Does? Why do you have 33 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: anything tonight? Jogi says, how the heck do I know? 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: I haven't caught a single pitch yet. Did you notice 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: the new rule last night, the kickoff rule? Yeah, the 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: critics are out in full force, and I get it. 37 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: Hit out, I get it. First night had all the 38 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: excitement of a Dan the Man Levitan concert. Look, can 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: we please pump the brakes for just a second, just 40 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: a second. I mean, first of all, the game was 41 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: played last night largely by good fellas that are all 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: going to be working at NAPA Auto Parts next month. 43 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that, good Christian work, good Christian values. 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: Just saying most of those guys weren't even in NFL players. 45 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: There were eight kickoffs, though in three and a half 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: quarters seven were returned. Okay, we can work with this. 47 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah it looked weird, but did you know last year 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, only twenty two percent of all 49 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: kickoffs were returned perc sent a kickoffs for touchbacks? Do 50 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: you want that? By the way, don't ever underestimate special teams. 51 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: They're an incredibly important part of football on every level, 52 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: including high school. You want to make your bones, you 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: want to oppress a coach doing on special teams. As 54 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: Terrell Davis, he was about to get cut by the 55 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos in Japan. He calls an airline and says, 56 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: get me out of here. I didn't want to go 57 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: to the game to night, couldn't get a flight that night. 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: They put him in on special teams. He blew somebody up. 59 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: Next to the rest is history. Ryan Clark, same deal, 60 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: But we're not going to go down that road. I'll 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: tell you the road we are going to go down, 62 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: at least trying to understand what the hell the NFL 63 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: is trying to do, because it's not a bad thing. 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: It's a good thing. There were only four kickoffs the 65 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: entire season in twenty twenty three returned for touchdowns. You 66 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: want that excitement back. So the owners voted this last 67 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: spring to overhaul the kickoff review. They kickoff play. They 68 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: want to revive it. It had little to no action 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: last season. Like I said, seventy eight percent were touchbacks. 70 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: So the new rules got their first chance to be 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: used Thursday night between the Bears and Texans. First of all, 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: real quickly, and this is only a one year trial, 73 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: so we'll see if they keep it. I'm gonna bet 74 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: they are, because when this gets going and coordinators and 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: special teams coaches figure out how to make this thing work, yeah, 76 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: I think it could be something. But let's give it 77 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: a chance. 78 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 3: You know. 79 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: They also want to kind of limit the high speed collisions. 80 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: And remember the NFL was sued for a billion dollars 81 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: the concussion thing, right, you get it. You read about 82 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: it in all the papers. But here's the deal. Here's 83 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: how it's gonna look standard kicks. Well, they're still gonna 84 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: begin from the thirty five yard line, But did you 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: notice everything look weird because the ten kick coverage players 86 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: were lined up twenty five yards down the field on 87 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: the opposing team's forty uh huh. Now, the return team 88 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: will also have nine blockers lined up at what they 89 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: call the setup zone between the thirty and thirty five 90 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: yard line, but at least seven of those players have 91 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: to touch the thirty the thirty five yard line. Up 92 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: to two returners will be allowed inside the twenty, so 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: only the kicker and the two returners are allowed to 94 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: move until the ball hits the ground or is field 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: that are touched by a returner inside the twenty. Now, 96 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: any kick that reaches the end zone in the air, 97 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: you can return it, or the receiving team cannot for 98 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: a touchback, And now they get positioned on the thirty 99 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: yard line. Pretty good field position all right. By the way, 100 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: any kick that reaches the end zone goes out of 101 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: bounds or out of the end zone is also a touchback. 102 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: It goes to the thirty yard line. Now, why did 103 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: the NFL make this change? Let's face, the kickoff returns 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: have basically become obsolete. There have been a series of 105 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: real changes that have made them safer over the past 106 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: several seasons, but last season was a new Oh if 107 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: you want to be if you want to get granular. 108 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: Only twenty one point eight percent of all kicks were 109 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: returned last season because all too often teams would say, 110 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: let's forego the risk of a possible return, let's take 111 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: some field position and have a nice day. So to 112 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: give you some perspective, just the year before, thirty eight 113 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: percent of the kicks had been returned, But fifteen years 114 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: ago eighty percent of all kicks were returned in the NFL, 115 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: and the NFL estimates they believe they'll get that number 116 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: back above fifty percent this year. Again, the changes were 117 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: put in play because kickoffs were considered the most dangerous 118 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: plays all the high speed collisions they were. Probably most 119 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: of those plays contributed to more concussions than anything else. 120 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: So the hope is the new rule will increase the 121 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: number of returns, but with not as much danger. The 122 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 2: reason everybody was nonplussed about what happened last night is 123 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: because special teams coaches they haven't begun to start to 124 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: figure this out. Yet you got coverage players that can't 125 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: move until the ball hits the ground or returner in 126 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: the landing zone. Hang time is really no longer a 127 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: key factor in kicks. As a matter of fact, I 128 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: gotta tell you, I gotta tell you. We've all seen 129 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: the potential flaw with everybody lined up in a nice 130 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: row like you're playing duck duck goose or something. If 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: you bust that gap and you're you find an opening, 132 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: you might be off to the races. I'm gonna throw 133 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: a curveball here. How's that for making a metaphor Hell, 134 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: instead of having your kicker do kickoffs, why not just 135 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: have a defensive back kickoff. Some of those guys probably 136 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: kicked in high school. They did everything kick punt, you know, offense, defense, return, team, 137 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: punt team, kickoff, team kickoff or did it never came 138 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: off the field that way. If you have a situation 139 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: where a speedy returner breaks that wall instead of a 140 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: kicker back there looking kind of silly like garrya Premian 141 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: google it, knuckleheads, Uh, you got a chance, So look 142 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: for the returns. It's gonna look a little bit more 143 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: like a traditional running player. Than the old kickoff return. 144 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: So I think you might even see more running backs 145 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: as returners. Why you capitalize it on their ability to 146 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: find a hole and with their vision and so you know, 147 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: by the way, the new rules also eliminate the possibility 148 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: of surprise on side kicks like the one that Drew 149 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: Brees and New Orleans stole back in Super Bowl forty four. 150 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: So is it perfect? 151 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: No? 152 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: Was it exciting Thursday night? Far from it. But I 153 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: say we gave it a chance. I say we gave 154 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: it a chance. I think as the season goes on, 155 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: you might wear them up to it. And I think 156 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: again you'll see more kick returns. And again, most of 157 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: those guys playing last night are going to be on 158 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: the roster in a month. So give, give the special teams, coordinators, 159 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: give the teams, give people a chance to study this. 160 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: But we don't want to kick off going away ever, 161 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 2: all right, And I know the NFL doesn't want to 162 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: get sued for a billion dollars again, so they're trying 163 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: to find the best of both worlds. So that is 164 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: my biggest takeaway from Thursday Night in the Hall of 165 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: Fame game.

You can't sleep. 218 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 7: We got to start getting our body clocks ready to 219 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 7: go so we can rent up and do these long 220 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 7: days and get ready for twenty four to seven football. 221 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure you haven't slept since September of 222 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, the month before the Golden Knights took Yes, 223 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: that's a story for a different day, Kevin. I want 224 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: to just start with this ever so quickly, tongue in cheek, 225 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: do you suppose the Raiders at Allegiance Stadium this year 226 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: might sell Kermit the Frog with Kansas City Chief logans. 227 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that whole little ordeal that it took 228 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: root they were throwing some shaded Patrick Mahomes. 229 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 7: You know that, as usual with social media, got maybe 230 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 7: taken out of context and got a little out of hand. 231 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 7: It was it was a fan that was there that 232 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 7: handed it to the rookie player who didn't know exactly 233 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 7: what to do with it. So, you know, a lot 234 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 7: of it in portrayed in the media said that the 235 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 7: Raiders had it there on site and was passed when 236 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 7: they were passing it around. That's that's not true. But 237 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 7: you know, if it adds a little bit more juice 238 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 7: to the rivalry, that's fine. I mean, you know, the 239 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 7: Chiefs or you know, the champs, and so the Raiders 240 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 7: have got to knock them off if they're going to 241 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 7: take the next step in winning the division. And you know, 242 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 7: I just kind of saw that as a side story 243 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 7: more than anything else that kind of got. 244 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 8: Out of control. 245 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: Sure, sure, so though, you know, for the people that 246 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: were upset about that with the Chiefs, then they weren't 247 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: upset when they did the ring around the rosie inside 248 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: the Allegiance states that's right, that's fair. 249 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 7: You can't have it bull play. 250 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: That's fair hashtag facts, and let's if I'm being also fair. 251 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: I got to tell you the Raiders went into Giha 252 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 2: Stadium or whatever the heck they called these days on 253 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: Christmas Day and they pushed the Chiefs around. That defense 254 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: was for real that day. So this is shaping up 255 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: to be go ahead, you want to say, Tim, I. 256 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 7: Know the Chiefs kind of said that that was kind 257 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 7: of the thing that kind of got Abound track to 258 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 7: go win the Super Bowl? 259 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 9: Was that? 260 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? 261 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 7: That did because the Raiders did push them around. But 262 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 7: I think it's going to add a little more juice 263 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 7: to it to what we're going to see this year. 264 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 7: And another quote unquote holiday type game, because the Raiders 265 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 7: are in Kansas City for the Black Friday Game this year. 266 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: They are talking with Kevin Bolander, Fox five sports director 267 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas on the TV side. Kevin so 268 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: shaping up to be interesting ANFC West. I don't want 269 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: to go into the Chargers situation or the Broncos situation, 270 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: but Antonio A. Pears took over last year and there 271 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: was a decided bounce in the Raiders step, particularly on 272 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: the defense. Do you believe that carries over this year? 273 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 7: I think it does, especially with the defensive side of 274 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 7: the ball. I mean, this is Patrick Graham's third year 275 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 7: leaving this defense, and the back half of the year, 276 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 7: obviously they were one of the better defenses in the NFL, 277 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 7: and and if anything, they got a little bit better 278 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 7: adding Christian Wilkins on the line. So I think defensively 279 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 7: is not where the Raiders have issues. But I also 280 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 7: think that when you talked about a little more bounce 281 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 7: and energy when Antonio Peirce was named the interim head coach, 282 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 7: the whole vibe of the team was a complete one 283 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 7: to eighty over what it was with Josh McDaniels. And 284 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 7: we're seeing that carry over into training camp this year. 285 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 7: This is an energized group of players that have a 286 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 7: little bojo and swagger. Now can that carry itself through 287 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 7: seventeen games Steason with the ups and downs of the 288 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 7: roller coaster that inevitably is going to happen. That remains 289 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 7: to be seen. But certainly the team's having a little 290 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 7: bit of fun out here, just like they were at 291 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 7: the end of last season. 292 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: You know, that's a good point. Interestingly enough, depending on 293 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: folks and their viewpoints, the betting markets here in Las Vegas. 294 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: The sportsbooks have listed the Raiders win total over under 295 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: at six and a half. I got to believe a 296 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: lot of people have taken umbrage with that. That means 297 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: they're expected to be an under five hundred team. Again, 298 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: does that kind of information circulate amongst the Raiders at all? 299 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 7: You know, they pay attention to everything. You know. They 300 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 7: may say they don't, but they know the numbers. They 301 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 7: actually some of the players have talked about the fact 302 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 7: that they were, you know, picked to have seven or 303 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 7: eight wins by certain publications. They didn't exactly say the 304 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 7: sports books, if you will. They were talking more on 305 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 7: some of the national publications, and they were outspoken about 306 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 7: their dislike for that, and Antonio Pearce said that he 307 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 7: was fine with his players being outspoken about that as well. 308 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: But they also said after that they weren't happy that 309 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 7: the only way they're going to change the narrative is 310 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 7: to go out there and win. So they do realize 311 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 7: that you have to earn it on the field, and 312 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 7: this team quite honestly has it done. So They've only 313 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 7: been of the playoffs a couple of times I'm here 314 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 7: in the last two decades, so they've got to win 315 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 7: and win consistently if they want to change that narrative 316 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 7: and the six and a half win total. I mean, 317 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 7: right now, they still don't know who their starting quarterback 318 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 7: is going to be. So until they kind of get 319 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 7: a feel for where this team is headed offensively, I 320 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 7: think that you know they're going to have to just 321 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 7: live with that and then again go out on the 322 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 7: field and prove them wrong if if they think that 323 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 7: that number is not right. 324 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: That's an excellent segue because you've got a nice little 325 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: quarterback competition in camp. I understand both Gardner Minshew and 326 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: Aidan O'Connell are splitting raps about fifty to fifty. But 327 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: Gardner might have taken a slight lead. And I heard 328 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: he hit Brock Bollowers and stride the other day across 329 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: the middle of the stud tight end out of Georgia. 330 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: That got some people excited. Your thoughts, Well, here's. 331 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 7: The thing that's happened so far in this training camp. 332 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 7: Gardner Minshew will have a good day, which she did 333 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 7: on Wednesday. The team didn't practice on Thursday. Aidan O'Connell 334 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 7: have the better day today. They kind of seem to 335 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 7: be alternating and nobody is stacking day, So nobody's separating 336 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 7: themselves in the competition, and that's something that certainly Antonio 337 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 7: Pierce would like to see happened with somebody that can 338 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 7: do that. And they're really two different types of quarterbacks. 