South Carolina took at home the game cox 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: they beat Yukon. Scar Yeah, I did not realize just 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: how dominant this team is. Um, they were thirty two 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: and one. How do you compile a record like that? 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean, but they yes, but like they're basically a 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: dynasty at this point, would you say that, Lynch? Well, well, 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: Yukon is the dynasty in women's basketball following Tennessee. But 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: right now they are the strongest program on the planet 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: in women's college basketball. I mean, they would number one 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: in the preseason polls, they would number one in the 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: first poll that came out in the fall, and last 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: night they cemented there's number one officially. Yeah. But what 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: happens now to Dawn Staley. Finally she got that ring 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: that she's been working hard to get. Uh and hopefully 20 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: she'll get some moola out of this as time goes along.

So congratulations, don put in 25 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: the bank, get yourself a new car. You deserve it now. 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: And one thing I enjoy that I'm seeing is that 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: there is a lot of interest now in the women's 28 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: college basketball, way more than it was ten years ago. 29 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad to see it because it's great to watch. 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: Scar absolutely and n I L Name, image and likeness 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: has also put female basketball players in the spotlight completely. 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about Yukon and how much of 33 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: a dynasty it is and Paige Buker's, I mean, she 34 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: kind of leads the way in terms of being able 35 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: to monetize her profile. You know, the women's basketball is 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: number two in all name and image and likeness across 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: the board in the n C Double A to um 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: men's football. And one of the big reasons for this 39 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: is that the number of followers that these players have, 40 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: these women female basketball players, and they're cashing in left 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: and right page. Bukers has the six and seven figure 42 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: deal and a lot of people, a lot of women 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: around the country, uh, and playing in these leagues have 44 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: the exact same thing. And it's because of the number 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: of the followers they have on social media. Now, I 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: want to clarify something. It's the second title win for 47 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: South Carolina, but I believe it's the first for Dawn Staley. 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to clarify that. But speaking of name, image 49 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: and likeness, Stanni Anderson, she stepped up to the I 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: was going to say, to the plate and mixed up 51 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: metaphors and mess everything up. But this is her end 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: of her career, her for South Carolina. What happens to 53 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: her now? I mean, does she go in the w 54 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: n B A. Of course, she's going to get some 55 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: money for you know, and buy this forward. You know, 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: something's going to happen with that and Scar. I hope 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: she cashes. And you know what, I my motto is 58 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: get the money when you can while you can't. Yeah, 59 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: and namage you're gonna like name, image and likeness allows 60 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: female basketball college basketball players to do just that. Um, 61 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if well, I guess it's too early now, 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: but I wonder what the data will show eventually in 63 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: terms of once you go from college to pro, what 64 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: happens to your ability to monetize her name that way. Well, 65 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: now let's head to the man's n C Double A 66 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: basketball tournament. It is tonight, uh nine, I believe tip 67 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: off time Eastern time. That seems late. Well, you know what, 68 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: because it is usually like that now because I was 69 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm like you, Usually it's like, why are you guys 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: tipping off so late? But it's become that time now 71 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: and probably like around midnight as I'm getting up, I'm 72 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: going to find out who won. I gotta watch the game. 73 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't stay asleep. I'm sorry. Kansas against 74 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Kansas is the favorite. They've got a mean 75 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: three pointer. But more importantly, seventy thousand fans over the 76 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: weekend saul Kansas win along with North Carolina scar it's 77 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: pre pandemic. It's great to see, at least the coaches 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: love seeing. Yeah, it's it's quite the comeback for n 79 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: C Double A basketball and this will be a good one. 80 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm a little sad that coach k is not showing 81 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: up in the finals. I mean, I'm excited to see 82 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: u n C go all the way did did you 83 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: pick you? And I picked Kansas? I picked Kansas, Kansas, 84 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: by the way, I picked you picked I picked Kansas, 85 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: by the way, since you brought it up, Uh the 86 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: TV news, Oh, here we go the TV that the 87 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: pool I want because anybody who is still in this 88 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: thing that can catch me also pick Kansas. That's it. 89 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: So you've won one. That's it, it's done. What's what's wrong? Then? 90 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: That's right? How did you do? We're number baby in 91 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: the Lynch camp. Were number one? That's right, That's that's 92 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: what you want in blackjack. But you know, I'm sorry, Scarlett, 93 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,119 Speaker 1: I interrupted, No, no, no, no, I was My chest 94 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: was like all puffed out. Continue no, no, no, I'm 95 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm a little sad to see coach k not win 96 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: in his final final appearance in the n C Double 97 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: A Tournament. But you know, he had an incredible run 98 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: and he goes down in history as as someone truly remarkable. 