20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball Trade deadline is Tuesday. We've got rumors,

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: we've got news, We've got things to tickle you. Of course,

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: speaking of tickling you, two am Pacific, five em Eastern,

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool are you? Followed by

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: what my name? The dance sensation sweep in the nation,

25
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: all that and much much more. But we begin in

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,279
Speaker 2: about nine hours what I believe will be the most

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: anti climactic basketball tournament since maybe a recent AAU tournament

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: in North Carolina will be the Olympics Men's basketball tournament.

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: I know they're trying to sell us on the fact

30
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: it's going to be the most competitive ever. I don't

31
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: know what that means. Someone will have to define that

32
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 2: for me. All tournaments are competitive. Even the ninety two

33
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: Olympics were competitive. It's just the dream Team killed everybody

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: a right because they were the dream team, not some

35
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: ersatz dream team, a real dream team. Now this version

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: of the Olympics team, look, they were five and zero.

37
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: I know they had the you know, shocker almost almost

38
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: loss against South Sudan. Give it up to suth Sudan.

39
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: But that's this version of the NBA. They don't play

40
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: team basketball. They play one on one basketball. Play it

41
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: out isole ball, two million ball, and then when it

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: matters most, you play little defense. And nobody in the

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: world look at this roster. Is as deep, is as physical,

44
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: is as talented, is as skillful, is as accomplished as

45
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: this roster. Are they a great team? Nol, But they're

46
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: a great collection of individual dudes that can went on

47
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: the international stage. Even though the game is eight minutes shorter.

48
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: They play with a funny looking ball and the you

49
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: know there's a premium on threes. We don't pass the

50
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: ball well the international teams do. This team hasn't been

51
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: together a long time. Some of the international teams have.

52
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: Is this team built to be really a team and

53
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: all the other international teams are It doesn't matter. The

54
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: US is better, They're deeper, they're more talented. Who can

55
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: beat them? Okay, what the hell, let's do the gratuitous

56
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: because we have to talk about what might happen. By

57
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: the way, you can still bet the USA team. This

58
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: is the best dodge you'll ever have. Their minus five hundred.

59
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: It's meets. You have to put it five dollars one

60
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: one hundred, which gives them about an eighty four chance

61
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: to win the tournament win the gold medal. All right,

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: I think they're undervalue, But look, there are twelve nations

63
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 2: competing for the gold. And here here's how the tournament works.

64
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Ever so quickly, they're divided into three groups of four

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: teams for the opening round. Now, each one of those

66
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: teams will play the other three in their group, and

67
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: the teams with the two best records in each group

68
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: will advance to the quarterfinals. So right out of the gate,

69
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: you got twelve teams in eight advance to the quarterfinals.

70
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: Ties will be broken by head to head competition and

71
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: point differential. Then the two best third place squads of

72
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: the three groups also advance. That's where a point differential.

73
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes it makes the biggest difference. So winning does matter,

74
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: but winning big can matter. It can matter if you

75
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: maybe lose a game and someone else in another bracket

76
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: loses a game and you're tied with them, then point

77
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: differential comes in. Do I think the USA will lose

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: a game?

79
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: No?

80
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: And I've told En, and I've told Breed, and I've

81
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: told the producers that work with me save all my sound.

82
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn Alik Crow if somebody beats

83
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: the US, I believe France beat the US in the

84
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: Olympics last time around, but the US still managed to

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: win the goal. Team USA is the big betting favorite.

86
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: They win the past four gold medals, seven of the

87
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: last eight. The players were allowed to compete in nineteen

88
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: ninety two. Two thousand and four was the debacle in Greece.

89
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: That's when we played a lot of one on one ball.

90
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 2: That was the Lebron's James team. They won the bronze.

91
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: I believe that year. But I think Grant Hill brought

92
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 2: the deepest twelve man club. They're not cohesive, not at all.

93
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: They're a team no. But look, man, you talk about talent.

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Halliburt and I mentioned him. They were

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: the only two to play in the World Cup last summer.

96
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: But Drew Holliday, bam At a bio, Devin Booker, Jason Tatum,

97
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: Lebron James, Steph Curry and if Kevin Durant, a guy

98
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of, can never get the hell out

99
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: of his wheelchair. He's the all time leading scorer in

100
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: NBA Men's US Men's Olympics team history. So who are

101
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: the top contenders. I'll just name three just because all right, Canada,

102
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: Canada's damn good. You have ten current NBA players on

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: their roster. They got a loaded backcourt. You got in

104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: the runner up of the MVP in the NBA, Shay

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: Gilgis and of course Jamal Murray He's won a championship,

106
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: plus a host of very good athletic wings who might

107
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: match up well and could beat the Americans. Will they

108
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: know you saw what happened here in Las Vegas. It

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: was the first game this team played together three weeks ago.

110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: They beat the Canadians by fourteen. And the Canadians are

111
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: good because what they are does the USA team do?

112
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: They play with their food, They mess around, and then

113
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: when it matters most, they locked down on d because

114
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: they are big and they are physical, and they are

115
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: the collection of the best running jump athletes in the world.

116
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: And that still supersedes teamworking skilled in feeble Olympics. It

117
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: still does at this point. You got Serbia, who, by

118
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: the way, nine hours from now, the USA will open

119
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: up against as a fourteen point favorite. Serbia has Nicola Jokicic,

120
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: three time MVP. He's the one guy team in USA

121
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: has to worry about. You still have I think Bogdanovich

122
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other guys that are good players

123
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: that you can't name and you can't spell, and you

124
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: can't look at it an I chart without one ring

125
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: infants that chander a guy's name. Serbia ain't beat in

126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: the US. Sorry. Now, by the way, Australia, they won

127
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: their first medal in Tokyo three years ago of bronze,

128
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: but this year's team doesn't have those same types of expectations.

129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: They were pretty impressive during the pre Olympic Games. They

130
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: lost to the US by six. Josh Giddy has established

131
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: himself as a centerpiece of the team. I think he

132
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: racks up. He's a type of guy they're gonna attack

133
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: the rim he distributes to ball. Will he got, Patty Mills,

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: Brian Gorgan, Lottie Dadi Da. All right, put another shrimp

135
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: on the barbie because they're gonna get barbecued. But they'll compete.

136
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: So Australia, Serbia, Canada ain't gonna be South Sudan. I mean, okay,

137
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: I'll throw France in there because they're the home They're

138
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: the home team. The Olympics are played in France. Maybe

139
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: that means something, all right. They took the silver in Tokyo,

140
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: but they have him been great in the last year.

141
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: You got Victor wimen Yama. Okay, so what you got

142
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert okay, Evan Fournier. Okay. They're not beating the US.

143
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: Do I really need to keep doing this? Okay, I'll

144
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: do one more. Germany they're a very experienced team. They're

145
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: a well built team. They can't beat the US. They

146
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: can compete. They might take the lead once in a while,

147
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 2: but they won't beat them. The Germans were impressive because

148
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: they won the World Cup last summer, and they've got

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: a you know, Dennis Shrewder, who's a solid NBA player.

150
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that i'd want to manage my finances.

151
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: You turned down an eighty four million dollars deal a

152
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: couple of years ago to end up signing an eight

153
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: million dollar deal. You have Franz Wagner, Moe Wagner, Daniel

154
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: Feis all right. And by the way, they have a

155
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: very good coach, Gordy Herbert, the guy I never heard

156
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: of his team. His game preparation is parks a lots.

157
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: They're not beating the US. Nobody's beating the US. Can

158
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: I just say that, let's watch the games, Let's have fun.

159
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: Grab your popcorn, your favorite beverage. Nine hours from now,

160
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: the fun starts USA Serbia at eleven fifteen am Eastern

161
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday. By the way, before that, uh no, check that,

162
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: check that you gotta slip to Tuesday. They got Spain

163
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: and in Greece, Canada, Australia, right on down the line, France, Germany, US.

164
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: So play again on Wednesday. All right? Have I made

165
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: my point? Nobody is gonna beat the US. I'm sticking

166
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: to that. It may get dicey because these guys don't

167
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: play hard all the time, and they sure as hell

168
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: don't play as a team. But watch them when they

169
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: need to play defense. Watch them rotates which communicate it.

170
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: Out of the perimeter, close out on the shooter, maul you,

171
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: mug you, triple team you. Whatever they need to do

172
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: when they decide they want to play defense, which is

173
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: a good two minutes per game, that's all they're gonna

174
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: need to do. They turn it on and turn it off.

175
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: That's what's gonna happen. Coming out a fan favorite on

179
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: lot of news coming out of Denver. There already is.

180
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: And you heard Dion last week in multiple interviews giving

181
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: lots of wonderful word salad answers about how we define

182
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: successor in Colorado. It's complicated. No, it's not either money

183
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: you don't. And by the way, I think Dian's a

184
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: good man, huge fan. He's brought a lot of great

185
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: attention to Colorado University the Buffalos. So we'll get Darren

206
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: be good at it because you've been over promising women

207
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: for years.

208
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240

Speaker 5: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

212
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,960

Speaker 2: am Pacific, six am Eastern, Just getting started. Just welcome

226
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: in a fan favorite gentlemen's been on my show many times.

227
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: Lights it up. You hear him from noon to three

228
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: in Denver on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two to five

229
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: Monday through Friday. Say hello to Darren McKee. Hi Darren,

230
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: how's your summer been there, buddy?

231
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 6: Bernie. We have the Broncos in training camps, and the

232
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 6: world's most boring NFL team is underway, and we love

233
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 6: to bring to Denver Broncos.

234
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to that, and we're gonna get to Dion,

235
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: two of my most important topics. But I have to

236
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: spend thirty seconds on something that rhymes with Russell Westbrook.

237
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: What were the Nuggets thinking.

238
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 6: Oh, they're excited. Most people here in Denver are excited.

239
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 6: They're no. This this actually checks.

240
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 7: A huge box.

241
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 6: It's not a negative here in Denver whatsoever.

242
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 7: Everybody's kind of plump.

243
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: It never starts out that way, and you know what,

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: I hope it works out. I think it'd be kind

245
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: of cool if somehow he ended up on a team

246
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: in the ring. But let's check in around March and

247
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: see if he's acted up just saying hey.

248
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 6: I'll say this.

249
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 7: Hey.

250
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 6: If it doesn't work out, they haven't plucked a lot

251
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 6: of money into it, and they'll just dump them at

252
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 6: the trade deadline. I'm telling you, not that big of

253
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 6: a deal. It's only it's six point eight millions. They

254
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 6: didn't have a backup point guard. Again, it checks the boxes,

255
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 6: and we're hoping there's a little edge like Bruce Brown

256
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 6: had a couple of years ago. So it's a positive here, Bernie,

257
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 6: it's a positive here.

258
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: Hope springs eternals. It always starts out that way. No

259
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: one has ever born a bad person anyway. Okay, let's

260
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: let's jump to the Colorado Buffaloes, because Neon had one

261
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: of his wonderful word salads a couple of weeks ago.

262
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: But I want to start with this, Darren. They are

263
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: two most important games of the season for my money,

264
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: are their first two four weeks. Thursday they played North

265
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: Dakota State, and they should be North Dakota State. North

266
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: Dakota State is down, but it's a real contrast and

267
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: styles with State's running game and their physicality. It's not

268
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: so much that Colorado has to win that game, but

269
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: it should set the tone for the season. Your thoughts

270
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: on heading into that game against North Dakota State in

271
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: the state of the program.

272
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 6: I think some people are pretty freaked out about that game,

273
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 6: and Dion kind of chastises, I mean, in a fun way,

274
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 6: is athletic director for scheduling such a tough FCS opponent.

275
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 6: But hey man, I'll take your word for it. I

276
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 6: don't know how the hell you got a scouting report

277
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 6: on North Dakota State. So that's awesome if you're telling.

278
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 7: Me they're down.

279
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I last time, they're like kind of legendary

280
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 6: on that level. So if they're down, hey man, we'll

281
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 6: take it. And then, of course, you know, as a

282
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 6: divide in the state with CU and CSU is a

283
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 6: big deal. You know, it's a big deal for us

284
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 6: in Colorado at these and that game is in Fort Collins.

285
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 6: It's not in Boulder, It's in Fort Collins this year,

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 6: so it becomes really a So it's a really interesting

287
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: start to see you.

288
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: Ever, so quickly. North Dakota State has been a giant

289
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: killer over the last many years. Oh, they went in

290
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: and beat Iowa and Iowa a few years ago, and

291
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: they've had the great quarterbacks over the years. They're down

292
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: relatively speaking, they don't have that type of team, but

293
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: they have that type of culture. So you're gonna get

294
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: an effort. You're going to get an effort. And if

295
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: they play a ball control field position team and they

296
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: can run the ball, it could be could be an

297
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: interesting day. But Week two, I also believe, is a

298
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: real test to where the Buffalos are going to stand

299
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: when they have to travel to Nebraska and depending on

300
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: whether or not they kill off a winner or lost

301
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: against North Dakota State. They haven't even ed their you know,

302
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: Big twelve schedule yet, They're gonna start with two critical games.

