:28:58,240 --> 02:29:01,080
Speaker 2: his own team, which he finally admitted to. I think

2706
02:29:01,160 --> 02:29:04,800
Speaker 2: where he's turning. I think where the thing turns south

2707
02:29:04,920 --> 02:29:07,320
Speaker 2: is that Andy, did you get the impression because I

2708
02:29:07,360 --> 02:29:10,600
Speaker 2: watched all four episodes twice that he started to play

2709
02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:13,360
Speaker 2: the victim a little bit that I've paid my thirty

2710
02:29:13,360 --> 02:29:15,640
Speaker 2: five years, what are you gonna do? Blah blah blah.

2711
02:29:15,680 --> 02:29:17,240
Speaker 2: Did you get that impression of my wrong?

2712
02:29:17,680 --> 02:29:19,680
Speaker 3: I did get it, And you know what, I believe

2713
02:29:19,760 --> 02:29:21,720
Speaker 3: him in his corner. And maybe it's not fair for

2714
02:29:21,800 --> 02:29:23,880
Speaker 3: me to say that because I'm a fan.

2715
02:29:24,320 --> 02:29:25,600
Speaker 11: I love the guy, I really do.

2716
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:27,800
Speaker 3: But you know, edwardo Perez said the same thing, and

2717
02:29:27,879 --> 02:29:29,320
Speaker 3: when I asked him question, he said, well, it's not

2718
02:29:29,320 --> 02:29:30,400
Speaker 3: going to be fair. I'm not going to give you

2719
02:29:30,400 --> 02:29:32,680
Speaker 3: an honest answer because I'm in love with Pete Rose.

2720
02:29:32,680 --> 02:29:35,640
Speaker 3: I knew him as a young kid, so it is

2721
02:29:36,120 --> 02:29:39,199
Speaker 3: that way. And I think that was a Leslie Visser

2722
02:29:39,360 --> 02:29:41,959
Speaker 3: was basically an interview and she said, how do you

2723
02:29:41,959 --> 02:29:44,240
Speaker 3: go to Cooperston? How do you go to Cooperstown to

2724
02:29:44,240 --> 02:29:46,240
Speaker 3: look for the old time leading hitter in the game

2725
02:29:46,280 --> 02:29:49,000
Speaker 3: of baseball? And his plot is not there? Boom, that's

2726
02:29:49,040 --> 02:29:51,240
Speaker 3: it right there. That's the answer right there. That has

2727
02:29:51,280 --> 02:29:53,360
Speaker 3: to be given. I mean, he's got to be there

2728
02:29:53,400 --> 02:29:54,720
Speaker 3: because of what he's accomplished.

2729
02:29:54,800 --> 02:29:58,600
Speaker 11: Did he bet? Did his betting alter the hits? The

2730
02:29:58,640 --> 02:30:00,720
Speaker 11: forty two fifty six hits that he got. I don't

2731
02:30:00,760 --> 02:30:01,520
Speaker 11: think it did.

2732
02:30:01,840 --> 02:30:04,879
Speaker 2: No, that's my biggest Well, first of all, my two

2733
02:30:04,879 --> 02:30:08,920
Speaker 2: biggest arguments are, I don't think it any longer serves

2734
02:30:08,959 --> 02:30:11,800
Speaker 2: any fruitful purpose to keep Pete out. It's been thirty

2735
02:30:11,840 --> 02:30:15,600
Speaker 2: five years. Let's make this a positive somehow, Number one,

2736
02:30:16,160 --> 02:30:19,920
Speaker 2: number two, all of his you know, hitting exploits pre

2737
02:30:20,080 --> 02:30:24,039
Speaker 2: date whatever betting accusations there were. And even Rob Manfred said,

2738
02:30:24,040 --> 02:30:25,840
Speaker 2: this is a museum. You said the same thing, Andy,

2739
02:30:25,879 --> 02:30:28,200
Speaker 2: this is a museum. Right. But one thing I want

2740
02:30:28,200 --> 02:30:31,360
Speaker 2: to talk about Johnny Bench, and you have I think

2741
02:30:31,360 --> 02:30:34,240
Speaker 2: in him and knowledge of the honest relationship Bench had

2742
02:30:34,280 --> 02:30:39,840
Speaker 2: with Rose. Bench declined to participate in this in this documentary.

2743
02:30:39,920 --> 02:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Give your thoughts on the Rose. Yeah.