99 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: I had the pleasure once I'm speaking with him, and 100 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: it goes back to that idea that college bass while 101 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: coaches are really the stars of that system because they 102 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: are the ones who who come in and have to 103 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: mold a team out of new players. Constantly and the 104 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: kind of leadership that they need to um in part 105 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: and show is It's just kind of stunning, how it 106 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: that consistency really tells you so much about their capabilities 107 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: all seriousness, what you're saying, Scar, I agree with you 108 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: ten percent. I had a chance I also to talk 109 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: to coach K. Just a dynamic, brilliant, great guy and 110 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: and it's I have nothing but admiration for him and 111 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: Lynchy and and Scar is right. I am sorry to 112 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: see that he didn't make it to the final. I 113 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: am too. It would have been just a tremendous storybook 114 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: ending his final year. I think back to Al McGuire 115 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: who did the same thing in seventy seven. He actually 116 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: won the title. Uh, he came up against a tough 117 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: North Carolina team that beat him with the last game 118 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: at the Cameron, and he didn't have an answer for 119 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: them down the stretch. A couple of miss free throws 120 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: down there might have spelled the difference in the final 121 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: minute of that game. But coach K walks off with 122 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: his wife Mickey and head held high. And and you know, 123 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: after the game, he didn't talk about himself. He talked 124 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: about consoling the fifteen players he had, and they were 125 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: balling their eyes out because they lost their last game 126 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: of the year. Now, by the way, you mentioned about 127 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: let's say some financial incentives with tonight's game. Well, the 128 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: Kansas Jayhawks have a sponsorship deal with Adidas, who makes 129 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: their uniform that if they make it to the Final four, 130 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: they get the team gets two fifty thousand. If they 131 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: make it into the championship game, they get a half 132 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: a million, and if they win it, and there's one 133 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: million dollars if they win tonight, so that goes to 134 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: the team. UM and the conferences has already two big 135 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: winners already, the A c C and the Big Ten 136 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: already a guaranteed each conference thirty six point six million 137 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: dollars over the next six years. They have eighteen they 138 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: have eighteen units. Now, a unit is an appearance in 139 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: the game. So in other ways, before you play your 140 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: first game, let's take a school like St. Peter's, they're 141 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: guaranteed three hundred thirty nine thousand dollars. Well St. St. 142 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Peter's picked up four units this year, that's one point 143 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: three five six and it's paid out of a six years. 144 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,119 Speaker 1: So that the MAC the conference they play in gets 145 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: eight point one million dollars, but the A c C 146 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten have won eighteen units in this 147 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: year's tournament because they had so many schools in it. 148 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Each each of those conferences will get thirty six point 149 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: six million over the next six years. Did the team 150 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: split the money evenly or it's up to the conference 151 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: to distribute it. The conference makes the decision, and usually 152 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: it's distributed evenly. However, they do have the authority to 153 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: give more, like, for instance, let's take St. Peter's that 154 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: it's a school that made the run. Should we just 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: give them a little bit more money than the other 156 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: schools because they won that money for us? Almost like 157 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: should they get a commission or a percentage on top 158 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: of everybody else. So it is up to each individual 159 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: conference commissioner and usually the school presidents of chiman and 160 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: what they would like as well. Lobby m hmmm, And 161 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: now here comes the rumor story of the week. I 162 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: can't see the woods because of the tiger Okay, that 163 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: was really bad. I did, and it still sounded bad 164 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: when I rehearsed it. But the point is tiger woods. Uh, 165 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: He's going to be a game time decision. According to 166 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: what he's saying if he's going to play in the Masters. 