1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It's that time

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: of week. My name is Bernie frownerwer Kemedy Live the

00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: tire buying should be an absolute jam pack show tonight,

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: of course, the cor uncopia of March madness things, and

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: we'll dive into whether or not it's time for John

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: Calipari go my takeaways from today. We are not done

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: with this Shohyo Tani story by any stretch, because it

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: keeps taking strange turns. And I woke up in the

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: middle of the night after my show last night. I said,

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: you know, these two things just aren't adding up. We'll

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: get to that later in the show. Of course, fresh

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: new editions of what kind of brand new fool of you?

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: And what my name but March. We are forty games

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: into the books already forty teams have been eliminated, twenty

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: four remained. By this time tomorrow night, we will have.

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: We will have our sweet sixteen lineup ready to go.

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: And if there's one thing we can always you know,

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: we've come to realize in March Man, this is that

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: you learn to expect the unexpected. Except maybe not right now.

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: This tournament feels a little different. Expecting the unexpected is

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: nothing new. I can take it back to nineteen seventy seven,

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: the late great Al McGuire. That Al McGuire, yes, the

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: one who became a legendary announcer as well well. He

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: was a head coach at Marquette and they were called

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: the Marquette Warriors back then, and heading into the nineteen

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: seventy seven tournament, right before the tournament started, al McGuire

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: held a press conference. He was a sneaky devil, and

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: he announced his retirement. No one saw it coming, of course,

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: the media who had a special relationship with Al. They said, Al,

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: you pulling one of your wise guy tricks on it,

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: trying to motivate your team, because you know, if they

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: know you're going to retire, maybe you can go out

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: on top. Al McGuire says, don't be ridiculous. Come on,

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: look at us. We're not going anywhere. The best we

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: can do well, maybe we'll be like a cockroach and

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: a play of spaghetti. We'll fall in and mess it

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: up for somebody else. Well. Al McGuire and the Marquette

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: Warriors went on to win the national championship that year

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: over a much better North Carolina team coached by Dean Smith.

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: You learn to expect the unexpected. But when Creighton walked

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: off the court earlier this evening, at the end of

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: that double overtime win against Oregon, you said to yourself, hmm,

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: there wasn't anything unexpected Saturday. It was actually very predictable.

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: Every higher seed one except one. Gonzaga. They reached their

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: ninth straight Sweet sixteen. They knock off Kansas and find Feddle.

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: The big names are still here. North Carolina, Arizona, Iowa State, Tennessee, Creighton, Illinois.

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: You name it. Now Sunday. You know we're ten hours

53
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: away from eight games on Sunday. Will that be the

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: same pattern? I guess We'll have to see. We'll have

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: to find out. By the way, later this hour, I

56
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: will share with you the formula. There is a seven

57
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: point formula that has predicted the national champion in nineteen

58
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: of the last twenty one tournaments, and when I give

59
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: it to you, you say, you know what, this makes sense

60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: in every team on that list right now is still alive.

61
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: But I did have some takeaways from today, a lot

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: of takeaways, and I want to start with NC State

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: and Kevin keatsy guy like I wanted you and w

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: I hire him here seven years ago when Dave Rice departed.

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: But it's water on the bridge. What's my takeaway in

66
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: NC State not that they beat Oakland and OT and

67
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: it was a typical March madness, you know, fist fighting

68
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: the phone booth. My question is can anybody stop DJ

69
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Burns Junior? The short answer not no, hell no. Burn

70
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: scored twenty four points, grabbed eleven boards, was key in

71
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: the overtime win. This guy was if you, if you

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: isled him, he can consistently all day. Had to fight

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: through double and triple teams, and when he couldn't muscle

74
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: his way to the rim, he had great vision dish

75
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: it out to shooters that were freed up by the

76
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: defensive crush and he even got himself four assists, a

77
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: double double, just a second this season, the first since December.

78
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: But after the game, Burns kind of looked at coach

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Keats and described the game as quote a boxing match,

80
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 2: like I said, a fist fight in a phone booth.

81
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: He said. Look, he could have gotten frustrated because there

82
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: were a lack of foul calls, but his composure made

83
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: all the difference. Hell, two weeks ago, you weren't even

84
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: talking about the wolf Pack, and either was I. They

85
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: weren't anywhere near the NC Tournament. They finished tenth in

86
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: the ACC's regular season standings. Now they're on their way

87
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: to the sweet sixteen. And uh, you know, I will

88
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: tell you this. We talk about expected, you unexpected. I

89
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: am not expecting UNC State to advance past the sweet sixteen,

90
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: but that probably means they will, So we'll see what happens.

91
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: Another key takeaway for what I saw on Saturday. See

92
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: I saw Creighton play UNLV here in December and they

93
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: were underwhelming to me. UNOV ran them off the court.

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: But NOL Creighton is exactly eighty minutes away from their

95
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: programs first ever Final four. Can they actually get to

96
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: the Final four? They escaped Saturday night and probably one

97
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: of the well certainly one of the best games in

98
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: the tournament so far this year. They had a few

99
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: days to recover from their double overtime win. But they

100
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: get to face Tennessee. And I've got Tennessee going to

101
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: the final four, and we all know about Rick Barnes.

102
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: I've seen Creton up close and personal. I don't think

103
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: they're that athletic, and Tennessee's very athletic. But the Blue Jays,

104
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: if you look at the way they nutted up today,

105
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: they should actually feel somewhat confident. They got a quarp.

106
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: They got four guys Baylor, Sherman, Trey, Alexander Ron KLCN Brenner,

107
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: Stephen Ashworth when they're firing in all cylinders and they're

108
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: all making huge plays. Oh oh, by the way that

109
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: I mentioned those four knuckleheads combined for seventy eight of

110
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: Crighton's eighty six points. They made a combined thirteen three pointers.

111
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Can they do that again? Now? They couldn't exactly stop

112
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: Jermaine Cusinard or Invalley Dante, but their defense stepped up

113
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: down the stretch when they needed to. They actually won

114
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: by thirteen in double overtime. What does it mean for

115
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: Graydon Walt? Your thirds Sweet sixteen appearance in four years?

116
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: And they're aiming for their second straight Elite eight appearance.

117
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: But I think that they're really going to have their

118
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: work cutting out. They're going to really have to tighten

119
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: up their defense. Against Oregon, they did whatever they wanted

120
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: for most of the game on the offensive end, and

121
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: basically in very simple fashion. Dante would set a high

122
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: ball screen for Cusnard, he would attack Calvin Brewner, he'd

123
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: go to drop coverage. He'd either score himself or pass

124
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: it to Dante would finish at the rim. Tennessee's more

125
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: athletic than Oregon. What are they going to be able

126
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: to do? We'll see. As I say, usually, you expect

127
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the unexpected. Let's jump to the east. Don't go to

128
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: sleep on Illinois. Are the Alliani a championship caliber team?

129
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: Are we channeling two thousand and five? Well, we know this.

130
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: They can score. They can also attack an opponent in

131
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: a lot of different ways. They got big men who

132
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: can also shoot the three, like Coleman Hawkins. They got

133
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: big boys who can score from the post like Dane Danga.

134
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: They were one of the country's leading scorers in Terrence Shannon,

135
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: who averages twenty three points a game. Marcus Stamask, damask,

136
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: excuse me, He's the first player in NCAA tournament history

137
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: to record a triple double in five years. Okay, the

138
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: road gets a lot more difficult, But on paper, the

139
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: ALLIONI might look like they have what a take to

140
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: win a national championship. Do I think they will do that?

141
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. Tennessee, everybody's waiting for the Rick Barnes

142
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: shoot to drop. Why not? It always does? It almost

143
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: did Saturday night. But whether people believe it or not.

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: Rick Barnes defended his team said, believe it or not,

145
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: we can actually shoot the ball. Tennessee beat Texas to advance,

146
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: and I think Barnes truly believes what he means. But

147
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: if Tennessee can really shoot, while were you only three

148
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: of twenty five from behind the arc on Saturday night?

149
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: Still that was good enough to win. And what's the

150
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: old Nolden Ryan saying? You know the mark of a

151
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: great pitcher when you beat the other guy and you

152
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: don't have your best stuff. But basketball teams go through

153
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: periods like that. Chuck Day once told me everything looks

154
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: better when the ball's going through the hoop and it

155
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: masks everything else that might not be looking so well.

156
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: But by Tennessee's own admission, it feels like a lid's

157
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: been on the basket for their last six games. But

158
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: if they can shoot, it means that Tennessee is something

159
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: to be taken very, very seriously. So they move on

160
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: to the Sweet sixteen for the third street season. That's

161
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: a good deal for Rick Barnes beat his former team

162
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Texas to get there, But look, he's not celebrating. He's

163
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: been gone from Texas for nine years. The truth of

164
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: the matter is it's a mark at Tennessee's strength that

165
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: the volunteers could defeate an opponent as good as Texas.

166
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: Why only shooting three to twenty five from the arc

167
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: behind the arc that's twelve percent, by the way, from

168
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: you math majors, that's the worst effort at least fifteen

169
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: attempts in the NCAA tournament in the last fourteen years,

170
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: and they managed to win. I have a lot more

171
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: takeaways from Saturday, and I am going to get to

Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, back in the Bernie Fowler Show, Fox

200
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, coming to you live from the Tirak dot

201
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: com studios here in Las Vegas. We are just getting

202
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: started here on a Saturday night. That interim, while you

203
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: wait another nine and a half hours before the ten

204
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: hours before the tournament resumes, we jump out West. We

205
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: continue with our takeaways for Saturday ladies and gentlemen. The

206
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: comedic stylings of Harrison Ingram, who predicted earlier before North

207
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: Carolina's game today against Michigan State that he was going

208
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: to have a big time performance. He was not lying

209
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: and they needed it. Even Tom Is said, this kid

210
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: was the X factor. Ingram hit five three pointers, scored

211
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: seventeen overall, pulled in seventeen boards. Ingram was the spark

212
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: the tar Hills needed after they fell behind twelve points early.

213
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: I like Hubert Davis. I will defend Hubert Davis and

214
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: Alan Boston on last night. Man, he he disagree with me.

215
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: Now you saw him call time out, said hey, hey,

216
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: lets we meet him at the fight we're going home,

217
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: and they did. And let me tell you some okay,

218
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: full disclosure, because we're all in the Fox Sports radio pool,

219
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: and I know people are beating their chest. Look, let's

220
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: wait till we get out two or three weekends. It's

221
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: like saying, hey, look I'm ahead. We just started. We're

222
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: one hundred feet into the New York City Marathon. But

223
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: I'm winning. Okay, Let's just wait see how many final

224
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: four teams we all have alive here next week. At

225
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: this time, I have North Carolina winning at all. I

226
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: have not forgotten how they had Kansas down by fifteen

227
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: two years ago and choked it away. I mean it

228
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: was bad. Like the great Johnnie Morton once set after

229
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: Allion's loss when it ended the postgame show, he says, today,

230
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: we took it like a two dollars Wrea. What made

231
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: me come up with that? Nice? Nicely? Don Mark? What

232
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: does it mean for North Carolina? Look, they have the goods.

233
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 2: They laid an egg last year, they had to hangover.

234
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: They've got basically the same team with much better defense

235
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: this year. If they don't go on a walk about,

236
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: I think they can win the whole thing. We will

237
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: see okay. One of the question marks facing North Carolina

238
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: coming into Saturday's game was a freshman guard by the

239
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 2: name of Elliet Cadou and the opener Well. His first

240
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: game against Wagner, he the moment looked too big for him.

241
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: He turned the ball over four times, he had no points.

242
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: He even said his performance was terrible. Saturday, Cadell faced

243
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: a much more talented backcourt at Michigan State. Played twenty

244
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: two minutes, scored six points for SIS, and while he

245
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: was on the floor, the tar Hills were plus twenty.

246
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on this team. There my pick to

247
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: win it all. We'll see some people like Iowa State.

248
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: They beat Washington State sixty seven to fifty six. Here's

249
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: the question. After everybody saw Iowa State completely destroy you know,

250
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: Prison Mall Houston by twenty eight last week, they raised

251
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: a lot of eyebrows. So the question really is what

252
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: are the cyclones? What is their ceiling? But what's real

253
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: because they can be very inconsistent on offense. You've seen it.

254
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: They made the first nine shots in the first round

255
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: against South Dakota State and then turned around around Saturday

256
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: morning and missed their first nine shots against Washington State.

257
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: They also want to have home court advantage going forward,

258
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: like they did playing so close to campus in the

259
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: first two rounds of Omaha. But they do play smothering defense,

260
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: and they are good enough to get to the final four.

261
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: They got to win two more games in a row.

262
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: That's not so easy. We'll see. Let's go to the Midwest.

263
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: Give it up to Gonzaga. Just how good is Gonzaga

264
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: After people wrote them off earlier in the year when

265
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: they fell out of the top twenty five, this we

266
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: know for sure when the Bulldogs need to turn it up,

267
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: they still show they can turn it up. They did

268
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: it today Saturday, exactly at the right time. There was

269
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: a seven minute stretch in the second half when either

270
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: either team could have won this game, and Gonzaga just said,

271
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: not up in here, not up in here. They put

272
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: together a twenty three to four run over a seven

273
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: minute stretch, shot fifty four percent from the three point arc.

274
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: They put the game on a reach for Kansas. And

275
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you when you got this combination of

276
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: graand Mike, Ben Greg and Braiden Huff on the court

277
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: at the same time, three tall trees six ten, six ten,

278
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: sixten oh by the way they got a six eight

279
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: forward Anton Watson. They're gonna be a tough matchup. Now

280
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: are they good enough or can they make a second

281
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: Final four in four seasons? That you have to be seen.

282
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: But so far, what's my takeaway? Gonzaka has played some

283
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: of their best ball. What it matters most? What does

284
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: it mean for Kansas? For the second straight year the

285
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: Jayhawks they go home after the second game in the tournament.

286
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: An underwhelming season right around Valentine's Day, Kansas had only

287
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: six losses on the whole year and maybe the toughest

288
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: conference in basketball. They finished their last seven games going

289
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: two to five. Kansas graduated three seniors. I like to

290
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: thank Kansas, along with John Calipari, and we'll get to

291
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: him later Kentucky for participating in the tournament. Talks already

292
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: spanned there a couple times. Today. I tell you what

293
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: this Arizona team. Can they finally look? Do they finally

294
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: have what it takes? Well? They can make it to

295
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: the Final four? They showed Saturday morning in Salt Lake City.

296
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: They can take someone's best punch and not get knocked down.

297
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: Dating is a scrappy, aggressive, tough team Defensively, They're weird man.

298
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: No free catches in space. They rotate, switch, communicate. They

299
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: are in your face, They plaster you. They hang all

300
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: over you like Taylor Swift is all over Travis Kelce,

301
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: but worse now. Dayton hung around and chipped away. Here's

302
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: the thing I don't get about Arizona. They led by

303
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: seventeen in the first half and say, instead of stepping

304
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: on Dayton's net, they they go on a walk about

305
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: the next thing. You know, it's a four point game.

306
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: But when Arizona needed to, they extended their lead into

307
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: double digits. And they never really let Dayton tie the

308
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: game or take the lead. But this is Dayton, the

309
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: number seven seed. It's redemption for Arizona because they got

310
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: bounced in the first round last year by Princeton, and

311
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: Arizona showed they have the talent, they have the size,

312
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: they have the experience, they have the depth. They can

313
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: make a splash. They can do it. They're gonna get

314
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: to the second week into the tournament. You got a

315
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: seven foot and omar Ballow. You got a seven foot

316
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: two freshman. I wish I could pronounce his name when

317
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: his last name is creevious, motigious. I don't know. Martin

318
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: might be able to help me out on that one.

319
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: They patrol the lane, Caleb Love, Killing Boswell, kJ Lewit.

320
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: They got players, they handle a perimeter, key Shaw Johnson.

321
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: This is a very, very very talented team. They've also

322
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: got depth. There's a fatigue factor in the tournament. Mentally

323
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: and physically. They are you know, it gets it gets hot,

324
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: it's gets hard to breathe, the ball gets a little heavier.

325
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: You've seen it. I mean you saw it earlier in

326
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: the night with Oakland. The inbound the ball was sixteen

327
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: seconds to go. Get a shot off. Do what you

328
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: gotta do, even if you got a Harlem blow trotter,

329
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: drop kick the damn thing. When you don't get a

330
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: shot off that that just makes your teeth itch when

331
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: you see that. I don't you know. So the key

332
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: is maybe it was mental fatigue or quantum physics takes

333
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: over Arizona. Is they have enough junk in their trunk

334
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: to not allow that to affect them. And you've got

335
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: a couple of guys Loving Johnson, Caleb Love, Keisha Johnson.

336
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: They've got Final four experience at North Carolina and San

337
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: Diego State, respectively, so they've been there before. They know

338
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: what it feels like, they know what it looks like.

339
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: The Wildcats. They can lean on those two guys for

340
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: the type of poison leadership you're gonna need when you

341
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: play a Sweet sixteen game next week and possibly in

342
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: e lait eight, for the right to go to the

343
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: Final four again. The heat gets hot, it's hard to breathe,

344
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 2: and you know, it's who do you trust? And I

345
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: like Tommy Floyd a lot. By the way, now Arizona

346
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: will play the winner of Baylor Clemson. Either one of

347
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: those teams is going to be a handful. Either one.

348
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe when Clemson was a dog against New Mexico, said,

349
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: what were they giving away money? New Mexico was a

350
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: Chinese fire earl. They were a mess. Offensively, they stunk,

351
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: They played hard, they rebound, they defend a little bit.

352
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: They play a lot of one on one ice of ball. Meanwhile,

353
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: Clemson went into Tennessee in one. Clemson had some great

354
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: road wins this year. I don't know who's gonna win

355
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: that Baylor Clemson game, but either one's gonna be a

356
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: handful for Arizona next Sunday in the Sweet sixteen in

357
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, which theoretically should favor Arizona. Arizona Southern California

358
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: is an Arizona crowd. If you get my drift the

359
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: short trip from Tucson, that's gonna feel like a home game.

360
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean doesn't mean that they can just

361
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: show up and throw the you know, roll the balls

362
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: on the floor and win. They still got to do it.

363
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 2: And then Arizona has really been disappointing. I don't care

364
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: who's coaching the team. Loud Olsen had his laid his

365
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: share of eggs, Sean Miller laid his share of eggs. Well,

366
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: see if Tommy Floyd you can write the ship as

367
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: it were. And because Arizona's always talented, but something was

368
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: exposed on Saturday that should be very concerning for Arizona fans.

369
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: Is my final takeaway from Saturday. They have turnover wars

370
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: woes and they were very well exposed. Now, the Wildcats

371
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: gave the ball away and just fifteen percent of their

372
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: possessions during PAC twelve play, but that rate increased Saturday.