339 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 7: They know Cowns a little more of a traditional pocket 340 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 7: type guy Gardner Minshew's somebody who maybe is a little 341 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 7: more comfortable when he has to leave the pocket and 342 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 7: uses legs. So it'll be interesting to see as they 343 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 7: play out. For fans who like to see potential starters 344 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 7: play preseason football, we don't see that a lot in 345 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 7: the NFL anymore. You're going to see that with the 346 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 7: Raiders this year because not only are they going to 347 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 7: have to play both quarterbacks to get a feel for 348 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 7: who's going to be QB one, but they're going to 349 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 7: make sure that they play starters around them for two reasons. One, 350 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 7: they want to get them comfortable with who are their 351 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 7: starters are going to be on the field, and b 352 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 7: they want to protect their starting quarterback. They're not going 353 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 7: to throw a third string offensive line out there, you know, 354 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 7: with going up against guys that are trying to make 355 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 7: a team maybe in a roster and think it'd be 356 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 7: a little more gung ho. So the Raiders plan on 357 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 7: playing their starters a little bit in the preseason, and 358 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 7: that's something that they have not done a lot of 359 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 7: in the last ten years. 360 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: You know, I am wondering if at the end of 361 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: the day, Antonio Pierce ops for the veteran because if 362 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: you look at the first nine weeks of the schedule, Kevin, 363 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 2: it's a little daunting. You open up at the Chargers 364 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: a divisional game right out of the slate, and then 365 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 2: you go to Baltimore. But in those first nine weeks, 366 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: you've got to travel to Cincinnati, the Rams, You've got 367 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and the Chiefs at home. It feels like a 368 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: veteran would be more able to navigate that because he's 369 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: been there before. But regarding that schedule, is it something 370 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: you've taken a look at and noticed how daunting those 371 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 2: first nine weeks are? 372 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think that you know, when you 373 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 7: play in the ANFC West and you're going to see 374 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 7: the Chiefs two times a year, that's always gonna kind 375 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 7: of be your cornerstone, right and then uh, but they 376 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 7: have they do have a tough schedule and there's some 377 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 7: gaps and there's every team has a tough schedule and 378 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 7: there's gonna be some gaps that maybe some easier spots 379 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 7: where he could try and strings screen together some wins 380 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 7: and some some spots where they're going to have to 381 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 7: get things done. As to who they go with with 382 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 7: the quarterback, it'll be interesting to see because they do 383 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 7: open in LA against the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh's first 384 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 7: game with the Chargers, but Aidan O'Connell's first ever NFL 385 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 7: start was at SOFI Stadium against the Chargers. You've kind 386 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 7: of thrown into the fire. I believe it was Week 387 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 7: four last year. Khalil Mack had six sacks in that game, 388 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 7: uh and Abe O'Connell said that he learned a lot 389 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: in terms of holding on to the ball uh too 390 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 7: long and things like that. That heat had benefited him 391 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 7: when he got back into the starting role later in 392 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 7: the season. So well, it'll be a storyline either way. 393 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 7: It's either going to be redemption for Aidan O'Connell against 394 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 7: the Chargers at SOFI or we're going to see Gardner 395 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 7: Minshew uh get to start with his fourth NFL seeing 396 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 7: the Raiders. 397 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: Last question for me, Kevin, You're right around the corner 398 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: from Chargers camp there as well. I'm not overreacting to 399 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 2: the foot situation that that you know, Harball is going 400 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 2: to be dealing with with this quarterback. Do you expect 401 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: him to start Week one? To the best of your knowledge, I. 402 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 7: Would anticipate that he'll be ready to roll. You know, 403 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 7: I don't know how serious an injury is, obviously, I 404 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 7: don't think anybody does. What's your inside that room. But 405 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 7: the way that the the injury happened at, you know, 406 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 7: end of July, first part of August. Here, the way 407 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 7: they do the schedule where there's a long gap before 408 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 7: that first regular season game from the last preseason game. 409 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 7: If the doctors that I've been reading that everybody else 410 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 7: has to stay in the four to six weeks, that 411 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 7: should put him in line to do it. But at 412 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 7: the same time, the Chargers also want to make sure 413 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 7: that this is an issue that doesn't linger. They want 414 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 7: to make sure that they haven't for the long haul, 415 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 7: and I don't think that they're going to want to 416 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 7: rush them back as well. So it's going to be 417 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 7: an interesting thing leading up into Week one. It's happened 418 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 7: with the Raiders Chargers game before whether they didn't know 419 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 7: who they were going to get me, they would end 420 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 7: up you know, they ended up getting stick in the past. 421 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 7: So it's going to be the big storyline as we 422 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 7: go into week one. 423 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: Great stuff, Ken, Yeah'm in agreement. I would be very 424 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: surprised if Justin Herbert isn't under center week one. But 425 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: it's a long season and the plan of fasciatus is 426 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: a is a weight buring injury. So Kevin appreciates you 427 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: as always. Man. We'll catch up down the road, and 428 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: thanks for all your help.

She took multiple shots of the face early 505 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: in the first round, then with you know, Withdrew she 506 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 2: raised her hand forty six seconds in apparently had a 507 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: broken nose. She refused to handshake from her opponent and 508 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: was she's seen crying later. Interestingly enough, Khaliff was her opponent. 509 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: Khalif was disqualified hours before her gold medal at the 510 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three World Championships in New Delhi after she 511 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 2: failed a gender eligibility test. Now the International Boxing Association 512 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: the IBA, their rules prevent athletes from x Y chromosomes 513 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: from competing in women's events. The IBA issued a statement 514 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: Wednesday saying the results of the test Khalif was subjected 515 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: to are confidential but conclusively indicated that Khalif did not 516 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: meet the required necessary eligibility criteria was found to have 517 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: competitive advantages over other female competitors. End Quotal after the fight. Karini, 518 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: the female fighter from Italy, could be yelling. It could 519 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: be heard yelling this is unjust as she withdrew from 520 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 2: the fight, and she later told reporters in attal and 521 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: she's never taken a punch like that. But stop short 522 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: of saying Khalif should not have been allowed to compete. 523 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 2: I think she since upon apologized for not shaking hands. 524 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: Just to be clear and be complete here, she said, 525 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: quote quote I got into the ring to fight, but 526 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 2: I didn't feel like it anymore. After the first minute, 527 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. 528 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: I didn't give up, but a punch her too much, 529 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 2: so I said enough, I'm leaving with my head held 530 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: I now. Interestingly enough, Italian officials questioned Calice's eligibility before 531 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: Thursday's bout, and they actually encouraged Karini not to go 532 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: through with a fight, and apparently many of her fans 533 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: in Italy tried to tell her, don't go. It's a man, 534 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 2: it's dangerous for you. But she got into the ring 535 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: and to see what happened. Now. This year's boxing competition 536 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: is governed by the IOC's Paris Boxing unit, which has 537 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: many more relaxed rules than ever governing bodies. There's also 538 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: a second boxer from Chinese tape named Lynn Yu Ting, 539 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: also competing at the Olympics after being qualified for the 540 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: World Championships last year for the same reason as Khalif. 541 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: That box one also, So there are two incidents. So 542 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: when you hear of this, what is your kneejerk reaction? 543 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: Should men be competing against women? But gladiator sports? Gladiator sports, 544 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: This one really doesn't sit right with me. But I 545 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 2: want to hear from you, and we'll do that at 546 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 2: the top of the hour. So this is now, you know, 547 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: spilled over into international competition, and it's now spilled over 548 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: into what you would call a true gladiator sport. So 549 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: a little different dynamic here. We want to chop that 550 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: up in the midnight hour when we start taking your 551 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: calls at midnight. Of course, in twenty three minutes from 552 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: where I sit here in Las Vegas, it will be 553 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: twelve midnight literally, but where you sit it may be 554 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: twelve midnight literally as well, or anywhere around the world 555 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: where we get calls, it's certainly twelve midnight figuratively hour. 556 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 2: You've got the last word speaking the last word. I 557 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: want to talk about the New York Jets and Aaron 558 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: Rodgers and Garrett Wilson and many other things as well. 559 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 2: In retrospect, I wonder if Rogers wishes he might not 560 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: have gone to Egypt in missed mini camp. And I 561 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: don't say that tongue in cheek. I mean it seriously. 562 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: I'm seeing chinks in the armor here with the Jets. 563 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: We're gonna get to that in just a minute. It's 564 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: not just between Rogers and Garrett Wilson and some of 565 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: the other players. Robert sala is also part of this 566 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: as well. Are we headed towards a disaster or a 567 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 2: Super Bowl? What's more likely? I'm Bernie Fradder. We are 568 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: coming to live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio 569 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 2: tirect dot Com studios. Keep it locked.

We 572 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: are coming to you live from the Tarack dot Com 573 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Coming up in fifteen minutes 574 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: the midnight hour. Your calls eight seven, seven, nine to 575 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 2: nine on Fox eight seven seven nine to nine, six 576 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: six three six nine. Bri will be taking your calls 577 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: your thoughts on the fight in which Italian female boxer 578 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 2: Angela Karini lost, want to get your thoughts when you 579 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: observe this. That's it, all right. The New York Jets 580 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: are going to continue to be I think, a very 581 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: in many ways polarizing story this year. The opposite of 582 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: love is not hate. If you hate, you have the 583 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: same emotion invested. When you love, you have to care. 584 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 2: So there are people that are rooting for the Jets 585 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: to fail, people that are rooting for the Jets to win. 586 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 2: It feels like there's just an incredible amount of pressure 587 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 2: on the Jets and Robert Sala and the entire organization, 588 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: especially on the heels of what happened last year after 589 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: four plays. And it didn't help, honestly, it It didn't 590 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: help that Rogers missed Mini Camp. I thought about this thing. 591 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: You know, he had everything planned to go to Egypt 592 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: before he knew the dates of Mini Camp. Then he 593 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: got the dates of Mini Camp and he kind of 594 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: got it clear. But this whole thing is not going over. 595 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,239 Speaker 2: It's going over like a fart in church. It's just 596 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: not going well. Because you wonder now Mike Aaron Rodgers 597 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 2: as the face of the franchise now and the team 598 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: leader been better off to move his Egypt to it 599 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 2: back a month and spend mini camp working out some 600 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: fine details with his receivers. I covered the lines for 601 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: ten years pre and pulse and a phish capacity. Mini 602 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 2: camps important, there's the reason they have it. And interestingly enough, 603 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: just the other day, the Jets had their first practice 604 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 2: and pads and according to reporters, it went very poorly 605 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: on my at least in the eyes of Aaron Rodgers, 606 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: and he was not afraid to let his teammates know it. 607 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: According to reports, Rogers was quote visibly upset through much 608 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 2: of the practice, according to Rich Saminia of ESPN, and 609 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: he lashed out at his teammates on several occasions. Now, 610 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 2: much of Aaron Rodgers' frustration seemingly stemmed from the many, 611 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: many miscues from the offensive line, including a number of 612 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: sacks poor snaps from their center Joe Tipman. Centers maybe 613 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: the most difficult position to learn in the National Football League. 614 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 2: You're not just snapping the ball. You're eating defenses and 615 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: looking at personnel groupings. There's a lot, there's more than 616 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 2: you realize, and this is second year so Rogers is 617 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: working with a guy who was probably kindergarten when Rogers 618 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 2: was making his debut in the league. Reports also indicated 619 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers was livid when one of his offensive 620 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 2: linemens stepped on his foot, which sent Rogers to the ground. 621 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: Can you imagine, all right, these things actually do happen. 622 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: He didn't mean to do it. Look, Alan Wizard, who 623 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: has history with Aaron Rodgers, stuck off for him a 624 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 2: little bit. He said, honestly, quote, he expects the same 625 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 2: standard that he holds himself to out of everyone else. 626 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 2: You mean, like not showing up a mini camp. Okay, 627 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 2: couldn't resist that. Honestly, he expects the same standard that 628 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 2: he holds himself to out of everyone else. And today 629 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: he just didn't resemble that at all. The team didn't 630 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: resemble that at all. We think as an offense, we were 631 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 2: just a bit too sloppy. This is Alan Blizzard to 632 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 2: wide receiver who's got history with Aaron Rodgers. Now people 633 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: say this is not a cost for a panic, but 634 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 2: some people are panicking, especially this early in camp. This 635 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: is a red flag. Rogers his legacy secure. I believe 636 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 2: he's won a Super Bowl he's a prolific passer, He's 637 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 2: a brilliant talent. No one can argue that, but they're 638 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 2: there's always something around Aaron Rodgers that is not savory, 639 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: just isn't. I mean, we didn't have any of the 640 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: you know, spending the room, you know, the dark room, 641 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 2: or any of this goofy stuff that he talks about 642 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: things being a beautiful mystery, and he didn't have a 643 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 2: lot of that. But what you are having after four 644 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 2: snaps and basically zero success or experience with the New 645 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 2: York Jets, who are a pretty good team, that's a 646 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: defense that's very much for real, and they have enough 647 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 2: junk in their trunk to get to the playoffs and 648 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 2: make some noise in the playoffs. Last year they won 649 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: seven games with very moribund quarterback play. So you can 650 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 2: say this isn't necessarily a cost for panic. But the 651 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 2: problem is when you set the tone this early for 652 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 2: these kind of diet tribes, it leaves a bad taste 653 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 2: in some people's mouth and you are basically getting a 654 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 2: See Aaron Rodgers could get away with this in green Bay, 655 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 2: he had tenure. He made his bones in Green Bay. 656 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 2: Followed Brett Favre and when in three years won a 657 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so that's the only time he won it. 658 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: But the look, they were a fixed ure in the playoffs, 659 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 2: and Robert Rogers has thrown for a million yards, so 660 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 2: you get it. Okay, no one's questioning his ability. But 661 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 2: now the Jets are getting a taste from the real 662 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, considering the fact that because his season was 663 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 2: derailed by injury just a few snaps last year, they 664 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 2: haven't had a chance to develop the kind of success 665 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 2: and build a foundation of good vibes because they didn't 666 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 2: win and Rogers didn't play. And it's pretty evident from 667 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 2: people that are there that Rogers is imminently aware of 668 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 2: what happened last year and how his season was cut short. 