00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: We are glad to have you. We won't let you down,

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: all right, I get she could call this weekend now

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: scoring record weekend. In about eleven hours, Caitlin Clark will

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: tip it off against Ohio State. Remember those two got

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: together a little tussle three weeks ago at Ohio State.

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: Ohio State, you know, so won the game and rushed

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: the court and Caitlyn ended up in a whirling dervish.

22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: But she's alive and everything's good, and so she's eighteen

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: points away from passing Pete Marrivitch. And I know for

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: some not for everybody, invoking those two names in the

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: same sentence caused a stroke for some people. Of course,

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm being facetious, but it's not that you're comparing. We

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: can hold two thoughts concurrently. There has to be some perspective.

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: She's not Pete Marivitch. Everybody knows that who is. And

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: if Pete had a three point line, he would have

30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: averaged fifty eight points a game, and he did in

31
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: three years, fifty games less than Caitlyn Clark did. But

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: there has to be some percon meaning that when you

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: consider it's been well over fifty years since Pete Maravich's

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: records were accumulated, multiple, multiple people, men and women, have

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to pass that number, and no one

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: has until Caitlin Clark. That's all. Let her stand on

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: her own. She'll be drafted number one by the Indiana Fever.

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: She'll double the attendance there and we'll see where it

39
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: goes from here. But it's a story and we're all

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 2: watching and like my buddy Dick Shaft, my Metro used

41
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: to tell me, my favorite sport is people out of

42
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: root for teams that rooted for the story. And this

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: is a story, Well there was another story. Saturday night,

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: Lebron James became the first player to score forty thousand

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: points in the National Basketball Association. So how do we

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: put that in perspective? Now? I remember back in nineteen

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: eighty nine when Creemale jewel Ja Bar retired with thirty eight,

48
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty seven points, the late Great her said,

49
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: on no uncertain terms, no one will ever break that record.

50
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: Jake was a beauty. Who could blame him for thinking that?

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: But Lebron did. And now he's done something no one

52
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: else has ever done in the NBA. He scored forty

53
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: thousand points. You hear this number, How do you assess

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: meaning to it? How do you assess context to it? Well,

55
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: in order to score forty thousand points in the NBA,

56
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: you have to make fourteen thousand, six hundred and sixty shots,

57
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: including two thousand, three hundred and eighty three pointers and

58
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: eight thousand, three hundred made free throws. And you don't

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: do it in a week or two. You do it

60
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: over the course of fourteen hundred and seventy five games,

61
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: and you have to have v log fifty five thousand,

62
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: six hundred minutes. Are you hearing these numbers? It took

63
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: twenty one years and all the while you have to

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: average just over fifty percent from the field to do that. Yeah,

65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: if you went to the gym and started bouncing the

66
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: ball and started shooting and you didn't miss a shot

67
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: for seventeen straight hours and make twenty thousand straight shots,

68
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: that would be forty thousand points. Try it. If you

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: got nothing better to do, you can't miss a shot.

70
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: You got to keep taking them over seventeen hours to

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: make twenty thousand in a row. So how else do

72
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: you put into perspective what Lebron James did Saturday night?

73
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Forty thousand points at this point certainly unprecedented? Did it

74
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: against the Denver Nuggets? Not bad? Here's another way to

75
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 2: put it in perspective. And don't ask me to compare

76
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: to Lebron and Michael Jordan. I've given this speech a

77
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: thousand times and I really believe honestly, I don't mean

78
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: to sound like that guy. But if you didn't see

79
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: both of them play courtside. You kind of have to

80
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: recuse yourself from the argument. I saw both of them

81
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: play courtside. I'll take Jordan every day, all day. That

82
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: doesn't mean I don't respect Lebron's accomplishments and his legacy

83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: and he's excellence. But there was an air of greatness

84
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: that Jordan had that Lebron will never have. But Lebron

85
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 2: does have the stats, just ask him. But by seasons in,

86
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: there are a couple of other players I thought were

87
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: pretty good. I saw Larry Bird play courtside. Yeah, he's

88
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: pretty good, wasn't he. I saw Isaiah Thomas play courtside

89
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: many times. I've interviewed Isaiah Thomas. I've talked to Isaiah Thomas.

90
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: He once told me he thought that point guard was

91
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: the most point was the most important position in all

92
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: the sports, for the simple reason that one man with

93
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: a ball in his hands could dictate the movements of

94
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: five other people. Check that nine other people. So why

95
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: do I bring up Larry Bird and Isaiah Thomas? Because

96
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: by the seasons in, as long as Lebron keeps averaging

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: twenty five points the game, which no reason to believe

98
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: he shouldn't even if he doesn't, the likelihood is by

99
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: seasons in Lebron James will have as many points in

100
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 2: his career as Larry Bird and Isaiah Thomas combined. How's

101
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: that for putting it in perspective. What if you were

102
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: to simply split Lebron james career in half, take the

103
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: first ten seasons and then the next eleven seasons, you'd

104
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: actually have two Hall of Fame careers. Because Lebron scored

105
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: twenty one thousand points a fraction over in his first

106
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: ten seasons, which would make him number forty one in

107
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: the all time score list. If Lebron would have retired

108
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen, he would have retired as the number

109
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: forty one all time scorer with twenty one thousand, eighty

110
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: one points, And every player who's no longer active with

111
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: at least twenty one thousand points he's in the Hall

112
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: of Fame except Vince Carter. Vince Carter is in his

113
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: first year of eligibility in the Hall of Fame, and

114
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: I believe he'll get in. So let's take Lebron's first

115
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: ten seasons. He would have been a Hall of Famer.

116
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: Now let's take his next eleven seasons eighteen nine and

117
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: ten points, which still puts him in the top seventy

118
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: and sixty six, just behind another Hall of Famer, a

119
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: guy by the name is Scottie Pippen. You know, if

120
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: you look at all of the points that the Golden

121
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: State Warriors scored from twenty fourteen to twenty eighteen when

122
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: they won their three titles with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson,

123
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: Draymond Green and Kevin Durant. In those four seasons, the

124
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: Warriors as a group totaled thirty two hundred and forty

125
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: four points. Still, all by his lonesome, Lebron has managed

126
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: to score more points than the Warriors dynasty did over

127
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 2: four season because the truth of the matter is Lebron

128
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: scored a lot of points. There was a game earlier

129
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: this season that Lebron scored thirty one points in a game.

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: He became the first player to have thirty point games

131
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: separated by twenty years. That's your perspective. By the way,

132
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: Lebron is also on pace to become just a second

133
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: player to score at least sixteen hundred points in his

134
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: rookie season, and only sixteen hundred points at thirty nine

135
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: years old. There's only one other guy that also did that.

136
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: I mentioned him earlier, guy by the name of Michael Jordan.

137
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: Among you know, it's not just scoring. Lebron had a

138
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: streak of twelve hundred and four consecutive games with at

139
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: least ten points, and the last time he scored fewer

140
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: than ten points was on January sixth, two thousand and seven.

141
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: He had eight points against Milwaukee. Every game since then

142
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: at least ten points. Michael Jordan's second on that list

143
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: with eight hundred and sixty six games at least ten points,

144
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: and I don't know how you top that. Joel Embiid

145
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: is next on the list with one hundred and sixty

146
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: nine games in a row. That's quite a gap, isn't it. Now.

147
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: Lebron never scored one hundred points in a game like

148
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: Will Chamberlain. I don't think anybody's going to touch that record,

149
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: but no one will touch Lebron's record either of twelve

150
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: hundred and four straight games or at least ten points.

151
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: You've got to do that to get to forty thousand.

152
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: So I could go on all right. You know, I'm

153
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: not a Lebron fan, but I will I can hold

154
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: two thoughts. Concurrently, his legacy is secure. I saw him

155
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: play as a high school senior at Saint Vincent Saint Mary.

156
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: I took the drive down from Detroit. Had somebody offered

157
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: me fifteen bucks of the program in the parking lot,

158
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: and of course I sold it. I don't know it'd

159
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: be worth mouth, don't I probatize my buddy Mike Carmen

160
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: that don't really care. But you could see at that

161
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: point you could project Lebron James. You could put him

162
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: in an NBA game. Even this is in his senior

163
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: year two thousand and three. His body type, his mobility,

164
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: his handles, his court sense, his habits, you could see

165
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: you could put him in an NBA game. The question

166
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: is can you really put his son in an NBA game.

167
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that coming up with Aaron Torus,

168
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: among other things for two weeks. Believe it or not.

169
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: From Selection Sunday, it really doesn't feel like it. I'm sorry.

170
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: Conference tournaments are starting. It will get into the mix.

171
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: Even betting our buddy Jay Cornegie at the Westgate has said,

172
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: you know, the handle's been really kind of light so far.

173
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: Maybe we've got a Super Bowl hangover but two weeks

174
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: from tonight and we'll get Alan Boston back on. You'll

00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: not only that, it's you know, it's set Patty's Day

Speaker 2: To get to and I will make a I want

208
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: to start up in left field. Uh, I will make

209
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: a quick ton in cheek comment. So sc pretty impressive

210
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: today at Washington with a nice victory in the Trojans

211
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: College Men's college basketball Bronnie with a single single, two

212
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: rebounds and three assists. How much did that help his

213
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: draft stock today? From what I can hear?

214
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: First of all, that's a double single, isn't it.

215
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: A single single? Yeah? The oh you're right? You're right? Well,

216
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: I mean I spoke, It's like, yeah, go yeah, you

217
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: got it double single.

218
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 5: Well, it didn't really help his draft stock because he

219
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 5: doesn't have draft stock, so h So, I know you're

220
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 5: just you're just joking about the topic of the week.

221
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 5: And then, by the way, you know, Jason and I

222
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: talked about this on our show, but we criticized Bronnie's

223
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 5: draft stock, and I know you're the same. Burn. We're

224
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: not criticizing Bronnie the person of Ronnie the player and reality,

225
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 5: what we're doing is we're criticizing the decision of his

226
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: father to put stuff out there. Is that you know,

227
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: this kid had enough pressure on him already without his

228
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 5: dad completely restructuring his contract to allow him to be

229
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: a free agent the year that his son entered the league.

230
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: And I think this week, I think Lebron, I think

231
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 5: those comments and those tweets that have since been deleted

232
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 5: were kind of Lebron waving the white flag of I

233
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 5: probably put some unrealistic expectations on my son. Now, I

234
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: think Lebron's too much of a narcissist to ever acknowledge

235
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 5: that he probably screwed this whole thing up, But I

236
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 5: do think that was how I read those those tweets

237
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 5: that were put out earlier this week was that Lebron

238
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: was basically acknowledging I should have never put this burden

239
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 5: on my son, and that burden, of course, essentially saying

240
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 5: that after a year of college he would be ready

241
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 5: to come to the NBA and play with his father.

242
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: So, just a few hours ago, apparently Rich Paula Clutch

243
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Sports made a statement, it's my understanding, I don't want

244
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: to misquote or be wrong about this, but having to

245
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: do with the fact that Bronni James would make his

246
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: NBA draft decision depending on which teams had interest in

247
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: the situation more so than his projected draft position. I'm

248
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: going to make a bold prediction. I think it's fifty

249
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: to fifty that Bronni ends up on the Lakers roster

250
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: next year. He doesn't have to be drafted, he could

251
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: sign as a free agent. Give me your thoughts on

252
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: the fact that I think Lebron is an impatient man.

253
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: He not only wants this to happen, he wants it

254
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: to happen next year. Am I wrong?

255
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: No, I don't think you're wrong at all. I mean,

256
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 5: I thought it was very interesting that just a couple

257
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: of days after Lebron himself comes out and says, you know,

258
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: let him enjoy college. Again the message which obviously, look

259
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: Rich Paul is not going to do an interview without

260
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 5: Lebron knowing about it. So it goes from you know,

261
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: seventy two hours ago Lebron saying, just let the kid

262
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 5: be a kid and enjoy college to now it need

263
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: is exactly what you just said, Rich Paul saying it's

264
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 5: about fit and it's about location, it's about development. It's

265
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: excuse me, it's not about draft positions. So what that

266
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: reads to me is exactly what you said is that

267
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 5: probably Bronni will declare I don't know if he'll get drafted.

268
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 5: And by the way, you don't have to be drafted.

269
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's more advantageous not to be drafted, but you

270
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 5: don't have to be drafted, And it will be what

271
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 5: is the best position for him to develop? But really,

272
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: let's be honest, it's not gonna be about what's the

273
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: best position for him to develop. It's what is the

274
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 5: best position for him to get on an NBA court

275
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: with his father as soon as possible. And so because

276
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: of it, I'm with you. I think it'll be I

277
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: think he'll sign as a Laker, and I think he'll

278
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: probably be in the NBA, even if it's for a

279
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 5: small cup of coffee next year as a Los Angeles

280
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 5: Laker as well.

281
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: Could you see him getting a two way contract where

282
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: he moves back and forth, and you know how those work.

283
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: You're paid four hundred and forty nine thousand dollars, you

284
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: spend certain amount of time on the roster, in certain

285
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: amount of time in the G League. Seems like the

286
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: best of both worlds. And if in fact the developmental

287
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: aspect of his career allows his ceiling to perhaps be

288
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: an NBA type player one day, that might be their

289
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: best path. Could you see that happening?

290
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would almost certainly be the scenario. I mean,

291
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 5: you know, even get to remember, even high first round

292
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: picks now spend time in the G League. That's just

293
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 5: how this whole thing has evolved. You know, I'm a

294
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 5: Yukon Husky fan. Jordan Hawkins, the star of the final

295
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: four National Championship run last year, was a lottery pick,

296
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 5: and he spent time in the G League this year.

297
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: So no matter where he could be picked, you know,

298
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: I want to say first overall, but you know, he

299
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 5: could pick a lottery he could go undrafted. I think

300
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 5: it's more likely than not that if he is a

301
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 5: professional next year, the vast majority of his year will

302
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: be spent in the G League. Now again, I don't

303
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 5: you know, it's up to the family to determine what's

304
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 5: best for Brownie. I think, you know, spending time on

305
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: a college campus working towards a degree is a lot

306
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 5: more fun than you know, riding a bus and delude Minnesota.

307
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 5: But it's not up to me. I don't even know

308
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 5: if it's up to Bronnie. Again, it's it's it's the weird, Yeah,

309
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 5: it's the weird uh want tings and desires of his father.

310
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 5: And I think that's a disappointing thing of this, of

311
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: this all is it doesn't feel like it's ever been

312
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 5: about what's best for Brownie. But what's best for for

313
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 5: you know, what, what allows lebron to kind of fulfill

314
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 5: whatever childhood fantasies that he had or or young adult

315
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 5: fantasies that he had about playing in the NBA with

316
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 5: his son. So that's a disappointing part. But yeah, go ahead, Bernie,

317
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: I'm going.

318
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: No, you just nailed it. No, that's that's exactly it.

319
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: You just nailed it. You brought up the tweet. Can

320
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 2: y'all please let the kid be a kid? Excuse me,

321
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: you're the one, Lebron. This is why I pick on

322
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: the guy. It's his disingenuous nature. He's, you know, self serving,

323
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: self aggrandizing nature that's force fed Brownie James in the public.

324
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: And you know, and I don't feel bad for Bronnie James,

325
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: but by all Accountcy is a great kid. But I

326
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 2: think you pointed out here we were talking this week, Aaron,

327
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: what did Lebron say about his son in terms of

328
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: his ability to contribute in the NBA right now?

329
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

330
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 5: But what was it about six weeks ago? He said

331
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: something to the effect of Bronni could help the Lakers

332
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 5: right now, where he's better than some of the guys

333
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 5: we got, or something like that. And I don't have

334
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 5: the direct call in front of me, but that was

335
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 5: the gist of it. And of course it was comical then,

336
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 5: and it was certainly made more comical over the last

337
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: couple of days by Lebron making all of us the

338
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: bad guy in ESPN and the bad guy for moving

339
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 5: Bronni down the mock drafts. So again, this is all

340
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 5: stuff that he has put out into the ether. I

341
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: know I've said this to you on your show before Bernie,

342
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: because he asked me about it. I think it was

343
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: around this time last year. You know, Bronni didn't have

344
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: a recruitment, and he didn't have a recruitment because nobody

345
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: wanted to recruit him because Lebron had put it out

346
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: there that the expectation was that he was going to

347
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: be a one and done player and was going to

348
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 5: be in the NBA next year playing with Lebron. And

349
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 5: there were a lot of schools that basically said, look,

350
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 5: we think Bronnie has a lot of upside. We'd love

351
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 5: to bring him in our program, but we can't do that.

352
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: We can't bring him in if he's going to be

353
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 5: the eighth or knighte guy and we're not going to

354
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: be able to play him and give him significant minutes.

355
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 7: I can tell you, and I said it on my

356
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 7: show about an hour ago.

357
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 5: USC. You know USC, I think there's this notion that

358
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 5: it was always going to be USC. The USC didn't

359
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 5: recruit him until Trey White is now at Louisville and

360
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: Reestixon Waters is now at San Diego State, both decided

361
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 5: in the spring to transfer both those guys that come back.

362
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: I don't know that Bronnie James would even be at

363
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 5: USC right now. So the crux of all of this

364
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 5: is that Lebron, whether intentional or not, has really screwed

365
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 5: up a lot of things for his son because of

366
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: his very public comments about wanting to play with his

367
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: son in the NBA. So we'll see, you know, we'll

368
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: see what happens from here. But there's no doubt about it.

369
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: Talk with Aaron toresa college basketball grou here at Fox

370
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, I always uh Ohio State would have been

371
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: the best fit for him, but Lebron says he wants

372
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: Brandy to be his own man. But I think he

373
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: force fed the whole USC thing. That's the part, you

374
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: know that really bothers me, These disingenuine statements. Uh, let's uh,

375
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: let's switch gears ever so quickly. Got a couple of

376
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: minutes here, Bud, so pretty eventful, Dan Collins basketball, Houston

377
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: with the big win.

378
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

379
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: It looks like Houston, Yukon and everybody else. But I

380
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: want to ask you a question. I don't necessarily truck

381
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 2: trust Rick Barnes, but that Tennessee defense proved here for

382
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: real today going and shutting down a very lead out

383
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: Alabama offense in Alabama. Could we see a team come

384
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: out of left field this year.

385
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 5: To win the national championship?

386
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Yes, to win a national championships Yeah.

387
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 5: I mean I think it depends what your definition of

388
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: left field is. You know, if if anyone other than Houston,

389
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: purdueing Yukon is left field, then yeah, I do think so.

390
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 5: I I you know, I think this is Tennessee team

391
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 5: is good enough to win it. And you know, Rick

392
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: Barnes's resume isn't great. What he's made the second weekend

393
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 5: too out of the last four NCAA tournaments. And you know,

394
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: I even tweeted this today. I find it funny that

395
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 5: the standard that he's being helped to remember, Rick Barks

396
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: has done everything at Tennessee other than make a Final

397
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 5: four and win a national championship. One an SEC regular

398
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: season title, He's one an SEC tournament title. He's had

399
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: multiple first round picks, he's had top five recruiting classes,

400
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 5: but he hasn't made a final four. But Tennessee has

401
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: never made a final four in school history. Like this

402
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 5: isn't like going to Kentucky and being in year eight,

403
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 5: year nine without making a final four, Tennessee has never

404
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 5: done that in school history. So to hold him to

405
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 5: a standard, And I'm not saying you are, Bernie, I'm

406
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 5: just saying the public is is that that you know,

407
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 5: he's somehow a failure because he's never he's done something

408
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: that has never been done in school history. Like, that's ridiculous,

409
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 5: you know, you know, like nobody holds Dan Lanning at

410
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 5: Oregon to a standard. Up, well, he hasn't won a

411
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: national championship. He's a bust. It's like, well, Orgon's never

412
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 5: won a national championship in football, so it's like why

413
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 5: what you know? So I just find the whole standard

414
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 5: to be ridiculous. But I do think this is his

415
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 5: best team. And I was even texting with some Tennessee

416
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: fans tonight. I do think, you know, barring something shocking,

417
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 5: an injury, whatever that nobody's hoping for, I do think

418
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 5: it'll be a disappointment. Certainly. You got to get to

419
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 5: the second weekend, and I think you gotta be in

420
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 5: the elite A going to competing to go to a

421
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 5: final four. You know, if you're a two seed and

422
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 5: you lose to Yukon in the regional final, that's one thing.

423
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 5: But you know, if you're a two seed or even

424
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 5: a potentially a one, and you'll lose on that first weekend,

425
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 5: or you lose in the sweet sixteen to an eleven seed,

426
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 5: it's like it is going to stay with him. And

427
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: I think that might be the one that, you know,

428
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: officially puts it over the top. But I do think

429
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 5: this team is good enough to beat anybody. I think

430
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 5: they're good enough to win a national championship. I really do.