2744
02:30:41,640 --> 02:30:44,800
Speaker 3: They asked Johnny Bench, basically, do you think Pete deserves

2745
02:30:44,800 --> 02:30:46,200
Speaker 3: to be in the Hall of Fame? And they kind

2746
02:30:46,200 --> 02:30:48,640
Speaker 3: of jumped all over the reporter and said, wait a minute.

2747
02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:50,760
Speaker 3: You know there's a rule you if you bet, you

2748
02:30:50,760 --> 02:30:52,560
Speaker 3: can't get him. First of all, you're right, Bernie, he

2749
02:30:52,680 --> 02:30:55,160
Speaker 3: bet basically when he managed the ball club, not when

2750
02:30:55,160 --> 02:30:58,959
Speaker 3: he played number one, number two. Johnny Bench, basically from

2751
02:30:59,120 --> 02:31:01,959
Speaker 3: day one was envious and jealous of Pete Rose, because

2752
02:31:01,959 --> 02:31:04,760
Speaker 3: Pete Rose is a native son of Cincinnati, born and

2753
02:31:05,080 --> 02:31:08,360
Speaker 3: born here and loved here and still loved here with

2754
02:31:08,400 --> 02:31:10,720
Speaker 3: it with a name Pete Rose Way, He's got a

2755
02:31:10,720 --> 02:31:13,080
Speaker 3: street name after him where Johnny Bench has a street

2756
02:31:13,160 --> 02:31:15,240
Speaker 3: named after him where and Binga, Oklahoma.

2757
02:31:15,320 --> 02:31:16,400
Speaker 11: All right, I get it.

2758
02:31:16,480 --> 02:31:19,760
Speaker 3: You know your two athletes, and you're competing on one team,

2759
02:31:20,080 --> 02:31:22,920
Speaker 3: but basically one is loved and one is basically kind

2760
02:31:22,920 --> 02:31:25,400
Speaker 3: of a one in one a And Johnny Bencher's the one,

2761
02:31:25,440 --> 02:31:27,920
Speaker 3: a greatest catcher ever in baseball, no doubt about that.

2762
02:31:28,120 --> 02:31:30,360
Speaker 3: But in Cincinnati was not loved as much as Pete

2763
02:31:30,440 --> 02:31:30,920
Speaker 3: Rose was.

2764
02:31:32,160 --> 02:31:34,160
Speaker 2: Well, and that's very true. We're talking with Andy Furman.

2765
02:31:34,200 --> 02:31:35,840
Speaker 2: You'll hear him on these air waves coming up in

2766
02:31:35,840 --> 02:31:40,800
Speaker 2: about twelve minutes with Bucky Brooks, Cincinnati native, longtime friend

2767
02:31:40,840 --> 02:31:44,039
Speaker 2: of Pete Rose. Before I get to what I want

2768
02:31:44,080 --> 02:31:46,040
Speaker 2: to talk about next, tell the story about the time

2769
02:31:46,080 --> 02:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Pete Rose botch you the alligator shoes.

2770
02:31:47,760 --> 02:31:50,039
Speaker 11: Oh this is you know, Peet, He's a character.

2771
02:31:50,160 --> 02:31:52,000
Speaker 3: So I be at the race truck every night, and

2772
02:31:52,040 --> 02:31:53,680
Speaker 3: sometimes you go down to the winning circle to make

2773
02:31:53,680 --> 02:31:56,080
Speaker 3: a presentation, take a picture wherever it may be. Came

2774
02:31:56,080 --> 02:31:57,560
Speaker 3: back to the press box and Pete looks at me.

2775
02:31:57,600 --> 02:32:00,320
Speaker 3: He says, hey, hey, and the little shoes. I can't

2776
02:32:00,160 --> 02:32:02,760
Speaker 3: stand there ugly shoes. Where are you wearing those shoes?

2777
02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:04,640
Speaker 3: So I said, well, you know, what are you gonna do?

2778
02:32:04,640 --> 02:32:06,720
Speaker 3: The next day he comes back with a box. In

2779
02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:09,760
Speaker 3: the boxes a pair of alligated shoes, about five hundred

2780
02:32:09,760 --> 02:32:12,120
Speaker 3: bucks a pair of shoes. Really, I said, what's that?

2781
02:32:12,160 --> 02:32:13,840
Speaker 3: He's there for you? So we need to wear these?

2782
02:32:14,160 --> 02:32:16,160
Speaker 3: I said, Pete, I really can't wear them because if

2783
02:32:16,200 --> 02:32:18,840
Speaker 3: I go down to the Winter's Circle right it's raining.

2784
02:32:18,840 --> 02:32:20,320
Speaker 3: I don't want it to get wet and ruin me.