303
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: That's gonna set the tone. What's the reality of this

304
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: Colorado Buffalo's team this year?

305
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a great question, man. Everything Well, you got

306
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 6: two top ten picks in the NFL with Travis and Shador.

307
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 6: I think there's I think they're kind of slam dunk

308
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 6: top ten picks. And we had to figure out when

309
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 6: was the last time that happened, and it's been a minute,

310
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,239
Speaker 6: you know, it's been a while, but it doesn't guarantee

311
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 6: you anything, even if you've got those picks. I think

312
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: the expectations here in the state are pix twins at least.

313
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 6: I think the Big twelve is a lot softer than

314
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: the PAC twelve last year. PAC twelve is actually really

315
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 6: good last year. And well, Nebraska's not even in the

316
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 6: in the Big twelve, right, so so and that's that's

317
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 6: a big rival, no doubt about it. I don't know, man,

318
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 6: you know, they beat Nebraska last year. I went into

319
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: CSU because I don't know if we're all that concern.

320
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 6: You like to beat Nebraska, but if you lose to

321
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 6: Nebraska and Nebraska, I don't think it's the end of

322
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 6: the world. I think not to look past Nebraska whatsoever,

323
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 6: but it would probably be the end of the world

324
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 6: if you lost the Colorado State on the road. You know, yeah,

325
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 6: of course you'd like to win that, but you've gotta

326
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 6: win against North Dakota State and Colorado State. Nebraska on

327
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 6: the road is kind of like, ah, you know, it'd

328
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 6: be nice, but I don't know if the whole season

329
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 6: is going to be judged off that.

330
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: By the way, if memory serves, I think two years

331
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: ago Alabama had Bryce Young and Will Anderson in the

332
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: top three. So maybe Colorado will win the national championship

333
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: this year. We'll see. Just kidding.

334
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 6: Well, hey, hey, brother, listen to Prime and you know,

335
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 6: twelve teams in the in the in the tournament, right

336
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 6: you know, he bear, you know, but nobody's thinking like that.

337
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 6: Nobody's really thinking like that. I think the most reasonable

338
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 6: thing is to to make a bowl. And I think

339
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 6: making a bowl, believe it or not, even with two

340
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 6: top ten tenths, to be a big dealt fair enough.

341
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: Talking with Aaron McKee ninety two to five altitude in Denver.

342
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: You hear them every day, been a fixture on this show.

343
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: Love having him. Real quickly, just to say this, on

344
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: Colorado you mentioned six wins. They're total here in Vegas

345
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: is five and a half, which is not generous, not

346
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: a predictor. It's merely an instrument to create equal betting

347
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 2: on both sides. So I don't know that people have

348
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: a lot of faith in Colorado. And here's why. Yes

349
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: you have Travis Hundry, Yes you have Schudor standers. They're legitimate,

350
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: But those are players on the periphery. Football is blocking

351
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: and tackling. The rest are details. You know, they're revamping

352
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: their entire interior lines on both sides. Is it gonna work?

353
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: What's your best guess?

354
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 6: Impossible to know.

355
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 3: You know.

356
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 6: What's funny is the new NCAA video game there Travis

357
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 6: Hunter and Sudur Standards are playing their videotaping themselves and

358
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 6: they were ripping on their own offensive line.

359
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is true.

360
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: You know, it's pretty funny.

361
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: I didn't.

362
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, go look it up. It's easy to find.

363
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 6: It's easy to find, uh, Prime, It's easy to find

364
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: that video. But they said later that it was the

365
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 6: offensive line from last year. What what?

366
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: What is?

367
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: It's like.

368
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 6: SeeU Buffalo's are like a Pink Floyd song, Us and them,

369
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 6: And usually it's us, like a team against the world

370
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 6: at see you, it's us again. Sometimes people on the

371
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 6: same team US and them. You know, there's those in

372
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 6: the circle and then there's them, you know, be the

373
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 6: rest of the team. And I don't know if that

374
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 6: can all come together great, but but they definitely have

375
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 6: an US and them mentality. It's Prime and Travis Shiloh

376
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 6: Chadur Jordan Steton, like five or six guys, and then

377
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 6: there's you know, it's all their fault everybody else.

378
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 7: I'm now luci bad.

379
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 6: If they could call us that into a team, fine,

380
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 6: but that's kind of the vibe in Boulder.

381
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 2: Well I would invoke another Pink Floyd line, Shodor and Travis.

382
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.

383
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: You better block and tackle. This year, well, there's no

384
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: doubt about it.

385
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 6: I mean, how many coaches admit they start from the

386
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 6: outside and build in.

387
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: Matt Millen, I cover those wonderful I covered with those

388
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: wonderful Lions teams. That's a conversation for another day, Darren,

389
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: that we can have over your favorite beverage. I want

390
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: to jump to the Broncos because you open with that,

391
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: and I'm glad you did, because they're going to be

392
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: in the news and I'm gonna work backwards. Their schedule

393
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: to me is a little daunting. Three Their first four

394
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: games are on the road at Seattle, at Tampa Bay

395
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: at the Jets, sandwiched by a home game against Pittsburgh.

396
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: And then you got the Raiders who are talking like

397
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: they're going to be good again. And then you got

398
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: Harball on the chart. Argers those first six weeks, what

399
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: are realistic to you if they come out two and four.

400
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: I know you mentioned they're going to be patient, but

401
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, fans are fickle. Your thoughts

402
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: on the Broncos and that opening six week schedule.

403
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 6: Everything the Bronxos have done since ownership has taken over

404
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 6: and really been in control has been solid, and dumping

405
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson was a big part of it. Now, they

406
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 6: weren't an eight win team with Russell Wilson, but oh

407
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 6: my god, it just was not a fit at all.

408
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 6: And in week two, Russell Wilson, theoretically, if he's healthy

409
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 6: and starting for the Feelers comes here to Denver, that

410
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 6: should be pretty cool. But the expectations here are I'm

411
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 6: telling you, man, it's much more about twenty twenty five

412
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 6: than twenty twenty four. Everybody understands here that this is

413
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 6: a building block here, okay, And you've got the kumba

414
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 6: ya Broncos right now. Because the three quarterbacks buying for

415
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 6: the starting spot are all really good buddies. They're all

416
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 6: kind of the same age, they're all going through the

417
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 6: same things. They're nice guys, man. And it's not really

418
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 6: a competition, Bernie, it's not. It's a decision. Do you

419
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 6: want to give your best chance against Seattle League one. Well,

420
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 6: that might be Jared sidem Uzi last year, right the

421
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 6: quarterback with the most potential upside, And man, that might

422
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 6: be Zach Wilson. He's got the strongest arm and he

423
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 6: has the most flash of all the quarterbacks right now,

424
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 6: Zach Wilson, I swear to God the rehab project. Okay,

425
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 6: but then if you just want to get on with

426
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 6: the future, well then it's just bon Nicks and you're

427
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 6: just gonna have to, you know, suck up whatever that

428
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 6: really means. Because you know, he's an older rookie. He's

429
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 6: twenty four, and he's married, and he just bought a

430
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 6: house with a middle of nowhere Castle Pines. He's near

431
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 6: like a golf tournament, like that's where you go when

432
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 6: you're rich and in your fifties, and he's going there like, now, oh,

433
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 6: it's not exactly mister nightlife.

434
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 7: So you could see.

435
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 6: That there's something too built for he's a quarterback robot,

436
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 6: but he's a young guy. He's going to take a licking.

437
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: So what do you want to do again, Bernie. This

438
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: is not a competition. It's a philosophical decision the Broncos

439
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 6: have to make, and I think the most common sense

440
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 6: thing is to just start with the future with bo Nicks.

441
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 6: The incredible wild card is Zach Wilson, and we've seen

442
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 6: that just a few days in camp, like he is

443
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 6: the highest risk, highest reward guy they have. Do you

444
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 6: want that or do you want to develop somebody? And

445
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 6: Jared Sidham is a backup quarterback, but he's good, he's steady,

446
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 6: he's very likable, and you could see where they're just

447
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 6: like we want to beat Seattle. There's Sidham. So let's

448
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 6: see if the Broncos actually, Bernie, keep three quarterbacks on

449
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 6: the fifty three. If that happens, I will not be surprised.

450
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought it up. There are three quarterbacks

451
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 2: in a quarterback room. I understand Jared Stidham's getting for

452
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: team reps and they're not even in patch till Monday.

453
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: But bow Knicks has looked good. So final question, who

454
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: do you expect to be under center week one in Seattle?

455
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 6: I think it should be bon Nicks. I think common

456
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 6: sense will just tell us Hey, man, it ain't about

457
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 6: this year. I think they're ready to be patient. I

458
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 6: don't think this community is going to be too harsh

459
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: on them. If they only win five or six games,

460
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 6: I think that's okay, and then the bar will be

461
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 6: raised higher. So my guess will be Bonette.

462
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: Darren, it's always great to have you, and I think

463
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: it'll be a great story if Denver does well this year.

464
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: It makes some noise. One of my colleagues here, Steve Hartman,

465
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: believes he really believes that Denver could be this season's

466
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. So you'll see what happens.

467
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 6: Hey that we're all hoping that's the case. I don't

468
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 6: know who would be the Will Anderson, Nick Bonino, I

469
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: guess something like that. By the way, the Raiders. The

470
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 6: Raiders are good, really, Sarah, I.

471
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: Didn't say it, they did. I don't know if you

472
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: saw the meme with Patrick Mahomes and Kermit the Frog

473
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, what are you doing? What are

474
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: you doing? With all the respect Al Davison walking through

475
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: that door and you know you you know where I'm

476
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: going with that. What are you doing?

477
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 6: Raiders?

478
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 4: All right?

479
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 6: Well, that's the luck. Love talking to you.

480
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: Bernie, Darren, thanks so much for making time. We'll have

481
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: you on again. It's a season unfolds and best of luck.

482
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: Have a good season, pal. All right, brother that is

483
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Darren McKee uh he uh has been a fixture on

484
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: this show for about six months now. Really brings it.

485
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: During the NBA as we you know, we're highlighting the

486
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: Lakers Nuggets playoff series, we'll look ahead to Dion and Colorado.

487
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you if, if for any reason, the

488
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: Buffs lose to North Dakota State, and that could happen,

489
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: not necessarily predicting it, but it could happen, We'll probably

490
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: have Darren on the following week. Coming up back to

491
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 2: the Olympics with just a thought, could baseball return to

492
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: the Olympics? Remember the Olympic Games are coming in Los

493
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: Angeles in four years and wait, what the hell? Why

494
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: aren't baseball part of the Olympics. Now. I'll share all

495
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: that with you food for thought as we move along,

496
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: But first let's go to our guy, Kevin Wyren, the chef,

497
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: with the latest.

498
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bernie, the Olympics are underway, the games of the

499
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 8: thirty third Olympiad and one of the most talked about

500
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 8: storylines the rivalry in swimming between the United States and Australia.

501
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 8: We had a couple of meets between these two countries,

502
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 8: with US swimming taking gold in the four by one

503
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 8: hundred free style relay. But on the women's side of things,

504
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 8: the four hundred meter free style goes to Australia's Arion Tittnas.

505
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 8: She wins gold. Well, Katie Ledecki does add to her

506
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 8: illustrious career. She took bronze in that event. Canada men's

507
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 8: basketball they beat Greece eighty six seventy nine, despite thirty

508
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 8: four points from Giannis attended to Kumpo, but the Canadians victorious.

509
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 8: The United States will play Serbia Sunday morning at eleven

510
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 8: fifteen Eastern time. Canada's women's soccer coach Bev Priestman suspended

511
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 8: for a year for using drones to spy on opponents

512
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 8: close practices. That includes twice this past week in France,

513
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 8: and there have been other allegations that they've done it before.

514
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 9: ESPN is saying.

515
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 8: That US Soccer is aware of a long pattern of

516
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 8: similar circumstances involving Canadian teams attempting to view other teams

517
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 8: closed practices, and there have been frequent instances when American

518
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 8: teams were the targets, So that's certainly something to keep

519
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 8: an eye on as that story develops. Looking at the NFL,

520
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson returning to practice, he was out with an illness,

521
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 8: so who'll be back and we've got major League baseball

522
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 8: going on. The Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox in

523
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 8: ten inning, eleven to eight as Aaron June crakes his

524
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 8: thirty seventh home run of the season. The Houston astros

525
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 8: A rally from five runs down to beat the Dodgers

526
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 8: seven to six on an Alex Bragman home run. Showyotani,

527
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 8: though also going deep for Los Angeles. Giants and Rockies

528
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 8: had a double head with both games going to San Francisco.

529
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 8: Blake Snell did not get a decision in the opener

530
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 8: just by having fifteen strikeouts in six innings. The San

531
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 8: Diego Padres on a roll. They've made it seven wins

532
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 8: in a row, beating the Orioles nine to four in

533
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 8: the Braves snapping a six game losing streak as.

534
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 9: They beat the Mats for nothing.

535
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, hey, chef, you're a baseball fan,

536
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: would you like to see baseball back in the Olympics.

537
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 9: Absolutely, the Olympics.

