We will talk Otani. We will 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: have an NFC West preview. We'll get into some of 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: the SEC media days situations regarding Greg Sankey and his 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: comments about nil. We talk Major League Baseball. We've got 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Medina Magic at midnight, what kind of brand 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: new fool of you? What my name? We've got it all. 15 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: As they say in Kirby Puckett, Minnesota, it's gonna be lit. 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: But we start with we are still basking in the 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: glow of an event that happened last night in Miami, 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: a script right out of Hollywood. And if you don't 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: think this was a big deal, not only did some 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: people pay thousands for their seats, and the team owners 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: committed well over one hundred million to have a chance 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: at a moment like this. And this is his script 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: right out of Hollywood icon. Leno Messi makes his dramatic debut, 24 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: enters the game in the fifty fourth minute, scores in 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: the ninety third minute. The game's greatest active player, a 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: seven time ballot you are winner, World Cup champion, sends 27 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: the ball over four cruises zuel defenders. The winning goal 28 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: bends it around. Every time you watch that goal. It's 29 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: like a b bly love and curveball. Unquestionably the greatest 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: moment obviously in Inner Miami's brief history. But here's the 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: kicker for me. If you don't believe this is a 32 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: big deal, why did Lebron James want to be there 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: so bad? And Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian, Gloria estephano 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: A Tagavaloa, you get the drift. Soccer football is enjoying 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: a renaissance, and this time I think it's gonna stick. 36 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: It didn't in ninety four when I covered World Cup, 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: and I know why. The sport has always suffered from 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: what I call the Canadian Football League syndrome. You don't 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: know who's playing, why they're playing, and what the significance is. 40 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: You just don't know. You want to think you know, 41 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: but you don't. You know. Half the teams are called 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: the rough Riders and they're playing the rough Riders. You 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: just don't know. And Condridge Holloway retired years ago, but 44 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: it's not the same anymore. You know who these names are. 45 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: They're in American cities now, and the Women's World Cup 46 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: has significance. Our team, the women's team is going for 47 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: a three peat, which has never happened. But see, what's 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: interesting is all of our relative enjoyment of these things 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: in life is juxtaposed against what our expectations are. And 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: I think it's expected by a lot of folks that 51 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: Team USA wins it again three peats. They're plus two fifty. 52 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: That means they have about a twenty nine percent chance 53 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: to do it, which is actually very good when you 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: consider you've got a very crowded field. The World Cup 55 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: is off and running, and I already can't wait for 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: next Wednesday, six pm Pacific when they'll teed up against 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: the Netherlands, who coincidentally is who they beat to win 58 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: the World Cup in twenty nineteen. In the finals. But 59 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: is this team and potential danger of getting knocked off? 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: They've rained over women's soccer for so long, their top 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: is being taken for granted, But I think it's being 62 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: challenged by countries now that are finally leveraging their structure 63 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: and the prestige of what the World Cup means to 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: national pride. Are there signs of potential downfall on this team? 65 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: Are there signs? The women's national team is without question 66 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: the most dominant soccer team in the world. But today, 67 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: as you sit and look at the field again, they're 68 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: going to be challenged by countries that are home to 69 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: the sports traditional powers, and they have absolutely gained ground. 70 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: I'll keep in mind the World Cup. The women's World 71 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: Cup team has been so dominant they've only actually lost 72 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: four World Cup games. Ever, they've won the competition four 73 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 2: times ninety one, ninety nine, two, thy fifteen, twenty nineteen, 74 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: and they've been ranked number one by FEFUS since the 75 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: summer of twenty seventeen. That ever fallen below second, two 76 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: time defending champs. You get the picture. But I just 77 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: asked a question, are there signs of potential peril? Remember 78 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: the US stumbled at both the Real and Tokyo Olympics. 79 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: Now one would acknowledge, one would rationalize that's considered a 80 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: quote I say this in their quotes. Smaller tournament, there's 81 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: reduced prestige and the team had already won four times. 82 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: And the main one, right the American women right now, 83 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: soccer's greatest dynasty. They're rementless. They're a victory machine. They're 84 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: basically become a cultural juggernaut. They're a symbol of athletic 85 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: supremacy in the United States. They show the potential of 86 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: what this great country can produce. And they've been the 87 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: faces of soccer. Okay, there's too many names to mention, 88 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: but think of Bill Russell and the Celtics, Babe Ruth 89 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: and the Yankees, Michael Jordan and the Bulls, etc. That's 90 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: what these women actually represent. But the team now, they 91 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: have to know deep down that the gap is closing. 92 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: Not that they can't still win it, but the gap 93 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: is closing. Now. It's not that rival national teams can 94 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: all of a sudden recruit better players from other countries, 95 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: but what they've been doing in the last decade is 96 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: developing their own and this is where in countries football 97 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: is a way of life now when you consider that, yes, 98 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: the women are still world champions and still favorites, but 99 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: when you consider who's ranked two through five Germany, Sweden, England, 100 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 2: France since twenty seventeen, the US is only eleven and 101 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: six against those teams, So they're not dominating those teams 102 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: any given day. Now you feel like potentially the other 103 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: shoe could drop. Ali Wagner, who was a key KG 104 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: on many of those great teams, was quoted the other 105 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: day says, quote by far, we are in a much 106 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 2: different landscape in women's soccer that we ever have been before. 107 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: We're in a place now quote where teams don't fear 108 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: the US anymore. They play with us, they play against 109 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: us in club football. There's familiarity. They've beaten us, and 110 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: they've seen other teams that have beaten us. When you 111 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: get outside the World Cup, now, Ali Wagner would know 112 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: a thing or two. She's a two time Olympic gold medalist, 113 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: but she was also part of the group that faltered 114 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: at the two World Cups in the two thousands, all right, 115 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: I believe it was two thousand and three, two thousand 116 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: and seven, twenty eleven, and she was part of those teams. 117 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: Now the US has just lost twenty games. Check that 118 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: they've lost two of their last twenty three games. But 119 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: what was interesting is they played an excellent German team 120 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: in the World Cup semi final back in three, and 121 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: that sort of set the tone for five and seven. 122 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: Against Brazil and the World Cup. They got to the 123 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 2: semi final and the US struggled. They even had an 124 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: own goal. So since three, Germany was the only other 125 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: team with multiple World Cup crowns. But interestingly enough US 126 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: has had good success against him. Now there may be 127 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: four teams that could knock the US out Back in 128 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: the early two thousands. In those years, it required the 129 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: US team to have a bad day and the other 130 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: team had to have a great day, and the Americans 131 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: would win tournaments. Okay, but all of a sudden now 132 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: England's Football Association, they've sort of suppressed the organization of 133 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: women's football for fifty years, they've woken up the Lionesses 134 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: their national team. They missed three of their first four 135 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: World Cups. But when Title nine was letting the spark 136 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: and women's sports were starting to come alive, the English 137 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: were really deciding to get out of the dark ages 138 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: as it were. I when you consider the history, the 139 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: recent emergence of England, and I bring up England because 140 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: they're the second favorite, they would not surprise me. And 141 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: it'd have to look at the brackets that if we 142 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: are you know, we fast forward to I think it's 143 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: August twentieth is the final if memory serves that, it's 144 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: the US and England playing each other. All right now, 145 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,479 Speaker 2: the US women, justifiably, they're always going to be respected 146 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 2: for the foundation they bring their game. They've preserved through 147 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: the decades. What they have done is nothing short of 148 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: sensational when you consider the consistency they've shown. Spanish women 149 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: finally qualified for the World Cup in twenty fifteen, and 150 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: they have emerged as a team Spain that is very, 151 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 2: very formidable. So among the fourteen nominees for last year's 152 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: Best Fetal Player award, just too Alex Morgan and Brazil's 153 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: Debina Well, they play in other leagues, so they have 154 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: an opportunity to observe other teams and how they stack up. 155 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: The moral the story is the gap has closed, and 156 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: Ali Wagner is one of the people stepping up admitting it. 157 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: She has, by the way, partnered with Hall of Famer 158 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: Brandy Chastain, someone I admitted I had interviewed great respect 159 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: for her, and they're already talking about having to work 160 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: on better improving player development going forward, because, as you know, 161 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 2: and I talked about this last night, this women's team 162 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 2: has been beset with a lot of injuries, goal scorers, 163 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: center backs, defenders. They're not feeling the same type of 164 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: team fourteen new players, and part of the reason they 165 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 2: had issues in Tokyo was because they're trying to mesh 166 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: the old with the new and it's not so easy. 167 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: But the bottom line, let the games begin. The US 168 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: is still a favorite. They got to get past Netherlands 169 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: next Wednesday, and then they'll play Portugal on the following 170 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: I believe August first. If they win both those games, 171 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: obviously they win their Group EE. If they tie win 172 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: win one, likely they win Group E. Suffice it to say, 173 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: I believe they will emerge out of Group E. But 174 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: let's also recognize the fact that if they don't win Groupee, 175 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 2: they might find themselves a tremendous gauntlet as you get 176 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: into the knockout round where it's win and go home. 177 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: Just food for thought.

Let's bring in a gentlemen. 220 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: You've heard him on my show many times over the 221 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: last two three years. Developed an interesting concept having to 222 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: do with rich referees likely to call the most penalties, 223 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: what types of penalties home and away? Lots of different dichotomies. 224 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: He's taking it a step further now spring in our 225 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: good friend Joe Gibbs of NFL ref Stats. 226 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: Joe, how you doing, buddy, great gunny, how you doing? 227 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: Good? Deal man? So good to get you back the 228 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: NFL is here. We talk a lot offline, So let's 229 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 2: bring the folks into some of the brain trust and 230 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: let me just set this up. I think what we're 231 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: going to do tonight, Joe, is just focus on two teams, 232 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: the Raiders and the Lions. But let's start at the 233 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: top and work down as to what your theory is 234 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: and the premise having to do with teams that have 235 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: an average of x amount of penalties per game and 236 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: how that relatively affects their performance winning and losing and 237 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: covering spread. 238 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 4: Okay, well, I mean the penalties per game. Obviously, the 239 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 4: more you have, the less chance you have to win. 240 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 4: Backed up by all the numbers. I mean, I'll just 241 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 4: give you last year for example, of the top ten teams. 242 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: The top ten least penalized teams, six made the playoffs. 243 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 4: Of the top ten most penalized teams, only three made 244 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: the playoffs, and those three got bounced in the wildcard rounds. 245 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 4: That tells you right there, of the playoff games, of 246 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 4: the thirteen playoff games last year, the team that won 247 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: the penalty count won ten of the thirteen. So that 248 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: kind of gives you an idea. And I've basically just 249 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: broken down team by team for the season comparatively season overseason, 250 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 4: And as you mentioned, the Lions and the Raiders are 251 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 4: two teams that sort of stand out, and I can 252 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 4: go through some numbers with those. 253 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do that. Because the Raiders retied with the 254 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: Broncos second half average of just under seven penalties per game. 255 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: What's interesting you, And this is where these the state 256 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: of Matters referees, as you pointed out in the past, 257 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: are more prone to call penalties against the road team 258 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 2: versus the home team, but not so much when comes 259 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: to the Raiders. They were the number one team playing 260 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: at home. I'll tell you, why don't you go ahead 261 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: and give that stack? 262 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, So this is the interesting one. First off, big picture, 263 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 4: and this is interesting because the Broncos caught a lot 264 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: of flak last year, deservedly so about how undisciplined they 265 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: were with penalties. They averaged like a six point sixty 266 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 4: seven per game or something like that. Well, here's the 267 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 4: crazy part. The Raiders tied with the Broncos to the 268 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: second most penalties per game on average. So the Raiders 269 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 4: were no better, but they seem to avoid that sort 270 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 4: of criticism that Denver got that. Let's go back to 271 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 4: the Raiders hea home and away. The Raiders are the 272 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 4: number one penalized home team in the league last year 273 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: seven point one three penalties per game. And so you 274 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 4: know this, Bernie. That Allegian Stadium, it's a fantastic facility. 275 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 4: It's across the street from Manelee Bay, across the freeway. 276 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 4: The problem is it's so good that the opposing team 277 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 4: their fans make a point of getting to it. It's 278 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 4: a destination hub for every single team teams playing in Vegas, 279 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: they want to get there. The Raiders have no home 280 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: field advantage. 281 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: Well, you're spot on. That has been born out and 282 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 2: one of the reasons we have these segments and you'll 283 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: be on frequently during the football season is when you 284 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: look ahead to week three, when you look ahead to 285 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: Week five, which are two critical home games, you have 286 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: two fan bases that travel extremely. 287 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 4: Well, yep, you've got Week three. So the Raiders home opener, 288 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 4: Week three, Sunday Night Football versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. There 289 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: all week you're gonna hear the talking heads talk about 290 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: this is the Raiders' home openers. Well, it's really not. 291 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: It's gonna be like Heinsfield in nevadom. We'd have to 292 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 4: catch a bottle there or whatever they go. So, yeah, 293 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 4: that's the first game. Pittsburgh fans travel better than anyone. 294 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 4: So Week three, Sunday Night Football in Las Vegas, it's 295 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 4: gonna be terrible, tells everywhere. I guarantee it to be 296 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 4: seventy percent Steelers fans. So the Raiders' next home game 297 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 4: is Week five, Monday Night Football versus the Green Bay Packers. 298 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 4: You're talking about a huge fan base travels and burning. 299 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 4: You know this, when Wisconsin football plays college football games 300 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 4: in in Nevada, Oh yeah, they travel. They't pack that setting. 301 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: That's gonna be old pack of fans, not all, but 302 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: you know, eighty percent pack of fans. So the Raiders 303 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 4: two first home games are essentially road games. And then 304 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 4: you look at that. 305 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: Go ahead, no, go ahead. 306 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 4: Oh, and then you look at you know, their games 307 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 4: for next season. 308 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: I looked at them. 309 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 4: They got Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Kansas City, Denver to the 310 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 4: divisional opponents Minneapolis, Minnesota. They go there, they're gonna they're 311 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 4: gonna pack the stadium. The only teams they may not 312 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 4: have a home field issue with would be the charges 313 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 4: that any. 314 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: Fans, you know, you bring up another interesting point about 315 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 2: the Raiders. H First of all, they average almost one 316 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: full penalty at home, more so than on the road. 317 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 2: But it's not just the types are not just a 318 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 2: number of penalties, but the types of penalties pre snap penalties, 319 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: delay a game, a legal formation, too many men on 320 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: a few defensively. And your theory is that starts at 321 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: the top of Josh McDaniels. 322 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, I mean, all this stuff starts the top. 323 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 4: And so look, you touched on McDaniel last year where 324 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 4: everybody was sort of, you know, praising him. He said, 325 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 4: not so fast, and you were right about that, and 326 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 4: these numbers there it out. But the Raiders were just 327 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: on discipline pretty much across the board, and like you 328 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 4: mentioned preasing that penalties, which are well, these things are avoidable, 329 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 4: but they didn't avoid him, and so that goes straight 330 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 4: to the coach. And McDaniel doesn't have any sort of 331 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: track record prior to this. He was a disaster in Denver, 332 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 4: and then he was a disaster last year with the 333 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 4: Raiders and he won and they didn't seem to be 334 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: getting any better to me. And then the other part 335 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 4: of the Raiders, they were the co leaders for unsportsman 336 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 4: like conduct, which is kind of right up their alley. 337 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's fair, So we're gonna, okay, so we're going 338 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: to continue, obviously to track this as the season goes. 339 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 2: But I want to juxtapose the Raiders, and let's take 340 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: the statement you just made they're not getting any better 341 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: with the team the Detroit Lions, who proves totally, at 342 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: least from the standpoint of penalties per game, that as 343 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: they improved in that area, their record improved as well. 344 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 5: Oh. 345 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 4: Absolutely, the Lions. It's like the tale of two seasons 346 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: for the Lions. You look at their first eight games 347 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 4: of last year, they were two and six. They were 348 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 4: averaging six point three penalties per game, which put him 349 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 4: in the top ten average the second half of the season, 350 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 4: those final nine games, they dropped from six point three 351 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 4: down to four point three penalties per game. Now, it 352 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 4: wasn't the younger reason, but it was a big part 353 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 4: of the reason they finished seven and two and oh 354 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: like the hot team in the NFC to end the season. 355 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 4: And so it's one of those things. They can the 356 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 4: Lions pick up and hit the ground running when they 357 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 4: left off last year. That's that's the big question going 358 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: in the next season. But in stark contrast to the Raiders, 359 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 4: the Lions were number twenty seven overall in pre SNT 360 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 4: penalty so they weren't beating themselves with silly penalties, delay 361 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: a game or legal motion and those things keep you 362 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 4: playing ahead of the chains. And that's the lines did 363 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 4: so extremely efficient on offense. Defensively, it has some issues 364 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 4: early on, but they fixed those as the season's bressed. 365 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: But the lines were extremely efficient in that second half 366 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 4: of the season, and the numbers there now. 367 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, and let's take it a quick step further because 368 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: one of the reasons, and I understand the importance of analytics, 369 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 2: I've always considered it to be a guideline, not an 370 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 2: inflexible anchor, because primarily analytics tell you what happened yesterday. 371 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: They're not necessarily going to tell you what's going to 372 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: happen tomorrow. However, the Lions, you point out, ranked second 373 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: in per game average for offensive holding penalties last year. However, 374 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 2: their offensive line returns with much more experience this year, 375 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: and their defensive backfield ranked fifth last year for defensive 376 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: pass interference penalties. And they've improved in the defensive backfield 377 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: at least on paper. 378 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, well that's the business. Leading the defensive pass 379 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: in appearance that ranks fift overall the season. This is 380 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: last year. Yeah, like you said, do get set up. 381 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 4: Those penalties occurred in the first eight games in the 382 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 4: second off the season, the Lions, they were one of 383 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: the least penalties for defensive passive appearance. They figured something 384 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 4: out midway through the season, and the numbers, you know, 385 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 4: the numbers are. 386 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 2: What they are. 387 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 4: But yeah, they've added players, the Lions. Everyone's talking about 388 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 4: him again. You gotta do it, so we'll see. 389 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: And of course again at the top, Dan Campbell and 390 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: then their de coordinator Aaron Glenn, both I think have said, yes, 391 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: have set a tone, Joe, this is the type of 392 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: data we're going to follow throughout the season. We're definitely 393 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: gonna get you back on before the Lions open up. Uh, 394 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: I believe six weeks from Thursday, maybe five weeks from Thursday. 395 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: It's Thursday, September seventh, as a heaven point an underdog 396 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 2: against the Kansas City Chiefs. But this is something we're 397 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: going to continue to follow because this is an important 398 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 2: part of the game. Thanks Joe, Thanks Bernie. Having one 399 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: that is Joe Gibbs NFL ref Stats, and as the 400 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: season goes on, he'll continue to compile more data. We 401 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: try to mind that data from the standpoint of certainly 402 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: having it create a semblance of logic so that you 403 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: can apply it towards your betting. All right, coming up, 404 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 2: I'm going to re I'm going to reiterate my strong 405 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: stance that I do not believe the Angels should nor 406 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: I believe they will trade Shohao Tommy. But first let's 407 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: go to our guy Nick Cope. 408 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 6: How you been next, bet Bernie, I know it has 409 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 6: been a while. I'm great to have you. It is 410 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 6: great to be back. I can't wait for all our shenanigans. 411 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 6: Later on show, Brand New fool and all that, but 412 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 6: as it stands right now, we do have some live 413 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 6: sports going on Women's World Cup. This game was interesting 414 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 6: for a moment. In fact, still is really South Africa 415 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: is number fifty. 416 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: Four in the world. 417 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 6: They scored early in the second half on number three Sweden, 418 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 6: but Sweden has answered. It's currently one one in the 419 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 6: seventy first minute. He got the Netherlands and Portugal coming 420 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 6: up at three thirty am Eastern on FS one. Those 421 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 6: two are in the same group as the US, that's GROUPY, 422 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 6: and the US is set to take on the Dutch 423 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 6: Wednesday night, and then you've got France and Jamaica coming 424 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 6: up six am Eastern time on Fox. In golf, American 425 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 6: Brian Harmon leads the open by five shots going into 426 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 6: Sunday's final round. He's at twelve under. Cameron Young in 427 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 6: second at seven under. John Rahm shot sixty three on Saturday. 428 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 6: He is six shots shots off the pace at six under. 429 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 6: Final pair tees off at nine to fifteen am Eastern. 430 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 6: In the NFL, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones did not 431 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 6: report for the start of training camp. He wants a 432 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 6: new contract. He's entering the final year of his current 433 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 6: four year, eighty million dollars deal. ESPN says Jones in 434 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 6: Kansas City are far apart in negotiations. Some notable games 435 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 6: in baseball yet matchup of division leaders. Dodgers crushed the 436 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 6: Rangers sixteen to three, Freddie Freeman hit a pair of 437 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 6: home runs, and Texas had to put shortstop Corey Seeger 438 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 6: on the ten day injured list. He's got a sprain thumb. 439 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 6: Brewers rallied for a four to three win against the Braves. 440 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 6: Red Sox and Mets split a doubleheader, and the nightcap 441 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 6: Boston hit four homers off Max Scherzer an eight to 442 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 6: four win. There Orioles blew a five run lead, but 443 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 6: then they ultimately beat the Blue Jays six to five. 444 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 6: The Reds went back to back to back with home runs, 445 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 6: a four to two win over the Diamondbacks, and the 446 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 6: Pirates blank the Angels three to not thing Bernie back to. 447 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: You, all right, thanks, Nick, will have a fun time tonight. 448 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: Now let's get back to Atani because the calendar in 449 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 2: half an hour here on the left coast will turn 450 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: to July twenty third, which will make it a grand 451 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: total of nine days until the trade deadline. So the 452 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: big question will the Angels trade Otani or not. I 453 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 2: want to interject a little revisionist history here because I 454 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 2: was back in twenty sixteen the New York Yankees were 455 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: faced with a similar situation, and we all hear that 456 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: the group think echo chamber is you've got to get 457 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: some back for him. You know, you can't risk only 458 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: getting the seventieth pick overall, well get a haul, you 459 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: even get it. And I've always said the problem is 460 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: it's theoretical. You cannot you cannot compare or equate the 461 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 2: herschel Walker trade with that happened in the NFL back 462 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty nine. When you know, Jimmy Johnson and 463 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones, give them credit, boy, if they built the 464 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: foundation of the Cowboys, that's you know, for every time 465 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: that happened, there's fifty times where it's worked out the 466 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: other ways. And this is why I invoke the New 467 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: York Yankees, because back in twenty sixteen, Yankees had a 468 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: loaded club, but they were underachieving. So people were saying, 469 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: you know, it's time to rebuild, time to rebuilt. Now, 470 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: we don't rebuild. We're the Yankees. We don't We're never 471 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: sellers were buyers. Well, all of a sudden that the 472 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: trade deadline in two thousand sixteen, Brian Cashman traded his stars. 473 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: He traded a Roldis Chapman to the Cubs. He traded 474 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: Andrew Miller, who was considered the best reliever in baseball, 475 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: to the Cleveland Indians, and traded Carlos Beltrand to the 476 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: Texas Rangers. What did he get back? He got back 477 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: eleven players, ten of them minor leaguers, and boy, Brian 478 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: Cashman was king among men. And now it was reported 479 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: he got five of the top sixteen prospects in all 480 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: of baseballs, in all of baseball. Excuse me. The moves 481 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: allegedly vaulted the Yankees farm system to the best in 482 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: the league, and they after that. I said there were 483 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 2: eleven names, there were still three more prospects in the 484 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: top one hundred. Here's the kicker again, I used it twice. Sorry, 485 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 2: long at short of it is, all of those eleven 486 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 2: players that the Yankees got, there's only one you can name, 487 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: labor Taurus. He's worked out ten of them. I could 488 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: rattle off the new James. It's not gonna matter. You'd 489 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: have heard about him. By now. And oh, by the way, 490 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 2: stop me if I'm wrong. How many World Series have 491 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 2: the Yankees won since twenty sixteen? When Brian Cashman was 492 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 2: told what we were told, he got the Hall of 493 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 2: the Century. And what a great job he's good at 494 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: being in cell mode. Wow, we didn't know you had 495 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: it in you, all right, So it's theoretical you may 496 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 2: or may not get back a great haul for shohel 497 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: tiny and you're not gonna know for a while. And oh, 498 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: by the way, many of the players in this Hall 499 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: will not have yet played a day in the major leagues. 500 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 2: And you're trading away a guy who's not generational, he's 501 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 2: multi generational. He's once in a century. And this is 502 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: exactly why I invoked the reference Back in nineteen eighteen, 503 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 2: when Harry Frazy, who owned the Boston Red Sox, traded 504 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 2: checked that sold Baberut to the New York Yanks for 505 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars so he could finance to play 506 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: No No Nonette. He never lived it down. The curse 507 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: of the Bambino was born, and you know how it 508 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 2: goes from there. That happened to be Babe Ruth's sixth 509 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: season in the major leagues. It was the first season 510 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: he was a full time hitter. He had three twenty 511 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: two that season, twenty nine home runs, one hundred and 512 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: thirteen runs bad at and you might say, well, are 513 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: those great numbers? Yeah, back then, whole teams were hitting 514 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: twenty nine home runs, by the way. By the time 515 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: Ruth got to that point, he was ninety two to 516 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 2: forty one as a starter, with the microscopic area at 517 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: two point two eight, and then he went on to 518 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 2: hit seven hundred and fourteen home runs. This happens to 519 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: be Shoheo Tani's sixth year in the big leagues. You 520 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: do not trade Shojeyo Tani. Why. Look, owners are obligated 521 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: to put the best, most competitive team, most entertaining team 522 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: on the field, put butts in seats. How do you 523 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: do that without Otani? The rest is theoretical. I know, 524 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: I know you might get nothing for him. You're gonna 525 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: get a big haul. You don't know what you're gonna get. 526 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: All I know is that baseball is show business, and 527 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: Otani is a showman. And I will tell you that 528 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: there are lots of guys you can make a case for. 529 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 2: Why did the Yankees just trade aeron Judge and get 530 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: another Hall. They're not winning anything with him and he's hurt. 531 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: And by the way, Judge did hit sixty two home 532 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: runs last year. Can you imagine if he'd have done 533 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: that in a non Yankee uniform. Otani, I'm not predicting it. 534 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: He may hit sixty home runs this year, which you're 535 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 2: gonna have him do that somewhere else. Baseball is show business. 536 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: The owners are obligated to put the best, most competitive, 537 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 2: most entertaining team on the field. And Ardi moreno, I think, 538 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: is in his own way, is trying to do that. 539 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: This is an organization that's not had a great history 540 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years of scouting and development 541 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: in their minor leagues. But all of a sudden they're 542 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: gonna get a Hall and that's gonna change overnight. And 543 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: by the way, in this man's Major League Baseball, I 544 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: know the Angels have scuffled in the past two weeks. 545 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: Now they're showing some signs of life again. They lost 546 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: Saturday night to Pittsburgh. But this man's Major League Baseball 547 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: playoff format, if you're merely five hundred on Labor Day, 548 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: very much in the hunt. So do you know for 549 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: fact that the Angels won't sneak into the Plaoffs this year. 550 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: I will tell you the Rally Monkey team back in 551 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: two thousand and two that won it all. Check what 552 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: their record was heading into May, and they had to 553 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: struggle down the end. They didn't run away with it 554 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: by any stretch. So in baseball, you can catch lightning 555 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: in a bottle. This is what happens. Teams get to 556 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: Labor Day, they're in a hunt. Somebody rips off seven 557 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 2: in a row, and they emerge. Why couldn't that be 558 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: the Angels? The beginning dropped back by then. By the way, Shohitotani, 559 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: he's only twenty nine years old, he's entering his prime. 560 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: He has many serviceable years left, and the Angels got 561 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: him on a bargain years ago. What's to say even 562 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: if the Angels stink it up this year. But they 563 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: managed to come to terms with whatever it may be. 564 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: And as anybody told you, they have told me that 565 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 2: money is the number one thing with Otani, I haven't 566 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: heard that. I think he likes living where he lives. 567 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: There's a comfort zone. He's an understated guy. I think 568 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: he likes the vibe there in southern California. I think 569 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: he likes the vibe with the Angels. Yes, they haven't won, 570 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean they can't at some point in 571 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 2: the next three to five years if they keep him. 572 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: You don't know. You can't look into a crystal ball. 573 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: Tell me you think you know what's gonna happen. I 574 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: just don't think you let a babe Ruthian legend get 575 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: away for any price. He does two jobs, not one, 576 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: and he's in historical talent. And I want to reiterate 577 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: for the thousandth time, this is show business. People forget that. 578 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: Not only does Showy how TONI put on a show nightly, 579 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 2: including the fact he has a chance to get the 580 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: sixty home runs this year, maybe past Roger Morris, maybe 581 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 2: even Passer and Judge by eating sixty three home runs. 582 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 2: Not predicting it, but remember winning is the best entertainment. 583 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: So even if it's not this year, but maybe next 584 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 2: year the Angels do start to win, well, then there 585 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: you have it, and Otani gives the Angels the best 586 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: chance to win in baseball. Sometimes the future is now. 587 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 2: The will give it everything they can to try to 588 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: make the posts. This year, I'll give it an eighty 589 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 2: five percent chance they don't trade Otani. We shall see 590 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: if I'm right. All I gotta tell you is Harry 591 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 2: Frozy among baseball historians. Well, you know the comparison is fair. 592 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: The comparison is fair because we will, in retrospect over 593 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: the years, know whether this trade would have made sense 594 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: or not. And I will tell you I think there's 595 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 2: a high probability that it wouldn't work. You can get 596 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: back the hall. You find Otani in another uniform and 597 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: you rude the day you traded him. Just my opinions. 598 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 2: Dennis Miller once said, of course, that's just my opinion. 599 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: That could be wrong. We shall see tonight. Show brought 600 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: to you by Discover.

