15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. Well, it is a big

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: day in basketball. We have coaches getting fired or let go.

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: We have coach saying we should team up with our

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: arch enemies to ensure victory for the tournament. And and

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: then we have this pesky little football story with the

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: guy that's set to potentially be the highest paid wide

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: receiver in the history of the game. So in the

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: words of Crash Davis, Mike Carmon. We're dealing with a

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: lot of stuff tonight.

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: Sho Tani on the mound and dominating though the Dodgers

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: are losing. Uh and you also, I thought the football

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: story you were gonna lead with was the nineteenth NFL

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: season for Joe Flacco, who remains elite?

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: It is? It is nice and and and how many?

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: How many games will we start with Joe Burrow after

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: season six and a half? I mean I didn't start

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: the season after that flag football game. Is the over

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: under really six and a head? No, there's no way.

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay yet, Yeah, you went right, you go right

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to the gambling. I know. I just didn't know if

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: that was something you officially looked up, because I'm not

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: saying I would doubt that if you said, hey, what's

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: the over under for Joe Burrow games started this year?

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: I could see Flacco like, okay, six and a half,

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: maybe a couple in the beginning, middle of season and

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Bengals losing at the end. Yeah, I could see the

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: over I mean he got over last year right six

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati, and he had to start with Cleveland before

43
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: he moved on.

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: Right.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Well, that that's that's if the over was really high.

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think like every year, no matter what,

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: like you got to set it at a certain number

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: because you think, no matter where he is, he's gonna

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: be starting.

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: Break glass in case of emergency, and he may just

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: be better than your starter, whoever's whoever's got the longest

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: record or the longest streak of consecutive games started. Joe

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: Flacco signs there, you know it's over. It's just gonna end.

54
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: It's that doesn't matter, it's just somehow it's gonna end.

55
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: And Joe Flacco's going to play. Really is impressive. I mean,

56
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: at some point, do you just put a little bust

57
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: of him in the hall, like a little one mini

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: bust in the Hall of Fame just for longevity.

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Or do you put it next to all the other

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that he backed up the last part of his career.

61
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: There's just a mini one over and over their shoulder.

62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Like you think at this point, Flacco when they interview

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: him at the you know every year and they go, hey, Joe,

64
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: you know you signed it back up here at Cincinnati.

65
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: Did you did you have an offers to be a

66
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: starter to you give it up on being a starter,

67
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: and Flacco just goes, Guys, you know I'm gonna start

68
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: half the season, right, I mean, come on, you know

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: you know what's gonna happen. Right, What do I worry about?

70
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Where I could go anywhere? Throw a dart and I'll

71
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: start there for half the season. You know. That's how

72
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: it goes from me.

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: He's like, well, they've done no upgrades to the offensive

74
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 3: line here, and I know, while Max Crosby didn't join

75
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: the division, there's still plenty of pass rushers that will

76
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 3: get home on old Joe there. So I'll have my time.

77
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: Just bide my time.

78
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: So you have the Joe Flacco coming back again. We're

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: still waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make his decision, and

80
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: then we get this weird ass story and in the

81
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: in a pantheon of weird ass stories involving rams wide

82
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: out Puka Nakua. Now, I blame you for this, Mike Carmen.

83
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: I blame you for what we're talking about. I blame

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: you because last night we had on Jason Lockin for

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: right who the NFL Insider And you know, hey, Jackson

86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba became the highest paid receiver in the NFL.

87
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: We talked about him. He's the best receiver in the game.

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: He is able to put up numbers despite having a

89
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: bunch of Jags around him. But clearly Pukinakua and his

90
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: value to the Rams is that Biggie play so many

91
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: different positions, He blocks, he does everything. And we talked

92
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: about how later on, at some point over the offseason

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: he's going to get the deal that's going to usurp

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: JSN and he'll be the highest paid wide receiver in

95
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. And it was you who said anything with

96
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: the off field stuff that's going to stop the Rams

97
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: from writing that big check, and Jason Lockin Forrest says, no,

98
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: he's that good guy. You said anything that could stop them,

99
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: and then twenty four hours later we have something that

100
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: could stop everybody from signing him to a long term deal.

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: So I blame you. I think it's your fault.

102
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: You blame me for what he may or may not

103
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: have said. Now, lawsuits threatened all over the place, including

104
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: a biting incident. Right, yeah, there's a lot going on here.