431
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: Aaron last thing for me, so John Challa party with

432
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: a few minutes to go today against Arkansas, put all

433
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: five freshmen on the floor, and they looked as good

434
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: as they've looked all year. What do you think Kentucky

435
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: ends up. Could they get Final four? Do they get

436
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: knocked out early? Your thoughts?

437
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I know there's some data that says

438
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 5: that the statistically their defense is not good enough to

439
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 5: win national championship, But I think the national championship is

440
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 5: probably relatively unrealistic. But they could score with anybody. They

441
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 5: have the most NBA talent And one of the biggest

442
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 5: miss in college basketball, Bernie, is that you can't win

443
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 5: with freshman. I think there's this this thought that in

444
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four it's a you know, older sport. You know,

445
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 5: you have COVID seniors that are twenty four to twenty five.

446
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: Go back to last year, Alabama was a number one

447
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 5: seed SEC regular season champ, SEC Tournament champion. Four of

448
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 5: their top six scorers were freshmen. If your freshmen are

449
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: good enough, you can win with freshmen. And so I

450
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 5: think this is Calberry's best shot in a while. The

451
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 5: defense isn't great, but I think this team has grown

452
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 5: up quite a bit here over the last couple of

453
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: weeks since that lost to Gonzaga. You know, you beat

454
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 5: Auburn on the road, you smack Alabama at home home. Today,

455
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: you put up one hundred and twelve one hundred thirteen points.

456
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 5: I think the key is you have so many different

457
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: guys that can win you games. Reached Shepherd won it

458
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 5: for you on Tuesday. Rob Dillingham took over the game

459
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 5: late today, justin Edwards at thirty against Alabama. Those are

460
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 5: just three guys right there, of about five or six

461
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 5: that can get you twenty to twenty five. And I

462
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 5: didn't even include Antonio Reeves is in the running for

463
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 5: SEC Player of the Year as a fifty year senior.

464
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 5: So I really like this Kentucky team. I think they're

465
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 5: getting getting hot at the right time. Now they still

466
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 5: have that Tennessee and now I think they have a

467
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 5: little bit of some demons in the SEC tournament that

468
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 5: they have to kind of clean cleanse as well. So

469
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: you know, they're always under a microscope. If they lose early,

470
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 5: we know what that's going to mean for the Califeri legacy.

471
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 5: But I like where this team is trending with obviously,

472
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 5: you know, ten days left in the regular you know,

473
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 5: eight days left in the regular season.

474
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: Excuse me, all right, buddy, good stuff, Aaron, enjoy it

475
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: and have a enjoy the rest of your weekend. We'll

476
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: be talking again soon.

477
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 5: Thanks Bertie, I have a great night.

478
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks to Erin toy Sar, Fox Sports Radio. Uh,

479
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: college basketball grew you know, you know, it'll heat up here.

480
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 2: We've actually got five tournaments, tournament championships in college basketball

481
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: coming to Las Vegas. Got the Mount West Men's and women's,

482
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: you got the Big West, you got the Pac twelve.

483
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: As usual, it'll heat up here. It's just gonna it's

484
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: gonna ramp up. I think we've got a little bit

485
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: of a Super Bowl hangover, but beyond that, it'll start

486
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: to ramp up. Coming up. What do we learn today?

487
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: There were some pretty good tussles in college basketball? What

488
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: do we learned? I will pass along when I think

489
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: we learned, But first let's go to our guy, Kevin

490
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: figured or excuse me, Kevin wired the chef with the latest.

491
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bernie. A great day of college basketball, and in

492
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 4: the NBA we actually saw history being made Saturday night

493
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: out in Los Angeles. James against the.

494
00:25:53,520 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: Porter drives, Spence gets his side. It's Probron James, NBA's

495
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 2: all time leading score with another milestone as the legend

496
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: of Lebron continues to grow.

497
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 4: That was Mike Breen on ABC with the call as

498
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: Lebron James becomes the first player in NBA history to

499
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: get a career forty thousand points. But the Nuggets spoil

500
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 4: the Lakers parade, winning at one twenty four, one fourteen

501
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: by thirty five points to ten rebounds from Nikola Jokic.

502
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 4: But more impressively was Michael Porter Junior's performance ten out

503
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: of ten, shooting five out of five from beyond the

504
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 4: three point arc as he had twenty five points overall.

505
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: On the evening, other NBA action, Rockets with an upset

506
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: went over the Suns one eight team to one oh

507
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: nine as Jalen Green had thirty four points. Trailb Blazers

508
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 4: and Grizzlies go to overtime where Portland wins at one

509
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: oh seven one hundred heat over the Jazz won twenty

510
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 4: six to one to twenty and the Nets take down

511
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: the Hawks one fourteen at two one oh two. College hoops,

512
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 4: it was a huge day several ranked teams in action,

513
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: the top two teams both winning on Saturday. Was a

514
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: close one for top ranked Houston, but they pull it

515
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 4: off against Oklahoma in Norman eighty seven eighty five. Number

516
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 4: two per Due holds off Michigan State eighty to seventy four.

517
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: Number four Tennessee and a huge matchup in the SEC

518
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 4: against number fourteen Alabama, the Valls winning eighty one seventy four.

519
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 4: As Alabama starting to slowly fade as the season goes along.

520
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: Number seventeen Saint Mary suffers their first loss in conference

521
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: play this year, as number twenty three Gonzaga don't look now,

522
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: but they seem to be making a charge right here.

523
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: They beat Saint Mary seventy to fifty seven. North Carolina

524
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 4: and NC State tu Tar Hills win that one, seventy

525
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,520

Speaker 4: twenty five South Florida beat Charlotte seventy six sixty one.

539
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: Back to you burning all right, thanks, chef.

540
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: So I had mentioned to Aaron the Tennessee valls in

541
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: their eighty one seventy four victory at Alabama. It's significant

542
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: to me. It's significant to me because we all knew

543
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: that Tennessee had this incredibly elite defense, and whenever you

544
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: have the best defense, go against the best offense. And

545
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: Alabama's got an elite offense. But it should be noted

546
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: that earlier this season, Tennessee beat Alabama by twenty So

547
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: the question was coulse Tennessee traveled to Suscaloosa and win again.

548
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they did well. They didn't just do that.

549
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: They held Alabama to nine for thirty seven from behind

550
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: the arc and Alabama only made two three pointers in

551
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: the entire second half. Now, this is a very elite offense.

552
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: So the other important part was Tennessee was able to

553
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: keep up offensively with Alabama. And the bottom line is

554
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: Tennessee is a live for a number one seed. This

555
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: is a huge win. Now, Arizona did Tennessee no favors

556
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: because they thumped Oregon. They remain ahead. They keep the

557
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: top spot in the top line. But I don't think

558
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve is as good as the SEC. But

559
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: the Valls are gonna need the Wildcats to lose a

560
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: game at some point to move up. But maybe it

561
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't be the worst thing in the world of Tennessee.

562
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: Just got a number two. Rick Barnes has never you

563
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: won a guy I think to a Final four. I

564
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: think it was a Texas either. I'd have to look

565
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: it up. That's been the knock on him. But look,

566
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: you know one of my favorite quotes. One of my

567
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: favorite coaches all time was a late great Al McGuire,

568
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: who obviously then went on to be a famed announcer.

569
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: He coached his final season was at Marquette in nineteen

570
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: seventy seven, when now they back then they were actually

571
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: called the Marquette Warriors, and Al held a press conference

572
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: right before the tournament started. People thought this might have

573
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: been a contrivance to fire his team up, but the

574
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: bottom line is he basically said, I'm retiring, this is

575
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: my last season, and one of the reporters said something

576
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: along the lines, you're trying to fire your coach. Fire

577
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: your team up. Coach to win the national championship this year,

578
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: by the ways, loaded in nineteen seventy seven, some great

579
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: teams North Carolina, et cetera. And he says, not ah,

580
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: you kidd, And he goes, We're not going to win

581
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: a national championship, but we're going to be like a

582
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: cockroach and a play the spaghetti. We're gonna fall and

583
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: mess things up for somebody else. Well, Marquette actually did

584
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: win the national championship in nineteen seventy seven. I am

585
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: very curious as to who might fall in and mess

586
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 2: things up for somebody else. There are a lot of

587
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: very good teams. I don't know if there are any

588
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: great teams. I would put Yukon in the great category.

589
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: I even like them a little better than last year.

590
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: They defend like nobody, and they got five shooters, and

591
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: they know what it likes to win it all. I

592
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: actually think Yukon. If you put a gun to my

593
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: head and said take Yukon versus the field, I might

594
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: take Yukon because look at the other teams. You really

595
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: expect Purdue to all of a sudden break the pattern

596
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: of what they had, or in Arizona, or even in Kansas.

597
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: There are times where Kansas just looks unbeatable. But not today.

598
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: They lose to Baylor eighty two seventy four. They don't

599
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: look like a national title contender. Right. They bring back

600
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: Kevin mccullor junior, that was a positive. He comes back

601
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: after Bill's self he didn't expect him to play the

602
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: rest of the season. But the Jayhawks they can't overcome

603
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: the same issues that plagued them this Just this last week,

604
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: they lost it home to BYU. Against both Baylor and BYU,

605
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: Kansas's half court offense just could not deliver when they

606
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: needed it. They had no rhythm. They blew a twelve

607
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: point lead Tuesday, and against Baylor they resorted a hero

608
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: ball to try to win it in the end. What

609
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: happened to their offense? So every team has holes. I'm

610
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: not a fan of Creighton. I can't get I can't

611
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: unsee what happened here in Las Vegas when UNLV pushed

612
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: them around and ran them off the floor. I doubt

613
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: UNOV even gets a bid, even though there'll be four

614
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: or five Montwest bidds probably this year, you know. And

615
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: I'll give it up to Creighton. They look pretty good.

616
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: They knock off number five Marquette today. How can you

617
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 2: trust them to win six games in a row? Right? So,

618
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a very interesting tournament.

619
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: We will get into this much more in the next

620
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Look at Houston, they find a way

621
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: to win. Jamal Sheed a buzzer beater. Houston gets past

622
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma eighty seven, eighty five on the road, and that's

623
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: one of the things to me, that is the mark

624
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: of a great college basketball team. When you can win

625
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: on the road, you might not have your best stuff.

626
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't think Houston had their best stuff today and

627
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: they just have a winning DNA. They played great defense.

628
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: They've always been a big Kelvin Sampson fan. You know,

629
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: Samson coached Oklahoma for twelve years, ranked second in program

630
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: history with two hundred and seventy nine wins. So that's

631
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: a big win for Kelvin Sampson to go in and

632
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: do that. It's never easy, but it'll be a lot

633
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: of fun coming up here. What might not be so

634
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: much fun is the week ahead for Russell Wilson. He's

635
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: even mentioned that Russell Wilson that he wants to stay

636
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: with the Broncos. What are the chances of that happening. Well,

637
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: I'll share that coming up by the way, shortly after

638
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,400

Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Coming up top of the hour

652
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 2: midnight the Little Medina Magic Midnight NBA. As always, there

653
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: our headlines and we'll chop it up. Speaking of the headlines,

654
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's made some headlines recently. He even made the

655
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: statement just this past week he'd actually like to stay

656
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: in Denver. I would put Denver number one. That's where

657
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: I want to be because that's well, that's where I'm here.

658
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: Right now. You know you have the ability to compartmentalize.

659
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: It's a business. I want to win Super Bowls. I'd

660
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: like to be here. I love to win. B bah

661
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: bah bah. That sounds good, I guess if you're Russell Wilson.

662
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: But with all due respect, it's not realistic. Russell Wilson

663
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: has a thirty seven million dollars salary for twenty twenty five,

664
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: which is currently guaranteed for injury. It actually becomes fully

665
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: guaranteed on March seventeenth. So unless Russell Wilson agrees to

666
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: delay the vesting of the guarantee until after the twenty

667
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 2: twenty four season, the Broncos are gonna cut him. They'll

668
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: cut him before March seventeenth, and it's being reported he

669
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: may be cut this week before the twenty twenty five

670
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 2: salary fully guarantees. The Broncos haven't said it. They don't

671
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: need to look benched. The Broncos benched Russell Wilson for

672
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: Jared'stidham with two games to go. They still had a

673
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: freaking chance to make the playoffs. What does that tell you?

674
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: That says it all to me. Wilson apparently isn't a

675
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: guy who Sean Payton wants to give the keys to

676
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: the car to, wants to hitch his wagon to, wants

677
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 2: to build his offense around just the way it is now.

678
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is gonna collect thirty nine million dollars whether

679
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 2: he's a Bronco next year or not. But if he

680
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 2: was on the roster after March seventeen, he'd get an

681
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: extra thirty seven million. Sean Payton and the Broncos are

682
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: not going to donate an extra thirty seven million in

683
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: good money after thirty nine and bad That's just the

684
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: way they see it. And to the extent that you

685
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 2: ostensibly that you would have to mend fences between Russell

686
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: Wilson and Sean Payton and Russell Wilson the Broncos and things.

687
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 2: He said to Brandon Marshall on a podcast earlier this

688
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: last week. I don't think you can overcome that stuff.

689
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: It's my understanding. I didn't hear him say it out

690
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: of his lips, but it's been reported that what Russell

691
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: Wilson said was he wanted the Broncos to quote push

692
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: back my injury guarantee and remove it for the rest

693
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: of the year. So that way, if I get injured,

694
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: they don't have to pay it. That caused the Broncos

695
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: to cringe a little bit because that's not what they

696
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 2: wanted to do. They didn't want to take away his

697
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: injury guarantees. They wanted to delay the date on which

698
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: the injury guarantees would become full guarantees. That's what was reported.

699
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: So you have a wide castm between Russell Wilson and

700
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. It's pretty obvious they are not on

701
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 2: the same page. When you talk like that, that doesn't

702
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: help get the player and the team on the same page.

703
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson went on to say, quote, I didn't want

704
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 2: to send a precedent for players to remove their injury

705
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: guarantees too as well, Oh you're gonna take up the cause.

706
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: Why does Russell Wilson do this. I don't dislike Russell Wilson.

707
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 2: I'm not part of the group think echo chamber that

708
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,959
Speaker 2: looks to take shots at him. He won a Super Bowl,

709
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: could have easily won a second one. I think he's

710
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: a legacy secure but when he talks and his lips

711
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: start moving, you just feel like he's got all the

712
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: credibility of a dermatologist with acne. You cringe a little

713
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: bit every time he talks. Right. The Broncos, it's my understanding,

714
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: are also taking issue with Russell Wilson's claim that the

715
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: NFL decided it was quote illegal for the Broncos to

716
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: ask Wilson to delay the vesting of his injury guarantees

717
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: to full guarantee. The Broncos said the NFL did no

718
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: such thing illegal. What do you need to call the

719
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: cops now? So, I think at least what Russell Wilson

720
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 2: says he wants to unofficially, he has to know that's

721
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 2: not happening. He'll be released, it might be as soon

722
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: as this week. Then he'll be able to sign with

723
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: any other team for the league minimum of one point

724
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: two million, and the Broncos, well, they'll take the salary

725
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: cap hit. I think he's got gas in the tank.

726
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 2: I think you get help the Bears. I think you

727
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: get help the Steelers. I think you get help the

728
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: Falcons more so than justin fields. But that's just my opinion.

729
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, good luck. When as far as the Denver

730
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: Broncos go, we hardly ever knew ye coming up. Mark

Speaker 2: Frattle Show to catch us up to date on the

745
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 2: latest in the NBA. Mark how are you tonight.

746
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 8: I'm doing well. To your point that there's never a

747
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 8: shortage of storylines, it never. It always seems like that

748
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 8: there's a new record that Lebron James breaks. It's just

749
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 8: a while that he keeps adding to his extensive resume.

750
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: Well, and of course there's our segue. I don't even

751
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: think we need to spend a lot of time on this,

752
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: but he did aclipse forty thousand points and so look,

753
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra once said, there's something to be said about longevity,

754
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: and Lebron's longevity is netted big numbers.

755
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 8: Yeah. And I think the ironic part, as we talked

756
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 8: about when he was about to break Kareem of Georgia

757
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 8: Bar's record last season, is he's not a score first player.

758
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 8: He's always been about assists and making the right play,

759
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 8: you know, and sometimes he would get criticized for that,

760
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 8: but he still has a lot of strong scoring instincts.

761
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 8: He's had a lot of longevity, and he's really talented.

762
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 8: And I think, you know, when you're looking at the

763
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 8: big picture of this, I can't help but wonder about

764
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 8: how long this record's going to stay intact. I mean,

765
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 8: I wouldn't say that it's unbreakable, because I do believe

766
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 8: the whole adage of records are meant to be broken.

767
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 8: But in today's NBA, you know, modern offenses are catching

768
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 8: up and players are playing longer because of you know,

769
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 8: sports medicine. But he's going to create so much separation.

770
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 8: He's almost over two k over Kareem, and you know,

771
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 8: he's going to have another contract after this summer, and

772
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 8: so I do wonder how long it's going to take

773
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 8: because I think the current NBA right now, there's no

774
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 8: player that's that can do it. Kevin Durant is the

775
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 8: ninth place, but he's way behind because of his injuries

776
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 8: he's had the last few years, most notably with his

777
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 8: achilles in the twenty eighteen nineteen season, you know, in

778
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 8: the NBA finals. But before that, Kareem actually told me

779
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 8: he thought Kevin Durant would do it. But you know,

780
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 8: injury is getting the way, and so you know, it's

781
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 8: hard for me to think of who's going to be

782
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 8: the next person, even though it will happen way down

783
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 8: the line.

784
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: What about a guy like Luca who's twenty five and

785
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: he's already got eleven thousand points. Here's why I don't

786
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: think he will. Lebron spends a million dollars a year

787
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: taking care of his body. I think Luca's body is

788
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: not a temple, it's like it's it's like an I

789
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: think it's an amusement park. Right. He doesn't take care

790
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: of his body, and I think that's going to hurt

791
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: him later in his career but I think if he

792
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: if he wanted to, he could make a run.

793
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 8: Well he could, but he's even been on record saying

794
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 8: there's no way you would play it as long as

795
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 8: Lebron James has had and it's wild because we Lebron. Yeah,

796
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 8: he had, you know, some extra cushion that he was

797
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 8: one of the last few heigh players to jump in

798
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 8: the NBA before the one and donerals. He did have

799
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 8: a leg up. But while you know, father times knocked

800
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 8: on his door the last few seasons where he's missed

801
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 8: a chunk of games, he hasn't had season ending injuries

802
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 8: like what Kobe Bryant had toward the tail end of

803
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 8: his career. Same thing with Kevin Durant with his achilles.

804
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 8: And you know, I remember talking to Kareem a few

805
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 8: times about his record, and he was talking about his

806
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 8: longevity and how that helped. But the reality was he

807
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 8: played four years at UCLA and toward the tail end

808
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 8: of his career he was having a reduced role. Now,

809
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 8: maybe that happens with Lebron, but he's already eclipsed Kareem's

810
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 8: number of seasons because he's in his twenty first season

811
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 8: and right now as we speak, Lebron's still playing the

812
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 8: same kind of role that he's playing his prime, and

813
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 8: I would say it's somewhat of a stretch to say

814
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 8: he's playing the same way in his prime. He doesn't

815
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 8: play the same way, mostly defensively, with exception to the

816
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 8: last few games where he's taken on a bigger defensive

817
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 8: role almost by necessity. But he still has that power

818
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 8: game where he's driving to the rim. He's fundamentally sound player,

819
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 8: and his production is still, you know, in the mid twenties,

820
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 8: and that's in line with his career averages. So it's

821
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 8: just astounding when you break all that, all these things down.

822
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: You carried a weigh in on the Lebron Bronni y'all

823
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 2: let him be a kid being on the back behind.

824
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: I want him on the Lakers now because he can

825
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: help us right now. You want to weigh in on that.

826
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 8: I mean, look, I'm never going to criticize someone's like

827
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 8: parenting and as a dad, you're always going to be

828
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 8: a number one hype man. But from a basketball lens,

829
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 8: you can't help but see the double standard, like Lebron

830
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 8: contributed to the hype, not just because you know Bronni

831
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 8: was going to get that hype anyway, but he on

832
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 8: social media was talking him up, saying, hey, he's already

833
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 8: better than some guys in the league right now. So

834
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 8: I think that's where Lebron's not blameless. But everything else

835
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 8: look like. We can't criticize a parent being a parent

836
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 8: and a proud dad. But when it comes to the

837
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 8: professional lens, if he wasn't hyping his son up, then

838
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 8: I would have a little bit more sympathy. But I

839
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 8: think he created this on his own a little bit.

840
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: I will criticize him. I had a daughter's Division one athlete,

841
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: had five Division one soccer offers and played at UNOV,

842
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: and I have observed Lebron force feed this situation. I

843
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: don't think he would have gone to USC. But the

844
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: long and short of it is, we'll see where this

845
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: plays out. I'm going to make a bold prediction. You

846
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: can respond, and we'll get off of this. I think

847
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 2: it's a fifty to fifty possibility that Bronni is on

848
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers next year, does not have to be drafted

849
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: to be on the Lakers, and you'll get a two

850
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: way contract. Just a prediction from left field.