Before I get into the 618 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: Tani stats, I'll tell you it. I'll do that first 619 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: because I'm going to refresh your memory about a huge 620 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: trade that the Yankees had. I'm gonna give Brian casher 621 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 2: On some credit back in January twenty twelve, and it 622 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 2: surprised a lot of folks, but it really got a 623 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: lot of it really made headlines because Seattle had a led. 624 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 2: The prize catch in the trade was a twenty two 625 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 2: year old catcher who the Mariners wanted, by the name 626 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 2: of Jezus Montero. Hold that name. I'm going to come 627 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 2: back to you. I'm going to come back to that. 628 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: This is back. You know why I get to the theoretical 629 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 2: aspect of be careful what you wish for, and this 630 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 2: group think echo chamber narrative that you trade not a 631 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 2: generational player, a four time generational player, a century once 632 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 2: a century player in Otani. You don't make the same 633 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: mistake Harry Frozy did back in nineteen eighteen, after the 634 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 2: same number of advats in the major leagues, Babe Ruth 635 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: had one hundred and fifty nine home runs, chay Otani 636 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty. After their first four hundred and 637 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 2: fifty five innings pitched side by side, Babe Ruth had 638 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 2: a one lost percentage in the mound of thirty five 639 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 2: and eighteen Otani thirty five and nineteen. By the way, 640 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 2: it just keeps coming. Last money. Choey Otani became the 641 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 2: fifth player since two thousand with thirty five home runs 642 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 2: in their team's first thirty first ninety five games. Barry 643 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 2: Bombs did it and no one Luis Gonzalez also did it. 644 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge and Chris Davis did it in twenty thirteen. 645 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: Hasn't been done in ten years. So now you're not 646 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: just mentioned, you're not just comparing Otani to Ruth. You're 647 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 2: throwing in names like Barry Bonds and Tuesday Night. The 648 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 2: next night, Otani was one hit sigh of a cycle 649 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 2: for the seventh time this season. The last time a 650 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: player missed the cycle by one hit seven times the 651 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 2: first ninety five games was back in nineteen thirty one. 652 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 2: Some guy named Luke Gerritt did it. So now you're 653 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 2: mentioning Otani next to Ruth, Judge, Bonds, and Garrick. By 654 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 2: the way, one other thing, because I can do this 655 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: all night. Choey O'tani is leading the league in triples 656 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: and home runs. If he ends the season on top 657 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 2: in both category, he'd be only the fourth player in 658 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball to accomplish that. Feet who else did it? 659 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Jim Rice. It's now you're 660 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 2: mentioning Otani along the same names, asked Ruth, Gerrig, Bonds, Judge, 661 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 2: Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Jim Rice. Okay, and you're gonna 662 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 2: trade him, you know you're gonna, Yeah, You're gonna trade 663 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 2: him for Joel slabot Nik and Eddie Gazinski because everybody's 664 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 2: telling you how great they're gonna be. And you can't 665 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 2: get stuck and all that, Let's go back to Jesus Montero, 666 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 2: twenty two rod catcher with the Mariners prize possession. The 667 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 2: Mariners were giddy when they got Jesus Montero from the 668 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 2: New York Yankees. Why. Part of the reason was he 669 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: had a September call up in twenty eleven, hit three 670 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 2: twenty eight with four home runs and sixty played appearances. 671 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 2: He was ranked sixth on Baseball America's Prospect List and 672 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 2: seventh on Baseball Perspectus. Third consecutive appearance at each site 673 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 2: can't miss right. They were talking about this guy Montero. 674 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 2: I'm not going to quote the Seattle general manager at 675 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 2: the time. He said, hey, you watch this guy. Oh 676 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 2: my god. It's not just that he has great at bats. 677 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: He does it on quality pitches against quality starters. He 678 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: did it in Triple A. You bring it up, he's 679 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 2: going to be the next Albert Poolholes. Well his Montero 680 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 2: entered his major league baseball career with twenty eight home runs. 681 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 2: That's fewer than pool Holes hit in fourteen separate seasons. 682 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 2: In retrospect, you ask yourself, did the Yankees know something 683 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 2: or did they suspect Montero wasn't quite the prize. Did 684 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 2: He's seen from the outside, even though Brian Cashman compared 685 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 2: him publicly to Miguel Piazza or to check that Mike Piazza, 686 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 2: Miguel Cabrero said the best player I've ever traded. Well, 687 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 2: you saw what happened where there's some gamesmanship here, I 688 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 2: say yes, And this is why you got to be 689 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 2: careful about this Hall. Theoretically you're gonna get for show. 690 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 2: Hey Otani. The theory to me is obvious. There's an explanation. 691 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 2: I play a little baseball. There's an information gap. Teams 692 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 2: that watch a player every day know more about him 693 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 2: than teams who want to trade for him, especially more 694 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 2: than the prospect rankers. Right, So if the Angels get 695 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 2: this Hall, remember somebody's giving these guys up too, and 696 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 2: there's no guarantee that that team will sign Otani. My 697 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 2: theory is that there's an information gap that exists, and 698 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: when you look at a player's makeup, when you look 699 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 2: at him statistically, you look at his baseball mind, you 700 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 2: look at his habits, his lifestyle, you know a lot 701 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 2: more about the player you're trading that the team who's 702 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 2: about to get them Oftentimes, the teams will acquire a 703 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 2: guy and they'll start to learn things about him that 704 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 2: other organizations knew, but they couldn't possibly know because they're 705 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 2: not with him every day like the trading team was. 706 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 2: They don't see him in the weight room. They don't 707 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,959 Speaker 2: see how he handles himself on the road. They don't 708 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 2: see how he eats in restaurants. They don't know his 709 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 2: mental intangibles. They don't know his eagerness, is willing to 710 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: work hard? How's he going to adapt during the slump. 711 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 2: Good scouts will scout other teams and they'll know some 712 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 2: of these things, or they'll form impressions. But there's no 713 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 2: way that the organization that the player is with knows 714 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 2: less than the organization that wants to get him. In fact, 715 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 2: they often know a great deal more research research Jesus 716 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 2: Montera on your own. If you don't believe me, do 717 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: not trade show Yotani. You will rue the day that 718 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 2: we mentioned. Next to Harry Frozy and The Curse of 719 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 2: the Bambino.