373
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: The Wildcats gave the ball away fifteen times in seventy

374
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: two possessions. That's twenty one percent of their trips down

375
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: the floor, here's the ball. You get an extra possession

376
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: and we get one less possession. That isn't necessarily customary

377
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: for a Tommy Lloyd team, but you have to credit Dayton.

378
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 2: They turned up its defensive pressure in the late first half.

379
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: The press that Dayton deployed forced Arizona well out of

380
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: its comfort zone. If you've got that on film, any

381
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: opponent facing the Wildcats from hearing out might consider going

382
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: to school on Dayton and what they did to pressure

383
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: Arizona and have them turn over the ball. Coming up,

384
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: March Madness, it's a phenomenon. It's cast a spell over

385
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: the nation. It always does. Do you ever wonder why

386
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: why it causes all of us to be in a tata,

387
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: in a state of suspended animation for these first four

388
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: days and frankly for three weeks. I know it's plain why.

389
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: It's part art, it's part science. Coming up. I know

390
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: it's against the law to practice psychology without a license,

391
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna do it. But first look, if you

392
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted,

393
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: one moment and an update anchor, would you capture it

394
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: or let it slip. No, we go to our guy,

395
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 2: Martin Weiss with the latest.

396
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: All right, Bernie, let's go. You were talking about Mars Badgers.

397
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 5: Is now the first day of the second round is

398
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 5: in the books. North Carolina gets a win over Michigan

399
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 5: State eighty five to sixty nine. Armando Baycott eighteen and

400
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: seven in the winning effort, Arizona and Dayton Arizona, like

401
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 5: you just said, they get to win ten point win

402
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 5: seventy eight to sixty eight. Washington State loses to Iowa

403
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 5: State sixty seven to fifty six. Tennessee and Texas in

404
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: a game in which nobody wanted to make a three pointer.

405
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 5: Dalton connect at eighteen and nine on the way to

406
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: a sixty two to fifty eight win.

407
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 6: Illinois pounded du Cane they lose. I'm sorry. Illinois wins

408
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 6: eighty nine to sixty three.

409
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: Terrence Shannon Junior, he might be the best player in

410
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: this tournament, is still alive right now with at Burnie

411
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 5: He's got He had thirty points and the win double

412

Speaker 5: overtime for Creighton and Oregon, the Blue Jays get to

413
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: win eighty six to seventy three. Ryan Kalkbrenner with nineteen points,

414
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 5: fourteen rebounds, and five blocks. He's one of three scores

415
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: for uh One of the three scores for Creighton had

416
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 5: over nineteen points. Gonzaga dispatched Kansas earlier today eighty nine

417
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: to sixty eight.

418
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 6: Again, that was not a good game for the Jayhawks.

419
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 6: Theres they lose second time.

420
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,560

Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Buddy march Man. It says a spell

445
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: over us. This is real. We're ecstatic. Multitudes of fans

446
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: across the country and even around the world. I'm told

447
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: even in Italy, the nine hour time difference between the

448
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: United States and Italy, they're glued to the TV all night.

449
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: I think that's cool because I'm Italian. Well, you ever

450
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: wonder why we're so passionate about sports. Why when we

451
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: watch someone compete at such a high level, does it

452
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 2: give it such does it give us such a strong feeling?

453
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: You watch your favorite team, you watch your favorite athlete.

454
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: Even if you're on the losing side, you crave more.

455
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: Even if there are negative emotions. You can't wait for

456
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 2: the next game, especially if you fill out a bracket

457
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: or you've wagered a dollar or two on the affair. Now,

458
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: we live and die. You don't think you do, but

459
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: we live and die in the ups and downs because

460
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: it creates a certain nervous attention, a nervous tension that

461
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: we're addicted to. I've talked about this many times in

462
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: my show. I use baseball as an example. Every fifteen

463
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: seconds baseball, there's failure. Pitcher fails to throw a strike,

464
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: hitter fails to make contact, fielder fails to make a play,

465
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: hitter fails to reach base. It's a vicious cycle, or

466
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 2: repeats for three hours until someone wins the game. Does

467
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: it teach us? Failure is never final, and you can't

468
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: reach the promised land without setback. Nothing exemplifies this more

469
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: than March Madness. Sixty eight teams enter, one remains twenty

470
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: gut wrenching days later. Here's the science. It starts in

471
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: our brains. Our brains contain these things called mirror neurons,

472
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: and these brain cells fire when we get exciting that

473
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: we get excited watching people battle. Go to battle. Okay,

474
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: sometimes it's a gladiator sport. Sometimes you watch a player

475
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: cut across the defense with a no look pass, a

476
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: three pointer, nothing but that someone blocking the shy of

477
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: another player. What these neurons do is they create a

478
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: mirror image in my brain and our brain, in your brain,

479
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: and then literally make us feel what the player is

480
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: feeling until a mild deer degree, of course, but essentially

481
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 2: we are re enacting internally what we watch. In other words,

482
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: you're living vicariously through the players and teams. That's why

483
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: you're so addicted to March Madness. But that's not enough.

484
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: You want more for just about everybody listening to this show.

485
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: Athletics come on, They've been an integral part of your

486
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: life since elementary school. No matter how far you went

487
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: in your athletic career, it's never going to be enough.

488
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 2: See you start to examine why, how there's our treatment

489
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: of athletes border on hero worship, and how do people

490
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: go from being competitors themselves to becoming spectators who then

491
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: start to project their own hopes and their own fears

492
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: and their own passions out of the people They watch

493
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: because they feel a kinship. There's an unspoken fellowship with

494
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 2: the competitors on stage. And by the way, having a

495
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: bet on the game absolutely heightens the experience, so it

496
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: is filling out a bracket. It enhances a beating participation

497
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 2: of the event. It feeds your competitive spirit. Now you

498
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: got a buzzer beater. You got a one and done

499
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: format that can turn an unknown college kid into a

500
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: larger than line hero. Just like that mention, Jack Golki,

501
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 2: Look what he just did. March madness has this something

502
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: for everybody appeal and anybody who's ever filled out a

503
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: bracket or an office pool can attest to that. You

504
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: feel like you're really sharing in something bigger in the

505
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: games themselves. It's infectious. The underdog, the agony of defeat,

506
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: the soul searching the one shining moment. And no matter

507
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: how faithful your loyalty is to your school or how

508
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: close you sit to the court, the fanatic in you

509
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: always wants to be one step closer. You're just too removed.

510
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: You can never truly get there, and therein lives the

511
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: primary foil the average fan, because only the athlete in

512
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: arena can truly experience the magic. But if you try

513
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: to balance the two, it can be even difficult for you,

514
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: the most well adjusted person, because the thrill is grounded

515
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: in seeing human outliers performing athletic feats that very few

516
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: can replicate. Again, Jack Gokie, you never heard of him.

517
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: Last week he used a Division two transfer from Hilldale

518
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: Hillsdale exactly. Let's not poo poo the David Goliath aspect

519
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: of March Madness, because with every underdog victory, you can

520
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: bet people use it as fuel for their own lives.

521
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: I truly believe that their own personal endeavors, athletically speaking

522
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: or otherwise, because with every buzzer beater you're reminded anything

523
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: is possible, every vignette about the hardship of a player

524
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: who never gave up in spite of the long shot

525
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: odds to get on the floor where we told that story.

526
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: You want to become the author of your own legacy.

527
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: And in the end, few things can light life can

528
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: can truly match the uniqueness of this month long phenomenon

529
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: we know is March Madness, Because, as I've said before

530
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: many times, sports are the greatest reality show, and you

531
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: can script everything, but the ending. The lure of the

532
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: unscripted outcome of March Madness, the bragging rights of the winners,

533
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: the constant reminders to all the onlookers that you're witnessing

534
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: something that will be etched in your brain forever. Greg Campy,

535
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: great guy, been at Oakland University for forty years. For

536
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: the rest of your life and his life, and the

537
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: life of March Madness, You're gonna remember that huge upset

538
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: over Kentucky. And for all we know, we're gonna get

539
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: to this later. That may have been John Caliparter's last game.

540
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: We don't know. But this is why we watch. We

541
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: want to see, We want to witness something that is

542
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: far from ordinary, and it never fails to deliver. It's

543
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: why we care and we always will. So that's why

544
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: this year you're in, you're out March Madness. Will it

545
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: continue to justify and elevate you and create a frenzy?

546
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: And now, given the advent of legalized betting, that's going

547
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: to amplify things even further. It's the essence of the

548
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: rampant fanaticism of the Big Dance. Of course, we've known

549
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: that here in Las Vegas for years. In the end,

550
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: there'll be one hundred and forty nine million brackets filled

551
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: out coast to coast. There are over four hundred thousand

552
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: people that have descended upon since city this past week,

553
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: and it's a betting handle that's four and a half

554
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: times greater than the Super Bowl. So there you have it.

555
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: You've got nationwide appeal. You've got the fierce rivalries, the

556
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: bitter defeats, the sensational victories. When it looked like all

557
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: was lost till that's Creighton, the hope for a better day.

558
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: In the end, March madness is life. Just like in basketball,

559
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: a successful game plan starts with the right players. The

560
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: team at Traptor Supply brings hustle and heart, and that's

561
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: what really sets them apart. So lace up your sneakers

562
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: and make a winning play by heading to your local

563

564
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: that formula that's predicted nineteen to the last twenty one champions.

565
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: They all possessed these seven characteristics. H I'm Bernie Fradderchwerck

Speaker 2: the air, before we get into the Seven Elements, the

585
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: seven characteristics that each of the of the nineteen of

586
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: the last twenty one NCAA champions possessed. Before I get

587
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: into that, Shay in your bracket, who do you have

588
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: winning it all? My friend?

589
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 8: I have NC just like you.

590
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: Okay, good, so you're still alive, Still alive? I know

591
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: there are a handful of folks who had at Kentucky

592
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: and a lot had them in the final four and

593
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: not so much Martin Weiss. Who do you have winning

594
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: it all in your bracket?

595
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 5: That would be the University of Houston. Think Calvin Sampson

596
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 5: gets over the home.

597
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: I love that guy. I would be happy if they

598
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: did that. Maybe not so much for my bracket, but

599
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 2: I think it'd be a great story.

600
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 9: You know.

601
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: I remember remember the fire Slama Jamma team with Clyde

602
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: Drexler and the company, and they got a lot of

603
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 2: pub and never quite won. And he had a coach

604
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: named Guy Lewis in the late eighties, got to three

605
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: straight final fourth housed to can never quite get over

606
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: the hump. Mark Rams, did you did you a bracket? Bud?

607
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 10: I don't have a bracket, but I hope they're fighting

608
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 10: a line I make it all the way to.

609
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: That would be cool. I remember sitting in Vegas in

610
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and five believing it was their year. They

611
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: had three NBA players, yet they fell short to North Carolina.

612
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: They're good enough to do it, They're good enough to

613
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: do it, but can they do it? You know? It

614
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 2: reminds me. I'll tell you the story one last time.

615
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: I'll tell it again, probably nineteen ninety seven. I'm in

616
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: Michigan and just before I moved over to CBS ninety

617
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: seven to one in ninety eight, I was covering the

618
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 2: TPC Dearborn a senior event and Jack Nicholas was there

619
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 2: and I got to interview him for a second, and

620
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods was just coming out of the gates and

621
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: he came out like I'm in hell on wheels. And

622
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: I asked Jack, I said, is Tiger going to break

623
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: all your records? And Jack says, yeah, he's going to

624
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: do it, but he still has to do it. Like

625
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: what do you mean by that? He goes, well, I

626
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 2: want to see what his life looks like ten fifteen

627
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: years from now, after he's been married, had kids and

628
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: then his first major injury. Hmmm, that was pretty crazy. Well,

629
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: he came close. So Illinois could do it, North Carolina

630
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: could do it. He Uston could certainly do it. And

631
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: there are other people out there that are rooting for

632
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: other schools. But what are the seven characteristics nineteen to

633
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: the last twenty one NCAA champions I've possessed each of

634
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: these attributes. One nineteen to the last twenty one champs.

635
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: We're either a one, two, or three seed from a

636
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: major Power five conference. Team of the last twenty one

637
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: champs averaged greater than seventy four points a game. Nineteen

638
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: to the last twenty one champions allowed less than seventy

639
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: three points per game. Nineteen to the last twenty one

640
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: NCAA champions, they faced at least a top seventy five schedule.

641
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 2: Now this next one, you're gonna throw a flag when

642
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: I tell you what the attribute was, But work with me,

643
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: because I'll tighten it up for you. Number six nineteen

644
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 2: to the last twenty one had a coach with six

645
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: or more NCAA tournament appearances and at least one Elite game.

646
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: And the seventh attribute was nineteen to the last twenty

647
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: one NCAA champions, or they had been in the NCAA

648
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: Attorney the year before, or they have at least one

649
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: All American player on their roster. And you're gonna say, well,

650
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: wait a minute now, Number six, Bernie, that's a for Kayzy.

651
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: You're right. There were two outliers. The two outliers were

652
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 2: Connecticut in twenty fourteen and Connecticut in twenty twenty three.

653
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: Because their congent hadn't had six or more NCAA attorney appearances.

654
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: But if you have one of these teams, one of

655
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: these teams meet those seven elite elements. Arizona they're still alive.

656
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: Baylor they're still alive, Yukon they're still alive. Creighton, Yep,

657
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: they're still alive. Although it looked a little sketchy there,

658
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 2: didn't it. Iowa State they're alive heading into Sunday. Marquette

659
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: they're alive. North Carolina they're alive. Purdue, per don't now

660
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: Purdue wins this thing. I don't know, man. I would

661
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: just say, get your affairs in order. But there you

662
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: have it. Let me do it one last time and

663
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: I'll say a little louder for those in the back.

664
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: These are the seven elements. And by the way, if

665
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: you've got Arizona, Baylor, Yukon, Creighton, Iowa State, Marquette, uncre Purdue,

666
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: you meet the criteria. Yukon is the only outlier. They're

667
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: the only one to win in the last twenty one years.

668
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: They did it twice in twenty fourteen and twenty twenty

669
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: three that didn't fall under these seven categories. One, if

670
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: you were a one to two or three seat from

671
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: a major conference. You possessed one of the seven elements

672
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: the nineteen and the last twenty one NCAA champions. Number two,

673
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 2: you averaged over seventy four points a game. Number three

674
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 2: you allowed less than seventy three points per game. Number four,

675
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: you owned a margin of victory of more than seven

676
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: points per game, so you not only won all your games,

677
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: you average by more than seven point margin. Number six,

678
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: you had a coach with six or more NCAA tournament

679
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: appearances and at least one Elite eight game and the

680
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: final one you were either in the NCAA tournament last year. Well,

681
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: you have an All American player. So here we are.

682
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: We're nine hours and seventeen minutes away from Colorado Marquette.

683
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: Marquette's on that list. Perdue, Utah State Sunday. Perdue is

684
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 2: on that list. James Madison and Duke. Duke is not

685
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: on that list. Clemson and Baylor. Baylor is on that list.

686
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: Grand Cannon in Alabama. Alabama's not on that list. Yukona,

687
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 2: Northwestern Yukon, Yes, Houston, Texas A and M Houston, No,

688
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: they are not on that list. Yale and San Diego State,

689
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: which if I can we watch one game Sunday? That

690
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: might be the game I watch the hell, I'm gonna

691
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: watch them all coming up, Medina Magic, Midnight Magic, Mark,

00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,600

00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: so we'll have to get to all of them in

708
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: staccato fashion. How are you on this beautiful Cerulian Blue Sky,

709
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 2: Sunday morning.

710
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 11: Well, I'm doing better now that we're talking, but that's uh,

711
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 11: you know, it's been a pause because the bracket it's

712
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 11: already torn to shreds oh.

713
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: No, oh no. Well we've got support groups.

714
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 11: Thank you, Kentucky, Thank you Kentucky.

715
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: You'll want to hear my commentary at the bottom in

716
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: the hour. Then mister CALLI party. You know, we can

717
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: take up a collection plate starting to you know, go

718
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 2: fund me. All we need is thirty three million to

719
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: you know, wave goodbye.

720
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 11: You know what I was exaggerating a little bit. I

721
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 11: still have three surviving teams that are part of my

722
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 11: final four with Yukon, Iowa State and Duke. But I

723
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 11: mistakenly took Kentucky in that mix, even though I was

724
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 11: well aware of their inconsistency, their postseason slumps. I thought

725
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 11: it was the equivalent when you see and Rolette. It's

726
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 11: always landing on black. At some point, Red's gonna pop up,

727
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 11: but I guess not this year.

728
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: Well, they have the talent. I had him, I had

729
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: him losing in the Elite eight. But when I watched

730
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 2: their four or five final possessions the other night, it

731
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: was pathetic to watch and all the Isle ball the euroball,

732
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 2: I mean not swinging the ball sat aside. But that's

733
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: a conversation for a different day. Mark, you've written some

734
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: good pieces this week on the Philadelphia seventy six Ers

735
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: adjusting to life with the ups and downs they've had.

736
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: Are they still a contender in the easter? They fag ezy.

737
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 11: Well. I think that internally the Sixers certainly think they're

738
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 11: a contender, and the reason is that there's still a

739
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 11: lot of optimism that Joel Ebid is going to be back.

740
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 11: Now there is no specific timetable for his return. He's

741
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 11: been out for a month and a half, but the

742
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 11: Sixers have fully expected that he'll be back in time

743
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 11: for the playoffs. But I think that the current short

744
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 11: term challenge is is that Joel Ebid's a game changer.

745
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 11: Even though that everyone including players like Tyrese Maxy and

746
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 11: Tobias Harris and you know, Nicholas Patoomb and everyone else,

747
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 11: have had increased roles. They're all serviceable players. You can't

748
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 11: really fully replace thirty five points a game and MVP candidate,

749
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 11: And so where they are right now, it's number eight

750
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 11: in the East. But It's of their view that once

751
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 11: Joan Beat is back, their identity changes completely and when

752
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 11: the playoffs start, all you need is to be at

753
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 11: your best and healthy. But here's the problem. They got

754
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 11: to be better than eights because all that saying themselves

755
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 11: up is to have to play in tournament game and

756
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 11: then face the mighty Boston Celics in the first round,

757
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 11: which currently have a nine game winning streak and eleven

758
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 11: and a half game cushion for first place in the East.

759
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 11: So it's very uncumbent for them, the Sixers to try

760
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 11: to get the seven, maybe even six, so they can

761
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 11: at least avoid that play in tournament and also avoid

762
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 11: Boston the first round.

763
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: Mark, I'll just ask you one last blunt direct question.

764
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: So I watched the game Friday night, the Sixers fall

765
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: short to the Lakers one on one ninety four head

766
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: Julian Be played to shilldolp You in that road game, I.

767
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 11: Think they would have because okay, not just about thirty

768
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 11: five points a night, but the Sixers were in that game.