851
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 9: Your thoughts, Yeah, honestly, I think I think out of

852
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 9: respect for Bronni, like, why would he want to do

853
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 9: the G League route and do two way just to

854
00:45:59,120 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 9: play with his dad?

855
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 8: And right, like, there's no harm in playing an extra

856
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 8: year if he's not going.

857
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: To be a prospect Lebron's, it's not. Lebron is not

858
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 2: a patient man. By the way, do you think you'll

859
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: get a three year extension? I think you will.

860
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 8: I don't think three, but I want to be surprised

861
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 8: if it's more than one. I could see it too.

862
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 8: But look, I think in fairness to Lebron, even though

863
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 8: he's put out in the universe, that's a dream of

864
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 8: his to play with him. He has walked it back

865
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 8: a little, saying, you know, maybe this doesn't happen, maybe

866
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 8: he doesn't want it. That's fine. And so while no

867
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 8: one's you know, asked Brawny because he hasn't spoken to

868
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 8: reporters about it. Objectively speaking, I don't see what the

869
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 8: upside would be with playing with him beyond nostalgia. That's

870
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 8: cool for their son moment, Like you're you're undercutting your

871
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 8: own career just to create that moment when he might

872
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 8: not be ready to play in the NBA you know,

873
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 8: in fairness, there's still is time from now until the

874
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 8: NBA Draft where he can get already from teams. But

875
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 8: I think the writings on the wall, it's going to

876
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 8: be a long haul for the USC to even make

877
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 8: the NCAA tournament, let alone make a deeper run in

878
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 8: the Pack twelve tournament. So if I had a guess,

879
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 8: I think that this spy is cover for all sides,

880
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 8: that it's just better off that he goes for his

881
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 8: sophomore year. There's no weird awkwardness of how do the

882
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 8: Lakers say no to Lebron? And that's that, and then

883
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 8: Lebron can prioritize more of what's most important for his

884
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 8: own career when he's evaluating, you know, championships as well as,

885
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 8: you know, maximizing his earnings as opposed to trying to

886
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 8: force feed you know, this moment of playing with his sons.

887
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: Very logical, very pragmatic scenario you just laid out there, Mark,

888
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 2: And as far as Lebron walking it back, he's full

889
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 2: of crap. I'm not buying it for one minute. Let's

890
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: let's move on. We'll continue to watch this because when

891
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 2: we signed off last Saturday, I said, I was going

892
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: to pay particular attention to the Lakers because she had Phoenix,

893
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 2: she had the Clippers, and he had Denver and then

894
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 2: then squeezed in there. They had an overtime win against Washington.

895
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: So you get hammered by Phoenix, beaten by Denver. Denver

896
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 2: toyed with them til the fourth quarter. The game I

897
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: watched Wednesday night was the Clippers Lakers. The Clippers had

898
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 2: them down by twenty one without Paul George. Clippers were

899
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: coming off of back to back, Lakers had two days rest. Now,

900
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: get the Lakers credit for coming back, but who are

901
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 2: the real Lakers? Mark, because I don't know that this

902
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: team is going to do what last year's team did,

903
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: which means getting to a conference final. Especially and we're

904
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 2: gonna get to this in a second. It is a

905
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: really loaded West.

906
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, you hit on a great point, because Minnesota and

907
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 8: Oklahoma City is not now only the new two members

908
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 8: of the playoff Pichher in the West, but they're in

909
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,959
Speaker 8: the contending mix. I think the way that you characterize

910
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 8: the Lakers with being up and down. They win against

911
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 8: good teams, they lose against good teams. That seems to

912
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 8: be the definition of a tough out in the first

913
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 8: round opponent. So I see them being like what Damian

914
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 8: Loward and CJ. McComb were with the Blazers for most years,

915
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 8: where if teams had their preference, they want to want

916
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 8: to face them in the first round because they're a

917
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 8: tough matchup. Came the game and they could win, But

918
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 8: when you look at it through a seven game playoff series,

919
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 8: they don't have enough to actually advance past the first round.

920
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 8: So I look at it the same way with the Lakers,

921
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 8: same thing with the Warriors. Now you can't technically ever

922
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 8: rule anything out when you have Lebron and with the

923
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 8: Warriors you have Steph Curry on your team. But back

924
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 8: to your word about being pragmatic, that's what I think

925
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 8: is going to happen. They'll make the playoffs, maybe as

926
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 8: a sixth seed, most likely as a playing the team

927
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 8: they'll get to the first round. They'll be a tough

928
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 8: out for whichever higher seed they face, but it's just

929
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 8: a competitive first round matchup, and that's.

930
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 2: A So you mentioned Oklahoma City in Minnesota duly noted,

931
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: but the team to me that might be most interesting

932
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 2: in the West is Dallas. When Luca and Kyrie are on,

933
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,959
Speaker 2: they're virtually unstoppable offensively, and they picked up a couple

934
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: of defensive helpers in the trade deadline. They're another team

935
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 2: in the mix. What do you see the finishing up?

936
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Mavericks are wild because obviously things start with

937
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 8: Luka Dontrich and Kyrie Irving, but they're defensively all over

938
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 8: the map here where they've seen. They've shown some games

939
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 8: both pre impost trade deadline that they're an elite defensive team,

940
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 8: and then games pre and posts that they're bad defensively

941
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 8: as they were last season. So yeah, I think that

942
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 8: they're better than being a player. I think they can

943
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 8: get past the first round, but I think eventually the

944
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 8: law of averages catches up to them, so I don't

945
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 8: put them in the same tier. If I have to

946
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 8: rank the Western Conference into tiers, I put the Clippers

947
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 8: and Nuggets is kind of one B and I'm interchanging

948
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 8: them so often because of how slim the margin for

949
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 8: error is. But if major injuries aren't in play here,

950
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 8: I give the nod to the Clippers just because their

951
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 8: talent's so great, their chemistry has been so good. But

952
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 8: obviously can't rule out the Nuggets because they got Nikola Jokic,

953
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 8: Jamal Murray, their championship corps. But I put that those

954
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 8: two teams in the first tier, and then the second

955
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 8: tier I put with Minnesota and Oklahoma City. I don't

956
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 8: think that they're going to be overwhelmed with quote unquote

957
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 8: playoff and experience, but I think that eventually it'll catch

958
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 8: up to them. But they don't have the same tactical

959
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 8: wherewithal that the Nuggets would obviously have because of their

960
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 8: experience and what the Clippers would have presuming how finally

961
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 8: isn't a major issue. And then all the other teams

962
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 8: when you're looking at Pelicans, Sons, Kings, Mavericks, Warriors, Lakers. A. Obviously,

963
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 8: health is a predominant variable in all those teams. But

964
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 8: B I think all the right things have to align

965
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 8: and play for either of those teams have a chance.

966
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 8: And I think because of that, it's asking a lot

967
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 8: to compete against those four other teams that I mentioned.

968
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: Now it's a good point. Mark, let me ask you

969
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 2: a question. Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic Friday, every

970
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,720
Speaker 2: Saturday midnight and the Bernie Frattle Show, would it surprise

971
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 2: you if the Lakers failed to get out of the

972
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 2: playing round, And I'm going to tell you why. I

973
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: say that they're twelve and nineteen on the road this year.

974
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 2: They're actually the only team of the four teams in

975
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: the playing around currently with Sacramento, Dallas and Golden State

976
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: ahead of them. Lakers are currently tenth that are under

977
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 2: five hundred on the road. Those other teams are actually

978
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 2: over five hundred on the road. I think that's problematic.

979
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: Would it surprise you if the Lakers fail to get

980
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 2: out of the playing round?

981
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 8: It would surprise me. I think a lot of that

982
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 8: road record. You have to keep in mind that even

983
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 8: though the Lakers should have been able to overcome these

984
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,479
Speaker 8: issues because they had continuity, for the idea they would

985
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 8: have depth to cover up for injuries. I think that

986
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 8: played the primary thing on the road struggles. I think

987
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 8: that as long as Ad and Lebron are available, they'll

988
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 8: win to play in tournament, whether they're home or on

989
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 8: the road. But back to my earlier point, I think

990
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 8: the ability to replicate that in a competitive playoff series

991
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 8: in the first round is just it's just hard for

992
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 8: me to fathom, just because you know, we've seen the

993
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 8: Lakers be up and down all season. Even though Lebron

994
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 8: and ad have played at a high level.

995
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: So the last thing for me, Mark, we look to

996
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: the East. Boston's won ten in a row. They look

997
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 2: fairly well invincible. But is anybody paying attention to the

998
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 2: Cleveland Calves in the last two and a half months.

999
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 2: They're twenty three and five best mark in the NBA.

1000
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 2: They've climbed seven spots into second place, and if you

1001
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 2: watch this team play, they look really good to me. Now,

1002
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 2: how does that translate to the Eastern Conference playoffs?

1003
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, to be sleeping on the Cleveland Cavaliers because

1004
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 8: they've been playing really well season. Now, ironically, the Bucks

1005
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 8: are finally kicking in the gear with a five game

1006
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 8: winning streak, so two and three could go neck and neck,

1007
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 8: but they're very much in the mix. I have the

1008
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 8: Celtics getting to the finals, probably winning the championship, and

1009
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 8: their separation between them and the rest of the East.

1010
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 8: The numbers speak for themselves. They have an eight game

1011
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 8: cushion right now for first place in the Eastern Conference.

1012
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 8: They really haven't dropped off at all during the season, so,

1013
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 8: you know, presuming the caveats I've been mentioned all before

1014
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 8: with health, most notably with Porzingis, given his injury history

1015
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 8: isn't a variable. They're gained the NBA Finals, but I

1016
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 8: think when you're looking at the rest of the field,

1017
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 8: Cleveland certainly could advance further than Milwaukee because they've just

1018
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 8: had better chemistry, better consistency. And I think it's really

1019
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 8: telling that, even though that there are some overlapping injuries

1020
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 8: with Jared Allen and Darius Starland throughout the beginning of

1021
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 8: the season, Donovan Mitchell was playing at such a high level.

1022
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 8: I don't want to say didn't matter, but you know

1023
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 8: they were able to overcome it because of his greatness

1024
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 8: and the fact that you know, they've been really cohesive

1025
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 8: on both ends of the floor. So yeah, you should

1026
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 8: be You shouldn't be overlooking them. They're the real deal.

1027
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 8: But I think when you're asking is that enough to

1028
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 8: be Boston, I think it's a capital letters n O.

1029
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 8: But in fairness, that's the entire recent conference.

1030
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 2: I want to squeeze in one last thing. Alan Iverson

1031
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 2: got a statue in Philadelphia. I'm happy for him. Your

1032
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 2: thoughts on that ordeal, Yeah, I mean.

1033
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 8: Well deserved. He's one of the greatest sixer players of

1034
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 8: all time. And even though he didn't win a championship there.

1035
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 8: I think that had more to do with claud rosters

1036
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 8: around him than because of him. I mean the fact

1037
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 8: that they were able to get a game one win

1038
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 8: against the Lakers and that two thousand thousand finals ye

1039
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 8: in a testament because that Laker team's loaded. You got Shack,

1040
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 8: you got Kobe, you have such a great supporting cast

1041
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 8: of depth. And when they've won that first game, you know,

1042
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 8: I remember, you know this is my I'm in high

1043
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 8: school at this point, but I remember thinking, Okay, the

1044
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 8: Lakers are going to still win this series because of

1045
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 8: all the reasons I mentioned, But I'm not surprised that

1046
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 8: they won because Allen Iverson was just such a great

1047
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 8: player and was able to carry his team on a

1048
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 8: night tonight basis.

1049
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 2: Actually, Mark, I have to tweeze in one more. I'd

1050
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: be remiss if I didn't talk about the matchup between

1051
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 2: Wemby and Jeff Holgrim earlier in the week, and I

1052
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 2: have to give the nod to Wemby. Does that pretty

1053
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 2: much seal Rookie of the Year honest? For Wemby, Well,

1054
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 2: it certainly helps.

1055
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 8: I don't think it seals it only because I know

1056
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 8: voters might want to reward hut Holme Grin for being

1057
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 8: on winning team, and it's a really tough thing to

1058
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 8: measure because you want to you want to reward a

1059
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 8: player that's helping contribute to winning. And even though Victor

1060
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 8: Webbin Yama is clearly on a team that has bad players,

1061
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 8: it is a little head scratching that they're on pace

1062
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 8: not to at least have more wins, and they were

1063
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 8: last season when they were still you know, in the

1064
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 8: lottery basement. But I think you also can do this

1065
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 8: thought exercise that sometimes voters think, Okay, what's this player's

1066
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 8: direct impact on winning? How about if you remove that player,

1067
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 8: how many more losses that team would have?

1068
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 6: Even more?

1069
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 8: And as bad as the Spurs have been this season,

1070
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 8: you could argue, I could even think that they would

1071
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 8: even win a game or two with how bad that

1072
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 8: roster is. So it's going to go neck and neck.

1073
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 8: But that had to head matchup is certainly important. But

1074
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 8: it's one of many variables that I presume voters will

1075
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 8: be weigh. And when you're looking at individual greatness had

1076
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 8: to head matchups as well as win loss.

1077
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: Records, again, your pragmatism roars to the forefront. I think

1078
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: a lot of times, Mark, I hate to say this,

1079
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 2: it could become a popularity contest as well. This might

1080
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 2: be one of those years because of the block shots.

1081
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 2: And I think people like Wimby. I like the cut

1082
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 2: of his jib, right, he seems like a good dude.

1083
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think when it comes to popularity contest,

1084
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 8: I think the fascinating thing is both of these guys

1085
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 8: are checking the box.

1086
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 7: With that.

1087
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 8: You have Chuck Holmgren coming off an injury getting a

1088
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 8: lot of blocks, highlight reels. Wemby he's hyped as the

1089
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 8: number one player, he has an international following, he's fine

1090
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 8: with the Spurs under coach Greg Popovic. He's a highlight

1091
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 8: reel with his blocks. So it's not like we're debating,

1092
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 8: you know, a very popular player and a divisive player.

1093
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 8: But I guess if I had to pick a winner

1094
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 8: as far as who's more popular, it's probably Wemby because

1095
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 8: you know, he inherited a lot of hype his rookie season,

1096
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 8: where Chut Holmgern he's technically a rookie, but he missed

1097
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 8: his actual rookie season with injuries.

1098
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 2: And of course Wenby forty seven blocks in February. That's

1099
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 2: more than seventeen NBA teams by themselves. Great stuff is

1100
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 2: always Mark. We'll catch you next week.

1101
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 8: Man, all right, I appreciate you.

Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to Andy Russell. I'll explain why. I'm Bernie

1111
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 2: Coming up in a bit. I'm gonna get to the

1112
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams charade. I'm a little put off by his

1113
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: arrogance and maybe he'll win in the NFL, maybe he won't.

1114
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: I will share with you that you know, it's not

1115
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: easy being the number one pick overall. I wish him

1116
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 2: Noel will but whatever he's doing now, he better followed

1117
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 2: up with performance in a National Football League. I was

1118
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 2: very moved by c j. Stroud and his humility when

1119
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 2: he was drafted, and it reminded me today of a

1120
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: gentleman Ugh. Pittsburgh Steeler fans will certainly remember Andy Russell.

1121
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: Andy Russell was a legend middle linebacker twelve seasons with

1122
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh between Jack Ham and Jack Lambert. He's not talked

1123
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 2: about a lot, but he should be. When Chuck Noele

1124
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 2: and the legendary Chuck Nole took over the Pittsburgh Steelers

1125
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty nine, he got rid of most of

1126
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 2: the team, but he kept Andy Russell. He was intrigued

1127
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 2: him by him. And there's a story. He walked up

1128
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 2: to Andy Russell before this first practices, so only see

1129
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: your stance. Russell got in a stance and Coach Knowle said,

1130
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: I want you to move your back foot over two

1131
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: inches and your right foot forward one inch. Russell thought

1132
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: he was nuts, but he did it, and you know what.

1133
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 2: He went on to have seven Pro Bowl seasons. He

1134
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 2: was a sixteenth round pick in nineteen sixty three, played

1135
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 2: twelve seasons with Pittsburgh. He was the MVP in nineteen

1136
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 2: seventy one. That was a team loaded. Andy had a

1137
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 2: very successful career in business after playing for the Steelers.

1138
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is his father did not want him

1139
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: to play in the NFL. Two way starter at Missouri.

1140
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 2: But his father says, if you play in the NFL,

1141
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 2: you'll be an embarrassment to the family. I want you

1142
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: to go get your NBA and follow a career in business.

1143
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: Russell was gonna do it. NFL team sent him a

1144
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 2: questionnaire and asked him if he wanted to play professional football.

1145
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: He checked the box no. The Steelers didn't pay attention.

1146
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: They drafted him in the sixteenth round. Russell said, Okay,

1147
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 2: I'll take the contract. I'll take the one year money

1148
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 2: and the signing bonus, and then I'll pursue my NBA.

1149
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 2: But an injury to a linebacker by the name of

1150
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: John Reger and the season opener, Russell entered the lineup

1151
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: and he never left. You talk about luck. If it

1152
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: hadn't happened, he wouldn't have played one year. He would

1153
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 2: have got his NBA and gone into business. But he

1154
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 2: got a Enroman's break humility. We're gonna come back to

1155
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 2: that a little bit later in the show coming out

1156

Speaker 2: what have you got for us tonight?

1207
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 7: I got a story man that really opened the door

1208
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 7: to why I am the football fan that I am.

1209
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 6: Everybody that knows DJ burning Husky, the big Vanilla.

1210
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 7: Fuddy knows that football is my statement other than God

1211
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 7: and my children. Football is right there.

1212
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 6: And if my kids don't.

1213
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 7: Put me in a good retirement home, they're gonna fall

1214
01:04:58,800 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 7: behind football.

1215
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 6: Before I go on the glory.

1216
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 7: Let me tell you why though. The very first football

1217
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 7: team I ever played for was called the Lee Francony

1218
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 7: or Wolverine back in nineteen eighty six. The reason why

1219
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 7: that's so important to me because I'm a guy who

1220
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 7: feels like I'm attached Bernie to my favorite teams, like

1221
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 7: I'm part of the team. I may not be on

1222
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 7: the Rocksters, but I'm part of the team, and I'm

1223
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 7: part of certain coaches and certain players. The reason why

1224
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 7: this is important because a certain coaches in the NFL

1225
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 7: right now And that same year, at nineteen eighty six,

1226
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 7: he won Big Ten Player of the Year for my

1227
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 7: be love defending reigning undisputed National Football champion Michigan Wild

1228
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 7: Range and win eleven and one. That year was highest

1229
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 7: ranking number two to start the season and finished at

1230
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 7: number four. The very first football game I ever watched,

1231
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 7: college game I ever watched my life, was that Michigan

1232
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 7: team go into South bitt and beat Order Dame twenty

1233
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 7: four to twenty three, and I was in love with

1234
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 7: this team. I was in love with the quarterback. That

1235
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 7: quarterback has been a did by the Chicago Bears in

1236
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 7: the first round twenty six overall in nineteen eighty seven.

1237
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 7: Now let me tell you why this is so significant

1238
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 7: to me. My first NFL football game, my stepfather, Glen Thomas,

1239
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 7: took me to old RFK Stadium where the Commanders now

1240
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 7: but then the Washington Redskins played. On December ninth, I

1241
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 7: went to my first game. It was against the Chicago Bears,

1242
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 7: who was their quarterback that exact same Big Ten player

1243
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 7: of the Year from Michigan in nineteen eighty six. They

1244
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 7: lost that game ten to nine. He was seventeen to

1245
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 7: thirty three for one eighty seven. He threw two picks

1246
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 7: and had two sacks, but he had six rushers for

1247
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 7: thirty yards. My introduction to USC football when I first

1248
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 7: moved to Los Angeles in two thousand and seven, was

1249
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 7: October sixth What happened that day USC gave up the

1250
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 7: biggest points spread loss came in Division One. They were

1251
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 7: plus forty and aine half and lost twenty four to

1252
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 7: twenty three to Stanford, who was head coached by said

1253
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 7: Chicago Bears quarter that's by said Big Ten Trophy winner

1254
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 7: player of the Year in nineteen eighty six, mister Jim

1255
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 7: James Jacob Harball aka Bernie You know. I called him

1256
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 7: Jimmy Burners. That was my first introduction to LA sports.

1257
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 7: I got the tickets from a guy who played.

1258
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 6: Special teams at Michigan who.

1259
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 7: Was a regional director for La Fitness, a company I

1260
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 7: was working for as a sales manager and a club

1261
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 7: manager at Long Beach, California, running one of those gyms.