They have a great way of staying 729 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 2: in front of you damn near twenty four to seven. 730 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 2: That's why every Saturday night we tell you flat out, 731 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 2: it's that time. Oh, Mark Medina, our Fox Sports Radio 732 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 2: NBA Guru brings us Medina magic every Saturday night, Mark, 733 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 2: it's that time. How you doing with your NBA summer 734 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 2: so far? 735 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 5: Well, you're probably the first time in a while that 736 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 5: had trickled down a little bit. But then, you know, 737 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 5: there's always things that pop up, like Kyrie Irving. 738 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 2: And the Drew League. We're gonna get to that in second. 739 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 2: But uh, Draymond Green, the irrepressible Draymond Green never saw 740 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 2: a microphone he didn't like. 741 00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 5: Uh. 742 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 2: When he starts to talk about his relationship with Chris 743 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 2: Paul and we're both adults. Blah blah blah. What's your 744 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 2: take Mark heading into this season in terms of, forget 745 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 2: how they're going to mess on the court, how do 746 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 2: they mention the locker room. 747 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 5: Well, I think that the locker room messing will be 748 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 5: a lot better than Jordan Poole. And maybe that doesn't 749 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 5: mean much because the standard is as long as no 750 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 5: punches are thrown. But I think that while there are 751 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,760 Speaker 5: going to be questions about how Chris Paul stays healthy, 752 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 5: how minimal will he be with adjusting to his role 753 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 5: after starting like basically every game of his career, you know, 754 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 5: there's no question that they know that he is about 755 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 5: the same things that they value as far as work 756 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 5: ethic and winning mentality basketball IQ. And so I'm actually 757 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 5: bullish that this can work out. Now the larger point 758 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 5: that you made about Draymond and his comments, I don't 759 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 5: think that the Warriors are thrilled with it. Obviously they've 760 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 5: tried to put this whole Jordan Poole situation behind him, 761 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 5: but I think it obviously revealed that as much as 762 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 5: they did try to put it behind him, it was 763 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 5: something that affected both players. And now that being said, 764 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,240 Speaker 5: you do give them some kudos that they were able 765 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 5: to put aside their personal differences and still coexist professionally 766 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 5: and still mesh reasonally well on the court. But you know, 767 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 5: it doesn't help when you have that festering over in 768 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 5: addition to the fact that the Warriors were just wildly 769 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 5: inconsistent all season, whether it's Shordan Poole or Klay Thompson 770 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 5: and Andrew Wiggins. So it made for a very turbulent season. 771 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 2: Very much. Jill and I'm in agreement. You have a 772 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 2: couple of elder statesmen here, and I'm looking forward to 773 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 2: seeing how Steve Kerr makes this mesh. I have a 774 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 2: funny feeling you're going to see a very focused Golden 775 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 2: State team this year. Let's go back to the aforementioned 776 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 2: Karie Irving. Whyse he missing around on the Drew League? 777 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, look, I'm an LA native here right now, 778 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 5: so I know what the Drew lea is all about. 779 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 5: I mean, guys like the hoop there, it's a legitimate league. Absolutely, 780 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 5: what is should he have with it? Then? 781 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 2: What is it worth turning an ankle or getting injured? 782 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 2: I mean fair, listen, listen, this is a guy who's 783 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 2: at Okay, I want to hear what you got to say, 784 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: but let me kind of set this up. Here's the 785 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: issue I have with it. I believe Kyrie is at 786 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 2: a serious crossroads in his career. Okay, Boston, Cleveland, Brooklyn, 787 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 2: everywhere has been it's been a dumpster fire because of him. 788 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 2: Now he goes to Dallas and he got paid, which 789 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 2: shocked me, not only the size of the contract, but 790 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 2: the link of the contract. I don't know how being 791 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 2: in the Drew League helps him helps the Mavericks win 792 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 2: a championship next year. And I come from the Kobe 793 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 2: Bryant school. If what you're doing today isn't helping you 794 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 2: win that championship, edited out of your league, edited out 795 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 2: of your daily team, that's my issue, Mark, I don't 796 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 2: know what good comes out of this. 797 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, well here's how I feel. I don't necessarily 798 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 5: see harm per se and participant in DRU League or 799 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,320 Speaker 5: any pro am league. While injuries can happen in any game. 800 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 5: I think the bottom line is that you know that 801 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 5: has more to do with kind of the randomness and 802 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 5: body composition and playing and Drew League. But I do 803 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 5: agree with your point that it doesn't necessarily mean anything. 804 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 5: And that's where I do roll my eyes a little 805 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 5: bit that he is trying to, you know, play up 806 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,800 Speaker 5: the always possible things in his mind of maybe playing 807 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 5: in LA and just being a conversation. So yeah, I 808 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 5: always wonder the motives regarding Kyrie Irving, and so in 809 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 5: that case I did roll my eyes. But you know, philosophically, 810 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 5: there are a lot of guys that play regularly in 811 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 5: the Druly, like de Mark Rosen for example, and it's 812 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 5: just yeah, guys like to play basketball usually no harm 813 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 5: in it. 814 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 2: Well, and to be fair in this set the record Street, 815 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of the Drew League. It's for 816 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 2: the cool kids. I just don't. I just don't think 817 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 2: that Kyrie Irving is a cool kid, uh, speaking of the. 818 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 5: Guys, No, I agree on that part. 819 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 2: Speaking of someone who I think is very much emerged 820 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 2: as a cool kid. Have you seen the documentary about 821 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 2: Steph Curry and everybody's forgotten his humble origins before he 822 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: even got to Davidson. 823 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 5: You know, it is on my to do list to watch. 824 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 5: But you know, obviously being on the Warriors speed for 825 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 5: a few years, very well aware of his story that 826 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 5: you know, look, we look at Steph Curry as his 827 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 5: generational talent, and he is, but he very much was 828 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 5: an underdog player. I mean he, you know, even came 829 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 5: into the NBA with skepticism about was he actually a 830 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 5: star just a shooting specialist. But at time at Davidson, 831 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,919 Speaker 5: you know, he he was someone that had earnest ripes. 832 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 5: Bob McKillop did not tolerate his mistakes initially, and you know, 833 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 5: I remember talking to Steph Curry, you know, a few 834 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 5: years ago about Davidson the whole underdog mentality that is 835 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 5: still something that he feels like in the back of 836 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 5: his mind. And that might sound weird because he is 837 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 5: one of the best players, but he's ill, feels like 838 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 5: he always has something to prove in that even though 839 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 5: we all give him as flowers, there is this undercurrent of, 840 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 5: you know, qualifiers about his game and you know, whether 841 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 5: it's a shooting or oh he's not physical enough, or 842 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 5: his ankles are gonna you know, fall out underneath of them. 843 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 5: You know, he definitely has this kind of understated chip 844 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 5: on his shoulder. And it might also sound weird because 845 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 5: he's a guy that plays with joy, but he very 846 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 5: much has kind of an inferiority complex and that kind 847 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,879 Speaker 5: of Michael Jordan complex off. He takes notes of every 848 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 5: single slight reel we're imagined and he uses it to 849 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,320 Speaker 5: fuel himself. 850 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. Talking with Mark Medina or Fox Sports 851 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 2: Radio NBA Guru Medina Magic, which we do every Saturday 852 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 2: night midnight Pacific on the Bernie Frattle Show. So a 853 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,359 Speaker 2: gentleman that we both respect in Lanka, rash Marcazi. I 854 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: take umbrage in his phraseology that he thinks it's a 855 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,399 Speaker 2: long shot if the arena will be built here. Here's 856 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,800 Speaker 2: why I say, and I want you to respond. This group, 857 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 2: the Oakview group, they're serious players, and they got plenty 858 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 2: of money, and they've even fired a shot across the 859 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 2: bow that we won't be taking any money like the 860 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 2: Oakland A's did. They've already purchased a land on Blue 861 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 2: Diamond and Las Vegas Boulevard. Folks who don't know where 862 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 2: that is. That's about three miles south of Mandalay Bay. 863 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 2: Plenty of great land there. And I firmly believe why 864 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 2: you appily point out it's going to be years, we 865 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 2: are probably going to get an NBA team in Vegas 866 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 2: in the Oakview Group has a history of successfully building 867 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 2: and funding top flight arenas. Why does he think it's 868 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 2: a long shot. 869 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 5: Well, look, Bernie, I just gotta be transparent. I'll have 870 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 5: to defer to him. I mean, I haven't really poked 871 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 5: too much into it, as a pertan said the Oakland Athletics. 872 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,959 Speaker 5: But I think to your larger point about the NBA, yeah, 873 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 5: you're hit on the money that it's inevitable they're going 874 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 5: to have a league. You know, I've been told that 875 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 5: don't expect anything within the next few years because there 876 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 5: are things to be sorted out, including what an arena 877 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 5: will it be, will be an existing one or it 878 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 5: will be a new one that's publicly financed or privately backed. 879 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 5: But yeah, it pertains the oquin As. I gotta I 880 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 5: gotta refer to him or the baseball guys. Are you? 881 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 5: I mean, you obviously know what's going on in Vegas. 882 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 2: The reason I invoked the comparison is the oak Few 883 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,479 Speaker 2: group is coming to town. They've already purchased the land. 884 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,720 Speaker 2: They're not looking they're not looking for any public money, 885 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 2: and they have a history and a track record, And 886 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 2: I firmly believe that after the new CBA or check 887 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 2: that the new TV agreement mark is ratified. In twenty 888 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 2: twenty five, I think you'll see the pace pick up 889 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 2: quite a bit in terms of an NBA team coming 890 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 2: to Las Vegas and we'll have already made rena arena 891 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 2: that's privately built. 892 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, look, I will give it to you this 893 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 5: that I can speak on full authority here from what 894 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,320 Speaker 5: I've been told in my reporting Lens is that the 895 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 5: media rights deal being negotiated. That's the number one priority 896 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 5: right now twenty four five. So to back you up, 897 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 5: once that gets resolved, expect that there will be a 898 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 5: lot of quick movement with US. And it's not gonna 899 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 5: be a relocation, will be expansion. I think you know 900 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 5: when I've talked to people, it's gonna be you know, 901 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 5: Seattle and Vegas at the same time. To give that 902 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 5: an even number, maybe there's some conference realignment to you know, 903 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 5: balance the West and East, and obviously Seattle and Vegas 904 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 5: would be in the West. So yeah, that is gonna 905 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 5: be a huge domo to be taken care of, that 906 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 5: media right steal, and then after that it's gonna be 907 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 5: some of those other things that I outlined. But yeah, 908 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 5: you we may as well call you the mayor of 909 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 5: Las Vegas, so I'll see you the floor. 910 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 2: On the other things, talking with Mark Medina, the guru 911 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 2: of Fox Sports Radio when it comes to all things NBA, 912 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 2: Medina magic every Saturday night midnight on the Bernie Frattles Show. 913 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk Dame Lillard and let's talk James Harden. 914 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,240 Speaker 2: It's gone radio silent. That doesn't mean there's no movement. 915 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 2: But you happily pointed out a year ago when we 916 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 2: were having the same conversations about about Kevin Durant and 917 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving and lo and behold they started the season 918 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 2: with their same teams. Thoughts on Lillard and Harden. 919 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 5: Well, look, when teams are radio silent lead into the 920 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 5: trade headline, you think, okay, that means that something's up, 921 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 5: because usually when trades happen, they don't leak ahead of time. 922 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 5: The radio silence, now, I think, is you know what, 923 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 5: It's the middle of the July and this is the 924 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 5: rare time that you know, people can really take off 925 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 5: and look, while gms they haven't shopped to work the 926 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 5: phones and all that. I think the bigger point is 927 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 5: that there's not necessarily any deadline pressure. I mean, I 928 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 5: think really the pivot point is once you know, training 929 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 5: camp starts opening up in the late September, and so 930 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 5: right now that you know, teams don't have that same 931 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 5: sense of urgency. And so I want to be surprised 932 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 5: that some teams are trying to get away from things. 933 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 5: But I think that the larger point stands that we've 934 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 5: been talking about with Philadelphia James Harden. You know, Daryn 935 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 5: Morris said publicly what I've been saying and you know 936 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 5: for a while now that the parameters for James Harden 937 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 5: deal is a deal that makes sure they still remain 938 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 5: in championship contention. Look, we can debeat the finer pointer 939 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 5: they have championship contender. But the Sixers mind they are 940 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 5: because they have Joel Embiid. And even though Joel Embiid 941 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 5: had mentioned at an event uninterrupted in La about you know, 942 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 5: playing with Philadelphia or anywhere else, you know, Darryl Moorey 943 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 5: is also setting radio interviews that Joel Embiid is asshured 944 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 5: him that he wants to stay in Philadelphia. And I've 945 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 5: been told that so much that he even told Darryl 946 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,800 Speaker 5: Moorey he wants to stay there forever now, semantics aside, 947 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 5: no player ever see stays with the franchise forever. I 948 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 5: think the larger point is that, you know, the comments 949 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 5: that he made, he stressed shouldn't be interpreted that he 950 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 5: wants out. But you know, look, this is always fluid, 951 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 5: so we'll see what happens. But I want to be 952 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 5: surprised that not only that Joel Embiid is still with 953 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,720 Speaker 5: the Sixers, but that James Harden is with the Sixers 954 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 5: at least to open training camp with Damian Lillard. I 955 00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 5: would be surprised that he is with the team entering 956 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 5: training camp, just because you know that is an awkward situation. 957 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 5: But look, for whatever it's worth, the people in Portland 958 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,959 Speaker 5: have stressed to me that they are comfortable if they 959 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,760 Speaker 5: have to wait for a trade lead into next season 960 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 5: trade deadline before they find something to their liking. But 961 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,439 Speaker 5: I think that if I had a guess, he goes 962 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 5: to Miami and they wind up working out a deal 963 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 5: before training him start. 964 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I certainly agree with you. There is no pending 965 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 2: pressure vs V deadline. They've got all the time in 966 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 2: the world, at least as we sit here right now. 967 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 2: But there's an od dynamic. Dame really wants to go 968 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 2: to Miami. Can they really make that work? You may 969 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 2: have answered the question a second ago. And for whatever reason, 970 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 2: Harden wants to live in LA but it only wants 971 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 2: to be with the Clippers, And so they're trying to 972 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 2: thread the needle on both deals. I might not be 973 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 2: so easy. Do you expect neither to work both to work, 974 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 2: or one one to work in the other not to work. 975 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, I might had a guess, and it's only one 976 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 5: deal that I happens. I think that Damian Loward deal 977 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 5: is more likely to happen than the James Harden deal 978 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 5: because I think that, you know, even though Miami may 979 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,439 Speaker 5: not have as much as they like with Portland, they 980 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 5: know how to be creative. I think it's inevitable get 981 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 5: teams involved. Look at Oklahoma City. They have a lot 982 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 5: of assets as far as you know, draft picks of 983 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 5: the Spence, expiring contracts, et cetera. And they could also 984 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 5: be the placeholder for some of other expiring contracts that 985 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 5: neither team wants. I think the other thing is that 986 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 5: Portland is in a different position than Philadelphia. Portland their 987 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 5: ceiling is, Hey, they're a sneaky good playoff team, but 988 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 5: probably nothing else, and so with that they might be 989 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 5: more willing to accept. I wouldn't say not such a 990 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 5: fair trade, but a trade that doesn't fully match Damian 991 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 5: Loward's value as opposed to Philadelphia with James Harden. I 992 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,359 Speaker 5: think the standard is simply just going to be higher 993 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 5: for the sixer because they feel that they can still 994 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 5: be in the mix in the Eastern Conference. But look, 995 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 5: NBA unpredictable. There's a reason why you bring me on 996 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 5: every week because there's always so much new things unpacked. 997 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 2: Well, I think your premise is correct. You may be pressing. 998 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 2: I can tell the oddsmakers here at Caesars have Portland 999 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty to one to win their division. 1000 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 2: It wouldn't be the case if Dame was still there. 1001 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 2: So I think it's you're probably right. Could there be 1002 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,280 Speaker 2: final question? Could there be the proverbial three team deal 1003 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 2: which gets this thing off the dime? 1004 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 4: Well? 1005 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 5: How about this? Why not make it four teams? 1006 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 2: Sure it's happened before. 1007 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean some people around the league think that 1008 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 5: when these trades happen, the Philly trade is going to 1009 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 5: be the same trade with Portland. And now that's not 1010 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 5: going to mean that James Hardin's with the Blazers and 1011 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 5: Damian Lillard's with the Sixers, but that because there's so 1012 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 5: many different dominoes and moving pieces and priorities all these 1013 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 5: teams have, and you know, all these complicated salary cap 1014 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 5: roles navigate that they're all going to be part of 1015 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 5: one large deal involving other teams at least four. So 1016 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 5: I'm giving myself a headache trying to just figure out 1017 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,279 Speaker 5: which teams woul get involved in how the cap maneuverings 1018 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 5: would work. But there is a feeling that we got 1019 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 5: to buckle up because that might happen. 1020 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 2: Mark, great stuff is always and the NBA has truly 1021 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,320 Speaker 2: found a way between NBA con the Summer League, the 1022 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 2: hot stool League, as it were, to keep their name 1023 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 2: in the news.

Remember the NFC 1057 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,479 Speaker 2: West to center representative to three of the pass final 1058 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 2: Super Bowls this year. Looks like it's a two horse race. 1059 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 2: I'll break it down for you, all right. Green Bay 1060 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,920 Speaker 2: had a linebacker as a young man from Michigan, not 1061 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 2: the University of Michigan, which was a small school. But 1062 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 2: he went from being a fourth round pick to a 1063 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 2: thirty million dollar free agent. And he started as a 1064 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 2: practice squad guy, but by the age of twenty eight, 1065 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,960 Speaker 2: he'd become a very good NFL linebacker. Of course, I'm 1066 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:58,919 Speaker 2: talking about Blake Martinez. Blake Martinez. After accomplishing all that, 1067 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 2: from going to practice squad guy, fourth round pick to 1068 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 2: a thirty million dollar free agent, he quit. He quit football, Okay, 1069 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 2: it happens, that's his right. Wants to do other things 1070 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 2: with his life. What does Blake Martinez do these days? 1071 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 2: He makes a ton of money selling wait for it, 1072 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 2: Pokemon cards. Yeah, you heard that right, And we're talking 1073 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 2: about a strange but sort of a wonderful story. And 1074 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 2: this really astounds me because what has been sort of 1075 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 2: a cottage business for probably the better part of twenty 1076 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 2: five years is become a multimillion dollar thing for Blake Martinez. Yes, 1077 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 2: I'm not joking. Now, millennials certainly know what Pokemon cards are. 1078 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 2: I'm not a millennial, but I certainly know what Pokemon 1079 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 2: cards are too, because he's to buy him for my kids. 1080 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 2: And I found a bunch of them in a closet 1081 00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 2: about a year ago, and I went and sold them 1082 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 2: to a baseball place. I got a couple hundred bucks. Right, Well, 1083 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 2: I'm a piker when it's compared to what Blake Martinez 1084 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 2: is doing. All right, Blake Martinez has essentially turned a 1085 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 2: side hustle into a big time bonanza. Not only is 1086 00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 2: Blake Martinez running this business full time, He's hired twenty 1087 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 2: full time staffers, including a college soccer player and uh 1088 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 2: she's part of I guess she streams uh content, I 1089 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 2: guess whatever. Here's what's amazing to me about the Blake 1090 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 2: Martinez Pokemon card story. Former NFL linebacker of the Green 1091 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 2: Bay Packers, Blake Martiniz who walked away from thirty million 1092 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 2: he routinely makes routinely makes six figure profits off of cards. Now, 1093 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 2: look what he Allen said it best. Nostalgia is a trap. 1094 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 2: And if you've got the right Pokemon cards and you 1095 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 2: know what you're doing, you can play upon that nostalgia 1096 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 2: because a lot of those cards were made back in 1097 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 2: the nineties and even early two th But I am 1098 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,120 Speaker 2: told that if you are in possession of an old 1099 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 2: Pokemon card in pristine condition, it's gotta be in pristine condition, 1100 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 2: nice new shiny, no bent corners, any of that kind 1101 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 2: of stuff that can get close to seven figures. Yeah, 1102 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 2: seven figures is a million dollars. You don't believe me. 1103 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:24,440 Speaker 2: Blake Martinez recently sold a rare Pikachu illustrator card for 1104 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 2: six hundred and seventy two thousand dollars. Now, Blake Martinez's 1105 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 2: Pokemon company, with twenty full time employees, hasn't even been 1106 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 2: in existence a full year and it's already pulled in 1107 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 2: almost twelve million dollars. It's good to be Martinez. What 1108 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 2: a country, what a story, tip of the cap to 1109 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 2: form a Green Bay linebacker Blake Martinez who now makes 1110 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:55,480 Speaker 2: a fortune selling Pokemon cards. Coming up, we preview the 1111 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 2: NFC Wests. First, let's go back to our guy, Nick 1112 01:00:59,320 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 2: Cope with the. 1113 01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 6: L Stanford guy, Blake Martinez. No surprises, right. 1114 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, yeah, he's a bright kid. He's from a 1115 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 2: small school in a small high school in Michigan. 1116 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 6: Good for him, man, good for him. Hey, Women's World Cup, 1117 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 6: we had some drama there in that earlier match. Sweden 1118 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 6: came back from down a goal in the second half 1119 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 6: to avoid an upset, and they ultimately defeat South Africa 1120 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 6: two to one. That would have been a massive upset. 1121 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 6: South Africa's ranked fifty fourth in the world, Sweden third. 1122 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 6: So the Swedes they get that game winning goal in 1123 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 6: the ninetieth minute to earn three points in the group. 1124 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 6: Netherlands Portugal just kicked off on FS one. They're in GROUPIE. 1125 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 6: That's the same as the United States.