769
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 11: They well they were, and what was confounding is that

770
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 11: it was a product of them missing a lot of shots.

771
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 11: But most of the looks for Ropen. So yeah, I

772
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 11: think if Joel Embiid played, they would have been the Lakers. Now, look,

773
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 11: I'm not saying much. The Lakers are a playing team

774
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 11: their ninth place. They've had some wins, but they've been inconsistent.

775
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 11: But obviously Joel Embiid can certainly make them more of

776
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 11: a contending team than they are right now, because right now,

777
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 11: if the season ended today, they would just be, you know,

778
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 11: a playing game, playing type tournament team that could maybe

779
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 11: win a game and then lose in the first round.

780
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of a player who will return to the lineup,

781
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: it appears it'll be next week. I'm talking about Russell Westbrook.

782
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: And of course I've been pretty objective about Westbrook over

783
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: the years. I've picked on him, but I've also praised him.

784
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: I'm going to praise him. I think the Clippers have

785
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: actually missed his energy. There's six and five out him.

786
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 2: What do you expect Russell will Westbrook to bring back

787
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:05,479
Speaker 2: to the team when.

788
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 11: He returns this I think he's going to bring back

789
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 11: what we've all been accustomed to seeing with Russell Westbrook.

790
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 11: That he's going to produce easy baskets, play at a

791
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 11: fast paced have that competitive motor and I think the

792
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 11: good thing onlike you know, his time with the Lakers,

793
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 11: he has a lot of good roster balance so that

794
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 11: you know, his deficiencies are covered up and the Clippers

795
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 11: can accentuate his positives here. And I think you hit

796
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 11: the nail on the head. Since his absence, it's not

797
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 11: so much about, you know, the tangible skills that he

798
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 11: brings as a basketball player, but it's also been his

799
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 11: energy and the Clippers have fallen into kind of going

800
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 11: through the motions a little bit, not having that kill

801
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 11: or instinct that we saw earlier this season. I think

802
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 11: the other comforting thing about his return and I don't

803
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 11: think there are going to be questions about okay, is

804
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 11: do we have to worry about his workload? Can he

805
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 11: get injured again? He has a history of having a

806
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 11: lot of strong durability, so I suspect that he'll hit

807
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 11: the ground running, and him hitting the ground running means

808
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 11: a lot of fast speed and easy baskets.

809
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: I want to take it one step further and actually

810
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: give Russell will up. Why do I keep almost seeing

811
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. I want to give Russell Westbrook some additional

812
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 2: credit here, And uh, I know Mark, you're thinking, Bernie,

813
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: have you been drinking tonight? Have you been into uh?

814
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: Have you been into Grandpa's coffs.

815
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 11: I would have said the same thing if we were

816
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 11: talking about this two years ago exactly.

817
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 2: But let's in all seriousness, Russell will Russell Westbrook has

818
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: done something this year. I want to give them a

819
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 2: lot of credit. He's not only been willing to come

820
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: off the bench, he's maybe the top six man in

821
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: the league, and he ranks top ten and assists per

822
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: game for guys coming off the bench. For him to

823
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 2: do that to me, he I tip I tipped my

824
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 2: cat for him.

825
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 11: Yeah. I mean he's going to be in that mix.

826
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 11: You know, maybe someone like Malik Monk with the Kings.

827
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 11: You know, we can produce some contention there. But I

828
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 11: think that Russell Westbrook, who definitely deserves the case because

829
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 11: it's one thing to join a Clipper team after he's

830
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 11: you know, being on the buy out market and he's

831
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 11: trying to you know, rehab his reputation and try to

832
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 11: set himself up with another contract this offseason. But he's

833
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 11: had this buy in from the very beginning of the season.

834
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 11: I think that it's telling that when they're going through

835
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 11: that tough zero to five stretch. When James Harden first

836
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 11: joined the team, he Russell Westbrook's the one that brought

837
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 11: up the idea about coming off the bench, and a

838
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 11: lot of players, you know, including Russ in the past,

839
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 11: would never do such a thing. But I think that

840
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 11: because the Clippers made him feel so comfortable and that

841
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 11: he was able to thrive in that environment, he wanted to,

842
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 11: you know, to pay it forward and show that he's

843
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 11: willing to sacrifice, and I think that that set the

844
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 11: tone for all the other stars. James Harden was wanting

845
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 11: to back up his words with actions of he's a

846
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 11: guy that doesn't care about his numbers. He wants to

847
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 11: be on a winning team by making the right back

848
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 11: caball play the same thing with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

849
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 11: They've always been efficient two way players, but because of

850
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 11: that Bald movement that's been going on around the team,

851
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 11: they've been able to operate under a less is more approach,

852
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 11: so hence a lot more efficiency, a lot less wear

853
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 11: and terror. So even though the Clippers have gone through

854
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 11: a little bit of a rough patch, I think Russell

855
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 11: Westbrook will definitely set the tone for the Clippers to

856
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 11: head in the right direction of the postseason, assuming again

857
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 11: that everyone else stays healthy.

858
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: Talking to Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night here

859
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattles Show at midnight, Mark Medina of

860
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 2: course our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. Mark to Portland

861
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: Trailblazers did something tonight we've only seen twice in fifty years.

862
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: They started five rookies. But what I noticed about that game,

863
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 2: Portland got beat by three. They lost to Denver. Nicole

864
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 2: Jokik was out. He's got a back issue. You never

865
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: want to hear that. And Jamal Murray has an ankle issue.

866
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 2: How debilitating are those injuries, as Denver looks to repeat, Yeah.

867
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 11: Well they would be debilitating if they were season ending,

868
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 11: but thankfully for the Nuggets they aren't. So I think

869
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 11: that obviously, prior to these injuries, the Nuggets have shown

870
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 11: that they have a lot of separation between themselves and

871
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 11: the rest of the Western Conference because of the fact

872
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 11: that they have the continuity, they have the star power

873
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 11: with you know, Nicoloka to Jamal Murray, and just a

874
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 11: lot of depths and experience, and the only thing that's

875
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 11: going to hold them back is if health rears the

876
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 11: tug we had. Now, you know, knowing how the Nuggets are,

877
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 11: you know, with their head trainer Felipe Eichenberger, I suspect

878
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 11: that they'll handle them with caution. But when you look

879
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 11: at their you know, durability history these last few years,

880
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 11: they've been able to avoid major injuries, partly because they've

881
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 11: managed them so well, and you know, from top to bottom.

882
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 11: You know, they've been pretty disciplined with their you know,

883
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 11: regiment as far as weight training and you know, all

884
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 11: off day work. That I suspect that they'll be back

885
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 11: in the lineup pretty quickly, fair enough, and.

886
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 2: I certainly knew they weren't season ending. But when you

887
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: hear back and you get into that two month gauntlet,

888
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 2: well you might have to play seven games and fourteen nights.

889
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: You just want to hear that with a big man

890
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: like Yogic, Right, he's human, even though he might not

891
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 2: be human, he's got a back, right, So just a thought.

892
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 11: Yeahah, and look, I think short term this is good.

893
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 11: I think crystallize what the Nuggets are prioritizing these last

894
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 11: see regular season games. You know, they are currently in

895
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 11: second place, their neck and neck with the thunder for

896
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 11: the first seed. You know, because of what you just outlined,

897
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 11: I think clearly the Nuggets are going to go and

898
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 11: choose health over seating, and that sets them up to

899
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 11: have the seventh team and look like I don't think

900
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 11: the Nuggets would lose in the first round anyway. But

901
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 11: you know, even with a seating one through two, you

902
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 11: could set yourself up where your first round opponent is

903
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 11: a lot more Difficut call and that might catch up

904
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 11: to you in the playoffs as far as attrition goes.

905
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 11: But I think even with that, you know, negative it

906
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 11: never trumps, you know, wanting to have full health because

907
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 11: you know, that's always the main variable that determines whether

908
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 11: a team can win a championship.

909
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 2: Well, and speaking of that, I've been very impressed with

910
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Pelicans this year. Zion Williamson is really

911
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: living up to his site. Brandon Ingram now out for

912
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,959
Speaker 2: two weeks with an e issue. This is a team

913
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 2: that solidly got, you know, in the fifth seed. How

914
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: much does this hurt the Pelicans.

915
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 11: Well, it hurts the Pelicans a lot because Brandon Ingram

916
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 11: I thought he should have been the All Star Game

917
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 11: this year. He's been very efficient He's really improved, as

918
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 11: he always has every year of his career of being

919
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 11: able to blend this unique combination of you know, having

920
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 11: the post up game that kind of reminds you of

921
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 11: Kevin Durant and also a lot of aggressiveness at the rim,

922
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 11: and he's also a playmaker. And I thought that, you know,

923
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 11: Willie Green was you know, maybe exaggerating a little bit

924
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 11: when he proclaimed that Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram are

925
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 11: the best duo in the NBA only because they hadn't

926
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 11: played a lot of games together. And I can think

927
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 11: of players like Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Paul George Kawhi Leonard,

928
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 11: let's see Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Luca Docs, Kyrie Irvin

929
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 11: that would have issue with that. I'm probably leaving some

930
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 11: duos out, but I think the bottom line is he

931
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 11: and Zion compliment each other. Well. They're both you know,

932
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 11: ironically young players, but they're also in their prime, so

933
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 11: to speak, so they do have a little bit of

934
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 11: continuity together. But there's also been a feeling that there's

935
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 11: unfinished business because they haven't had the most available time together.

936
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 11: And so as it pertains to Brandon Ingram's current injury,

937
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 11: you know, thankfully, again, like the Nuggets, injury situations not

938
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 11: season ending. But it's been very important for the Pelicans

939
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 11: this season to not only have as many games as

940
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 11: possible for Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson to play together,

941
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 11: but also with CJ. McCollum, because that represents a pretty

942
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 11: unique trio that can make them dangerous in the playoffs.

943
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: And if the playoffs started today, I believe they'd lock

944
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 2: horns with the Clippers. That'd be a hell of a series.

945
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 2: Last thing for me, Mark, I am trying to get

946
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 2: my brain around this story with this analyst for the

947
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 2: Timberwolves who he's out of jail now, but he took

948
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 2: some documents and can you make Heidner hear the story?

949
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 11: It is wild? I mean, you know, when you couple

950
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 11: that with the you shohey a tiny story with the Dodgers,

951
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 11: you just wonder how much of a Pandora's box. I

952
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 11: think two things have happened, even though there's no gambling

953
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 11: involved with the Minnesota story. Data and proprietary information has

954
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,240
Speaker 11: been such a sacred thing, not just because of gaming,

955
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 11: but also because of the growing aspect of analytics and

956
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 11: scouting here, and so even though it's completely different as

957
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 11: far as is you know the allegations of how the

958
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 11: Tani's interpreter, the common denominator is that you know, data

959
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 11: and inside information has become such a valued resource in

960
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 11: professional sports, and all it takes is for one person

961
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 11: to use it for the wrong reasons.

962
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 2: Here, Mark, great stuff is always and I'm always amazed

963
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 2: at how many fresh headlines there are a week after

964
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 2: weeks we look forward to next Saturday at midnight as well.

965
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 11: I appreciate my friend, and hopefully I'll stell with some

966
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 11: final four teams left next weekend.

967
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, we'll be talking then. Thanks, Mark, appreciate it.

968
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: Mark think, Mark Medina Medina Magic are Fox Sports Radio, NBA.

969
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: You hear him all around the network. Now, coming up

970
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the hour, I'm going to give

971
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 2: my thoughts on John Calipari. In fifteen years, he had

972
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: a good run, maybe not a great run, but a

973
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 2: good one for final fours, one national title. But the

974
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: last few years Kentucky bassketball they've looked like a drunk cross,

975
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 2: like an icy street. So before I give my commentary

976
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 2: at to the bottom of the hour, I want to

977
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 2: bring in the crew. I want to hear what Martin

978
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: and Shay and Mark Ramsey have to say. Is it

979
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: time for John Calipari to say? Syonara that means goodbye?

980
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fradderwick comedy line from the Las Vegas Fox

981
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 2: Sports Radio tirect dot Com Studios. Don't go away. You're

982
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

983
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 2: We're back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio

984
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: Comedy live from the Tarrat dot com studios here in

985
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Bottom of the hour. I will give my

986
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 2: commentary on what I believe needs to happen between John

987
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 2: Calipari and the University of Kentucky. But first, let's bringing

988
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 2: the crew. Martin Weiss, you're a college basketball officionado. Is

989
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 2: it time for John Calipari to go?

990
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I think it kind of depends on

991
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 5: which way you're looking if I'm John Calipari at this point,

992
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 5: with you knowing that the situation is what it is,

993
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 5: that they could go thirty two one oh in the

994
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 5: regular season next year and no one will give a

995
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 5: damn as long as they don't, you know, at least

996
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 5: have a Final Four appearance.

997
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 6: Or lead eight appearance.

998
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 5: I wonder is it best time for me to take

999
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 5: my services elsewhere if I'm Johnny c because the pressure

1000
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 5: is a lot at Kentucky, and like he said, he's

1001
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 5: got young guys around. But for thirty three million, I

1002
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 5: think he's gonna be my coach for one more year.

1003
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 5: If it's firing him, that would be my take.

1004
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a pragmatic approach. I accept that, Shane Mogan

1005
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 2: guard your thoughts.

1006
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I really don't think they're gonna fire him. I

1007
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 8: honestly like what I think Kentucky really needs is a

1008
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 8: culture change, and if that means firing Calipari, sure fire him.

1009
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 8: But I mean I don't really know a coach. I mean,

1010
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 8: he's a good coach, don't get me wrong. He hasn't

1011
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 8: been like doing. I mean, Kentucky puts a lot of

1012
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 8: money into it. There's a lot of expectations. I mean,

1013
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure they put the most money into their

1014
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 8: program and compared to most of the NCAA. I've seen

1015
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 8: that stat before somewhere, and I'm I'm also pretty sure

1016
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 8: that Calipari. Yeah, he hasn't done what he he's done

1017
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 8: in the tournament, but again, Martin, why said it? If

1018
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 8: you can go thirty whatever, thirty two and oh, like,

1019
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 8: no one's gonna care. He has a lot of pressure

1020
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 8: on him. It's just the thing is, the players are

1021
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 8: super unorganized. It seems like almost every year there's something

1022
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 8: going on in the locker room. So I feel like

1023
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 8: the biggest thing that just needs to happen is a

1024
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 8: culture change. So yeah, sure, if Calipari needs to go, Yeah,

1025
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 8: but I really don't think it's a Calipari problem.

1026
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: Well did you see the last five or six possessions

1027
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: offensive possessions that Kentucky had in that game against Oakland

1028
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 2: the other night? Did you see that shape? Yeah? It

1029
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 2: was bad.

1030
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 8: But at the same time, people take away from Oakland

1031
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 8: like this is a year like that Oakland was if

1032
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 8: they were gonna do good in the tournament, Like this

1033
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 8: was the year that they were gonna do get into

1034
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 8: the tournament. And like I've been doing a lot of

1035
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 8: research on the team. I didn't really know them before

1036
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 8: the tournament, but I mean they got some I mean

1037
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 8: they got some great players on the team. Yeah, team exactly.

1038
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 8: And they're they're strong, I mean, they're athletic, they know

1039
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 8: how to play and I I just I think people

1040
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 8: are really taking away from Oakland when they're talking about this,

1041
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 8: and that's the Met's fair.

1042
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 2: That's fair. But think about what you said about the

1043
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 2: expectations of Kentucky. They want to win, and I think

1044
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: everything is juxtaposed against what are you expecting to happen?

1045
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: And I think there were some hopes this year Kentucky

1046
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 2: showed some real flashes. But fair enough. Again, two very measured,

1047
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 2: non emotional responses by Martin and say I like it.

1048
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, your thoughts on the matter.

1049
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 10: Bernie is cala Pari the coach that specializes in the

1050
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 10: one and done student player.

1051
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 2: Pretty much, he pretty much invented it and capitalized that.

1052
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 2: But it's not working anymore.

1053
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 10: So that's what I'm gonna say. So it's not working anymore.

1054
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 10: So now they want to get rid of him. Where

1055
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 10: he wants to go? What is the general idea about,

1056
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 10: you know, behind the whole thing.

1057
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: I don't think he wants to go, and I think

1058
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 2: we're going to find out in the next few days.

1059
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't think they want to get rid of him.

1060
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 2: They it's a good question, Okay, If they do, they're

1061
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 2: going to have to write him a thirty three million

1062
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: dollar check. After next year it becomes twenty seven million dollars.

1063
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 2: You just saw what happen with Jimbo Fisher at Texas

1064
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 2: A and M in their football program. So they have

1065
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 2: the money if they really want to do it in

1066
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 2: the court.

1067
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 10: So the idea is that it's not working anymore for

1068
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 10: the one and done thing, and now it's all sort

1069
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 10: of coming apart, and the teams aren't that great anymore

1070
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 10: because students don't stick around. So now everybody's debating whether

1071
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 10: he should stay or should he go.

1072
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's fair, I said on my Friday night show

1073
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 2: that it appears and this is not exactly, you know,

1074
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: a great revelation. Kentucky's merely become a way station on

1075
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: your way to the NBA. And by their coach's own admission,

1076
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 2: he wants to get guys to the NBA more than

1077
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 2: win championships. And that's all well and good, But I

1078
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,919
Speaker 2: think that the good folks of Kentucky who live, breathe, eat,

1079
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 2: you know, basketball. You know, you could say it's a

1080
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: matter of life and death, but it's actually more important

1081
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 2: than that in Kentucky. Look, Calipar is sixty five years

1082
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 2: old now, he can choose to walk away. He's a

1083
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 2: basketball Hall of Famer, he's been a national champion, He's

1084
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 2: wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. He would probably even get

1085
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 2: a coaching shot somewhere else if he wanted to coach

1086
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: somewhere else. There are plenty of good jobs that are open,

1087
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 2: are going to be coming open, and he could make

1088
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 2: that move if he does it on himself. But look,

1089
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: this is March madness. This is bracket time. Okay, now,

1090
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 2: let me let me regress for just a second. Let

1091
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 2: me digress for just a second. I don't want to regress.

1092
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 2: I want to digress. There are two things I typically avoid,

1093
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: like the plague. I don't go through drive throughs. You know,

1094
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 2: I want to go to my favorite burger joint, I

1095
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: don't go through the drive through. And I don't go

1096
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: to AATM machines. Don't do it because every time I

1097
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 2: go to a drive through, all I want is my

1098
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 2: damn happy meal. Don't want to get beyond get the

1099
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 2: hell out of there. Right never fails. I'm always behind

1100
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: somebody who's ladering enough dinner food for the fifth fleet,

1101
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 2: and I'm waiting and waiting and waiting, and then they

1102
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: pay from the spare change of their piggy bank. I

1103
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: don't know why I track that. Okay, every time I

1104
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 2: go to an ATM machine, I just want to get

1105
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 2: my two hundred bucks and beyond my way, quickly get

1106
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 2: the hell out of there. Never fails. I'm always behind

1107
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 2: somebody who's trying to orchestrate a leverage bank buyout at

1108
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 2: an ATM machine. So I do my best to avoid

1109
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 2: these situations. Every now and then I lose focus. But

1110
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: one thing I never do is bet Kentucky to win

1111
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: the national championship, or put them to win the national

1112
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 2: championship in my bracket, or even put them in the

1113
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 2: final four. And once again this year, they did not disappoint.