538
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 8: That are my all time favorite sporting event or sporting

539
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 8: spectacle if you want to call it that. And having

540
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball or having baseball in the Olympics with

541
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball players participating in it, in my opinion,

542
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 8: is the best way to grow the game. The World

543
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 8: base Well Classic has been great, but having it as

544
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 8: part of the Olympics is something special, and I think

545
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 8: the league has been missing out a lot in not

546
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 8: having their top players participating in it. I think the

547
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 8: NHL also made a mistake in not setting their players anymore,

548
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 8: although I think they're going to send them back in

549
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 8: the next Olympics. I'm not sure on that one yet,

550
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 8: but I always thought that was a great way for

551
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 8: hockey to grow by using NHL players, and I think

552
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 8: the same could be for baseball as well.

553
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: I think that's fair one of the reasons, and thanks Chef,

554
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: good stuff, Bud, we look forward to your performance at

555
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: one thirty am Pacific. I think one of the reasons.

556
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: Let's take a look. And by the way, when it

557
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: was introduced in nineteen eighty four, that USA team which

558
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: was all college players. Twenty five guys in the roster.

559
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: I think twenty four got to the big leagues. That

560
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: was a really good And of course the Olympics were

561
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles in eighty four. Baseball is not a

562
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: full time event in the Olympics. It can happen, I

563
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: think in twenty twenty eight, and when the home country

564
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: wants it, for instance, like in Japan in twenty twenty

565
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: when they held them it was wactually twenty twenty one,

566
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: they can have it. That's not the case for France, okay,

567
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: But the US is an ideal country, and I believe

568
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: you will see that base I believe you will see

569
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: baseball return to the Olympics in twenty twenty eight. It'll

570
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: only be the seventh time in Olympic history it's been

571
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: an official medal sport. But see here, here's the kicker.

572
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: It really is gonna come down. It's going to depend

573
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: on how many teams or how many countries are able

574
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: to participate, how many countries are able to participate in

575
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: a competitive way. In two thousand and eight, there were

576
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: eight teams playing in a round robin format. The top

577
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: four advanced to a single elimination round, and then you

578
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 2: had the gold medal. In the bronze medal games in

579
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty there were only six teams, they had a

580
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: round robins round robin style, first round, blah blah blah,

581
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: similar format, And so I think they're talking about maybe

582
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: using the World Baseball Classic format as a blueprint print

583
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. One thing to keep

584
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: in mind. The nice thing about the World Baseball Classic,

585
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: which is awesome, it's played March before the season starts.

586
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: So you've got a situation now where you really would

587
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: have to take almost a month off in the Major

588
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: League Baseball season. So then let's say they do have

589
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: the games in twenty twenty eight in Los Angeles, and

590
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: I believe they will. Where will the games be played? Well,

591
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: obviously Dodger Stadium would be one venue, Anaheim Stadium, perhaps

592
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: Angel Stadium, perhaps Petco Park, perhaps Oracle Park in San Francisco.

593
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: Those are options, and you know it would it would

594
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: be a situation that you've got to coordinate all these

595
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: things as well. But then the other the other sixty

596
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: four dollars question, would major League stars participate? Have any

597
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: said they would be interesting? There's been sort of an

598
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: ongoing discussion, and there are drips and drabs. There are

599
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: players who have expressed interest in participating in the Olympics

600
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: for the first time in the past Team USA, if

601
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: you look at the rosters, it's primarily collegiate and minor

602
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: league stars. But Tony Clark, who's the Major League Baseball

603
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: Players Association executive director, he said recently that there's been

604
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: more momentum for major league players that would want to play,

605
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: most notably Bryce Harper or the Phillies. He expressed interest.

606
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: He talked about that he would really like to play,

607
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: would be a dream. He thinks it's a lot of

608
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: players dreamed to be in the Olympics, especially if they're

609
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: going to be in the United States. And when he

610
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: heard that the sport could return in twenty twenty eight

611
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, he said, he's very interested. So I think

612
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: you'd have a Bryce Harper thumbs up there. But here

613
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: comes the most Here comes the trickiest part that I

614
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: alluded to just a minute ago. What happens to the

615
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball season during the games? See, that's the

616
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: tricky part. There was an informal poll of some executives

617
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: and they did not like this idea. They did not

618
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: return a very positive response when it came to disrupting

619
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball season just for purposes of the tournament.

620
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what would have to happen. If the

621
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: Americans are going to field a team of Major League

622
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: stars foreign countries, maybe they can do what they want

623
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: on an individual basis. That would have to be decided,

624
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: of course, but the regular season would have to be

625
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: altered in lots of ways, not too dissimilar to what's

626
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: happening to the WNBA right now. They're basically in the

627
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: midst of an Olympic break, so the team and their

628
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: stars and the WNBA All Stars can compete in Paris.

629
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: So the other thing that does not sit well with

630
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: executives is that, in twenty twenty eight, and we all know,

631
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: and I talked about this in the Midnight Hour three

632
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: weeks ago on the Bernie Fraule Show, all Star games

633
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: have become a fugazi. They're boring, they're nonexistent, but of

634
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: the four, the Major League Baseball All Star Game is

635
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: still the best. Say that in the air quotes. The

636
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: theory is, in twenty twenty eight, if you field an

637
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: American and a team USA Baseball team in the Olympics

638
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: comprised of Major League Baseball players. You would have to

639
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: forego the All Star Game at twenty twenty eight, so

640
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: they would take ten days off at the end of

641
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: July when the games are played to make up for

642
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: the extra time off. I think one one obvious solution

643
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: would be just to LinkedIn the schedule. Linked in the calendar,

644
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: you'd have more regular season games in March or early October,

645
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: and then you run the risk of you run the

646
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 2: risk of potentially extending the postseason further into November, and

647
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: maybe you have weather issues. Right. The other possibility is

648
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 2: for teams to play fewer total games in twenty twenty eight.

649
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: That ain't gonna happen. They're not going to reduce the

650
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two game seasons. So see, there's

651
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 2: a lot of moving parts, and there are TV issues here.

652
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: My suggestion, you have baseball in the twenty twenty eight Olympics,

653
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: which it looks like they are, do what you've done

654
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: in the past. Allow you know, minor league stars, allow

655
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: college stars to formulate a team, and let's send that team.

656
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: It's more of an exhibition than anything else. If a

657
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: guy like Bryce Harper wants to play, he can clear

658
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: with his employer. I don't see the value in disrupting

659
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: a Major League Baseball season anymore for the purpose the Olympics.

660
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: I just simply don't. I think the Olympics have lost

661
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: their luster. And you know, I don't think there's a

662
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: lot of glory in winning a gold medal in baseball.

663
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 2: And remember the twenty twenty three year old baseball class

664
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: that gives us a good idea of the real tournament

665
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 2: and who the teams are to beat. Japan beat the

666
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: United States championship game, and they might be the Olympic favorites,

667
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: assuming Mishoeyo Tani goes and plays for them. Historically, Cuba

668
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: is actually when of the most gold medals were three,

669
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: followed by Japan, South Korea, in the United States with one.

670
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: So it's not exactly that the United States is dominated

671
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 2: in the Olympics. I don't know they care that they have.

672
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: So there's that coming up. Boy, the quarterbacks are getting paid.

673
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna give you a sobering statistic about the

674
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: fact that, you know what, you can't buy a love

675
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: when it comes to winning a Super Bowl and I'm

676
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: gonna lay it out for you. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're

677
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 2: coming to your life from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

680
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

681
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Frattle Show. Fox Sports

682
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: Radio coming to you live from the tyrac dot com

683
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Just kidding. Started to taking

684
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern, Top of

685
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: the hour Medina Magic. We get into some NBA stuff

686
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 2: in about eight and a half hours. The USA tips

687
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: off against Serbia. Back on July six, twenty twenty, Patrick

688
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes signed a ten year i've hundred and three million

689
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: dollar contract. This is four years ago. Someone on our

690
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: network said it was the worst contract of all time. Okay,

691
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: fair enough whatever. Since then, though Mahomes has won three

692
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. What he did, the way he structured it,

693
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: He took less so he could win and it's working.

694
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: And he recently signed a four hundred and fifty thousand

695
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 2: dollars extension of four hundred and fifty four hundred and

696
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: fifty million here's the point. Look, the highest paid quarterbacks

697
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL have a combined zero Super Bowl ranks.

698
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: We're talking about the nine highest paid quarterbacks because Dak's

699
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: probably about to get paid. We just saw the TUA

700
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: got paid, and he deserved it. By the way, I

701
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: absolutely deserved it, and I think Jordan Love, who just

702
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: got paid, he deserved it as well. I'm not saying

703
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: they didn't. But like a lot of things in life,

704
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: money can't buy you love. Sometimes it can, most times

705
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: it can't. So you got Joe Burr, who's still the

706
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: highest paid quarterback at fifty five million dollars. You have

707
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence fifty five million dollars to a now fifty

708
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 2: three point one, Jordan Love fifty three million, Jared Goff

709
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: fifty three million, Justin Herbert fifty two point five million.

710
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurtz or checked that, yes, Jalen Hurts fifty one million.

711
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: I skipped over Lamar Jackson at fifty two million. So

712
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: here's the bottom line. What do they all have in common?

713
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: What they have in common is they have combined for

714
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: zero Super Bowls. How can that be because the way

715
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: that quarterbacks are paid sort of has more to do

716
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: with peer pressure and slotted contracts versus winning. Patrick Mahomes

717
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: is making forty five million this year. That's a bargain

718
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: in today's numbers. And the truth of the matter is, well,

719
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: I absolutely believe it is, yes, the thinnest position in

720
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: all sports. It is perhaps the most important position in

721
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: all sports. However, paying a guy doesn't guarantee results. Is

722
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: I just mentioned the top nine paid quarterbacks have never

723
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl? Just seems like an odd juxtaposition

724
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: to me. Now, a little later in the show, I'm

725
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: going to get into this Dallas Cowboys fans survey, and

726
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: I really tip my cap to the good folks of Dallas.

727
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 2: They were honest And one of the things they said,

728
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: they were about eleven hundred respondents, if only one of

729
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: these three Cowboys could be on the roster three years

730
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: from now, who would you want it to be? Well,

731
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: fifty two percent didn't say Dak. They said Michael Parsons.

732
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: Thirty four percent didn't say Dak. They said Ceedee Lamb.

733
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: So eighty seven percent of the respondents didn't vote for

734
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. Only thirteen percent other respondents voted for Dak Prescott.

735
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: So despite finishing second in League MVP a year ago.

736
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 2: Prescott's approval rating is lower than people might expect because

737
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 2: he doesn't win when it matters most and he's not

738
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 2: gonna win this year, but he is gonna get paid.

739
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: So the list will continue coming up. Mark Medina, keep

Speaker 2: And before we get to France, Mark, we've really got

762
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: to get to the elephant of the room. This is

763
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 2: major news, and from a journalistic standpoint, I believe it

764
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: has multiple The stage is set. There's going to be

765
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: a high stakes show down between the NBA and TNT

766
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: as the NBA rejected Warner Brothers offered to match the

767
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: one point billion dollar deal this past Tuesday. I have

768
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: lots of opinions and thoughts, but I want to start

769
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: with yours. What was your knee jerk reaction when you

770
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: saw this?

771
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 7: Well, it's the lawyers are going to be happy. That's

772
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 7: number one. They're going to get paid regardless. Number two.

773
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 7: I think that what's going to happen is that the

774
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 7: NBA is going to get its way. That war is

775
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 7: not the main partner anymore. You know the fact that

776
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 7: David Zasloff said a while back, we don't need the

777
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 7: NBA that didn't so well with Adam Silver didne so

778
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 7: well with the league. But I think that moving forward,

779
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 7: inside the NBA is going to exist. I know a

780
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 7: lot of fans are worried about O's is the end

781
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 7: of Charles Barkley and Kunny Smith and Shack and Ernie

782
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 7: Johnson together. And I think we have to stress one thing. One.

783
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 7: Tn T is going to have the game's next season.

784
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 7: This is about the twenty twenty five to twenty sixth season.

785
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 7: But I think even though tn T won't be showing

786
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 7: the NBA games anymore, I think that there is a

787
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 7: pathway for Inside the NBA to be a part of

788
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 7: the Amazon package or really any of the networks. I mean,

789
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 7: Inside the NBA is the best NBA show, And even

790
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 7: though Ernie Johnson has said that he's not going to

791
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 7: leave Turner, I think there's a way that he can

792
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 7: do both where he's technically working with Turner, but they

793
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 7: can sell that show to one of the streaming platforms

794
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 7: and go from there. So yeah, how it plays out litigation,

795
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 7: who knows, But I think that ultimately the NBA will win,

796
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 7: and you know, they'll show that they have a case,

797
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 7: so we'll have to wait and see.