Red Sox and met split 1150 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 6: a doubleheader twins inch by the White Sox three to two. 1151 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 6: Orioles blew a five run lead, but they did end 1152 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,640 Speaker 6: up beating the Blue Jays six to five. A's beat 1153 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 6: the Astros four to one. That snapped a nine game 1154 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 6: losing streak for Oakland against Houston, and the Pirates blinked 1155 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:21,040 Speaker 6: the Angels three to nothing. That snapped a four game 1156 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 6: winning streak for La Bernie. 1157 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 2: Back to you good stuff, Nick, and you'll keep us 1158 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 2: oppressed to that Netherlands Portugal matchup. Bulls to those two 1159 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:36,880 Speaker 2: countries represent the US women's team their next two opponents. 1160 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the NFC West. It's that 1161 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,919 Speaker 2: time of year. We started last week with the AFC West. 1162 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 2: We're going to work across the country, do all eight divisions, 1163 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,760 Speaker 2: and that'll take us right up to the start of 1164 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 2: the NFL season, which is upon us, believe it or not. 1165 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame game is a week from Thursday. Yes, 1166 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 2: it is upon us, so as I said a minute ago. 1167 01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,520 Speaker 2: The NFC West, they've center representatives of three of the 1168 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 2: past five Super Bowls. But this year to be very 1169 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 2: much a two team race, two team Mores race, and 1170 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 2: those two teams, in my humble opinion, the forty nine 1171 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 2: ers in the Seahawks, I believe they will contend for 1172 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 2: the division title. And I believe the Rams and Cardinals 1173 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 2: are going to be a long season. And the odds 1174 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 2: bear that out. Okay, right now, the Niners are a favorite, 1175 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 2: fairly prohibitive favorite minus two hundred. Check that minus one 1176 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 2: fifty to win the NFC West. It means you have 1177 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 2: to bet one hundred and fifty dollars to win one hundred. 1178 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,439 Speaker 2: But look, the Niners really established themselves as the cream 1179 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 2: and the crop. Last year. They were thirteen to four, 1180 01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,919 Speaker 2: They won their ten final regular season games. They made 1181 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 2: it to the NFC Championship Game with a third string 1182 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, mister irrelevant. I hate that term because I 1183 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 2: like Brock Purdy. Unfortunately, fate intervened and you end up 1184 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 2: with a four stringer, Josh Johnson. They all got hurt 1185 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,120 Speaker 2: and they were going up and down on the stands 1186 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 2: trying to find a quarterback. But on defense, the Niners 1187 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 2: came up the fused points and yards per game en 1188 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 2: route to their conference championship. Defense travels okay. The forty 1189 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 2: nine ers even bolstered their defense this offseason. They signed 1190 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 2: a lineman from the Eagles, Jason Hargrave. You've heard of 1191 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 2: Jason Hargrave. Now we expect brock Perty to return to 1192 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 2: the field right around the time the season starts. We 1193 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 2: don't know if he's gonna be ready to play or 1194 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,880 Speaker 2: hop into a live action game. And look, you may 1195 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 2: see Trey Lance have to start a game or two. 1196 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 2: I don't think Trey Lance is ready. I think we've 1197 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 2: been hyped Trey Lance to death. Again. If you disagree 1198 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 2: with me, don't tell me, show me. They kept showing 1199 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,320 Speaker 2: those three highlights of North Dakota State, and two of 1200 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 2: them are running plays. And I can't get it out 1201 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 2: of my mind that the game he started last year, 1202 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 2: they were basically running the nineteen oh six t wing offense. 1203 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,080 Speaker 2: That didn't Shanahan didn't let him do anything. I mean, 1204 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 2: it was embarrassing in terms of the plays they were running. 1205 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 2: But the Niners, their defense will travel, Their defense will 1206 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 2: sustain them, and they basically got a former first team 1207 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 2: All Pro damn near every position on offense except for 1208 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 2: quarterback quarterback is the most important position. But the Niners 1209 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,880 Speaker 2: death will be great. The Seahawks are plus two hundred, 1210 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 2: which means you have to win. To win two hundred dollars, 1211 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 2: you bet a hundred, all right, Rams, or check that. Diners, 1212 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 2: you bet one hundred and fifty, you win one hundred 1213 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 2: if they win the division. Niner the Seahawks, you bet 1214 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 2: one hundred, you win two hundred. So Seattle did address 1215 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 2: some concerns on defense. They signed Bobby Wagner, the top 1216 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 2: graded linebacker. In twenty twenty two, they draft Devon Witherspoon, 1217 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 2: great pick out of Illinois to partner with Tarik Woollen. 1218 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,400 Speaker 2: The Lions really wanted Devin Witherspoon. That's a tremendous nice 1219 01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 2: pair of young cornerbacks to anchor their defense. The Seahawks, 1220 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 2: you know, they may not be strong in the trenches 1221 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 2: when they faced the Niners, but they're gonna be highly competitive. 1222 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,920 Speaker 2: They push for a playoff spot. Really proud of what 1223 01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 2: Gino Smith did last year. The Rams they're gonna be 1224 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 2: long shots plus seven to fifty. Good things don't last forever. 1225 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 2: Just ask the Rams. They did get their Super Bowl. 1226 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 2: Thank you. Jakwaski Tart for dropping the arm punt, but 1227 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,880 Speaker 2: then last year five and twelve, and they might even 1228 01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 2: be worse this year. Now Matt Stafford returns, but you 1229 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 2: know he can't do it alone. He proved that in 1230 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 2: the past. And you know Cooper cup were he was 1231 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:23,040 Speaker 2: injured last year. They should still form a great passing duel. 1232 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,160 Speaker 2: But the Rams don't have much else beyond that, And 1233 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 2: well that's not fair totally. Aaron Donald Hill anchor the 1234 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 2: defensive line, but he only played eleven games last year. 1235 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 2: He had worst professional season last year. Jaden Ramsey, Von Miller, 1236 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner, they're all gone, and what was once inn 1237 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 2: elite defense is not expected to potentially be one of 1238 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 2: the worst in the league. No running game, a bad 1239 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 2: offensive line, a deteriorating defense. LA. The LA story is 1240 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 2: not likely to be a good one this year. And 1241 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 2: then there's this Arizona Cardinals. They're twenty five to one 1242 01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 2: to win the division, so they're even more soft than Rams. 1243 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,520 Speaker 2: The Cardinals thought they had drafted their franchise changing quarterback 1244 01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 2: a few years ago when they got Kyler Murray with 1245 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 2: a first overall pick, but he's been very inconsistent and 1246 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 2: he's twenty eight and thirty seven in his career. Murray 1247 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 2: also missed the end of last season with an ACL tear. 1248 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 2: They're saying he won't return before Week five, and that's 1249 01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,840 Speaker 2: at the earliest, So Arizona could be one of the 1250 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 2: worst teams in the entire NFL this year. JJ Watt retired, 1251 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 2: Buddha Baker wants out, although I hear you he is 1252 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,759 Speaker 2: reporting to camp, and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins they released 1253 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,479 Speaker 2: him obviously a long time ago, and he's latched on 1254 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:39,639 Speaker 2: with someone else now. So look, they did hire a 1255 01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator and Jonathan Gannon and he had a you know, 1256 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 2: as their new head coach, and this is he's debuting, 1257 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 2: So it's it's adding up to real a long season 1258 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 2: in Arizona, all right. The Cardinals they have their and 1259 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,120 Speaker 2: Houston Texans first round draft picks him the twenty four 1260 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,760 Speaker 2: to twenty four draft, So maybe it's just a one 1261 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,000 Speaker 2: season deal and Arizona can get back to respectability. They 1262 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 2: were in the playoffs the year before last, which brings 1263 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 2: us to the team totals, and this is a popular 1264 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 2: futures market. Bet the over under on how many with 1265 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 2: a number of wins. The team will have and finish 1266 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:20,240 Speaker 2: with the regular season. So let's dive into this. The Niners. 1267 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 2: They're over under is ten and a half wins. Look, 1268 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,599 Speaker 2: they went thirteen to four last year. The Niners did 1269 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 2: they own? I believe the best top to bottom roster 1270 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 2: in the league. Despite losing two quarterbacks to injury. The 1271 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,799 Speaker 2: Niners have proven they can win in virtually any scenario 1272 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,599 Speaker 2: and they can play smashing mount football. But they also 1273 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,679 Speaker 2: got plenty of skill, great on both sides of the ball. 1274 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 2: They can get in a shootout, they can beat even 1275 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 2: a low scoring battle. It's super bust. I believe in 1276 01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 2: Super Bowl for Bus for them forty nine ers. I'll 1277 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 2: be shocked if the forty nine ers win less than 1278 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 2: eleven games. I would only go over the total of 1279 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 2: ten and a half wins. The key stat the Niners 1280 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 2: have won double digit games and reached the conference title 1281 01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 2: game in three of their past four seasons. I don't 1282 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 2: see why this season is any different. Seahawks over under 1283 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 2: only eight and a half wins. Now. They may have 1284 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 2: arrived ahead a schedule last year, but now they have 1285 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 2: legitimate playoff expectations. As you head ended this season. Loved 1286 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,759 Speaker 2: Geno Smith enjoyed a resurgent year. He was even mentioned 1287 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 2: in some MVP talks Boo before he kind of tailed 1288 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 2: off at you a little bit, and Pete Carroll he's 1289 01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 2: trying to rebuild the legion of Boom. We're gonna find 1290 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,839 Speaker 2: out the key stat these Seahawks have the tenth easiest 1291 01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,639 Speaker 2: strength to schedule in twenty twenty three. They also went 1292 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 2: four to oh last year against the Rams and Cardinals, 1293 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 2: but they didn't go zero to two against the Niners. 1294 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 2: Do they go over there win total of eight and 1295 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,240 Speaker 2: a half? Yeah, I think the Seahawks can go nine 1296 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 2: and eight. Why not the Rams over under six and 1297 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 2: a half? And I did mention Cup and Stafford, but 1298 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:49,920 Speaker 2: this might be the last year those guys were there, 1299 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 2: depending on how the season goes. The key is the 1300 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,400 Speaker 2: Rams are just simply going to be outmatched at every 1301 01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,320 Speaker 2: position on the field. And they were awful in their 1302 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 2: metrics last year. They were twenty six in rushing, twenty 1303 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 2: eighth in point differential, they were thirty second in yards 1304 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 2: per game last year. Regardless, we'll see if Stafford and 1305 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 2: Cup can help them. But the Rams were five and 1306 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 2: twelve last year. Did they win two more games this 1307 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,759 Speaker 2: year with the worst team, have to believe the Rams 1308 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 2: go under six and a five, under six and under 1309 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 2: six and a half wins. Goodness graces all right. By 1310 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 2: the way, the Rams had the fifth worst point differential 1311 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two and they were only three and 1312 01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 2: six in games Stafford started. Yeah, Stafford was ten and 1313 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,599 Speaker 2: sixty five in Detroit. By the way, against teams above 1314 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 2: five hundred. He got a Super Bowl tip of the cap, 1315 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 2: but I got receipts, so we'll see what he does 1316 01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,639 Speaker 2: this year. Arizona over under four and a half wins. 1317 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,599 Speaker 2: Oh boy, The Cardinals have the Super Bowl odds two 1318 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,600 Speaker 2: hundred to one, and you gotta be real optimistic to 1319 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,639 Speaker 2: think two hundred to one. If you want to place 1320 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 2: your bet on that, you might as well let your 1321 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,760 Speaker 2: fire and money, or let your money on fire. At 1322 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 2: least keep you warm. They don't have a single position. 1323 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,439 Speaker 2: Arizona does not have a single position group they are 1324 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 2: content with. They're always looking to improve. So again, Arizona 1325 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,800 Speaker 2: did hire a defensive minded coach as their head coach, 1326 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,000 Speaker 2: but that doesn't necessarily help elevate quarterbacks or offense, and 1327 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 2: he can't play. So the other thing, too, is first year, 1328 01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:20,799 Speaker 2: coaches often have a difficult run in the National Football League. 1329 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 2: They got to be very disappointed in Carler. Murray signed 1330 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 2: the lucrative contract last year. He's failed to convince any 1331 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,200 Speaker 2: of his critics. He's still in the proven stage of 1332 01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 2: his career. I don't think he can count on him 1333 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,960 Speaker 2: for anything. And the key stat the Cardinals gave up 1334 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 2: the second most points in the league last year, went 1335 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,600 Speaker 2: one and five against their own division. I don't I 1336 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,040 Speaker 2: think I'd stay away. The Cardinals could go five to twelve. 1337 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,639 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're that bad. They only win 1338 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,760 Speaker 2: four games this year. We shall see, but I do 1339 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,640 Speaker 2: like the Niners to go over and the Seahawks to 1340 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 2: go over and the Rams to go under. Next week 1341 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 2: we will shift to the NFC North coming up. Okay, 1342 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 2: we've got a verdict at Northwestern and will re visit 1343 01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,560 Speaker 2: it ever so quickly. Sad story for a very proud institution. 1344 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 2: We'll give you the latest and what's going on there. 1345 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddleick Company Live for the Las Vegas Fox 1346 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 2: Sportsradio tarrac dot Com studios.

Come up top 1350 01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 2: of the hour. We'll take a quick peek into the 1351 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:38,679 Speaker 2: SEC Media Day and what Greg Sankie what he's calling 1352 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 2: on Congress to set a national standard for athlete compensation. 1353 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree with him, but he 1354 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:50,000 Speaker 2: brings up some excellent points. I will share what he did. Yes. 1355 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 2: SEC Media Day always a treat. I'm not gonna waste 1356 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 2: my time on the Lane kiff and stuff for the 1357 01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,680 Speaker 2: Paul Finebaum stuff, for the Nick Saban stuff, but it 1358 01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,759 Speaker 2: is a treat to watch. What's not been a treat 1359 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 2: is a proud Northwestern University who's embroiled in a very 1360 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 2: serious saga. Nine days after a Northwestern fired coach Pat Fitzgerald, well, 1361 01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,920 Speaker 2: we're finding out that the hazing scandal continues to grow. 1362 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,599 Speaker 2: Multiple parties have stated their intent to sue the school. 1363 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,800 Speaker 2: It is now being characterized as of last night by 1364 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,799 Speaker 2: groups out of Chicago that the Northwestern University hazing scandal 1365 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,000 Speaker 2: will be the biggest in the history of college sports 1366 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 2: in terms of the sheer number of athletes involved. Now, 1367 01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:37,759 Speaker 2: it's my understanding About a dozen x Northwestern football players 1368 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,080 Speaker 2: have retained civil rights attorney in the hazing case, and 1369 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 2: so far there have been at least three lawsuits that 1370 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 2: I know of, And they're talking about a situation. Now 1371 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:54,120 Speaker 2: I didn't know this, and this is alleged because I 1372 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,440 Speaker 2: don't have any evidence of my own. I'm merely repeating 1373 01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 2: what's been reported that there's horrible hazing incidences in women's 1374 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 2: sports that may even be worse than what the football 1375 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 2: program talked about that was run by Pat Fitzgerald. It 1376 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 2: includes an alleged quote rape of one woman athlete by 1377 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:18,679 Speaker 2: another that went reported, ultimately was not acted upon, followed 1378 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 2: by retaliation, unbelievable stories, and it's led to I guess, 1379 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,160 Speaker 2: severe depression and mental issues amongst some of the athletes. 1380 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 2: Now we are also finding out that back to football, 1381 01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 2: and again, Pat Fitzgerald is indigenous to Northwestern football in 1382 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 2: a way that no other coach could be because he 1383 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 2: played there. He was a stud on some very good 1384 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 2: Northwestern teams in the mid nineties, then even got to 1385 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,519 Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl. You'd say, well, Samon at Alabama, sure, 1386 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 2: but Samon didn't play at Alabama. Daddle swiney, he didn't 1387 01:15:54,960 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 2: play at George at Clemson, New Holtz never played a 1388 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:06,640 Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Pat Fitzgerald played at Northwestern. It was a 1389 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,559 Speaker 2: coach for seventeen years. We're finding out now though, that 1390 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 2: allegedly these incidents span the last thirty years of football 1391 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,880 Speaker 2: culture Northwestern. So the hazing culture that they're talking about 1392 01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:23,080 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three started back when Fitzgerald was a 1393 01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:27,559 Speaker 2: player in the nineties, and apparently multiple former players have 1394 01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:32,120 Speaker 2: come forth said that he didn't participate. But nonetheless, the 1395 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,720 Speaker 2: reversion of hazing that were taking place back in the 1396 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 2: nineties that you heard about recently at the offseason training 1397 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,400 Speaker 2: camp that the Northwestern has every year in Kenosha, Wisconsin, 1398 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:49,200 Speaker 2: and they give examples and they're graphically weird to me. 1399 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 2: They called one hazing incident alooful line, in which you'd 1400 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 2: have naked offensive linemen blocked the way to the showers. 1401 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,000 Speaker 2: And you heard about the running game we talked last week. 1402 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 2: You've got veteran players hazing freshmen dry humping them, indicating 1403 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:08,599 Speaker 2: that this tradition started fifteen years ago. And you're hearing 1404 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 2: now that players from the nineties have really continually expressed 1405 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,719 Speaker 2: remorse as to how the culture evolved after they left. 1406 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,960 Speaker 2: I think we're going to have to stay tuned. This 1407 01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,599 Speaker 2: is a saga that's far from over. You've got civil 1408 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,640 Speaker 2: rights attorneys, and what's going on at Northwestern far ex 1409 01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:29,440 Speaker 2: seems that of any academic institution that I think anybody's 1410 01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:33,360 Speaker 2: ever seen or been involved with. Now I realize, you know, 1411 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,320 Speaker 2: what happened with Jerry Sandusky at Penn State will give 1412 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,120 Speaker 2: you a run for your money. You've had incidents in Michigan, 1413 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:46,960 Speaker 2: Michigan State USC, but you've got a systemic situation allegedly 1414 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:51,720 Speaker 2: here going back three decades. Now. I believe there are 1415 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:56,799 Speaker 2: also class action lawsuits that are being filed because allegedly 1416 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 2: there's been harm done to great along the lines of 1417 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:04,120 Speaker 2: great classes of people, right, and the attorneys have said, 1418 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,560 Speaker 2: we're not just here to put on a show and 1419 01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,920 Speaker 2: get a quick settlement. We're here to initiate change. It's 1420 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 2: gonna require we all pull our skeletons out of the closet. 1421 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,599 Speaker 2: That's what these survivors deserve, that's what faculty and alumni deserve, 1422 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:20,439 Speaker 2: it's what the public deserves. So you're even getting donors 1423 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,599 Speaker 2: involved now making statements and so it's a sad time 1424 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,559 Speaker 2: at Northwestern and they've got to go out and try 1425 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 2: to play football this year. And they were one and 1426 01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,920 Speaker 2: eleven last year. So what has been a proud program 1427 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,640 Speaker 2: and an outstanding institution is facing some dark times. And 1428 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 2: as there are updates, we will report them. Otherwise we'll 1429 01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 2: just have to wait and watch and see what happens. 1430 01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 2: Coming up, we talk Greg sank Sec and Nil give 1431 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,120 Speaker 2: it a lock.