1114
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm going to give you my thoughts on

1115
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 2: what I believe needs to happen at Kentucky. And you know,

1116
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a mystery right now, but we're

1117
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 2: gonna know in the next few days because there are

1118
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 2: going to be round table meetings. But before I get

1119
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: to that, hey, it's time. His palms are not sweaty,

1120
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 2: his knees are not weak, his arms are not heavy.

1121
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 2: No vomit on a sweater already, Mom, spaghetti he nervous

1122
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 2: on the surface, he's calm and rady. It's our guy,

1123
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 2: Martin Weiss.

1124
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 5: Speaking of table meetings, apparently there was one last night

1125
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 5: in ann Arbor and as a result, now former Florida

1126
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 5: Atlantica coach Dusty May will be the new head coach

1127
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 5: in ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. Florida Atlantic

1128
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 5: one of the most successful teams in college basketball over

1129
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 5: the last two season.

1130
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 2: Do you feel about that higher, Martin, I gotta know,

1131
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: I gotta know, man, I know the three men you

1132
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 2: admire most, the father's son, and feeling yost. You're mister Michigan.

1133
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 5: I would say, I mean, I had never heard of

1134
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 5: Dusty May until about this time last year, so, you know,

1135
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 5: but I'd say this, if you can be if you

1136
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 5: can win six he won sixty games over the last two.

1137
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 6: Seasons right at Florida Atlantic.

1138
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 5: That's pretty doll going good, Bernie, And it would be

1139
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 5: about a fifty two win improvement over what we have

1140
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 5: in in Arbor last year, which won Howard only winning

1141
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 5: eight games, and that was a program.

1142
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 6: I was headed down the toilet fast, you had, you know,

1143
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 6: I mean, it was just I went.

1144
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 5: To Michigan during the dark days of Michigan football, which

1145
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 5: also coincides with the bright days of Michigan basketball.

1146
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: So but that was the thing.

1147
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 5: We were Michigan basketball fans because the football team stunk, right,

1148
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 5: and he had Zach Novak and Stu Douglas and Jordan

1149
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 5: Morgan and Darius Morris. That built the foundation for guys

1150
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 5: like Trey Burke and Nick Dauskas and Glenn Robinson the

1151
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 5: third and Mitch McGarry who were most.

1152
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 6: Off most of not all lottery picks.

1153
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 5: So you know what, if this guy like Dusty May,

1154
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 5: like I said, won sixty games in the last two seasons,

1155
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 5: signed me up, you know, because it's been ugly just

1156
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 5: about everything else going on.

1157
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 6: So that's my take, all right.

1158
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 5: Uh, speaking of he lost last night Florida or yesterday too,

1159
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 5: whoa loose? Now, I'm all confused because it just turned

1160
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 5: to be twelve thirty seven Pacific times.

1161
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 6: So two days ago, first round.

1162
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 5: Of the tournament, Dusty May lost, But the second round

1163
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 5: of the tournament first day wrapped up yesterday, North Carolina

1164
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 5: beat Michigan State. You know, they used to say January

1165
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 5: February is oh ha, not anymore anyway, Armando Bacott.

1166
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 2: That felt good, Martin.

1167
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 5: It did because I saw the last thing I needed

1168
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 5: was Michigan State to go on That was the last

1169
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 5: thing I needed was Michigan State to go on a run.

1170
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 5: Because as Michigan football won a national championship, Michigan State

1171
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 5: football could not have been in a worst place after

1172
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 5: Mel Tucker and his phone transgressions. And now we'll see

1173
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 5: what the new head coach, Jonason Smith can do. But

1174
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 5: as you know, that's a rivalry that extends further than football.

1175
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 5: It goes all the way across in Bernie. When I

1176
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 5: was an undergrad, there was one hundred and I mean

1177
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 5: one thousand and eleven days between Michigan State and Michigan.

1178
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 5: Michigan State had beaten in football and men's basketball that

1179
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 5: whole time, and they finally beat him with Trey Burke

1180
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 5: stole the ball from Keith Appling up there and he's

1181
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 5: Lansing and now they're going home through to North Carolina

1182
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 5: and Armindo Baycott's eighteen points of seven rebounds sent him home.

1183
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 6: Earlier yesterday Dayton in Arizona.

1184
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 5: Arizona gets to win seventy eight to sixty eight early

1185
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 5: Iowa State Washington State. Iowa State gets to win by

1186
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 5: eleven sixty seven to fifty six.

1187
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 6: Tennessee and Texas.

1188
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 5: Tennessee was three for twenty five at one point from three,

1189
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 5: but they still get to win sixty two to fifty eight.

1190
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 5: Thought to connect with eighteen points and nine rebounds. Duke

1191
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 5: Caine got pounded by Illinois eighty nine to sixty three,

1192
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 5: Terrence Shannon with thirty in double overtime. The Creighton Blue

1193
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 5: Jays were victorious over the Oregon Ducks. Oregon try but

1194
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 5: they just ran out of gas in the second overtime

1195
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 5: sixty eight to seventy three. There Ryan Kalprenner with the

1196
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 5: stat line you won't hear that off to nineteen points,

1197
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 5: fourteen rebounds and five blocks.

1198
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 6: Who was that?

1199
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 5: Victor Webbinyama, No, just Ryan Kulkbrenner. Final in forgin Zaga

1200
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 5: they beat Kansas and Kansas teen that was shorthanded without

1201
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 5: m Kevin McCullers and Hunter Dickinson was nicked up formerly

1202
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 5: of Michigan who transferred on the way out of there.

1203
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 5: And finally an overtime Oakland Oakland University of Oakland, which Burney,

1204
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 5: believe it or not, send me a recruiting letter. Got

1205
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 5: one from Greg Campy when I was over there playing

1206
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 5: basketball at West Bloomfield High School.

1207
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 2: He said, well, you're a Laker.

1208
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 6: Yeah I am.

1209
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 2: I'll be a son of a gun I am.

1210
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 6: I am a Lake, Phil lak Me and Donovan Edwards.

1211
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 6: You know that the fall program really turned the round

1212
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 6: in the year that I was.

1213
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: I mean Thomas Wilcher when I was there.

1214
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 6: No, that's cast Tech.

1215
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 5: Okay, you're thinking of Ron Bellamy who is now an

1216
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 5: receivers coach for University of Michigan. He turned that program

1217
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 5: around because when I was there, they won about eight

1218
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 5: games the entire four years that I spent that was Moonfield.

1219
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 6: But eat any event, Oakland sent home today.

1220
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,760

Speaker 5: one twenty four to one thirteen. The Wizards get a win.

1228
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 5: That's not a cent that you can say often this year.

1229
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 5: That's their thirteenth on the year. They beat the Raptors

1230
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 5: one at twelve to one oh nine. Gary Trent had

Speaker 5: the Nets one oh five to ninety three. Donte de Vincenzo,

1237
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 5: a former star in March who I will never forget

1238
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 5: that National Championship game where he just decided that now

1239
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 5: is my time to go off against the University of Michigan.

1240
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 5: Dante DiVincenzo with thirty one and six rebounds. Bernie, back

1241
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 5: to you.

1242
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 2: So, my son was a point guard at Nova in

1243
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 2: two thousand and four and we lost to West Bloomfield,

1244
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 2: the West Bloomfield Lakers in the regional semi finals.

1245
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 6: That would have been Dave Merritt and Mondo.

1246
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Is that right? That was a good team they had.

1247
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: They had a couple of really good low post players

1248
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 2: close game, but they got us. They got us, and

1249
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 2: of course they went on to build a great football program,

1250
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 2: but not long after that as West Bloomfield. And by

1251
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 2: the way, my dear mother went to the University of Michigan.

1252
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 2: She was there on Ron Kramer was there. I was

1253
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 2: born in Michigan but went to school in California, but

1254
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 2: they moved back in ninety three, spent seventeen great years.

1255
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 2: There was kind of a fluke. People have to live

1256
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 2: there to really truly know the hatred between Michigan State

1257
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 2: and Michigan. They had just have to know live there.

1258
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 2: And maybe we'll talk about that at another time. But

1259
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 2: I heard the the palpable sense of glee in your

1260
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 2: voice when Michigan State went down, and I get it.

1261
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 2: I get it. Good stuff. But Martin, one last thing.

1262
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 6: What's up?

1263
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 2: So you were there during the great let me clear

1264
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 2: my throat Sam McGuffey years at Michigan your thoughts. Yeah.

1265
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 5: First of all, I was at the game in which

1266
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 5: he was returning a kick and got a concussion and

1267
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 5: I was like, man, it's never going to walk again

1268
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 5: after the hit that he took. But believe it or

1269
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 5: not true story. You know, Terrence Robinson was also a

1270
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 5: freshman wide receiver. He was in that coming in that

1271
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,560
Speaker 5: incoming class, and he didn't play too often, but we

1272
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 5: became friends throughout.

1273
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 6: The summer programs and so on.

1274
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 5: I'm at a party with t rob all right, and

1275
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 5: this is after one of the Michigan football games in

1276
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 5: his freshman year, and someone and this girl comes up

1277
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 5: to me and says, are you Sam McGuffey.

1278
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, what, I'm not white.

1279
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 2: You're about six ' four Sam mcguffey's about five to

1280
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:16,839
Speaker 2: four exactly.

1281
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 6: I'm about I'm supposed to be.

1282
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 2: The greatest thing out of Texas since Roy Roberson.

1283
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 5: Not one of the first YouTube stars of the generation.

1284
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 5: Sam McGuffey he had.

1285
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 2: Some game, but he was no Blake Coram, that's for sure.

1286
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,560
Speaker 5: But he was about five eight and white. I was

1287
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 5: a cool six three and black and super skinny. There's

1288
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 5: no way I was playing football. Two Michigan basketball, two

1289
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 5: Michigan athletes. I got confused for the first one was

1290
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 5: Sam McGuffey. My freshman year, then my junior year, people

1291
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 5: will call me Jordan Morgan, So there you go.

1292
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 2: Well, nobody called me Stephen Threet and I'm glad because

1293
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 2: he couldn't play.

1294
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 6: All right, man, another can be.

1295
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: I think I'm faster than him in my current age.

1296
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 2: I would race him right now, all right, never mind

1297
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: moving on. At some point the next few days, John

1298
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 2: Calipari and the good people in Kentucky, the officials there,

1299
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 2: they really kind of need to have a sit down,

1300
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,560
Speaker 2: Sopranos type sit down. And I really think here's what

1301
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 2: needs to happen. Forget the thirty three million, find a number,

1302
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 2: it's over. It just kind of needs to be over.

1303
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why. Just picture what this is

1304
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 2: going to look like a few months down the road.

1305
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Torus might have alluded to this. Say

1306
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 2: Caliparia returns to Kentucky next year after this most recent

1307
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 2: recent March disaster, all right, and it's probably a seventy

1308
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 2: percent chance, but or maybe more. This time they lose

1309
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 2: to Oakland, and give Oakland a lot of credit. As

1310
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 2: they said, I agree with that this dude is going

1311
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 2: to be the most miserable guy walking around campus, A multimillionaire,

1312
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 2: sixty five going on sixty six dude in a state

1313
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 2: that no, really, they don't really want him there anymore. Okay,

1314
01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 2: and he's no longer the Knight in Shining Armor. Just

1315
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 2: forget it. Man, The Emperor has no clothes. So what's

1316
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: really the point of putting the student body and the

1317
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 2: fan base and even John Calipari and himself, what's really

1318
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 2: the point of doing that again? Next year? What's going

1319
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 2: to be different. It was a good run, I said

1320
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 2: it earlier, Not a great run, but a good one.

1321
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 2: He was there fifteen years four. Final four was one

1322
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 2: national title. Not bad, not great, not bad, but based

1323
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 2: on what was expected or what should have been given

1324
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,719
Speaker 2: the incredible number of five star prospects that have gone

1325
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 2: through that school and gone on to NBA, how would

1326
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 2: you start him. You can start naming Kentucky players, and

1327
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,600
Speaker 2: they made a real impact in the league, but they

1328
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 2: want national championships in Kentucky and they managed to slip

1329
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 2: through their fingers every year, and now it's getting more

1330
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 2: differous than you can ever imagine. All Right, last year

1331
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 2: they lose to check that two years ago, two years ago.

1332
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 2: He lose to Saint Peter's in twenty twenty two and

1333
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: Kentucky was a two seed. Saint Peter's was a fifteen seed.

1334
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 2: Thursday night against Oakland, the Oakland Grizzlies a number fourteen seed,

1335
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 2: and give it up to Jack Golkie. Give it up

1336
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 2: to Oakland. They earned that victory. Frankly, I think Jack

1337
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Golkie and Caitlin Clark you define each other on tender

1338
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 2: and swipe right. Man, that might be one hell of

1339
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: a score they can produce. This kid came from Hillsdale College,

1340
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 2: a great academic school, twenty four years old, grad student.

1341
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 2: His own teammates call him. He looks like a substitute teacher.

1342
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 2: I love the guy. He can play. He did some

1343
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 2: cool things. Man, he had more He had more threes

1344
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 2: in two games than Steph Curry did. But I digress Calipari.

1345
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 2: You know they don't get the Jack Golkies. They get

1346
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 2: the John Walls, They get the Devin Bookers. The Karl

1347
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns is the Anthony Davises. Greg Campy gets transfers

1348
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 2: out of Hillsdale, and they're torching their lottery picks for

1349
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 2: ten to three pointers and in the meantime your torching.

1350
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, what does John Calipari say after the game? Quote?

1351
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 2: Our team shouldn't be defined by that game, but it

1352
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 2: will be end quote what the hell do you expect.

1353
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,560
Speaker 2: How are we not going to find Kentucky by what

1354
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,600
Speaker 2: just happened again? And then all of a sudden, you

1355
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 2: know he has to go him on rock. This is

1356
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 2: the profession we've chosen. But you know, we had some

1357
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 2: guys who didn't play the way they've been playing all year.

1358
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,639
Speaker 2: Oh sure, throw your players under the bus, sit down,

1359
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: get in the room, come up with the number. Come on,

1360
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 2: and this in a dignified fashion. Don't fire him, don't quit,

1361
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 2: make it go away in a way that everybody sort

1362
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:42,839
Speaker 2: of keeps their their dignity and Caliparo's ego remains intact,

1363
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 2: and everybody realizes the time to move on. Maybe he

1364
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 2: gets another job, That's what I think. Speaking of lunacy,

1365
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 2: Long Beach State's athletic director did something I despise. I

1366
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 2: call it stab of the dead bodies. After the war

1367
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 2: is over, I'll tell you what he did, why it

1368
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,560
Speaker 2: made my teeth it. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're coming to

1392
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 2: by now, Long Beach State's athletic director about five or

1393
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 2: six days. His name is Bobby Smitherin, about five or

1394
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 2: six days prior to the Big West Conference Tournament basketball

1395
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 2: tournament commencing fired. I say that in ner quotes fired

1396
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 2: coach Dan Monson. He said he was going to be

1397
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 2: done at the end of the year, right, and what happened?

1398
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: Long Beach State goes on to of course win the

1399
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 2: conference tournament and a spot they lost Arizona. But be

1400
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 2: that as it may, I think the season in and

1401
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 2: on an uptick or Long Beach State basketball. So what

1402
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 2: does Long Beach State's athletic director do? He said, quote

1403
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 2: the timing of his decision to fire coach Dan Monson

1404
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 2: was done with the hope that it might trigger the

1405
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 2: exact run that led the team on its unexpected trip

1406
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,600
Speaker 2: to the NCAA Tournament. Are you kidding me? Are we

1407
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 2: really gonna play Mickey the Dunce? You're really going to

1408
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 2: take credit for what you did? And he almost kind

1409
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 2: of doubled down. He says, my belief, in hope is

1410
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 2: that by doing what I did and the timing of it,

1411
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 2: that the team would play inspired. And that's exactly what

1412
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,719
Speaker 2: they did. That's what Bobby Smitherin told the Associated Press

1413
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 2: on Thursday, just a few hours before Long Beach State

1414
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 2: tipped off against Arizona. He finished up the quote by saying,

1415
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to pat myself on the back, but

1416
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 2: it worked. No, that's exactly what you were trying to do,

1417
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 2: patch yourself on the back, Martin. You saw that story,

1418
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: didn't you? Dan Monson a whole deal with Long Beach State?

1419
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 2: And I did, And of course you know Dan Monson,

1420
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 2: he was really sort of the original architect of Gonzaga

1421
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 2: basketball before even Mark fu What was your just your

1422
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 2: quick knee jerk reaction on that?

1423
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 5: Felt like the firing was knee jerk, Like how do

1424
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 5: you fire a guy before the conference tournament?

1425
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 6: Like the season is not over yet.

1426
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 5: It's not like a Juwan Howard thing where they lose

1427
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 5: first round of the tournament. Get him out of here.

1428
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 5: But it just seemed like a little felt like the

1429
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 5: firing was knee jerk. Just get fire him after the

1430
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 5: whole thing is over with. And then you didn't, you

1431
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 5: know what, who knows, maybe you have another year because

1432
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 5: they won the tournament.

1433
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 2: But the audacity of this moron saying I believed it

1434
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 2: would fire up the team. I want to pat myself

1435
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 2: on the back. That's the part that got me. I

1436
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 2: just you know, shade go ahead.

1437
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 6: Martin definition of playing the results there, shay your thoughts.

1438
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought it was pretty wild. That's aw this

1439
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 8: story too. And I was a big long Beach fan

1440
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 8: because I used to watch them in volleyball and I

1441
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 8: would go to some of their basketball fans basketball games too,

1442
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 8: And seeing this was just absurd, especially with a team

1443
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 8: that I don't know, like they're not always making the tournament,

1444
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, So like you kind of

1445
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 8: just ruining your odds, losing the coach they're used to,

1446
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,719
Speaker 8: like like there you have no chance after like beating

1447
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 8: arias a team like Arizona especially, I mean this wasn't

1448
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 8: their best year, but it's like a team like Arizona,

1449
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 8: it's it's you're just you ruin all your shots. Like

1450
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 8: it just made zero sense to me. This ad shouldn't

1451
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 8: even be an ad anymore in my opinion, Like that

1452
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:33,520
Speaker 8: was just absurd.

1453
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 3: It was.

1454
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 8: It was insane.