2785
02:32:20,600 --> 02:32:22,360
Speaker 3: Where the hell do you think alligators live?

2786
02:32:22,440 --> 02:32:22,760
Speaker 11: Handy?

2787
02:32:23,000 --> 02:32:25,920
Speaker 3: Really, I mean that's he must have said. I said,

2788
02:32:25,959 --> 02:32:27,440
Speaker 3: I can't take the shoes from me. He said, hey,

2789
02:32:27,480 --> 02:32:29,400
Speaker 3: I got about a dozen pair. He had a pair

2790
02:32:29,440 --> 02:32:31,680
Speaker 3: of yellow and gold and green. He gave me a

2791
02:32:31,680 --> 02:32:33,560
Speaker 3: pair of block. I still I never wear them, but

2792
02:32:33,640 --> 02:32:34,920
Speaker 3: those are my pe row shoes.

2793
02:32:35,680 --> 02:32:38,520
Speaker 2: Pete was funny. I mean, my buddy Roy Firestone once

2794
02:32:38,520 --> 02:32:40,360
Speaker 2: asked Pete, Pete, you ever thought about what your life

2795
02:32:40,400 --> 02:32:41,920
Speaker 2: would have been like if you'd have been a girl.

2796
02:32:42,080 --> 02:32:44,320
Speaker 2: Pete goes, well, I've been an ugly one. I mean, Pete,

2797
02:32:44,360 --> 02:32:47,880
Speaker 2: that was Pete. He was funny. So two things. There

2798
02:32:47,959 --> 02:32:51,760
Speaker 2: was a point I think in the third segment, Pete says,

2799
02:32:51,800 --> 02:32:54,240
Speaker 2: you know I didn't rob Banks, I didn't go around

2800
02:32:54,320 --> 02:32:57,240
Speaker 2: knocking up girls. Well that's not true. That's not true.

2801
02:32:57,320 --> 02:32:59,920
Speaker 2: He did I think a knockoup or at least one

2802
02:33:00,080 --> 02:33:04,119
Speaker 2: other thing too. Iste people call Pete layer. I haven't

2803
02:33:04,120 --> 02:33:08,039
Speaker 2: done that, but I saw the one aspect of the show.

2804
02:33:08,520 --> 02:33:10,320
Speaker 2: Do you remember when he says I've never set foot

2805
02:33:10,320 --> 02:33:13,080
Speaker 2: in goals gym and then two seconds later I backdrop

2806
02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:15,320
Speaker 2: on the b roll they showed them and goals gym.

2807
02:33:15,800 --> 02:33:17,600
Speaker 2: Those are the types of things I think that really

2808
02:33:17,680 --> 02:33:19,279
Speaker 2: hurt Pete. A lack of sincerity.

2809
02:33:20,480 --> 02:33:21,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I just.

2810
02:33:23,520 --> 02:33:28,440
Speaker 3: But all these I guess extras, the golds gym, whatever

2811
02:33:28,440 --> 02:33:31,400
Speaker 3: it may be. You know, that's just pounding on Pete

2812
02:33:31,480 --> 02:33:34,840
Speaker 3: Rose and using that as more material to keep him

2813
02:33:34,879 --> 02:33:36,960
Speaker 3: out of the Hall of Fame, which I guess people

2814
02:33:36,959 --> 02:33:39,320
Speaker 3: don't understand and has nothing to do with Rob Manford

2815
02:33:39,800 --> 02:33:42,480
Speaker 3: is the Baseball Hall of Fame and the writers basically

2816
02:33:42,480 --> 02:33:45,000
Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame committee that, as they say, so,

2817
02:33:45,160 --> 02:33:47,080
Speaker 3: whether to let him in or not. And everybody's down

2818
02:33:47,120 --> 02:33:49,959
Speaker 3: on Rob Manford at major League Baseball. It's a separate entity.

2819
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:52,160
Speaker 3: You know that, Bunny, Right, it's not major League Baseball.

2820
02:33:52,520 --> 02:33:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's remember back in nineteen ninety one when baseball

2821
02:33:56,240 --> 02:33:59,240
Speaker 2: changed the rules to formerly ban those who had been

2822
02:33:59,280 --> 02:34:02,560
Speaker 2: on the permanently an eligible list the year after Rose became.

2823
02:34:02,320 --> 02:34:06,440
Speaker 3: Eligible, right, You Look, it's one of those ongoing stories.