1262
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 7: Now fast forward to after he was he left there,

1263
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 7: he gets the job in San Diego, gets the job

1264
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 7: at Stamford, but he also gets the San Francisco forty

1265
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 7: nine ers job. The reason why that means something to

1266
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 7: me because he drafted a linebacker that was a three

1267
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 7: top pro baller, four time All Pro, by the name

1268
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 7: of Navarro Bowman. If you guys remember that study on Becker,

1269
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 7: why that's important to me. Mister Navarre Bowman played AAU

1270
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 7: basketball in the Northern Virginia area with my nephew Kendall Marshall,

1271
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 7: who played point guarded University of North Carolina and also

1272
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 7: played for Los Angeles Pro Sports team, the Los Angeles Lakers.

1273
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 7: For those of you who don't know, Navara Bawlman is

1274
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 7: from District Heights, Maryland. Went to Suitland High School. That

1275
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 7: same guy that coach goes to Michigan, where he stays

1276
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 7: and rejuvenates the program that I first started loving in

1277
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 7: nineteen eighty six with players from my home state by

1278
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 7: the name of Blake gorm, Matthew Hbner, Jalen Hoffman, Evan Linked,

1279
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 7: Brandon Hillman, and Quinton Johnson's all Virginia born and bred

1280
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 7: high school players recruited to the University of Michigan to

1281
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 7: go to three straight.

1282
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 6: Big Ten championships. Only coach that's ever done that.

1283
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 7: Three straight college football playoffs, only head coach that's ever

1284
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 7: done that college football history.

1285
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 4: So he win the.

1286
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 7: Championship there and then he leaves, and when does he go? Bernie,

1287
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 7: he takes the charge of job in Los Angeles. Where

1288
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 7: do I live right now?

1289
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 6: Los Angeles, California.

1290
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 7: I just got to sign my first NFL job for

1291
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 7: training camp to cover a team. Who might that be

1292
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 7: the Los Angeles Chargers.

1293
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 6: Who is their coach?

1294
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 7: My man, mister Jim Jimmy Burgers Harball. I get to

1295
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 7: watch the coach that was the quarterback of Michigan, the

1296
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 7: same mascot for the first football team I ever played for,

1297
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 7: for my very.

1298
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 6: First NFL job.

1299
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 7: Needless to say, mister Jim Harball and the Big Vanilla Funny.

1300
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 7: We shared a lot of first together that they ain't

1301
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 7: gonna stop here. Baby, I'm connected to the Michigan program.

1302
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 7: I'm connected to my man, mister Jim Harball. They're going

1303
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 7: to the playoffs this year. He's gonna do great things

1304
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 7: for the Chargers.

1305
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I love the circle of life.

1306
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 2: And I remember that game Stanford USC is the forty

1307
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 2: point favorite back in oh seven. Do you remember the

1308
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 2: handshake afterward when Pete Carroll said what's your deal? And

1309
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 2: James Joseph Arball said what's your deal? And he's sure

1310
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 2: you remember that?

1311
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 7: Yes, Hey, better handshake than that. Remember when San Francisco

1312
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 7: was just getting their mojo and people weren't really quite believers.

1313
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 7: They go into Detroit, that's favorite. Remember the handshaking, a

1314
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 7: slap on the back.

1315
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 2: But Jim Schwartz tried to chase him down the field.

1316
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 7: Yes, between him and Schwartz and the player got involved

1317
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 7: and he chased them. Hallball just brings that energy that

1318
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 7: other people wish they had, and you think you could

1319
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 7: beat the man, And when you can't beat the man,

1320
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 7: everybody sees the pal included mister snitch. Oh, I mean,

1321
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 7: excuse me, mister Nick Saban and he goes to the

1322
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 7: lake on his rocking chair. Now we're going to go

1323
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 7: in Estan and tell us all how bad college football

1324
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 7: is because he can't control it anymore.

1325
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 2: By the way, navora bowlman, a tremendously physical linebacker, got

1326
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 2: himself a best coaching job in the National Football League.

1327
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 6: Now, oh, by the way, yes he did.

1328
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 7: He is now the linebackers coach for who those Los

1329
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 7: Angeles charges?

1330
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 2: Who are there?

1331
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 8: You go who?

1332
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 6: Mister James Jim well.

1333
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,560
Speaker 2: As Yogi Bert would say, VJ, we have different similarities.

1334
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 2: I know. When coach Haarbaub approached coach bull Back in

1335
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:19,640
Speaker 2: the mid eighties, he said, Coach, I want to be

1336
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 2: a head coach some day, he said, Jim, promise me

1337
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 2: you'll always have a fullback. So anyway, great stuff, j

Speaker 2: an Olympics type competition in which athletes are actively encouraged

1376
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: to use performance enhancing drugs. He is calling him the

1377
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Enhanced Games. And he's got other investors behind him too,

1378
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 2: and I think he really wants to pull this off now.

1379
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 2: The concept, which by the way, is frankly a takeoff

1380
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 2: from a skit I think Saturday Night Live did years

1381
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 2: ago in the Advanced Games. So the reason is is

1382
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 2: because he believes there's a significant gap between the number

1383
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 2: of athletes who say they use peds and the actual

1384
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 2: number who are actually caught and testing. So, rather than

1385
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 2: continue on this path, this charade, why not just put

1386
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 2: it all out there in the open, bring it out

1387
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 2: of the shadows, open up the window, clear the smoke

1388
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 2: out of the room, and say, what the hell, take

1389
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 2: all the peds you want, and let's go ahead and

1390
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 2: have a competition. Why not champion those drugs, let's let's

1391
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 2: let's why not test the boundaries of human performance and

1392
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 2: maybe along the way we'll even counter affect the effects

1393
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 2: of agent or counter the effects of agent. Excuse me, So,

1394
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 2: a gentleman by the name of Aaron Desuzo, who's the

1395
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 2: Enhanced Games President, his quarter to saying, the Enhanced Games

1396
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 2: is renovating the Olympic model for the twenty first century.

1397
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 2: In the era of accelerating technological and scientific change, the

1398
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 2: world needs a sporting event that embraces the future, particularly

1399
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 2: advances in medical science. Now, this effort would feature competition

1400
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 2: in combat sports, gymnastics, I mean combat, you know, we're wrestling, boxing,

1401
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, right, Gymnastics, swimming, track and field, weightlifting.

1402
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 2: But obviously there are serious questions. Right, like any other

1403
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 2: startup sports league, the enhanced Games. We're all, you know,

1404
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 2: where do they find? Where do they elbow their way

1405
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 2: in and find their niche in an already extremely oversaturated,

1406
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 2: crowded market for sports competition? How do you do that?

1407
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 2: How do you get the fans attention? How do you

1408
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 2: get TV attention? Now? They do have a business plan

1409
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 2: that calls for competing at Division one college facilities as

1410
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 2: opposed to building new infrastructure, so at least there's that.

1411
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 2: But most directly though, the enhanced Games would challenge all

1412
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 2: existing laws around drug use, and it would really brush

1413
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 2: up against cultural standards that govern much of sports. So

1414
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 2: I'd really be curious as he with the US Anti

1415
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: Doping Agency would would say about this. I know that

1416
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 2: there's CEO Travis Tiger told CNN that he found this

1417
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 2: to be farcical and it would be illegal of many

1418
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 2: states and a dangerous clown show would not be a

1419
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 2: real sport. But that's where we're at now in twenty

1420
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 2: twenty four. Ian you Therebud, what would you think about

1421
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 2: an Olympics where you had to use peds.

1422
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,640
Speaker 10: I'm honestly all for it, I like I know, I

1423
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 10: as long as it doesn't become the norm overall, I

1424
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,600
Speaker 10: don't see the issue with one lead being devoted to

1425
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 10: just testing the you know, the limits of human capabilities,

1426
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 10: Like let's see, you know, how high we can jump,

1427
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 10: how fast we can run.

1428
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 11: I'm interested, I would watch.

1429
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 2: That's a pretty enlightening viewpoint. Kevin, we just got minimal

1430
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 2: time here.

1431
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 4: You want to weigh in on this, Yeah, I mean

1432
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 4: as a niche thing, I guess it's fine. I'm not

1433
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 4: sure I would be interested in having that become a

1434
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 4: normal thing regarding mainstream sports. But sure as a curiosity,

1435
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 4: I mean sure, why not as its own little independent thing?

1436
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 1: Why not?

1437
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 4: I mean, if everyone's all voluntarily agreeing to do it,

1438
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,759
Speaker 4: and they take various performance enhancing drugs, that's their choice,

1439
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 4: and I'm interested to see what it looks like.

1440
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 2: I agree with both of you, guys. I appreciate your candor.

1441
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you there's sort of an

1442
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 2: irony here, and that is how many times have we

1443
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 2: seen whether they're Olympic swimmers or Ben Johnson or various

1444
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 2: Olympic athletes. Uh, And I don't want to cast dispersions

1445
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 2: on any of them. Uh, you know, accomplish your record

1446
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 2: setting performance only to find out afterwards they fail the

1447
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: drug test. And of course we know obviously in the

1448
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 2: Baseball Hall of Fame they've shunned the Mark mcguires and

1449
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 2: the Barry Bonds and the Sammy Silsis and the Rafael

1450
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 2: Paul Merrows of the world for that very thing, even

1451
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 2: though it's presumed, presumed allegedly that they used those performance

1452
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 2: enhancing drugs. And yet look at the performances. So Mark

1453
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 2: Cuban said something about this year's ago, why not just

1454
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 2: let them go? You know, the people who don't don't

1455
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 2: want to do it, don't have to do it. The

1456
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 2: people that do can well for obvious reasons. We can't,

1457
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 2: but we all know. The bottom line is what's next?

1458
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 2: Keep it up. Listen to the Bernie Frattle Show Fox

1459
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Well that's rich. You heard the man, The

1460
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show. It just keeps rolling right along. My

1461
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 2: name is Bernie Frattle. We're come to you live from

1462
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:00,040
Speaker 2: the tarret dot com studios here in Las VENs. I

1463
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 2: guess Foxsports Radio. Tirac dot com. We'll help you get there.

1464

1466
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. Oh, you've probably heard me

1467
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 2: say it on this show a thousand times, and I

1468
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 2: believe it's one of the more accurate true axioms of life,

1469
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 2: and that is, it's not what happens to you, it's

1470
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 2: how you react. And as a matter of fact, I

1471
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 2: would say probably life is about ninety percent of how

1472
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 2: you react and only ten percent of what happens. One

1473
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 2: classic example I believe of grace under pressure for me

1474
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 2: will always be the incident that legendary heavyweight boxing champion

1475
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 2: Jack Johnson faced at the turn of the century. Last century.

1476
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 2: He was heavyweight champion of the world between I believe

1477
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 2: nineteen oh seven nineteen fourteen. The story goes like this.

1478
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 2: The year was nineteen twelve. Jack Johnson was speeding across

1479
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania on the way to a wedding and when he

1480
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 2: was pulled over by a police officer and his companion.

1481
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 2: His date was a white woman. Now imagine that you're

1482
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 2: during the height of Jim Crow, You're speeding down the

1483
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 2: road and you've got a white woman in your car.

1484
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 2: The police officer told Jack Johnson, I'm going to find

1485
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 2: you fifty dollars payable Now you imagine that fifty dollars

1486
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 2: cash in nineteen twelve, well, that equates to about sixteen

1487
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 2: hundred dollars in today's dollars. So how does the dignified

1488
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 2: world champion boxer Jack Johnson react to this? When he

1489
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 2: was a charismatic man, no stranger doing dignity, He simply

1490
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 2: coolly reached into his billfold handed the police officer a

1491
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 2: clean CRISP one hundred dollars bill the obstacles. I don't

1492
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 2: think you hurt me, said, I said, fifty dollars. Well,

1493
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 2: Jack Johnson replied, in about four hours, I'll be coming

1494
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 2: back this same way, and I'll be going about the

1495
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 2: same speed with a smile on his face. And with that,

1496
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 2: Jack Johnson was on his way. Life and sports are

1497
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 2: not about what happens. It's about how you react. How

1498
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 2: were the powers too could be going to react about

1499
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 2: this court storming situation. It's not over. You see in

1500
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 2: the wake of the court storming national saga, this irony

1501
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 2: is not lost on me. Fifty years ago, last month,

1502
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 2: more Dame broke UCLA's eighty eight game winning stream and

1503
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 2: the fans stormed the court. It was a jubilant situation.

1504
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 2: Spontaneous combustion. That's the way it used to be spontaneous.

1505
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 2: It was an automatic, non plan response to an expected victory,

1506
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 2: an emotional victory, as stored victory. Fifty years later, what's

1507
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 2: changed a lot? I think, Well, fans still rush the floor,

1508
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 2: but for an entirely different reason. Frankly, now I see

1509
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,639
Speaker 2: it as a self serving event, a brush with fame,

1510
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 2: a chance to go viral. Look at me, man, I

1511
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 2: got my selfie, I was there, I got my TikTok.

1512
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 2: I'm famous, at least I think I am. So will

1513
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 2: there be any solution anytime soon? I don't think so.

1514
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm not advocating they get rid of court storming. I

1515
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell you do. And I know

1516
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: exactly why there won't be a solution anytime soon, because

1517
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: everybody's more focused and too busy in winning arguments than

1518
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: actually finding solutions. So we've just got two weeks to

1519
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 2: go to selection Sunday and March manis will be and

1520
01:22:55,240 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 2: PONIS conference tournaments start next week. This Engulf's sports court

1521
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 2: storming debate, it's gonna be taking over, especially after the

1522
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 2: discord following Duke and Kyle Philipowski last week yes, he

1523
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 2: was injured. I see that in their quotes. He's okay,

1524
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 2: Wake Forest fans rushed the hardwood. They celebrated their eighty

1525
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 2: three seventy nine victory. Okay, they dodged the bullet. See.

1526
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 2: How can you cancel such a wonderful tradition? And I'm

1527
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 2: not saying you should, but remember there was a time

1528
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 2: when smoking on airplanes was normal. Fact, we once fought

1529
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 2: wars with a single shot rifle. The only thing constant

1530
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 2: in the world is changed. But in this matter, I

1531
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 2: think there's a real stalemate in the meantime. You know

1532
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 2: what the heck, no one ever really gets hurt, do they.

1533
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 2: I mean, the chances are one in a million unless

1534
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 2: it happens to you. Let's take a little walk down

1535
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: memory lane. All right, I'm sure you remember well Iowa State. Recently,

1536
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 2: they completed a big comeback from a twenty point deficit

1537
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: to beat their in state rival Iowa at Hilton Coliseum.

1538
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 2: Randy Peterson, a sportswriter for the Des Moines Register, was

1539
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 2: tripped by a female fan who was jumping in on

1540
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 2: the court storm. The collision fractured Peterson's tibia and fibula.

1541
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 2: He crashed down to the ground. His leg was placed

1542
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 2: in an air cast. Peterson was eventually removed from the

1543
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 2: court in the stretcher underwent surgery the next day. At

1544
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 2: first blush the incident, well, that provided ammunition for people

1545
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 2: who have long argued against these court storms, primarily for

1546
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 2: safety reasons. Of course, upon further review, the video evidence

1547
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 2: showed it was a fluke. Peterson really wasn't trampled as

1548
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 2: they initially reported. Rather, he was only tripped by a

1549
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 2: single person. That provided ammunition for the Come on, just

1550
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 2: let the kids have their fun, crowd. I guess things

1551
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 2: could have been worse, I get it, but they weren't.

1552
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 2: And when this happened, mini folks said, this topic is

1553
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 2: becoming tiresome. Oh I forgot to mention this happened. This

1554
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 2: event happened December fourteenth, twenty fifteen, nine years ago. You

1555
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 2: think this court storming thing is new? Guess again, but yeah,

1556
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 2: it's a one in a million shot to get hurt. Right, Well,

1557
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 2: could anybody ever really be seriously injured? But don't tell

1558
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 2: that to Joe Kay. Joe Kay was a six foot

1559
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 2: six high school valedatorian basketball star, volleyball star headed to Stanford.

1560
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: There's no question he had a tremendous future ahead of him.

1561
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 2: But after particular Again, this was a high school game

1562
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:55,799
Speaker 2: in too Sound, Arizona, between two rivalries. Case team lost

1563
01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 2: and the ensuing euphoria checked. His team won, and the

1564
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 2: school was so euphoric about the win, I don't know

1565
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 2: the significance. Fans stormed the court. And what's interesting is

1566
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 2: somehow Ka was thrown to the floor, suffered a torn

1567
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 2: coroate artery and a stroke, leaving paralyzed on his right side.

1568
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 2: This is not recent. This happened on February sixth, two

1569
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 2: thousand and four. In a moment, a memorable high school

1570
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 2: career came crashing down in the night. And Kay was

1571
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 2: not just any old kid. He was the state's top

1572
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 2: student of the year after the year a saxophone player

1573
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 2: scored perfect scores on his SAT. Three years later, Kay

1574
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 2: agreed to an outside the Line segment and he talked

1575
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 2: about his ordeal. He'd undergone eight months of rehab. He

1576
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:53,679
Speaker 2: basically had to he had to learn how to walk, talk, think,

1577
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 2: and he was paralyzed on the one side of his body.

1578
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:05,759
Speaker 2: Reactions to the wake Forest Duke situation, we're pretty robust.

1579
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 2: They arranged from Jay Billis, the former Duke player himself

1580
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 2: and an ESPN analyst, suggesting that court stormers should be arrested.

1581
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:22,679
Speaker 2: Oh my athletic check that. Alabama Athletic Director Greg Burns

1582
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 2: said home teams should have to forfeit the game now.

1583
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 2: Whether any more incidents happen over the next few weeks,

1584
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 2: or during March Badness, or at any time, policy changes

1585
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 2: are gonna be a major discussion at this point in

1586
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 2: the offseason. So what can schools do to prevent raucus

1587
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 2: college kids from just celebrating and having fun like college

1588
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 2: kids do. Maybe they've been hooked up to a blender

1589
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 2: all morning and all day, but they're gonna do what

1590
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:50,919
Speaker 2: they're gonna do. Monetary fines, other punishments from conference to conference,

1591
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 2: they've been implemented, but they don't make a difference. You

1592
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 2: don't believe me. Come on. There have been eleven rushing

1593
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 2: the floor, rushing the field incidents that resulted in substantial

1594
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 2: fines just in the last couple of years. Back in

1595
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,639
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, Bama was upset by Tennessee. The rest

1596
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 2: of the field. The balls were fined one hundred grand

1597
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 2: A couple weeks later, LSU beat Old Miss. The school

1598
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 2: was fined two hundred and fifty grand. Two weeks later,

1599
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 2: LSU beat Alabama's same thing, two hundred and fifty grand.

1600
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,679
Speaker 2: That's five hundred thousand dollars in fines for one school

1601
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 2: inside of two weeks. Did it change anything.

1602
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 5: No.

1603
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 2: Earlier this year twenty twenty three, the second week of

1604
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 2: the college football season, Missouri upset Kansas State. They were

1605
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 2: fined one hundred thousand dollars. Old Miss upset LSU a

1606
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 2: week later fined one hundred grand. Even on smaller scale,

1607
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 2: UCF back on January tenth to beat Kansas Central, Florida,

1608
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 2: they were fined twenty five grand. Now, I don't laugh

1609
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 2: at this one, but when Santa Clara beat Gonzaga January

1610
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 2: eleventh in college basketball earlier this year, they were fined

1611
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 2: a whopping five thousand dollars. South Carolina they upset Kentucky,

1612
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 2: and January twenty third, find one hundred grand. LSU they

1613
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 2: beat Kentucky. A month later, they were fined one hundred grand.

1614
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 2: You see a pattern here. That's at least six hundred

1615
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in fines to LSU alone. Has it changed

1616
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:23,639
Speaker 2: anything in the two most recent instances of court stormers

1617
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 2: that put players at notable risk. No finals were given out.

1618
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 2: See the ACC does not have a policy for court

1619
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 2: storming fines. So Wake Forest was let off the hook

1620
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 2: in their game against Duke three weeks ago. And by

1621
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,639
Speaker 2: the way, these two teams teed up here in about

1622
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 2: nine hours. On the women's side, Ohio State will visit Iowa,

1623
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:49,719
Speaker 2: but recently Iowa played at Ohio State. Ohio State upset

1624
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 2: the Hawkeyes and they rushed the floor. A fan bumped

1625
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,719
Speaker 2: into Caitlin Clark while rushing the court after the game,

1626
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 2: you know, in which Ohio State won. That said kayl

1627
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 2: and Clark on a whirling dervish. But nothing happened because

1628
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 2: the Big ten doesn't fine until the third offense. So

1629
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 2: what's the solution? Is there a solution coming up? I

1630
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 2: want to bring in the crew. I want to talk

1631
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 2: to Ian, I want to talk to Kevin Wyartt. We'll

1632
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 2: talk to Mark Ramsey as well. What do you do?