105
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: Potential anti semantic statement. I'm not going to read it

106
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: as laid out, you know, basically anti semitic thoughts and

107
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: going through and being vulgar and then eventually uh biting.

108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: So the deal is a woman seeking a restraining order

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: against Poka Nakua after he allegedly had a anti Semitic

110
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: remark and later bit her during a New Year's Eve

111
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: night out in Los Angeles.

112
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: This story no idea there were anti Semitic vampires out there.

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: I did not know that. Apparently that this will be

114
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: the next big movie craze, Right, We're gonna have these,

115
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: This is what's gonna be out there. These are the vampires.

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: We gotta go get a woman. Yeah, I don't I

117
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Oh, that's that's it. I don't know that.

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that. That's yeah. No, no, no, I

119
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Man. Now I think about it. I don't know. Now,

120
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: I think. I don't think I would. I don't think

121
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: I would say that. No, I wouldn't back and I

122
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't behind it. Now, another vampire. If you can give

123
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: me something else different with vampires, that's that's cool. Okay.

124
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. We've seen enough of vampire

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: vampires and zombies like okay, it's time to reset the

126
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: genre a little bit. Maybe vampire zombies. You mix them

127
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: into one and you have a movie like that. We

128
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: already had Abraham Lincoln killing zombies, Driving Prejudice with zombies

129
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: and all kinds of vampires. I mean, I think we

130
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: need a little bit of a reset there.

131
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: But in Prejudice zombies was pretty good. And remember the

132
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: zombies no longer were the slow zombies of our childhood

133
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: and not of the living dead. No, all of a sudden,

134
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: Brad Pitt had guys flying around faster than I don't know,

135
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: Darryl Grid.

136
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Oh they were twenty eight days later

137
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: zombies and zombies who were jumping on top of each

138
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: other to get over the wall. Oh yeah, he's are

139
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: crazy zombies. Now, this is not a zombie story as

140
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: far as we know. As far yes, this woman filed

141
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: for restraining order in LA today, claiming that she terrorized

142
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: that he terrorized her on New Year's Eve and then

143
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: threatened to soil her name in the press several weeks later. Now,

144
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: what happened was obviously the two things we talked about,

145
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: an anti semitic remark from Pookinakupa that he said end

146
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: that he bit her during a night out now and

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: this has shows you how crazy the story is. This

148
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: get this gets into what we're gonna talk about, is

149
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: that Nakua's attorney told TMZ that he never made the

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: anti Semitic remark, though we did bite her when they

151
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: were all kind of horse playing.

152
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: So horseplay.

153
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: We're admitting to the biting. Now, horse playing could be

154
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: there all out of the bar, it could be behind

155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: closed doors. There's a lot of horseplay happening in the stories.

156
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Very no, it's good to you know, a little bit

157
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: of a throwback. Not a lot of horseplay. But hey listen,

158
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: there's no antipatic remark. But he did bite her, Okay,

159
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: so we admit to the biting. So there was some

160
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of biting for Puka Nakua. Well, I mean you

161
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: look at the radius. I mean there's there's a photo

162
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: that has the bite radius and pretty I think, you know,

163
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: after my years of watching CSI and everything else, you

164
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: could probably create an imprint and show without a beyond

165
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: a shadow of a doubt that it would match. So

166
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: I think you know, you just you know, admit to

167
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: that if the horse play involved some fighting.

168
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that words. I never thought i'd say, I'm fox.

169
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: No, I didn't have this on my on my on

170
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: my Bengo card with puking Akua today. But it usually

171
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: takes in the in the TV shows, it usually takes

172
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: at least twenty four hours for them to come back

173
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: with something, and it's not until they get really deep

174
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: into the investigation you find out that the bite marks match,

175
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: or something else happens, or ballistics gets back to us,

176
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: or the bloodstains come back. Yet it's usually near the end, right,

177
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: so you don't get that till near the end. But

178
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: this story with Pooka Nakua, now this is the latest

179
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: in an off season in which I'll tell you want

180
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: to know the big thing to say about this. Sometimes

181
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: there's hot takes about things, and sometimes there's just time

182
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: to do the Aaron Rodgers and say, let's just relax

183
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: and let's think of this with calm, cool reasoning. Because

184
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: if I'm the ramp, what what needs to happen right now?