798
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in agreement on both fronts, but I think

799
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: from a journalistic standpoint, what this does is start to

800
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: beg the interpretation with respect to as you look ahead

801
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: to the next decade, you've got traditional media companies versus streaming. Now,

802
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime has one hundred and eighty million subscribers, and

803
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about incredibly deep pockets. So is this going

804
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: to be a referendum the next decade? Are you going

805
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 2: to see the Amazons, the Apples, and the Googles be

806
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 2: the primary homes of live sports because clearly the NBA

807
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 2: chase the money and they're going to get it. Yeah.

808
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 7: I mean, look, I think it's inevitable, and I think

809
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 7: that one of the things that the listeners have to

810
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 7: be mindful of is that the job description of any

811
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 7: commissioner is that they their bosses are the owners. They

812
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 7: work for the owners, and so the main objective is

813
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 7: how do we make more money for the owners? And

814
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 7: objective met for Adam Silver. I understand any fan frustration

815
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 7: that's like, Okay, now I got to sign for another

816
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 7: streaming service, But you can't really fault the MBA necessarily

817
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 7: for pursuing this because one, that's the future said, especially

818
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 7: with the tech companies, and the trend line in the

819
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 7: past decade is that people are unsubscribed to cable. So

820
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 7: when it makes sense from a business perspective to sign

821
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 7: on board for a medium that's losing customers, they want

822
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 7: to reach as many audiences as possible. But I think

823
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 7: I will say this one to Adam Silver's praise. He

824
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 7: was able to play the competition against each other, even

825
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 7: though that all these media companies are going through different challenges.

826
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 7: They know that content is king, and when you have competition,

827
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 7: that can increase the price. Number Two, I do understand

828
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 7: some fan pushback that you know, this saturates everything and

829
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 7: they're they're they may have gotten a profit, but they

830
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 7: sold their soul in the process. But again, I think

831
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 7: the main concern is inside the NBA, and I think

832
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 7: that's still going to be salvaged. And even though I

833
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 7: have a lot of you know, sympathy for those who

834
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 7: are going to be affected with this and the industry,

835
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 7: it's my natural feeling that those people will be able

836
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 7: to sign on with the other network. So, you know,

837
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 7: maybe not everyone, but at least the people you know

838
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 7: that are the major players there.

839
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 2: Talk Way, Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night, and

840
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fotters Show twelve midnight Pacific time, our Fox

841
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 2: Sports Radio NBA Guru a couple of things. Let's talk

842
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 2: about the fans. Let's and I say that in air quotes.

843
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 2: The dirty little secret, Mark is I think for the

844
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 2: last fifty years, none of the major league sports teams

845
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: really care about the fans. That's a conversation for a

846
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: different day. But they don't. However, let's unpack the.

847
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 7: They care about their money though. Let me have that.

848
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: And the two you would think go hand in hand.

849
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 2: But let's talk about Let's define fans for just a second.

850
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: Because you alluded to finding as many as they can.

851
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 2: The NBA internationally will grow their audience now like never

852
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: before thanks to these streaming services. Act those are also fans.

853
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: I know there are the cadre of fans who are

854
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 2: in love with the NBA and tn T and Shaq

855
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: and and Ernie and that whole crew. But you know,

856
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: life goes on. I'm not trying to be a synec here.

857
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 2: The reality of it is the NBA will have more

858
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 2: fans than ever in multiple platforms and and modalities around

859
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: the world than ever before in the next ten years.

860
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: That's how they see they are delivering the product of

861
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: the fans.

862
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you're heading on to something here, and it's

863
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 7: and it has to do with TV. It has to

864
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 7: be and the other has to do with the overall

865
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 7: fan experience. The rsn s, you know, the local TV feeds,

866
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 7: UH and stations, they're they're big trouble. You know, they've

867
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 7: been struggling. I think with exception to really the Lakers

868
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 7: and you know, the Knicks, a lot of the other

869
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 7: local A lot of the local teams are you know,

870
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 7: dependent on having some of those local affiliates. And Valley's

871
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 7: Sports has gone through different bankruptcies and so I think

872
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 7: that is a concern that you have even more resources

873
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 7: of national networks and that can dilute like the local

874
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 7: fan experience because they're looking at the market games or

875
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 7: catering to a general audience. So I think you're on

876
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 7: to something there. With exception again, teams like the Lakers,

877
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 7: teams like the Knicks, some of those small market teams

878
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 7: are going to be vulnerable that they don't get the

879
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 7: kind of exposure that they would at the local level.

880
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 7: Number two, I think you hit onto something about you know, hey,

881
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 7: they might care about the fans, and I was mentioning

882
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 7: fhasiciously they care about their money, but you also want

883
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 7: to value their experience. And I think that that's always

884
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 7: the balancing act. Obviously, you want to make a profit,

885
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 7: make some money, but you want to make fans feel

886
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 7: good about themselves. And I think when you're looking at

887
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 7: the game experience, a lot of times I don't see

888
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 7: the same kind of novelty and joy that fans experience

889
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 7: in the past the games. Now, some of it is

890
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 7: just the times that we're in. You know, people who

891
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 7: go to the games are you know, glued to their

892
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 7: phones and they have other distractions. But it doesn't even

893
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 7: regardless of that whole behavior and trend in society, it

894
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 7: doesn't feel like there's that same enthusiasm for the game

895
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 7: experiences that once was. I think part of it has

896
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 7: to do with what we're talking about with all these

897
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 7: pricing verses.

898
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 2: Last thing on this subject, Mark, because I'm following this lawsuit,

899
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: I got a legal mind, and the complaint Warner Brothers

900
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: accused the NBA of quote carefully and meticulously crafting the

901
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: Amazon offer to circumvent the t and T Sports offer.

902
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: Do you believe language was intentionally written so that the

903
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: fix was in and tn T was just simply not

904
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: going to win the big.

905
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 7: Well, look, I think the NBA is the and so

906
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 7: we'll be like, yes, we interpreted as we saw fit. Uh,

907
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 7: nothing's illegal here. I think my hunch is, obviously Warner

908
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 7: has a reason to feel upset, but Amazon has a

909
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 7: lot more money than Warner does, and Warner, yeah, warners

910
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 7: in debt. They've been making a lot of different bad

911
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 7: financial decisions, so you know, I think from that standpoint,

912
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 7: the NBA I think has a much stronger case so

913
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 7: they can look at the company and say we trust

914
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 7: in their long term value and that they'll actually honor

915
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 7: the contract. Where when you look at what's called Warner,

916
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 7: they've been in debt for a while, so I don't

917
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 7: think that they have a case. To be quite frank

918
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 7: with you.

919
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 2: Mark, you should be part of the NBA legal team

920
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 2: because you get I got well, I give you top credit.

921
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, with all due respect, Warner stock is sagging,

922
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 2: They're they're facing investor backlash and analysts have downgraded the ratings.

923
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 2: So this is a we could spend a full hour

924
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 2: on this alone, but we got to move along. In

925
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 2: eight hours, the USA will tip off against Serbia. I'm

926
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 2: just going to say it. I don't think they'll lose

927
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: a game. It may not be pretty. Maybe a lot

928
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: of one on one basketball. I so, you know, play

929
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 2: defense when you feel like it. I just don't think

930
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: anybody in this tournament can beat this team. Your thoughts, I.

931
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 7: Don't think that TVOSA is invincible. I mean, if Kevin

932
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 7: Durant has other health issues, that's always a thing now

933
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 7: and fairness to Kerr expects Kevin Durant to play against Serbia,

934
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 7: but he hadn't played all the five exhibition games. He's

935
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 7: a plug and play player because he's Kevin Durant. But

936
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 7: I think that there you have to be cautious with

937
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 7: just making sure you're not throwing them out there, you know,

938
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 7: and then playing a lot of minutes and phase him

939
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 7: just so he doesn't get hurt again. But I think that, yes, USA,

940
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 7: they have the best talent. If they don't win, it's

941
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 7: a disappointment. They have Lebron James playing at a high level.

942
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 7: I think Kevin Durant will play at a high level

943
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 7: once he's back. The same thing with Steph, and I

944
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 7: think that for Frankly, you know, the early season struggles

945
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 7: or in training camp struggles had to do with the

946
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 7: fact that they don't have the same continuity as everyone else.

947
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 7: And I think that you're going to continue to see

948
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 7: them get better and better through group play and then

949
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 7: through each knockout stage. Is that being said, look for

950
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 7: Canada to be able to test them. I mean they

951
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 7: shake out to go to Alexander and lou Dort and

952
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 7: Dylan Brooks. Germany is a really good team. You know,

953
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 7: they kept toe to toe with them in the exhibition.

954
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 7: They're able to be done last year in the World

955
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 7: a Feeble World Cup. Dennis Schroeder is a great point guard.

956
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 7: You know, they have Franz Wagner as well, and Daniel

957
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 7: Sice so no, I mean Dyce and Daniels. So yeah,

958
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 7: there's a lot of good competition. But tim Usa has Lebron,

959
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 7: Katie and Steph. Rust my case, I'll.

960
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: Give a tip to tip of the captas Serbia and

961
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 2: Australia and Germany and maybe even France. But I'm glad

962
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: you mentioned Kevin Durant because it sounds like they're going

963
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: to force feed him into the lineup. Of course, I

964
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 2: get it. He's the all time leading gore in US

965
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: men's basketball vis a vis the Olympics. But the issue

966
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 2: with the US men's team has always been how do

967
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: you reconcile and bridge what I call the talent chemistry divide.

968
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 2: They've got the talent that they don't have any chemistry.

969
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 2: This team's not even fun to watch. Canada, I think,

970
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: is the only team in the tournament that could give

971
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 2: them fits there and I don't even think they can.

972
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 2: And by the way, let's let's address this. Canada is

973
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: in what's called the Group of death. They're not even

974
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 2: guaranteed to road to the gold medal game. Your thoughts on.

975
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 7: That, Yeah, I mean that's a that's the luck of

976
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 7: the draw here, you know.

977
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 2: Uh.

978
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 7: But I think to your point about Team US say

979
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 7: they're not fun to watch, I think it's been fun.

980
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 7: I mean, you're seeing Lebron having to play like he

981
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 7: does with the Lakers on a normal basis, and even

982
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 7: though that's not great for the team, you see Lebron

983
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 7: to find father time. I will say this, I think

984
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 7: that they're going to be more fun to watch as

985
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 7: time goes on. Kevin Durant will have something to do

986
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 7: with that, but I think it again, every player I

987
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 7: think has mostly tried. It's not like they're not given

988
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 7: a damn. I think it really just has to do

989
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 7: with connuity and trying to get the rotations down. I'm

990
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 7: not going to fault Steve Kerr for coaching decisions because

991
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 7: you have you can roll out every single player in

992
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 7: the lineup and that five man group is better than

993
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 7: the other team. But I think that he's going to

994
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 7: change that whole hockey stylesist and I think Joel Embiid

995
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 7: is going to continue to get better. So yeah, the

996
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 7: exhibitions may not have been pretty, but I will give

997
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 7: you a prediction here Serbia. They're going to play lights

998
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 7: out and then they're just going to keep the ball rolling.

999
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 2: All right, two things, and by the way, it's my

1000
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: understanding that that Jowel Embiid and Anthony Davis are under

1001
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 2: the weather. Is that possibly a factor?

1002
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 7: Well, it could always be, But Nick Steve Curtin' sound

1003
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 7: too concerned. I suspect that they're going to all play

1004
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 7: on Sunday. I think the bigger thing to look at

1005
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 7: is just Kevin Durant return again. I think that he's

1006
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 7: plug and play he's going to be starting. He's a

1007
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 7: very efficient player, so he's the all time winn scorer

1008
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 7: in TEMUSA history because he is a great scorer, but

1009
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 7: he's very efficient and he's a really good passer, so

1010
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 7: he doesn't force anything. So I think that with that,

1011
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 7: all that they're going to have to do is just

1012
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 7: minors minutes to make sure that he can catch up

1013
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 7: to speed with his rust and conditioning, and then increase

1014
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,720
Speaker 7: his workload against False Danel Wednesday.

1015
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 2: And I'll give Lebron a lot of credit for scoring

1016
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: the final eleven points against Germany the other day. But

1017
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 2: when I look at basketball, I like to see ball

1018
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: movement and I like to see real offensive sets and plays,

1019
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: and I don't see any of that with this team.

1020
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: But that's not the point they're going to win. I

1021
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 2: think they're too talented, they're too deep, to too athletic.

1022
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 2: So let's put the USA in the final gold medal game.

1023
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: Who do you believe their opponent will be. Let's look

1024
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 2: for ahead.

1025
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 7: Yeah it's gonna be Canada. I think they will get

1026
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 7: out of group play. I mean they have I think

1027
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 7: the second most NBA players in international competition, so uh yeah,

1028
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 7: it's going to be Canada. Dllan Brooks will try to

1029
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 7: get in Lebron's head. It's not going to work. Shay Gilgess. Alexander, though,

1030
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 7: is a really good point guard. He's a complete point guard.

1031
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 7: Lou Dord I think is one of the best defenders

1032
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 7: in the NBA. He's very physical, So I think it's

1033
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 7: almost Murray. Yeah, and Jelmal Murray. You're right, I mean

1034
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 7: he is a he's a one to two punch with Shay.