1455
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 2: You know, there's an old saying, true greatness needs no

1456
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 2: self promotion. I don't know why forever people try to

1457
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 2: draw attention to themselves. And it's one thing if you've

1458
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 2: truly done something noble, fair enough, and you're insecure. I

1459
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 2: get it. Most people are insecure, we all are. But

1460
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 2: when you do something like this, this mundane, it really

1461
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 2: to me rises to a different level of stupidity, and

1462
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 2: it bothered me. Made my teethitch. Something else is starting

1463
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 2: to bother me a little. Well, the Otani gambling story

1464
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. That chop it up at the top

1465
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 2: of the hour. Keep it locked. You're listening to the

01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 2: over ten thousand recommending installers tirerac dot com. The way

1473
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 2: tire buying should be one of the strangest stories I

1474
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 2: can recall in all my years covering sports broke this

1475
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:46,440
Speaker 2: last week, even though the genesis goes back to October.

1476
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 2: So when news broke last week, that Chohe, Otani's interpreter,

1477
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,560
Speaker 2: apm's Ohara, had been accused of stealing four and a

1478
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 2: half million from Otani to pay down gambling debts with

1479
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 2: the California bookie. It became to me instantly maybe the

1480
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 2: most consequential sports story of the year, and it, frankly,

1481
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 2: at least for a day or two, overshadowed Mars Madness

1482
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 2: because what had happened is wire transfers had come to

1483
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 2: light because the FBI was already investigating a gentleman by

1484
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 2: the name of Matthew Boyer for running an illegal book

1485
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 2: making scheme in southern California. And we remember online gambling

1486
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 2: in sports betting is not legal in the state of California.

1487
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 2: So the La Times were alerted to the fact that

1488
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 2: Otani's name had surfaced in the investigations. In fact, that

1489
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 2: came to light that two five hundred thousand dollars payments

1490
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 2: had been wired directly from Otani's bank account to the

1491
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 2: aforementioned Matthew Boyer, the bookie. Now Tani just isn't any

1492
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,679
Speaker 2: ham and Egger. Here he used the face of baseball,

1493
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 2: perhaps the most recognizable athlete in all the sports right now,

1494
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 2: an international superstar, a two way phenomenon, just signed the

1495
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 2: record breaking seven hundred million dollar contract with the Dodgers. Now,

1496
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 2: when you first heard this, he said, Oh my goodness,

1497
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 2: was Otani the victim? Is he's just merely a victim

1498
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 2: of this crazy elaborate theft, then that would have been

1499
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 2: part of the TEMs zone, right, another big gossip item,

1500
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 2: another big sensational lives story that's kind of only a

1501
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 2: quasi sports story because he is an international baseball superstar

1502
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,600
Speaker 2: from one of the most iconic franchises in baseball and

1503
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 2: surely a team the Dodgers who have you know, have

1504
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 2: the white hot intensity of a thousand sons on them

1505
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 2: this year. But it's more than that, you see, because

1506
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: there have been several twists to the story. When the

1507
01:21:54,560 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 2: story started to be investigated Ozani, Atani's representatives old various

1508
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 2: journalists Tisher Thompson for instance, of ESPN give her credit. Apparently,

1509
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,879
Speaker 2: representatives told her that it was Missahara betting on sports

1510
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,719
Speaker 2: and Otani was simply transferring the money to cover his losses.

1511
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 2: Nicely tied marked. Then, Otani's team permitted Missahara to sit

1512
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 2: for this ninety minute interview on Tuesday, night, and that's

1513
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 2: what Misihara told ESPN that he started placing bets on

1514
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: credit with Boyer after meeting him at a San Diego

1515
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 2: poker game about three years ago. All of a sudden,

1516
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 2: he'd lost a million dollars by the year of twenty

1517
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 2: twenty two and everything started to explode from there. So

1518
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,639
Speaker 2: then here's my here comes to Maya coppol I'm terrible

1519
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 2: at gambling, never gonna do it again. Never wanted any money.

1520
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 2: I mean, dug myself a hole cap on getting bigger

1521
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 2: and bigger, and I had to get bigger bets to

1522
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 2: get out of it. Just kept on losing, you know,

1523
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:58,640
Speaker 2: like a snowball effect. Yeah, snowball effect. Okay, Well, Misahara

1524
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 2: claimed that he regularly on soccer, international soccer, basketball, and football,

1525
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 2: but not baseball. He said it was a line he

1526
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,759
Speaker 2: wouldn't cross since he had access to so much inside

1527
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 2: information as Otani's confidant. He spends basically every day with Otani,

1528
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: I think for the last several years. Uh. And so therefore,

1529
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 2: somewhere along the line, the story advances to the fact

1530
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: that after agreeing to cover all of Misahara's losses, O'tani

1531
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 2: thought the interpreter still might gamble the money away, so

1532
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 2: he logged down to his computer and sent it to

1533
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 2: Boyer himself. This is according to Missahara. Now, after that

1534
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 2: ninety minute interview that Otani's reps allowed Missahara to engage in,

1535
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 2: they seem to have changed their tune. And this is

1536
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 2: where the story starts to really take shape. For me.

1537
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 2: It's one thing if Bernie, you know, Bernie made off,

1538
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 2: stole money from you, But then you start changing your story.

1539
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 2: Otani's people now claim Otani was the victim of a

1540
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 2: massive thefts of its interpreter and that he never tried

1541
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: to cover the gambling losses. Now, if you're Major League Baseball,

1542
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,799
Speaker 2: you need this story. You need this attention like Madonna

1543
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 2: needs a new boyfriend. Okay, because it's only gonna get

1544
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 2: bigger from here. It can't not get bigger. How does

1545
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 2: it not get bigger? When every turn that is made

1546
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 2: there are new questions, Every answer raises new questions in

1547
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:47,839
Speaker 2: my view, because on the face of it, when Othani

1548
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 2: Otani's team claimed that he'd been the victim of a

1549
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 2: of a massive theft, and maybe maybe it's true. Okay,

1550
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 2: I'm not drawing any conclusions here. I'm just saying things

1551
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 2: aren't adding up exactly. On the face of it. It

1552
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 2: just doesn't seem to make sense. How would show the Otani,

1553
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 2: by all observations, a stellar individual not know his interpreter

1554
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 2: was wiring a million dollars from his own bank account?

1555
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 2: Did Otani give him power of attorney? Has that been reported?

1556
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 2: How hard is that to find out? How did Otani's

1557
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 2: bank account not alert him or did they? Banking institutions

1558
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 2: have very aggressive compliance procedures. They want to make sure

1559
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: that if large sums of cash or even smaller sums

1560
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 2: of cash are wired without the consent of the account holder,

1561
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 2: they want to prevent that at all costs. So it's hard.

1562
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 2: Is it not hard for you to imagine Otani himself

1563
01:25:55,640 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 2: didn't didn't approve the transfer in some former fashion? Oh no,

1564
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 2: he suck again. Look more likely is this Missahara's original explanation?

1565
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 2: He ran up huge debts, his friend Otani, who's got

1566
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 2: a lot of money, said okay, I'll bail you out,

1567
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 2: and that I think that story, which Jotani's team probably

1568
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,959
Speaker 2: thought would make this story go away until they realized

1569
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 2: that when the FBI is involved, this adds a new

1570
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 2: dimension to the ole thing. It means Atani had to

1571
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 2: knowingly send at least a million dollars directly from his

1572
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 2: bank account to a legal bookie. That puts you into

1573
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 2: the FBI's crosshairs, and they're there now. Major League Baseball

1574
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 2: has said Otani is not under investigation, but that line

1575
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't think will be sustainable for much longer. As

1576
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, i'm here reports that MLB will

1577
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 2: launch an investigation. If you're a Missahara, he could be

1578
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 2: facing a prison sentence. I don't know. This is all

1579
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 2: on the table. You can bet if you've watched a

1580
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 2: scene or two of Law and Order Prosecutors, Well, they'll

1581
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: be leading on him for some information. What will he

1582
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 2: be willing to tell him? I don't know. Now baseball

1583
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 2: players are not forbidden from betting on sports, but doing

1584
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,759
Speaker 2: so with an illegal offshore bookie that's against the rules.

1585
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 2: If you don't believe betting on baseball is a serious offense,

1586
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 2: just ask Pete Rose. He's been banned since nineteen eighty nine.

1587
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 2: And of course you can watch Ape Man Down Again

1588
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 2: with John Cusack for the fifteenth time. It gives the

1589
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 2: most accurate depiction of what happened with the Black Sox

1590
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 2: scandal in nineteen nineteen. Baseball's definitely afraid of this, and

1591
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 2: they should be not for now. For now, there is

1592
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 2: no evidence that mister Horror bet on baseball. But but

1593
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 2: here's the big but, peewee, what if he did? You

1594
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 2: know Craig Carton, who's he had quite a colorful career

1595
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 2: and is a very popular and controversial talk show host

1596
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 2: sports talk shows very successful by the way, did a

1597
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 2: little time. Craig Carton. He was a problem gambler like Misahara,

1598
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 2: he turned his life around, and he, I think alluded

1599
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 2: to the fact that I don't want to quote him,

1600
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to be wrong about this, but it's

1601
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 2: my understanding that Creig cart and someone alluded to the

1602
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 2: fact that it's not all the realm of possibility that

1603
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 2: if Missahara was facing a ton of losses, he might

1604
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 2: turn to the sport he knows best to try to

1605
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: cut into those losses. Now that's speculation, of course, but

1606
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 2: that's all we're left with here. Because his story keeps changing,

1607
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:45,799
Speaker 2: it's style an explanation, the explanations evolve, and the Ottini

1608
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 2: camp has invited all of these speculations. Another question that

1609
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 2: makes you scratch your head. Why would a bookie like

1610
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 2: Boyer extend so much credit to an interpreter who makes

1611
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 2: eighty five grand year. It's what I'm actually, that's not true.

1612
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 2: I understand he may have made three or four hundred

1613
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 2: grand a year, but not always that. That's a nice living.

1614
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't put you in, you know, Robin Leach is

1615
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 2: rich and famous category. Though. That's a very nice, handsome salary.

1616
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 2: It's not an extravagant salary that would make it so

1617
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,560
Speaker 2: you could fall into a gambling hole to get you

1618
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 2: five million in debt. Why in the hell would a

1619
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 2: bookie allow, over and over and over again to guy

1620
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,600
Speaker 2: to run up a debt like that. Misahara was not

1621
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 2: a multimillionaire professional athlete. He just happens to know one

1622
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 2: and be his right hand man sort of. By the way,

1623
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,679
Speaker 2: the timing of this, the timing of the name being released,

1624
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 2: why does my cynical side tell me that's not a coincidence.

1625
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 2: They break this story on opening night when the Dodgers

1626
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 2: are playing in Korea. The Potters and Dodgers with Otani

1627
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,719
Speaker 2: in tow. They have a two game series in Seoul,

1628
01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 2: first time a Major League games ever been played in

1629
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 2: South Korea. So look, the long and the short of

1630
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 2: it is that this is an evolving story that's not

1631
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 2: adding up to me. And a little bit later, I'm

1632
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 2: gonna have I have three or four very pointed questions

1633
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 2: that I'm gonna ask. I'll ask to be you know,

1634
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take calls down her anything you want

1635
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 2: to tweet at me, at Bernie Fratto, at Fox Sports Radio,

1636
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 2: Rob Banford, the Commissioner of Baseball. I'm sure he really

1637
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 2: doesn't he you know, he'd rather light his hair on

1638
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 2: fire and put it out with a tack hammer than

1639
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 2: deal with this. All right, This isn't Bart Giamatti back

1640
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:33,680
Speaker 2: in Pete Rose in nineteen eighty nine. It wasn't a

1641
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 2: hard decision. Pete. His playing career is over. He'd been obstinate,

1642
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 2: and he is a manager. He was pretty much done

1643
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 2: being a manager and his ship had sailed in Major

1644
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 2: League Baseball. So you know, he was recalcitrant and he

1645
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:50,519
Speaker 2: was banned for life. I think he could have worked

1646
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 2: it out, but he wasn't. But Otani's a twenty nine

1647
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:56,719
Speaker 2: year old generational superstar who's got his whole career ahead

1648
01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 2: of him. And the good thing about it, does Otani,

1649
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 2: you know, has every resource imaginable to even as a

1650
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 2: victim of theft, to have prevented this. I don't get

1651
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 2: it without his knowledge is consent? How do you wire

1652
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 2: at least a million dollars out of a bank without

1653
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 2: the institution where Otani Bank's checking with him? It's it's

1654
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 2: how is it? If it's possible, please let me know how?

1655
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,519
Speaker 2: Okay now, because the story has changed two or three

1656
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 2: times already, and you want to call it a scandal,

1657
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:28,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell you want to call it.

1658
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 2: Call it whatever you want. It's paying the ass I

1659
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 2: guess for a lot of people who rather this didn't happen.

1660
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 2: But if it continues to take these odd ball turns

1661
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:38,760
Speaker 2: and Otani ends up more in the cross ears, and

1662
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not predicting that. I'm not advocate,

1663
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 2: I am not implying that, then people start to advance,

1664
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:50,440
Speaker 2: you know, thought patterns. What happens? Does ATONI get suspended?

1665
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 9: Uh?

1666
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 2: If that were to happen, does there become this greater

1667
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:59,640
Speaker 2: reckoning with sports betting in America? Because we got what

1668
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 2: we want on it and for the most part it

1669
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 2: goes pretty smoothly. And there are organizations I like my

1670
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 2: buddy Matt Holt with US Integrity that police these things.

1671
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 2: But you can't be everywhere every time, and you know,

1672
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 2: you have a situation. California is a bit of an

1673
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:18,679
Speaker 2: outlier states like New York, they have a legalized gambling

1674
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 2: and all the professional leagues, including baseball, they heavily promote

1675
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 2: sports betting. They heavily promote mobile sports betting. See to

1676
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 2: see how this story gets goofier and goofier. You know,

1677
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,719
Speaker 2: people have been predicting, I don't know that there would

1678
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 2: be a major gambling scandal somewhere. Is this it? I'm

1679
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 2: not saying it is. What I am saying is the

1680
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 2: more that information is released, the more that questions are

1681
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 2: asked more than being answered. I guess what I'm getting

1682
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 2: at is when certain questions are seemingly answered, it merely

1683
01:32:56,360 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 2: seems to open the door to ask new ones. We

1684
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 2: are nowhere near what I believe is the final DAMI

1685
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 2: mall in terms of what really happened here and what

1686
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 2: is the end game here coming up? I'm gonna have

1687
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 2: five big questions now that Major League Baseball's investigation I

1688
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 2: believe is gonna be underway. I'm gonna have five questions.

1689
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 2: But before we do that, I want to bring in

1690
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,560
Speaker 2: the crew. I want to have Martin, I want to

1691
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 2: have Shane, I want to have Mark Ramsey wigh in

1692
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 2: on their thoughts. They're all there in Los Angeles. This

1693
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 2: is a big story. Don't act like it's not. I'm

1694
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradderwick Kevity live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

1695
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 2: Tarat dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to

1696
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

1697
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 2: back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy

1698
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,560
Speaker 2: Live from the tarat dot Com Studios, here in a

1699
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Top of the hour. What kind of brand

1700
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 2: new food? You followed by what my name? All right,

1701
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 2: let's reset the topic. Otani spokesman and Msahara first told

1702
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 2: one story, but I'll had helped payoff Mazahara's massive debts

1703
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 2: sports betting debts. Then they switched their story to a

1704
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 2: different story that completely contradicted the first story, that Otani

1705
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 2: had no knowledge of the debts and hadn't transferred the funds.

1706
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:20,720
Speaker 2: And that's where the story is now, Martin Weiss, what

1707
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 2: are your thoughts in this whole matter? Where the hell

1708
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 2: is this thing headed? H?

1709
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 6: I think it's headed.

1710
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 5: I mean the reality is all these First of all,

1711
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 5: oh Toni's interpreted that's some type of stupid because you

1712
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 5: gotta know, like that they're spending this, Like he didn't

1713
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 5: know that betting with the bookie is illegal. Like you

1714
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 5: gotta know that's illegal, especially if you already are using

1715
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 5: DraftKings and FanDuel and all these other legal books to

1716
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 5: go ahead and use it.

1717
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 6: Don't you think it's a little bit.

1718
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 5: Different when you sign in to bet with me dot

1719
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 5: ag on your phone instead of FanDuel dot com.

1720
01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

1721
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 5: And Also, I'm not buying that that somebody is giving

1722
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 5: somebody else millions of dollars on the arm without having

1723
01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 5: some level of explanation behind it. That one is tough

1724
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 5: pill to swallow for me. I'm not loan at twenty

1725
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 5: bucks without knowing if I'm getting it back and what

1726
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 5: it's for. So I know Otani has got seven hundred

1727
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 5: million coming his way, but still even everyone's to loan

1728
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,280
Speaker 5: me two million under the seven hundred, I would expect

1729
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 5: that he would know where it's headed.

1730
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 2: Damn, the most thing I've ever gotten on the arms

1731
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 2: that played the nachos man, much less four four million dollars.

1732
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:36,799
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, Uh, here's where this might be headed, Martin.

1733
01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:40,560
Speaker 2: And I'm not predicting this, and I'm not implying this.

1734
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,719
Speaker 2: Could it have been Otani the one making the bats

1735
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,040
Speaker 2: through Misahara, I'm just asking.

1736
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,160
Speaker 5: I think that's I think that's probably the more one

1737
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 5: of the more plausible, uh ways you can square this

1738
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 5: circle is that Otani is a guy with the issue,

1739
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 5: and we're seeing I have a fall guy scenario here

1740
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 5: with the interpreter knowing that hey man, just handle this

1741
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,719
Speaker 5: form a real quick and just I got seven hundred

1742
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:08,680
Speaker 5: million coming my way.

1743
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 6: I'll take care of you on the back end.

1744
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 5: That sounds more plausible than almost all the other Well,

1745
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:15,680
Speaker 5: first of all, the story in general doesn't make any

1746
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 5: sense because this guy like eight different legs and none

1747
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 5: of them are standing on two feet.

1748
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

1749
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that makes more sense than anything else.

1750
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 2: I feel like someone's peeing out of my shoots and

1751
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 2: telling me it's raining. Okay, it doesn't feel right, And

1752
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 2: I catch no dispersions on Shohio Tani. I'm just doing

1753
01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 2: a fricking radio show here so we can all get

1754
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 2: through life and have a little fun on a Saturday

1755
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 2: night Sunday morning. But when the IRS is involved, the

1756
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:45,040
Speaker 2: FBI is involved, people have to understand. This was an

1757
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 2: investigation over this Bookie ring In Souner, California and other

1758
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,679
Speaker 2: names have been released, but the public hasn't paid attention

1759
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:56,760
Speaker 2: because they aren't prominent names or household names. But Otani's

1760
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 2: name popped up out of it. That's am a sting.