185
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: If I am the rams, I am doing an absolute

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: deepest dive possible into who he is, what he has

187
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: going on, and what we don't know about his life.

188
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: Right you had the video where he made the really

189
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: bad movements that was very also very anti semitic that

190
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: he says, oh, I didn't know what I was doing.

191
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I was let into it by the podcaster. That was

192
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: a really bad look for Pokinakupa. That was really, really terrible.

193
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: A few months ago, he had the questionable tweet about

194
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, but that's just about his opinion of how

195
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: he was playing in the Super Bowl. He says it

196
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: was misconstrued. Now you have this where here's a guy

197
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: who is out and he is accused of biting someone

198
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: and hurling an anti semitic remark. This is on the

199
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: heels of what he said, Oh I didn't know what

200
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I was doing when I was making that hand gesture

201
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: in the podcast. This is where the Rams have to

202
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: do it. They have to spend this time because now

203
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: he is on the cusp of being the highest paid

204
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the NFL. He is at the center

205
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: of everything the Rams do, right. They they found him

206
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and it's incredible how great

207
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: of a player he has become in such a short

208
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: period of time. But now it's like, you have no

209
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: idea who this guy is. What is there that he's

210
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: already done? Do we have to worry about his behavior.

211
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Do we have to worry now? Now we're worried about

212
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: giving him money. Now, if I'm the Rams, that's the

213
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: first thing I'm going, Oh, man, not only do we

214
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: have to worry about on the field with him, he's

215
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: affecting everything we do. We want to make a Super

216
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Bowl run. He is center to everything we do. But

217
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: the guy wants money, and we are ready to pay

218
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: him right The latest in the in the negotiations was

219
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: it was gonna take a while, but it would happen

220
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: over the course of the offseason. But it was something

221
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: that was gonna take a while for whatever reason. And now,

222
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: if you're in the RAMS, you're saying, can we pay him? Now?

223
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: We have to investigate. What else are we gonna find?

224
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: And we gotta go. We can't do this cursory. Hey,

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: everything looks fine. We're moving on investigatior. This is this

226
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: is something where you are worried about what's going on

227
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: right now with this legal situation and the future. If

228
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: you have to put a pause on everything now and

229
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: spend the next couple of months looking into who he

230
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: is and seeing if you are comfortable extending him or

231
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: if you're comfortable having him on the team. I don't.

232
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're the Rams, like all of a sudden,

233
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: you have been thrust intwo We thought we had our

234
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: future all set. We were worried the every off season

235
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: was oh Man Stafford wanting to play, not wanting to play,

236
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: wants a contract extent. I'm sick and tired of this now.

237
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: Now the Rams would give anything to go back to

238
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford just deciding whether or not he wants to play.

239
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: And here's the stuff with Pooka. This could now derail

240
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: the entire organization with what's going on.

241
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the threat of a defamation lawsuit against the woman

242
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: is out there from the lawyer. Again the horseplay side

243
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: of it, but certainly these other comments came two weeks

244
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: after that live stream that you reference, so trying to

245
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: I think, establish at least his legal team that it's

246
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 3: trying to capitalize on that and see if they can

247
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: muddy the waters where it goes. I don't know from

248
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: the football side of things. Certainly for the Rams, it's

249
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 3: one thing for a guy to be seen in public,

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 3: to live it up, to be a party guy and

251
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: all of those kind of things, young money, whatever, But

252
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: certainly this is another another blight and question that they

253
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: have to go and and research and investigate as best

254
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: they can. There's a lot of video I guess from

255
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: the night as they chronicled their their partying ahead of

256
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: horseplay and everything else, but certainly not the off season

257
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: extra story that they were looking to As you're getting

258
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 3: ready for the draft or whatever. The next iteration of

259
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: this team.

260
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Is, Wow, you need you need it. You gotta find

261
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: out who this guy is the next couple of months. Man,

316
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: we get set for the Sweet sixteen in college basketball,

317
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: But doesn't mean we didn't have a plethora of news today.

318
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: First of all, shout out Jerry McNamara, get us back

319
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: to the tournament next year and everything is fine. So

320
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: just a very small bar to be said. Just wanted

321
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: to get that out there. Set it out there for Syracuse.

322
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: He'll still suck.