669 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 2: He does not want that to happen again. And that 670 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 2: means Rogers, perhaps more than any other quarterback in the 671 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 2: NFL this year, is really going to need solid play 672 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 2: from his offensive line. Now, there are some other critics 673 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 2: out there and their point, their their you know, opinion 674 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: must be hurt. They point out that Jets might not 675 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 2: be so discombobulated if Aaron Rodgers had been present for 676 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 2: many camp Now pumped the brakes just like I said 677 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 2: about the kickoff rule. It's very early in camp, and 678 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 2: like every team, the Jets, well they got they got 679 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 2: to iron. They need to iron some things out, which 680 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 2: is a nice way of putting it. They need to 681 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 2: iron a lot of things out. They open up at 682 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 2: San Francisco. Then you had the situation of Robert Sala 683 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 2: briefly mentioned that Rogers might be taking some snaps in 684 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 2: the preseason. And Rogers does appear healthy, you know, he 685 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 2: remember he's coming off of torn achilles tendon a little 686 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: well less than a year ago, and I think it 687 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 2: was probably presumed he wouldn't play in any of the 688 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 2: preseason games. But Robert Sala said, well, quote my instinct, 689 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 2: there's nobody I want to leave it open. And then 690 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 2: what does Rogers say, Well, that's news to me. But 691 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 2: then they all kind of backpack and says, well, you know, 692 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 2: if he wants me to play, you know, I'll be 693 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 2: ready to go. Man, I'll be all fired up. I'll pomp. 694 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 8: Yeah. 695 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 2: Right, Okay. Salad did say he definitely won't play in 696 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 2: the first two games, but they're having a discussion on 697 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 2: the third game. They haven't made up their decision yet. 698 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 2: I almost think you have to you have to do something. 699 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 2: You got to get back on the horse. Even though 700 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 2: exhibition games right are just that. But do you really 701 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 2: want to go into the season well having taken a 702 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 2: single snap with some live bullets coming at you. I 703 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: think I think that could be an issue. I really 704 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 2: do so. The second part of the Midnight Hour, which 705 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: we'll be taking your calls here in seven minutes eight seven, 706 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 2: seven nine nine, six six three sixty nine, is is 707 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: real simple. The bottom line is this. The Jets are 708 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 2: going to be a story this year. If they win, 709 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 2: it's going to be a story. If they lose, it's 710 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 2: going to be a story how it happens. That's what 711 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 2: we're all waiting to see. And believe me, we are 712 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 2: waiting the Jets open up on Monday Night Football this year. 713 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 2: It should be massively you know, I would say, watched 714 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 2: the tension, just the first three or four snaps, watching 715 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and then they're gonna have to win. They're 716 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: gonna have to navigate that division. Miami is gonna be better, 717 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 2: Buffalo isn't going anywhere. A lot of pressure is on 718 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 2: the Jets, and a lot of pressure is on Robert Solid. 719 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 2: He's already listed as being one of the coaches on 720 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 2: the hot seat. And we haven't even started the preseason yet. 721 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 2: So those are our two subjects.

As a matter of fact, if that wasn't 744 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 2: the case, why did the IBA disquality this individual back 745 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 2: in March twenty twenty three.

By the way, the New York 753 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 2: Jets will be done by week six. It's just crazy 754 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 2: the tweets that are coming. In a civilized society, if 755 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 2: a man beat type of women, they're arrested for assault 756 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 2: and batter.

With all the drug testing and all X 789 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 8: like chromosomes and stuff and everything, that was their best defense. 790 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 8: Well on the passport it said she was a female. 791 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 8: This is a severe black guy's going to taint this Olympics. 792 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 8: And you know, it's just a start, but I think 793 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 8: this is a tip of the iceberg and all of 794 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 8: this stuff is going to crash. Now. Remember Biden and 795 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 8: Harris just signed the title nine thing saying that men 796 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 8: can compete in women's sports and if you complain, you 797 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 8: can get charged with a crime. So you know that's 798 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 8: how far this is going. So I think it's going 799 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 8: to get real back in the next day, next year 800 00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 8: or so. 801 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 2: I mean, what are your thoughts on well, what are 802 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 2: your thoughts Jim on the Jets and Aaron Rodgers And 803 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 2: there's already right out of the gate, there's already a 804 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 2: little trouble in Paradise. People should not act like there's 805 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 2: not This is not a good look. Are you rooting 806 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 2: for the Jets and what are your thoughts? Are they 807 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 2: going to do well this year or not? Are you 808 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 2: rooting for them or not? 809 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 8: I think I think they're going to do well. The 810 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 8: thing is, like you said before, like Chuck Daly used 811 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,879 Speaker 8: to say that they're they're managing an adult day kiss 812 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 8: and that's thing in the NFL, same thing in the NFL. 813 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 8: But I do believe he should get some time in 814 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 8: preseason because it's all about timing. I mean, that's when 815 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 8: you get hurt if you're not up to speed with 816 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 8: the timing. 817 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 2: I think the Jets are got to. 818 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 8: Do good enough to get into the playoffs, and then 819 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 8: when they get into the playoffs, it's just like Al 820 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 8: maguire used to stay about the NCAA terms, not about winning, 821 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 8: it's about surviving and see what happens. But I think 822 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 8: they're going to do well. 823 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in agreement, Jim. I thank you, appreciate your 824 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 2: calls as always, and I wanted the main thing I 825 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 2: want to see is Aaron Rodgers deplete the season, even 826 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 2: if he starts fifteen out of seventeen games with that defense. 827 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 2: This is gonna be a great story. Bree, do by 828 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 2: any chance to have fell back that he call back 829 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 2: in phill for Massachusetts. Okay, thanks, bre Let's go to 830 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 2: Mike in Modesto. Mike, you're up next. 831 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 4: Welcome in well, Bernie. 832 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 13: I feel that it's very simple that it's not fair 833 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 13: to women who have trained their whole life, even women 834 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 13: as far as high school level and above, they should 835 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 13: not have to compete against men. This is the ultimate 836 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 13: attack on women. And if women have to shut up 837 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 13: before a social reason, feminist should be ashamed of themselves 838 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,280 Speaker 13: because if you keep this up, you will destroy women's sports. 839 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 13: Men will hold all your records and you are the 840 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:57,280 Speaker 13: blame for it. Just to be direct, Fantasy Island inns 841 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 13: in the competitive arena were born with x Y chromosomes. 842 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 14: You should not be able to compete in women sports. 843 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 14: It's unfair Aaron Rodgers. If he's not done, they have 844 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 14: the kind of defense it could work. The question is 845 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 14: if he done at the age he is. Sometimes quarterbacks 846 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 14: just fall off. So if he can play well and 847 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 14: be like Aaron Rodgers, they have a chance. My guess 848 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,399 Speaker 14: is like the guy said, week six, start done. That's 849 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:29,839 Speaker 14: what I think. 850 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 2: Interesting. Okay, the interesting stuff, Mike. Appreciate your call as always, 851 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. We did get Phil from Massachusetts 852 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 2: back Phil fingers crossed that your phone line is a 853 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 2: little better. So let's start over. Phil. 854 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 12: Hey, I think a spire. Can you hear me? 855 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? This is good? Better go ahead? 856 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 12: All right? So as far as the boxer goes, look, 857 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,720 Speaker 12: she was born as a woman. She has a jet 858 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 12: a condition. She has not transitioned. She should be able 859 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 12: to come. Some men are born with more physicality as 860 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,760 Speaker 12: than other men those they should be able to compete. 861 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 12: You know. Uh, as far as that goes, you know, 862 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 12: she hasn't transitioned. She was was born. Yes, she has 863 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 12: a genetic condition that he has an X Y chromosome. 864 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 12: But she was born as a woman, she lived as 865 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 12: a woman. 866 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 2: Just what does it get? Stand on the line, Phil, 867 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 2: This is where this gets so interesting. Just got a 868 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 2: tweet from someone named Chris and dude she he was 869 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 2: replying to raging romanticist. Dude she tested positive for an 870 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 2: X chromosome. I don't care if he chose to be 871 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 2: a girl growing up. Clearly you've not done your research. 872 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 2: This is so damn confusing to me. But the Italian 873 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 2: boxer quit saying she'd never been hit like that felt 874 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 2: like a punch from a man. Anyway, continue on, Phil, 875 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 2: because we find out the more confusing it gets. Go ahead. 876 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 12: Look, this is this is the point. If somebody is 877 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 12: a man, was born as a man in transition to 878 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 12: a woman, and they should not compete in women's sports, 879 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 12: that's not fair. They have a genetic advantage. If somebody 880 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 12: was born as a woman and they have a genetic 881 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 12: issue that says they have an x Y chromosome, but 882 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 12: they have a woman's you know, body parts, they should 883 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 12: be able to compete. That shouldn't be an issue. You know, 884 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 12: men sometimes are just stronger than other men and they're 885 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 12: allowed to compete. So if she's born as a woman, 886 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 12: allowed to compete as a woman, that that is fine 887 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 12: with me. 888 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 2: Okay, thoughts. Do you have any thoughts on the New 889 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 2: York Jets and Aaron Rodgers. 890 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 11: He's talking to me, yeah, oh yeah, all right. 891 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 12: Joey Rodgers as I don't know what's going on with him. 892 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 12: He has not played, he has not practiced. 893 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure you're gonna win this year or not. 894 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 12: I don't know what's going on. The dude is like 895 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 12: forty years old. 896 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 4: He has not practiced. 897 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 12: He doesn't care. He's just coasting on his you know, 898 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 12: natural talent. I think that the season for the Jets 899 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 12: is going to. 900 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:02,919 Speaker 4: Be a fail. 901 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate your call. Thanks so much. Phil. We do 902 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 2: this every Friday night at midnight Pacific time. You know, 903 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if Rogers is coasting or he didn't care, 904 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 2: but I do know this. He should have gone to 905 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,720 Speaker 2: Mini caamp and this is not off to a good start. 906 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 2: London and Los Angeles, Welcome to the Bernie Frader Show. 907 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 2: How are you? 908 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 9: I'm fine? 909 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 2: How are you good? Thanks for calling in? What you got? 910 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 4: So? 911 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 15: I felt the years to call in because this is 912 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 15: a topic that is I have some experience with. I 913 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 15: suppose I am the fans. That means I used to 914 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 15: be transgender. For several years, I was, and then I 915 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 15: decided not to be anymore. I think it was not 916 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 15: a good life decision. And so with regard to this, yeah, 917 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 15: I want good watching the Olympics, well I can give you. 918 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 15: I wanted to frame this issue because it is actually 919 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 15: this is an issue that to me, has it has 920 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 15: it has too much nuance for a lot of the 921 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 15: discussion that's going on. 922 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 12: Phil. 923 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,280 Speaker 15: While I agreed with or while he had a better 924 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 15: handle on the facts, I ultimately disagreed with his position 925 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 15: on it. So yes, uh Imani killis was as so, 926 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 15: what assigned female at birth appeared to be female by 927 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 15: all accounts, but as she grew up it appeared that 928 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,319 Speaker 15: she manifested more male traits. I'm not saying that with 929 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 15: regrets of the genitalium thing that with regards to things 930 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 15: like you know, bones, shoulders, and it looked at her, 931 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 15: you can tell that that is the case. It was. 932 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 16: Actually there was. 933 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 15: Another case I believe it was in the Olympics as well, 934 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 15: with a runner named Castor Semenya, same condition. I know 935 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,280 Speaker 15: that there there's plenty of different conditions with regard to that. Anyway, 936 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 15: it's x Y chromosomes is correct, ds the differences in 937 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 15: sexual development, there's the at least the catsul term for 938 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 15: these things. So well, Phil is correct that she was 939 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 15: female from birth essentially, and then I suppose you could 940 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 15: say found out that she at least. 941 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 2: In from your standpoint, From your standpoint, is there is 942 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 2: there a flag you throw here or or is I 943 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 2: mean Gileff? There's no harm, no foul here, just real quickly, 944 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on that? 945 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 15: I would say that while it would appear to not 946 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,879 Speaker 15: be fair to her, she needs to take a step 947 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 15: back and realize that it's not fair to anybody else. 948 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 15: I think that that is a we've become too focused 949 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,799 Speaker 15: on these, you know, tiny little cases in society at 950 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 15: the expense of the majority. 951 00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 2: When you say fair to her, are you talking about 952 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 2: koreem or left to left? 953 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 15: I can understand why. You know you're here to have 954 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 15: this natural ability, and then you grow up and then 955 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 15: you people say that it's not fair that you're competing, 956 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 15: but it is not fair that she's competing. 957 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 2: Okay, but very broad based answer. These are great calls 958 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 2: as usual, we always do you have any thoughts on 959 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:18,800 Speaker 2: the Jets whatsoever? London? 960 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 15: I like Aaron Rodgers. I think he's quote unquote based. 961 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 15: I think it would be nice if the Jets would 962 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 15: be good for once. However, I have been hearing so 963 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 15: much overhype this year, maybe not less so this year 964 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 15: than last year. People are like, oh, I think the Jets, well, 965 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 15: I think they're going to get to the AFC Championship game, 966 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 15: and it's like, what on earth is going on? 967 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 7: And I think it's just you know, New York media. 968 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 15: Blah blah blah. I always have to hear about the 969 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,280 Speaker 15: Mets and Nicks, even though they both stink and always 970 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 15: have and so to me, I think I'm torn. 971 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 14: I'm torn. 972 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 7: If the Jets do well, that's good for the Jets. 973 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 2: If you'll be watching though, right now, pay attention that. 974 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, man, I appreciate you call tonight. 975 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 2: We're off and running, Artemis, Poppy, Bryce, Manuel, hang tight, 976 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 2: don't go anywhere. I want to get to everybody tonight. 977 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 2: This is a very unique topic. Perhaps more information's coming out, 978 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,720 Speaker 2: but all we can do is react to what happened 979 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 2: yesterday and the show's tonight, So what might transpire the 980 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 2: next three days with new information?