1633
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 2: I am not suggesting that U kay bosh. What has

1634
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 2: become spontaneous combustion and a good tradition, at least it

1635
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 2: used to be that way. And I will tell you

1636
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 2: so for seven years I did a show here in

1637
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 2: Las Vegas called Rebel Extra. It was the pre and

1638
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 2: post game show for UNV running Rebel Basketball. Did it

1639
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: from twenty eleven to twenty eighteen. Well back on December

1640
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,919
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, like three days before Christmas. Number one Arizona

1641
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 2: Wildcats came to town, coached by Sean Miller. UNLV upset

1642
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 2: them on the floor that night, and it took to

1643
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 2: the very end of the game. Stanley Johnson, a player

1644
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 2: from modern day who's playing for Arizona, missed de lay

1645
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 2: up at the end of the game, which would have

1646
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 2: won a Arizona But when that ball didn't go in

1647
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 2: the hoop and ULW won and the fans realized what

1648
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,720
Speaker 2: had just happened, they stormed the court. I remember, I

1649
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 2: didn't storm the court. I was a press row I

1650
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 2: do that, but I remember. I can't lie. I remember it.

1651
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:22,599
Speaker 2: It was cool, it was unbelievable. It was spontaneous combustion

1652
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 2: over an unexpected victory and a number one nationally ranked

1653
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 2: team or Arizona might have been ranked to whatever. You

1654
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 2: get the picture. So I don't know what you do,

1655
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 2: but I do know this. This is not a new

1656
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,479
Speaker 2: subject matter. And people have been seriously hurt. What happened

1657
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 2: to be a high school kid? What happened to be

1658
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 2: a journalist? So is it going to take someone like

1659
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 2: a big time current player or it may affect his

1660
01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,560
Speaker 2: future earnings as an NBA player. What if Kyle Philipowski

1661
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 2: do had been seriously hurt or broken a bone or

1662
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 2: missed the rest of the season and herd Duke's chances

1663
01:31:56,520 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 2: in the tournament? Now, what conversation are we having. We'll

1664
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 2: have the conversation with the crew coming up. I want

1665
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:04,599
Speaker 2: to remind everybody because I want to welcome our new affiliate,

01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio coming to you live

1676
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:39,679
Speaker 2: from thee Tirac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

1677
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 2: We'll forget coming up at about thirty eight minutes, the

1678
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 2: dance sensations sweeping the nation, brand new editions, fresh editions

1679
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 2: of what kind of brand new fool you followed by

1680
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 2: what my name? In the meantime, I promise you this

1681
01:32:55,560 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 2: court storming saga debate is not going away any time soon.

1682
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 2: I just gave you a historical perspective. But what do

1683
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 2: you do? So, Kevin, let's start with you. You've observed

1684
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:12,120
Speaker 2: the court storming recently, the Cap Clark situation, the Kyle

1685
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 2: Philipowski situations. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

1686
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,839
Speaker 2: First of all, what's your impression of the ale court storming?

1687
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:20,879
Speaker 2: You know idea?

1688
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 4: Well, I think it is a part of what makes

1689
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:28,640
Speaker 4: college sports, especially a football and basketball, so special and

1690
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 4: so captivating, is the fact that you have the entire

1691
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 4: student body behind their athletic teams, and when a big

1692
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:39,519
Speaker 4: win happens, the student body rushes the court or the

1693
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,560
Speaker 4: field to celebrate with their classmates. And I think that

1694
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 4: was one of the appealing parts of watching college sports.

1695
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:49,680
Speaker 4: But of course you got to balance it with the

1696
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:53,640
Speaker 4: fact that you know, we've seen it with Kyle Philipowski

1697
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:58,839
Speaker 4: getting his ankle sprained running into someone who was storming

1698
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 4: the court, So we got I wonder, Okay, at what

1699
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 4: point does the injury become too bad? Does it become

1700
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 4: too unsafe for it to be allowed to happen again?

1701
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 4: And I guess that's the question really that we all

1702
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 4: have to ask ourselves, because I think ninety nine percent

1703
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 4: of the time it's harmless fun. But you never know

1704
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 4: what can have, especially in today's day and age, what

1705
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:21,920
Speaker 4: a crazy person could possibly do. And you know, there's

1706
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:24,799
Speaker 4: a point to where you got to take people's safety

1707
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,719
Speaker 4: into consideration. And I just don't know where the line

1708
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 4: is on that. But I do enjoy the court storming

1709
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 4: as part of a college athletics. I just I just

1710
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 4: don't know at what point it becomes too unsafe. So

1711
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 4: that's how I feel.

1712
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. We're dancing along the line here.

1713
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:45,559
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark could have been hurt three weeks ago. She wasn't.

1714
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:48,720
Speaker 2: Kyle Philipowski, I told the story about the journalists and

1715
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 2: the high school player paralyzed. Do you think the NCAA

1716
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:55,640
Speaker 2: will do anything above and beyond what they've tried to

1717
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 2: do because the fines aren't working.

1718
01:34:57,960 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't think it'll be the

1719
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 4: end AA that does anything about it outside of, you know,

1720
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 4: piling on top of something that other individual conferences.

1721
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the Big ten and the SEC have no policy.

1722
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,600
Speaker 2: But the SEC has a policy to find but but

1723
01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 2: actually should say the Big ten, I think you have

1724
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,400
Speaker 2: to have a third offense. But the point is, even

1725
01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 2: the conferences that have established pretty substantial finds, it's not working.

1726
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again I don't know exactly what what what

1727
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 4: is to be done there. My attitude is is that

1728
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 4: it's it's all good, been fun until someone gets hurt.

1729
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 4: But if someone gets hurt, then you hold the people

1730
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 4: responsible for that injury. Where you hold them responsible for

1731
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 4: causing that injury, whether it'd be by the school, by

1732
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 4: law enforcement, what have you. So I think at least

1733
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 4: as long as it seems to be harmless fun, I

1734
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 4: don't really have an issue with it. Again, it just

1735
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 4: the question is at what point does across the line?

1736
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 4: And I think until we get there.

1737
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 2: You know, there have been over the years where goal

1738
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:04,680
Speaker 2: polls coming down crashed down people's heads, people have gotten hurt.

1739
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, thanks Kevin your thoughts.

1740
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 10: You Yeah, I mean it's a tough issue because the

1741
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 10: bottom line is that it's this great fun part of

1742
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,400
Speaker 10: college athletics that you don't really get at any other level.

1743
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 10: But the bottom line is it's dangerous and it's not

1744
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:26,639
Speaker 10: like this is some freak accident, like we can already

1745
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 10: point to multiple instances, obviously Kyle Philipowski and Caitlin Clark,

1746
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 10: and then also the poor kid who got paralyzed in

1747
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 10: the story that you told Bernie to me. The bottom

1748
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 10: line is that it's a hazard and that alone means

1749
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,760
Speaker 10: it it needs to be gotten rid of. And I

1750
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,240
Speaker 10: get that it's this big part of college sports, but

1751
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 10: when someone can legitimately get hurt and to the point

1752
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 10: where it can affect the team's season just for the

1753
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:58,200
Speaker 10: sake of a fun moment for the students, I just

1754
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:00,120
Speaker 10: you know, it's something that you can take away and

1755
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 10: there will be some outrage at first, but but it's

1756
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:05,559
Speaker 10: not something we would miss that much at the end

1757
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 10: of the day in my opinion.

1758
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, as I have observed years ago, it

1759
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,760
Speaker 2: was spontaneous combustion. You didn't plan. It was like, oh

1760
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 2: my god, look what just happened. And now it feels

1761
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 2: like it's more planned. And then this day and age

1762
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 2: of cell phones, selfies, TikTok, look at me, I want

1763
01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 2: my five minutes of fame, whatever the case may be,

1764
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 2: it's more of a contrivance. Now, it's more of a

1765
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 2: self serving, planned event where it's a situation where it's

1766
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 2: more about me than it is about actually celebrating the team.

1767
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, your thoughts on this matter.

1768
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 12: Well, I'm thinking there's you know, since generally no one

1769
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:51,759
Speaker 12: has given an answer, I'll just ask a bunch of questions.

1770
01:37:52,840 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 12: It seems like it's college and what what may seem

1771
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 12: like fun is not always the best thing for you.

1772
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 12: And when it comes to excitement at a game and

1773
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:13,560
Speaker 12: you want to storm the field, the common denominator is

1774
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:18,559
Speaker 12: like security keeping people from you know, running onto the field.

1775
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 12: My only thing is that I'm going to compare, which

1776
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:25,600
Speaker 12: I might not be able to compare. When the Raptors

1777
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 12: beat the seventy six ers in a professional game, no

1778
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:33,640
Speaker 12: one stormed, you know, stormed on the court. And when

1779
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 12: when a Laker game ends, and when the Lakers win,

1780
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 12: people don't storm the court. So the difference is it's

1781
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 12: allowed in college for the kids to be so excited

1782
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 12: that they think it's fun to run on the field,

1783
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:50,800
Speaker 12: where professional games you're not allowed to do it. They're

1784
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,920
Speaker 12: security and you're not allowed to So you shouldn't be

1785
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 12: allowed to storm the field because we have history of

1786
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 12: peace getting hurt and until something. Why do we have

1787
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 12: to wait until more tragedy happens to people?

1788
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, some's got to be done. I agree, because they're

1789
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 2: they're playing with fire and I like that. You make

1790
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 2: the distinction between professional sports and college sports.

1791
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 11: Come on, so I'm excited too.

1792
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 4: They could have run on the on the court.

1793
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 2: Well, Mark, I'm sure you listen. How many times have

1794
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 2: people seen and we're coming up now on fifty years.

1795
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 2: You can believe In April eighth, nineteen seventy four, when

1796
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 2: Hank Aaron hit the seven hundred and fifteen to home

1797
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 2: runoff Al Downing against the Dodgers, fans rushed the field handful.

1798
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:44,600
Speaker 2: They were patting Hank Aaron on the back as you

1799
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 2: run on third base. Can you imagine that today getting

1800
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 2: on the field to be arrested, You me being serious trouble,

1801
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 2: but they've meant no harm. It was I think one

1802
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 2: of them was Craig Sager. You know, rest his soul.

1803
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 2: He's was a legend at CNN. And of course in

1804
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 2: nineteen seven tventy seven, when the Yankees beat the Dodgers

1805
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 2: in the World Series, Reggie hit the three home runs.

1806
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 2: The fans rushed the field, tore the place up, and

1807
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 2: of course, oh, we're.

1808
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 12: Just hit the home run for Boston and people are

1809
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 12: storming to He was knocking people down on the way.

1810
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 2: That's right, another great visual, Reggie Jackson one of the

1811
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 2: all time open field runs. Just trying to get back

1812
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 2: to the dugout. But anyway, this is something we're gonna watch, guys,

1813
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 2: because we're two weeks away from selection Sunday, and I'm

1814
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,439
Speaker 2: mildly curious to see if Iowa takes it out on

1815
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State tomorrow and Caitlyn Clark gets the record, which

1816
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 2: he's going to she only needs eighteen points because of

1817
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 2: Ohio State rushed the floor when they beat Iowa. Might

1818
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 2: the fans rush the floor in part of the celebration

1819
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 2: for the record and maybe paying back Ohio State. Well,

1820
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 2: I guess we'll know here in about ten hours or so.

1821
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 2: Coming up, the NFL and the players. They have another

1822
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 2: one of those rankings best worst among the NFL, one

1823
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 2: of those confidential rankings. I think you get a kick

1824
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 2: out of this. Some of the answers really surprised me

1825
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 2: in terms of the NFLPA report cards where players created owners, coaches, teams,

1826
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 2: et cetera. On working conditions. You might get a kick

1827
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,080
Speaker 2: out of this. But first it's time for our guy,

1828
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 2: the chef, Kevin Wired.

1829
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,879
Speaker 8: Baby, we care.

1830
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:34,640
Speaker 2: Here we go, baby that make what do you have?

1831
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 2: Carton letters keep coming in, chef people, you can't get enough.

1832
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it, Bernie, I absolutely love it.

1833
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 5: Well.

1834
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 4: We had a great night on the hardwood Saturday and

1835
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 4: first in Los Angeles. A record breaking performance for Lebron James,

1836
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 4: at least for his career, the first player ever to

1837
01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:54,840
Speaker 4: get forty thousand points in a career in the NBA.

1838
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:57,559
Speaker 4: But the Denver Nuggets are the ones who get the win.

1839
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:02,720
Speaker 4: Four fourteen, Porter Junior ten out of ten shooting from

1840
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:04,639
Speaker 4: the field, five out of five from beyond the three

1841
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 4: point line, also had ten rebounds, and Nikola Jokis the

1842
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 4: Joker another outstanding game as he had thirty five points

1843
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 4: and ten rebounds. Upset in the Desert Rockets take down

1844
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:18,840
Speaker 4: the Suns one eighteen to one oh nine Jalen Green

1845
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 4: with thirty four points and overtime. In Memphis, it's the

1846
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:24,679
Speaker 4: Trail Blazers outlasting the Grizzlies one oh seven to one hundred,

1847
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 4: Heat scorched the Jazz one twenty six one twenty, and

1848
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,800
Speaker 4: the Nets over the Hawks one fourteen to one oh two.

1849
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 4: College hoops, it was a massive day of matchups as

1850
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 4: we had several ranked teams in action, several games featuring

1851
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 4: two ranked clubs, and both both top teams winning. Number

1852
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 4: one Houston getting by Oklahoma eighty seven eighty five, Number

1853
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:49,640
Speaker 4: two Perdue eighty to seventy four against Michigan State in

1856
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 4: a number one overall seed as they take down Crimson

1857
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 4: tied eighty one to seventy four. Gonzaga also making a

1858
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 4: late charge toward the end of the season. They hand

1859
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 4: Saint Mary's their first conference loss of the season, seventy

1860
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:13,719
Speaker 4: to fifty seven, as Gonzaga now just a game behind

1861
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 4: Saint Mary's a top of the conference standings They're fourteen

1862
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:20,559
Speaker 4: and two in West Coast Conference play. Number nineteen Washington

1864
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 4: Duke seventy three to forty eight as Kyle Philipowskia seems

1865
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 4: like his ankle not hurting him too badly, as he

1866
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:34,760
Speaker 4: did have twenty one point seven rebounds and three steals.

1867
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,920
Speaker 4: Number eleven Auburn over Mississippi State seventy eight to sixty three.

1870
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:51,640
Speaker 4: Cyclones win against UCF sixty to fifty two. In the

1871
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 4: Big East, Number twelve Creighton, the Blue Jays get a

1872
01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:58,040

1875
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:09,040
Speaker 4: Kentucky outruns Arkansas one eleven one two, Number thirteen Illinois

1876
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:11,479

1877
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 4: twelve Number seven Kansas, number fifteen Bayla. This is one

1878
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:17,120
Speaker 4: of the matchups of the day, and the Bears do

1879
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,080
Speaker 4: win this one. Eighty two to seventy four eighteen ranks.

1880
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 4: South Carolina holds off number twenty four Florida eighty two

1881
01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 4: to seventy six. Back to you, Berney, all.

1882
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 2: Right, Jef, keep those pipes warm. So a recent poll

1883
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 2: of over seventeen hundred NFL players again produced some you know,

1884
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 2: I guess, some eye catching comments and highlights and low

1885
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:46,720
Speaker 2: lights for the various NFL franchises across the league. And

1886
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 2: so the NFL PA released their second annual club report

1887
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:58,160
Speaker 2: cards on workplace conditions, and they graded them across eleven

1888
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 2: different categories. Okay, voting, head coach, job performance, willingness of

1889
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 2: club owners to invest in facilities, and they kind of

1890
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 2: focused on how players view their workplace inside their franchises.

1891
01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:18,120
Speaker 2: And the union repeatedly emphasized that the report cards are

1892
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:21,839
Speaker 2: not perceived. They don't have a correlation to wins and losses. Instead,

1893
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:24,879
Speaker 2: the aim, the idea here was to judge the experience

1894
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 2: of what it's like to work for these teams. You're

1895
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:31,639
Speaker 2: going to find some of this very surprising. For instance,

1896
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs super Bowl champion, their

1897
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 2: rank thirty first overall. They were twenty ninth last year.

1898
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 2: In a compilation of multiple weighted categories. Okay, they scored

1899
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:46,559
Speaker 2: D plus or lower in seven various categories, including treatment

1900
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 2: of families, training room, team travel, nutritionists, dietitian, locker room,

1901
01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 2: training staff, all ats unreal, and a league worst score.

1902
01:45:56,840 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 2: In ownership, they gave the ownership an that was based

1903
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 2: on their unwillingness or guests or lack of commitment to

1904
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:13,600
Speaker 2: invest in facilities. According to the NFLPA, the players criticized

1905
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 2: team owner Clarkon for a failure to renovate the team's

1906
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 2: locker room following the twenty twenty two Super Bowl winning season.

1907
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 2: About Carolina their owner David Tepper, He's been the league's

1908
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 2: most scrutinized owner for a while. Not surprisingly, he's unpopular

1909
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 2: in his own building. Tepper got a D grade and

1910
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:35,320
Speaker 2: he scored six out of six or checked that six

1911
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 2: out of ten, which was twenty eighth in the league.

1912
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 2: The main issue was his choice to change the playing

1913
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:47,000
Speaker 2: service at Bank of America Stadium to an artificial service,

1914
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 2: despite the players unanimously asking to play on natural grass.

1915
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 2: The top five No, there's good news too. The top

1916
01:46:57,400 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 2: five overall scorers went and this is in order. The

1917
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, and

1918
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. Players by and large rated those as the

1919
01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:13,640
Speaker 2: top five in terms of the best working conditions. The

1920
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 2: bottom five from twenty eight to thirty two were Pittsburgh,

1921
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 2: New England, the Chargers, Chiefs, and Washington Commanders. Ninety Reid

1922
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 2: was ranked the top coach in his job performance. He

1923
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 2: got an eight plus. Not surprisingly, Josh McDaniels finished at

1924
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 2: the bottom of the league, ranked thirty second with the

1925
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 2: d Nick Sirianni he also received an A and actually

1926
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:36,640
Speaker 2: he was given a lot of credit for his willingness

1927
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:40,120
Speaker 2: to listen in the locker room. They started ten to one.

1928
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 2: Everything created coaching shacops. But who knows if you're wondering

1929
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:48,040
Speaker 2: when the survey was done. It was done in mid November.

1930
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 2: The Eagles were eight to one and they just come

1931
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 2: off a win over the Cowboys heading into a bye week.

1932
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 2: Can't leave Bill Belichick out of this. In his final

1933
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 2: season with New England, the Patriots ranked twenty ninth, falling

1934
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 2: four spots from year's report. The Union. They noted that

1935
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots are one of twelve teams that just so

1936
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 2: they don't provide a family room during game days and

1937
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 2: one of seven clubs that don't provide daycare support on

1938
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 2: game days. The Patriots are the only team in the

1939
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 2: NFL with the majority of players feeling their facility is

1940
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 2: worse the places they could actually train on their own

1941
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 2: off site. The club's weight room got the worst marks

1942
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 2: in the league. Bill Belichick out a B minus grade,

1943
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:29,040
Speaker 2: ranking twenty seventh among head coaches. One team that surprisingly

1944
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:32,799
Speaker 2: jumped the Jaguars they were infamously out in last year's survey,

1945
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 2: is having a rat infan station in their previous practice facility.

1946
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 2: That played a huge part in the getting the twenty

1947
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,840
Speaker 2: eighth grade. But they got a new practice facility they

1948
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 2: opened up, and multiple other categories improving. The Jaguars are

1949
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:50,000
Speaker 2: moving up. Their fifth in the twenty twenty three rankings

1950
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 2: commanders no improvement despite new ownership. They finished thirty second

1951
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 2: overall in the rankings. For the second straight year they

1952
01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 2: had a league worst. This cracks me up because there's

1953
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 2: such a they could and F minus. I guess there is.

1954
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 2: They got an F minus in three categories, including locker room,

1955
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 2: training room, and treatment of families. You see you see

1956
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:12,679
Speaker 2: a pattern here. Players care about how other families are treated.

1957
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:18,400
Speaker 2: A couple of financial categories that stood out. They're tied

1958
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 2: to billion dollar franchises, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They finished

1959
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:25,840
Speaker 2: twenty fourth overall. They started charging non starting players with

1960
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 2: less than four years experience a fee of seventeen hundred

1961
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars if they wanted to opt out of

1962
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 2: having a roommate in their hotel room prior to games.

1963
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:37,639
Speaker 2: Come on, man, really, what is this? Nineteen seventy five,

1964
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,919
Speaker 2: the Chargers offered a discount on game day daycare services,

1965
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:45,720
Speaker 2: seventy five for the first child and fifty dollars for

1966
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:50,640
Speaker 2: each individual child. It almost makes you. It conjures up

1967
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 2: memories of this scene in Moneyball when the guy character

1968
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:59,000
Speaker 2: played by Dave Justice is sitting next to Jonah Hill

1969
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 2: and he says, you know, why are we charging a

1970
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 2: dollar for cokes in the locker room? Says, well, you know,

1971
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:07,800
Speaker 2: the owners like to keep the money on the field,

1972
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:09,880
Speaker 2: and he says, okay, could you point out to be

1973
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 2: on the field where that dollar Isn't that coke money? Yeah? Anyway, Overall,

1974
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:17,839
Speaker 2: the NFL, their PA, their leadership president J. C. Trettor,

1975
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 2: and their executive director Lloyd Hole said there was some

1976
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 2: overall improvement across the league in a lot of categories.