323
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: No, come on, if Jerry Mcnamerican still play, that would

324
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: be even better.

325
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: Are more threes I know that are some of our

326
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: media brethren on payroll for Syracuse or for him. You

327
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: would have thought they just got John Wooden.

328
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh you mean, like like like Dani Orlovsky, all the

329
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: the push for ty Simpson. Ty Simpson might be the

330
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of the history of the NFL draft.

331
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: When you sat a program like Syracuse, that is like

332
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: getting John Wooden.

333
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: But it's just that that idea of hey, you want

334
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: to be a voice of dissonance and create a little chaos,

335
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: and that's Orlovsky's game, right, Yeah, you want to you

336
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: want to stand out in the crowd, and it's a question.

337
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: We asked locking for a little bit yesterday about you know,

338
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: one A versus one B and where's the gap and

339
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: all of that fun kind of stuff. But yeah, when

340
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: when guys are now yelling f bombs at you and

341
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: then calling you an idiot, it becomes an interesting little

342
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: side show to it all. But for Jerry McNamara, I mean, suddenly,

343
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: the way it was being presented was this is the

344
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: greatest hire in the history of man. I'm like, right,

345
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: Sometimes he's you know, you can go home again. Sometimes

346
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 3: it ends really well, sometimes it doesn't. Is he already

347
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: asking for an extra five million dollars? Like Cronine?

348
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: There was nobody else, man, there was nobody. I mean

349
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: he he checks every box. Up and coming coach, got

350
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: it program legend, who can recruit and get nil get

351
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: more interest back in the program. The last thing you

352
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: want is apathy. You can't have that, right, It's okay, Hey,

353
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: he checks all those boxes, man Like, he was like,

354
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: we're lucky to get him, you know, for allot I.

355
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: Thought you were gonna get him on the way down

356
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 3: after he bypassed you, for for all.

357
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: Of the Oh, Jerry McNamara at Syracuse. You oh, he's

358
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, of course, you know he's a he's a

359
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: program legend and that.

360
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: No.

361
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the only reason we got him

362
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: is because he went to If he didn't go to Syracuse,

363
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that we would have gotten him. He

364
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: would have gone somewhere. He might be out there for

365
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: the North Turn.

366
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: Wait a couple hours, humor to be dismissed.

367
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: We are we are. We're lucky to have him, man like.

368
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean that that's the whole deal, Like this is

369
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: this is not oh yeah, well, program legend. No, we're

370
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: lucky to get We wouldn't have him if it wasn't

371
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: the case.

372
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 4: Say it, Jerry, Jerry, I haven't been relegated yet.

373
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: I just like the fact that he's another coach you're

374
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: lucky for. Yeah, listen, we're not can If we get

375
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: relegated back to the Big East, I'd be okay with that.

376
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: I've had it with the A C C. I don't

377
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: want to be there anymore.

378
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 4: Junior college.

379
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: No, I'd rather go back to the well Big East kids. Anyway,

380
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: maybe if Saint Mary's oh you mean Santa Monica. Okay,

381
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: well that's fine too. Uh hey, if we can win

382
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: the turn, if we can win and get an automatic bid.

383
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. We'll still get an automatic bid

384
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: if we play in junior college. That's uh so. Yeah.

385
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: Maybe if McNamara had waited an extra few hours, North

386
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: Carolina would have called him as big breaking news tonight,

387
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: Hubert Davis was fired by the school this following their

388
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: stunning laws to VCU in the first round of the

389
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament. In oppost to Instagram, Hubert Davis said he

390
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: was let go by the university. His desire was to

391
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: continue to coach at Chapel Hill. Now number one, we

392
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: told you this was happening, lads. This is why we're

393
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: ahead of the curb right Oh with Hubert Davis. What's

394
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: going to happen now? We told you a week ago.

395
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: It's not huge failures. It hasn't been in absolute failure.

396
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: But this is how business is done in the NIL

397
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: era of college basketball. In college football, can Hubert Davis

398
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: still excite the NIL backers to give money so they

399
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: can put a great roster out there? Yes, National Championship

400
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: Game is first year, but gave Way a big lead

401
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: at the halftime. A couple of NCAA tournaments gave away

402
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: big leads in the second half, gave way a huge

403
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: lead to VCU and blew the game. This was the

404
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: final straw for him. When you blew a nineteen point

405
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: lead against Virginia Commonwealth in the second half.