Are you there, Artemis? 1010 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm here. 1011 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 2: I'm here. Yeah, go ahead. 1012 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 4: I am a trans woman from Texas and I've dealt 1013 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 4: with a lot of hate and oppression in my time. 1014 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,840 Speaker 4: You can't go to the women's bathroom, even though my 1015 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 4: pronouns is she her. Don't let the voice for you. 1016 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 4: They say you can't get married, They say you can't 1017 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 4: wear a skirt and talk in public. Well, it's twenty 1018 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 4: twenty four and a lot of those things are legal. 1019 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,760 Speaker 4: And it's also legal for her to punch a woman 1020 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 4: in the Olympics because she is a woman. 1021 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 2: You got cleared. So we're not debating that she won 1022 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 2: the fight. She got cleared by an international committee, not 1023 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 2: questioning that. What I'm wondering is people's reactions to what 1024 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 2: they're observing. I don't believe we'd seen that before in 1025 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 2: the Olympics, So what are reactions to that. You're okay 1026 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,720 Speaker 2: with it, basically, right. 1027 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,280 Speaker 4: I am okay with it because she is a woman. 1028 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 2: Right, you're on the line.

He's supposed to be the savior of 1037 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,399 Speaker 4: the team, right, And I hate to say this about 1038 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 4: him because he has good things to say about the 1039 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 4: LGBTQ community, But he's a bomb. 1040 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 2: He's supposed to be the savior. 1041 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 4: He's supposed to be. He's supposed to be God Almighty 1042 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 4: the savior. And it's not happening that way. He's far 1043 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 4: from the savior. It's starting to make me believe, damn 1044 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 4: was he Was it him or was it the other 1045 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 4: players on Green Bay that was one of those championships? 1046 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 2: There you go, that's that's a fair question of you know, 1047 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,760 Speaker 2: it is becoming a parent, It is becoming a parent 1048 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 2: every day. 1049 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,919 Speaker 4: That it wasn't him.

He's going to 1075 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 16: be fighting for those people that say that they're women 1076 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 16: and they're not. 1077 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 11: But I don't know. 1078 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 16: I saw the highlights and I felt like it was 1079 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 16: a hot dog. That person with rand was like for me, 1080 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 16: I thought personally that was a man, and you know, 1081 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 16: I thought that was unacceptable. But it's all part of 1082 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 16: the propaganda what the Olympics are doing. They're like pushing 1083 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 16: all this agenda for people. But hey, it is twenty 1084 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 16: twenty fourths. Crazy stuff's happened. More crazy stuff is going 1085 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 16: to happen. 1086 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 2: Speaking of crazy stuff, what about the Jets and Aaron Rodgers? 1087 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 16: Yes, what crazy stuff? I have a crazy take me 1088 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 16: for you, Bernie. I know you're gonna love this. Well, look, 1089 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 16: Aaron Rodgers is not going to training camp. So this 1090 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,600 Speaker 16: is my conspiracy theory. He had to take a year 1091 00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 16: off last year, who went to Peru? And this year? 1092 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 16: You know, Egypt has the place to be Egypt, Egypt, 1093 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 16: and he went with King Tut and he had a 1094 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 16: generation like he rejuvenized himself, Bernie, And what's gonna happen 1095 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 16: a lot of people are criticizing him. He's been horrible, horrible. 1096 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 16: But you know what, I love this because this should 1097 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,600 Speaker 16: be on hard knocks. It shouldn't be the Giants, it 1098 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 16: should be the Jets. I'm really loving all this drama 1099 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 16: because when it comes to the regular season, he's going 1100 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 16: to gear up, he's going to plan training caps, and 1101 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 16: I see the Jets going to the playoffs and Aaron 1102 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 16: Rodgers doing a good, good season. 1103 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 9: So that's my take. 1104 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 2: O great, all right, poppy, fair enough, and we're going 1105 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 2: to know soon enough.

Bryce in Texas, 1109 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:53,080 Speaker 2: you're up next your thoughts tonight. 1110 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 7: Oh I am so glad. 1111 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 18: I'm so close to getting a hole pizza delivery guy 1112 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 18: that uh deliver the pizza to Michael Jordan's's hotel to 1113 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 18: give them the Flue game. And I'm sending them stay 1114 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 18: over to Aaron Rodgers. I can't wait as a brown 1115 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:14,120 Speaker 18: less and less competition. 1116 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 2: So you're looking for, you're looking forward to to, You're 1117 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 2: looking forward to the just the face plant this year? Right? Basically, yeah, 1118 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 2: could they possibly surprise you Bryce and do well and 1119 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 2: get to the playoffs? 1120 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 3: Maybe? 1121 01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:31,640 Speaker 18: Or I mean I guess I would be a surprise, 1122 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 18: but not a surprise. I want. 1123 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 2: I love that you're rooting against him, because this makes 1124 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 2: our point. If this is the way the world works, 1125 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 2: the opposite of love is not Hated's a difference. Quickly 1126 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 2: on the Olympic boxing match. You have any thoughts on that, Yeah. 1127 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 18: Whether she's whether this person's actually a nail or it's 1128 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 18: a genetic thing. I think this is really good conversation 1129 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 18: to have because it's going to happen in the future 1130 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:55,880 Speaker 18: if not now. 1131 01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 11: And what's confusing me all week is we get. 1132 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 18: Mad at Harris Butcher or saying what he said on stage, 1133 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 18: and that's sending women's rights back in quality back fifty 1134 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 18: years or so. But then when you allow this, it's 1135 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 18: literally sending women's rights the ability to compete at a 1136 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 18: fair level way back. And I don't know how you 1137 01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 18: justify that in your head moving forward. If you're going 1138 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 18: to allow people who are just naturally more dominant because 1139 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,440 Speaker 18: of the chromosodes they were born with to compete against 1140 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 18: women who don't have that same advange. 1141 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot for checking in tonight.

You're a thoughtful guy. 1182 01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 2: You are, and you usually find angles that a lot 1183 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,600 Speaker 2: of other people don't. The one thing that I'm happy 1184 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 2: for tonight, no hate speech, no hating. These people are 1185 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 2: human beings, whether you like them or not. Okay, they 1186 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 2: are God breathed life into them. They are human beings, 1187 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 2: and so we are not attacking anybody personally. This is 1188 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,959 Speaker 2: being reported as an international event. Okay, you can't ignore. 1189 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 2: So let's go to the people. What do they think. 1190 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 2: You're right, it's a highly charged situation. But when you 1191 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:10,320 Speaker 2: saw it, what was the knee jerk reaction you had? 1192 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,440 Speaker 19: Well, my knee jerk reaction would be that you're gonna 1193 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 19: have to almost do male, female and then other, you know, 1194 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 19: I mean, because how do you make everything fair? I 1195 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 19: really don't think there is a way unless you do 1196 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 19: like male, female and other. And I know that's going 1197 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 19: to be a touchy subject because, like you said, they 1198 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,960 Speaker 19: are human beings. We're all human beings, and that kind 1199 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 19: of preference is something that's new, so it's a tough thing. 1200 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 19: But yeah, I think that they need to let women 1201 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,760 Speaker 19: compete with women, and men with men and men a 1202 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 19: if they want to have a third category, then let 1203 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 19: the people that are transgender have their own I think 1204 01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 19: I don't know, man Like, it's a tough one man, 1205 01:04:59,280 --> 01:04:59,920 Speaker 19: all right, fair. 1206 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 11: Enough, I just want to be respectful. 1207 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 2: No, that's good. I'm glad and you kind of summarized it. 1208 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 2: There's no there's no conclusive, conclusive answer here. From where 1209 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 2: you sit is where you stand. How about the New 1210 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 2: York Jets and the uh the uh you know, the 1211 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers saga. 1212 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 19: Well, look, man, I was a big Aaron Rodgerson. Green 1213 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 19: Bay used to be my second team, and then he 1214 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 19: started acting in ass you know, and uh from Egypt 1215 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 19: to the crap last year of you know, acting like 1216 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,479 Speaker 19: he was going to come back when everybody knew he wasn't. 1217 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 11: I'm just tired of the whole act. 1218 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 19: To be honest. I mean, he's a he's a great, 1219 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 19: but I don't know that he's as great as he 1220 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 19: thinks he is in his own mind. He's no Brett Barb. 1221 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 19: I'll just leave it at that. Keep it real, Bernie, 1222 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 19: love the show and talk to you next week, baby. 1223 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 2: Okay, man, Well appreciate you, buddy always.