1977
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 2: The key is, it'll be interesting. You've only done this

1978
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,560
Speaker 2: two years now, that this is sort of like the

1979
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:31,559
Speaker 2: feedback and the suggestion box as it were. Well, it'd

1980
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 2: be interesting to see if there are improvements next year

1981
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 2: coming up? Is this the end of an era? A

1982
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 2: dominating era? Teams that used to show up with win

1983
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:45,320
Speaker 2: games are is by reputation not so much anymore. Perhaps

1984
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 2: under the weather the US lost to Mexico earlier in

1985
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 2: the week is worthy of revisitation because I am thinking

1986
01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:56,800
Speaker 2: now with the Olympics around the corner, this is a

1987
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 2: team that their world dominance may be well in the

1988
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 2: rear view mirror. I'll explain. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle.

1989
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 2: We're coming to your line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

1990
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 2: Tireck dot com studios. Keep it locked. It's the Bernie

1991
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:10,240
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the

1992
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,880
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Coming you live from

1993
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 2: the tiraq dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Take

1994
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,639
Speaker 2: you up to three in Pacific, six am Eastern. Coming

1995
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:23,559
Speaker 2: up top of the hour, twelve minutes away the dance

1996
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 2: sensation sweep in the nation. What kind of brand new

1997
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 2: fool you followed by what my name? Fresh editions of both?

1998
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 2: You know. The men's soccer rivalry between the United States

1999
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 2: and Mexico is among the best in the sport, with

2000
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:45,120
Speaker 2: the Mexicans holding a slight edge in the series thirty

2001
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 2: six wins for Mexico, twenty three for the US, seventeen draws.

2002
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 2: The women's version of the rivalry has been completely one sided.

2003
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,920
Speaker 2: That was until last week. Before last week's CONCA CAFF

2004
01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:03,040
Speaker 2: Women's Gold Cup match, the US women's team in the

2005
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 2: try had played forty two times. The US had won

2006
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:13,679
Speaker 2: forty one, Mexico won. We'll make it twice now. Mexico

2007
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:16,680
Speaker 2: won Wednesday night's game two nothing to win its to

2008
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 2: earn its first ever win in the US since November

2009
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 2: twenty ten. Well, the good news is the US held

2010
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 2: the majority of the possession, but Mexico is the more

2011
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:30,720
Speaker 2: threatening team. Thirteen shot attempts, only nine for the Americans.

2012
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 2: They were also worded nine cornerkicks just won for the US.

2013
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:38,000
Speaker 2: So just what the hell is your major malfunction the

2014
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:41,719
Speaker 2: US women's team, Well, Alex Morgan said, we just didn't

2015
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 2: play nearly our best. We found some pockets here and there,

2016
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 2: but not nearly enough. Thing nextcued on the chances we had.

2017
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 2: Don't think we tested the goalkeeper. I think we got

2018
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 2: broken down way too easily. Well. That game was the

2019
01:52:53,280 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 2: final match of the Group States for both teams, and

2020
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,559
Speaker 2: cemented Mexico as the winner of the group. The good

2021
01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:01,800
Speaker 2: news is US still get to advance to the knockout stage,

2022
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,679
Speaker 2: though by virtue of having finished second in the group.

2023
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 2: The knockout stage matchups will be set or they're actually

2024
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,599
Speaker 2: set now I haven't looked yet. The US is still

2025
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,280
Speaker 2: alive of the tournament, could very well end up winning

2026
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:18,920
Speaker 2: its eighteenth major championship. But that loss, to me was

2027
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 2: a pretty glaring reminder of the fact that this current

2028
01:53:22,720 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 2: standing in the world of this prolific, once prolific US

2029
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,920
Speaker 2: women's soccer team is not nearly what it used to be.

2030
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:33,040
Speaker 2: The days of the US women's soccer team being a

2031
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 2: dominant global force are over. If you don't think they are,

2032
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:41,080
Speaker 2: don't tell me, show me. Let's see what you do

2033
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 2: in the upcoming Olympics at Paris. Let's see how you

2034
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 2: finish the World Cup. But any way, you slice it,

2035
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 2: the gap between what the US had and the rest

2036
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:55,280
Speaker 2: of the world is growing significantly more narrow. You saw

2037
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 2: that last year during the World Cup. The US only

2038
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:01,559
Speaker 2: won one game. They beat Vietnam three nothing, and then

2039
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 2: they got excited in the round of sixteen. That would

2040
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:09,920
Speaker 2: have been unheard of. And now you lose some some

2041
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:12,800
Speaker 2: veteran players, and again the rest of the world is

2042
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 2: caught up. That's exactly what interim coach Twiltt Kilgore said

2043
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:20,920
Speaker 2: last week quote. It just shows how far the game

2044
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 2: is coming. And there's no easy games anymore. And if

2045
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:25,400
Speaker 2: we don't take care of business, if we don't execute,

2046
01:54:25,960 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 2: this is to be expected. Now we'll step up and

2047
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:31,519
Speaker 2: take ownership more platitudes, and I think anytime you have

2048
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 2: a group that is willing to take ownership, it's a

2049
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 2: good thing for the future of the tournament. Sure that

2050
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:39,960
Speaker 2: in fifty cents kitch a cup of coffee McDonald's. By

2051
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,600
Speaker 2: the way, don't you better not take anything for granted,

2052
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 2: including his number one draft pick the Bears are about

2053
01:54:43,960 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 2: to embark on. I actually think Caleb Williams is supremely talented,

2054
01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 2: there's no question, but he's done some very questionable things

2055
01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 2: to me recently that have made me wonder what I

2056
01:54:57,200 --> 01:55:00,120
Speaker 2: really want to hand this guy the keys of the car. Now,

2057
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 2: you have to be a damn fool to think the

2058
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 2: Bears are not going to draft him number one overall.

2059
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 2: Could have changed, sure, but I don't think it's going

2060
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,640
Speaker 2: to I think that ship has sailed. And in case

2061
01:55:09,720 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 2: you missed it, Justin Fields in his thirty eight starts

2062
01:55:13,600 --> 01:55:16,480
Speaker 2: was ten and twenty eight. That's good for a ranking

2063
01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 2: of thirty fourth out of thirty six qualifying quarterbacks. In

2064
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 2: those four years, his QBR was forty six. That ranked

2065
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:26,240
Speaker 2: him twenty eighth. He averaged a whopping one hundred and

2066
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 2: sixty seven passyards per game. He ranked thirty six out

2067
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 2: of thirty six qualifying quarterbacks. Completed sixty percent of his

2068
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 2: passes that's good for thirty fourth, forty touchdowns, thirty interceptions,

2069
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 2: that's good for thirty first. Now, he did rush for

2070
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 2: fourteen touchdowns that ranked him third. Whoop de damn. Do

2071
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:46,560
Speaker 2: you know how I feel about Justin Fields? I like him,

2072
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 2: but you can't operate from the pocket. But if you

2073
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 2: think that drafting number one overall and getting a quarterback

2074
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 2: is going to solve your problems. Let me tell you

2075
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:57,720
Speaker 2: there are no guarantees period. All you need to do

2076
01:55:57,880 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 2: is look at the last nine drafts and twenty fifteen

2077
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston Marcus Mariota, the first two players picked, the

2078
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:06,840
Speaker 2: first two quarterbacks taken. Neither have lived up to their expectations.

2079
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:09,760
Speaker 2: They've played for multiple teams. In fact, that draft didn't

2080
01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 2: produce a quality quarterback. In twenty sixteen, Jared Goff and

2081
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz win first and second respectively. I think Goff's

2082
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:18,840
Speaker 2: had a pretty good career. Wentz has been somewhat of

2083
01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 2: a bust. The Rams traded up to select Golf, and

2084
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:23,680
Speaker 2: he got them to the playoffs. Wasn't good enough to

2085
01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 2: get him a championship. Ran into that Bill Belichick defense.

2086
01:56:26,640 --> 01:56:31,160
Speaker 2: They ended up trading Golf. Twenty seventeen. He didn't draft

2087
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:33,920
Speaker 2: a quarterback. He drafted defensive end. Miles Garrett went first

2088
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 2: overall to Cleveland. The first quarterback was Mitch Trubisky to

2089
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 2: the Bears. Oh by the way, in those same thirty

2090
01:56:39,640 --> 01:56:42,200
Speaker 2: eight games, he was twenty five and thirteen, got to

2091
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs twice, completed sixty seven percent of his passes,

2092
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 2: but Trubisky never lived up to their expectations. Currently on

2093
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:53,360
Speaker 2: his third team. The twenty eighteen quarterback pack class was

2094
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 2: supposed to be a great one, but the top pick

2095
01:56:56,880 --> 01:56:58,680
Speaker 2: has been a bit of a journeyman, although I like

2096
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield a lot. Lucky by Cleveland first overall, He's

2097
01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:04,880
Speaker 2: had his flashes, but that's about it. After that, Sam

2098
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 2: Darnold met well Josh Allen. They got him seventh overall,

2099
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:13,320
Speaker 2: same category as Mahomes, but he's one of the few.

2100
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 2: The next quarterback was Josh Rosen, taken by the Cardinals.

2101
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:19,160
Speaker 2: You know how well he busted. The bottom line is

2102
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 2: there are no guarantees.

2103
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:21,040
Speaker 8: Man.

2104
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 2: The Bears may get their guy, but caveat emptur buyer bware.

2105
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 2: There is no guarantee that his talent is going to

2106
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:31,919
Speaker 2: lead the Bears to the Promised Land, much less the playoffs.

2107
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 2: Houp next, brand newfool. What my name? Keep it lock?

2116
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:05,640
Speaker 2: we've come to that juncture in the show that time

2117
01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 2: of the week. You see, we pay attention here on

2118
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show across this great land of ours

2119
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:15,560
Speaker 2: and around the globe because people, well, they're funny. They

2120
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:21,520
Speaker 2: like to engage in behaviors, activities, events. Oftentimes they are innocuous,

2121
01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 2: fun loving goofy. Other times they're far more serious and

2122
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:31,640
Speaker 2: dangerous and oftentimes result in breaking the law. But anyway

2123
01:58:31,680 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 2: you slice it, any way you describe it, any way

2124
01:58:34,400 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 2: you characterize these events, they always always leave us scratching

2125
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 2: our heads and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new

2126
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 2: fool are you? Yeah, this one, here's a beauty. We

2127
01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 2: take you to Seabrook, New Hampshire. Ladies and gentlemen, meet

2128
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:02,760
Speaker 2: Megan Levitt, thirty eight, of Alfred, Maine. So let's take

2129
01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:06,720
Speaker 2: it from the top. It turns out that this Levitt

2130
01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 2: was under arrest after police alleged she called in fake

2131
01:59:13,720 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 2: threats at a Walmart in Seabrook. According to Seabrook Police

2132
01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 2: Round eleven am on Saturday, officers received reports of a

2133
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 2: possible explosive device in the Walmart. Soon after officers reported,

2134
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:29,640
Speaker 2: someone called the police department directly claiming the man in

2135
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:33,400
Speaker 2: this store had a gun. While officers evacuated the Walmart

2136
01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:37,000
Speaker 2: and many nearby stores to search the store, they even

2137
01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 2: called in the New Hampshire State Police bomb Squad sweet

2138
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 2: for any explosive devices. Well, the department reported that they

2139
01:59:44,040 --> 01:59:49,920
Speaker 2: could not find any threats. Timothy Mohn, Lieutenant, upon our arrival,

2140
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 2: we quickly determined there was no man with a gun

2141
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 2: inside of Walmart. Walmart evacuated. When we called in the

2142
01:59:56,360 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 2: State Police Explosive Disposal Unit and their bombs go they

2143
02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 2: were able to come down to a sweep of Walmart.

2144
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 2: There was no threat to the public, there was no device.

2145
02:00:07,280 --> 02:00:09,720
Speaker 2: Police did a great job. Store reopened at one o'clock.

2146
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 2: So what in the hell happened? Okay? People were shocked,

2147
02:00:15,720 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 2: shoppers were interviewed well. About three hours later, police found

2148
02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:22,920
Speaker 2: the suspect behind the hoax threat at the Best Western

2149
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:26,760
Speaker 2: Tel in Sea Book, the afore mentioned Megan Levitt, thirty eight,

2150
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:29,920
Speaker 2: of Alfred, Maine. She'd been charged with false reports as

2151
02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:33,720
Speaker 2: to explosive, false reports to law enforcement, false public alarm,

2152
02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:38,120
Speaker 2: criminal threatening, and position of a controlled drug. They identified

2153
02:00:38,120 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 2: her as a suspect. They tracked her down quickly. Why

2154
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 2: because she made calls on a speakerphone on her way

2155
02:00:46,840 --> 02:00:50,200
Speaker 2: to the shopping center in an uber. Her driver heard

2156
02:00:50,240 --> 02:00:56,520
Speaker 2: her making the calls subsequently called the police. Here's the punchline.

2157
02:00:57,200 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Officers say she was coming to the complex because her

2158
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:03,640
Speaker 2: boyfriend was about to be arrested at Dick's Sporting Goods

2159
02:01:03,680 --> 02:01:06,960
Speaker 2: across from Walmark for shoplifting. He was hiding in a

2160
02:01:07,080 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 2: changing room talking to her before she made the calls.

2161
02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:13,480
Speaker 2: So the young lady made the calls in an effort

2162
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 2: to distract the police from arresting her significant other. Oh

2163
02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:21,640
Speaker 2: my god, thankful. They're thankful to the uber driver for

2164
02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 2: sticking around, flagging them down, lating us. No, that is

2165
02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:26,840
Speaker 2: what you call stand by your man. That is what

2166
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 2: you also called. Is Megan Levitt? What kind of brand

2167
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 2: new fool?

2168
02:01:31,080 --> 02:01:31,480
Speaker 13: Are you?

2169
02:01:33,080 --> 02:01:35,160
Speaker 2: All right? He and Roddy, you're getting good at this game.

2170
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:36,200
Speaker 2: What do you got for us tonight?

2171
02:01:37,080 --> 02:01:41,120
Speaker 10: Okay, So our story, my story here. It begins in

2172
02:01:41,240 --> 02:01:46,320
Speaker 10: Walton County Florida. Another Florida guy. So, the incident occurred

2173
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:49,760
Speaker 10: last February, about a year ago, when police were searching

2174
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:53,320
Speaker 10: thirty three year old Robert Seth Whittaker's house. So kind

2175
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 10: of dropping us right into the middle of the action.

2176
02:01:55,160 --> 02:01:59,000
Speaker 10: Here they're already searching his house for some crime he committed. Whittaker,

2177
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 10: who was on probation for drug charges, was arrested and

2178
02:02:02,320 --> 02:02:06,680
Speaker 10: transported to the county jail. Now, once at the jail

2179
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:10,560
Speaker 10: a cavity search, so that that's when they're searching your body,

2180
02:02:10,640 --> 02:02:12,160
Speaker 10: your naked, they're poking, their prodding.

2181
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:15,200
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, and you know, cavity search.

2182
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:18,560
Speaker 10: Physical examination were being conducted when a chunk of purple

2183
02:02:18,800 --> 02:02:23,720
Speaker 10: powder fell out of his rear end. Now, the powder

2184
02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:29,320
Speaker 10: was quickly confirmed to be fentanyl. Deputies later learned that

2185
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:33,680
Speaker 10: that wasn't the end of the story. Whittaker stashed a

2186
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:37,240
Speaker 10: large quantity of fensanyl under the rear seat of the

2187
02:02:37,320 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 10: patrol car while he was being transported to the jail.

2188
02:02:41,280 --> 02:02:44,280
Speaker 10: So in car dash cams confirmed that while he was

2189
02:02:44,360 --> 02:02:47,560
Speaker 10: handcuffed in the back of the car, Whittaker reached into

2190
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 10: his buttocks, pulled out plastic bags and stuffed them in

2191
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 10: the area where the seat belt goes into the.

2192
02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:55,640
Speaker 11: Molding of the seat, if you can picture that.

2193
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:59,400
Speaker 10: Oh man, So the patrol car was secure, they found

2194
02:02:59,480 --> 02:03:01,880
Speaker 10: thirty two grams of fentanyl under the seat.

2195
02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that could kill halfy the United right.

2196
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:07,960
Speaker 10: Right, the plastic bag. So in the process of all this,

2197
02:03:08,080 --> 02:03:12,080
Speaker 10: the plastic bags tore, leaving residue everywhere under the seats

2198
02:03:12,120 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 10: and requiring the car to be out of service for

2199
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,880
Speaker 10: three months until it could be properly cleaned. So after

2200
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 10: all that, Robert Seth Whittaker, what kind of brand new

2201
02:03:21,320 --> 02:03:21,920
Speaker 10: fool are you?

2202
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:28,120
Speaker 2: That is scary, business man? Oh my god, fentanyl is woo.

2203
02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 11: It's like it just gets crazier and crazier.

2204
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 10: And my favorite part of the story is that it

2205
02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:34,880
Speaker 10: drops you right in the middle, like his house is

2206
02:03:34,880 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 10: already being searched.

2207
02:03:35,880 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 11: So, you know, not an upstanding citizen to begin with.

2208
02:03:38,680 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 2: That's why we call this brand new fool. What kind

2209
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:43,840
Speaker 2: of brand new fool are you? All right? Kevin Wire

2210
02:03:43,880 --> 02:03:46,280
Speaker 2: at the chef, what have you got for us tonight? Buddy?

2211
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 4: All right? So we go to Ireland where a woman's

2212
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:54,440
Speaker 4: six hundred and fifty thousand euro claim for injuries allegedly

2213
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:57,600
Speaker 4: suffered during a car crash, has been thrown out in

2214
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:01,800
Speaker 4: court after she was pictured winning a Christmas tree throwing competition.

2215
02:04:02,000 --> 02:04:05,480
Speaker 4: So she sued so the woman his name is Kamila Grabska.

2216
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:08,080
Speaker 4: She sued an insurance company and sent injuries to her

2217
02:04:08,200 --> 02:04:10,520
Speaker 4: back and neck meant she was unable to work for

2218
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:12,920
Speaker 4: more than five years or play with her children. She

2219
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:16,080
Speaker 4: claimed she was left with a disabling quote disabling condition

2220
02:04:16,600 --> 02:04:18,800
Speaker 4: after a car she was traveling in was hit from

2221
02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:22,480
Speaker 4: behind in an accident back in twenty seventeen. However, that

2222
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:25,040
Speaker 4: claim was thrown out by a High Court judge after

2223
02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:28,400
Speaker 4: a photograph came to light show in Grabsca throwing a

2224
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 4: five foot spruce at a charity event back in January

2225
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:34,800
Speaker 4: of twenty eighteen, and it was published in the national newspaper,

2226
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 4: and Grabsca argued she was still suffering from her injuries. However,

2227
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:41,360
Speaker 4: the judge I did not buy it, dismissing her claim

2228
02:04:41,440 --> 02:04:45,600
Speaker 4: in part due to the quote graphic nature of that image.

2229
02:04:45,680 --> 02:04:49,520
Speaker 4: So couldn't let her pride rest for a little bit,

2230
02:04:49,640 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 4: had to show off her strengthen because of that, she

2231
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:56,720
Speaker 4: lost six hundred and fifty thousand euro from a potential

2232
02:04:57,400 --> 02:05:02,800
Speaker 4: injury settlement. So Camila Grobska of Ireland, what kind of

2233
02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:03,480
Speaker 4: brand new fool are you?

2234
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:08,160
Speaker 2: All right? So we got New Hampshire, Florida and Ireland.

2235
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Amazic On Florida always seems to manage to work their

2236
02:05:11,560 --> 02:05:16,960
Speaker 2: way into brand new fool, So another rousing addition of

2237
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:19,760
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool are you? In the books,

2238
02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 2: which allows us to now segue into our second favorite bit,

2239
02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:31,040
Speaker 2: something we lovingly refer to as what my name? All right?

2240
02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Mark nicely done? All right? Might be a little bit

2241
02:05:35,600 --> 02:05:38,560
Speaker 2: of a basketball theme since we're in this, but we'll

2242
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:43,320
Speaker 2: also we'll spray the board a little bit, all right.

2243
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 2: I currently have more triple double. This is a National

2244
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 2: Basketball League, a system NBA question. I currently have more

2245
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:56,640
Speaker 2: triple doubles than any other center in NBA history. Ian Roddy,

2246
02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 2: what my name? I?

2247
02:05:59,080 --> 02:06:00,720
Speaker 11: Could it already be Nikolajokic?

2248
02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:03,520
Speaker 2: It could already be Nikola Jokic. You got it, my man?