406
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: This was a.

407
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: Situation that it was going to happen no matter what

408
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: our opinions were. You could say, give Hubert Davis time.

409
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: You could say that, oh, he's had enough time to

410
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: get rid of him. It didn't matter because this was

411
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: going to be the outcome, because this is where UNC

412
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: needs to be. You can't have the apathy said in

413
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: a program where maybe we give him one more year,

414
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe we do it, maybe we don't. This was, hey,

415
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: we don't know that. We can still have twelve or

416
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars out there to feel a roster if

417
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: Hubert Dave is still the head coach. You got a

418
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of people with a lot of deep pockets that

419
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: are pissed the North Carolina hasn't gone further. They gotta

420
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: watch Duke hit further than every year, get the better recruits,

421
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: watch Cooper flag go number one overall. Yes, it was

422
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: difficult for North Carolina. Look when one of your top

423
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: players is out and he's missing the tournament. It's a

424
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: difficult thing, but it was just too much. And it

425
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: was a case of we don't know if going forward

426
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: we're still going to have the financial backing we need.

427
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: So I knew this was going to happen. And for

428
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Hubert Davis, we told you it was gonna be a

429
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: week ago.

430
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

431
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: I mean you just go back and look at the history,

432
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 3: and we chronicled big, big collapses. Right, this was a pattern.

433
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: This was not a one off, and not having Caleb

434
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 3: Wilson obviously huge, but the reaction to this one is

435
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: a fantastic a to b a lot of wins one,

436
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: twenty five and fifty four, I mean one at a

437
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: very high clip, but when it mattered, they came up

438
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: small and in this latest iteration, a nineteen point lead

439
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: that evaporates. It just won't stand because now you're trying

440
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: to retain your players, which means you've got to get people,

441
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: dig a little deeper in your pocket, give until it hurts.

442
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: There's a whole Jethro Toll song of all things talking

443
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: about all of that, of you know, trying to get

444
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: over and for North Carolina, you remember those folks are

445
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: getting tapped on the football side now too. Like once

446
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: upon a time it was only the basketball program. Now

447
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: you got Bill Belichick and everybody else going, hey, we

448
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: need your money too, So which side are you going to?

449
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: And if if you're running into two brick walls every

450
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: time there's a meaningful game on the basketball So I'd

451
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: guess what, All right, let's see if we can't build

452
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: up the football program, and I'll commit this year. My

453
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: money goes that way. And so for Hubert Davis, a

454
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: lot of great wins, a lot of great moments, but

455
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: certainly not the signature moments is in moments in March,

456
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 3: and so you move on from there. I do have

457
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: a question, though, can Jerry McNamara pull a Bill Belichick

458
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 3: and leave a napkin with a note for.

459
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: Side as HC of SU and he just waves and

460
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: he just puts on the North Carolina Yay, I'm joining

461
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Well that's the other part of this now

462
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: is that, Okay, who are you gonna get right? Like

463
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: this is not a great year now it's North Carolina.

464
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: You want to think that there are people that would say, hey,

465
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: I want to throw my hat in the ring. I'd

466
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: love to be there because of the story program, but

467
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: this is not the year to need somebody. This is

468
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: not the year or hey there's some up and coming

469
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: guys or you know, North Carolina likes to go within

470
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: the program for their head coach. They might go outside

471
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: the program here because I don't know who's out there

472
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. Now. Could Josh Shirt say oh yeah, hey,

473
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: now I'd like to leave Saint Louis now I can go. Yeah,

474
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: But it's not like you have a lot of great

475
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: choices out there where it's like, yeah, well this is

476
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: the year to do it, because we know this is

477
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: the difficult part now. Yeah, the easy part was saying, okay,

478
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: we heard from everybody, all the nil money people, and

479
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: they said, yeah, we want somebody else now, okay, so

480
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: what do you get Like this is now the difficult

481
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: part for North Carolina because I don't know, I don't know.

482
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: It might not be just as entertained to have Belichick

483
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: coach college basketball. Why don't you both let them pull

484
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: the double?

485
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, some theories. You know you're looking at Billy Donovan.