I am 1232 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,040 Speaker 20: a transgender woman. Again, don't let the voice fool you. 1233 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 20: Like the other caller, I just haven't voice trained. But 1234 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 20: there's a couple of things that I want to touch 1235 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,520 Speaker 20: on that I haven't really heard anybody talk about. In 1236 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,320 Speaker 20: my apologies if you mentioned this, I haven't been listening 1237 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 20: the whole time. But a Moni Khalif, her record is 1238 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 20: fought fifty one total times and she's lost nine times. 1239 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 2: That's right, That's exactly right. I was going to get 1240 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 2: to that she has lost nine bouts against other female fighters. 1241 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,520 Speaker 2: Thanks for reminding the folks of that. 1242 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,920 Speaker 3: Go ahead, and with. 1243 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,480 Speaker 20: That, there's a lot a lot of this whole controversy 1244 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 20: is fueled by bigotry and ignorance, which I've experienced a 1245 01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 20: lot of that firsthand, just in my life and with 1246 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 20: my friends and around a lot of different people. But 1247 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 20: she has lost nine times to other women, which a 1248 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,120 Speaker 20: lot of people want to say it's not fair that 1249 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 20: she's fighting against other women. But she doesn't have this 1250 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 20: enormous physical advantage towards she's dominating every fight she's been in, right, 1251 01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 20: So a lot of this is Karni being a sore 1252 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 20: loser and wanting to have an issue out of this. 1253 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 20: And also in Algeria, where Amani Calif is from, LGBT 1254 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 20: rights are very, very non progressive. It is actually illegal 1255 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 20: to be gay or to even transition. So not that 1256 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 20: not a trans woman. She was born a woman. She 1257 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 20: has a genetic condition that has her with an extra chromosome. 1258 01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 20: But even if she happened to be she literally could 1259 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,000 Speaker 20: not be trans because it is a is a crime 1260 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 20: punishable by death in her home country. So I don't 1261 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:05,920 Speaker 20: think anybody's mentioned that yet, but that's a pretty big point, 1262 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 20: is that her literal home country would not allow her 1263 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,520 Speaker 20: to be living if she was what people are trying 1264 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 20: to claim she has. 1265 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,720 Speaker 2: All right, very broad based call. Appreciate your perspectives a lot. 1266 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 2: Do you care to weigh in on the New York 1267 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,800 Speaker 2: Jets and Aaron Rodgers? Yeah? 1268 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 12: I do. 1269 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 20: So it's kind of complicated in that I was originally 1270 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 20: a big fan of Aaron Rodgers and then like the 1271 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 20: last callers that he's kind of gone off the deep 1272 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,519 Speaker 20: end in the last few years. So on one hand, 1273 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,080 Speaker 20: I want to see the Jets succeed because they've been 1274 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,640 Speaker 20: long suffering and it's kind of a running They're just 1275 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 20: a running joke, and I always like to root for 1276 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:50,880 Speaker 20: the underdog story and the stories that are interesting. I 1277 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 20: have the feeling that if Rogers stays healthy, they're going 1278 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 20: to finish like nine to eight. Probably not as good 1279 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,720 Speaker 20: as they want to be, but I do think they 1280 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,559 Speaker 20: have a chance at making a run if they get 1281 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 20: to that point. 1282 01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 2: If he says healthy appreciate the call to night, and 1283 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,600 Speaker 2: I think the takeaway there is that this would be 1284 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 2: a better story if Rogers wins, but sometimes he makes 1285 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 2: it hard for people to root for him. Let's get 1286 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 2: one more in here, more from Idaho. You're up next. 1287 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 11: Hey Bernie, thanks for taking my call. 1288 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 2: You bet. 1289 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 11: Here's the perspectives that I have on the trends. I 1290 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 11: can't Let's just say, you have a really good college 1291 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:32,839 Speaker 11: basketball player but not quite good enough to like flavor 1292 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:37,240 Speaker 11: enc State, so he trans plays for a women's team, 1293 01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 11: or you have an NBA player washing out after about 1294 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 11: ten years. He plays in the w NBA and I mean, 1295 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 11: they're going to be awfully good in the w NBA 1296 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,439 Speaker 11: or in women's basketball. I think that answers a lot 1297 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 11: of questions there. I think it's real difficult for the 1298 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 11: people that are trans I'm listening tonight and listening to 1299 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 11: their perspectives. I don't know what the answer is for them. 1300 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,679 Speaker 11: A couple of callers back said men women another Maybe 1301 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,799 Speaker 11: maybe that's it. I don't know. Golf would be another 1302 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 11: sport or in the shot, but if you had a 1303 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,519 Speaker 11: man trans to a woman, they'd probably dominate that sport. 1304 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 2: Any thought. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets my man seven wins. 1305 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 11: I used to really like Aaron Rodgers. 1306 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 8: And. 1307 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:32,559 Speaker 2: So you think the Jets will only win seven games 1308 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 2: even if Rogers is healthy all year. 1309 01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,080 Speaker 8: Well, they want time to think he won't. 1310 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 11: I don't think he's going to be healthy all year. 1311 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair. That's that's really the elephant in 1312 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 2: the room here. We'll appreciate your call. Don't be a stranger. 1313 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 2: Every Friday night, midnight Pacific time, that's where I said, 1314 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,120 Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's maybe you're two hours ahead of some Idaho. 1315 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 2: We want to hear from the callers I'm standing callers tonight, 1316 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 2: able to have a conversation and above board without any 1317 01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 2: personal diet tribes or at hominem attacks. That's not what 1318 01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,920 Speaker 2: this is about. This is an international sports story. The 1319 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 2: Paris Olympics have been spectacular. Fred Hank Tight, Fred from Nebraska, 1320 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,559 Speaker 2: you will be up next. I'm Bernie Fraddach. We're coming 1321 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 2: to your line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio 1322 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 2: Tirack dot Com studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to 1323 01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:23,559 Speaker 2: the Bernie Fratters Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, 1324 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 2: back on the Bernie Fratter Show, we continue with our 1325 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 2: topics of the midnight hours. We wrap it up the 1326 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 2: Olympic Boxing Mansion, the New York Jets. Andy from Minnesota, 1327 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 2: You're up next. Andy is gone. Fred from Nebraska, how 1328 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 2: are you? 1329 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 9: Yeah? I tweeted also I didn't like what I saw, 1330 01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,120 Speaker 9: but I was kind of question how did these two 1331 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,680 Speaker 9: people get into the Olympics. Didn't they have to go 1332 01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,800 Speaker 9: through qualifiers in their country? Yes they did. Yeah, it's 1333 01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,640 Speaker 9: just amazing. Nobody's say anything then, but we have the Olympics, 1334 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 9: the Paralympics, the Olympics. I guess now we need to 1335 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 9: have the trans Olympics. But and I was also wondering. 1336 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,880 Speaker 9: I wonder if, like Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson said, Hey, 1337 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:09,680 Speaker 9: I'm female, I'm going to go to the Olympics and 1338 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 9: beat up some people. You know, that's okay too. But 1339 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 9: as far as Aaron Rodgers, what I hear is I 1340 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,479 Speaker 9: hear a lot of people saying things that they're laying 1341 01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 9: the groundwork for blame for when their season goes south. 1342 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,519 Speaker 2: That's an excellent point, but I try to intimate that 1343 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 2: you might have done a better job than I did, Fred, 1344 01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 2: that if this starts to go south, they're going to 1345 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 2: point to these early diatracts. 1346 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 9: Go ahead, Yeah, that's all I had. I think they're going. 1347 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:39,960 Speaker 2: I didn't mean to cut you off. You did you 1348 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 2: have anything else you want to add to that? 1349 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 9: I think they'll finished nine and seven. You know. I 1350 01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 9: see a transformation and a bunch of the different teams that, uh, 1351 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 9: some people aren't seeing. Buffalo is one of them, and 1352 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 9: that's who the Jets have to play twice. But a 1353 01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,040 Speaker 9: lot of teams are turning into like Kansas City, or 1354 01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 9: they're not having high price wide receivers and high price 1355 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 9: running becks. 1356 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,120 Speaker 2: Sure they got a rare culture between Andy Reid and 1357 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes that no one's going to replicate. 1358 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 9: Xme wise. Yeah, but there's a handful of teams that 1359 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,599 Speaker 9: are following the same blueprint. As far as who they're signing. 1360 01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 9: We'll see. 1361 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,479 Speaker 2: I'll stake out all right, Fred, appreciate your call. I 1362 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,599 Speaker 2: know you've called before on the midnight hour. Don't don't, 1363 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 2: don't be a stranger, and look a good thing about 1364 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 2: the night. Class never goes out of style. Respect never 1365 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 2: goes out of style. Like we said with Manuel, we're 1366 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,519 Speaker 2: dealing with human beings here. We get six billion people 1367 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 2: on the planet. I don't know why people do what 1368 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 2: they do in all walks of life or whatever they do, 1369 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,400 Speaker 2: but we're not here to judge that. We're here to 1370 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 2: kind of react to it and just sort of have 1371 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,760 Speaker 2: a round table discussion. You know, if three people see 1372 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 2: a car accident, they're going to describe it differently. We're 1373 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,799 Speaker 2: all going to have different perspectives and they're all welcome. 1374 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 2: The thing I'm happy to see is that, like I said, 1375 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,200 Speaker 2: class never goes out of style, respect never goes out 1376 01:13:55,200 --> 01:14:01,959 Speaker 2: of style. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Dave from Phoenix, 1377 01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,000 Speaker 2: is this the day from my old haunt in Michigan. 1378 01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't good, Bud. 1379 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,480 Speaker 3: So I've played a lot of high level co ed softball. 1380 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,519 Speaker 3: I certainly understand the difference in strength and speed between 1381 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 3: men and women, but this particular case isn't as simple 1382 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,600 Speaker 3: because you have a person who was born female and 1383 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 3: has not transitioned. So I don't quite know what to 1384 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 3: make of that. And as one of your other callers said, 1385 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 3: she has lost a certain number of fights. 1386 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 11: I just think it's interesting. 1387 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 2: Well where here's where it gets confusing, Dave. Why why then, 1388 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,280 Speaker 2: was she disqualified in March or twenty twenty three from 1389 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 2: the IBA by their testing standards. I don't have an answer. 1390 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,120 Speaker 2: I just know that that's what happened. 1391 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,639 Speaker 3: Evidently the IBA has a different set of standards from 1392 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 3: the Olympics. 1393 01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 2: But well they do, they do. But I'm pretty yeah, 1394 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:00,559 Speaker 2: well go ahead, you yet, floor. 1395 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 3: I think it's interesting that people who have never liked 1396 01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 3: women's sports, who fought against Total nine, who have thought 1397 01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 3: that female athletes aren't feminine, are now suddenly so concerned 1398 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:19,320 Speaker 3: about women's sports, and yet they're not concerned about well, 1399 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,680 Speaker 3: let's say a biracial person being asked, when did you 1400 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,639 Speaker 3: turn black. Isn't that interesting? 1401 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 2: Look, We're not going to solve the world promps tonight. 1402 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,559 Speaker 2: What we are trying to do is get the broad 1403 01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 2: based perspectives from around the globe, literally from enlightened people, 1404 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 2: so all points are duly noted tonight. We are not 1405 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,680 Speaker 2: going to solve the world's problems real quickly, New York. 1406 01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,559 Speaker 2: We're we're not going to solve the Jets problems either. 1407 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 2: You have any thoughts on that. I got to move 1408 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 2: along here, big fellow. 1409 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 3: So Aaron Rodgers was great in Green Bay, despite one 1410 01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 3: of your callers saying, no, it was his teammates, Queen. 1411 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 3: The guys won multiple MVP awards, so I can't take 1412 01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 3: that away from them. 1413 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 2: Question one of the big Game that calling wasn't really wrong? 1414 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,759 Speaker 3: He was, no, but but they did win one Super Bowl. 1415 01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:05,240 Speaker 2: They did. 1416 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,240 Speaker 3: They did, of course, But I don't know how much 1417 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 3: he has left. And I know the Jets are in 1418 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 3: a tough division. I don't think they're going to be 1419 01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,840 Speaker 3: a lousy team, but I'm guessing like nine and eight 1420 01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 3: or eight and nine somewhere in the middle. 1421 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 2: Interesting. If they're eight and nine, boy, the sky is 1422 01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 2: gonna fall. Dave appreciate it. Next time you call, we'll 1423 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 2: talk Michigan football a little bit. Okay, but all right, uh, 1424 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 2: this will probably be our last call. We have a 1425 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,080 Speaker 2: bit of a time crunch. I apologize. We don't like 1426 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,120 Speaker 2: shutting anybody out, but we got a great new feature 1427 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 2: coming up around one am Pacific time. We can always 1428 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,800 Speaker 2: use a kool breeze, you know, on the show. See 1429 01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,880 Speaker 2: what I did there? All right, Tyler from Phoenix, wrap 1430 01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 2: it up for us tonight. Your thoughts on both subjects. 1431 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,840 Speaker 21: Here's that, Bernie. All right, So I think on the 1432 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 21: boxing thing, it's really complicated. If it's a trans person, 1433 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 21: I think that that's wholly unfair, and it's it's disrespectful 1434 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,719 Speaker 21: to women's sports because you don't have women that trans 1435 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 21: The men compete trying to compete against men. However, if 1436 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,679 Speaker 21: somebody is genetically born like the story day, the person 1437 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 21: was genetically born a woman, but their genetics are just different. 1438 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,639 Speaker 21: You know, sports and competition are predicated on genetic advantage. 1439 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 21: If I tried to play Lebron James one on one 1440 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 21: in basketball, I'm a five to nine white guy. Lebron 1441 01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,640 Speaker 21: James has a genetic advantage over me is huge. You know, 1442 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,240 Speaker 21: even you look at the difference between him and his son. 1443 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 21: It's predicated on genetic advantage, so there should be an 1444 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,000 Speaker 21: avenue of competition for everybody. 1445 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,919 Speaker 2: Well, the one aspect of this that I don't believes 1446 01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 2: come up tonight, maybe break and correct me, is when 1447 01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 2: are we going to see a woman transition into a 1448 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,720 Speaker 2: man or maybe a woman is born as a man 1449 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 2: and then get on the field against men. I don't 1450 01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 2: recall seeing that. So if it's really neat to field, 1451 01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,600 Speaker 2: just a thought, don't lose your mind's feet feats so 1452 01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:57,759 Speaker 2: real quickly on the jets there, big fellow. 1453 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 12: I think it would be. 1454 01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,080 Speaker 21: More weird if there wasn't something weird around Aaron Rodgers. 1455 01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,720 Speaker 21: Somebody told me one time, once somebody shows you who 1456 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 21: they are, believed him. Aaron Rodgers has showed us enough 1457 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 21: times who he is. Did we stop believing him? Because 1458 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,760 Speaker 21: he could behave himself one time. People can pretend to 1459 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 21: be someone else for a little while, but they will 1460 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 21: always revert to who they are, and that's what he's done. 1461 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 21: It would be more weird if he didn't do something strange. 1462 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 2: Tyler, that is such a good call. All the calls 1463 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 2: were good, but man, way to wrap it up that is. 1464 01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 2: I know we all it's against a it's against a 1465 01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,560 Speaker 2: lot of practice psychology without a license, even though I 1466 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:39,240 Speaker 2: typically do it on the show ball once a week. 1467 01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:44,240 Speaker 2: But you think about what Tyler said pretty heady there, 1468 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,760 Speaker 2: because when Aaron Rodgers was in high school, he had 1469 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,600 Speaker 2: no scholarship offers, his coach didn't believe in him. He 1470 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 2: had to go to Butte Junior College, then had one 1471 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:55,560 Speaker 2: shot of cal Then he stuck behind Brett fav and 1472 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 2: didn't get a lot of respect. So I don't think 1473 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 2: he ever has lost that chip on his shoulder when 1474 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,320 Speaker 2: he always believed he had to do three times as 1475 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 2: much to get half as much respect. And even at 1476 01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,680 Speaker 2: forty years old. Look, things happen to human beings in 1477 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 2: their lives early on. They don't leave you. And he's 1478 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 2: acting out a little bit. He always kind of has. 1479 01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,719 Speaker 2: When we had success in Green Bay and followed Brett Favre, 1480 01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 2: it got shadowed outstanding calls to everybody. If you took 1481 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 2: the time to call in wait on hold, we greatly 1482 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 2: appreciate your thoughts tonight.