1035
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 7: I think for different reasons, it's gonna give reminders to

1036
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 7: American fans on how competitive the US Spain game was

1037
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 7: in two thousand and eight and twenty twelve. Now twenty

1038
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 7: twelve or in two thousand and eight, both teams Spain

1039
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 7: was defined with their front court depth, most notably with

1040
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 7: pal Gasol, where candidate's more kind of point guard oriented.

1041
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 7: But I think the broader point that making is that

1042
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 7: candidate can threaten the US the same way because they

1043
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 7: have NBA talent, have continuity. So I think it'll be

1044
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 7: a close game, but I think ultimately the US will prevail.

1045
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in agreement with you, and it's gonna be

1046
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 2: fun to watch. I certainly will be watching it. Final

1047
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: thoughts any headlines that I missed this week in the

1048
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 2: NBA besides those two.

1049
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 7: Oh you're pal Russell Westbrook. Finally the Nuggets.

1050
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. I talked to Darren McKee and Denver about

1051
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 2: that an hour ago. They're actually kind of excited to

1052
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 2: have Russell Westbrook. They're hoping that he can channels inner

1053
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 2: Bruce Bowen and fill a gap. They really believe that.

1054
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, they can enjoy that all they want.

1055
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 7: I guess, well, he told.

1056
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: Me not to interrupt you, Mark, He said, listen, they're

1057
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: not going to play around here. If Russell Westbrook reverts

1058
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 2: into some of his past behavior, they'll boom them out

1059
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 2: of there before the trade deadline. Yeah.

1060
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's exactly right. I mean, Michael Malone doesn't play.

1061
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 7: They got a championship corps with Nikole Yo Krich and

1062
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 7: Murray and Michael Porter Junior and Aaron Gordon. I think

1063
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 7: that the Nuggets interest, though, in Russell Westbrook, had more

1064
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,479
Speaker 7: to do with circumstances than any infatuation with his game.

1065
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 7: They've been losing a lot of their you know, supporting

1066
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 7: cast in recent years. I mean Contavious Colwell, Pope and

1067
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 7: Reggie Jackson this year, Bruce Brown and this Smith last year.

1068
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 7: They need more complimentary players to relieve the pressure off

1069
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 7: their championship course. So I think russ can be good

1070
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 7: because one, he's not expensive too. He can come off

1071
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 7: the bench and be Russell Westbrook. Especially the fact that

1072
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 7: they have a talented team, they can cover up his weaknesses.

1073
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 7: But he should be under no illusion on less there's

1074
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 7: you know, a major injury with Jamal Murray. He shouldn't

1075
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 7: be starting games, and in the playoffs he's not going

1076
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 7: to have a major role. But in the regular season

1077
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 7: he can provide some extra juice and spice to keep

1078
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 7: that second unit going.

1079
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: Already looking forward to next week, you never know what

1080

01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 2: back teams are in camp, they're getting in pads. Storylines

1130
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: are forming Thursday. The Bears will play the Houston Texans.

1131
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 2: Bears are two point favorites. Yeah, yeah, you can bet

1132
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 2: preseason and if you get information preseason is sometimes easier

1133
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: that may surprise you. Well, if you don't believe me,

1134
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: why do the books have such low limits on preseason games?

1135
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 2: Much harder to set a line and also much harder

1136
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 2: to get the same information that some better's gig. But

1137
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 2: the key thing is are the storylines. There are multiple

1138
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 2: storylines heading into the twenty twenty fourth season. By the way,

1139
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 2: top of the Yard one am Pacific, four m Eastern,

1140
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 2: we are going to dive into the results of this

1141
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys fans survey. It really really chronicles the frustrations

1142
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 2: about the current state of the franchise. And I give

1143
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 2: top credit to the good people in Dallas who are

1144
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 2: honest and forthright about the responses and their expectations and

1145
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: their evaluation of the Dallas Cowboys as a franchise and

1146
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 2: the current team. Good folks listening on the ticket in

1147
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 2: Dallas to the Bernie Frale Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1148
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 2: But first we're going to get into these storylines coming up. However,

1149
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 2: we got to go back to our guy, Kevin Wyer

1150
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 2: the chef.

1151
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 8: With the latest Yes, Bernie. The Olympics in full swing

1152
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 8: out in a Paris sam. One of the storylines that

1153
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 8: we been reading so far and watching has been the

1154
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 8: swimming matchup between the United States and Australia. The first

1155
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 8: meat goes to the United States four by one hundred

1156
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 8: freestyle relay as they defeat the Australians, but on the

1157
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,919
Speaker 8: women's side of things, they four hundred meter freestyle goes

1158
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 8: to Australia's Ari arn Titmuss. He beats out Katie Ledeki.

1159
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 8: Ladeki got the bronze medal, so she does make the

1160
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 8: podium and adds to her illustrious career. In basketball, it's

1161
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 8: Canada defeating Greece eighty six seventy nine to spy a

1162
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 8: herculean effort from Jiannis. He had thirty four points in

1163
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 8: the defeat. Other results from Saturday it's France over Brazil

1164
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 8: seventy eight sixty six, Germany beats Japan ninety seven to

1165
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 8: seventy seven, Australia over Spain ninety two to eighty and

1166
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 8: the United States will play Serbia Sunday morning at eleven

1167
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 8: fifteen Eastern time, and a developing story in soccer. What

1168
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 8: a story this has in right, Canada's coach Bev Priman,

1169
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 8: Canada's women's soccer coach Bev pri Spin suspended for a

1170
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 8: year for using drones to spy on opponents closed practices.

1171
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 8: Not just in the Olympics, it happened a couple of times,

1172
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 8: but they did it in recent years as well. And

1173
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 8: ESPN came out with a report saying that the United

1174
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 8: States Soccer Federation has been aware of a long pattern

1175
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 8: of similar circumstances involving Canadian teams attempting to view other

1176
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 8: teams close practices and a couple of instances involving the

1177
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 8: American team. So something to keep an eye on as

1178
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 8: we learn more about this story. Major League Baseball, we

1179
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 8: had some trades go down today as we are approaching

1180
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 8: the trade deadline, the Yankees acquiring outfielder Jazz Chisholm Junior

1181
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 8: from the Marlins and the Marlins receiving three prospects in

1182
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 8: the deal, and the New York Mets finalizing a trade

1183
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 8: to acquire Jesse Winker from the Washington Nationals, as first

1184
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 8: reported by ESPN. And as for the action on the

1185
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 8: Diamonds Saturday night, Aaron Judge, cranking his thirty seventh home

1186
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 8: run to help the Yankees win it in Boston in

1187
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 8: extra innings eleven to eight. Choeyotani goes deep for his

1188
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 8: thirty second home run, but the Dodgers wowing a five

1189
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 8: run lead to lose to their heated rival, the Houston

1190
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 8: Astros seven to six. Giants winning the doubleheader against the Rockies,

1191
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 8: sweeping both games, winning game one four to one, game

1192
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 8: two to five, nothing, Blake Snaw not getting the w

1193
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 8: It was no decision, but Man fifteen strikeouts and six

1194
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 8: innings certainly deserved to get credit for the win. There,

1195
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 8: Padres make it seven wins in a row, beating the

1196
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 8: Baltimore Orioles nine to four. Braves snap a six game

1197
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 8: losing streak as they defeat the Mets four to nothing.

1198
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 9: Bet you Bernie, all.

1199
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 2: Right, Jef, So, if you happen to be sampling the

1200
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 2: NFL Network today, you saw a long form interview with

1201
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,439
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and I don't know how you can head

1202
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 2: into this twenty twenty four season with your eyes wide

1203
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 2: open and not ascertained that Aaron Rodgers returned to the

1204
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Jets after all the build up, all the expectations. After

1205
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 2: all the drama last year culminated in four plays before

1206
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 2: the Jets season went down, the Tubes still managed to

1207
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 2: win seven games. If they'd had just average quarterback play,

1208
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 2: they might have been a playoff team with that defense,

1209
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 2: because that defense is for real. And you juxtapose that

1210
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 2: with what Aaron Rodgers' successor did in Green Bay, You've

1211
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 2: got yourself a story. And by the way, let's be fair,

1212
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers return, He's not the only one who's going

1213
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: to be embarking on what people are hoping for successful

1214
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 2: comeback campaigns. Remember Joe Burrow, Anthony Richardson, Nick Chubb, Kirk Cousins,

1215
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Those are all guys who mean a lot

1216
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 2: of their franchise and they're all coming back, and they

1217
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 2: all will formulate storylines depending on the success they have,

1218
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,479
Speaker 2: and they'll all be candidates for Comeback Player of the Year.

1219
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 2: But there is not a single player in the NFL.

1220
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 2: I defy you to debate me on this that will

1221
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 2: return to the league this season with a level of

1222
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 2: scrutiny and the level of pressure and the level of

1223
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 2: expectations that Aaron Rodgers will have with the New York Jets.

1224
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 2: This is win or bust. I really believe that Robert

1225
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 2: Salad will be part of this as well. If the

1226
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Packers don't get to the playoffs and get to the

1227
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know what their expectations

1228
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 2: are with respect to specifics, but I would say if

1229
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 2: they don't get to the AFC East Championship, they may

1230
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 2: blow the whole damn thing up because he isn't getting

1231
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 2: any younger, and Rodgers isn't get any younger. But you know,

1232
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 2: and you come back after an Achilles ten and after

1233
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 2: just four snaps, and now you're going to turn forty

1234
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 2: one next year. It goes deeper than that. Rogers just

1235
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 2: trying to put an organization on his shoulders that has

1236
01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 2: been dysfunctional as far as being Super Bowl can tenders

1237
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 2: is for as long as you could remember. And so

1238
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 2: one of the things we don't know, can a forty

1239
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 2: year old Aaron Rodgers can attain anything close to the

1240
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 2: form that Rogers has been in in the past, and

1241
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 2: the type of form that the Jets are going to

1242
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 2: need badly if someone is going to elevate this franchise

1243
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 2: to the next level, whatever that next level may be.

1244
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 2: I think if Rogers plays well, I think the Jets

1245
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 2: are ten to eleven win team easy. I really believe

1246
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 2: that he's got to stay healthy. He's got to play

1247
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 2: at least fifteen to the seventeen games. And you know,

1248
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 2: it also remains to be seen if Aaron Rodgers can

1249
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 2: button his lip a little bit, because in the last

1250
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 2: year he's criticized the lack of professionalism by members of

1251
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 2: the organization and that doesn't exactly help when you're trying

1252
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 2: to change the culture. So the Jets have a lot

1253
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 2: of question marks, not the least of which Aaron Rodgers return,

1254
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 2: which I believe is the number one story. And there

1255
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 2: was more drama that was fueled even further last month

1256
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 2: when you know, the Rogers and the Jets were in

1257
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 2: the spotlight again after Rogers missed the team's mandatory mini

1258
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 2: camp and I realized Rogers had a previously scheduled trip

1259
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,799
Speaker 2: to Egypt. It was on the schedule before he knew

1260
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: what the mandatory mini camp's schedule was. But this translates

1261
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 2: to drama, and this doesn't happen to first class organizations.

1262
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 2: There's how might this have been avoided? I don't know.

1263
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 2: It's not my problem. But it's another development that raises

1264
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 2: questions about Aaron Rodgers' level of dedication, and many wonder

1265
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 2: whether he and Robert Sala are even on the same page.

1266
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. We're gonna find out whether they are

1267
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 2: or they aren't. If they don't win, it's not gonna matter. Now.

1268
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 2: The New York Jets brass believed, they've always believed in

1269
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 2: the last three years, just one star quarterback away from

1270
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 2: contending for a Super Bowl victory. They pulled the trigger

1271
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 2: on this massive blockbuster trade with the Packers in twenty

1272
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 2: twenty three to get Aaron Rodgers. What do they have

1273
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 2: to show for it? Nothing? Or do the Packers have

1274
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:20,480
Speaker 2: to show for it? A very impressive playoff win in Dallas,

1275
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 2: headed to San Francisco where they were very competitive. And

1276
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 2: I will tell you this, a lot of folks that

1277
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: I talked to believe Green Bay will win the NFC North,

1278
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 2: not the Lions. We're gonna get into previews on the

1279
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show starting next weekend. Whether that's true, I

1280
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 2: don't know, but that all plays into the fact and

1281
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 2: the reasoning behind why I believe that Aaron Rodgers' return

1282
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 2: is the biggest story this year. I'd love to have

1283
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 2: it here from you on Twitter if you choose to

1284
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 2: opine at Bernie Frattle. The second biggest story, and this

1285
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 2: is under the radar, but it's not gonna be and

1286
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: it'll get rolled in Week one when they host the

1287
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. I'm talking about the Cleveland Browns, who are

1288
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 2: now entering year three of their controversial signing of you know,

1289
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 2: massage enthusiast to Shaun Watson. They're also waiting for a

1290
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 2: return on their two hundred and thirty million dollars guaranteed

1291
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 2: six pick draft investment in the quarterback that they acquired

1292
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 2: well over two years ago. The first year in Cleveland, well,

1293
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 2: Watson had to serve an eleven game suspension for sexual

1294
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 2: misconduct that had taken place while he was in Houston.