486
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 3: It's been a rough season for the Bulls, a lot

487
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: of change and some personal stuff and everything else. But

488
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: whether that I'd seen the question mark next to Brad

489
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: Stevens name of whether he'd want to get back on

490
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: a sideline. It would be interesting to see Todd Golden

491
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: show up. He and Bill Belichick could be one of

492
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: the greatest tag teams ever in terms of intimidation and

493
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 3: up and down the sideline, So that could be fun.

494
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: But other than that, yeah, you're starting to look at all, right,

495
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 3: who's an assistant or where's there the young and up

496
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: and coming guy. Maybe once upon a time a member

497
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 3: of your program that you want to promote. But it's

498
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 3: certainly not a vast reservoir of coaches out there.

499
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: So while North Carolina is looking for a new head

500
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: basketball coach, Danny Hurley decided to really make some crazy

501
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: ass news today. Right, So the Yukon head coach, coming

502
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: off the win over UCLA big game against Michigan State,

503
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: they take on the winner of Saint John's and Duke

504
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: in the Sweet sixteen, and Danny Hurley said today that

505
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: he want it's the fan bases of both Yukon and

506
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: Saint John's to rally together for one night and root

507
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: for each other, so they could potentially have the crowd

508
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: behind them and would help both the teams win so

509
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: they can have a rematch on Sunday between the big

510
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: EA schools with the birth and the final four on

511
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: the line. So Danny Hurley wants longtime rivals Yukon and

512
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: Saint John Hey for one night. Let's unite, Let's back

513
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: each other up. Let's fill that arena up right, because

514
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: we know filling the arenas it gets difficult when you

515
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: have a couple of games going on and you have

516
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: play fans coming in and fans going out. Let's have

517
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: all the Yukon fans there for the Saint John's game

518
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: and all the Saint John's fan there for our game.

519
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: Let's go so we could potentially pull the big wins

520
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: and play on Sunday. You know what I would say

521
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: to Danny Hurley, my Carmen m hm. I would say,

522
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: go kick Rocks and beat it. Beat it sound more

523
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: and more like me. I would say take a walk, okay,

524
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: because I'm not teaming up with fans of a team

525
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: that I hate just to play them again. Why would

526
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: I do that? Why would I I'm not gonna sit

527
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: here and say, hey boy, I'd like Syracuse to win

528
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: and then I'll stay and root for Georgetown, so Syracuse

529
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: can play Georgetown with a birth of the fun. Now,

530
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't want Georgetown to win anything. All of a sudden,

531
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: he's saying, Oh, let's have the Big East rivals team up. No,

532
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: you beat it, first of all from the fan perspective. Secondly,

533
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: you know why he's saying it. And this is where

534
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Rick Patino comes in and talks about motivation.

535
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: He's saying it because he knows we have a better

536
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: chance at beating Saint John's and we have a beating Duke.

537
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: And he's telling everybody that I want to play Saint

538
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: John's on Sunday. Oh, you want to play us? Hiding

539
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: under the Oh, look at this, the Big East. I

540
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: love the Biggest You really think he gives a crap

541
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: about the Big East? You really think he cares about

542
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Yukon and Saint John's played the Big East. What a

543
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: great day for the Big East. No, he knows I

544
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: have a better chance of beating Saint John's because I

545
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: know the team. Even though they beat us twice, I

546
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: know the team, I know what they do. We match

547
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: up better against them. Duke is a terrific team. One

548
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: of the top two or three teams in the country.

549
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: We have a much better chance of beating Saint John's.

550
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: That's the real reason why I say beat it. And

551
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: I hope that this is what Patino says in the

552
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: locker room going. You know, he wants a playoffs. Who

553
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: thinks he can beat us? Right now, you gotta worry

554
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: about Duke first. And Danny Hurley's getting way ahead of

555
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: himself with this whole crap here. But after that's over,

556
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm Patino. I put a pin in that Nigel. You know,

557
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: he wants to play us because he thinks we're easier,

558
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: because he thinks he can beat us. That's the only

559
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: reason Danny Hurley is saying that. Danny Hurley is not

560
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: Big East Till I die, He's not gonna take off

561
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: his shirt. So you look at this big East tattoo

562
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: on me right here. I got old big East tattoo.

563
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: I got pictures of our tourist Carnachiavus, I got pictures

564
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: of Alan Iverson I've gone. I got pictures of Ronnie Seychlee.