Is this an idea 1520 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:28,599 Speaker 2: whose time has come? Or just more robotics. I know, 1521 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,240 Speaker 2: as you root for your favorite team, you've seen maybe 1522 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 2: a bad spot. You thought that was a first down, 1523 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,960 Speaker 2: or you thought the other team didn't get a first down. 1524 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 2: And by the naked eye, these chain gangs, they run 1525 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,240 Speaker 2: them out there and they measure while everybody waits with 1526 01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,600 Speaker 2: baited breath. Well, for a long time, a lot of 1527 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 2: football fans believe they deserved a better way to measure 1528 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 2: a close call on first downs. And now the NFL 1529 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 2: is trying something out. According to the AP, during the 1530 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 2: upcoming preseason, which has already started, the league is gonna 1531 01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:04,760 Speaker 2: take that's what's called the Sony Hawkeye technology. If it works, 1532 01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,640 Speaker 2: it's going to replace the chain crew, and that's going 1533 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 2: to be used to measure whether or not an offense, well, 1534 01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,640 Speaker 2: whether or not they've successfully converted a first down or not. 1535 01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 2: I've heard announcers say it many times, this is so archaic. 1536 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 2: We're really lying relying on, you know, visualization, and if 1537 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 2: there's snow on the field, or the fields chopped up, 1538 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 2: or the spot of the ball is many times an 1539 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 2: educated guess. So they're in the installation phase for all 1540 01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 2: the stadiums and they're getting this stuff calibrated. And by 1541 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 2: the way, you know Hawkeye tracking innovation, which has been 1542 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:46,120 Speaker 2: created by Sony. They've officially become, I believe, a technology 1543 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 2: partner of the NFL. So I don't think they're ready 1544 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:53,720 Speaker 2: for full implementation certainly, and they may not be for 1545 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 2: a while. But as it pertains to players, officials, the 1546 01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 2: football itself. The backing service, Well, it's gonna add cameras, 1547 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,960 Speaker 2: it's gonna notify referees. Remember we talked about the strike 1548 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 2: zone with the robot umpire. This system will notify referees 1549 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,800 Speaker 2: if this was a first down or not. So apparently, 1550 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 2: you know if you like seeing the chain crew on 1551 01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,760 Speaker 2: the on the sideline. Reportedly, they're still going to remain 1552 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 2: on the sideline as a backup plan, but you know 1553 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,040 Speaker 2: they're they're they're copying the United Football League, which currently 1554 01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 2: implements what they call true True, True line technology for 1555 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 2: the same thing. So Kevin figures is just an idea 1556 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 2: whose time has come or you have other thoughts. 1557 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:36,479 Speaker 1: No, I mean, look, the time has come up. 1558 01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,160 Speaker 10: The technology is there, and we can find a way 1559 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 10: to eliminate any sort of human error when it comes 1560 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 10: to certain situations like this, and you don't necessarily get 1561 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 10: it in situations like that. I kind of equated though 1562 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 10: to the automated strike zone in baseball, and there's still 1563 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,240 Speaker 10: some kings to work out there. But if there's a 1564 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 10: technology available that will lessen the the the issues that 1565 01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,080 Speaker 10: you would have with human error, then I'm all for it. 1566 01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:01,280 Speaker 10: So if there's still things to work through, and you're 1567 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 10: still gonna have a human crew that can override issue 1568 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 10: if there are issues. I see no reason why we 1569 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,640 Speaker 10: shouldn't go to this system. 1570 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,439 Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna do it here in the preseason. Yeah, 1571 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 2: And the key to me will not be whether or 1572 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 2: not the technology in and of itself is an improvement 1573 01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 2: over human error, but how they implement it. It's like 1574 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:23,599 Speaker 2: for me, Kevin, instant replay, it's starting to it's almost 1575 01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 2: to be played because it ruins the EBB and flow 1576 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 2: of the game. But that's just me. And so you know, 1577 01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 2: here's really the question. Will believe the accuracy, but is 1578 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:33,880 Speaker 2: there going to be a four minute wait while they 1579 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,160 Speaker 2: decide whether the computer tells us it's yes or no. 1580 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:38,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so. 1581 01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,639 Speaker 10: I will think it'd be instantaneous, And like I mean, 1582 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,080 Speaker 10: usually the technology and again you're testing it out here, 1583 01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 10: so whatever issues you have, you're gonna have probably a 1584 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 10: good year or two in the preseason to figure it 1585 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,840 Speaker 10: out before we implement it in the regular season. So 1586 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,920 Speaker 10: I would think those sorts of issues may pop up 1587 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,040 Speaker 10: in the preseason, and preseason games are long and clunky anyway, 1588 01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 10: So what difference than to be honest with you, if 1589 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:00,640 Speaker 10: we're going to be frank, how many people are going 1590 01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,200 Speaker 10: to sit through an entire, you know, four far broadcast 1591 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,960 Speaker 10: of a preseason game, regardless, you're probably tuning out after 1592 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 10: the first half of all the players you've heard of 1593 01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:10,439 Speaker 10: have already played. So I don't really think it's going 1594 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,559 Speaker 10: to be that big of an issue once to actually 1595 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 10: implement it and ready for prime time. 1596 01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:18,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully they will. And I don't think we're not 1597 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 2: going to see it. Just to clarify, we are not 1598 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,720 Speaker 2: going to see it during the regular season this year 1599 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 2: at all. We're going to see it during the preseason. 1600 01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 2: And I from people I've talked to you, I don't 1601 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 2: even think you'll see it in twenty twenty five. However, 1602 01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 2: I think it's something they'd like to go to for 1603 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,600 Speaker 2: obvious reasons. Bree, you're a football fan. Your thoughts on 1604 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:40,200 Speaker 2: this whole deal? 1605 01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:41,839 Speaker 22: Yeah, I think it's going to be interesting. 1606 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:43,719 Speaker 23: I think they're trying to kind of make it as 1607 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,000 Speaker 23: a short amount of time as possible. I think I 1608 01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:50,639 Speaker 23: was reading like forty seconds or yeah, to make sure 1609 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 23: that they get it right, which I think is kind 1610 01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,480 Speaker 23: of funny because I mean, we all know how machines 1611 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,680 Speaker 23: and technology works. I mean, you can be everything can 1612 01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:01,360 Speaker 23: be low dow and then it's going to go through 1613 01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:03,719 Speaker 23: an update and then you know, then it's like, okay, 1614 01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:05,759 Speaker 23: well we have to get the chain gag out here anyway, 1615 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,840 Speaker 23: because you know, this machine's going through an update. 1616 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,960 Speaker 1: So I don't know, that's just that's how. 1617 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 22: I'm kind of thinking. I'm like, okay, great, like that's 1618 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 22: that's it's buffering. Yeah, well, you know what if it 1619 01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,600 Speaker 22: starts raining really hard, or a piece of hail like 1620 01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 22: you know, smacks the camera or you know something, and 1621 01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 22: then I don't know, you know, so I think it'll 1622 01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 22: be for at least for me. I'll believe it when 1623 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 22: I see it, and I'll think it's a good idea 1624 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 22: when it, you know, actually makes an impact in it. 1625 01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,639 Speaker 22: That's a swipe right, yes, So anyways, but that's yeah, 1626 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:37,800 Speaker 22: so so we'll see. 1627 01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:42,559 Speaker 2: So we'll see, Well, the games evolve, technology evolves, and look, 1628 01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 2: the NFL has come a long way in terms of 1629 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,639 Speaker 2: trying to get these things right, and this is another 1630 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,720 Speaker 2: one of them. I know. And Mark, we'll get to 1631 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 2: you in a second. To this day, almost ten years later, 1632 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 2: Michigan fans covetch about what they thought was the bad 1633 01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 2: spot against Ohio State, and Michigan fans thought Ohio State 1634 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,000 Speaker 2: did not get the first down, their defense held them 1635 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,599 Speaker 2: And it's very debatable whether that was a good spot 1636 01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,000 Speaker 2: or not. And I tell you to this day, Michigan 1637 01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,600 Speaker 2: fans are pissed because hard ball started out zero to 1638 01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:14,599 Speaker 2: five against Ohio State and if that spot had gone 1639 01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 2: their way, to presume Michigan would have beatn No House 1640 01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 2: State in year two. However, they do neatly ignore that 1641 01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,840 Speaker 2: Michigan blew a ten point lead in the fourth quarter. 1642 01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 2: So if you don't, you know, want to worry about 1643 01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,559 Speaker 2: a spot trying you know, here's a little advice from 1644 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 2: your uncle Bernie. Don't blow a ten point lead in 1645 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,759 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. But I digress, all right, Mark Ramsey, 1646 01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 2: you're a true blue Bears fan. You know you'd hate 1647 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,680 Speaker 2: to see a bad spot prevent the Bears to go 1648 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. So your thoughts on. 1649 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:47,519 Speaker 24: This, I think the slight missing the anticipation of lining 1650 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 24: up the chain gang to come out. That's the first 1651 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,400 Speaker 24: part about, you know, seeing them run onto the field. 1652 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:58,120 Speaker 24: If this situation takes any longer than your example of 1653 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,759 Speaker 24: just trying to explain to us what it's going to happen. 1654 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,719 Speaker 24: It doesn't sound like it's going to be great because 1655 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 24: I don't understand how they're going to make it any 1656 01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:11,000 Speaker 24: quicker than running from the sideline to the field. To 1657 01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,560 Speaker 24: make the point, I don't see how the technology is 1658 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,720 Speaker 24: going to work any better than what's already going on. 1659 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,120 Speaker 2: Well, I think there's gonna be diagrams with cameras, and 1660 01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,840 Speaker 2: they'll be lines that you can't see, and they'll be measurements, 1661 01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:23,960 Speaker 2: almost like an electric eye type of thing. 1662 01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 24: Maybe they'll have a little logo that comes up like 1663 01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 24: an eagle eye, and then they'll you know, you'll see it. 1664 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,160 Speaker 2: I don't know, something like that. These are the kings 1665 01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:33,880 Speaker 2: that gotta work out. I mean, it's one thing conceptually 1666 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:38,680 Speaker 2: to have this thought that you can now you know what. 1667 01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 2: It has typically been regarded as an archaic system going 1668 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,800 Speaker 2: back one hundred years, with men on a sideline guessing 1669 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,680 Speaker 2: where the spot of the ball was, because it is 1670 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 2: it's an educated guess. I get it. The game's played 1671 01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:52,240 Speaker 2: at high speed, and if the referee spots it in 1672 01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:53,720 Speaker 2: the wrong spot in the first place, the whole thing 1673 01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,960 Speaker 2: goes out the window. But it's not just the concept 1674 01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 2: of creating technology to try to strive towards perfection. As 1675 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,800 Speaker 2: it comes to officiating, it's the feature functionality. This is 1676 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 2: then entertainment medium. I hate when they take forever the 1677 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 2: delays when it when you know, when it comes to 1678 01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:14,479 Speaker 2: the instant replaying football, I know you want to get 1679 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 2: it right. The first year they did instant replay, they 1680 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,639 Speaker 2: gauged it that the referees were already getting it right 1681 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,360 Speaker 2: eighty three percent of the time, and that feels like 1682 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,400 Speaker 2: a lot, but there's margin of error there as well. 1683 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 2: The problem is when you start to look at a 1684 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:32,080 Speaker 2: play from multiple angles in slow motion, oftentimes it adds 1685 01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 2: to the confusion, and it adds to the perspective and 1686 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 2: you can often change your mind. You don't know, and 1687 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 2: then while you know, Rome burns and the players are 1688 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 2: standing around, you're waiting for a decision. In any way 1689 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,680 Speaker 2: you slice it, fifty percent of the people are going 1690 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:46,639 Speaker 2: to be pissed off, in fifty percent to be happy. 1691 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,760 Speaker 24: Is this Is this anything like uh and tennis when 1692 01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 24: they try to figure out if the ball, Yeah, that's. 1693 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 2: I think it'd be very similar to that. That's an 1694 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:55,680 Speaker 2: excellent comparison. 