You know it's been two years 1444 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:30,760 Speaker 2: since the NCAA established policies allowing athletes to profit off 1445 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,920 Speaker 2: their name, image, and likeness. We all thought it was 1446 01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,799 Speaker 2: supposed to be, hey, you want a few bucks, great, 1447 01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:42,880 Speaker 2: you can sign autographs, kiss babies, and at the car dealership, 1448 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 2: make yourself an extra five hundred bucks, thousand bucks here 1449 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,519 Speaker 2: and there, whatever. But the NCAA had argued for years 1450 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 2: that allowing athletes the same rights as every other student 1451 01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:56,600 Speaker 2: would ruin collegiate sports. That's their words, not mine. The 1452 01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 2: critics feared what they fear that would ultimately usher in 1453 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 2: a pay to player, and it has. It absolutely has. 1454 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 2: You're a free agent. I mean, look, Quinn yours wasn't 1455 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,360 Speaker 2: even out of high school, went to Ohio State, was 1456 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 2: promised a million dollars. The whole thing fell a party 1457 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:21,639 Speaker 2: in Texas. Now, so you're offering these young men and 1458 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 2: women money before they've ever set foot on campus. They 1459 01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,599 Speaker 2: have ever, you know, gotten into a situation where they've 1460 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,800 Speaker 2: been on the team, been on a roster, been on 1461 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,640 Speaker 2: the field, and they've already profited. So officials from the 1462 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference their meeting with I guess they did meet 1463 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,480 Speaker 2: with lawmakers in Washington, and they're looking for federal regulations. 1464 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:46,639 Speaker 2: Greg sankei, the SEC commissioner, said, the league heard again 1465 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:51,719 Speaker 2: in late June from athletes, athletes asking for uniform NIL rules. 1466 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 2: All right, so, just this past week in Nashville, Greg 1467 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 2: Sankie made it clearly. Greg Sankee, if you've never heard 1468 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 2: of him, he's a very high profile, prominent conference commissioner, 1469 01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:08,559 Speaker 2: he's the commissioner of the SEC. He really came to 1470 01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 2: prominence during COVID. He made it clear that only Congress 1471 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 2: can truly set a national standard for name image and 1472 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:21,960 Speaker 2: likeness and the compensation for college athletics. Thank you. Went 1473 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,879 Speaker 2: on to say that the NIL is not a partisan 1474 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,960 Speaker 2: issue and that state legislatures haven't even yet enforced their 1475 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,559 Speaker 2: NIL laws because it's been relegated to states. Every state 1476 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,320 Speaker 2: can do whatever they want, right, and some of those 1477 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 2: would bar NCAA conferences from adopting and enforcing their own. 1478 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,360 Speaker 2: Now I'll quote Sankie here. He said, quote, Congressional action 1479 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,880 Speaker 2: is the only way to provide a national uniform standard 1480 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 2: for name image and likeness and to draw the lines 1481 01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 2: around the boundaries that did not become simply pay for play. 1482 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 2: He's echoing the same stance that the NCAA said and 1483 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,680 Speaker 2: this has become a very divisive issue before it was 1484 01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 2: agreed upon two years ago. Now, in practice, the NIL 1485 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 2: is really a very nice, potentially powerful, potentially lucrative vehicle 1486 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 2: that rightfully allows student athletes the ability to earn compensation 1487 01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 2: from whatever their own unique market value is. But at 1488 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,400 Speaker 2: the same time, because there's been such a lack of transparency, 1489 01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:27,839 Speaker 2: you've got a wild west marketplace that puts student athletes 1490 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 2: frankly in jeopardy being exploited by people who may be unsavory. Right, 1491 01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,840 Speaker 2: and so here we are now, and Brian Kelly, he 1492 01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 2: waded into the LSU coach he says if he was 1493 01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 2: asked if a uniform NIL standard would help LSU, Kelly said, 1494 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,439 Speaker 2: the challenge is there's not much regulation now, so that 1495 01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,960 Speaker 2: leaves the coaches trying to control what they can, which 1496 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:55,120 Speaker 2: is difficult because NIL involves a lot of groups separate 1497 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:59,240 Speaker 2: from the universities, oftentimes in different states. Plus you had 1498 01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 2: the fact that different laws in each state leaves the 1499 01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,439 Speaker 2: SEC on balance because you have schools in different states. 1500 01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,160 Speaker 2: Kelly then went on to say kind of politically correct. 1501 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 2: I'm not here to fix it, I'm here to navigate 1502 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 2: it if I can lend my experience in any shape 1503 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 2: or fashion, I'll do that. But I can tell you 1504 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,679 Speaker 2: we're living and that's the third party involvement in different 1505 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 2: rules of engagement by different states. He's true, Commissioner sank 1506 01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:25,760 Speaker 2: He said, the league hurt again in June from athletes 1507 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:30,960 Speaker 2: asking for uniform anile rules. They want help trying to 1508 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 2: decide which university to attend, and even the competition on 1509 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 2: the playing field in the SEC. Remember, these are young 1510 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,760 Speaker 2: people seventeen years old, eighteen years old, men of them 1511 01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,400 Speaker 2: still live at home, have not been out in the 1512 01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 2: world to navigate anything at all. They're blessed with a 1513 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 2: god given talent and all of a sudden they have 1514 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 2: a chance to go to the highest bidder and get 1515 01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,040 Speaker 2: life changing money. But we are running into the law 1516 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:57,559 Speaker 2: unattended consequences. Pretty clear quote, uniformity will ensure a high 1517 01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 2: school student his or her family do not have to 1518 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:04,480 Speaker 2: investigate potentially dozens of different state laws or university policies 1519 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 2: to figure out how they can be active in this name, 1520 01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,240 Speaker 2: image and likeness world. That's what Sankie went on to say. 1521 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,879 Speaker 2: Now the SEC has fourteen schools they're used to providing 1522 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,760 Speaker 2: support to athletes, but students want protection now, they want 1523 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:24,439 Speaker 2: more protection themselves. And by the way, it's even involved 1524 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:29,000 Speaker 2: international students in other sports and they're able to access NIL. 1525 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 2: But there's a lack of consistency. It's a patchwork system 1526 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:38,120 Speaker 2: because of state laws, and Sankie says, our students deserve 1527 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 2: better than something, from something more than a race to 1528 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,680 Speaker 2: the bottom. Right. Another thing, by the way, on a 1529 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 2: side note, Gambling talked about gaming regulations. He said too 1530 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:53,160 Speaker 2: often that SEC athletes and officials they have to deal 1531 01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 2: with threats from Better Sangrey over plays and calls and 1532 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:57,800 Speaker 2: game results. I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. 1533 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,719 Speaker 2: Every state would legalize sports betting. Sankie wants to ensure 1534 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 2: some enforcement of gaming regulations so that the laws on 1535 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 2: the books prepent. You know, people who are participating from 1536 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:12,719 Speaker 2: hostile behavior, particularly individuals who engage in that behavior going 1537 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 2: after people because they've lost a bet and didn't like 1538 01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,400 Speaker 2: the outcome. And you have access now, you know, through 1539 01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:21,960 Speaker 2: social media, to have a direct b line to that 1540 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,519 Speaker 2: individual person. But back to the NIL thing, all right, 1541 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 2: the federal level, you are starting to see conversation Joe Manchin, 1542 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:36,719 Speaker 2: the Democratic Senator from West Virginia and Tommy Tubberville, former 1543 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,880 Speaker 2: Auburn coach. He's a Republican senator and he did make 1544 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 2: his career in college football. Remember he is I said 1545 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 2: he was the head coach at Auburn. They have both 1546 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 2: signaled I think cooperation and genuine interest in crafting a 1547 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:55,120 Speaker 2: bipartisan bill to regulate NIL. All right, However, nothing is 1548 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,920 Speaker 2: materialized in anything that has been presented to the Senate. Okay, 1549 01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:03,800 Speaker 2: there's there's been lawmakers who have introduced legislation, one thing 1550 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 2: called the Student Athlete Level Playing Field, out Playing Field Act, 1551 01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 2: Fairness Accountability, Integrity and Representation, the Taxpayer Integrity Act, and 1552 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 2: Athlete Opportunity. They're just proposals, and experts are skeptical that 1553 01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:24,200 Speaker 2: the federal action NIL is going to be heard anytime soon. 1554 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 2: The devil's in the details. I don't think you can 1555 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,400 Speaker 2: get people to agree on anything, and I don't think 1556 01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,280 Speaker 2: anybody who's in the know is optimistic that any kind 1557 01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,960 Speaker 2: of federal bill having to do it NIL is going 1558 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 2: to be passed this year. And why it just doesn't 1559 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,240 Speaker 2: seem to be enough priority for lawmakers when they've got 1560 01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 2: other national issues on their dockets. So when you're talking 1561 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 2: about the SEC very proud conference. Okay, you've got schools 1562 01:26:53,120 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 2: in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi. Get it. 1563 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 2: You've got and I would say an NIL cluster on 1564 01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:09,639 Speaker 2: your hands. I talked about this last year at length 1565 01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 2: when Texas A and M put together a program called Amplify. 1566 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 2: And this is kind of part B the question is 1567 01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 2: nil even really working? Because when you consider the fact 1568 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 2: that Texas A and M did some incredible things last year. 1569 01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 2: They raised twenty five million dollars to create what they 1570 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 2: were calling their program called Amplify. Right, Amplify was a 1571 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 2: program created, I think with very good intentions, and it targeted. 1572 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:49,640 Speaker 2: It was a coordinated effort among their donors, among you know, 1573 01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:54,600 Speaker 2: alumni to bring him the number one recruiting class in 1574 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,040 Speaker 2: the history of college football last year Texas A and M. 1575 01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 2: I'm talking about twenty twenty two. He had six five 1576 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,720 Speaker 2: star wars cruits, eleven four star recruits, three three star recruits, 1577 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 2: the number one linebacker in the country, the number one 1578 01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,800 Speaker 2: defensive alignment in the country, the number two wide receiver. They, 1579 01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 2: in effect, their boosters engaged in a coordinated effort, a 1580 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:15,720 Speaker 2: very expensive, coordinated NIL effort, spent thirty million dollars and 1581 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,479 Speaker 2: targeted these young men and they were able to bring 1582 01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 2: them in and get them on campus. And there were 1583 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,720 Speaker 2: some very good things about this. They had specific programs 1584 01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 2: and topics like how to build your digital brand, how 1585 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,919 Speaker 2: to create financial workshops, how to engage in effective networking, 1586 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 2: how to evaluate job opportunities, negotiate offers. They put the 1587 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 2: kids through mock job interviews. They helped them to understand 1588 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,719 Speaker 2: the AGGI Network and the Letterman's Association. Plus they shared 1589 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 2: with them best practices on social media, you know, analysis 1590 01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,240 Speaker 2: and audits, and they wanted to help these young folks 1591 01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 2: create a custom content for their own brand. So did 1592 01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:01,040 Speaker 2: it work? No, Texas say, and had a disastrous year 1593 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:05,479 Speaker 2: last year. You can't buy love, turns out, by the way, 1594 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 2: you already know that with the New York Yankees, You 1595 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 2: know that, with the San Diego Padres, you know you 1596 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,960 Speaker 2: know that with what other team of I forgetting here 1597 01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,639 Speaker 2: that's really spit the bit in Major League Baseball, that's 1598 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:22,000 Speaker 2: stinking it up the Mets, all right, you can't buy love. 1599 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 2: But that's what NIL has basically morphed themselves into a 1600 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 2: pay for play situation. All right, college athletics is really 1601 01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:40,040 Speaker 2: starting to become wrongly classified, and all of a sudden, 1602 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 2: these players are looked at as employees, and then I 1603 01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:46,400 Speaker 2: guess the next step is they'll probably want to unionize, 1604 01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,600 Speaker 2: which I do not ever see happening. And that's a 1605 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:54,760 Speaker 2: long conversation for another day. But staying on point, the 1606 01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:58,840 Speaker 2: NIL situation, while there may have been the best intentions, 1607 01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,520 Speaker 2: has morphed into a wild West get out of the way, 1608 01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:05,439 Speaker 2: you know, a survival of the fittest, who's got the 1609 01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,800 Speaker 2: deepest pockets in a quest to, for lack of a 1610 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 2: better characterization, buy a national championship. It's not only not working, 1611 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:18,040 Speaker 2: it's confusing the issue and it's created a lot of consternation. 1612 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,320 Speaker 2: That is why Greg Sanki is reaching out to Congress. 1613 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:25,000 Speaker 2: Will they respond, don't bet on it. In the minute, 1614 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,599 Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring in the crew. I want to get Nick. 1615 01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:28,439 Speaker 2: I want to get Nick's thoughts. I want to get 1616 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,720 Speaker 2: Patrick's thoughts on the whole concept of NIL. We've got 1617 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 2: two years under our belt, now we know what this 1618 01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:36,920 Speaker 2: looks like. The predictions of the wild West fire out 1619 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:40,599 Speaker 2: of control came to fruition. I was wrong. I thought 1620 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,360 Speaker 2: it'd be more measured. I thought it'd be more control. No, 1621 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:47,120 Speaker 2: it wasn't. And I'll be honest with you, I don't 1622 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,800 Speaker 2: think Congress can fix it anyway. I think this is 1623 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 2: gonna ultimately find its own high water mark. Because if 1624 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:56,920 Speaker 2: you're a booster, or you're an investor, or you're a shark, 1625 01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,400 Speaker 2: and you're able to get these kids to come to 1626 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,720 Speaker 2: your school, but you're not producing results, then the words 1627 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,559 Speaker 2: your return on investment, and guess what, you only find 1628 01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,600 Speaker 2: that out in a free capitalist system, which is what 1629 01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 2: we have versus whether or not they regulated, and that 1630 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:13,920 Speaker 2: House Congress is going to regulate it, and who's going 1631 01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,720 Speaker 2: to have the time to enforce it. We're talking about 1632 01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:20,080 Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty institutions to play college basketball and 1633 01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,440 Speaker 2: what one hundred and fifty that play Division one football thereabouts. 1634 01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:27,200 Speaker 2: Who's going to enforce it?