1295
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 2: Then he spent the final stretch of the twenty twenty

1296
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 2: two season basically trying to knock off rust. Oh yeah,

1297
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 2: there was a lot of rust. Then in twenty twenty three,

1298
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 2: Watson had a shoulder injury and then he had to

1299
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 2: have surgery that completely derailed to Shawn Watson season last year.

1300
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 2: Who comes off the barker lounger and off the streets Flacco,

1301
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 2: he helps Cleveland reach the playoffs. Well, now we're in

1302
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 2: year three, is this his story? You're damn right. It

1303
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 2: is because both the Shawn Watson and the Browns want

1304
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 2: to and hope they can change their fortunes this season.

1305
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 2: But this is a quarterback who, by the way he

1306
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 2: keeps details of his ongoing recovery to a minimum, might

1307
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: have to ease his way back into action. Training camp

1308
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 2: has kicked off. They're taking it slow the past two seasons.

1309
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, if you watch the film, Sean

1310
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Watson looked very uncomfortable in Kevin Stefanski's offense. Is it

1311
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: because of rust? We're gonna find out this year. This season,

1312
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski hired former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.

1313
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 2: They are hoping that Dorsey can help Watson make a

1314
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 2: jump up the way that Josh Allen thrived under Ken

1315
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 2: Dorsey a couple of years ago in Buffalo. Again, the

1316
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 2: question of the same question I asked about with with

1317
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. Deshaun Watson's gonna return this year? Can he

1318
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 2: ever regain the level he was at? He was a

1319
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,919
Speaker 2: three time Pro Bowl selection, He was an MVP caliber

1320
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 2: player form player early in his career. That is a story.

1321
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 2: Don't tell me it's not Aaron Rodgers returning, Toshaun Watson returning.

1322
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 2: I've got some additional stories, including guys on the sidelines

1323
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 2: and who's really going to be feeling the pressure this year?

1324
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna give you a list of names. And

1325
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 2: you might say, hm, I've never really thought about that,

1326
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 2: but you might be right. This guy is a fixture,

1327
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: but he actually might really be facing some real pressure.

1328
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle who comes to your line from Las Vegas,

1329
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,799
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Tirack dot Com Studios. Keep it locked.

1330
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frownle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1331
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Fratter Show, Fox Sports Radio,

1332
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 2: come to you live from the Tarac dot Com studios

1333
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Take you up to three am Pacific,

1334
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. We are continuing on with the leading

1335
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 2: storylines in the NFL. The season is here Thursday, You've

1336
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 2: got the first Hall of Fame game. Well, the Hall

1337
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 2: of Fame game, you get to drift who else has pressure? Well,

1338
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 2: it may be early, and it may be not top

1339
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 2: of mind for you, but there are a handful of

1340
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 2: coaches that have opened up training camp. Frankly, they're under

1341
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure. And why because they'll have something

1342
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 2: fairly well in common. Their teams have shown promise, some

1343
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 2: have got to the playoffs, some have come close, but

1344
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 2: all of them have fallen short. And you know the

1345
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,919
Speaker 2: game in the NFL, every year they change out seven coaches.

1346
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 2: Patience runs out, changes are made, and that's why. And

1347
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 2: some of these names might surprise you, believe it or not.

1348
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott and Buffalo, Nick Siriotti and Philadelphia, Mike mcdanield

1349
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 2: in Miami, even Doug Peterson and Jacksonville. Conventional wisdom among

1350
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 2: the pundits believe these gentlemen names strong starts this season

1351
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 2: and playoff runs to help ownership forget about the shortcomings

1352
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 2: of their previous seasons. Now the Bills, they still have

1353
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. He's always going to give them a chance

1354
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,839
Speaker 2: to compete, which is about any team. But Buffalo's margin

1355
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 2: of error is really continuing to shrink. Can they keep

1356
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 2: pace with the Chiefs, Can they overcome the Chiefs or

1357
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 2: even the Bengals. You no longer have Stefan Diggs, and yes,

1358
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 2: he'd warn Onos welcome, just like he did Minnesota. But

1359
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:48,640
Speaker 2: for a bit of time there, he gave them that

1360
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 2: elite weapon that was a difference maker. He's gone now,

1361
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 2: By the way, did Sean McDermott's defense have the difference

1362
01:15:56,320 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 2: makers in depth To be a genuine contender in the

1363
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 2: against the likes of the Chiefs and Bengals. Sean McDermott

1364
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 2: is gonna have to keep his team at the front

1365
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 2: of the pack or I think ownership could seek a

1366
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:15,759
Speaker 2: fresh new voice. And part of the reason Josh Allen

1367
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 2: is known as prime years. They don't want to waste those.

1368
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 2: And the Jets are looming. Can you imagine if the

1369
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 2: Jets win the division, they can, If the Jets stay healthy,

1370
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 2: they can. It's the Jets, Buffalo and Miami. I don't

1371
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 2: think New England will be a factor. I think they're

1372
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: gonna fall off a cliff like An and Villain a

1373
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 2: Bugs Bunny cartoon. But the bottom line is the Jets

1374
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,719
Speaker 2: are looming, the Dolphins are looming. That only puts more

1375
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 2: pressure on Sean McDermott's defense and Josh Allen. But Buffalo

1376
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 2: has been used to having their organization beat the front

1377
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 2: of the pack, even though they haven't won one yet.

1378
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 2: I think ownership is watching us closely. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, well,

1379
01:16:55,560 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni, Well, the Super Bowl hangover appears to be

1380
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 2: because in twenty twenty three, after a strong start to

1381
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 2: the season the league, the Eagles barely limped into the

1382
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 2: postseason across the finish line where they were prompably hammered,

1383
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 2: promptly hammered by Baker Mayfield and Company in Tampa Bay. Well,

1384
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni did not take that line down, did he?

1385
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:27,520
Speaker 2: How did he respond? He fired both offensive and defensive coordinators,

1386
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 2: brings in Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio, a couple of

1387
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 2: good names. But here's the flip side of that coin.

1388
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 2: When you change out your coordinators, there's a curve. Will

1389
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 2: it work? It could, but it's theoretical. Vic Fangio is

1390
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: a legendary defensive coordinator, and I think Kellen Moore is

1391
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 2: highly regarded, but he's never been part of an organization

1392
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:58,640
Speaker 2: that want anything. Let's also not forget mainstays elder Statesman

1393
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 2: Key Coggs and leaders like Jason Kelsey. He retired, he's

1394
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 2: no longer with the Eagles. Fletcher Cox is no longer there,

1395
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: so that's a lot to lose. Kin Siriani preside over

1396
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 2: a group, and now there's rumors, and I have no

1397
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 2: idea if they're true, that there may be some disdain

1398
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 2: between Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. I don't know if it's true,

1399
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 2: but it's out there in the ethern of course, give

1400
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 2: it up to Howry Roseman. He did reload with a

1401
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 2: promising draft, very productive in free agency. But Nick Sirianni,

1402
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 2: he has got to rebound in twenty twenty four or

1403
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 2: all things being equal, he's not gonna want to be

1404
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia or they may not want him. Now. Give

1405
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 2: it up to Mike McDaniel. He completely changed the culture

1406
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 2: in Miami for my way of thinking. Tua got paid

1407
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 2: now and the Dolphins, they play a very entertaining brand

1408
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 2: of football under Mike McDaniel, who's become a he's clearly

1409
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 2: established himself as an offensive wizard. But here's the deal.

1410
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 2: When the Dolphins again on the field against elite teams,

1411
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 2: especially in the playoffs, Miami wilts. McDaniel is now on

1412
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 2: his third defensive coordinator in three seasons, So the Dolphins

1413
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 2: have to evolve, They have to deliver a more physical product,

1414
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 2: an effective brand of football in those playoff games as

1415
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 2: supposed to just beating up on losing squads and losing

1416
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 2: to the contenders. Finally, Doug Peterson, he brought a lot

1417
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 2: of stability to Jacksonville after the Urban Mire debacle and

1418
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 2: he had a comeback playoff victory over the Chargers that

1419
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 2: was impressive. But to collapse last year after starting eight

1420
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 2: and three, that's worrisome. And when you watch teams like

1421
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans leap frog Jacksonville, it doesn't bode well

1422
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 2: for Doug Peterson. They're gonna have to start fast. Come

1423
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 2: it up. Give it up to the good folks of

1424
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: Dallas for their insights. They answered a survey. You're here,

1425
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 2: They're frustrations. Keep it locked. The Bernie Frattles Show on

01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 2: this week in Oxnard, California, and as they do so,

1437
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 2: we all know the questions that surround this team. And

1438

Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is in the news every day. Dak Prescotts

1439
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:45,440
Speaker 2: in the news every day, see Lamb, Michael Parsons, Mike McCarthy.

1440
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 2: There are a lot of unknowns. The Cowboys have been

1441
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: good in the regular season, twelve and five in the

1442
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 2: past three regular seasons. And if you want the you know,

1443
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 2: meet the Fokkers regular season, the Cowboys of your team.

1444
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,599
Speaker 2: But Jerry Jones desperately wants to win a Super Bowl

1445
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 2: away from the aura of Jimmy Johnson. Yes, he won

1446
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 2: two with Jimmy Johnson. They unceremoniously parted ways in March

1447
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 2: in ninety four. I think if they'd stayed together, they

1448
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 2: would have won five six Super Bowls with that group.

1449
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 2: I really mean that. But Jerry blew that, you know,

1450
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 2: he said in a banquet allegedly, well any one of

1451
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 2: five hundred coaches could have coached the team. And of

1452
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 2: course that got back to Jimmy didn't go well. And

1453
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 2: why would you do that? Why would you do that?

1454
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 2: Well he did it. Two years later, Barry Switzer managed

1455
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 2: to win a third Super Bowl. But we all know

1456
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 2: that was Jimmy Johnson's players, and Jerry, you know, was

1457
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 2: smart enough to hire a guy he could control, and

1458
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 2: Barry was smart enough to just kind of stay out

1459
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: of the way and let the Cowboys win games, and

1460
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 2: they got their Super Bowl. But that's a long time ago,

1461
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 2: twenty nine years ago, twenty eight years ago. And so

1462
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 2: it's not just the Cowboys and the questions that surround them.

1463
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 2: It's the fan base, a very good fan base, a

1464
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 2: dedicated fan base, you know more. And it's not just

1465
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 2: in Dallas. You may not know, you may not believe this,

1466
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:19,719
Speaker 2: but who watched what franchise, what team in the NFL

1467
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 2: last year had more TV viewers top to bottom, from

1468
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,799
Speaker 2: stem to stern than any other in the National Football

1469
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 2: It was a Dallas Cowboys. They continue to be, whether

1470
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 2: you like it or not, an America's team, whether you

1471
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 2: love or hate them. The opposite of love is not hate,

1472
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 2: because if you hate, you have the same emotion invested

1473
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 2: as love. You hate to see the Cowboys win, you care,

1474
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 2: you're invested. You want to see the Cowboys win. You

1475
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 2: love them, You're invested. They have a broad based fan

1476
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 2: base going back to seventy eight when they were dubbed

1477
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 2: America's team. Because go to a game, there's Cowboy jerseys

1478
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 2: in every away game. More teams watched them. The Chiefs

1479
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 2: were second, a distant second. The truth of the matter

1480
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 2: is the Cowboys are. They're a story. They're an ongoing

1481
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 2: concern and they always have been and probably always will be.

1482
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 2: And their fan base is not confined to Dallas. But

1483
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 2: to get a better feel for how the Cowboys fans

1484
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 2: feel and what frustrates them most, well, the Athletic did

1485
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 2: a survey among those fans and there were eight hundred

1486
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 2: and thirty seven voters who responded to the question on

1487
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 2: the things that frustrate them most, and the majority answered

1488
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 2: it was, of course, owner, general manager, personnel, director, head coach,

1489
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 2: chief cook, and bottle washer Jerry Jones. Let's face it,

1490
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 2: he runs a whole damn thing and it included multiple reasons.

1491
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 2: He said quote. If the GM wasn't Jerry himself, there

1492
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 2: would have been at least five gms fired since the

1493
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 2: nineteen nineties. One response read a good businessman who would

1494
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 2: rather lose while feeding his own ego over hiring experienced

1495
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 2: upper management who we would have had to share credit with.

1496
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 2: Pretty hard to argue with that fan. Another fan wrote, quote,

1497
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 2: Jerry's inability to allow a true, fully focused football mind

1498
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 2: to handle the GM responsibilities. That's what frustrates this fan most. Also,

1499
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 2: the quote continues, he's incompetence when it comes to paying guys,

1500
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 2: for example, when he pays them and who he pays now.