1695 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,280 Speaker 24: Because that looks you know better than me. If they 1696 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 24: do that, that might help, because. 1697 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:02,000 Speaker 2: That's what they're going to be doing. 1698 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:02,280 Speaker 4: But that. 1699 01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:05,400 Speaker 1: Appears to be much quicker than. 1700 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,720 Speaker 2: But remember tennis is also much more cut and drive. 1701 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 2: You see the ball on its own there. But you 1702 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:15,679 Speaker 2: take a football, I got, you know, a squum where 1703 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:18,240 Speaker 2: guy's trying to gain one yard and he's reaching out 1704 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:20,160 Speaker 2: for the ball and there's twenty two bodies around it, 1705 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 2: and it's a muddy field and it's a great sky. Hey. Look, 1706 01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 2: their intentions are good, their intentions are pure. So we'll 1707 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,280 Speaker 2: see if it pans out. Coming out Chris Purfet's World 1708 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 2: of Soccer. But first, back to our guy, Kevin Figures 1709 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:35,960 Speaker 2: with the latest. 1710 01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:38,200 Speaker 10: All right, and Blake Snell of the Giants through his 1711 01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,439 Speaker 10: third no I should say, the third no hitter in 1712 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 10: Major League Baseball this season was actually the first no 1713 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:46,400 Speaker 10: hitter of his individual career, first complete game of Blake 1714 01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:51,520 Speaker 10: Snell's career, the Giants defeeding Cincinnati three and nothing, eleven strikeouts, 1715 01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,559 Speaker 10: three walks, one hundred and fourteen pitches for the eight 1716 01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:57,720 Speaker 10: year veteran. There his former team, the Padres, lost at 1717 01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,960 Speaker 10: home to Colorado five to two, with three home runs 1718 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,680 Speaker 10: and a six to five victory over at the Dodgers 1719 01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 10: Seattle four home runs and seven strong innings from Brian Wu, 1720 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 10: they dominated the Phillies ten to two. The Guardians won 1721 01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 10: their fifth in a row, defeating Baltimore eight to four. 1722 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,640 Speaker 10: Yankees in Baltimore tight atop the American League East. This 1723 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:19,280 Speaker 10: after New York failed to take advantage of Baltimore's loss. 1724 01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 10: They failed to Toronto eight to five Arizona Blue of 1725 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:23,960 Speaker 10: five run League, but did hold on to defeat the 1726 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 10: Pirates nine to eight. You had victories for the Mets, 1727 01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:29,559 Speaker 10: Royals and the Minnesota Twins in Paris. The third round 1728 01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,320 Speaker 10: of men's golf is underway, as are gold medal rounds 1729 01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 10: for tressage and rowing. Korea has won Golden shooting for 1730 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,559 Speaker 10: women's twenty five minute meter pistol. Upcoming events of note 1731 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:41,639 Speaker 10: include gold medal events and men's doubles in tennis, sailing 1732 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 10: in table tennis. I don't know if I did it. 1733 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:45,920 Speaker 10: Is there something more obscure that I missed there? Bernie, 1734 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:46,559 Speaker 10: Please let me know. 1735 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,599 Speaker 2: You gotta cover with my friend Wohll. How about men's 1736 01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,479 Speaker 2: Olympic basketball USA takes on Puerto Rico here in about 1737 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:55,759 Speaker 2: six hours and forty five minutes. 1738 01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:57,800 Speaker 10: Looking forward to that one. We'll see who doesn't play. 1739 01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:00,200 Speaker 10: How about that? That seems to be the headline that. 1740 01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:03,840 Speaker 2: Now, that's a good tease for my final segment tonight. 1741 01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,599 Speaker 2: I really loved what Kevin Durant said. You know, Chris Wack, 1742 01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 2: Chris Rock once said, you don't get a lot of 1743 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,760 Speaker 2: credit for doing what you're supposed to do. But I 1744 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:15,280 Speaker 2: want to give Steve Kerr a lot of credit for 1745 01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,920 Speaker 2: the way he's handling things. Just just my thoughts and 1746 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,439 Speaker 2: I'm with you, Kevin. Kevin Durant had some cool things 1747 01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 2: to say. We're gonna get to that. Coming up at first, Well, 1748 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:27,479 Speaker 2: the men's Olympic team soccer team, it's been that kind 1749 01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,240 Speaker 2: of year. It's been that kind of decade. We've been 1750 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 2: that kind of century. Tell me when we've had a 1751 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:35,160 Speaker 2: great men's soccer team lost to Morocco four to nothing, 1752 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:39,000 Speaker 2: that's like losing forty to nothing in football. But I digress. 1753 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 2: Coming up, Chris Pherfett's World of Soccer. 1754 01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:56,760 Speaker 25: The Greatest cools, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. 1755 01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:02,120 Speaker 5: It's all here and from the World of Soccer. 1756 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,000 Speaker 26: Well, Bernie, as we are learning in the world of soccer, 1757 01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:08,240 Speaker 26: you can indeed have too much of a good thing 1758 01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:09,560 Speaker 26: in the sport. 1759 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:11,160 Speaker 1: We will get to that in a second. 1760 01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:12,760 Speaker 26: First off, I want to give a little bit of 1761 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,960 Speaker 26: an update on the Olympics side, on the men's side. Here, 1762 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,080 Speaker 26: let's talk about what's been going on. Egypt is in 1763 01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,000 Speaker 26: the semi finals for the first time since nineteen sixty four, 1764 01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 26: going through on penalty kicks. Fantastic scenes there in Paris. 1765 01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,759 Speaker 26: But let's also talk about the US men's youth team 1766 01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,840 Speaker 26: at the Olympics. Again, the Olympics is an under twenty 1767 01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:38,360 Speaker 26: three event for men's soccer. It is allowed I think 1768 01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:42,760 Speaker 26: three or so overage slots, but most of the rest 1769 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 26: of the players have to be twenty three years or younger. 1770 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,280 Speaker 26: So it's a bit of a youth competition. And to 1771 01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:49,479 Speaker 26: be clear, most of these guys again did not play 1772 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:53,479 Speaker 26: in stuff like Copa America or in champion I mean, 1773 01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 26: excuse me, a Euros Championship here that went on over 1774 01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 26: the summer. It's a crowded calendar. The US men hadn't 1775 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,240 Speaker 26: really scored in the Olympics for years. 1776 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:06,000 Speaker 1: That can be measured in double digits. 1777 01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,360 Speaker 26: However, that and it looked like they were headed that 1778 01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:12,559 Speaker 26: way again after a rough start three to France in 1779 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:15,639 Speaker 26: their group stage, a very tough group stage, but then. 1780 01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:17,840 Speaker 1: The young Americans really turned on the floodgates. 1781 01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,519 Speaker 26: They scored four to one against New Zealand and victory 1782 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 26: and then a three nil victory over Guyana actually qualified 1783 01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:27,400 Speaker 26: them for the quarterfinals, which then turned the other way 1784 01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:31,320 Speaker 26: and they got blanked out by Morocco for nil. So 1785 01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:33,040 Speaker 26: it's a bit of a wake up call after what 1786 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:36,880 Speaker 26: looks like good vibes for the men's team here. America 1787 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,160 Speaker 26: has always leaned on its youth depth, so I'm not 1788 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,679 Speaker 26: going to chalk this up to nothing. It does bring 1789 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:46,920 Speaker 26: up some more questions than answers as the US looks 1790 01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 26: two years down the road to where they will host 1791 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,360 Speaker 26: a World Cup and have an automatic bid in there. 1792 01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:56,320 Speaker 26: And again, not every eligible player here was field in 1793 01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:59,719 Speaker 26: the Olympics. They played at COPA. But it's still true 1794 01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,439 Speaker 26: that the lashes of brilliance that has propelled the under 1795 01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 26: twenty three squad here just really fell apart, and the 1796 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,679 Speaker 26: US does rely on youth players, these guys who will 1797 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 26: then be two years older by the time the World 1798 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 26: Cup rolls around. They will be relied on depth, because 1799 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,600 Speaker 26: that's just kind of how the America rolls. But it 1800 01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:20,559 Speaker 26: is also a transfer windows summer, Bernie, it is the 1801 01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,840 Speaker 26: MLS season. Lionel Messi wants an injured not in for 1802 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,040 Speaker 26: Inter Miami for the League's Cup. But I want to 1803 01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,559 Speaker 26: hit upon a conversation that actually got brought up by 1804 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:33,600 Speaker 26: Robert Lewandowski, the Polish great for Barcelona, weighing in on 1805 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,479 Speaker 26: a month long and really much longer than that issue 1806 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,559 Speaker 26: that has been happening in the world of soccer, and 1807 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:44,799 Speaker 26: that Lewandowski claims he has concerns over that the soccer 1808 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:50,160 Speaker 26: calendar is simply too crowded, saying, quote, this season is 1809 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 26: going to be more tough than before because we have. 1810 01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 1: More games in the Champions League. There are more games 1811 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,759 Speaker 1: in the club, but also national team. We travel a lot. 1812 01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,439 Speaker 26: What he's referring to is what's been going on this 1813 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,240 Speaker 26: past But we have to wind back the clock a 1814 01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:06,960 Speaker 26: little bit because back in late July, European leagues and players' 1815 01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:10,160 Speaker 26: unions went to the European Commission, the Executive Army of 1816 01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,360 Speaker 26: the European Union, and a commercial court in Brussels, Way 1817 01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:16,920 Speaker 26: asking them to weigh in on FIFA congestion and alleged 1818 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:20,320 Speaker 26: breaches of competition law. Now there's been a lot going 1819 01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:22,519 Speaker 26: on back and forth on this legal thing, it goes 1820 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:25,639 Speaker 26: back several months, but the main gist of this is this, 1821 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 26: the sporting calendar for soccer has been quite simply, far 1822 01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:33,040 Speaker 26: too crammed. One of the stories we spoke about Bernie 1823 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,759 Speaker 26: is how we just had ten months of uninterrupted soccer 1824 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,479 Speaker 26: and that's really the tip of the iceberg. It's pretty dramatic. 1825 01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,559 Speaker 26: Now in these next couple of years, new competitions are 1826 01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:46,679 Speaker 26: coming along. FIFA's own attempt to revitalize the Club World 1827 01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:49,800 Speaker 26: Cup has brought it to a thirty two team format, 1828 01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:52,759 Speaker 26: adding once again more pressure that they've got that clubs 1829 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:55,440 Speaker 26: have to play that along with their domestic leagues Champions 1830 01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 26: League and the two different and one to two different 1831 01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:00,720 Speaker 26: cups that happen in these countries. That's not even to 1832 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 26: talk about the expanded format for the twenty twenty six 1833 01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 26: World Cup, which will be going. 1834 01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:06,840 Speaker 1: Through forty eight teams. 1835 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:10,080 Speaker 26: It's putting more and more pressure on players who are 1836 01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:14,200 Speaker 26: playing more and more months of uninterrupted soccer. And yes, 1837 01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,400 Speaker 26: part of this ask to the European Commission is also 1838 01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,519 Speaker 26: weighing in on what exactly went down with the Super 1839 01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:24,920 Speaker 26: League so Fifth Pro Europe, the player union for those 1840 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:29,080 Speaker 26: European players had really some harsh words for the world's organizer, 1841 01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,000 Speaker 26: and again this all comes down to the problem that 1842 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:35,000 Speaker 26: they say that FIFA doesn't really talk with clubs or 1843 01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 26: national leagues before just throwing stuff together. They say, quote regretfully, 1844 01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:43,240 Speaker 26: FIFA has consistently refused to include national leagues and player 1845 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:47,000 Speaker 26: unions in its decision making process. FIFA's decisions over the 1846 01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:50,839 Speaker 26: last years have repeatedly favored its own competitions and commercial interests, 1847 01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:54,040 Speaker 26: neglecting its responsibilities as a governing body, and harmed the 1848 01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 26: economic interests of national leagues and the welfare of players. 1849 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,600 Speaker 26: No complaints from me there, Bernie. The revitalization attempts on 1850 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,800 Speaker 26: the Club World Cup is nakedly jealousy on the part 1851 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:09,120 Speaker 26: of FIFA, who has seen the kind of money that UEFA, 1852 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:15,600 Speaker 26: the organizer for European sport, breaks in with their incredibly, 1853 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:21,000 Speaker 26: incredibly popular Champions League format. FIFA finally really bent the 1854 01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:24,080 Speaker 26: knee here on Thursday, and they've offered talks with global 1855 01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:26,280 Speaker 26: groups and those in Europe to try to end what 1856 01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 26: has become this three month deadlock and now threats of 1857 01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,920 Speaker 26: legal action, because nothing really gets FIFA off its ass 1858 01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,880 Speaker 26: and starting to move more than actually giving them consequences 1859 01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:40,040 Speaker 26: to their own actions. But to be clear, it's not 1860 01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:43,559 Speaker 26: just FIFA doing this. UEFA has also been trying to 1861 01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:47,160 Speaker 26: expand the Champions League. That Super League mess happened, and 1862 01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 26: there's still the burning embers of that and we'll see 1863 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,679 Speaker 26: if that comes back and threatens more competition on that horizon. 