What kind of brand new fool you? 1664 01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:55,040 Speaker 2: Followed by what my name? All? Right? Nil? Is it 1665 01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:58,880 Speaker 2: working or not? The good news is it's created financial 1666 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,200 Speaker 2: opportunities for a lot the kids. By the way, somebody 1667 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,519 Speaker 2: just took an exception, and I respect people's opinion that 1668 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:06,920 Speaker 2: I call college kids, so I'm gonna I'm gonna bring 1669 01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:09,240 Speaker 2: this up to you in a second, Nick. But it's 1670 01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:13,479 Speaker 2: great opportunities for student athletes and not just in the 1671 01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:18,200 Speaker 2: high revenue sports to earn real money. But the downside 1672 01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:23,240 Speaker 2: is it's confusing because there are different state laws and 1673 01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:27,320 Speaker 2: the the message is kind of obscured, and now they're 1674 01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:29,200 Speaker 2: begging for Congress to intervenw I don't think it's a 1675 01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:31,280 Speaker 2: good thing. Nick. I'm gonna take a quick left turn 1676 01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:33,240 Speaker 2: because the gentleman tweeted in why am I calling them 1677 01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:37,400 Speaker 2: college kids? I've never heard them called college adults. This 1678 01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,120 Speaker 2: guy might not be wrong, but it's been my experience 1679 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:42,679 Speaker 2: and I guess you know, I was a college athlete. 1680 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 2: Maybe I didn't like being called a kid, but I 1681 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,439 Speaker 2: wasn't paying bills and then really been in the real world. 1682 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,880 Speaker 2: Is that an improper moniker college kids? 1683 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:51,120 Speaker 7: Nick? 1684 01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,839 Speaker 6: I don't think so. I would have referred to myself 1685 01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 6: still as a kid when I was in college, and 1686 01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:01,040 Speaker 6: I would still use that term myself. So I don't 1687 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:02,479 Speaker 6: see an issue with college kid. 1688 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,719 Speaker 2: Right. It's a colloquialism, but there are no right or wrong, 1689 01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,599 Speaker 2: all right, So, Nick, we're two years in. What just 1690 01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 2: give me your general impression of NIL as you see 1691 01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:15,599 Speaker 2: it versus what it was intended to be. 1692 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:19,760 Speaker 6: Well, boy, there's so many avenues to take here. I 1693 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 6: think one thing that really has become an issue is 1694 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 6: the recruiting aspect, both for players coming out of high school. 1695 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,759 Speaker 6: But you have the transfer portal is also a big 1696 01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,760 Speaker 6: factor going along with this, because you've got that free 1697 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,559 Speaker 6: one time transfer. So you've got guys who show out 1698 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,720 Speaker 6: at one level and then you know they're able to 1699 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:47,160 Speaker 6: get some deals and maybe go, you know, and play 1700 01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:49,320 Speaker 6: at a higher level. For an example, I don't know 1701 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,840 Speaker 6: if you saw this, Bernie, but at PAC twelve Media Day, 1702 01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:56,240 Speaker 6: Caleb Williams was talking the USC quarterback and he's got 1703 01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 6: a new wide out target this year. Dorian Singer is 1704 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,400 Speaker 6: his name. He was at air Zona last year and 1705 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,519 Speaker 6: Williams on a you know on the record, is talking 1706 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,320 Speaker 6: about he's sitting on the sideline and he's seen Dorian 1707 01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,320 Speaker 6: Singer tear it up for Arizona and he comments to 1708 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,599 Speaker 6: a staff member, when are we getting this guy? So, 1709 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:20,519 Speaker 6: I mean, there's he's saying the quiet part out loud, 1710 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,599 Speaker 6: and so that's obviously one of the rules. You know, 1711 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:28,320 Speaker 6: nil cannot be used as enticement for recruitment, but there's 1712 01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:32,320 Speaker 6: no way to police this and regulate it, so that 1713 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 6: that's the part that's going on. And then you have 1714 01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:38,439 Speaker 6: all these collectives tied to schools, and so that's how 1715 01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:42,040 Speaker 6: you're able to bring everything above board. I think things 1716 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,559 Speaker 6: largely are operating how they always were, at least at 1717 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:51,679 Speaker 6: you know, particular places that always trying to entice certain 1718 01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 6: recruits and give them certain things to try and make 1719 01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,720 Speaker 6: their stay at that school more enjoyable. But now it 1720 01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:00,280 Speaker 6: allows all that to come above board because you can 1721 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:04,439 Speaker 6: all funnel it through these quote unquote nonprofit collectives that 1722 01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:08,639 Speaker 6: are pretty much they're not they have relationships with the school. 1723 01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:10,760 Speaker 6: They're not run by the school. Their third parties they're 1724 01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 6: oftentimes boosters, so you can raise money from other boosters, 1725 01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,360 Speaker 6: you know, take donations from fans, and then funnel that 1726 01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:23,000 Speaker 6: money under nil to players. And so I'm all for 1727 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:26,880 Speaker 6: players getting paid. The tough part is the regulation, and 1728 01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,240 Speaker 6: I just I just don't know how you do that 1729 01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 6: and prevent you know, Arizona, for example, Jedfish there, he's 1730 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 6: trying to build a program and finds this stud wide 1731 01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,639 Speaker 6: receiver and bam, he has a great year. He's gone 1732 01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:41,960 Speaker 6: to USC You know, stuff like that I think is 1733 01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:45,439 Speaker 6: maybe none to tend and consequence. One positive I'll leave 1734 01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 6: you with, though, is that you're gonna see guys stay 1735 01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 6: in school, though at the same time it happened not 1736 01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 6: all guys. Zach Eaty is a great example the produce 1737 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,720 Speaker 6: center and obviously, you know his market as a pro 1738 01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:00,599 Speaker 6: player is not as big as it would have been 1739 01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 6: twenty years ago, as you know, a seven foot or 1740 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,280 Speaker 6: plus type guy. But I mean he's going to be 1741 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,240 Speaker 6: able to make some money in and Nick to. 1742 01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:12,120 Speaker 2: Your point, Oscar sheibwe did the same thing in Kentucky. Yep, 1743 01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:13,920 Speaker 2: that was a joke. And I can't wake forth do 1744 01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 2: the same thing. Based on what you said, I want 1745 01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,919 Speaker 2: to invoke Lane Kiffin's comments because it's part and parcel 1746 01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,960 Speaker 2: to your narrative. I now, I guess I give have 1747 01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,080 Speaker 2: to give Kiffin a little bit of credit because he 1748 01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,719 Speaker 2: basically said with a transfer portal, which you just invoked, 1749 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 2: the two are sort of joined. It to hip, Kiffin said, 1750 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,519 Speaker 2: quote free agency now exists, except unlike professional sports, every 1751 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:41,200 Speaker 2: college player can enter into free agency twice a year 1752 01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,439 Speaker 2: with a spring and winter transfer windows. He goes, we 1753 01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:48,120 Speaker 2: basically got professional sports, except there's no salary cap, there's 1754 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:51,480 Speaker 2: no luxury tax, and it's created all kinds of issues 1755 01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:56,400 Speaker 2: for coaches. So you're not wrong. I think the intentions 1756 01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,280 Speaker 2: were good, but it's morphed into a pay for play 1757 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,840 Speaker 2: free and that's where the state of the Union is 1758 01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:05,760 Speaker 2: on NIL. And I, by the way, Nick, just a 1759 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:08,559 Speaker 2: quick question, yeah, yes or no? Do you want Congress 1760 01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 2: to intervene? Because I do not. I don't think that's 1761 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:10,839 Speaker 2: a solution. 1762 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:16,519 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't see it going I yeah, I think 1763 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 6: that there could be. Like NIL has had unintended consequences, 1764 01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,559 Speaker 6: I think Congress and their infinite wisdom might might create 1765 01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:29,440 Speaker 6: some unintended consequences with whatever they come up. But perhaps 1766 01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,200 Speaker 6: there's a way they can work with the NCAA to 1767 01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:36,559 Speaker 6: try and form some sort of legislature that can you know, 1768 01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:41,600 Speaker 6: get support across you know, football coaches, basketball coaches and 1769 01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:45,840 Speaker 6: the like. But I don't have too much optimism in 1770 01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:46,719 Speaker 6: regards to that. 1771 01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:50,680 Speaker 2: Patrick Sweeka, n I L take it where you want. 1772 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:54,360 Speaker 7: Well, you know, Bernie, I gotta agree with what Nick 1773 01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,559 Speaker 7: was saying. Like I personally, I love the fact that 1774 01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:00,839 Speaker 7: all these players are you know, they're getting paid, their likeness, 1775 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:04,000 Speaker 7: their you know, image, all that good stuff. Like I 1776 01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,599 Speaker 7: think I'm always been an advocate for get for that, 1777 01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:08,719 Speaker 7: and also to kind of jump in like I also 1778 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:10,599 Speaker 7: refer to myself as a college kid when I went 1779 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 7: to college, just to kind of jump back there. So 1780 01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:14,639 Speaker 7: we are definitely not in the wrong on that one. 1781 01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:17,120 Speaker 7: I still refer to myself as a kid. I'm twenty 1782 01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,200 Speaker 7: eight years old, I still think the same thing, and 1783 01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:23,400 Speaker 7: I'm past college. But uh, anyways, with that said, I 1784 01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:27,320 Speaker 7: do agree with the whole consequences of just it is 1785 01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:30,120 Speaker 7: kind of become almost like a free agency in a way, 1786 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,160 Speaker 7: Like just because you know, all these high higher profile 1787 01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 7: schools are now getting the you know, the bigger ticket 1788 01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,960 Speaker 7: guys now. And that's kind of like, you know, all 1789 01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:40,840 Speaker 7: these you know players that were let's just say they 1790 01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,720 Speaker 7: were at a maybe not quite as high school but 1791 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 7: like pretty good or like, you know, just making a 1792 01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:47,960 Speaker 7: name for themselves and oh, there we go. I'm gonna 1793 01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:51,560 Speaker 7: go to USC, I'm gonna go to Notre Dame, Clemson, Alabama. 1794 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:53,920 Speaker 7: It's you know what I mean, Like, yeah, they're getting 1795 01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:56,320 Speaker 7: paid to play, but all these boosters are gonna offer 1796 01:39:56,400 --> 01:40:00,280 Speaker 7: more money. It's almost kind of like everybody's kind of 1797 01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:01,320 Speaker 7: almost building. 1798 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:03,559 Speaker 6: Like a super team in a sort. 1799 01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:06,360 Speaker 2: Of trying Yeah about you heard my Texas A and 1800 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:10,479 Speaker 2: M example, Patrick and I. The best laid plans you 1801 01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:13,720 Speaker 2: can't buy love man. Listen, these teams still have to 1802 01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:19,120 Speaker 2: be built organically and so a good stuff. I appreciated 1803 01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:24,080 Speaker 2: close by saying that yes, Lane Kifferin prefaced his comments 1804 01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:27,840 Speaker 2: by saying he's happy that players can get paid, but 1805 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,000 Speaker 2: he also went on to say the unintended consequence of nil, 1806 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:34,800 Speaker 2: he's essentially a pay for play system where players follow 1807 01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:38,439 Speaker 2: the money and the teams with the deepest pockets get 1808 01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:43,320 Speaker 2: the best talent. The question is it working? Is it working. 1809 01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:47,880 Speaker 2: Are boosters and investors, as it were, getting the bang 1810 01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:51,160 Speaker 2: for the buck they want? Is it working? And is 1811 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:56,760 Speaker 2: it a correlation between winning championships and accomplishing what the 1812 01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:01,120 Speaker 2: nil boosters want in terms of trying to raw the 1813 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,880 Speaker 2: best talent and stockpiled the best talent based on having 1814 01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:09,960 Speaker 2: the most amount of money. Coming up, baseball renaissance continues 1815 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 2: in a big way and out of nowhere. I used 1816 01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,640 Speaker 2: to have a sing out of acorns grow oaks. A 1817 01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:20,080 Speaker 2: classic twist on the home run derby could be upon us, 1818 01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,160 Speaker 2: and I will tell you I'm all there for it. 1819 01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,639 Speaker 2: I'll share what that is coming up, But first let's 1820 01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,719 Speaker 2: go back to a guy Nick Cope with the latest. 1821 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,240 Speaker 6: I do just just real quick to go back to 1822 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 6: what you were saying there at the very end. You know, 1823 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 6: is it working for these teams, for these schools and 1824 01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:43,040 Speaker 6: their boosters that invested all this money? You know, college football, 1825 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:46,400 Speaker 6: college basketball, I don't know yet, but uls you and 1826 01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,519 Speaker 6: college baseball, I will just say I think it is 1827 01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:50,280 Speaker 6: working there. 1828 01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:56,360 Speaker 2: If we transferred, he transferred in from Air Force, So 1829 01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:58,000 Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. I don't have it, but 1830 01:41:58,120 --> 01:42:01,400 Speaker 2: I know their center fielder Dylan Cruise was a four 1831 01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:03,400 Speaker 2: year starter. He got there before Nile started. 1832 01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,240 Speaker 6: They they have brought in a litany of transfers. 1833 01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough. 1834 01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:13,599 Speaker 6: I just one example where college baseball obviously doesn't register 1835 01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,719 Speaker 6: on a national scale, but in the SEC it is very, 1836 01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:17,920 Speaker 6: very large. 1837 01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,160 Speaker 2: And it's registering on a national scale now. It is buddy, 1838 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 2: my buddy, Larry Sorenson, ten year major leaguer, just play 1839 01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:27,080 Speaker 2: by play for wake Forest baseball. We were talking during 1840 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:31,400 Speaker 2: the game for Huge, Huge, and you know they had 1841 01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:34,400 Speaker 2: three guys drafted in the top twenty two as well, 1842 01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:38,559 Speaker 2: you know, Wilkin and the two pitchers, so they all 1843 01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:42,639 Speaker 2: got paid as well. I think your point, and this 1844 01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:46,640 Speaker 2: is somewhat buried in the framework of this whole concept. 1845 01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:50,000 Speaker 2: It's not just football, it's not just basketball. It's the 1846 01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:53,040 Speaker 2: less revenue generating sports too that have been very involved 1847 01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:54,240 Speaker 2: in this point taken. 1848 01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:57,720 Speaker 6: Let's go to the Women's World Cup here, second half 1849 01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:00,599 Speaker 6: about to start between the Netherlands and Portugal. The Dutch 1850 01:43:00,680 --> 01:43:02,840 Speaker 6: lead once to nothing, got a goal off a corner 1851 01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 6: kick back in the thirteenth minute. Again, these two teams 1852 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,439 Speaker 6: are in Group A or excuse me, Group E. That's 1853 01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:11,439 Speaker 6: the same as the United States. The US is set 1854 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,439 Speaker 6: to take on the Netherlands on Wednesday, and then their 1855 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,640 Speaker 6: final match in the group stage will be against Portugal. 1856 01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:20,280 Speaker 6: So he got one more match coming up. In these 1857 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:23,240 Speaker 6: early morning hours six am Eastern on Fox, you'll have 1858 01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 6: France against Jamaica. Final round of the Open Championship underway. 1859 01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:32,000 Speaker 6: American Brian Harmon leads by five shots. He's at twelve 1860 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,240 Speaker 6: under for the tournament. Leaders aren't gonna tee off until 1861 01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,680 Speaker 6: you get past about eight thirty am Eastern time. Here 1862 01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:41,280 Speaker 6: in the States, Harmon will be teeing off at nine 1863 01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:44,840 Speaker 6: to fifteen am Eastern. And the NFL Chiefs defensive tackle 1864 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 6: Chris Jones did not report for the start of training camp. 1865 01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:50,439 Speaker 6: He's entering the final year of his contract and wants 1866 01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:53,640 Speaker 6: a new one. ESPN, however, says the two sides are 1867 01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:58,439 Speaker 6: far apart in their negotiations. Baseball Dodgers crushed the Rangers 1868 01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:02,000 Speaker 6: sixteen to three. Put shortstop Corey Seeger on the ten 1869 01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:05,400 Speaker 6: day IL with the sprained thumb. Brewers rallied for a 1870 01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 6: four to three win against the Braves. They're a game 1871 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,439 Speaker 6: and a half up now on the Reds in the 1872 01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:14,480 Speaker 6: NL Central Reds by the way. They hit three consecutive 1873 01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,240 Speaker 6: solo home runs for a to help them to a 1874 01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,160 Speaker 6: four to two win over the Diamondbacks. Twins just got 1875 01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,439 Speaker 6: by the White Sox three to two. Red Sox and 1876 01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,960 Speaker 6: Mets split a doubleheader. Orioles blew a five run lead, 1877 01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:28,160 Speaker 6: but they did score a run of the ninth to 1878 01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,439 Speaker 6: beat the Blue Jays six to five. A's over the 1879 01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:33,360 Speaker 6: Astros four to one, Pirates shut out the Angels three 1880 01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:35,120 Speaker 6: to nothing. Bernie back to you. 1881 01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 2: All right, thanks Nick? So the home run Derby full disclosure. 1882 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:44,760 Speaker 2: I was in Detroit. I was with ninety seven one 1883 01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:46,720 Speaker 2: CBS Radio at the time. Two thousand and five. The 1884 01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 2: All Star Game is played in Detroit. That year, Bobby 1885 01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:51,720 Speaker 2: of Bray you he forty four home runs, won the 1886 01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,519 Speaker 2: home run Derby, recked a swing w rectus back. I 1887 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:57,599 Speaker 2: think was not the same Ever the rest of his career. 1888 01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,000 Speaker 2: I have always thought the home run Derby's played out. Now. 1889 01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:04,800 Speaker 2: They changed the rules recently, and it's it's for the better, 1890 01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:07,920 Speaker 2: but still it just doesn't thrill me anymore. And then 1891 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,679 Speaker 2: this happened. You know, you don't see old timers games 1892 01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:13,680 Speaker 2: as much as he used to, or maybe you do. 1893 01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:15,080 Speaker 2: And I'm not aware of it, but I don't think 1894 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:21,800 Speaker 2: you do anymore. And what's interesting is that, you know again, 1895 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:24,599 Speaker 2: nostalgia's a trap. What do Allen said? It best? In baseball, 1896 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,800 Speaker 2: more than any other sport, has what I consider the 1897 01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:33,800 Speaker 2: numerical historical perspective among their players and the comparative analysis 1898 01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 2: from eras more than any other sport. So what happened 1899 01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:40,920 Speaker 2: the other day? You're in Seattle, Ken Griffy Jr. Is 1900 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,960 Speaker 2: there and he happens to bump into Albert Poolholes, who's 1901 01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:48,559 Speaker 2: doing some work for MLB Network, and pool Holes looks 1902 01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:51,040 Speaker 2: at him and says, hey, hey, griff we're going to 1903 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:53,320 Speaker 2: see you in the home run derby tonight. And griff 1904 01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 2: jokingly says, I'll do it if you do it. It's 1905 01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 2: like the old joke about the player who brought his 1906 01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:00,960 Speaker 2: son to the you know, when he was playing for 1907 01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,400 Speaker 2: the Mets and Casey Stegel said, hey, kid, you're pitching today. 1908 01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:05,840 Speaker 2: He's ten years old. Then people do that, right. All 1909 01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:08,559 Speaker 2: of a sudden, they looked at each other and said, 1910 01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:14,840 Speaker 2: wait a minute, why not? And Griffy started to tell 1911 01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:16,880 Speaker 2: a story about when he was the hitting coach for 1912 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:20,519 Speaker 2: Team USA during the World Baseball Classic and all the 1913 01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,639 Speaker 2: after a few days, and you know, baseball players jockey 1914 01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,000 Speaker 2: with the best of them. All the players were daring 1915 01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:29,040 Speaker 2: Griffy to prove he could still go deep. Griffy had enough. 1916 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,799 Speaker 2: He called his wife and said, bring my bet, bring lucial. 1917 01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:34,679 Speaker 2: Griffy got in the cage. You know what went from there, 1918 01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,080 Speaker 2: right the trash talk hit an all time high. Mookie 1919 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,000 Speaker 2: bet says you ain't got it no more. I bet 1920 01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,920 Speaker 2: you can't go deep. Inten swings and Griffy said, you 1921 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,080 Speaker 2: lose that bet. Griffy fifty three years old, gets into 1922 01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:50,759 Speaker 2: the cage. Guess what, you know what happened? What could 1923 01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:54,200 Speaker 2: happen here? All of a sudden, now, Ken Griffy Junior 1924 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,720 Speaker 2: said he'd do it. Albert Poolhole said he'd do it. 1925 01:46:58,160 --> 01:46:59,840 Speaker 2: Jim told me he got wind of this, said he'd 1926 01:46:59,880 --> 01:47:03,400 Speaker 2: do it. David Ortiz said he'd do it. Okay, wait 1927 01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:05,760 Speaker 2: a minute. It started with an innocent I could do 1928 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,639 Speaker 2: it from Ken Griffy. And here's the best part. These 1929 01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 2: guys don't want to happen, happen so they can simply 1930 01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:15,439 Speaker 2: swing a bat again like the rest of us. They 1931 01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:18,080 Speaker 2: want to happen so they can watch their favorite legends 1932 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:21,639 Speaker 2: like we do. And there's not a dot in my mind. 1933 01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:27,920 Speaker 2: This would be a wrinkle that baseball could absolutely capitalize from. 1934 01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:32,160 Speaker 2: Add you know, another dimension to All Star Weekend. I 1935 01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,439 Speaker 2: enjoy the Futures Game, but you gotta be real wonk 1936 01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,200 Speaker 2: to watch to enjoy the Futures Game. Even I don't. 1937 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:39,640 Speaker 2: I don't even watch the whole Futures game. I just 1938 01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:42,320 Speaker 2: watch certain players, a couple of the bats because you 1939 01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,280 Speaker 2: hear stories, right. But the truth of the matter is, 1940 01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:49,080 Speaker 2: if you were to say, put the old Timers' home 1941 01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:52,200 Speaker 2: run derby after the Futures Game, before the Futures Game, 1942 01:47:52,600 --> 01:47:56,080 Speaker 2: I'm made for TV event. You can't tell me it 1943 01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:59,360 Speaker 2: would not sell. And all of a sudden now you 1944 01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,400 Speaker 2: start to think about how creative it could be. They 1945 01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:06,120 Speaker 2: talk about a potential team format. The old Mark Scott 1946 01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:08,960 Speaker 2: baseball home run Derby that took place in the fifties 1947 01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:12,320 Speaker 2: at Wrigley Field in LA was a classic TV thing. 1948 01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,880 Speaker 2: You can google it and YouTube and find it. I 1949 01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:17,439 Speaker 2: remember talking to Al Kaylin about it when I was Detroit. 1950 01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:19,200 Speaker 2: He says, yeah, we used to love that. We'd fly 1951 01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:21,600 Speaker 2: out to LA for the weekend film the show and 1952 01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,760 Speaker 2: I'd make fifteen hundred bucks. It's funny now, but it 1953 01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:27,280 Speaker 2: wasn't funny then. There was a lot of money to 1954 01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,120 Speaker 2: those guys back then. Right, doing nothing in the offseason, 1955 01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,680 Speaker 2: And there are some other cool things you can do now. 1956 01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:34,880 Speaker 2: And we're not talking about a bunch of pikers here. 1957 01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:37,120 Speaker 2: Jim told me he hit six hundred and twelve home 1958 01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:40,240 Speaker 2: runs in his career. You know what Griffy did. You 1959 01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:43,559 Speaker 2: know what Poolholes did. Here's where it gets even more interesting, 1960 01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:46,959 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, if you start to put fielders out, 1961 01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:49,240 Speaker 2: what if you could bring in guys like Ryan Howard 1962 01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:53,840 Speaker 2: or Prince Field, or Jason Giambier, Janna Cespitis, maybe even 1963 01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:57,519 Speaker 2: huh Mark McGuire. Here's where it gets even better. You 1964 01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,799 Speaker 2: know where the All Star Game is next year, right, Texas? 1965 01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,800 Speaker 2: Maybe you bring back Adrian Beltray. Where's it gonna be 1966 01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:10,880 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, Oh Philadelphia, Ryan Howard, maybe he'd 1967 01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:14,040 Speaker 2: be the honorary home team member. And this one really 1968 01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:17,040 Speaker 2: caught my eye. The All Star Game heads to Wrigley 1969 01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:21,479 Speaker 2: Field in twenty twenty five? Could it? Would it? Is 1970 01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:25,600 Speaker 2: it possible you invite Sammy Sosa bring him out of 1971 01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:27,720 Speaker 2: the cobwebs to join it. You know where I'm going 1972 01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:33,320 Speaker 2: with this. A Legends home run derby. It's already being 1973 01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:36,040 Speaker 2: talked about. Now. They got some hoops to jump through, 1974 01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:37,880 Speaker 2: and they gotta find sponsors, and there's gonna be some 1975 01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:40,679 Speaker 2: legalities and all that kind of stuff. But I will 1976 01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:43,160 Speaker 2: tell you, if you get through the red tape and 1977 01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 2: enough of the right people want this to happen, I 1978 01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:50,040 Speaker 2: actually think it would not only not only be a 1979 01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:54,240 Speaker 2: good idea conceptually, I think it would really work today. 1980 01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:56,160 Speaker 2: What coming up, We're bringing the crew on that one too. 1981 01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,160 Speaker 2: Let's get Nick's thoughts. Let's get Patrick's thoughts on a 1982 01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:03,479 Speaker 2: Legends home run derby. I told you how it started. 1983 01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:06,799 Speaker 2: I told you where the conversation is now innoctantly between 1984 01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:10,080 Speaker 2: pooh Holes and Griffy. But out of acorns grow oaks. 1985 01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:13,080 Speaker 2: It could be a reality. Let's chop it up. Coming up, 1986 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,599 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie fraddlew coming to you live the Fox Sports 1987 01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:18,040 Speaker 2: Radio Tarract dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. 1988 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,519 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 1989 01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,759 Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, 1990 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:33,040 Speaker 2: come to you live from the tarrac dot Com Studios 1991 01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:36,439 Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, top of the hour dance sensation 1992 01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:38,720 Speaker 2: sweeping the nation? What kind of brand new fool you 1993 01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:45,400 Speaker 2: followed by what my name? So it all started when 1994 01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:51,360 Speaker 2: Ken Griffy Junior got his manhood challenged jovially at the 1995 01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:55,080 Speaker 2: All Star Game by Albert Poolholes. So far it appears 1996 01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:58,800 Speaker 2: Griffy pool Holes, David Ortiz, Jim Tomy, They're all on 1997 01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:03,680 Speaker 2: board Legends home run derby. Tell me you wouldn't want 1998 01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:07,600 Speaker 2: to see that? And one name conspicuously not mentioned that. 1999 01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:09,519 Speaker 2: I'm gonna mention now before I go to Nick and 2000 01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:15,639 Speaker 2: Pat Barry Bonds hold that thought, Nick, are you intrigued 2001 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,679 Speaker 2: by the possibility of a Legends home run Derby? 2002 01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:21,120 Speaker 6: Of course I am. I can't tell you the last 2003 01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:24,839 Speaker 6: time I actually watched one of the regular home run derbys. 2004 01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,519 Speaker 6: I find a play kind of like the slam Dunk 2005 01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:31,519 Speaker 6: contest for basketball. I find bolt just played out. They 2006 01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:33,280 Speaker 6: just don't do much to me, see us. I would 2007 01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:37,559 Speaker 6: love to see fifty year old former baseball stars see 2008 01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:39,040 Speaker 6: if they can hit one out? Why not? 2009 01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:43,559 Speaker 2: Oh? And they would? I mean we're talking to again, 2010 01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:45,920 Speaker 2: we're talking about guys with great careers. I haven't forgotten 2011 01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:48,040 Speaker 2: how to do this. You wouldn't be able to use 2012 01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,840 Speaker 2: the same format where you might have to swing eighty 2013 01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,680 Speaker 2: times in two minutes. That's not going to work for 2014 01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:55,600 Speaker 2: the old timers. But there's another format I'll share in 2015 01:51:55,640 --> 01:52:00,000 Speaker 2: a minute that's been bannied about. So let's chump this quickly. 2016 01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:03,080 Speaker 2: Do you envision Nick, that this can happen or is 2017 01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:04,040 Speaker 2: it just a pipe dream? 2018 01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:07,639 Speaker 6: I mean if guys are on board, and those types 2019 01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:10,800 Speaker 6: of big name guys are on board, that I feel 2020 01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:12,720 Speaker 6: like we're gonna get there. It's funny. I think I 2021 01:52:12,720 --> 01:52:16,360 Speaker 6: saw Griffy said, give me a year heads up and 2022 01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:19,160 Speaker 6: he's gonna prep. Jim Toby said, yeah, give me like 2023 01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 6: four to six months. He still takes some hacks. But 2024 01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,920 Speaker 6: if those big names are into it and they're egging 2025 01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:29,280 Speaker 6: each other on, I think we'll get there fair enough. 2026 01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:34,439 Speaker 2: Patrick Sweek your thoughts on a potential home run derby 2027 01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:35,639 Speaker 2: Legends home run Derby? 2028 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,160 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, absolutely, I would totally pay to see 2029 01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:42,400 Speaker 7: and watch that happen. I agree with the fact that 2030 01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:47,360 Speaker 7: we're obviously not gonna see eighty pitches because because like 2031 01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:50,080 Speaker 7: I said, they're a little on the old timer alert there, 2032 01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:51,720 Speaker 7: and I don't want to see one of them like 2033 01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:54,800 Speaker 7: throw their whole back out like after you know, a 2034 01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:58,200 Speaker 7: couple of home run swings. And my question to you, though, 2035 01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:01,400 Speaker 7: is will they take steroids? Is the question? 2036 01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,320 Speaker 2: Should they prep. 2037 01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:06,040 Speaker 6: With some steroids? I think it would be fun though. 2038 01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:06,640 Speaker 2: I'd recommend it. 2039 01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:10,000 Speaker 6: Actually I agree, Yeah. 2040 01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:13,160 Speaker 2: Steroids and Coron Royal and then get your pine tar ready, 2041 01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:17,160 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, hell, cork the bat. I don't use 2042 01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:20,000 Speaker 2: aluminum bats for all I know. But here's why I 2043 01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:26,519 Speaker 2: think this has real merit again. Nostalgia is a trap. 2044 01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:30,400 Speaker 2: That's how Woody Allen made fifty successful movies. And you've 2045 01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 2: got guys that this is how they identify themselves, right. 2046 01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,479 Speaker 2: And I mean even I played ball, played one year 2047 01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:39,840 Speaker 2: in the Reds organization. I remember I was coaching a 2048 01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:43,479 Speaker 2: travel team in Michigan back in two thousand. I was 2049 01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:45,599 Speaker 2: still north of forty. Hit a kid on the team, 2050 01:53:45,720 --> 01:53:47,599 Speaker 2: Jeff Davis. He wanted to challenge me to a home 2051 01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,600 Speaker 2: run derby. He was about to be a freshman in 2052 01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:52,800 Speaker 2: high school. I said, dude, come on. So we got 2053 01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:54,880 Speaker 2: on a regular railer field is actually it's actually a 2054 01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:57,240 Speaker 2: high school field. He didn't hit any out and actually 2055 01:53:57,280 --> 01:53:59,479 Speaker 2: hit three Okay, they're throwing any four steam or dobles, 2056 01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:01,479 Speaker 2: he's got gonna be able to do it. But the 2057 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:06,400 Speaker 2: novelty of it all, and when your mind starts to race, 2058 01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:11,479 Speaker 2: I will promise you that there are ways to structure this. Now, 2059 01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:14,680 Speaker 2: if anybody's listening to this, and you have any inclination, 2060 01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:18,920 Speaker 2: including you, Nick and Pat Google Mark Scott home run Derby, 2061 01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:23,519 Speaker 2: and you will see classic. It's clunky now and it's 2062 01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:26,439 Speaker 2: in black and white, and it's dorky. But you got 2063 01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:30,280 Speaker 2: handk Aaron and Willie Mays and I mentioned Kline and 2064 01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:33,040 Speaker 2: they'd go one on one against each other and you'd 2065 01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:34,520 Speaker 2: face a picture. And it was filmed in an old 2066 01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:39,240 Speaker 2: ridley field in Los Angeles, and anything that wasn't a 2067 01:54:39,240 --> 01:54:42,720 Speaker 2: home run wasn't out. So you get three balls to 2068 01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 2: the warning track, you're done. He's a ground ball, that's 2069 01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:47,120 Speaker 2: an out. Pop fly, it's an out, And you swing 2070 01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:48,880 Speaker 2: the bat. If it doesn't go over the fence, it's 2071 01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:51,560 Speaker 2: an out. So anything that's not an out as a 2072 01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:55,320 Speaker 2: home run, what do they do. They played nine innings 2073 01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:58,480 Speaker 2: and they'd go back and forth and then Mark Scott, 2074 01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:01,600 Speaker 2: a very rep you know, reputable announcer, back back then 2075 01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:05,920 Speaker 2: we are talking. We are literally talking sixty five years ago. Okay, 2076 01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:08,280 Speaker 2: but it's on I'm sure you can find it on 2077 01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,040 Speaker 2: YouTube or something. Hell I may look it up myself. 2078 01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:11,160 Speaker 6: They already found it. 2079 01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:15,360 Speaker 2: Nickna used to show that he's on ESPN Classic as 2080 01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:18,800 Speaker 2: recent as fifteen years ago, recent as fifteen years ago, 2081 01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:23,080 Speaker 2: because it's nostalgic. So just pretend fast forward that format 2082 01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:28,080 Speaker 2: to now and then extrapolate that into a team game. Okay, 2083 01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:32,480 Speaker 2: So you'd have two teams of four or four teams 2084 01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:34,520 Speaker 2: of two or whatever, and they go back and forth, 2085 01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:38,120 Speaker 2: and then you know, why not invite Rafael palmyre all right, 2086 01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:42,160 Speaker 2: Invite Alex Rodriguez, invite them, all right. There's no sport 2087 01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:45,560 Speaker 2: that drives more nostalgia than baseball. So can you imagine 2088 01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:48,040 Speaker 2: if you got to the ninth inning and each team 2089 01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:52,000 Speaker 2: wild have their captain decided. You got Griffy going against Bonds, 2090 01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,720 Speaker 2: Mark McGuire going against Sammy Sosa. Pick your you know, 2091 01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:59,920 Speaker 2: pick your poison any way you slice it. This is 2092 01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,840 Speaker 2: delicious to me because home run derby is something I 2093 01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:07,040 Speaker 2: don't think baseball will ever get rid of. And if 2094 01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:10,000 Speaker 2: players are smart, they shouldn't want to participate. It anymore. 2095 01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:11,720 Speaker 2: But to what you? What happen to Bobby abray? 2096 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:11,840 Speaker 7: You? 2097 01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:15,160 Speaker 2: And you know I might have watched it this year. 2098 01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:18,400 Speaker 2: I didn't if say, Shoho Tani had been in it, 2099 01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,080 Speaker 2: I mean, Nick, I'm not screwing this up. O Tani 2100 01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:24,400 Speaker 2: wasn't in it? Was he was Otani in the Ale 2101 01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:27,720 Speaker 2: home run Derby this year? Nick? All right, Nick must 2102 01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,080 Speaker 2: be working on something. I don't think. I don't think 2103 01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:32,440 Speaker 2: he was. So I got to plead stupid because I 2104 01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:34,320 Speaker 2: didn't watch it. And the reason I didn't watch it 2105 01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:36,480 Speaker 2: is it's played out. And I just explained a minute 2106 01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:40,320 Speaker 2: ago that while I was in Detroit in two thousand 2107 01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:42,960 Speaker 2: and five and working in radio and the All Star 2108 01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:45,880 Speaker 2: Game came to Detroit, Bobby Obrao basically screwed up his 2109 01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:48,600 Speaker 2: bat career and his swing and everything, hitting forty four 2110 01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:50,760 Speaker 2: home runs winning the home run Derby. The good news 2111 01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:53,240 Speaker 2: these guys don't have to play the following week. So 2112 01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,080 Speaker 2: bringing on, guys, if you're listening, I'm all for it. 2113 01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:57,600 Speaker 2: There's not a dot in my mind.