2824
02:34:06,440 --> 02:34:08,400
Speaker 3: And look, I think Pete Rose right now is more

2825
02:34:08,400 --> 02:34:11,560
Speaker 3: popular not being in on the outside looking.

2826
02:34:11,360 --> 02:34:12,560
Speaker 11: In than if you're right to be in.

2827
02:34:12,760 --> 02:34:14,640
Speaker 3: And I think that everybody in the world right now

2828
02:34:14,680 --> 02:34:17,360
Speaker 3: wants his autograph, but probably even has his autograph because

2829
02:34:17,360 --> 02:34:20,880
Speaker 3: he signs everything and anything. But what I don't understand

2830
02:34:20,959 --> 02:34:22,440
Speaker 3: is is it that big of a deal if he

2831
02:34:22,480 --> 02:34:23,840
Speaker 3: gets in to me.

2832
02:34:24,160 --> 02:34:27,360
Speaker 2: I think that after thirty five years and now that

2833
02:34:27,360 --> 02:34:30,920
Speaker 2: we have gambling in baseball, as I've said, I no

2834
02:34:30,959 --> 02:34:34,160
Speaker 2: longer think it serves any fruitful purpose. Last thing for me,

2835
02:34:34,680 --> 02:34:36,680
Speaker 2: and he buttoned up the story. We know he was

2836
02:34:36,720 --> 02:34:39,320
Speaker 2: tight with Joe Morgan, and a lot of players went

2837
02:34:39,360 --> 02:34:44,279
Speaker 2: to Pete's defense, Mike Schmidt, Tony Perez, several then Morgan

2838
02:34:44,400 --> 02:34:47,400
Speaker 2: passed his wife had the dinner that Pete wasn't invited to.

2839
02:34:47,800 --> 02:34:49,720
Speaker 2: Then the next day, on August date, they had Joe

2840
02:34:49,720 --> 02:34:52,240
Speaker 2: Morgan Day at the Park. Rose showed up, but in

2841
02:34:52,280 --> 02:34:55,080
Speaker 2: a separate in a separate area of the park. Do

2842
02:34:55,120 --> 02:34:57,360
Speaker 2: you know why he was not invited to that dinner?

2843
02:34:57,400 --> 02:34:57,800
Speaker 2: What happened?

2844
02:34:57,800 --> 02:35:00,560
Speaker 3: And I think it was an oversight. Yeah, I think

2845
02:35:00,560 --> 02:35:02,880
Speaker 3: it was an oversight. I really don't know exactly the

2846
02:35:03,240 --> 02:35:05,959
Speaker 3: details of that. But what I enjoyed more than anything

2847
02:35:05,959 --> 02:35:08,280
Speaker 3: else in that was when they interviewed Marty burn him

2848
02:35:08,320 --> 02:35:09,520
Speaker 3: in the Longtime Hall of Fame.

2849
02:35:09,720 --> 02:35:10,879
Speaker 2: I met Martins, great guy.

2850
02:35:10,959 --> 02:35:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the for the Cincinnati Reads. And you know,

2851
02:35:14,280 --> 02:35:16,680
Speaker 3: he said it would be a shame, a tremendous shame

2852
02:35:16,720 --> 02:35:18,440
Speaker 3: if in fact Pete rose down into the Hall of

2853
02:35:18,440 --> 02:35:21,240
Speaker 3: Fame after he passed. And I think that that may happen.

2854
02:35:21,360 --> 02:35:23,800
Speaker 3: It may very well happen. You know, why have a

2855
02:35:23,879 --> 02:35:25,880
Speaker 3: hall of fame? If you get to wait for someone

2856
02:35:25,920 --> 02:35:27,440
Speaker 3: to pass and put them in the Hall of fame,

2857
02:35:27,680 --> 02:35:28,760
Speaker 3: let the family enjoy it.

2858
02:35:28,800 --> 02:35:29,480
Speaker 11: That's all I'm saying.

2859
02:35:29,520 --> 02:35:31,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I said the same thing I've said since

2860
02:35:31,520 --> 02:35:33,760
Speaker 2: two thousand and four when I did an about face.

2861
02:35:34,520 --> 02:35:36,440
Speaker 2: I was on a show with Rob Parker and Detroit

2862
02:35:36,480 --> 02:35:38,800
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, the book came out, and

2863
02:35:38,840 --> 02:35:42,480
Speaker 2: I said, look all right, at this point, just reinstate

2864
02:35:42,560 --> 02:35:44,280
Speaker 2: him and let the voters decide. And you got the

2865
02:35:44,320 --> 02:35:44,800
Speaker 2: last word.