2249
02:06:03,640 --> 02:06:06,840
Speaker 2: Right out of the gate, Winter Winter Chicken Dinner. Here

2250
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:14,280
Speaker 2: we go. I still hold the record after all these

2251
02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:18,360
Speaker 2: years for a most assist in an NBA game, with thirty.

2252
02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:22,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Wirt, what my name?

2253
02:06:22,520 --> 02:06:23,400
Speaker 4: Thirty assists?

2254
02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:24,000
Speaker 2: In a game.

2255
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:28,919
Speaker 4: Yep, I'm gonna guess Oscar Robinson, not Oscar Robertson.

2256
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:31,520
Speaker 2: I still hold the record, after all this time for

2257
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:34,320
Speaker 2: the most assistant an NBA game with thirty Mark.

2258
02:06:34,760 --> 02:06:37,920
Speaker 4: Mark Ramsey, what my name Magic Johnson?

2259
02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:40,880
Speaker 2: Not Magic Johnson. I like it, though not him. I

2260
02:06:40,960 --> 02:06:42,960
Speaker 2: still hold the record for the most assist in an

2261
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:46,960
Speaker 2: NBA game with thirty Ian Roddy what my name?

2262
02:06:47,680 --> 02:06:50,640
Speaker 10: Thirty assists in the game is crazy. I'm gonna go

2263
02:06:50,800 --> 02:06:52,360
Speaker 10: with the great John Stockton.

2264
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:54,840
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good guess. Not him, same era though,

2265
02:06:55,200 --> 02:06:57,360
Speaker 2: I'll give you a guys. See if he built this out,

2266
02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:01,000
Speaker 2: Mark's at Magic Johnson. Here's there's a clue. This gentleman

2267
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:04,320
Speaker 2: went to the same school as Magic Johnson. Can anybody

2268
02:07:04,400 --> 02:07:07,320
Speaker 2: guess it? Going once? He did it back in eighty eight.

2269
02:07:07,360 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 11: I believe going twice, it's not but Draymond Green because

2270
02:07:10,240 --> 02:07:11,000
Speaker 11: that's Green.

2271
02:07:11,080 --> 02:07:15,560
Speaker 2: A good guess, fair enough, Scottie Skiles, Scott Skiles all

2272
02:07:15,680 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 2: this time? All right, we just talked about the National

2273
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:25,280
Speaker 2: NFLPA Player poll in terms of working conditions, YadA, yaday

2274
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,360
Speaker 2: aol those times of things. Okay, As a head coach,

2275
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:32,400
Speaker 2: I just finished last in the recent NFL player survey

2276
02:07:32,960 --> 02:07:37,480

2296
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:45,320

2314
02:09:59,520 --> 02:10:03,920
Speaker 2: just a for being just hired in Seattle. But it is, yes,

2315

2322
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:34,200
Speaker 2: not him. I think he was up there, but I

2323

02:12:39,280 --> 02:12:43,920
Speaker 2: owner among NFL teams Kevin Wyatt. What my name?

2359
02:12:44,280 --> 02:12:46,640

Speaker 4: All right? So if it's not Dan Snyder. What's another

2364
02:12:56,040 --> 02:12:57,440
Speaker 4: dumpster fire of a franchise?

2365
02:12:57,560 --> 02:12:57,720
Speaker 8: Then?

2366
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:00,200
Speaker 2: See, this is another tough one.

2367
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna vote Dean Spanos, not Dean Spanos.

2368
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 2: Fair enough, not Dean Spanos. In the most recent NFL

2369
02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:10,160
Speaker 2: Players Survey, I was voted the worst owner in the

2370
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:13,280
Speaker 2: National Football League, Mark Ramsey, What my name?

2371
02:13:14,840 --> 02:13:16,120
Speaker 4: Mister Jerry Jones?

2372
02:13:16,880 --> 02:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Oh no, not Jerry Jones. I actually think they like

2373
02:13:19,480 --> 02:13:21,000
Speaker 2: him there, but anyway, good guests.

2374
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:22,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

2375
02:13:22,920 --> 02:13:28,120
Speaker 2: In this year's second annual NFL Player Poll NFLPA, I

2376
02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:31,040
Speaker 2: was voted the worst owner in the National Football League,

2377
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:32,760
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, what my name?

2378
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:36,560
Speaker 10: In my opinion, the worst owner in the National Football

2379
02:13:36,600 --> 02:13:38,360
Speaker 10: League is David Tepper of the Panthers.

2380
02:13:38,520 --> 02:13:39,160
Speaker 11: Could it be him?

2381
02:13:40,280 --> 02:13:42,440
Speaker 2: Well, you're not wrong in terms of your It's not

2382
02:13:42,480 --> 02:13:44,000
Speaker 2: the right answer, but you're not wrong in terms of

2383
02:13:44,040 --> 02:13:47,640
Speaker 2: your of your premise. This the players vote again. I

2384
02:13:47,920 --> 02:13:52,280
Speaker 2: talked about this earlier in the show. It's actually Clark

2385
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:56,640
Speaker 2: Hunt of the Chiefs because of their policy with travel

2386
02:13:56,840 --> 02:14:02,160
Speaker 2: and facilities and not upgrading facility and family policies and

2387
02:14:02,240 --> 02:14:05,880
Speaker 2: things of that nature. Clark Hunt was voted and ironically,

2388
02:14:05,960 --> 02:14:09,440
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have won it back to back, so you know,

2389
02:14:09,720 --> 02:14:13,840
Speaker 2: long and short of it is, you can never tell

2390
02:14:14,360 --> 02:14:17,280
Speaker 2: players in their working dditions and so on and so forth.

2391
02:14:18,560 --> 02:14:21,440
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, I don't think it's any secret

2392
02:14:21,760 --> 02:14:24,600
Speaker 2: who the Bears are gonna draft. Let's just chop that

2393
02:14:24,720 --> 02:14:29,880
Speaker 2: up for just a second and bring some semblance of

2394
02:14:30,120 --> 02:14:33,120
Speaker 2: order to the discussion. I'm Bernie Fradder were Comedy Live

Speaker 2: from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tarret dot Com Studios.

Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back at the Bernie

2398
02:14:40,440 --> 02:14:43,240
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, Comedy liferom the tarret dot

2399
02:14:43,280 --> 02:14:48,120
Speaker 2: Com studios here in Las Vegas. NFL Draft coming up

2400
02:14:48,160 --> 02:14:52,960
Speaker 2: in Detroit, April twenty fifth. Caleb Williams has been the

2401
02:14:53,240 --> 02:14:56,760
Speaker 2: talk of the combine. He's been the talk this past week,

2402
02:14:57,600 --> 02:15:00,280
Speaker 2: and he's done a lot of talking himself, and I

2403
02:15:00,360 --> 02:15:02,520
Speaker 2: think some folks have been put off by his comments,

2404
02:15:02,600 --> 02:15:06,720
Speaker 2: quite honestly, and how he he never not thought he

2405
02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:10,879
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna be drafted number one, and he will decide,

2406
02:15:11,400 --> 02:15:14,320
Speaker 2: you know, who he throws forward, who he's gonna give

2407
02:15:14,360 --> 02:15:16,680
Speaker 2: medical tests to. And you know, since all thirty two

2408
02:15:16,720 --> 02:15:19,280
Speaker 2: teams can't draft me, why you know, I'll just make

2409
02:15:19,360 --> 02:15:20,760
Speaker 2: up my own rules as I go along, and that's

2410
02:15:20,800 --> 02:15:23,840
Speaker 2: all well and good if you produce. And one of

2411
02:15:23,920 --> 02:15:29,120
Speaker 2: the things that maybe the biggest thing quite honestly, that

2412
02:15:29,360 --> 02:15:33,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has going for him, is that who is

2413
02:15:33,080 --> 02:15:37,400
Speaker 2: he always compared to? Yeah, you got Patrick Mahomes. You're

2414
02:15:37,440 --> 02:15:39,360
Speaker 2: gonna hear that one hundred times in the next month,

2415
02:15:40,120 --> 02:15:46,879
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes. So here's what's interesting. Patrick Mahomes

2416
02:15:46,920 --> 02:15:49,160
Speaker 2: sat for a year and learned, and he was much

2417
02:15:49,200 --> 02:15:52,960
Speaker 2: more humble coming out of Texas Tech. And one of

2418
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,200
Speaker 2: the guys I look to in terms of the model

2419
02:15:55,280 --> 02:15:59,160
Speaker 2: citizen that just the if you were God was gonna

2420
02:15:59,160 --> 02:16:01,680
Speaker 2: make a rookie quarterback? Cause it not c J. Stroud.

2421
02:16:02,440 --> 02:16:06,000
Speaker 2: So forget whether or not you compare Kayleb Williams to

2422
02:16:06,120 --> 02:16:09,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. And I'm not going to deny that he

2423
02:16:09,160 --> 02:16:11,920
Speaker 2: does have significant talent, although I'm going to share with

2424
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:16,160
Speaker 2: you some you know, an NFL Punnit's thoughts on that

2425
02:16:16,360 --> 02:16:19,640
Speaker 2: that might surprise you. The real question is can that

2426
02:16:19,800 --> 02:16:22,440
Speaker 2: translate to results on the field for the Chicago Bears.

2427
02:16:23,080 --> 02:16:29,880
Speaker 2: Could Caleb Williams actually duplicate c J. Stroud's impact. The

2428
02:16:29,960 --> 02:16:32,840
Speaker 2: stakes are huge for this organization. They haven't had a

2429
02:16:32,879 --> 02:16:37,039
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback in generations. What said Luckman, I will always, though,

2430
02:16:37,080 --> 02:16:41,280
Speaker 2: defend Jim McMahon to the pole, always for what he did.

2431
02:16:42,160 --> 02:16:46,000
Speaker 2: So I realized that Caleb Williams is it can't miss prospect.

2432
02:16:46,840 --> 02:16:48,800
Speaker 2: I think he has a much higher ceiling than Justin

2433
02:16:48,879 --> 02:16:54,039
Speaker 2: Fields did. But if Fields go somewhere else and wins,

2434
02:16:54,120 --> 02:16:58,760
Speaker 2: which I'm not banking on, and Caleb Williams struggles, that's

2435
02:16:58,840 --> 02:17:01,360
Speaker 2: going to be a really bad look up for the Bears.

2436
02:17:02,120 --> 02:17:04,960
Speaker 2: But I'd like to bring in a quick alternative viewpoint

2437
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:09,160
Speaker 2: because Meryl Hodge, as you know, longtime Pittsburgh Steeler, a

2438
02:17:09,240 --> 02:17:11,880
Speaker 2: guy with a real BS meter, he was spoking. He

2439
02:17:12,080 --> 02:17:17,360
Speaker 2: was speaking with NBC Sports Chicago Radio Road in Las Vegas,

2440
02:17:17,480 --> 02:17:23,880
Speaker 2: and he basically said he was disdainful of Williams tape

2441
02:17:23,920 --> 02:17:27,240
Speaker 2: at USC he says, quote, I haven't really seen anything

2442
02:17:27,360 --> 02:17:30,440
Speaker 2: special thus far. The one thing that's clear is he's

2443
02:17:30,480 --> 02:17:33,480
Speaker 2: not special. He's not something you need like Patrick Mahomes.

2444
02:17:33,680 --> 02:17:35,400
Speaker 2: And I hope the Bears don't think, well, let's try

2445
02:17:35,440 --> 02:17:38,160
Speaker 2: to make up farm mistake when we passed on Mahomes

2446
02:17:38,520 --> 02:17:41,080
Speaker 2: and now go get Mahomes. This kid is not Mahomes.

2447
02:17:41,320 --> 02:17:44,080
Speaker 2: He ain't even remotely close to that. That is Meryl

2448
02:17:44,160 --> 02:17:47,400
Speaker 2: Hodge's quote. Why did he say that? He says, quote,

2449
02:17:47,480 --> 02:17:49,760
Speaker 2: First of all, his ability to throw on the run

2450
02:17:49,879 --> 02:17:52,800
Speaker 2: is very disturbing. It's very inaccurate. It's all over the place.

2451
02:17:53,160 --> 02:17:56,120
Speaker 2: There's a ton of RPO, which nobody's going to rpo

2452
02:17:56,200 --> 02:17:58,440
Speaker 2: themselves to a super Bowl in our league. You got

2453
02:17:58,520 --> 02:18:00,240
Speaker 2: to push the ball down the field. You go preay

2454
02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:02,320
Speaker 2: from the pocket. There are times when he does that,

2455
02:18:03,080 --> 02:18:05,959
Speaker 2: but he doesn't play with a lot of anticipation because

2456
02:18:06,000 --> 02:18:09,880
Speaker 2: of all the clean pockets that exist for him. MARYL.

2457
02:18:09,920 --> 02:18:12,040
Speaker 2: Hodge went on to say, the thing that's disturbing me

2458
02:18:12,200 --> 02:18:15,280
Speaker 2: right now is his inability to be consistent on the

2459
02:18:15,400 --> 02:18:17,840
Speaker 2: move as a thrower. He's willing to do that more

2460
02:18:17,879 --> 02:18:19,560
Speaker 2: than he has to. You don't have that choice in

2461
02:18:19,600 --> 02:18:22,920
Speaker 2: the National Football League. I don't see anything magical with him.

2462
02:18:23,200 --> 02:18:25,480
Speaker 2: There's not enough there at this point to make it

2463
02:18:25,600 --> 02:18:28,080
Speaker 2: look like you bring this guy in who's never played

2464
02:18:28,080 --> 02:18:30,960
Speaker 2: the National Football League. He's got to overcome those hurdles

2465
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:33,960
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he's going to win. So

2466
02:18:34,200 --> 02:18:38,520
Speaker 2: from a pocket presence, Meryl Hodge does not believe Caleb

2467
02:18:38,560 --> 02:18:41,879
Speaker 2: Williams is special. He does have gifts, he does think

2468
02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:44,920
Speaker 2: he's exciting, he does have a skill set, But Marril

2469
02:18:44,959 --> 02:18:47,879
Speaker 2: Hodge does not believe the skill set that Caleb Williams

2470
02:18:47,959 --> 02:18:52,680
Speaker 2: brings is going to bring a championship to Chicago. We

2471
02:18:53,080 --> 02:18:55,680
Speaker 2: shall see. This is going to be fun to watch.

2472
02:18:56,760 --> 02:18:59,039
Speaker 2: I just wish Kayleb Williams would do more talking back

2473
02:18:59,120 --> 02:19:01,800
Speaker 2: on the field and not as much in the combine

2474
02:19:01,879 --> 02:19:04,520
Speaker 2: coming out Chris Prahfet's World of Soccer. But first go

2475
02:19:04,600 --> 02:19:06,320
Speaker 2: back to our guy, Kevin Wired.

2476
02:19:06,720 --> 02:19:11,040

Speaker 2: Against Porter Drives. Fence gets his side.

2479
02:19:18,959 --> 02:19:19,520
Speaker 5: It's good.

2480
02:19:19,720 --> 02:19:24,240
Speaker 4: It's thirty thousand for Lebron James, the NBA's all time.

2481
02:19:24,160 --> 02:19:27,760
Speaker 2: Leaving score with another milestone as the legend of.

2482
02:19:27,800 --> 02:19:32,520
Speaker 4: Lebron continues to grow. Mike Breen and ABC on the

2483
02:19:32,640 --> 02:19:36,120
Speaker 4: call there as Lebron James becomes the first player in

2484
02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:39,280
Speaker 4: NBA history to get forty thousand career points. But the

2485
02:19:39,360 --> 02:19:41,240
Speaker 4: Nuggets do win this one, win twenty four to one

2486
02:19:41,240 --> 02:19:44,199

Speaker 4: the Hawks one fourteen oh one oh two. College hoops

2496
02:20:11,879 --> 02:20:14,800
Speaker 4: huge dates crunch time, as only a couple weeks away

2497
02:20:14,800 --> 02:20:19,359
Speaker 4: from selection Sunday. Both top RAKE teams have won today

2522
02:21:39,640 --> 02:21:41,480
Speaker 4: Back to you, Bernie all.

2523
02:21:41,440 --> 02:21:44,400
Speaker 2: Right, chef, good stuff tonight, my man. All right, this

2524
02:21:44,560 --> 02:21:48,440
Speaker 2: time every week, obviously, whether it's in season or out

2525
02:21:48,480 --> 02:21:51,560
Speaker 2: of season, off the field or on the field, there

2526
02:21:51,680 --> 02:21:54,160
Speaker 2: is never any shortage of news. So why we bring

2527
02:21:54,240 --> 02:21:55,359
Speaker 2: you Christopher.

2528
02:21:55,000 --> 02:22:05,120
Speaker 13: Fetts World of Soccer, The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes,

2529
02:22:06,879 --> 02:22:08,320
Speaker 13: the international drama.

2530
02:22:13,600 --> 02:22:17,000
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2531
02:22:17,360 --> 02:22:20,160
Speaker 14: This past week, Bernie, I've noticed in the NBA a

2532
02:22:20,240 --> 02:22:22,360
Speaker 14: lot of talk about who is going to be the

2533
02:22:22,520 --> 02:22:25,240
Speaker 14: next face of the NBA, Who is going to be

2534
02:22:25,320 --> 02:22:29,240
Speaker 14: the next face of the National Basketball Association and, by extension,

2535
02:22:29,320 --> 02:22:32,360
Speaker 14: all of pro basketball the world over. It is a

2536
02:22:32,640 --> 02:22:36,560
Speaker 14: fascinating question. It's one that I think that sometimes we're

2537
02:22:36,600 --> 02:22:39,440
Speaker 14: not really ready to accept. There's not going to be

2538
02:22:39,480 --> 02:22:42,640
Speaker 14: a guy who can take over someone like Lebron. But

2539
02:22:42,760 --> 02:22:46,000
Speaker 14: I wanted to extend this question further into soccer itself

2540
02:22:46,040 --> 02:22:48,039
Speaker 14: because we are now coming up on the twilight years

2541
02:22:48,240 --> 02:22:51,240
Speaker 14: of Cristiano Ronaldo. Even though he continues to set records

2542
02:22:51,480 --> 02:22:55,240
Speaker 14: playing over in Saudi Arabia and Lionel Messi for as

2543
02:22:55,280 --> 02:22:58,080
Speaker 14: long as he will continue to wow in the United States,

2544
02:22:58,160 --> 02:23:00,120
Speaker 14: it is clear that this is probably going to be

2545
02:23:00,200 --> 02:23:02,680
Speaker 14: his last destination, unless he wants to do a farewell

2546
02:23:02,720 --> 02:23:06,960
Speaker 14: tour with his Spanish club Barcelona somewhere down the line.

2547
02:23:07,600 --> 02:23:10,720
Speaker 14: The good news is for soccer, the answer of who

2548
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:15,840
Speaker 14: comes next is something that is evidentally clear. We have had,

2549
02:23:15,959 --> 02:23:19,160
Speaker 14: through the years generations of great players, and I would

2550
02:23:19,480 --> 02:23:23,520
Speaker 14: argue that soccer doesn't really have a goat, a clear

2551
02:23:23,640 --> 02:23:27,520
Speaker 14: cut goat, although Pele comes as close as you can

2552
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:32,000
Speaker 14: probably get to it. But you have generational greats from

2553
02:23:32,080 --> 02:23:34,800
Speaker 14: one generation to the next, because yes, there was Pelee,

2554
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:39,960
Speaker 14: but there was also Maradonna, there was Messi, there was

2555
02:23:40,760 --> 02:23:46,000
Speaker 14: Ronaldinho who was fantastic as well, there was Cristiano Ronaldo himself,

2556
02:23:46,360 --> 02:23:52,920
Speaker 14: and now coming along Killian Imbape, the young, wonderful Frenchman,

2557
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:56,640
Speaker 14: the one who is even at the age of twenty five,

2558
02:23:56,760 --> 02:24:00,200
Speaker 14: has won more than most footballers we'll ever do so

2559
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:04,119
Speaker 14: in their life, with already one World Cup to his name,

2560
02:24:04,240 --> 02:24:06,680
Speaker 14: and to be honest, he could have probably had a

2561
02:24:06,800 --> 02:24:10,240
Speaker 14: second World Cup, assuming the last World Cup shootout goes

2562
02:24:10,320 --> 02:24:13,320
Speaker 14: a slightly different way, and at that point he probably

2563
02:24:13,360 --> 02:24:17,680
Speaker 14: also wins the Blundure, the award for the greatest footballer

2564
02:24:17,800 --> 02:24:21,480
Speaker 14: in the world. At that off of that performance too,

2565
02:24:21,520 --> 02:24:25,080
Speaker 14: because that second half against Argentina that Franz had it

2566
02:24:25,200 --> 02:24:27,760
Speaker 14: was some of the greatest soccer I've seen in my life.