1761
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 2: Uh Shaye Morgan, guard your thoughts on this matter.

1762
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 8: He did nothing. No, I'm kidding as a Dodger fan.

1763
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 8: It's it's I think both of the Japanese stars, which

1764
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 8: is crazy. I was so happy a month ago because

1765
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 8: of them, and now they're it's just making me nervous,

1766
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. You guys just brought it

1767
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 8: up like could show hey be the one placing the

1768
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:22,639
Speaker 8: bets and that's to me worst case scenario if that's

1769
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 8: the case. I mean, I I again like it's it's

1770
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,680
Speaker 8: I'm nervous, you know what I mean, And it's I

1771
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 8: really don't know why or how it could be the interpreter,

1772
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 8: because to be honest, I just it just it makes

1773
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 8: me nervous, man. I just I as a Dodger fan,

1774
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 8: I don't want to talk about it, like I don't

1775
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 8: want to hear about it, like me and my friends don't.

1776
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 9: You know.

1777
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 2: You know, Shane, what's interesting just came up with my

1778
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 2: Friday show. It's it's hardly the Dodger's fault because these

1779
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:59,599
Speaker 2: allegations are are dating back to October and before when

1780
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 2: he was still property the Angels.

1781
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 8: It's it's not their fault at all. It's it's it's

1782
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,720
Speaker 8: exactly it's it seems like it was they waited to

1783
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 8: say this at the perfect moment, like you said it yourself.

1784
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 8: It was the night where they have a game in

1785
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:14,679
Speaker 8: Korea where they've never had a game, and it's it's

1786
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 8: this huge star that's it's close to home, you know

1787
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 8: what I mean.

1788
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 2: And it's well, if you want to sell newspapers and here,

1789
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:22,840
Speaker 2: I don't mean to be cynical, but I'm gonna be.

1790
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:28,680
Speaker 2: This investigation's going along. The highly respected reporters had been

1791
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 2: tipped off by law enforcement. Hey we're gonna throw your bone, man,

1792
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:34,679
Speaker 2: you want this, Yeah, what's going on? And they wait,

1793
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:38,760
Speaker 2: you think the timing that O'tie's name was released coinciding

1794
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers Planet Corey. You think it's a coincidence.

1795
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 8: I don't think it's a coincidence at all. And and

1796
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 8: to be honest, I don't even if Shohey ends up

1797
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 8: being the guy, you know, the one that's placing the bets,

1798
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 8: do we really think the MLB is gonna do anything? Like, yes,

1799
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:57,800
Speaker 8: they're going to investigate it.

1800
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 2: I guess that's the real elephant in the room here.

1801
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 8: But it's this guy brings so much money. He's the

1802
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 8: reason why so many people are watching it. MLB needed

1803
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 8: this resurgence. I remember a year ago today we were

1804
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 8: talking about MLB's viewership is down, no one's no one's

1805
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:15,720
Speaker 8: watching the MLB anymore. They have to change the pitchclock

1806
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 8: to make it faster so people are more inclined to

1807
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 8: watch it. So it's like the one thing that is

1808
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,680
Speaker 8: making them huge right now is also the one thing

1809
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 8: that might not even be playing because of all this.

1810
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 8: So it's like, I don't ever because I'm a Dodger

1811
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 8: fan and because I see that happening, and I'm like, oh,

1812
01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 8: like the MLB might not even do anything. Like in

1813
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 8: the back of my head, I feel fine, Like I'm like, oh,

1814
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 8: like even if he did do something, like I think

1815
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 8: it's gonna be okay, They're gonna throw it under the rug,

1816
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 8: like it really doesn't matter. But in the end, it's

1817
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 8: I'm very nervous. I'm not happy about it at all,

1818
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 8: and it's just a situation that I wish we didn't

1819
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 8: have to deal with, especially with Yamamoto not doing too

1820
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 8: great either. It's like I get it, like he's it's

1821
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 8: just as a Dodger fan a month ago, we were

1822
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 8: so high and now were so low, and I don't know.

1823
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 8: It just it doesn't make me happy.

1824
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 2: It's uncomfortable. Mark Ramsay, you brought up a great, great

1825
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 2: point last night.

1826
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:11,759
Speaker 10: You remember right about it being like a big magnet

1827
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 10: and it's all drawing back towards Otani exactly. But I

1828
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 10: just thought now that as this investigation is starting and continues,

1829
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 10: I'm guessing the Dodgers are hoping that the investigation goes

1830
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 10: back to Anaheim so that the blame would be taken

1831
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 10: off of them for the beginning of this about who

1832
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 10: knew about it first, and this was behavior that happened

1833
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 10: way before they got to the Dodgers. And so it

1834
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 10: could take some of the pressure off off of the

1835
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 10: Blue and move it somewhere else so that the Dodgers

1836
01:40:49,479 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 10: don't have to take on the full weight of the

1837
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 10: potential problem of breaking everybody's hearts in baseball because their

1838
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 10: brand new golden boy is going to be in big trouble.

1839
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 10: Let's just say that investigation trouble.

1840
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 2: Right, and to deal with it here and now. And

1841
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody finds any culpability to the Dodgers

1842
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:10,639
Speaker 2: based on what we know. I don't know how they could.

1843
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 2: But to your point, it's almost, for lack of a

1844
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 2: better tried phraseology, maybe perhaps his guilt by association, which

1845
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 2: is frankly totally unfair. Broadly, I mean, let's put it

1846
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 2: this way, there are three conceivable possibilities. Otani knew what

1847
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 2: was going on and did nothing. Number two, the interpreter

1848
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 2: orchestrated everything, and Otani wasn't the better, but he didn't

1849
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 2: knowingly send the money to pay off his friend's debts.

1850
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 2: Or and I clear my throat before I say this,

1851
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 2: perhaps it's not on the Roman possibility Otani places the

1852
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 2: bets himself, in which case Misahara is a fall guy.

1853
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:53,240
Speaker 2: Either a willing fall guy or otherwise. But each explanation

1854
01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 2: carries different consequences. I have some questions I'll share with

1855
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 2: them coming up. But first you go back to our man, Hey,

1856
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 2: back to reality. There goes gravity. He opens his mouth

1857
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,120
Speaker 2: and the words come out. It's our good man. Martin

1858
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 2: Weiss with the latest.

1859
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 5: Well, Juwan Howard got a dos to reality just a

1860
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 5: few days ago when he was fired after the University

1861
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 5: of Michigan basketball team had a terrible showing and what

1862
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:23,759
Speaker 5: was eventually his last year as the head coach. Florida

1863
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:26,439
Speaker 5: Atlantic lost in the first round of the tournament. But

1864
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,719
Speaker 5: Dufty may, former head coach there, he won't be returning.

1865
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 5: He'll be the new head coach in and Arbor for

1866
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 5: the University of Michigan. Florida Atlantic is one of the

1867
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 5: best teams in college basketball over the last two seasons, obviously,

1868
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,759
Speaker 5: with the final four birth and one of three teams

1869
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:43,280
Speaker 5: to win sixty games over the last two seasons. Only

1870
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:45,679
Speaker 5: Yukon and Houston have matched that, both of them number

1871
01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:48,720
Speaker 5: one seeds and this year's March Madness, so hopefully we'll

1872
01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:53,600
Speaker 5: see better days in an arbor. Speaking of college basketball

1873
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 5: and Michigan basketball, University of Oakland University, I should say

1874
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 5: not University of Oakland, Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan lost

1875
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 5: today to NC State seventy nine to seventy three.

1876
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:07,880
Speaker 6: Of course that was yesterday.

1877
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:10,679
Speaker 5: DJ Burns with a double double with twenty four points

1878
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:15,040
Speaker 5: and eleven rebounds. Gonzaga handled Kansas eighty nine to sixty eight,

1879
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 5: and it was just not close for Kansas. They were

1880
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 5: missing Kevin McCullers, their starter, and Hunter Dickinson was nicked up.

1881
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 5: But Bill self was just like, yeah, we didn't have

1882
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 5: it today. Creighton and Oregon went to double overtime, with

1883
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays eventually winning by thirteen points. In that

1884
01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:36,000
Speaker 5: second overtime, Stanza Ryan Kalchbrenner with the line that you

1885
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 5: will not see that often nineteen points, fourteen rebounds, five blocks.

1886
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 5: Terrence Shannon had thirty points as Illinois dispatched Duke Caine

1887
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 5: eighty nine to sixty three to all to connect with

1888
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:49,559
Speaker 5: eighteen to nine as Tennessee you know, at one point

1889
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 5: was three for twenty five from three, but still got

1890
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 5: the win over Texas sixty two to fifty eight. I

1891
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:57,519
Speaker 5: with sdate beat Washington State sixty seven to fifty six,

1892
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:01,599
Speaker 5: Arizona took care of date seventy eight to sixty eight,

1893
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:05,639
Speaker 5: and North Carolina, the number one seed in the West,

1894
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 5: goes ahead and just and sends Michigan State back to

1895
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:12,479
Speaker 5: East Lansing eighty five to sixty nine. In the NBA,

1896
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 5: the Nets in the Knicks, a battle of the New

1897
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 5: York teams. Nicks victorious in this one, one oh five

1898
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,719
Speaker 5: to sixty one, O five to ninety three. I'm sorry,

1899
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 5: Dante deven Jenjo with six rebounds thirty one points to

1900
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 5: go ahead and give them the Knicks to win. Kings

1901
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 5: and the Magic Kings win one oh nine to one

1902
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:33,679
Speaker 5: oh seven, So bonus one fourteen and eight on nearly

1903
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 5: a triple double. Hawks beat the Hornets by forty points.

1904
01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 5: Hornets just comple I mean, we have teams with worst

1905
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,799
Speaker 5: records like the Wizards and the Spurs, but the Hornets

1906
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 5: just to me seemed the most unserious team in all

1907
01:44:45,960 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 5: of professional basketball. The Wizards, in fact, gotta win tonight

1908
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:52,519
Speaker 5: over the Raptors UH one twelve to one oh nine.

1909
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 6: That's the wizards thirteenth win on the year.

1910
01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 5: Celtics and the Bulls Boston victorious one twenty four to

1911
01:44:58,320 --> 01:44:59,640
Speaker 5: one thirteen.

1912
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 6: Jazz and the Rockets.

1913
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 5: Rockets the hottest team in the NBA right now, putting

1914
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 5: a lot of pressure there on Golden State and Los

1915
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 5: Angeles Lakers for that last spot in the playing tournament.

1916
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:10,560
Speaker 5: Jalen Green had forty one points on the way to

1917
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 5: a one forty seven to one nineteen victory over the

1918
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 5: Utah Jazz. Devin Booker had thirty two point seven rebounds,

1919
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,600
Speaker 5: nine assists and a one thirty one to one oh

1920
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 5: six win over the Spurs. Victor win Binyama had thirteen

1921
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 5: paltry points and the Nuggets without two. They're two stars,

1922
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 5: about to say two All stars, but Jamal Murray has

1923
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 5: never made an All Star game.

1924
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 6: He didn't play. Nicolea Jokic also didn't play.

1925
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 5: It didn't matter too much in the win column there

1926
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 5: as the Nuggets hold off the Trailblazers one fourteen two

1927
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 5: one eleven.

1928
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 6: Bernie, back to.

1929
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 2: You, all right, thanks Martin. So these are the questions

1930
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 2: I have coming out of the situation that we've been

1931
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,799
Speaker 2: talking about. One, we're any bets placed on baseball. Frankly,

1932
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 2: we all know nothing matters more than this if, and

1933
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 2: it's a big if, and I'm not implying it, but

1934
01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 2: it's part of the conversation. If the answer is yes,

1935
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:05,280
Speaker 2: there are some serrenarios where Otani could potentially face some

1936
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 2: stiff discipline. Anything could be on the table, but I

1937
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 2: don't want to go down that road. If the answers know,

1938
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:16,760
Speaker 2: then the worst case scenario goes away. All right, but

1939
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 2: don't remind yourself. All right, Major League Rule twenty one,

1940
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 2: which lays out the penalties for players, umpires, and frankly

1941
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:29,679
Speaker 2: anybody associated with baseball teams, league officials employees, you cannot

1942
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:33,240
Speaker 2: play some proper bets. Rule twenty one d Section one

1943
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:35,240
Speaker 2: states to players and employers who bet on a game

1944
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,840
Speaker 2: in which they aren't involved, well they face the one

1945
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 2: near suspension. But level two that rule ones that those

1946
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:42,599
Speaker 2: who bet on the game which they are involved could

1947
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 2: be banned permanently. I bet you've heard of Pete Rose

1948
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:47,880
Speaker 2: and shoeless Joe Jackson. We are not implying that that

1949
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:51,479
Speaker 2: happen here, but any bets with Boyer could have been anything,

1950
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 2: because sports betting is illegal in California. And the truth

1951
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 2: of the matter is, while baseball would be the you know,

1952
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 2: the hell on Earth situation for those involved, all of

1953
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,840
Speaker 2: This looks crazy, but the one question that's going to

1954
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 2: be asked, and I'm sure Rob Manford's gonna have to

1955
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:15,120
Speaker 2: know the answer. And if there's any evidence, if either

1956
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:18,200
Speaker 2: miser Hower or a Toani bet on baseball, then the

1957
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,519
Speaker 2: facts and circumstances start to become a lot more serious

1958
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 2: about this whole story. Speaking of stories, my next question

1959
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 2: is what the hell's with the differing stories that contradict

1960
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,479
Speaker 2: each other. The strangest aspect of this whole report that

1961
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 2: we've been talking about now for six days, is this

1962
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 2: about face this change of heart between Misihara and Otani

1963
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 2: spokesman between Tuesday and Wednesday. Remember both of them sat

1964
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 2: On Tuesday, Otani made payments to settle his debt. According

1965
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 2: to the timeline published Friday at ESPN. There was a

1966
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 2: timeline said basically, Otani said, yeah, I sent several large payments.

1967
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:01,880
Speaker 2: That's the maximum amount I could send. Quote mister Horr

1968
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 2: corroborated that, saying I explained my situation. Obviously Otani wasn't

1969
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 2: happy about it, but he said he would help me. Missi.

1970
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 2: Horror also said that Otani didn't know or ask about

1971
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,840
Speaker 2: the legality of the payments, and either of us thought

1972
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 2: about that at the time of all. Okay, now they

1973
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: wake up on Wednesday and both Misihara and the spokesman

1974
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,920
Speaker 2: disavowed those previous statements. The spokesman said, no, the interpreter

1975
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 2: was lying show he didn't know what the hell happened here. Okay, well,

1976
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:34,559
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's against the law to wire money

1977
01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:37,600
Speaker 2: to an illegal book making operation, even if you're just

1978
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,960
Speaker 2: doing a solid for your buddy, and even if you're

1979
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 2: not placing best for yourself. Now, I'm sure lawyers have

1980
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 2: pointed out that if you cop to that crime, you're

1981
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 2: putting yourself at risk, and all of a sudden, now

1982
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 2: you are at the mercy of authorities. If this is

1983
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 2: what happened, other aspects still wouldn't that up? Why would

1984
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 2: Otani turn on his bef so quickly? Why would is

1985
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,160
Speaker 2: the horror go along with this dude that painted him

1986
01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 2: or the story that painted him with a guy with

1987
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 2: a gambling problem and only places the illegal bets, And

1988
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden this changed to someone stole

1989
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:16,720
Speaker 2: millions and dollars to cover the result. This is I

1990
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:18,719
Speaker 2: keep I know, I keep beating the same dead horse.

1991
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,600
Speaker 2: But when you change the story and it completely contradicts

1992
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 2: the other story. This is where this thing took off

1993
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 2: like a rocket. It just it just simply did. And

1994
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, it's hard to believe that isah horror acted alone.

1995
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 2: That theory because of the size of his debt. Again,

1996
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 2: why would a bookie allow someone of his ilk, with

1997
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 2: all due respect, who maybe was making let's say four

1998
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:43,880
Speaker 2: or five hundred grand a year to rack up, you know,

1999
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 2: ten times at in debt. I don't believe any bookie

2000
01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 2: would have, you know, would have allowed that kind of

2001
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 2: credit to be extended four and a half million, right,

2002
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 2: I don't know he did. There's one theory that that

2003
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 2: basically Bauer knew that the interpreter was Atani's best friend,

2004
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:11,679
Speaker 2: so he was more generous, or he was more lenient,

2005
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 2: or gave him bigger credit line, they extended his credit line,

2006
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:17,679
Speaker 2: or maybe they made periodic payments and so the credit

2007
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:20,560
Speaker 2: line went down. We don't know any of this. We

2008
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:23,760
Speaker 2: don't know. It just keeps changing it, she just keeps

2009
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:26,799
Speaker 2: getting messy. The reality is messy. We don't know the truth.

2010
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 2: And here, you know, look, here's the next question that

2011
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:38,760
Speaker 2: really is should be on everybody's mind. God forbid, Otani

2012
01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,719
Speaker 2: is more involved than we want to believe. And again

2013
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 2: for the seventy four fourth time. I'm not implying that

2014
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 2: he is. But what will Rob Manfred major League Baseball do.

2015
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 2: Would they potentially give Atoni preferential treatment? I don't know

2016
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:55,680
Speaker 2: how they could if they want to maintain the credibility

2017
01:50:56,439 --> 01:51:00,679
Speaker 2: and you know, not getting in the what I would

2018
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 2: say that the the you know, bringing on the ill

2019
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,439
Speaker 2: effects of the public court of public opinion and people

2020
01:51:06,479 --> 01:51:09,400
Speaker 2: who watch baseball. Well, Tony is the biggest thing to

2021
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 2: happen to baseball in twenty five years more maybe longer

2022
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:14,920
Speaker 2: than that. He's just a unique unicorn. Everything about him

2023
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 2: is special and you know, but do you treat him

2024
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:26,560
Speaker 2: the same off the field as anybody else? Are you

2025
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:27,280
Speaker 2: supposed to do that?

2026
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 11: You know?

2027
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,960
Speaker 2: Back in twenty fifteen, the Florida Marlins had a picture

2028
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,559
Speaker 2: named Jared Cozart. He was a founder of placed illegal

2029
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 2: non baseball bets. Rob manfran fined him and moved on,

2030
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 2: and everybody forgot about it until you started searching for

2031
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:48,599
Speaker 2: precedence when the Atoni story broke out. So the truth

2032
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 2: of the matter is, if A Tony did anything worse

2033
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:54,479
Speaker 2: than colos Art, he probably wouldn't suffer a harsher fate. However,

2034
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:57,720
Speaker 2: there's going to be a price to pay if there's

2035
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 2: any any appearance of faith favoritism whatsoever. So this is

2036
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 2: a handful for Major League Baseball. The next question will

2037
01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:11,880
Speaker 2: this do we want to characterize this as a scandal?