1501
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Other responses mentioned specific players are coaching, but most of

1502
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 2: the fans wrote in in this survey that had a

1503
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 2: theme on the way the franchises run, and these are

1504
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 2: quotes from fans. Says quote, the definition of insanity is

1505
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 2: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

1506
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:54,520
Speaker 2: That sums up the Cowboys. One fan wrote, they continually

1507
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 2: put themselves in bad places with contracts, pushing the money back,

1508
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 2: and that continue he bites them when they could have

1509
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 2: a window to make some moves. Quote. They also refuse

1510
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: to go all in despite they say that's what they

1511
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 2: want to do. We were so excited last year about

1512
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 2: the editions of Brandon Cooks and Stefan Gilmour because it

1513
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 2: was at least something. Drafting and developing is great, but

1514
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 2: you either have to be near perfect in the draft

1515
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,839
Speaker 2: or augment with an actual free agent or big signing

1516
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,680
Speaker 2: on occasion. End quote. Tell me these fans don't have

1517
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 2: their finger on the pulse. Top credit to the good

1518
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 2: people of Dallas who are listening right now and the

1519
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 2: ticket in Dallas to the show on Fox Sports Radio.

1520
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 2: Another fan wrote in and top credit to the athletic

1521
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 2: for taking the time to do this. Another fan wrote

1522
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 2: in quote, the front office does not operate this franchise

1523
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 2: in a manner to be successful on the field. They

1524
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 2: operate this as a business designed to grow the bottom

1525
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 2: line and increase value off. Sales go up and valuation

1526
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 2: goes up. Everything is good and the team is successful.

1527
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 2: They make poor rosters decisions, lack of free agency moves

1528
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,560
Speaker 2: designed to improve the team, and they hold on to

1529
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 2: bad decisions too long. Another fan wrote quote, they have

1530
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 2: no urgency to capitalize on opportunity. I'd rather see them

1531
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 2: go all in and truly contend for a Super Bowl,

1532
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 2: maybe once every four or five years, maybe you have

1533
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 2: some lean years in between. I'd rather watch that than

1534
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 2: be good but not great for the better part of

1535
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 2: a decade. The consistent mediocrity is infuriating. Watching the Eagles

1536
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 2: build up and tear down their roster twice to get

1537
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl with a different quarterback and a

1538
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,759
Speaker 2: different head coaches frustrating. I'm as down on this team

1539
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 2: as I can remember since I first started watching them

1540
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 2: consistently twenty years ago now. In regards to plays on

1541
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 2: the field, there was also some pretty biting criticism quote

1542
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 2: the general lack of toughness, which is obviously a meathead answer.

1543
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 2: A response read see when things go back out in

1544
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 2: a game or during the course of the season. It

1545
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: seems like there's no one that picks the team up

1546
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 2: and writes the ship, so to speak. They need to

1547
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 2: better withstand difficult stretches in games. Not every game is

1548
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 2: going to be a blowout, and they need to figure

1549
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 2: out how to win close games against tougher opponents, thinking

1550
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 2: of the Miami game last season as an example. So

1551
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 2: in total, there was a twelve question survey that received

1552
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 2: one thousand and four responses. However, not every voter did

1553
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 2: provide a response to all twelve questions. But coming up,

1554
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 2: I want to get into these specific questions. These are

1555
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 2: specific questions fans were asked to deal more with the

1556
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 2: granular nature of their expectations of what the Cowboys are

1557
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 2: going to do in this upcoming season. This is the

1558
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 2: important thing they've shared with you. They are the ment

1559
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 2: of the past, some of them going back more than

1560
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 2: twenty years. But let's deal with the here and now,

1561
01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 2: and as Arnie Spaniel likes to say, this show is

1562
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 2: today and as of today, the Cowboys are in camp

1563
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 2: and OX start. So I'm gonna share with you some

1564
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 2: of the fan responses to the questions like how many

1565
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 2: games will the Cowboys win this season? What will happen

1566
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 2: in January? If only one of three Cowboys could be

1567
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 2: on their roster three years from now, who would you

1568
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 2: want it to be? Ceedee Lamb, Michael Parsoner Dak Prescott.

1569
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 2: The answer will surprise you. I promise you that what

1570
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 2: grave did you give the Cowboys for their off season?

1571
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: And we'll get into some of the other ones that

1572
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 2: are pretty damning and pretty biting, but they're important. And again,

1573
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 2: top credit to the good folks in Dallas and the

1574
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,600
Speaker 2: people the athletic for diving into this in such a

1575
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 2: granular fashion. By the way, Fox Sports Radio has teamed

Speaker 2: forty two minutes away from top of the hour two

Speaker 2: am Pacific Volume Easter in the dance Sensation sweep in

1605
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 2: the Nation? What kind of brand new fool you followed by?

1606
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 2: What my name? But among all the tremendous storylines heading

1607
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 2: into this football season are the Dallas Cowboys, and the

1608
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 2: fans have weighed in with some incredibly insightful comments and thoughts,

1609
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 2: looking deep into the travails of this organization, and not

1610
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 2: just this year, the last three years, but going back

1611
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:46,759
Speaker 2: twenty years or even longer. So this survey, in which

1612
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:51,799
Speaker 2: that received over a thousand responses. There were other questions

1613
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:55,559
Speaker 2: that were more direct, like how many games will the

1614
01:30:55,720 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 2: Cowboys win this season? Well, sixty eight percent expected them

1615
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 2: to win ten or more games, so they're great expectations.

1616
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 2: But twenty nine percent expected them to win only eight

1617
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 2: or nine. That's a possibility. What's interesting is this same

1618
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 2: survey was done last January and seventy eight percent said

1619
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 2: ten games or more. That's dropped twelve percent and played

1620
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 2: a game what caused it to drop twelve percent? More

1621
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 2: voters in this current survey also said that he had

1622
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys winning less than eight games. Actually, three percent

1623
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 2: of this respondent thought they'd win less than eight games.

1624
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:41,719
Speaker 2: That means they're going to be seven and eleven, seven

1625
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 2: and ten. Excuse me, what will happen in January? These

1626
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 2: are the responses. Ten percent believe they'll actually reach the

1627
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:54,719
Speaker 2: NFC championship game. Do not count me in that. Thirty

1628
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 2: eight percent thought they would lose in the wild card

1629
01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 2: around thirty one percent of the divisional round. Eight percent

1630
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 2: do not expect him to get to the championship game.

1631
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 2: Except I forgot the other twenty two percent. This is damning.

1632
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 2: Twenty two percent of these Cowboy fans believe they won't

1633
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:14,679
Speaker 2: even make the playoffs. Now, the majority of the people

1634
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 2: believe they'll see a repeat the last season. Things will

1635
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 2: end up in the wild card round. Of all the

1636
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 2: responses that was thirty eight percent. That was the most

1637
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 2: of any category. Hard to argue with that thinking, considering

1638
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 2: the team did very little to upgrade its roster from

1639
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 2: last offseason. And would it surprise me if the Cowboys

1640
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 2: missed the playoffs a little bit? But it wouldn't shock me.

1641
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 2: You can't like the way things are going, all right? This,

1642
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 2: to me, of all the questions that were asked, is

1643
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 2: the most revealing. And if you've listened to my show,

1644
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't dislike Dak Prescott. I just don't want to

1645
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: be in a foxhole with a dude. Regular season quarterback,

1646
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 2: puts up numbers, says nice things, never heard anybody say

1647
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: anything bad about him, he stinks in the playoffs, don't

1648
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 2: act like he doesn't please. So here's the question that

1649
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,640
Speaker 2: it didn't surprise me that much, but I tell you

1650
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:12,839
Speaker 2: what it does raise an eyebrow. They listed three players

1651
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:15,800
Speaker 2: in the survey. If only one of these three could

1652
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 2: still be on the Cowboys three years from now, who

1653
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 2: would it be. Fifty three percent of the votes went

1654
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 2: to one guy. It was not Dak Prescott. It was

1655
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons. I get that. I get that. Thirty five

1656
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 2: percent voted for this gentleman, it was not It was

1657
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 2: not Dak Prescott. It was Ceedee Lamb so eighty eight percent.

1658
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 2: Another respondents said, if only one of these three could

1659
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 2: be on the Cowboys three years from now, who would

1660
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 2: you want up to be? Eighty eight percent did not

1661
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:55,440
Speaker 2: vote for Dak Prescott. Twelve percent did so despite finishing

1662
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,639
Speaker 2: second in MVP voting a year ago. Dak Prescott's approval

1663
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 2: rating is low. It's lower than you would expect. Huh,

1664
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 2: twelve percent, that's pretty damning. Clearly, the team falling short

1665
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 2: in the postseason was a Sniffin factor as to why

1666
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:15,080
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott's you know, rating was so low. You saw

1667
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 2: what Jordan Love does. You saw what Rock Purty does.

1668
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,640
Speaker 2: Of course, you see what Mahomes has done over the years. Okay, well,

1669
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 2: Dak wants to be the height. He wants sixty million

1670
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 2: a year. What are you getting back for that sixty

1671
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 2: million year? Cowboy fans? I know you don't want to

1672
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 2: go back to the Quincy Carter Drew Henson days. I

1673
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 2: get that, But man, you're in limbo. All right. Here's

1674
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 2: another one. This should surprise nobody, Actually, it should surprise everybody.

1675
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 2: What grade would you give the Cowboys for their off season. Okay, well,

1676
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 2: out of a thousand votes, only three gave them an A.

1677
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 2: That surprises me. What would they have done that would

1678
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 2: cause you to give them an A? Sixty three votes

1679
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 2: out of one thousand gave them a B. Two hundred

1680
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 2: and fifty six gave them a C, So what's the point?

1681
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 2: Thirty one percent gave them a C. B OR and

1682
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 2: AFC are better, thirty nine percent gave them a D,

1683
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 2: and twenty nine percent gave them an F. The Cowboys

1684
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 2: have done things in free agency in past years, but

1685
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 2: when you do nothing, virtually nothing in free agency, and

1686
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 2: you don't sign any of their top players to contract extensions,

1687
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 2: how are you gonna give them a good bread? This

1688
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 2: is another damning referendum on the Cowboys. Okay, who's the

1689
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:45,280
Speaker 2: Cowboys most overrated player? And they gave you five choices,

1690
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 2: Deron Bland, Trevon Diggs, Ezekiel Elliott, Micah Parsons, and Dak Prescott.

1691
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 2: Once again, the winner Dak Prescott twenty six percent of

1692
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 2: the votes. Who's the Cowboys most overrated player? That would

1693
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 2: be Dak Prescott. Now I'm a little surprised that Michaeh

1694
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 2: Parson's checked in with fifteen percent of the votes. I

1695
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 2: don't know what to say about that. I like Michaeh Parsons.

1696
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,679
Speaker 2: But it's a surprising result, all right, because not only

1697
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:17,879
Speaker 2: did Dak Prescott take the honors here as the Cowboys

1698
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 2: most overrated player as voted on by the fans in

1699
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,599
Speaker 2: the survey, he received that honor, he got almost one

1700
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 2: hundred more votes than any other player. Wow, who's the

1701
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:33,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys most underrated player? It ended up being Jake Ferguson.

1702
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 2: Pretty clear the Cowboys fans are expecting more out of

1703
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 2: Jake Ferguson. He's entering his third season. He's the clear

1704
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 2: number one tight end. He was second on the team

1705
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 2: in targets. He caught seventy one balls almost eight hundred yards,

1706
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 2: and he probably is underrated. This is another damning if

1707
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:54,599
Speaker 2: you're a Cowboys fan, think about this. If you're a Cowboys, hey,

1708
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:58,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna like this. The survey asked the fans will

1709
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys reached the Super Bowl in the next five years?

1710
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:07,560
Speaker 2: Seventy nine percent said no. Here is the revealing aspect

1711
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 2: all this question and its answer because it contextualizes it

1712
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:16,160
Speaker 2: and it creates an algorithm. The same question was asked

1713
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 2: ninety days ago, fifty six percent said yes, they'll reach

1714
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 2: the super Bowl in the next five years. That's dropped

1715
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,559
Speaker 2: to twenty one percent. Remember the Cowboys haven't played a

1716
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 2: game in the next night last ninety days. That's dramatic.

1717
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 2: So twenty one percent of the fans, that's four out

1718
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 2: of five do not believe the Cowboys. Will you reach

1719
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 2: the super Bowl the next five years? But it was

1720
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,320
Speaker 2: over fifty six percent that said they thought they would

1721
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 2: just ninety days ago. All right, which of these players

1722
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:54,679
Speaker 2: are you confident will have a breakout season? Mazzie Smith,

1723
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 2: Luke Schunmaker, Sam Williams took the honers with forty six percent.

1724
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 2: He's in a great position a breakout year. He's gonna

1725
01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:05,600
Speaker 2: get opportunities to rush the passer. Which rookie you'll have

1726
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 2: the biggest positive impact this season? They believe that it'll

1727
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 2: be Cooper Bebe. Both Tyler Geiitten and Cooper Bby are

1728
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,719
Speaker 2: making moves from positions they played last year in college.

1729
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of upside for both of those guys.