565
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Look at it. Look at these tattoos I got. No,

566
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: he thinks they can beat Saint John's. They have a

567
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: better chance of doing it. That's why he's trying to

568
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: throw this out there. Maybe the crowd will give us

569
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: a boost and give them a boost because on Sunday,

570
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: I know we can win that game. Yeah, Danny Hurley,

571
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: you beat it with that crap Big.

572
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: East till we die, Big East and dancing around like

573
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: you're a soccer hooligan. No, it's it's fun, one of

574
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: those fun pieces of all right. The we have a

575
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: common enemy here in Duke, and we'll team up with

576
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: our fans and we'll be really loud against them, and

577
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: then we'll go back and we'll fight. Right, It's like

578
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: being in a triple threat match in the Wwe we

579
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 3: both hate that guy a little bit more than we

580
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: hate each other, and but we really eliminate him. Then

581
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 3: we get back onto the mad ourselves for the heavyweight title. Yeah,

582
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: it doesn't work, it's bad logic, but I could see

583
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 3: where he's going. You could take it to the global interest, right,

584
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: you know, you you have some some nations you'll like

585
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: a little bit less than others, and so you team

586
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: up in a very un I mean you watch it

587
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: in superhero movies all the time, Smith, Right, the unconventional

588
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: and unh unholy alliances. That's what Danny Hurley's proposing here. Yeah,

589
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: under the guys, though.

590
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it

591
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: with a rival. Now, if you want to do it

592
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: like major League Baseball does the the All Star voting,

593
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: where like the Dodgers team up with the Mariners. Hey,

594
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to get our guy in. You vote

595
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: for our guy, we vote for your guy. Like that's okay.

596
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: That's something I get because they're not rivals, right, like

597
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the and the Mariners aren't rivals and

598
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Yeah, I understand that, But two teams

599
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: that're growing up hating each other, I'm not gonna suddenly

600
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: start rooting for you come up. No, I want Ukon

601
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: to lose. I want them to get smoked by Michigan State.

602
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: I want Tom Isoun to stand up and say, oh,

603
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: because we beat the guy that won the national title

604
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: twice in the last four years. I'm gonna cut down

605
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: nets tonight, even though I have another game coming up. No,

606
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Michigan State, thank you, And I think

607
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: you Kon would rather say I'd much rather, you know,

608
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to root for Saint John's, even though

609
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: they much rather play them. But you can't just do

610
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: that for your all time, right, you can't do that.

611
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. But I see through Danny Hurley, I see

612
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: through exactly what he wants to do. That's only white.

613
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: That's what he wants.

614
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:56,840

721
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: predictions for you, Mike carmon Oka hit me first one,

722
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: I will give you this. And the first one is

723
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: show heyo Tani, Show heyo Tani. This year will win

724
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: the National League SI Young Award, not the MVP, not

725
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: the World Series, not the World Series MVP. He will

726
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: win the nl CY Young. All the talk I've heard

727
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: in camp Dodgers, this is what he has focused on.

728
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: He is focused on his pitching. He does not want

729
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: to continue to be a Hey, he's the best slugger

730
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Yeah enough with that on board. He

731
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: has really invested so much in his pitching. It's been

732
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years now though. You don't have to

733
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: worry about wear and tear on him now. The only

734
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: hope is you hold your finger, you cross your fingers,

735
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: and you're gonna stay healthy. But this is something that

736
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: motivates him. He wanted to be a fifty to fifty guy.

737
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: He wanted to steal fifty bases. Guess what, he stole

738
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: fifty bases next year? Didn't steal fifty bases. Right, He's

739
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 1: someone that what am I going to do this year?

740
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: He is talented enough to do whatever he wants to

741
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: win major League Baseball. You know it's there already as

742
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: a pitcher. He wins the Cy Young this year, and

743
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: the difference between him and a guy like Paul Skeins, Hey,

744
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: he'll have more wins because he's playing on a better team.

745
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Will the vote will want to give stuff like this

746
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: to show Heyo Tani because you want to see great

747
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: players do well, and he's gonna have the numbers. Give

748
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: me show Heyo Tani will win the NL. Say Young

749
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: this year.