167 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been practicing out there. First of all, 168 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: let me start this way. It's a miracle that he's 169 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: even walking at all compared to the accident that he 170 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: had last year. Yeah, that's a really good point. I 171 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: mean he that was, um a really horrible injury that 172 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: he endured after that, that car accident. And of course 173 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: he's already gotten multiple knee and back surgeries as well. 174 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: So um, people kind of thought and maybe even Tiger 175 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: thought he was done. But now he says it'll be 176 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: a game time decision. Lynch, you were saying that the 177 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: Masters begins on Thursday. He has up until like the 178 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: last minute almost to decide, right he does, and as 179 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: a five time champion, he doesn't have to qualify for 180 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: this tournament. He's he has a lifetime exemption and he 181 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,479 Speaker 1: can if his tea time is eleven thirty on Thursday, 182 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: you can walk up and say I'm in and and 183 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: that's it. And I think the fact that he is 184 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: in Augusta. He was there last week. He played with 185 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Justin Thomas and his son on Tuesday. He showed up Sunday, 186 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: went on the range and then went out on the 187 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: course with his caddie and practice. Billy Horschel, who's a 188 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: great competitor, says he thinks that Tiger is going to play. Um, 189 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: other people who are close to him said he's going 190 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: to play. I mean, he wouldn't come to Augusta if 191 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't sure that he was going to give this 192 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: a go. Now, one of the problems he's had is 193 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: walking courses. You're not allowed to take a cart, and 194 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: it deceptively one of the first things. I've never been there, 195 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: but one of my friends have. The first thing they 196 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: noticed when they get there how hilly terrain is. You know, 197 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: from TV, it sort of looks like a flat course, 198 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: but they said it's much hillier than it looks on television. 199 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: And that's something Tiger told Jim Dance in an interview 200 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles about six weeks ago. That was his 201 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: big concern. He says, flat courses I can handle, but 202 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: the up and down terrain is something I need to 203 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: get used to. So, you know, this decision is going 204 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: to probably be made in the next seventy two hours 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: or so. It's supposed to be rain in Augusta on Tuesday, 206 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: and Wednesday, so he may not be able to get 207 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: out and uh and have a full practice round. But this, 208 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: this is right now going to be the biggest story 209 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: of the week, Handstone. If it's eighteen holes, how much 210 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: walking is involved there? I mean, would he be walking 211 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: in cumulative mile two miles? Three miles? Oh, but we're 212 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: like seven or eight. I think what's amazing to me 213 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: is that his game And now I haven't seen it recently. 214 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: I've been seeing you know, the clips have him practicing, 215 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: but his game always revolved around torque and he got 216 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: obviously the torque from your legs. And I'm just wondering 217 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: now how that is going to affect his game, even 218 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: if he signs to play, how will that help him 219 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: or hurt him? When he's trying to drive a golf ball, 220 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: for example, Well, when he was on the range yesterday, 221 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: he was driving the ball between two eighty five yards 222 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: and that those those are pretty good pokes. Um. But 223 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, on the range is a lot different than 224 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: on the course. On the range, you're standing still, you're 225 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: not moving to take a breather between hitting the ball. 226 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: On the course, you're walking. And over the course of 227 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: the first day and the second day and the third day, 228 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: fatigue sets in, and you know, first of all, your 229 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: arms geu tired, and with who's your arms guitar, then 230 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: your legs get tired. So he's gonna just he's gonna 231 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: test it out. He's probably going to do almost a 232 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: a four hour walkthrough exactly what it would be like 233 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: if he was playing. And then remember there's no guarantee 234 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: he'll be playing on Saturday and Sunday if he if 235 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: he decides to play, he's got to make the cut. 236 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: So he's guaranteed to play Thursday and Friday, and if 237 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: he's better than half the field, he'll be in there 238 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday. I can only see the people 239 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: at CVS right now, just salivating. It's salivating. Can he 240 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: walk with a cane? Can he use any implement? No? No, nope, nope, 241 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: You've got to walk. Well. I think the tip off 242 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: is is hancy. I mixed up another metaphor. The tip 243 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: off is going to be uh that I thought that 244 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: he was going to play when he played that tournament 245 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: with his son, uh several months ago, Charlie. That's when 246 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: I said, you know what he might do this he 247 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: might get he wants to do it. I can see 248 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: him doing that so incredible given that what he almost 249 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: had to have his right leg amputated. Yes, yes, that's 250 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: what I'm saying it. Tiger Woods, good for you if 251 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: you get out there and play. You knocked the home run. See, 252 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep mixing them up until you get out 253 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: on the course.