2038
01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:13,560
Speaker 2: What do we really want to call this just for

2039
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,840
Speaker 2: the hell of it, just for the just for the

2040
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 2: purposes of this conversation, it's called a scandal. Will this

2041
01:52:22,200 --> 01:52:28,879
Speaker 2: scandal provide an impetus for the sports world to engage

2042
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 2: in a sports gambling reckoning? And the answers, No, I

2043
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 2: do not believe so. Sports leagues have been in bed

2044
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 2: with sports books for years now, and they're getting closer

2045
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:42,439
Speaker 2: and closer by the day. And unless somebodies truly have

2046
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,840
Speaker 2: been found to bet on baseball, which we must stress

2047
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,519
Speaker 2: has not been alleged, I don't think this morphs into

2048
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 2: it this scandal that's going to force this serious reflection. Okay, ironically,

2049
01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:59,840
Speaker 2: March's Problem Gambling Awareness Month. There's one other question that's

2050
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 2: earning more than all the other questions combined, and I'm

2051
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 2: doing get to it coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle come

2066
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 2: by heading to your local Tractors Supply store today. The

2067
01:53:57,479 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 2: one question that's burnie a hole in my brain is

2068
01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:04,880
Speaker 2: when the hell are were really going to get some

2069
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:08,160
Speaker 2: real answers? And it ain't going to be anytime soon

2070
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 2: because Major League Baseball is going to try to arrange

2071
01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 2: interviews with all relevant parties. But there's a curveball here

2072
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 2: now because Shoheo Tani's interpreter really doesn't have to talk

2073
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:23,479
Speaker 2: to anybody unless he's compelled by subpoena if it gets

2074
01:54:23,479 --> 01:54:26,680
Speaker 2: to that point. Now, Major League Baseball, while he was

2075
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:29,559
Speaker 2: still employed by the Dodgers, could have talked to him

2076
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 2: last week in Korea. Seemed really eager to talk to him.

2077
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 2: Everybody then talked for ninety minutes, but Major League Baseball

2078
01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 2: didn't take advantage of that. In fact, while we're along

2079
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 2: those same lines, Shoheo Tani too could decline to cooperate.

2080
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 2: That is a right he has as a member of

2081
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:50,800
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball Players Association, or he could invoke

2082
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:54,200
Speaker 2: his right under an interpretation of an arbitration president. He

2083
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:58,240
Speaker 2: can refuse to cooperate because if there's a criminal investigation

2084
01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 2: already underway, even though he he at this time is

2085
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 2: not known to be the subject of any criminal investigation

2086
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 2: and I have I am making no prediction that he's

2087
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:13,400
Speaker 2: going to be targeted. You know, if you recall, Major

2088
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:17,040
Speaker 2: League Baseball had a paid administrative leaf policy. That's what

2089
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 2: happened with Trevor Bauer and Julio Urius when they were

2090
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:25,120
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers. But it only applies to players who

2091
01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 2: are being investigated for violations of joint domestic violence or

2092
01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 2: sexual assault or child abuse. Well, Tommy's nowhere near being

2093
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 2: accused of any of that, boloney, okay, And we're not

2094
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 2: even anywhere near about betting on baseball. But as I said,

2095
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 2: the biggest question I have is when are we gonna

2096
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 2: get answers? Now, do I think Otani's going to be

2097
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 2: a member of the Dodgers on the active roster all season? Yes,

2098
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 2: I do. I believe he'll be an active member or

2099
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 2: a member. He will stay on the active roster, He'll

2100
01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 2: play the entire season. I truly believe that it may

2101
01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 2: look feel weird, whatever the case may be. The Dodgers

2102
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 2: have now, in fact, released you know, the typical run

2103
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 2: of the mill, garden variety boilerplate, you know, garden variety

2104
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 2: statement quote. We're not going to talk about a team,

2105
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 2: President stancast and said he declined to comment. There's nothing

2106
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:15,360
Speaker 2: to say, literally, nothing to say in a quote. Fair enough,

2107
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 2: that's so right, by the way. Later on today Sunday,

2108
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:21,560
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will play an exhibition game in Arizona, and

2109
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 2: the real season resumes this Thursday. Now, the Dodgers are

2110
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:29,280
Speaker 2: back on American soil. They are not six thousand miles away.

2111
01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:30,680
Speaker 2: And I got to believe they're going to be approach

2112
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 2: by reporters. They may or may not want to talk,

2113
01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 2: and they may or not be able to talk. I

2114
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 2: don't know. And the public's gonna have to be very

2115
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:40,320
Speaker 2: patient because even the wheels of justice they turned very slow.

2116
01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is, we may get

2117
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:44,520
Speaker 2: to us.

2118
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:45,760
Speaker 9: You have to.

2119
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:47,920
Speaker 8: You have to.

2120
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 2: Accept the possibility we may never know what happens here.

2121
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:55,720
Speaker 2: They could just go away, This story could go away, right,

2122
01:56:56,880 --> 01:56:59,720
Speaker 2: The main thing is up till now. Well TONI everything

2123
01:56:59,720 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 2: about magical Bliss, the way he plays, the way he acts.

2124
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 2: People lost their minds when they found out he got married.

2125
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 2: That was like a big news story. Or they found

2126
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 2: out the name of his dog. But in Japan, Otani

2127
01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 2: is known as cool, the perfect person. And the truth

2128
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 2: of the matter is, it's crazy how in this world,

2129
01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 2: and certainly in America, we elevate people to their highest

2130
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:24,560
Speaker 2: level of plateau only to tear them down. We do

2131
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:27,080
Speaker 2: it with presidents, We do it with actress and actresses,

2132
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 2: we do it with luminaries, We do it with public people.

2133
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 2: That's what we do. Is Otani next? Could his celebrity backfire?

2134
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 2: Could be he be a victim of his own success.

2135
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson was not comparing the two. Don't do that,

2136
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:43,160
Speaker 2: don't selectually listen. Okay, he's twenty nine years old, he's

2137
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 2: had surgeries. Everybody loves and wants to see him play.

2138
01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:48,760
Speaker 2: But we want answers to this story. We may never

2139
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 2: get them. Something is he adding up? And you heard

2140

Speaker 2: me say why? And we're going to continue to watch

2141

01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by

2156
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 2: As Jogi bar once said, you can observe a lot

2157
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 2: by watching, and we watch that and around America from

2158
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 2: Seed to Oily Sa, people do things, not just around America,

2159
01:58:56,720 --> 01:58:59,560
Speaker 2: around the world, and they engage in behaviors that are

2160
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:03,240
Speaker 2: sometimes odd and idiosyncratic and weird. Sometimes those behaviors are

2161
01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 2: very well, they're very binocuous, they're just stupid and sully.

2162
01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:09,320
Speaker 2: The other times they are far more serious, and oftentimes

2163
01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:11,600
Speaker 2: they're criminals that they land you in jail. But any

2164
01:59:11,680 --> 01:59:15,879
Speaker 2: way you slice it, any way you characterize it, anyway

2165
01:59:15,920 --> 01:59:19,320
Speaker 2: you describe it, they always leave us scratching our head

2166
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 2: and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new fool of you? Yeah,

2167
01:59:32,400 --> 01:59:35,080
Speaker 2: this one's kind of a doozy. Here a few moving parts.

2168
01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 2: We take you to Phoenix, Arizona, and we introduce you

2169
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:46,560
Speaker 2: to Eugene Shelton, a sixty eight year old gentleman who

2170
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:50,879
Speaker 2: you know, just kind of happened to be meandering around

2171
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 2: a random Phoenix neighborhood we decided to break into a

2172
01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:00,120
Speaker 2: house in the middle of the day that he was

2173
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 2: occupied by several children, ages nine to seventeen. But here's

2174
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:10,120
Speaker 2: where the story gets weird and even weirder. You see,

2175
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Eugene Shelton wasn't just wandering around the neighborhood. He was

2176
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 2: wandering around their neighborhood in the middle of the day,

2177
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 2: in front of God everybody, completely naked, well, he had

2178
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:26,840
Speaker 2: socks on. But he tried to break into the house.

2179
02:00:26,920 --> 02:00:30,680
Speaker 2: And these young children, five of them, told police they

2180
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:33,320
Speaker 2: tried to keep Shelton from coming in. One of the

2181
02:00:33,360 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 2: young kids actually hit the suspect hand with an iron,

2182
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:40,840
Speaker 2: but well, mister Shelton kept pushing on the door until

2183
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:43,480
Speaker 2: he finally overpowered the kids. The kids were able to

2184
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:46,000
Speaker 2: call one of the father or call the father, who

2185
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 2: showed up quickly. The father was nearby, and the kids

2186
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 2: called and the father came home to find the suspect,

2187
02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:54,840
Speaker 2: mister Eugene Shelton, sitting on the couch in the living

2188
02:00:54,920 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 2: room wearing only socks. Well, after his arrest, well, they

2189
02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:03,960
Speaker 2: called the police. Of course. After his arrest, to police

2190
02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:07,839
Speaker 2: recovered Shelton's boxers and a fanny pack that was outside

2191
02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:11,640
Speaker 2: the home, not far from the front door, and of course,

2192
02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:15,520
Speaker 2: inside the fanny pack, officers found two blue pills marked

2193
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 2: M thirty and dork. Per court documents, Shelton told police

2194
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:26,360
Speaker 2: they'd actually smoked meth and phetamine before breaking into the house. Now,

2195
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:29,120
Speaker 2: why the hell did he break into the house? This

2196
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:33,200
Speaker 2: is the beauty. There's always a punchline in what kind

2197
02:01:33,200 --> 02:01:37,360
Speaker 2: of brand newfool you? During the interview with investigators, Shelton

2198
02:01:37,920 --> 02:01:42,440
Speaker 2: told police that he broke into the house because he

2199
02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:47,480
Speaker 2: was being chased by an alligator. Are there alligators in Arizona?

2200
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 2: And would they chase mister Shelton. He went on to

2201
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:53,120
Speaker 2: say he took his clothes off while being chased because

2202
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 2: he didn't want the alligator biting his clothes. Oh my goodness,

2203
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:02,839
Speaker 2: mister Shelton was into Americopa County Jail on charges including burglary,

2204
02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:07,120
Speaker 2: indecent exposure, and resisting arrest. And oh, by the way,

2205
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:10,480
Speaker 2: records show that mister Shelton has a previous criminal record

2206
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:16,839
Speaker 2: dating back forty years, including drug position, domestic violence, threats,

2207
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:22,760
Speaker 2: and disorderly conduct. And today he is now adding being

2208
02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 2: chased by an alligator as part of his resume mister

2209
02:02:27,160 --> 02:02:30,760
Speaker 2: Eugene Shelton the Phoenix, Arizona. We ask you what kind

2210
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:35,160
Speaker 2: of brand new full of you Martin Wise looking forward

2211
02:02:35,160 --> 02:02:36,640
Speaker 2: to what you got to say today.

2212
02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:40,400
Speaker 5: Bernie, I might have cheated a little bit here because

2213
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:42,839
Speaker 5: I have a brand new fool from the world of sports.

2214
02:02:42,880 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 5: I know we're generally like to try to go outside

2215
02:02:45,680 --> 02:02:47,720
Speaker 5: of the world of sports in this segment, but.

2216
02:02:48,120 --> 02:02:50,520
Speaker 2: This one I called good my friend, there are no rules.

2217
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 5: Oh well, I couldn't pass this one up because you

2218
02:02:52,680 --> 02:02:56,520
Speaker 5: know the problem is, I went to journalism school. Kim Mulky,

2219
02:02:56,680 --> 02:02:58,920
Speaker 5: I do not think did, because she went on a

2220
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:04,040
Speaker 5: four minute tirade today. Four minute rant a true rant too,

2221
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:06,600
Speaker 5: because now we talk about anybody who says anything.

2222
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:07,840
Speaker 6: With some passion as a rant.

2223
02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 5: This one was a true rant that started out with

2224
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 5: her saying that a reporter from the Washington Post had

2225
02:03:14,120 --> 02:03:16,600
Speaker 5: been chasing her around trying to get a question answered

2226
02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:22,600
Speaker 5: for two years, okay, And then then she says that

2227
02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:26,920
Speaker 5: the reporter made, when faced with a deadline of Monday

2228
02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:29,160
Speaker 5: or Tuesday, I forget the exact date, said there was

2229
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:32,000
Speaker 5: no way she could have possibly answered the questions that

2230
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:35,440
Speaker 5: was sent. And this is her final salvo of her

2231
02:03:35,520 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 5: opening press conference right here about the Washington Post scenario.

2232
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:44,240
Speaker 9: This is exactly why people don't trust journalists and the

2233
02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:49,520
Speaker 9: media anymore. It's these kinds of sleazy tactics and hatchet

2234
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:53,720
Speaker 9: jobs that people are just tired of. I'm fed up,

2235
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:57,840
Speaker 9: and I'm not gonna let the Washington Post attack this university,

2236
02:03:58,040 --> 02:04:01,800
Speaker 9: this awesome team of young women have or me without

2237
02:04:01,840 --> 02:04:05,840
Speaker 9: a fight. I've heard the best defamation look for in

2238
02:04:05,960 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 9: the country, and I will sue the Washington Post if

2239
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:12,600
Speaker 9: they publish a false story about me. Not many people

2240
02:04:12,760 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 9: are in a position to hold these kind of journalists accountable, and.

2241
02:04:17,480 --> 02:04:19,640
Speaker 6: She goes on to say that she is. But here's

2242
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:20,040
Speaker 6: the thing.

2243
02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:24,240
Speaker 5: First of all, the Washington Post, I am sure has

2244
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:28,160
Speaker 5: as a robust legal defense system in just in case

2245
02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:29,280
Speaker 5: something like this happens.

2246
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:30,440
Speaker 6: And here's the other thing.

2247
02:04:30,880 --> 02:04:32,880
Speaker 5: Kim Malkey may have made a couple million dollars here

2248
02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:36,280
Speaker 5: and they're coaching women's college basketball. But Jeff Bezos, he

2249
02:04:36,400 --> 02:04:39,080
Speaker 5: owns the Washington Post. He's got more money than God.

2250
02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 5: I don't think you're in a position to fight back either,

2251
02:04:41,680 --> 02:04:45,520
Speaker 5: Miss Maulkie. And I just know also, the news you

2252
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:48,440
Speaker 5: want to talk about selling newspapers. The Washington Post when

2253
02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 5: this thing drops is going to get a record readership,

2254
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 5: especially from fans of college basketball, in part because of

2255
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:57,840
Speaker 5: Kim Malke's doth protest too much?

2256
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:02,280
Speaker 2: Oh little lafty dunl shake Wow, keep going, you don Martin?

2257
02:05:02,440 --> 02:05:03,320
Speaker 2: Is that it? That's it?

2258
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:06,360
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, that's it. Until the article comes out, I'll

2259
02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:06,880
Speaker 6: be locked in.

2260
02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:11,440
Speaker 2: So I am also an educated journalist and you and

2261
02:05:11,680 --> 02:05:14,560
Speaker 2: I've taken enough law classes to know, and I'm not

2262
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:16,440
Speaker 2: taking sad. I don't know what happened. I really don't.

2263
02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:18,720
Speaker 2: But I saw the rant earlier today as well, Martin,

2264
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:21,360
Speaker 2: and uh not that brand new fool should take a

2265
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:24,320
Speaker 2: serious turn. But I do know this miss monkey is

2266
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:26,440
Speaker 2: a public person, and therefore she would have to prove

2267
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:29,400
Speaker 2: that whatever comes out there has been a reckless disregard

2268
02:05:29,480 --> 02:05:32,960
Speaker 2: for the truth. That's that's a legal term. And uh

2269
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:35,520
Speaker 2: and she's a public person, so that's that's hard to prove.

2270
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 2: But I don't know the story. I don't know who's

2497
02:17:20,240 --> 02:17:25,240
Speaker 2: even have the twelve team tournament playing yet, but ESPN

2498
02:17:25,600 --> 02:17:28,320
Speaker 2: just inked one hell of a deal through twenty thirty one,

2499
02:17:28,959 --> 02:17:32,720
Speaker 2: a cool seven point eight billion dollars, and it will

2500
02:17:32,760 --> 02:17:38,720
Speaker 2: be now known as the fourteen team College Playoff. I'm

2501
02:17:38,720 --> 02:17:41,040
Speaker 2: gonna give you some just basic details. We're gonna get

2502
02:17:41,040 --> 02:17:43,760
Speaker 2: into it more heavily in future shows, but this is

2503
02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:46,320
Speaker 2: too big of a story that broke last Tuesday to ignore,

2504
02:17:46,760 --> 02:17:49,000
Speaker 2: So We'll just give you give you the tips of

2505
02:17:49,040 --> 02:17:52,600
Speaker 2: the iceberg at thirty thousand feet. I'm Bernie Friddle. We

2506
02:17:52,640 --> 02:17:55,480
Speaker 2: are comedy live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios.

2507
02:17:55,560 --> 02:17:57,440

2510
02:18:04,600 --> 02:18:07,600
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. I want to give Bill Shirley credit.

2511
02:18:07,640 --> 02:18:11,560
Speaker 2: He just tweeted at me in the interest of journalistic integrity.

2512
02:18:11,879 --> 02:18:14,360
Speaker 2: I think he's right. Wilt Chamberlain may have been the

2513
02:18:14,400 --> 02:18:18,760
Speaker 2: first NBA player to wear a headband. So while I

2514
02:18:18,959 --> 02:18:21,600
Speaker 2: still think Slick Watts was cool and he was maybe

2515
02:18:21,600 --> 02:18:23,120
Speaker 2: he was the first guy with a shaved head to

2516
02:18:23,240 --> 02:18:26,400
Speaker 2: do it. I believe it's a fact that it was

2517
02:18:26,440 --> 02:18:32,440
Speaker 2: Wilt Chamberlain. So I am wrong. I stand corrected. Why

2518
02:18:32,480 --> 02:18:34,560
Speaker 2: I wear a pantyhose? All right, I just have a

2519
02:18:34,600 --> 02:18:37,039
Speaker 2: second to talk about this. We're going to get into

2520
02:18:37,080 --> 02:18:40,800
Speaker 2: it next weekend. ESPN is basically going to remain the

2521
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:43,920
Speaker 2: home of college football through twenty thirty one. They just

2522
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:46,400
Speaker 2: pointed up a seven point eight billion dollar deal this

2523
02:18:46,600 --> 02:18:49,880
Speaker 2: last Tuesday. The network will have exclusive rights to the

2524
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:53,880
Speaker 2: expanded college playoff postseason, which we're all going to be watching.