2567
02:24:27,760 --> 02:24:29,840
Speaker 14: And it was one man out there trying to salvage

2568
02:24:29,840 --> 02:24:34,280
Speaker 14: the dreams of France and it was Imbape. And now

2569
02:24:34,720 --> 02:24:37,840
Speaker 14: it has been the roar of the world. Behind Ronaldo,

2570
02:24:38,080 --> 02:24:42,440
Speaker 14: behind Messe, there is Killian Imbape. He is the other name.

2571
02:24:42,560 --> 02:24:45,520
Speaker 14: He is the big name to know across the world.

2572
02:24:45,920 --> 02:24:48,320
Speaker 14: And it looks more and more evident that he will

2573
02:24:48,320 --> 02:24:51,520
Speaker 14: be leaving Paris Saint Germain, the club of Paris in

2574
02:24:51,640 --> 02:24:56,920
Speaker 14: one of the most densely populated, most football loven cities

2575
02:24:57,040 --> 02:24:59,800
Speaker 14: in the world, to go to Real Madrid, a club

2576
02:25:00,280 --> 02:25:03,840
Speaker 14: dream for playing for all his life. But he will

2577
02:25:03,879 --> 02:25:07,000
Speaker 14: be leaving PSG. It's becoming more and more evident as

2578
02:25:07,120 --> 02:25:10,560
Speaker 14: the days where on PSG actually subbed him off around

2579
02:25:10,640 --> 02:25:14,040
Speaker 14: the half as they were playing Monaco on Friday and

2580
02:25:14,160 --> 02:25:17,640
Speaker 14: the manager basically saying that we need to be ready

2581
02:25:17,760 --> 02:25:22,400
Speaker 14: to have a future without Kilian Imbape and for him

2582
02:25:22,440 --> 02:25:24,840
Speaker 14: to go to Real Madrid would make him one of

2583
02:25:24,879 --> 02:25:27,840
Speaker 14: the greatest stars in the world period. End of discussion.

2584
02:25:27,959 --> 02:25:30,720
Speaker 14: I believe that playing for PSG, as great as it

2585
02:25:30,760 --> 02:25:35,000
Speaker 14: would be to have a Parisian football team on the

2586
02:25:35,080 --> 02:25:38,680
Speaker 14: global stage. Going to Real Madrid will continue to highlight

2587
02:25:39,240 --> 02:25:42,320
Speaker 14: what exactly he is and the next World Cup, once

2588
02:25:42,400 --> 02:25:46,120
Speaker 14: more in his prime, Euro's coming up this year. Imbape

2589
02:25:46,440 --> 02:25:49,640
Speaker 14: is the name who is always at every stage delivered.

2590
02:25:50,640 --> 02:25:54,360
Speaker 14: Back in November, Imbape reached three hundred career goals and

2591
02:25:54,400 --> 02:25:58,760
Speaker 14: he did it faster than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo did.

2592
02:25:59,040 --> 02:26:03,160
Speaker 14: It was in a record breaking fourteen to zero win

2593
02:26:03,560 --> 02:26:07,480
Speaker 14: playing for France against Gibraltar. And it's not just been

2594
02:26:07,800 --> 02:26:10,840
Speaker 14: what Imbape has done as far as goal scoring, but

2595
02:26:11,240 --> 02:26:13,400
Speaker 14: how he has carried his clubs. As I said, he

2596
02:26:13,480 --> 02:26:15,160
Speaker 14: already has a World Cup to his name at a

2597
02:26:15,320 --> 02:26:17,600
Speaker 14: very young age and almost got a second. But on

2598
02:26:17,680 --> 02:26:20,240
Speaker 14: the club side, let's put Paris Saint Germaine aside for

2599
02:26:20,280 --> 02:26:22,680
Speaker 14: a second. When he was seventeen years old, he's leading

2600
02:26:22,800 --> 02:26:25,640
Speaker 14: Monaco to a League One title and he's taking them

2601
02:26:25,879 --> 02:26:30,520
Speaker 14: to the Champions League semi finals. He's now gotten five

2602
02:26:31,040 --> 02:26:34,800
Speaker 14: closing in on a sixth title in France with the

2603
02:26:34,920 --> 02:26:38,560
Speaker 14: Paris Saint Germain, and while Champions League has eluded him,

2604
02:26:38,879 --> 02:26:43,000
Speaker 14: he's gone in PSG from going from a piece of

2605
02:26:43,080 --> 02:26:45,800
Speaker 14: their roster to we're going to have a big three

2606
02:26:45,920 --> 02:26:50,240
Speaker 14: with neymar Messi and Mbope too. We're going to build

2607
02:26:50,280 --> 02:26:54,160
Speaker 14: around Imbope. When those two left, it's shown more and

2608
02:26:54,280 --> 02:26:57,360
Speaker 14: more he has become the focal point of that team

2609
02:26:57,480 --> 02:27:00,560
Speaker 14: and he will absolutely be a focal point wherever he goes,

2610
02:27:00,600 --> 02:27:04,480
Speaker 14: because he's just that great. But what of the others, Well,

2611
02:27:04,560 --> 02:27:06,760
Speaker 14: there's one other name out there that could contend at

2612
02:27:06,800 --> 02:27:09,320
Speaker 14: this point, and it's a man who has already been

2613
02:27:09,800 --> 02:27:13,199
Speaker 14: Remember how I said that Imbape was out pacing Ronaldo

2614
02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:17,280
Speaker 14: and Messi as far as their goals. What about Earling Holland.

2615
02:27:17,520 --> 02:27:19,880
Speaker 14: We haven't spoken of the man in a while. It's

2616
02:27:19,959 --> 02:27:23,119
Speaker 14: been a little bit of a slow going for Manchester City.

2617
02:27:23,160 --> 02:27:26,600
Speaker 14: They're playing the Manchester Derby against United here on Sunday,

2618
02:27:26,959 --> 02:27:30,520
Speaker 14: always time for some fireworks. But we got to know

2619
02:27:31,240 --> 02:27:35,640
Speaker 14: Earling Holland the Norwegian very quickly last Premier League season

2620
02:27:35,680 --> 02:27:38,359
Speaker 14: when he burst onto the scene and scored goal.

2621
02:27:38,320 --> 02:27:42,199
Speaker 4: After goal after goal after goal after goal.

2622
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:44,440
Speaker 14: To the point where people were wondering, is this probably

2623
02:27:44,520 --> 02:27:47,040
Speaker 14: a problem for Manchester City that he's scoring too many goals?

2624
02:27:47,080 --> 02:27:49,720
Speaker 14: And I don't know in any world where someone scoring

2625
02:27:49,760 --> 02:27:54,520
Speaker 14: too many goals is a problem Earling Holland is already

2626
02:27:55,360 --> 02:27:58,080
Speaker 14: has over two hundred and thirty goals for both his

2627
02:27:58,280 --> 02:28:02,560
Speaker 14: club and for Norway, and he hasn't even turned twenty

2628
02:28:02,720 --> 02:28:03,320
Speaker 14: four yet.

2629
02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:05,119
Speaker 4: So again those are.

2630
02:28:05,120 --> 02:28:09,080
Speaker 14: That's more than Messi and Ronaldo at their same age

2631
02:28:09,200 --> 02:28:13,280
Speaker 14: as well. Now, what will be the problem for I

2632
02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:17,040
Speaker 14: think Holland's down the road is that Norway isn't France.

2633
02:28:17,240 --> 02:28:18,440
Speaker 14: At the end of the day, he will not be

2634
02:28:18,560 --> 02:28:23,160
Speaker 14: playing on a fantastic roster. And indeed, even with Holland,

2635
02:28:23,320 --> 02:28:26,440
Speaker 14: Norway has struggled to get attention both in Euros and

2636
02:28:26,920 --> 02:28:29,880
Speaker 14: to make the World Cup. It's something that still eludes

2637
02:28:29,920 --> 02:28:33,400
Speaker 14: the Scandinavian country and something they'll have to do if

2638
02:28:33,520 --> 02:28:37,240
Speaker 14: Holland want that same recognition as killing Nimbafe. But on

2639
02:28:37,320 --> 02:28:40,920
Speaker 14: the club scene, playing in the Premier League the Great

2640
02:28:41,160 --> 02:28:45,920
Speaker 14: the probably the most competitive top professional club league in

2641
02:28:46,040 --> 02:28:49,959
Speaker 14: the world right now, playing for a team like Manchester City,

2642
02:28:50,360 --> 02:28:53,840
Speaker 14: Holland is out there. He's center stage every morning here

2643
02:28:53,920 --> 02:28:57,560
Speaker 14: in the United States, and the damn if he isn't

2644
02:28:57,600 --> 02:29:00,800
Speaker 14: fun to watch. And he did it again here scoring

2645
02:29:01,360 --> 02:29:06,080
Speaker 14: five goals in the FA CUB route of Lutontown. Back

2646
02:29:06,120 --> 02:29:11,960
Speaker 14: here on Tuesday, and I hate to say it, he's

2647
02:29:12,040 --> 02:29:14,720
Speaker 14: ready to keep building on that again for another season.

2648
02:29:15,080 --> 02:29:18,840
Speaker 14: Manchester City is sitting behind Liverpool right now in the

2649
02:29:18,959 --> 02:29:19,680
Speaker 14: Premier League.

2650
02:29:19,959 --> 02:29:21,160
Speaker 1: They have to gain ground.

2651
02:29:21,240 --> 02:29:24,760
Speaker 14: I expect him to do some fireworks against Manchester United

2652
02:29:24,840 --> 02:29:28,199
Speaker 14: here coming up on Sunday. The wheel of time turns, Bernie.

2653
02:29:28,360 --> 02:29:30,920
Speaker 14: There's always another great ready to take the mantle in

2654
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:32,720
Speaker 14: the world of soccer. What do you think, Will it

2655
02:29:32,760 --> 02:29:35,760
Speaker 14: be Imbape, will it be Holland, will be one of

2656
02:29:35,800 --> 02:29:38,600
Speaker 14: these other young guys coming up, or will it remain

2657
02:29:38,800 --> 02:29:41,640
Speaker 14: messy for the foreseeable future. We shall see and we'll

2658
02:29:41,640 --> 02:29:43,160
Speaker 14: see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2659
02:29:44,400 --> 02:29:47,760
Speaker 2: You know, Chris first brought up Early Holland's name, what

2660
02:29:47,920 --> 02:29:52,720
Speaker 2: a few months before the Men's World Cup tournament in

2661
02:29:52,840 --> 02:29:56,600
Speaker 2: the fall of twenty twenty two, and he was touted

2662
02:29:56,680 --> 02:30:00,920
Speaker 2: as a Wayne Gretzky type goal scorer and he has

2663
02:30:01,160 --> 02:30:04,520
Speaker 2: absolutely lived up to that. Five goals the other night, unreal.

2664
02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:07,080
Speaker 2: So you hear these names, you hear him again and again.

2665
02:30:07,160 --> 02:30:11,360
Speaker 2: World of Soccer. Chris Purfett coming up, we wrap up

2666
02:30:11,400 --> 02:30:14,959
Speaker 2: the show and oh, by the way, always some interesting

2667
02:30:15,080 --> 02:30:18,800
Speaker 2: comments coming out of the combine. The most you know,

2668
02:30:19,680 --> 02:30:22,520
Speaker 2: interesting things out of the combine. Sometimes when the player interviews,

2669
02:30:22,640 --> 02:30:26,560
Speaker 2: one particular player from Texas Tech has some thoughts about

2670
02:30:26,600 --> 02:30:30,200
Speaker 2: the universe. He was gonna regale us with his knowledge. Well,

2671
02:30:30,240 --> 02:30:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to help the young man out. I'm

2672
02:30:31,879 --> 02:30:33,320
Speaker 2: not gonna pick on. I'm gonna try to help the

2673
02:30:33,360 --> 02:30:35,640
Speaker 2: young man out. We'll take care of that. Coming up,

2674
02:30:35,879 --> 02:30:37,640
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to live from the Las

2680
02:30:53,920 --> 02:30:57,480
Speaker 2: I go any further, I first want to thank my

2681
02:30:57,600 --> 02:31:01,880

Speaker 2: performing at one point thirty as always, and he and

2685
02:31:11,879 --> 02:31:16,840
Speaker 2: Roddy are executive producer. Could not do the show without

Speaker 2: you guys. Great job, great teamwork, good stuff tonight on

2687
02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:23,920
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you, as well

2688
02:31:24,040 --> 02:31:28,560
Speaker 2: as again what my name, of course, be back on

2689
02:31:28,680 --> 02:31:33,280
Speaker 2: these airwaves next Friday, eleven pm Pacific for a whole

2690
02:31:33,360 --> 02:31:35,720
Speaker 2: new round of stuff. By the way, it's big lely

2691
02:31:35,879 --> 02:31:40,760
Speaker 2: weaken here in Las Vegas next weekend, the aforementioned Oakland

2692
02:31:40,800 --> 02:31:45,120
Speaker 2: A's will be here in town and we'll have some conversations.

2693
02:31:45,160 --> 02:31:46,960
Speaker 2: And there's still a lot of unanswered questions. Are the

2694
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:48,920
Speaker 2: AIDS coming to Vegas? Yeah, but it's a weird one.

2695
02:31:49,760 --> 02:31:53,480
Speaker 2: It is a weird one. Speaking of weird ones, there's

2696
02:31:53,520 --> 02:31:58,959
Speaker 2: an NFL prospect that says space is not real. Now,

2697
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm not going to pick on this guy. His name

2698
02:32:00,600 --> 02:32:04,800
Speaker 2: is Tyler Owens. He's from Texas Tech. He just simply

2699
02:32:04,840 --> 02:32:08,560
Speaker 2: says he doesn't believe in space on his ESPN College

2700
02:32:08,600 --> 02:32:12,960
Speaker 2: Football Instagram page. And so if you dig into this,

2701
02:32:13,080 --> 02:32:16,560
Speaker 2: you know he's not joking. If he watch his interview

2702
02:32:16,600 --> 02:32:19,880
Speaker 2: at the NFL COMBA, he was serious. He just simply said, quote,

2703
02:32:19,920 --> 02:32:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't believe in space. I'm real religious. So I

2704
02:32:22,040 --> 02:32:24,400
Speaker 2: think we're alone right now. I don't think there's other

2705
02:32:24,480 --> 02:32:29,600
Speaker 2: planets and stuff like that. Okay, So you know, I

2706
02:32:29,800 --> 02:32:31,520
Speaker 2: like to help out when I can now and then

2707
02:32:31,640 --> 02:32:33,560
Speaker 2: and you know, I know high school drop out. I

2708
02:32:33,640 --> 02:32:37,440
Speaker 2: went to full six years. So let me give mister

2709
02:32:37,600 --> 02:32:43,400
Speaker 2: Owens what I believe are four pretty irrefutable pieces of

2710
02:32:43,520 --> 02:32:50,199
Speaker 2: evidence that suggests that science teaches us that they're actually

2711
02:32:50,280 --> 02:32:56,000
Speaker 2: at space. The first one is called the Sun. Everybody

2712
02:32:56,040 --> 02:33:00,680
Speaker 2: a chance look up in the sky and see the Sun. It's,

2713
02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:03,640
Speaker 2: according to the NASA website, four and a half billion

2714
02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:07,000
Speaker 2: years old. It's a yellow dwarf star. It's this giant,

2715
02:33:07,080 --> 02:33:10,360
Speaker 2: hot blowing ball hydrogen and helium basically at the center

2716
02:33:10,360 --> 02:33:13,800
Speaker 2: of the Solar system. It's ninety three million miles away

2717
02:33:14,879 --> 02:33:18,840
Speaker 2: from Earth. It's called the Sun. You can look up

2718
02:33:19,240 --> 02:33:21,600
Speaker 2: and you can see it. It's out in space. Not

2719
02:33:21,680 --> 02:33:24,440
Speaker 2: making this up. And if you again, this is where

2720
02:33:24,480 --> 02:33:27,840
Speaker 2: the six years of high school for me come in handy.

2721
02:33:28,560 --> 02:33:33,040
Speaker 2: All of our daily patterns, our weather, our ocean processes,

2722
02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:37,400
Speaker 2: our food production, our plant growth, so much depends on

2723
02:33:37,680 --> 02:33:41,440
Speaker 2: energy from the sun. For example, if you ate some

2724
02:33:41,600 --> 02:33:45,360
Speaker 2: vegetables today, they wouldn't have grown without the sun and

2725
02:33:45,440 --> 02:33:49,520
Speaker 2: the process of photosynthesis. If you climbed a tree today

2726
02:33:49,760 --> 02:33:53,560
Speaker 2: or saw a tree, that would not happen without the

2727
02:33:53,640 --> 02:33:57,080
Speaker 2: sun and photosynthesis. So there's evidence. Number one the sun,

2728
02:33:57,520 --> 02:34:02,000
Speaker 2: mister orlans just saying, just saying, the moon now at night.

2729
02:34:02,120 --> 02:34:05,280
Speaker 2: You can look up most nights. Well, sure you can

2730
02:34:05,320 --> 02:34:08,879
Speaker 2: see the moon again if you just check Massa's website.

2731
02:34:09,920 --> 02:34:12,920
Speaker 2: They say, quote, the Earth's moon is the brightest and

2732
02:34:13,040 --> 02:34:16,880
Speaker 2: largest object in our night sky, and it makes Earth

2733
02:34:16,920 --> 02:34:19,800
Speaker 2: a more livable planet by moderating our home planets wobble

2734
02:34:20,240 --> 02:34:22,720
Speaker 2: on the axis. What that does is lead to a

2735
02:34:23,120 --> 02:34:26,959
Speaker 2: relatively stable climate. If you're on vacation, you're near the beach,

2736
02:34:27,080 --> 02:34:29,039
Speaker 2: you're likely familiar with the tides when you look at

2737
02:34:29,080 --> 02:34:32,080
Speaker 2: the ocean. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of

2738
02:34:32,080 --> 02:34:34,760
Speaker 2: the Moon and sometimes even a little bit from the Sun.

2739
02:34:35,600 --> 02:34:37,400
Speaker 2: All right. By the way, you might be surprised to

2740
02:34:37,480 --> 02:34:40,760
Speaker 2: learn that we even land another aircraft on the Moon

2741
02:34:40,879 --> 02:34:44,760
Speaker 2: just again last month. Yeah, how could that be if

2742
02:34:44,760 --> 02:34:49,440
Speaker 2: there was no space? Third piece of evidence the stars. Now,

2743
02:34:49,520 --> 02:34:51,880
Speaker 2: remember growing up as a kid, you learned about the

2744
02:34:52,120 --> 02:34:55,480
Speaker 2: Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. And by the way,

2745
02:34:55,640 --> 02:34:58,240
Speaker 2: have you ever just gone out at night and stared

2746
02:34:58,240 --> 02:35:00,720
Speaker 2: at the stars at any time in your life? Or

2747
02:35:00,800 --> 02:35:03,080
Speaker 2: maybe you can read library books to find books about

2748
02:35:03,080 --> 02:35:07,280
Speaker 2: the stars and planets. The North stars shooting stars, even

2749
02:35:07,320 --> 02:35:10,840
Speaker 2: planets like Venuts and Mars. If these things do not exist,

2750
02:35:11,280 --> 02:35:14,960
Speaker 2: the Sun, the Moon, and the stars, well, what the

2751
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:17,920
Speaker 2: hell are those things flying around space every night? Please?

2752
02:35:18,640 --> 02:35:22,440
Speaker 2: Finally you've seen pictures. We have so much evidence that

2753
02:35:22,560 --> 02:35:27,000
Speaker 2: planets and other space phenomenon exists. There are way more.

2754
02:35:28,080 --> 02:35:31,880
Speaker 2: There's way more evidence than four things. We have images,

2755
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:35,720
Speaker 2: we have telescopes of Mars, and massive telescopes like the

2756
02:35:35,800 --> 02:35:40,560
Speaker 2: Hubble telescope reveal things about space that are incredibly stunning

2757
02:35:40,879 --> 02:35:45,280
Speaker 2: that we've been studying for probably one hundred years. Scholars,

2758
02:35:45,840 --> 02:35:50,560
Speaker 2: National Science Center for Education, they've all been providing information

2759
02:35:51,040 --> 02:35:53,959
Speaker 2: for probably one hundred years. So go out, mister Owns,

2760
02:35:54,000 --> 02:35:56,600
Speaker 2: look at the Sun, the Moon, and the stars, and

2761
02:35:57,120 --> 02:35:59,119
Speaker 2: maybe you'll play a night game in the National Football

2762
02:35:59,160 --> 02:36:01,560
Speaker 2: League next year. And when you look up to feel

2763
02:36:01,600 --> 02:36:03,840
Speaker 2: that punt or whatever it is you're doing, you realize, yes,

2764
02:36:03,959 --> 02:36:08,160
Speaker 2: you are looking up into space. I hope this helped.

2765
02:36:09,000 --> 02:36:11,200
Speaker 2: I still respect you. It's gonna do it for the

2766
02:36:11,240 --> 02:36:14,000
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradles Show. See you next Friday, eleven PM. Keep