750
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 3: Schemes two plus two, ten plus two twenty depending on

751
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 3: where you're shopping, followed by Momoto Sanchez sail all the

752
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: way down to thirty to one your price shot on

753
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: show Hayo Tani, he's minus one forty five as your

754
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: National League MVP. I mean it could could be MVP

755
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: and Cy Young could be a year where maybe he

756
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: only hits forty five home runs, you know, and and

757
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe Boba Schet hits fifty five. Maybe

758
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: he only knocks in, you know, maybe he only has

759
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: a year where he hit maybe only has that kind

760
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: he already finished.

761
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: But give me the Cy Young for show Halo.

762
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: I just want to I want to know how why

763
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 3: his odds are so much longer than Blake Snell, who

764
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: we have no idea what he's actually gonna pitch.

765
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, well the whole thing.

766
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 3: He might not pitch till June.

767
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't pitched a ton and you know, but this

768
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: is when he comes back. You see here in a

769
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: big tune up eleven strikeouts. I mean, this is when

770
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: he puts his mind to something, he does it and

771
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: you can tell already hearing everybody saying he's putting his

772
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: mind towards his pitching more than any other year. Okay, man,

773
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's your so Young Award winner in the

774
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: National League.

775
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: How about al MVP plus twenty two hundred pe Alonzo?

776
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: Who if that happens. If that happens, I'm keying your car. No,

777
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm just taking the doors off your car.

778
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean he the tag team, he and Gunny Gunner Henderson.

779
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: I mean you're talking about too heavyweights right there.

780
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: Like when it happens, because it's going to you have

781
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 4: the tape.

782
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: Okayeah, no, forget it, man, if that happened.

783
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: I like those odds though, two hundred, I mean that's yeah,

784
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: that's what twelfth in the AL.

785
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

786
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

787
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: American League. I'll give you this Bowl prediction of the

788
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: American League. Now, it would certainly help if the Orioles

789
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and Alonso has a big year.

790
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: But representing the American League in the World Series will

791
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: be the New York will be the Toronto, but will

792
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: be the Boston Red Sox. Oh okay, they have put

793
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: together the best rotation in the American League, right, Crochet,

794
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what they were looking for right now, man,

795
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: this is how they're gonna hit that next level.

796
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: Now.

797
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: They had a great lineup the last couple of years,

798
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: not quite as great on paper. They lost a couple

799
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: of guys, right, you lost Bregman. But it doesn't matter.

800
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony is on the Juan Soto path of here's

801
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: the next great player showing up in his early twenties.

802
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: You saw the big role he played for the United

803
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: States the World Baseball Classic. They will have more than

804
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: enough hitting. This is the best all round team in

805
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: the American League. Boston Red Sox to the World Series

806
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: this year.

807
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: Sixteen to one, your guy Anthony, Fourteen to one for

808
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 3: al MVP puts him fifth on the list. I'm looking

809
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: at the Detroit Tigers because I think it's gonna be chaos.

810
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: They got a good lineup and Professor Professor McGonagall will

811
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 3: be at shortstop.

812
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I want to make sure he can turn himself

813
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: off into a cat. And that's you needed shorts. You

814
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: gotta have those cat like reflexes a short stime.

815
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: Well, think about it, they turned into a black cat

816
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: and scare the hell out of people at the plate,

817
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: Carpenter green to go on the mountain. The other part

818
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: is that you look at Valdez uh teamed with schoolbl

819
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 3: and it creates chaos come mid season because if they're contending,

820
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 3: means they're not gonna spin schoolbl off. Then they'll eventually

821
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: have to pay them.

822
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Tigers. Eventually you think they're gonna hit

823
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more, right, you think they're going a

824
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: little bit more. But every year has been hey, we

825
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: hit just enough, like just just enough.

826
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 3: They had a couple of power guys, but we don't

827
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 3: string up big, big innings exactly.

828
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean if I had, if I had more confidence

829
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: in their lineup, I'd feel a lot. Look, I still

830
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: there's still the class of the central and the one

831
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: two punch. They they they'll be a playoff team. But man,

832
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean you've seen a couple of years now their

833
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: lineup just hasn't been enough and they really need a lot,

834
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: Like they need to make that big one. Doesn't mean

835
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: they can't, but they need to make that leap if

836
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it.

837
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: Twenty two to one on your board.

838
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: So there you go. Some bold predictions for the MLB

839
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: season that kicks off tomorrow. Coming up next, we got