1864 01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,760 Speaker 26: And more importantly than that, friendlies in the summer in 1865 01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:01,360 Speaker 26: America and other places abroad have become massive, important moneymakers 1866 01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:04,719 Speaker 26: for European clubs, and the people who buy those tickets 1867 01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:07,559 Speaker 26: have an expectation to see the top stars of those 1868 01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:10,519 Speaker 26: clubs play. They don't care that it's a friendly, that 1869 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,400 Speaker 26: it's over in America, that it could be in Southeast Asia, 1870 01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:16,400 Speaker 26: which has become a growing market for the Premier League, 1871 01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,920 Speaker 26: just as it has been stateside. Those all add pressures 1872 01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:23,360 Speaker 26: as well on top of everything else that has been 1873 01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:27,679 Speaker 26: going on to make an exhaustive calendar, especially in these 1874 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:33,120 Speaker 26: even years where players are jumping between international team to 1875 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,840 Speaker 26: NASH to their domestic clubs, to those clubs having to 1876 01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:40,719 Speaker 26: play the domestic schedule, to playing Champions League or Europa League, 1877 01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:44,559 Speaker 26: to playing the League's Cup, to playing the FA Cup. 1878 01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,679 Speaker 1: Is speaking specifically of England. 1879 01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,360 Speaker 26: Of course, it's a lot, Bernie, it is a lot, 1880 01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:53,960 Speaker 26: and it is finally hitting an exhaustive point. We love 1881 01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:58,040 Speaker 26: soccer around the world, but quite frankly, this might be 1882 01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:00,960 Speaker 26: a little bit too much, and much like people have 1883 01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:04,719 Speaker 26: said sometimes with say baseball, you might need to crank 1884 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,519 Speaker 26: it back a little bit. The problem is the almighty dollar, 1885 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:11,479 Speaker 26: the almighty euro, the pound, whatever you have, is speaking 1886 01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,519 Speaker 26: right now and it is just forcing this down the 1887 01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,200 Speaker 26: gullets further and further and further, and FIFA and you 1888 01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,960 Speaker 26: waifier at loggerheads on who should be the one to 1889 01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 26: control these massive competitions and get all this money, and 1890 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,560 Speaker 26: ultimately what it's going to do is hurt the sport overall. 1891 01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:31,040 Speaker 26: Unless we find some sanity and realize that these are 1892 01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:34,120 Speaker 26: human beings playing the sport and they need an off 1893 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,160 Speaker 26: season as well. That's it for us in the world 1894 01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:39,960 Speaker 26: of soccer, Bernie. We'll see you next week again. It's 1895 01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:43,800 Speaker 26: transfer window season, plenty of trade rumors and transfer rumors 1896 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:44,639 Speaker 26: flying around. 1897 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,000 Speaker 1: It's exciting time here. We'll see you next week. 1898 01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:53,240 Speaker 2: There's an interesting irony to that commentary that the notion 1899 01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:58,560 Speaker 2: that soccer could be reaching a somewhat stage of saturation 1900 01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:04,240 Speaker 2: is interesting. We started this bit with Chris prior to 1901 01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:08,559 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving twenty twenty two because that was the Men's World 1902 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:11,120 Speaker 2: Cup and the USA played England and there was a 1903 01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:15,559 Speaker 2: huge build up to it, and you know, from there 1904 01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:18,920 Speaker 2: we've had the you know, Women's World Cup now now 1905 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,840 Speaker 2: the Olympics and Euros and all kinds of stuff. So 1906 01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:23,920 Speaker 2: it's one thing after another. And you had Messy signed 1907 01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:27,360 Speaker 2: with an American team, and the MLS just growing in popularity, 1908 01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:30,240 Speaker 2: so it's one thing after another, just constant news. So 1909 01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:34,759 Speaker 2: the irony though that before, you know, soccer in this country, 1910 01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:36,600 Speaker 2: we don't even call it soccer. Another country, you know, 1911 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:41,439 Speaker 2: they call it football. It's just one of those sports. 1912 01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 2: It falls under what I call the Canadian Football League 1913 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:45,880 Speaker 2: syndrome that if you don't know who's playing and you 1914 01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,880 Speaker 2: don't know the significance of the game, that's what Americans need. 1915 01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:52,360 Speaker 2: We need context and we don't have it, but we're 1916 01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:54,200 Speaker 2: starting to get more of it. So the irony is 1917 01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:58,240 Speaker 2: that Chris would even imply that perhaps soccer's reaching a 1918 01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 2: saturation point. And if that's the case, I don't know 1919 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,160 Speaker 2: that that's a bad thing. And US don't have to 1920 01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:05,800 Speaker 2: hire a new coach. And that is something that will 1921 01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,280 Speaker 2: that will be in the news. What it's also in 1922 01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:13,040 Speaker 2: the news is the US men's basketball team. Now they're 1923 01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,960 Speaker 2: seven zero, they'll be eight and o. They will, as 1924 01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:19,200 Speaker 2: Kevin would say, molliwap Puerto Rico about seven hours from now. 1925 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,599 Speaker 2: Trust me, they'll molliwah Puerto Rico. And they'll get into 1926 01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:25,519 Speaker 2: the quarterfinals. And I don't think anybody's beating them. Canada 1927 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,120 Speaker 2: give them a thrill. Maybe so will Germany. I don't know. 1928 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 2: You might it a little thrill up your leg for 1929 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,040 Speaker 2: three quarters. But no one's beating this team. They're too athletic, 1930 01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 2: they're too deep, they're two everything. And the irony is 1931 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,160 Speaker 2: is they're winning, but some people don't like the way 1932 01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:44,760 Speaker 2: they're winning. And and and you know, there was this 1933 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:48,439 Speaker 2: attempt at drama when Jason Tatum didn't get in the 1934 01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:51,400 Speaker 2: other day. I don't believe he complained, and there was 1935 01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:55,200 Speaker 2: more drama, you know, Joel Eller, Joel Embiid, and I've 1936 01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:58,200 Speaker 2: said many times before they're managing it. Well. I didn't 1937 01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:01,080 Speaker 2: say it. Chub Day told me that coaching an NBA 1938 01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:04,799 Speaker 2: team is like it's like managing an adult daycare center, 1939 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:07,160 Speaker 2: because they're growing men and they're paid and you've got 1940 01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:11,640 Speaker 2: to manage personalities and egos and win their respect. I 1941 01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,840 Speaker 2: think Steve Kerr has done a phenomenal job. They're going 1942 01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:17,400 Speaker 2: to finish the deal. They'll win, They'll beat Puerto Rico, 1943 01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 2: they'll win the final three games. We have Mark Mdina 1944 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:21,920 Speaker 2: on Saturday night to chop this up. So as a group, 1945 01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:23,680 Speaker 2: if that happens, which I believe it will, they will 1946 01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,000 Speaker 2: have gone eleven and oh, maybe they had a couple 1947 01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:27,680 Speaker 2: close calls, but they're eleven and oh and they're going 1948 01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:31,120 Speaker 2: to bring home another gold again. To quote Chris Rock, 1949 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:33,640 Speaker 2: you don't get a lot of credit for doing what 1950 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:38,080 Speaker 2: you're supposed to do well. Steve Kerr is doing that 1951 01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 2: and maybe not getting a lot of credit. But Kevin 1952 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,160 Speaker 2: Durant stuck up for him. And I really liked what 1953 01:43:44,240 --> 01:43:47,280 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant had to say because it brought us back 1954 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:49,519 Speaker 2: to reality and why they're here in the first place. 1955 01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,680 Speaker 2: We'll have all that coming up as we wrap up 1956 01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:55,200 Speaker 2: the show.

Bre our executive producer. Great job tonight 1970 01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:43,080 Speaker 2: taking all the calls in the midnight hour, and of 1971 01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 2: course her new segment, Breeze Three's, which we'll be doing 1972 01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:50,720 Speaker 2: every Friday night at heading into Saturday morning at one 1973 01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:54,920 Speaker 2: am Pacific for you pop culture entertainments fans and Kevin 1974 01:44:54,920 --> 01:45:00,040 Speaker 2: Figures capably handling all of our updates, including all the 1975 01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:05,559 Speaker 2: obscure Olympic sports like men's basketball. Yeah, see what I 1976 01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:08,160 Speaker 2: did there, speaking of that, And by the way, before 1977 01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:09,679 Speaker 2: we get to that. I want to say one thing. 1978 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,360 Speaker 2: I gave out a best bet last week Texans Bears. 1979 01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:17,439 Speaker 2: I liked the Bears catching two points. You saw what happen. 1980 01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:21,760 Speaker 2: The game was called in the third quartercas of rain. 1981 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:24,519 Speaker 2: So if you're holding a bet, it's graded no action 1982 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,080 Speaker 2: by ninety nine percent of the casinos. And the NFL 1983 01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 2: game's got to be fifty five minutes. There's a bit 1984 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:31,559 Speaker 2: of a bummer because there are a lot of good 1985 01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:33,960 Speaker 2: trends in the preseason. Whenever a team is laying two 1986 01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:37,519 Speaker 2: points or less, it's a tell of sorts because it's 1987 01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,479 Speaker 2: really meaning it's a pick them. And if that's the 1988 01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:44,000 Speaker 2: case the dogs, the dogs cover about seventy three percent 1989 01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:45,439 Speaker 2: of the time, and they went out right about sixty 1990 01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:47,439 Speaker 2: three percent of the time, which is exactly what the 1991 01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:50,400 Speaker 2: Bears did last night or Thursday night. But and by 1992 01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:52,800 Speaker 2: the way, Matt Eberflus, some coaches like to win more 1993 01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,559 Speaker 2: than others in preseason. We'll get into this on Saturday night. 1994 01:45:55,880 --> 01:45:58,599 Speaker 2: Eberflues is now five and one. If that game would 1995 01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:03,280 Speaker 2: have counted against in the preseason, So we'll get to 1996 01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,640 Speaker 2: that Saturday night. Lot's to cover on the show. We're 1997 01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:09,200 Speaker 2: going to dive heavily into the NFL Saturday night, and 1998 01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,479 Speaker 2: we'll have Bill Krackman Krackenberg around as well as Mark Madina. 1999 01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,400 Speaker 2: We'll talk about the USA Olympic team, all right, the 2000 01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,880 Speaker 2: third time tonight. Last time. I'll say Chris Rock once said, 2001 01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:21,400 Speaker 2: you don't get a lot of quote for credit for 2002 01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:25,080 Speaker 2: doing what you're supposed to do well. Steve Kerr has 2003 01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,799 Speaker 2: been handling the Olympic team brilliantly. I think his approach 2004 01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:31,080 Speaker 2: to the rotation is to give players strategic minutes. You 2005 01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,559 Speaker 2: bench certain players based on who he feels could be 2006 01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:36,280 Speaker 2: taken advantage of. And it's been a sound strategy. But 2007 01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:40,000 Speaker 2: he's getting criticized because who he's benching. But the approach 2008 01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,640 Speaker 2: is working and the team is getting better. And they 2009 01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,479 Speaker 2: won their first two games by forty points. And I 2010 01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:48,360 Speaker 2: get that Jason Tatum didn't play in the first game 2011 01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:52,200 Speaker 2: and Joel Embiid was benched in the second game, but 2012 01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,719 Speaker 2: give it up because Kevin Durant is a guy who 2013 01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:58,280 Speaker 2: has a way the all time leading scorer, men's leading 2014 01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:02,280 Speaker 2: scorer in Olympic basketball well has a way of bringing 2015 01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:07,439 Speaker 2: this back to earth. And I loved his perspective because 2016 01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:10,320 Speaker 2: people think it's ridiculous that a former MVP and a 2017 01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:13,720 Speaker 2: recent champion get bench in the Olympics. But Grant said, 2018 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,960 Speaker 2: quote last game, we had a champion and an NBA 2019 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:19,479 Speaker 2: All NBA guy not playing any minutes, and tonight we 2020 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:22,400 Speaker 2: had an MVP not play any minutes, but they didn't complain. 2021 01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:25,160 Speaker 2: We had guys who stepped up and fiel those roles perfectly. 2022 01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:29,400 Speaker 2: The idea is to win the game, herm Edwards. You 2023 01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:33,479 Speaker 2: play to win the game. And Kerr has capably said 2024 01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:35,560 Speaker 2: We're going to leave all the NBA drama back in 2025 01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:39,120 Speaker 2: the United States, and it's yet to be seen if 2026 01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:42,040 Speaker 2: Kerr continues this approach of benching certain players to avoid 2027 01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,840 Speaker 2: favorable matchups. And as Kevin said earlier, the thing we're 2028 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,320 Speaker 2: watching now is not who plays, but who doesn't play, 2029 01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:50,800 Speaker 2: because it is in fact the story. But I do 2030 01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:54,640 Speaker 2: think Kevin Durant brought it home ever so nicely. I 2031 01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:59,400 Speaker 2: expect the USA team to cruise against Puerto Rico later 2032 01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,960 Speaker 2: on the morning. It's gonna do it for the Bernie 2033 01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:05,880 Speaker 2: Frattle Show back on these airwaves Saturday night, eleven pm 2034 01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:08,479 Speaker 2: Pacific time. We got a lot of stuff to get to, 2035 01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:12,040 Speaker 2: including mil Tucker's lawsuit. You don't want to hear about that. Meantime, 2036 01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:16,639 Speaker 2: keep it locked up. Next The Fellas on Fox Sports Radio,