You know, it never fails. Every day 2134 01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:59,400 Speaker 2: in this great land of ours, and certainly across the 2135 01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:03,680 Speaker 2: globe from seed to Oily Sea, somebody does something that 2136 01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:07,320 Speaker 2: causes you to raise an eyebrow. And oftentimes it's innocuous. 2137 01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:11,840 Speaker 2: Oftentimes it's just annoying.

And 2146 01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:46,080 Speaker 2: we take you to Saint Pete Beach, Florida, and I 2147 01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:50,560 Speaker 2: want to introduce you to Sarah and coachera who decided 2148 01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:53,920 Speaker 2: to have a little gnash at a popular restaurant there 2149 01:58:53,920 --> 01:58:57,240 Speaker 2: in Saint Pete Beach called Rick's Reef. Now, Sarah and 2150 01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:01,000 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, a forty six year old young lady 2151 01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:04,400 Speaker 2: who lives nearby. And but she kind of found herself 2152 01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:08,080 Speaker 2: right in the middle of a very odd ball incident involving, 2153 01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:14,280 Speaker 2: wait for it, a burrito. So witnesses to the incident 2154 01:59:15,280 --> 01:59:19,880 Speaker 2: described the situation as this Sarah Ankochiera, Well, she was 2155 01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,280 Speaker 2: kind of embroiled in a very heated argument with an 2156 01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:26,280 Speaker 2: unidentified man when all of a sudden, in a fit 2157 01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:29,840 Speaker 2: of frustration and a fitter age, she wound up and 2158 01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:35,560 Speaker 2: hurled the burrito in his general direction. Unfortunately, she failed 2159 01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:38,760 Speaker 2: to hit her cut off man, and her scattergun arm 2160 01:59:39,320 --> 01:59:42,919 Speaker 2: was not accurate, her aim was off, and the burrito 2161 01:59:43,120 --> 01:59:48,520 Speaker 2: struck in the face an innocent victim. A nearby patron 2162 01:59:49,080 --> 01:59:51,400 Speaker 2: had nothing to do with it. Struck in the face 2163 01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:56,760 Speaker 2: by Sarah's errant burrito. I am hopeful the guy opened 2164 01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:59,040 Speaker 2: his mouth and at least got a free lunch out 2165 01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:03,720 Speaker 2: of it. But surely you jest. Don't call me Shirley. 2166 02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:08,919 Speaker 2: So of course the police recalled authorities promptly called the scene, 2167 02:00:09,120 --> 02:00:12,400 Speaker 2: responding reports of a woman causing a scene and disturbing 2168 02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:16,160 Speaker 2: the peace. By the time they arrived, Kochera well, she'd 2169 02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:19,320 Speaker 2: high tailed it from the restaurant and refused to cooperate 2170 02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:23,000 Speaker 2: with responding deputies. In fact, she kind of loitered in 2171 02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:27,240 Speaker 2: the vicinity. But here's what's interesting. She described herself as 2172 02:00:27,240 --> 02:00:31,120 Speaker 2: a financial advisor on her LinkedIn profile. She ultimately, of course, 2173 02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:35,520 Speaker 2: was taken into custody and she was charged with disorderly content. 2174 02:00:36,320 --> 02:00:40,040 Speaker 2: Stayed at the Connie Jail briefly released on bail early 2175 02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:43,400 Speaker 2: the following morning. But here's the beauty, Sarah and Coochera 2176 02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:48,800 Speaker 2: has a body of work. This is not her first barbecue, 2177 02:00:49,160 --> 02:00:52,120 Speaker 2: not her first encounter with legal troubles. In fact, just 2178 02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:56,000 Speaker 2: last month, she was accused of physically assaulting her sixty 2179 02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:59,440 Speaker 2: six year old boyfriend during an argument with their shared residents. 2180 02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:03,400 Speaker 2: Once again, in law enforcements officially documented a visible injury 2181 02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:07,840 Speaker 2: in the victim's face, indicating Kocheria this time had thrown 2182 02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:11,640 Speaker 2: a punch. Not a burrito, but a punch. However, due 2183 02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:14,120 Speaker 2: to a request from the victim and a subsequent decision 2184 02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:18,400 Speaker 2: by prosecutors, the domestic battery case against Coacheria was dropped. 2185 02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:21,920 Speaker 2: Will the third time be the charm? I certainly hope not. 2186 02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:25,760 Speaker 2: In the meantime, Sarah and Katia of Saint Pete's Beach, Florida, 2187 02:01:26,080 --> 02:01:29,040 Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool are you?

But you know, she's a. 2193 02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:43,440 Speaker 2: She likes to mix things up. 2194 02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:46,560 Speaker 6: I guess yeah, much more accurate the punch than the burrito. 2195 02:01:46,720 --> 02:01:50,640 Speaker 6: That's correct, All right, Bernie, Well, you took us to Florida, 2196 02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:53,400 Speaker 6: so we're gonna stay here in the mecca of brand 2197 02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,880 Speaker 6: new fools for my story, and I'm gonna introduce you 2198 02:01:56,960 --> 02:02:02,240 Speaker 6: to one James Timothy Kelly.

Kelly then verbally 2205 02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:27,080 Speaker 6: responded by saying, I'm not here for that. I'm here 2206 02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:31,160 Speaker 6: to rob you, stating at plainling.

It's hilarious that they played in this ballpark in 2450 02:15:27,640 --> 02:15:33,320 Speaker 6: lag Yeah, nobody's there. How did they not bring anybody 2451 02:15:33,360 --> 02:15:35,600 Speaker 6: that They were like, we're just doing this for TV. 2452 02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:38,640 Speaker 2: It was done in November. It was done in November 2453 02:15:38,680 --> 02:15:39,120 Speaker 2: every year. 2454 02:15:39,360 --> 02:15:41,200 Speaker 6: You're right, they did in the winter. I get, but 2455 02:15:41,680 --> 02:15:43,720 Speaker 6: why would you not want to fill the stands up? 2456 02:15:44,080 --> 02:15:46,600 Speaker 2: Because they were a clueless packed in and they didn't 2457 02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:48,560 Speaker 2: know how to use Twitter here you get to drill. 2458 02:15:48,600 --> 02:15:52,160 Speaker 2: Everything's different now, everything's commercialized now, right and so. 2459 02:15:52,520 --> 02:15:57,240 Speaker 6: H anyway, did they air these right after that they 2460 02:15:57,280 --> 02:15:59,400 Speaker 6: shot them? Or were they trying to keep it under 2461 02:15:59,400 --> 02:16:03,440 Speaker 6: wraps as to how things transpired if it was gonna 2462 02:16:03,480 --> 02:16:06,840 Speaker 6: take you know, they had some turnaround time between filming 2463 02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:09,760 Speaker 6: and actually airing it on TV. Maybe that's why they 2464 02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:12,120 Speaker 6: kept it empty. But but it's so weird that you 2465 02:16:12,160 --> 02:16:16,040 Speaker 6: have all these old stars from the fifties and they're 2466 02:16:16,120 --> 02:16:19,760 Speaker 6: just swinging at balls with nobody around. 2467 02:16:20,040 --> 02:16:22,160 Speaker 2: Did you play the audio did you happen to hear 2468 02:16:22,640 --> 02:16:26,640 Speaker 2: the almost comical, mundane conversations between Mark Scott? Well, first 2469 02:16:26,640 --> 02:16:29,400 Speaker 2: of all, yeah, who were the two contestants for the 2470 02:16:29,560 --> 02:16:30,920 Speaker 2: for the one you you were able to see? 2471 02:16:31,080 --> 02:16:34,840 Speaker 6: Well, this, the video I found that was most readily available, 2472 02:16:34,920 --> 02:16:37,800 Speaker 6: is kind of like ESPN sort of. It's like a 2473 02:16:37,840 --> 02:16:41,160 Speaker 6: five minute video short showcasing the whole thing. So you 2474 02:16:41,160 --> 02:16:43,320 Speaker 6: get a little voice over. Yeah, you know, you do 2475 02:16:43,400 --> 02:16:45,080 Speaker 6: get a little bit of Mark Scott though, but it's 2476 02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:47,760 Speaker 6: just sort of kind of bouncing around. There's there's one 2477 02:16:47,760 --> 02:16:51,800 Speaker 6: of him here with with Willie Mays, Duke Snyder and 2478 02:16:51,840 --> 02:16:54,400 Speaker 6: a bunch of other guys, and yeah, he's funny, he's 2479 02:16:54,480 --> 02:16:59,039 Speaker 6: he's a little dry Mark Scott, but he plays his 2480 02:16:59,080 --> 02:16:59,920 Speaker 6: part very well. 2481 02:17:01,200 --> 02:17:04,120 Speaker 2: To your point, I don't even think they thought it 2482 02:17:04,200 --> 02:17:09,200 Speaker 2: through enough to consider the production aspect of having the 2483 02:17:09,280 --> 02:17:12,840 Speaker 2: ambience of human beings in the stands, right, I think. 2484 02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:15,119 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I don't even think that entered 2485 02:17:15,120 --> 02:17:16,959 Speaker 2: their mind. It was an idea, It was a con 2486 02:17:17,240 --> 02:17:19,840 Speaker 2: And by the way, I forget who the sponsors were. 2487 02:17:20,480 --> 02:17:22,720 Speaker 2: Did you did did Did they happen to show the 2488 02:17:22,720 --> 02:17:24,879 Speaker 2: sponsors in the because they were big time they were 2489 02:17:24,879 --> 02:17:27,200 Speaker 2: like big time sponsors, and that's how they got on TV. 2490 02:17:27,600 --> 02:17:30,840 Speaker 6: I'm not seeing anything yet here, but I'll continue to 2491 02:17:30,879 --> 02:17:31,360 Speaker 6: poke around. 2492 02:17:31,560 --> 02:17:35,920 Speaker 2: This is right after you know, the IMG group by 2493 02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:39,720 Speaker 2: Mark McCormick was formed in the fifties in Ohio, and 2494 02:17:40,120 --> 02:17:42,320 Speaker 2: this is really when it was just getting going, when 2495 02:17:42,320 --> 02:17:45,359 Speaker 2: like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicholas were doing like Colgate 2496 02:17:45,440 --> 02:17:47,960 Speaker 2: toothpaste and some of the big ads. And this was 2497 02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:51,320 Speaker 2: a playoff of that because these sponsors wanted to hitch 2498 02:17:51,360 --> 02:17:53,879 Speaker 2: their wagon to the Willie Mayses and you know, and 2499 02:17:53,920 --> 02:17:54,640 Speaker 2: the Mickey Mantle. 2500 02:17:54,840 --> 02:17:58,000 Speaker 6: I found, Yeah, I found one here. Now that's like 2501 02:17:58,080 --> 02:18:02,959 Speaker 6: twenty twenty something minutes here goes through. It's funny. It's 2502 02:18:02,959 --> 02:18:06,080 Speaker 6: even more jarring actually here in the other chaw with it. 2503 02:18:06,280 --> 02:18:09,199 Speaker 2: Watch it for two reasons. And by the way, remember 2504 02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:11,840 Speaker 2: the old ESPN Classic Channel. They don't have it anymore, 2505 02:18:11,840 --> 02:18:14,360 Speaker 2: and they'll still show some of that same programming things 2506 02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:17,879 Speaker 2: to show these all the time back in the nineties, 2507 02:18:18,200 --> 02:18:20,960 Speaker 2: and as I can remember watching it his recent as 2508 02:18:20,959 --> 02:18:24,039 Speaker 2: twenty ten, because again it's back to the nostalgic trap. 2509 02:18:24,080 --> 02:18:26,240 Speaker 2: And in case folks missed it, there is a real 2510 02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:29,040 Speaker 2: possibility that we might have a legend's home run Derby. 2511 02:18:29,160 --> 02:18:30,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll happen as soon as next year, 2512 02:18:31,080 --> 02:18:35,120 Speaker 2: it's entirely possible. And it all started because somebody jokingly 2513 02:18:35,240 --> 02:18:37,600 Speaker 2: challenged Ken Griffy's manhood, and all of a sudden, a 2514 02:18:37,640 --> 02:18:40,360 Speaker 2: bunch of players are on board and the thing is 2515 02:18:40,440 --> 02:18:42,200 Speaker 2: rife with ideas. And one of the reasons I had 2516 02:18:42,240 --> 02:18:45,320 Speaker 2: you watching, Nick is because I can see that format 2517 02:18:45,360 --> 02:18:48,040 Speaker 2: working for the old timers. All right, coming up, Chris 2518 02:18:48,040 --> 02:18:50,240 Speaker 2: profets World of Soccer, But first let's go back to 2519 02:18:50,280 --> 02:18:52,760 Speaker 2: our guy, Nick Cope with the latest results on Home 2520 02:18:52,800 --> 02:18:55,560 Speaker 2: Run Derby in nineteen fifty nine, yeah. 2521 02:18:54,920 --> 02:19:02,040 Speaker 6: Well this was nineteen sixty Harriet and al is it Kaline? Yeah, 2522 02:19:02,120 --> 02:19:05,400 Speaker 6: it's him against Hank Aaron and I can. I can 2523 02:19:05,440 --> 02:19:08,640 Speaker 6: report back later how it ended up. But it looked 2524 02:19:08,720 --> 02:19:10,760 Speaker 6: like Hank Aaron was doing. 2525 02:19:10,840 --> 02:19:12,360 Speaker 2: That's what I was telling about. I got to know 2526 02:19:12,560 --> 02:19:14,720 Speaker 2: l very well in Detroit when I covered the Tigers, 2527 02:19:14,959 --> 02:19:16,800 Speaker 2: and I brought it up one day. He said, oh, yeah, 2528 02:19:16,840 --> 02:19:18,480 Speaker 2: we used to love it. We flo out to la 2529 02:19:18,560 --> 02:19:20,840 Speaker 2: for the weekend. Beautiful weather.

All times have changed, yes, they have. 2532 02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:29,520 Speaker 6: Let's let's go to the Women's World Cup first, because 2533 02:19:29,520 --> 02:19:32,160 Speaker 6: we got a match that just went final. The Netherlands 2534 02:19:32,160 --> 02:19:36,959 Speaker 6: defeated Portugal one to nothing. Netherlands Portugal in the same 2535 02:19:37,040 --> 02:19:39,840 Speaker 6: group as the United States, so the US and Netherlands 2536 02:19:39,840 --> 02:19:43,080 Speaker 6: tied for the group lead, each with three points. Of course, 2537 02:19:43,160 --> 02:19:46,440 Speaker 6: the US having the advantage on gold differential four.

Earlier, Sweden came back from down a goal 2540 02:19:52,600 --> 02:19:54,680 Speaker 6: they beat South Africa. That would have been a huge 2541 02:19:54,760 --> 02:19:57,400 Speaker 6: upset for South Africa if they could have gotten it done. 2542 02:19:57,520 --> 02:20:00,320 Speaker 6: But Sweden with the game winning goal in the ninetieth minute, 2543 02:20:00,440 --> 02:20:02,640 Speaker 6: they get the win.