2525
02:18:54,200 --> 02:18:56,880
Speaker 2: It's going to be a month long tournament starting next year. Actually,

2526
02:18:57,200 --> 02:19:00,200
Speaker 2: ESPN's deal I think starts in twenty twenty six. I'm

2527
02:19:00,240 --> 02:19:03,600
Speaker 2: not I gotta again. We're gonna get the details. The

2528
02:19:03,680 --> 02:19:08,080
Speaker 2: conferences agreed to a twelve team playoffs starting in twenty

2529
02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:10,160
Speaker 2: twenty six, but I think you're gonna see more expansion

2530
02:19:10,200 --> 02:19:12,720
Speaker 2: on the way. There's already talked for a fourteen team playoff,

2531
02:19:13,520 --> 02:19:16,000
Speaker 2: and let's face it, it's it's an idea whose time

2532
02:19:16,040 --> 02:19:17,680
Speaker 2: has come, and you're gonna watch it. You're gonna love it.

2533
02:19:18,440 --> 02:19:22,120

Speaker 2: January twentieth, which has to be Martin Luther King Birthday

2536
02:19:26,920 --> 02:19:29,200
Speaker 2: and I think maybe even in Auguration Day. It'll be

2537
02:19:29,280 --> 02:19:31,120
Speaker 2: on the Monday night, but there's gonna be Thursday night games,

2538
02:19:31,200 --> 02:19:33,200
Speaker 2: Friday night games. Yeah, they're gonna be going up against

2539
02:19:33,200 --> 02:19:36,000
Speaker 2: the NFL wild Card, but it's gonna be a cornucopia

2540
02:19:36,560 --> 02:19:40,560
Speaker 2: of college football. And ESPN code pointed up seven point

2541
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:44,600
Speaker 2: eight billion, so we'll all be watching coming up Chris

02:21:37,560 --> 02:21:39,520
Speaker 5: The Kings beat the Magic one o nine to one

2578
02:21:39,560 --> 02:21:44,119
Speaker 5: oh seven. Hawks and the Hornets. Hornets just got annihilated

2579
02:21:44,200 --> 02:21:48,360
Speaker 5: a while nearly forty points, one thirty two to ninety one.

2580
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:51,080
Speaker 5: Wizards get a win. That's not a sentence you could

2581
02:21:51,080 --> 02:21:53,520
Speaker 5: say often six and twenty five. I mean six and

2582
02:21:53,600 --> 02:21:56,760
Speaker 5: twenty eight for the Wizards at home. They're victorious last

2583
02:21:56,840 --> 02:22:00,440
Speaker 5: night one one twelve to one oh nine. Celt beat

2584
02:22:00,520 --> 02:22:03,760
Speaker 5: the Bulls one twenty four to one thirteen. Rockets hottest

2585
02:22:03,760 --> 02:22:06,080
Speaker 5: team in the NBA right now. Thirty five and thirty

2586
02:22:06,160 --> 02:22:08,560
Speaker 5: five is their season long record. Twenty five and eleven

2587
02:22:08,600 --> 02:22:10,960
Speaker 5: at home. That's pretty dog gone good for the eleventh

2588
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:13,960
Speaker 5: seed in the West, one forty seven to one nineteen

2589
02:22:14,040 --> 02:22:17,720
Speaker 5: over the Utah Jazz Spurs beat the sun Suns beat

2590
02:22:17,800 --> 02:22:21,280
Speaker 5: the Spurs. Rather, I should say, uh, one thirty one

2591
02:22:21,520 --> 02:22:24,520
Speaker 5: to one oh six. Devin Booker with thirty two, seven

2592
02:22:24,640 --> 02:22:28,240
Speaker 5: and nine in the win, and without Nikola Jokicic and

2593
02:22:28,400 --> 02:22:32,959
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray, the Nuggets still beat the Portland Trailblazers one

2594
02:22:33,120 --> 02:22:36,959
Speaker 5: fourteen to one eleven. Aaron Gordon had twenty two points,

2595
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:38,760
Speaker 5: twelve rebounds and three blocks.

2596
02:22:39,520 --> 02:22:40,400
Speaker 6: Bernie back to you.

2597
02:22:40,760 --> 02:22:45,680
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Martin. Well four months away Paris the Olympics.

2598
02:22:46,360 --> 02:22:49,440
Speaker 2: Soccer on the international stage. But that doesn't matter whether

2599
02:22:49,560 --> 02:22:52,680
Speaker 2: the season's in or to the offseason. Whether we are

2600
02:22:52,720 --> 02:22:54,560
Speaker 2: on the field or off the field, there are always

2601
02:22:54,680 --> 02:22:58,400
Speaker 2: plenty of stories That's why we bring you Chris Purphfetts World.

2602
02:22:58,240 --> 02:23:10,520
Speaker 13: Of Soccer, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2603
02:23:15,879 --> 02:23:19,320
Speaker 2: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2604
02:23:19,879 --> 02:23:21,959
Speaker 14: Here we are once again, Bernie. We are at another

2605
02:23:22,080 --> 02:23:26,360
Speaker 14: international break. MLS continues to play on through it. It's

2606
02:23:26,440 --> 02:23:29,240
Speaker 14: putting the squeeze on some clubs, like say Intero Miami,

2607
02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:32,039
Speaker 14: who tried to have their game against Red Bull New

2608
02:23:32,160 --> 02:23:35,760
Speaker 14: York delayed on Saturdays because so many of their players,

2609
02:23:35,800 --> 02:23:38,840
Speaker 14: including Leon m Messi. We're part of this international break,

2610
02:23:38,920 --> 02:23:42,160
Speaker 14: but it was rejected. MLS one of the few leagues

2611
02:23:42,200 --> 02:23:45,360
Speaker 14: to not pause when there is a big time international

2612
02:23:45,440 --> 02:23:48,400
Speaker 14: blit break like the one being held right now. Well,

2613
02:23:48,440 --> 02:23:53,199
Speaker 14: for the US men's their victory is already held. On Thursday,

2614
02:23:53,320 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 14: they took on Jamaica in the semi finals, with the

2615
02:23:56,440 --> 02:23:59,960
Speaker 14: CONKAFF Nations League here seemingly being able to pull victory

2616
02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:04,320
Speaker 14: from the jaws of defeat. From the first minute to

2617
02:24:04,520 --> 02:24:07,360
Speaker 14: almost the end of the game, Jamaica led one nil

2618
02:24:07,840 --> 02:24:11,840
Speaker 14: until finally in stoppage time when the US got an

2619
02:24:11,879 --> 02:24:16,080
Speaker 14: equalizing goal from Corey Burke of Jamaica. Yes, and own

2620
02:24:16,240 --> 02:24:20,160
Speaker 14: goal equalized this game, in the ninety six minute headed

2621
02:24:20,240 --> 02:24:24,279
Speaker 14: it past his own goalkeeper and in extra time Hodgy

2622
02:24:24,360 --> 02:24:28,160
Speaker 14: Wright then scoring two goals, final time three to one.

2623
02:24:28,480 --> 02:24:31,560
Speaker 14: United States moves on to the finals. They're already through

2624
02:24:31,600 --> 02:24:34,240
Speaker 14: to the Copa America. But this is a very lucky

2625
02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:37,920
Speaker 14: victory for the US getting over a opponent they really

2626
02:24:38,040 --> 02:24:42,359
Speaker 14: had no reason to really fall down against, but nonetheless

2627
02:24:42,600 --> 02:24:43,760
Speaker 14: survive in advance.

2628
02:24:44,680 --> 02:24:47,120
Speaker 1: One of the interesting storylines to come out from this

2629
02:24:47,320 --> 02:24:47,800
Speaker 1: game was.

2630
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:50,240
Speaker 14: After the game, we had talked for a while Bernie

2631
02:24:50,280 --> 02:24:53,600
Speaker 14: about the simmering relationships between the family of Giovanni Raina,

2632
02:24:53,680 --> 02:24:56,240
Speaker 14: one of the young bright stars of the United States

2633
02:24:56,320 --> 02:24:59,600
Speaker 14: men and their manager Greg Burhlter, and some of the

2634
02:24:59,680 --> 02:25:03,480
Speaker 14: drama it happened with Geo's father. But Giovanni was a

2635
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:07,360
Speaker 14: substitute in this game, and afterwards talked about how there

2636
02:25:07,480 --> 02:25:11,000
Speaker 14: is no animosity between him and Berhalter, that it is

2637
02:25:11,080 --> 02:25:13,640
Speaker 14: all water under the bridge, which is always.

2638
02:25:13,400 --> 02:25:15,480
Speaker 1: You know, fantastic to talk about.

2639
02:25:15,760 --> 02:25:17,920
Speaker 14: So we can put this all behind us, because Rayna

2640
02:25:18,160 --> 02:25:21,360
Speaker 14: is singularly special for the US men's team. So with

2641
02:25:21,480 --> 02:25:25,560
Speaker 14: that set heading to Arlington in Cowboys Stadium in AT

2642
02:25:25,680 --> 02:25:29,400
Speaker 14: and T Stadium, the US will play Mexico here for

2643
02:25:29,480 --> 02:25:33,200
Speaker 14: the eventual CONKA CAFF Nations League Final. Once again the

2644
02:25:33,360 --> 02:25:38,280
Speaker 14: rivalry continues for another title. So far in these friendlies, however,

2645
02:25:38,400 --> 02:25:40,480
Speaker 14: there is one more fun thing to talk about. It

2646
02:25:40,560 --> 02:25:43,600
Speaker 14: happened in a friendly, but for one country it was

2647
02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:49,160
Speaker 14: their first time ever defeating a gargantuan monster. That would

2648
02:25:49,200 --> 02:25:53,680
Speaker 14: be Colombia defeating Spain one nil for the first time

2649
02:25:53,800 --> 02:25:58,720
Speaker 14: in Colombia's history, posting a victory over the European Titans,

2650
02:26:00,120 --> 02:26:04,080
Speaker 14: really by the amazing talent that Colombia is able to field,

2651
02:26:04,160 --> 02:26:08,720
Speaker 14: with James Rodriguez the midfielder really stimmying the Spanish side

2652
02:26:08,959 --> 02:26:12,440
Speaker 14: and Luis Diaz being a constant threat to the Spanish defense,

2653
02:26:12,760 --> 02:26:16,880
Speaker 14: the lone goal coming from Daniel Munoz in the sixty

2654
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:22,840
Speaker 14: first minute, giving Columbia a historic victory over Spain. These games,

2655
02:26:22,879 --> 02:26:26,120
Speaker 14: of course, very important tune ups as countries prepare for

2656
02:26:26,720 --> 02:26:31,360
Speaker 14: the summer championship series, especially for euro twenty twenty four

2657
02:26:31,760 --> 02:26:35,560
Speaker 14: and Copa America twenty twenty four. Again, Copa America held

2658
02:26:35,640 --> 02:26:38,520
Speaker 14: here in the United States, and the US and Mexico

2659
02:26:38,600 --> 02:26:41,320
Speaker 14: will be part of it along with the South American countries.

2660
02:26:41,879 --> 02:26:45,560
Speaker 14: As for Europe and the European Championship and Euro twenty

2661
02:26:45,640 --> 02:26:49,040
Speaker 14: twenty four. It'll be held in Germany this year and

2662
02:26:49,440 --> 02:26:54,160
Speaker 14: very fascinating development on the apparel side of things. Soccer

2663
02:26:54,440 --> 02:26:58,199
Speaker 14: is as much about fashion as it is about play

2664
02:26:58,280 --> 02:27:01,280
Speaker 14: on the field. Kits have always been and important part

2665
02:27:01,400 --> 02:27:04,800
Speaker 14: of soccer culture, and really the biggest bombshell the week

2666
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:08,680
Speaker 14: might come from the apparel business. Like I said, Germany

2667
02:27:08,800 --> 02:27:11,279
Speaker 14: is the host and they're feeling some pressure because Germany

2668
02:27:11,320 --> 02:27:14,160
Speaker 14: hasn't really been themselves in the last few international competitions.

2669
02:27:14,600 --> 02:27:18,080
Speaker 14: But Germany is now very shockingly for the first time

2670
02:27:18,200 --> 02:27:23,960
Speaker 14: in seventy years, switching off Adidas. Okay, that's important, So

2671
02:27:24,080 --> 02:27:26,600
Speaker 14: let's give you some context why that's important. Because Adidas

2672
02:27:27,040 --> 02:27:30,840
Speaker 14: is a German company. Because Adidas has always been the

2673
02:27:30,959 --> 02:27:34,320
Speaker 14: company that has been able to supply Germany with its apparel,

2674
02:27:34,760 --> 02:27:38,840
Speaker 14: and for a very long time, Germany was their flagship.

2675
02:27:38,920 --> 02:27:42,600
Speaker 14: Their best jerseys came for the German national team. And said,

2676
02:27:42,720 --> 02:27:46,520
Speaker 14: Germany now turns to Nike, who is also the apparel

2677
02:27:46,600 --> 02:27:50,280
Speaker 14: makers for the United States and England. It is a

2678
02:27:50,640 --> 02:27:54,039
Speaker 14: massive feather in the cap of Nike, huge blow to Germany.

2679
02:27:54,400 --> 02:27:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't really like it myself.

2680
02:27:55,720 --> 02:27:58,920
Speaker 14: I think I understand in this country Nike has so

2681
02:27:59,080 --> 02:28:02,160
Speaker 14: much cachet to it, but globally for soccer, I think

2682
02:28:02,200 --> 02:28:06,120
Speaker 14: Adidas is still the superior brand in the quality of

2683
02:28:06,160 --> 02:28:08,680
Speaker 14: its jerseys, especially last World Cup. I was not a

2684
02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:11,400
Speaker 14: fan of Nike stuff at all, but rest assured this

2685
02:28:11,520 --> 02:28:13,560
Speaker 14: is a very shocking one and I am sure there

2686
02:28:13,600 --> 02:28:15,960
Speaker 14: will be some to blame if Germany does not show

2687
02:28:16,040 --> 02:28:19,560
Speaker 14: up here when Euros kicks off in June. And one

2688
02:28:19,640 --> 02:28:22,320
Speaker 14: more story on the international front, Bernie, this time not

2689
02:28:22,840 --> 02:28:26,680
Speaker 14: any of those tournaments, but instead involving the Olympics and

2690
02:28:26,760 --> 02:28:29,720
Speaker 14: our old friend Killian Imbape. We are still in the

2691
02:28:29,840 --> 02:28:33,640
Speaker 14: midst of talks with him moving from Paris Saint Germain

2692
02:28:33,760 --> 02:28:36,720
Speaker 14: to what is supposedly supposed to be Real Madrid, and

2693
02:28:36,840 --> 02:28:40,000
Speaker 14: on Friday, Imbape said that he remains hopeful of taking

2694
02:28:40,080 --> 02:28:43,040
Speaker 14: part in the Paris Olympics this summer and that no

2695
02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:45,320
Speaker 14: one's told him yet that he won't be able to compete.

2696
02:28:45,440 --> 02:28:48,080
Speaker 14: But I'm sure pressure from Real Madrid will be if

2697
02:28:48,120 --> 02:28:49,920
Speaker 14: he decides to join the club, that they will try

2698
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:53,360
Speaker 14: to tell him not to participate in the Olympics. Now,

2699
02:28:53,440 --> 02:28:55,360
Speaker 14: this is a bit of a funny thing here with

2700
02:28:55,520 --> 02:29:00,040
Speaker 14: the men's aside in football at the Summer Olympics, and

2701
02:29:00,040 --> 02:29:03,199
Speaker 14: now on the women's side, all ages are able to participate.

2702
02:29:03,280 --> 02:29:06,320
Speaker 14: Now on the men's side, though the tournaments for nations

2703
02:29:06,360 --> 02:29:09,320
Speaker 14: supposed to be composed of players under twenty three years

2704
02:29:09,360 --> 02:29:12,160
Speaker 14: of age, each nation is allowed.

2705
02:29:12,600 --> 02:29:14,800
Speaker 1: Three permitted exceptions.

2706
02:29:15,080 --> 02:29:18,800
Speaker 14: Killian Mbape, of course, is twenty five right now and

2707
02:29:18,920 --> 02:29:23,520
Speaker 14: still very eager to represent France, especially following the World

2708
02:29:23,640 --> 02:29:27,400
Speaker 14: Cup defeat. Killing Imbape himself had not participated in the

2709
02:29:27,480 --> 02:29:30,400
Speaker 14: previous Olympics and has said that it is a quote

2710
02:29:30,600 --> 02:29:34,080
Speaker 14: dream to be able to represent France in the Olympics.

2711
02:29:34,840 --> 02:29:37,960
Speaker 14: We talk a lot about the differences between club, the

2712
02:29:38,360 --> 02:29:42,240
Speaker 14: tensions between club and nation. In this one, Killing definitely

2713
02:29:42,360 --> 02:29:45,400
Speaker 14: wants to lean nation. I'm curious how much power a

2714
02:29:45,480 --> 02:29:48,760
Speaker 14: club would have to really stop him, especially since he'd

2715
02:29:48,800 --> 02:29:52,040
Speaker 14: becoming right off Euros which would be in June, to

2716
02:29:52,160 --> 02:29:54,920
Speaker 14: go straight to the Olympics, when the soccer side of

2717
02:29:54,959 --> 02:29:58,040
Speaker 14: things would take place near the end of July into

2718
02:29:58,400 --> 02:30:02,040
Speaker 14: the middle of August, as club times would be starting

2719
02:30:02,080 --> 02:30:04,920
Speaker 14: to ramp up as they prepare for the fall calendar

2720
02:30:05,160 --> 02:30:08,119
Speaker 14: and the return to their domestic seasons. Obviously, the conflict

2721
02:30:08,280 --> 02:30:10,480
Speaker 14: is clear but on this one, if you're someone like

2722
02:30:10,560 --> 02:30:12,320
Speaker 14: Real Madrid, I would.

2723
02:30:12,200 --> 02:30:15,119
Speaker 1: Let him do it. There's no reason to upset any

2724
02:30:15,200 --> 02:30:17,560
Speaker 1: kind of relationship. You might have to get.

2725
02:30:17,840 --> 02:30:20,960
Speaker 14: What is the best player in the world under the

2726
02:30:21,040 --> 02:30:23,440

2794
02:34:06,080 --> 02:34:09,360
Speaker 2: that have won nineteen of the last twenty one March

2795

Speaker 2: one incach champions each possessed this They averaged greater than

2800
02:34:34,160 --> 02:34:36,920
Speaker 2: seventy four points a game, so they were a one

2801
02:34:36,959 --> 02:34:38,840
Speaker 2: to two or three seed from a major conference, or

2802

2805
02:34:50,800 --> 02:34:55,320
Speaker 2: in the last twenty one INCA champions. Well, they owned

2806
02:34:55,320 --> 02:34:59,280

2811
02:35:18,160 --> 02:35:21,000
Speaker 2: this one, but I'll clean it up. They had a

Speaker 2: coach with six or more NCAA tournament appearances and at

2813

Speaker 2: you're right, I said. Nineteen of the last twenty one champions.

2816
02:35:35,680 --> 02:35:39,400
Speaker 2: The only two outliers were Yukon both times twenty twenty