2866
02:35:45,080 --> 02:35:46,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, what did Rob have to say? I'd be interested

2867
02:35:46,680 --> 02:35:47,080
Speaker 11: about that.

2868
02:35:47,120 --> 02:35:49,080
Speaker 2: You know, Rob's dead said against him. He wouldn't vote

2869
02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:52,400
Speaker 2: for him, Not now, no way, no how Rober.

2870
02:35:52,200 --> 02:35:53,840
Speaker 11: He wouldn't vote for Tom Brady if he had to

2871
02:35:53,920 --> 02:35:55,000
Speaker 11: vote in the Hall of Fame.

2872
02:35:55,200 --> 02:35:57,080
Speaker 2: That's all. Can you stand four more hours? We'll go

2873
02:35:57,120 --> 02:35:58,160
Speaker 2: to the Tom Brady situation.

2874
02:35:58,240 --> 02:35:58,840
Speaker 11: Right, It's true.

2875
02:35:58,920 --> 02:36:02,119
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean Tom Brady. I mean I don't

2876
02:36:02,160 --> 02:36:06,240
Speaker 3: understand you. You vote on the guy's athletic prowess, that's

2877
02:36:06,240 --> 02:36:09,000
Speaker 3: what you do. His personality is a separate issue. What

2878
02:36:09,080 --> 02:36:11,320
Speaker 3: he did off the field a separate issue. What Pete

2879
02:36:11,360 --> 02:36:14,840
Speaker 3: did with young girls allegedly, you know that has nothing

2880
02:36:14,879 --> 02:36:17,080
Speaker 3: to do with the forty two to fifty six hits

2881
02:36:17,080 --> 02:36:17,680
Speaker 3: that he got.

2882
02:36:18,040 --> 02:36:18,680
Speaker 11: Period.

2883
02:36:19,480 --> 02:36:21,760
Speaker 2: You're making perfect sense, Andy, but we're dealing with human

2884
02:36:21,760 --> 02:36:24,760
Speaker 2: beings who often make decisions on a motion and justifyable logic.

2885
02:36:25,040 --> 02:36:27,920
Speaker 2: Have a great show, Andy, Thank you, Burn. That is

2886
02:36:27,920 --> 02:36:30,000
Speaker 2: the great Andy Furman. You hear him a few minutes

2887
02:36:30,040 --> 02:36:35,360
Speaker 2: here with Bucky brooks Now. In case you missed it, Look,

2888
02:36:35,520 --> 02:36:42,320
Speaker 2: this documentary is excellent. Four episodes HBO. It's entitled Pete Rose.

2889
02:36:43,200 --> 02:36:44,800
Speaker 2: You know, the sog of Pete Rose. Whatever the heck,

2890
02:36:44,800 --> 02:36:47,959
Speaker 2: it's called Charlie Hustle, the Matter of Pete Rose. And

2891
02:36:48,120 --> 02:36:50,560
Speaker 2: the first two episodes are terrific. They deal with his

2892
02:36:50,800 --> 02:36:53,000
Speaker 2: playing days as a young rookie coming up, and then

2893
02:36:53,360 --> 02:36:55,600
Speaker 2: on with the Phillies and expos et cetera, et cetera,

2894
02:36:55,920 --> 02:36:57,760
Speaker 2: then back with the Reds as a player manager, and

2895
02:36:57,800 --> 02:36:59,879
Speaker 2: the final two you have to deal with the last half,

2896
02:37:00,560 --> 02:37:04,280
Speaker 2: in the last thirty five years and his life in

2897
02:37:04,320 --> 02:37:06,440
Speaker 2: Pete says, you know, all I did was bet on baseball,

2898
02:37:06,480 --> 02:37:08,760
Speaker 2: didn't Rob Banks. To be honest with you, I guess

2899
02:37:08,760 --> 02:37:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm telling the truth. What I tell you. The only

2900
02:37:10,840 --> 02:37:13,600
Speaker 2: bad quality I had was that I gambled on baseball.

2901
02:37:13,600 --> 02:37:16,400
Speaker 2: The problem is it's in every locker, it's in every clubhouse.

2902
02:37:16,440 --> 02:37:20,120
Speaker 2: He can't do it Roses eighty three. Now he's still charming,

2903
02:37:20,160 --> 02:37:23,480
Speaker 2: he's still humorous, but ultimately he was his own worst enemy.

2904
02:37:23,600 --> 02:37:26,279
Speaker 2: In this documentary, you have to see it to believe it.

2905
02:37:26,360 --> 02:37:29,039