No 2599 02:23:11,480 --> 02:23:16,039 Speaker 10: surprise for anyone, United States thrashed Vietnam three nil, but 2600 02:23:16,560 --> 02:23:18,360 Speaker 10: a lot of those goals came on the leg of 2601 02:23:18,480 --> 02:23:23,240 Speaker 10: Sophia Smith, who is for many the rising star ready 2602 02:23:23,280 --> 02:23:26,959 Speaker 10: to replace Alex Morgan and the old cast Sophia Smith 2603 02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:29,760 Speaker 10: will kind of be seen as the leader, especially on 2604 02:23:29,800 --> 02:23:32,400 Speaker 10: a prolific United States offense in the years pass that 2605 02:23:32,520 --> 02:23:36,320 Speaker 10: is simply buried teams in goals. Lindsay Horan also getting 2606 02:23:36,360 --> 02:23:39,280 Speaker 10: in on the action and scoring as well. This was 2607 02:23:39,480 --> 02:23:41,760 Speaker 10: nothing else a tune up game for the United States 2608 02:23:41,800 --> 02:23:43,720 Speaker 10: coming in here. One of the things they still have 2609 02:23:43,800 --> 02:23:46,520 Speaker 10: to learn is how to mesh the old guard with 2610 02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:48,920 Speaker 10: the new guard. As we've talked about before on the 2611 02:23:48,920 --> 02:23:51,560 Speaker 10: World of Soccer Bernie, a lot of these players this 2612 02:23:51,640 --> 02:23:55,600 Speaker 10: is their first World Cup. It's Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, 2613 02:23:56,480 --> 02:24:00,640 Speaker 10: It's Emily Fox, it's Alyssa Thompson. It's fourteen who are 2614 02:24:00,640 --> 02:24:03,840 Speaker 10: all making their tournament debut here. But the United States 2615 02:24:03,840 --> 02:24:05,960 Speaker 10: has a luxury that they have this game where they 2616 02:24:05,959 --> 02:24:08,760 Speaker 10: can kind of figure things out and get tuned up 2617 02:24:08,800 --> 02:24:11,480 Speaker 10: and get ready to go. Yes, there were only about 2618 02:24:11,520 --> 02:24:14,080 Speaker 10: eight shots on goal, but you can get away with 2619 02:24:14,120 --> 02:24:18,240 Speaker 10: that against Vietnam. The trick up is Netherlands and United 2620 02:24:18,240 --> 02:24:20,760 Speaker 10: States is going to have to show progress between here 2621 02:24:20,800 --> 02:24:23,240 Speaker 10: and now to take on the team that they beat 2622 02:24:23,560 --> 02:24:27,320 Speaker 10: in the last World Cup four years ago. Nevertheless, United States, 2623 02:24:27,360 --> 02:24:29,480 Speaker 10: who is still on a World Cup winning streak. I 2624 02:24:29,480 --> 02:24:32,680 Speaker 10: don't think the Netherlands will really give them too many problems. 2625 02:24:33,080 --> 02:24:36,560 Speaker 10: We also saw something of a very early tournament disappointment 2626 02:24:36,680 --> 02:24:40,680 Speaker 10: in England's first victory over Haiti. Now they did win, 2627 02:24:41,160 --> 02:24:43,039 Speaker 10: but only by one goal and it came on a 2628 02:24:43,040 --> 02:24:46,040 Speaker 10: penalty kick from Georgia Stanway. For an English team who 2629 02:24:46,080 --> 02:24:48,240 Speaker 10: has very high hopes that this is their World Cup 2630 02:24:48,280 --> 02:24:50,879 Speaker 10: to win, it's not the way they really want to start, 2631 02:24:51,040 --> 02:24:52,680 Speaker 10: and certainly not the way they want to start when 2632 02:24:52,680 --> 02:24:55,400 Speaker 10: they have Denmark as their next competition coming up here 2633 02:24:55,560 --> 02:24:57,760 Speaker 10: in a few days. We'll keep an eye on that. 2634 02:24:58,200 --> 02:24:58,520 Speaker 6: However. 2635 02:24:58,560 --> 02:25:00,800 Speaker 10: The spotlight got stolen a little bit from the women's 2636 02:25:00,800 --> 02:25:03,640 Speaker 10: game on Friday night as well. MLS clubs were back 2637 02:25:03,680 --> 02:25:07,279 Speaker 10: in action after an all Star break, which very funny 2638 02:25:07,320 --> 02:25:10,640 Speaker 10: that the MLS decides the best course to reward their 2639 02:25:10,680 --> 02:25:13,120 Speaker 10: all Stars is to get their butts kicked by a 2640 02:25:13,200 --> 02:25:16,280 Speaker 10: European team, in this case Arsenal, who routed the MLS 2641 02:25:16,320 --> 02:25:19,560 Speaker 10: All Stars five nil in the middle of the week. 2642 02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:22,880 Speaker 10: But then they were back in action for the League's Cup. Now, 2643 02:25:22,920 --> 02:25:24,800 Speaker 10: the League's Cup is a competition they've been trying to 2644 02:25:24,840 --> 02:25:28,360 Speaker 10: put on on and off between the MLS and Liga 2645 02:25:28,520 --> 02:25:31,080 Speaker 10: MX of Mexico. The MLS, of course playing over the 2646 02:25:31,080 --> 02:25:34,400 Speaker 10: summertime and into the fall, whereas Lega MX plays in 2647 02:25:34,480 --> 02:25:37,440 Speaker 10: kind of a split season format with the Klauds, Sora 2648 02:25:37,520 --> 02:25:40,600 Speaker 10: and the Appatura, so this kind of falls between seasons 2649 02:25:40,920 --> 02:25:44,000 Speaker 10: for Lega MX. But it also meant that we had 2650 02:25:44,040 --> 02:25:47,440 Speaker 10: some action here and the debut of Leonel Messi came 2651 02:25:47,520 --> 02:25:50,840 Speaker 10: not in an MLS on MLS match, but against Mexican 2652 02:25:50,879 --> 02:25:54,000 Speaker 10: club Cruz a Zool. We know Messi's had something of 2653 02:25:54,080 --> 02:25:58,400 Speaker 10: a interesting week. He was spotted shopping out at Publics, 2654 02:25:58,920 --> 02:26:02,400 Speaker 10: a grocerychain you can find across Florida and southern Georgia. 2655 02:26:03,200 --> 02:26:06,199 Speaker 10: I've been to a Publix before, delicious chicken tender, pub 2656 02:26:06,280 --> 02:26:12,120 Speaker 10: subs have. I greatly respect his choice in shopping and 2657 02:26:12,240 --> 02:26:15,279 Speaker 10: of course a massive showing last week when he was debuted. 2658 02:26:15,480 --> 02:26:20,520 Speaker 10: But what nobody could anticipate was a storybook finish as 2659 02:26:20,640 --> 02:26:23,600 Speaker 10: Leonel Messi took the pitch on the fifty fourth minute 2660 02:26:23,760 --> 02:26:26,640 Speaker 10: for Inter Miami. Inter Miami at that time had a 2661 02:26:26,640 --> 02:26:30,760 Speaker 10: one goal lead in the game until Cruise Azuel's Antuna 2662 02:26:31,160 --> 02:26:34,320 Speaker 10: managed to make it even with two mention of stoppage time. 2663 02:26:34,400 --> 02:26:37,080 Speaker 10: Leonel Messi, trying to put the game on his shoulders, 2664 02:26:37,080 --> 02:26:39,160 Speaker 10: gets knocked down and Inter Miami is. 2665 02:26:39,120 --> 02:26:40,000 Speaker 6: Awarded a free kick. 2666 02:26:40,040 --> 02:26:42,480 Speaker 10: Who takes it other than Leonel Messi, and who other 2667 02:26:42,600 --> 02:26:46,600 Speaker 10: than Leonel Messi in what is basically a buzzer beater goal, 2668 02:26:47,120 --> 02:26:50,800 Speaker 10: sales it casually over the head of Cruise Azul to 2669 02:26:51,920 --> 02:26:54,960 Speaker 10: the corner of the net. His first goal for Inter 2670 02:26:55,080 --> 02:26:59,920 Speaker 10: Miami is a game winner in the dying seconds, not minutes, 2671 02:27:00,200 --> 02:27:03,320 Speaker 10: seconds of that game. As you say, Bernie, sports are 2672 02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:05,960 Speaker 10: the best entertainment out there, and you can write everything 2673 02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:09,160 Speaker 10: except the outcome. This one, though, felt like it had 2674 02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:12,320 Speaker 10: been written and ordained from on high. Hopefully it's a 2675 02:27:12,360 --> 02:27:15,359 Speaker 10: sign of things to come, as we'll keep eagerly eyes 2676 02:27:15,440 --> 02:27:18,400 Speaker 10: on that and the Women's World Cup for the next 2677 02:27:18,480 --> 02:27:19,240 Speaker 10: world of soccer. 2678 02:27:19,959 --> 02:27:22,720 Speaker 2: You're not wrong, Chris, It's a script right out of Hollywood, 2679 02:27:23,400 --> 02:27:26,840 Speaker 2: a Lionel Messi's in icon. What a dramatic debut enter 2680 02:27:26,920 --> 02:27:30,560 Speaker 2: Miami the MLS the game winning goal. He didn't even 2681 02:27:30,640 --> 02:27:33,440 Speaker 2: check into the game. With fifty four minutes. Some people 2682 02:27:33,480 --> 02:27:36,440 Speaker 2: paid thousands for their seats and the owner, well, this 2683 02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:38,200 Speaker 2: is why I paid one hundred million dollars to have 2684 02:27:38,200 --> 02:27:41,720 Speaker 2: a chance in moments like this, the game's greatest active 2685 02:27:41,720 --> 02:27:46,080 Speaker 2: player compared favorably with Pele seven time ball into your Winner. 2686 02:27:46,120 --> 02:27:49,400 Speaker 2: A World Cup champion sends the ball over four defenders 2687 02:27:49,560 --> 02:27:54,840 Speaker 2: for the winning goal, unquestionably an incredibly iconic event, as 2688 02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:57,240 Speaker 2: you observe. By the way, if you don't think this 2689 02:27:57,280 --> 02:27:59,840 Speaker 2: is a big deal, why did Lebron James or Tom Brady, 2690 02:28:00,120 --> 02:28:04,720 Speaker 2: Kim kardashi unor Emelia Estefan Totago law Why did they 2691 02:28:04,720 --> 02:28:07,200 Speaker 2: all want to be there? Why did people pay thousands 2692 02:28:07,200 --> 02:28:10,840 Speaker 2: for the seats? You know why? Soccer is underway, by 2693 02:28:10,879 --> 02:28:13,920 Speaker 2: the way, already looking forward to Wednesday night, six pm Pacific, 2694 02:28:14,360 --> 02:28:18,640 Speaker 2: nine pm Eastern USA, Netherlands. You heard my commentary at 2695 02:28:18,680 --> 02:28:21,800 Speaker 2: the top of the show. It's not a lock. It's 2696 02:28:21,840 --> 02:28:24,720 Speaker 2: far from a lock for this women's team to threepeat, 2697 02:28:24,800 --> 02:28:28,280 Speaker 2: something that's never been done on the World Cup soccer stage. 2698 02:28:28,320 --> 02:28:33,640 Speaker 2: Coming up, Hard Knocks is well underway already. And oh, 2699 02:28:33,680 --> 02:28:37,600 Speaker 2: by the way, is there a Hard Knocks curse? I 2700 02:28:37,640 --> 02:28:41,000 Speaker 2: will answer that question in the meantime, here's a little tease. 2701 02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:45,879 Speaker 2: Hard Knocks people wanted New York Jets. The New York 2702 02:28:45,920 --> 02:28:49,320 Speaker 2: Jets because of their star power, and of course Aaron Rodgers. 2703 02:28:50,080 --> 02:28:54,800 Speaker 2: But the camera has already captured a little action and 2704 02:28:54,879 --> 02:28:58,400 Speaker 2: gotten themselves more than they've already bargained for. I'll tell 2705 02:28:58,400 --> 02:28:59,920 Speaker 2: you what's going on in the first three days of 2706 02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:02,440 Speaker 2: Hard Knocks and Jetscamp.

By the way, you just 2721 02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:59,760 Speaker 2: came across the wire Barbie the movie Barbie and Oppenheimer. 2722 02:30:00,720 --> 02:30:03,800 Speaker 2: This will blow your mind. Four hundred and sixty five 2723 02:30:03,840 --> 02:30:06,320 Speaker 2: million dollars so far the first weekend at the box office. 2724 02:30:07,160 --> 02:30:10,360 Speaker 2: Now that's worldwide, but still three hundred million annually and 2725 02:30:10,400 --> 02:30:14,280 Speaker 2: they're just getting started. Holy reveal. They're speaking of box office, 2726 02:30:14,280 --> 02:30:18,120 Speaker 2: speaking of home box office. I'll see what I did there. Well, 2727 02:30:18,320 --> 02:30:21,760 Speaker 2: HBO Hard Knocks they wanted to feature the Jets because 2728 02:30:21,760 --> 02:30:26,520 Speaker 2: of their star power and obviously most notably Aaron Rodgers, 2729 02:30:26,600 --> 02:30:29,720 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame quarterback who is added to the 2730 02:30:29,720 --> 02:30:33,520 Speaker 2: team in the offseason. Well, the camera crews three days 2731 02:30:33,520 --> 02:30:37,039 Speaker 2: in are getting a little more than they're bargaining for. 2732 02:30:37,160 --> 02:30:38,800 Speaker 2: Instead of the New York Jets, you might have to 2733 02:30:38,840 --> 02:30:42,720 Speaker 2: start calling them the brawling Jets or the fighting Jets. 2734 02:30:42,760 --> 02:30:45,080 Speaker 2: They're getting a bonus. The Jets have been a little feisty, 2735 02:30:45,840 --> 02:30:48,760 Speaker 2: not keeping their tempers under control during camp drills. Get 2736 02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:51,119 Speaker 2: a little hot under the collar, if you get my drift. 2737 02:30:51,800 --> 02:30:54,440 Speaker 2: Three days into training camp for the Jets, there have 2738 02:30:54,520 --> 02:30:59,160 Speaker 2: been multiple fights that have broken out between players at practice. 2739 02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:01,760 Speaker 2: And that's the first session that was open to the fans. 2740 02:31:01,800 --> 02:31:06,440 Speaker 2: Saturday's practice there was a sold out crowd and a 2741 02:31:06,480 --> 02:31:09,760 Speaker 2: hockey game broke out, maybe a usc match there were several, 2742 02:31:10,120 --> 02:31:14,360 Speaker 2: as it was reported, competitive skirmishes. Now four teams are 2743 02:31:14,400 --> 02:31:18,600 Speaker 2: in camp, but the Jets open the preseason if you 2744 02:31:18,640 --> 02:31:21,400 Speaker 2: can believe it, a week from Thursday. A week from 2745 02:31:21,400 --> 02:31:24,160 Speaker 2: Thursday is a Hall of Fame game. Now the reports 2746 02:31:24,160 --> 02:31:26,000 Speaker 2: say there were as many as three different fights. At 2747 02:31:26,080 --> 02:31:28,959 Speaker 2: least one of them was caught on camera. Came early 2748 02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:32,240 Speaker 2: in the practice, about eleven to fifteen am. According to 2749 02:31:32,240 --> 02:31:36,039 Speaker 2: the Athletic, it ended fairly quickly, but then right just 2750 02:31:36,080 --> 02:31:39,279 Speaker 2: a few minutes later, a couple of second year defensive players, 2751 02:31:39,360 --> 02:31:42,320 Speaker 2: Jermaine Johnson and Michael Clemens. I guess this was a 2752 02:31:42,360 --> 02:31:43,840 Speaker 2: two on two match. I don't know. Maybe it was 2753 02:31:43,840 --> 02:31:46,800 Speaker 2: tag team wrestling versus Freddy BLASTI when you need him. 2754 02:31:46,959 --> 02:31:50,200 Speaker 2: Kenny Yoba and Jeremy Ruckert don't act like I know 2755 02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:52,480 Speaker 2: those names. I don't. But the final bottle of the 2756 02:31:52,560 --> 02:31:54,840 Speaker 2: day saw Johnson and Clements, so they stirred things up 2757 02:31:55,240 --> 02:32:00,400 Speaker 2: with some other unidentified offensive lineman. No question that Jets 2758 02:32:00,440 --> 02:32:04,440 Speaker 2: have high expectations this year. No question. HBO has high 2759 02:32:04,440 --> 02:32:09,480 Speaker 2: expectations for Hard Knocks, as do I. By the way, 2760 02:32:10,480 --> 02:32:12,320 Speaker 2: we'll get to see our first Hard Knocks episode a 2761 02:32:12,360 --> 02:32:15,720 Speaker 2: week from Tuesday, August first. I'm looking forward to it, 2762 02:32:15,760 --> 02:32:17,600 Speaker 2: and you are too. Don't act like you're not. By 2763 02:32:17,640 --> 02:32:21,000 Speaker 2: the way, not for nothing, one of the group thinks 2764 02:32:21,120 --> 02:32:24,400 Speaker 2: echo chamber narratives that has somehow emerged from the ether 2765 02:32:24,720 --> 02:32:28,280 Speaker 2: fairly recently hasn't gotten that much traction. Is that is 2766 02:32:28,760 --> 02:32:32,240 Speaker 2: that one of the reasons Hard Knocks is considered an 2767 02:32:32,240 --> 02:32:35,480 Speaker 2: a pediment for certain teams is because there's this false 2768 02:32:35,600 --> 02:32:38,920 Speaker 2: narrative that there's quote a Hard Knocks curse. Is there 2769 02:32:40,200 --> 02:32:42,960 Speaker 2: is there actually a Hard Knocks curse? Now we all 2770 02:32:43,040 --> 02:32:47,400 Speaker 2: know that there's never been a participant in Hard Knocks 2771 02:32:47,680 --> 02:32:51,080 Speaker 2: who's won a Super Bowl, much less even gotten to 2772 02:32:51,120 --> 02:32:54,800 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. And the franchise has been around since 2773 02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:57,400 Speaker 2: two thousand and one. And if you look year by year, 2774 02:32:58,400 --> 02:33:00,320 Speaker 2: and they did take a hiatus right for I don't 2775 02:33:00,360 --> 02:33:03,360 Speaker 2: even remember why, from three to six, and they took 2776 02:33:03,360 --> 02:33:06,560 Speaker 2: a year long hiatus in twenty eleven because of the lockout. 2777 02:33:09,800 --> 02:33:11,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, during the COVID year, you actually 2778 02:33:11,440 --> 02:33:14,119 Speaker 2: had two Hard Knocks teams, Rams and Chargers. But I digress. 2779 02:33:14,400 --> 02:33:18,840 Speaker 2: That's a bit of minutia. Interestingly enough, coincidentally, not ironically, 2780 02:33:18,959 --> 02:33:21,400 Speaker 2: our any is when the firehouse is burning down, this 2781 02:33:21,440 --> 02:33:25,200 Speaker 2: is a coincidence. The only team to actually get to 2782 02:33:25,320 --> 02:33:29,200 Speaker 2: their conference championship game happened to be the AFC Championship 2783 02:33:29,200 --> 02:33:32,680 Speaker 2: game were the aforementioned Jets, with Rex Ryan and Mark 2784 02:33:32,720 --> 02:33:36,200 Speaker 2: Sanchez win eleven and five and twenty ten. They were 2785 02:33:36,200 --> 02:33:38,320 Speaker 2: the only team to actually make it to the AFC 2786 02:33:38,400 --> 02:33:42,960 Speaker 2: Championship Game. So is there, in fact, is there any 2787 02:33:43,040 --> 02:33:47,680 Speaker 2: merit to the rumor that there is a Hard Knocks curse? Well, 2788 02:33:47,720 --> 02:33:50,560 Speaker 2: the data doesn't show that. The numbers might not seem 2789 02:33:50,600 --> 02:33:54,920 Speaker 2: great on the surface, but if you look at this objectively, 2790 02:33:55,160 --> 02:33:57,840 Speaker 2: all right, there have been a total of eighteen teams 2791 02:33:57,840 --> 02:34:00,480 Speaker 2: in the history of Hard Knocks that have participated in 2792 02:34:00,520 --> 02:34:03,760 Speaker 2: the program. Eight of those teams have actually gone on 2793 02:34:03,800 --> 02:34:07,720 Speaker 2: to post winning records the following season. That's pretty good. 2794 02:34:08,560 --> 02:34:11,920 Speaker 2: Seven actually made the playoffs. Now, I get no one's 2795 02:34:11,959 --> 02:34:14,800 Speaker 2: ever made or got won a Super Bowl or gotten 2796 02:34:14,840 --> 02:34:17,800 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, But you've got to remember the 2797 02:34:17,920 --> 02:34:22,480 Speaker 2: NFL's criteria for selecting a Hard Knocks participant. One of 2798 02:34:22,520 --> 02:34:24,959 Speaker 2: the most important factors is that any team that has 2799 02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:27,560 Speaker 2: made the playoffs in the last two seasons can opt 2800 02:34:27,600 --> 02:34:30,760 Speaker 2: out of the program. What does that mean? Often you're 2801 02:34:30,760 --> 02:34:33,800 Speaker 2: not getting the NFL's most successful teams, they're able to 2802 02:34:33,840 --> 02:34:36,920 Speaker 2: avoid participating in the program. Now, they've been on a 2803 02:34:36,959 --> 02:34:39,920 Speaker 2: handful of teams. You know, Jerry Jones, they volunteered to 2804 02:34:39,920 --> 02:34:42,000 Speaker 2: be on the program, but it's few and far between. 2805 02:34:42,720 --> 02:34:46,400 Speaker 2: You take it a step further overall NFL teams participating 2806 02:34:46,400 --> 02:34:49,840 Speaker 2: in Hard Knocks, they've actually posted a cumulative record of 2807 02:34:51,200 --> 02:34:54,480 Speaker 2: seven in the regular season and in the postseason they've 2808 02:34:54,480 --> 02:34:57,560 Speaker 2: played eleven games. They're four and seven. Those numbers are 2809 02:34:57,760 --> 02:35:01,039 Speaker 2: are respectable, they're not terrible. It proves there really is 2810 02:35:01,080 --> 02:35:04,720 Speaker 2: not a competitive disadvantage to appearing on the show. I 2811 02:35:04,720 --> 02:35:06,920 Speaker 2: don't tell that to the two thousand and two Cowboys 2812 02:35:07,240 --> 02:35:10,879 Speaker 2: who were five and eleven and talk about again volunteering. 2813 02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:13,760 Speaker 2: Cowboys are the only franchise to do this three times. 2814 02:35:13,760 --> 02:35:16,560 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, they were twelve and five, but 2815 02:35:16,600 --> 02:35:18,120 Speaker 2: they got beat by the forty nine ers in the 2816 02:35:18,120 --> 02:35:20,480 Speaker 2: wildcard round. In two thousand and eight they were nine 2817 02:35:20,480 --> 02:35:22,280 Speaker 2: and seven, did make the playoffs, and they were five 2818 02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:25,720 Speaker 2: and eleven and two. But look the Bengals. They made 2819 02:35:25,720 --> 02:35:28,480 Speaker 2: the playoffs, lost to the Jets and the wild card round. 2820 02:35:28,560 --> 02:35:31,240 Speaker 2: Back in twenty oh nine, Bengals came back in twenty 2821 02:35:31,280 --> 02:35:34,039 Speaker 2: thirteen lost to the Chargers in the wildcard round. Even 2822 02:35:34,080 --> 02:35:37,720 Speaker 2: the Texans twenty fifteen they were nine and seven, lost 2823 02:35:37,760 --> 02:35:40,800 Speaker 2: to the Chiefs in the wildcard round as well. And 2824 02:35:40,840 --> 02:35:43,760 Speaker 2: I mentioned the Rams back during COVID they were ten 2825 02:35:43,760 --> 02:35:46,240 Speaker 2: and six eight I remember they lost to the Packers 2826 02:35:46,280 --> 02:35:49,160 Speaker 2: in the divisional round. So there doesn't appear to be 2827 02:35:50,080 --> 02:35:54,480 Speaker 2: any data that would support that participating in hard knocks 2828 02:35:54,760 --> 02:35:58,200 Speaker 2: will be an impediment not having a successful season. In 2829 02:35:58,240 --> 02:36:02,600 Speaker 2: other words, there is no hard knocks. Curse fighting, yes, 2830 02:36:03,200 --> 02:36:06,520 Speaker 2: curse no. A week from Tuesday we get our first episode. 2831 02:36:06,840 --> 02:36:09,080 Speaker 2: You know we're all looking forward to it.