1730
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 2: This is interesting. This might be the weirdest question of

1731
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 2: a whole lot. Who will the Cowboys starting quarterback be

1732
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. Now, not not not this year. Obviously,

1733
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Dak. Who will it be in twenty

1734
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 2: twenty five? Twenty one percent a veteran that's not on

1735
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 2: the current roster, nine percent said someone they draft next April. Now,

1736
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:51,760
Speaker 2: let's spill the beans. Forty six percent they believe it

1737
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:53,920
Speaker 2: will be Dak Prescott, which I kind of believe as

1738
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:57,679
Speaker 2: well to Jenal will probably end up paying them and

1739
01:38:57,760 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 2: they'll have their you know, I don't know what kind

1740
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 2: of regular season they'll have. They'll get their butt kicked

1741
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and that'll be it, and they'll bring

1742
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 2: you back back again and have fun. But this shock me.

1743
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:11,360
Speaker 2: Twenty four percent that's actually entered Trey Lance. Yeah, I

1744
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 2: don't think so. I don't think so. So. The takeaway there,

1745
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 2: despite entering the final year of his contract, nearly half

1746
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:23,640
Speaker 2: the voters are confident will the Cowboys. They'll keep their

1747
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:27,679
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback. They'll get it done somehow and twenty twenty four,

1748
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 2: and they'll keep Dak Prescott beyond the twenty twenty four season.

1749
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 2: Kudos to the athletic and these fans for Yeoman's work

1750
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,800
Speaker 2: and sort of taking us behind the Ivory Tower in

1751
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 2: Dallas to let us know how the fans feel. And

1752
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 2: obviously the you know the group they Gecko Chamber, the

1753
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 2: prevailing wins that you feel blowing of the thousand voters.

1754
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:55,639
Speaker 2: They take it out on Jerry Jones. They believe it's

1755
01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 2: his fault and they believe that the way that the

1756
01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 2: organization's run does not give them confidence. The way the

1757
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 2: organization is operated. The fans, I think they believe they

1758
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 2: have talent on the roster and for some reason they've

1759
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 2: locked the urgency to really capitalize and take advantage of

1760
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 2: the current makeup of this team the last four years,

1761
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:16,639
Speaker 2: the way the Eagles have and the way they would

1762
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:20,479
Speaker 2: you know, by the way, one of the things the

1763
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 2: fans said, and I agree with this, they'd rather have

1764
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 2: them team contend for to legitimately contend for Super Bowl

1765
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 2: every four years and maybe have some lean years in between,

1766
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 2: then watch them consistently, consistently be good but not great

1767
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:37,600
Speaker 2: for the better part of the last ten years. The

1768
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 2: consistent mediocrity is infuriating the fans, especially when they watch

1769
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 2: their division rival the Eagles. They've built up and torn

1770
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 2: down their roster twice. Kudos to Holly Roseman to get

1771
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,600
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl with not only a different quarterback

1772
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 2: but a different head coach. You're watching your rival do

1773
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 2: that and they're saying, what are we doing here? So

1774
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:02,640
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a weird year for the Cowboys.

1775
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 2: And I've said this on previous shows that I'm gonna

1776
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 2: repeat it. I think they're starting the season with the loss.

1777
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,639
Speaker 2: I think they head into Cleveland Week one and they

1778
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:13,720
Speaker 2: get beaten, and if you look at their schedule off

1779
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 2: of that, it doesn't get any easier. And if you

1780
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 2: look at their division, uh, you know, do I think

1781
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:24,800
Speaker 2: the Commanders are gonna do much? No? But do I

1782
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be more competitive than people give you

1783
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 2: credit give them credit for. Yes. Do I think the

1784
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:32,720
Speaker 2: Eagles are gonna be tough? Yes? I do.

1785
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

1786
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 2: This is a division New York Giants, regardless of where

1787
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 2: they are, They're gonna give the Cowboys everything they can handle.

1788
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of pressure there as well. So

1789
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,760
Speaker 2: you have to really consider the fact that the Cowboys,

1790
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 2: well they're gonna have They're in. They're in for it

1791
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,679
Speaker 2: this year. They're just simply in for it. This year

1792
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 2: coming up. The trade deadline is Tuesday in Major League Baseball,

1793
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 2: and the most intriguing team are the Dodgers. Given their

1794
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:06,639
Speaker 2: up and down roller coaster season and the odd ball

1795
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:10,919
Speaker 2: injuries they've had and everything that's fallen, the Dodgers certainly

1796
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 2: have gotten our attention. They what might they do between

1797
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 2: now and Tuesday. We're going to dive into that. We

1798
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 2: know what they want to do. And by the way,

1799
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Orioles who are targeting pitching, well

1800
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 2: they've already gotten the party started bringing up to date

1801
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:30,880
Speaker 2: on Major League Baseball trade deadline rumors and acquisitions and

1802
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 2: where it might go from there. But first we got

1803
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 2: our guy, the chef, for an update. And the performance

1804
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 2: tonight is right for love? You know, want to touch

1805
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,920
Speaker 2: you while the lights don't go to nine?

1806
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 4: Is right for love?

1807
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 9: Love, grave, love so sweet, keep.

1808
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:09,519
Speaker 2: You burn, lock or down. The chef with a very soulful.

1809
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 8: Performing to do that one, Bernie, maybe that one locked away?

1810
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 9: Ready to reveal it today?

1811
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 2: So probably given the advent of the NFL, which starts

1812
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:21,680
Speaker 2: Thursday night, you probably want to save it for that.

1813
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:25,400
Speaker 8: Oh yes, yes, and I cannot wait for football to begin.

1814
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 8: And yeah, we're just uh, we're less than a week

1815
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 8: away right from the Hall of Fame game night, yeahday.

1816
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 2: Night, five pm Pacific. You get the Bears and the Texans.

1817
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll see absolutely no one of note in that game.

1818
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 8: But I am excited, nonetheless for football season to begin,

1819
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 8: and it of course means falls around the corner, which

1820
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,919
Speaker 8: is of course the best time in the sports calendar.

1821
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 8: But a big event going on right now that is,

1822
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 8: of course the Olympic Games. And it's been a rivalry

1823
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 8: between the United States and Australia in the swimming pool,

1824
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 8: but the men of the United States taking old in

1825
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:04,440
Speaker 8: the four by one hundred freestyle relay as the Australians

1826
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 8: claim the silver. But on the women's side of things,

1827
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:11,120
Speaker 8: it is ari rn Titmus of Australia getting the gold

1828
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 8: and Katie Ledecki still mixed the podium, adding to her

1829
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 8: a Leuster's career with a bronze medal. In basketball, Canada

1830
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 8: defeats Grease eighty six to seventy nine, thirty four points

1831
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 8: from Yannis at ten to do compo, but it was

1832
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:32,639
Speaker 8: not enough for the Greeks to take down Canada. France

1833
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 8: over Brazil seventy eight sixty six. Germany blows out Japan

1834
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:38,759
Speaker 8: ninety seven to seventy seven, and the Australians beat Spain

1835
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:42,720
Speaker 8: ninety two to eighty. The United States will play Serbia

1836
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 8: Sunday morning at eleven fifteen Eastern Time. In soccer, Canada's

1837
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 8: women's soccer coach Bev Priestman suspended for using drones to

1838
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 8: spy on opponents closed practices. She's been suspended for a

1839
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:02,719
Speaker 8: year and that's bec because she used drones to spound practices.

1840
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 8: And it was even caught twice this past week in

1841
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 8: France in the practices leading up to the Olympic Games.

1842
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:11,679
Speaker 8: At ESPN were the report saying that the United States

1843
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 8: Soccer Federation aware of a long pattern of similar circumstances

1844
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 8: involving the Canadian teams attempting to view other teams close practices,

1845
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 8: and even a couple of them involved American teams. In

1846
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball, trade deadline is approaching and we had

1847
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,839
Speaker 8: a couple of trades go down on Saturday, the Yankees

1848
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 8: getting Jazz Chisholm Junior from the Miami Marlins in exchange

1849
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 8: for three minor league prospects, the Mets finalizing a trade

1850
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 8: to acquire outfielder Jesse Winkler from the Washington Nationals. That's

1851
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,760
Speaker 8: first reported by ESPN.

1852
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 2: Beck You Berney, all right, chef good stuff is always in.

1853
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 2: We're twenty six minutes away from the crew. Ian and

1854
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:58,439
Speaker 2: Mark and the chef brand new fool what my name?

1855
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 2: More high jinks coming up to dan sensation sweep at

1856
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 2: the Nation. The Yankees won their slug fest Saturday night

1857
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:09,080
Speaker 2: against Boston. In the meantime, they've traded for second basement

1858
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 2: outfielder Jazz Chisholm from They got it from Tampa Bay

1859
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 2: or Miami, one of those Florida teams. I don't know.

1860
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 2: That's the story to watch in New York, Okay, and

1861
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 2: the Yankees, I know we're talking to the Rays about

1862
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,719
Speaker 2: other players, and the Oils are not done. This is actually,

1863
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, true Pennant races have gone the way to Dodoberg.

1864
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:34,679
Speaker 2: They're not like they used to be back in the day.

1865
01:46:35,080 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 2: But you have a legitimate one, I think in the

1866
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 2: National leagu Geese, because I do believe the Orioles and

1867
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,800
Speaker 2: the Yankees will slug it out till the very end.

1868
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:47,000
Speaker 2: And the Oils made a couple moves on Friday, they're

1869
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 2: not done making moves. They're looking at starting pitching, and

1870
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 2: they're willing to even rent a couple. You do the

1871
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 2: rental deal, right Corbyn Burns is going to hit free

1872
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:56,599
Speaker 2: agency at the end of the year, so they might

1873
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,560
Speaker 2: try to rent him for a couple of months. And

1874
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 2: they're also going to probably go after Jack Flurry the

1875
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 2: Tigers and Blake Snell. Snell you don't see a lot

1876
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 2: in trade rumors, but he's got a player option for

1877
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:09,840
Speaker 2: next season and most people believe he won't exercise and

1878
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 2: he'll hit free agency again. By the way, the biggest

1879
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 2: name you're hearing about in all the trade rumors is

1880
01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 2: White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet. You saw him pitch in

1881
01:47:21,160 --> 01:47:24,920
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. He's clearly the top arm available

1882
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 2: in this trade deadline season. As it were, his situation

1883
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 2: became a little more complicated this last week because he

1884
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 2: has some specific desires and how he's going to be

1885
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 2: used for the rest of the season. He's more concerned

1886
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 2: about his health if he stays with the White Sox,

1887
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,799
Speaker 2: so he says he's focused on the White Sox. However,

1888
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 2: if some other contender wants to pick him up, I

1889
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 2: think he's open to that. From what I hear, however,

1890
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 2: he wants to be guaranteed an extension. When you know

1891
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 2: who can do that are the Dodgers? Now, I think

1892
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers after spending a billion dollars basically in the

1893
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 2: last couple of years to bring in all the top

1894
01:48:06,479 --> 01:48:09,519
Speaker 2: talent in the world. And let's face it that, you know,

1895
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 2: whether you like the Dodgers or hate him, they've had

1896
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 2: some real bad luck. I mean, if you're Dustin May,

1897
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:20,719
Speaker 2: you're rehabbing from an injury and you're out to dinner

1898
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden your stomach hurts, and then

1899
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,679
Speaker 2: you have esophagal surgery and you're out for the year.

1900
01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 2: And then of course Clayton Kershaw he made a comeback Thursday.

1901
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:30,960
Speaker 2: It was kind of a feel good moment. And the

1902
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 2: next day you hear about the terrible situation Freddy Freeman

1903
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:34,760
Speaker 2: and his son. He's going to be away from the

1904
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 2: team until next week. Mookie Betts, Max Mounsey. It just

1905
01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:41,680
Speaker 2: doesn't quit with the poor Dodgers, Poor Dodgers. Wait, did

1906
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 2: I just say that? Okay, let me retrack that from

1907
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 2: the record. You're on her. So one of the latest

1908
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:49,720
Speaker 2: on the Dodgers reported trade targets because I think it's

1909
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 2: World Series for busts. They are exploring a bunch of

1910
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 2: big name trade candidates. They want to bolster their pitching staff,

1911
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:00,759
Speaker 2: and they want to bolster their outfield because they really

1912
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 2: do need more offense. They do. Their offense is top heavy,

1913
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 2: and you know that now. Already one of the reported

1914
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:13,719
Speaker 2: outfield targets Randy and Rose Arena. He's off the board.

1915
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:17,400
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay traded him to the Mariners on Friday morning,

1916
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:22,360
Speaker 2: So now maybe the Dodgers zero in on the center

1917
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:26,639
Speaker 2: fielder for the White Sox, Lewis Robert. He's another Dodgers target.

1918
01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 2: But speaking of the White Sox, reports have now started

1919
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 2: to center around the aforementioned Garrett Kroche, the White Sox

1920
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 2: left hander. The Dodgers have been consistently linked to observing

1921
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 2: and perhaps trading for him, and Garrett Crochet has said

1922
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 2: he can sit out the postseason unless he signs a

1923
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 2: contract extension. Well, that can complicate his trade value, but

1924
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 2: the Dodgers general manager Brandon Gohme said, hey, we're looking

1925
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 2: to add an impact type arm to the rotation, and

1926
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 2: if Crochet goes somewhere else, then the Dodgers' opportunities for

1927
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:08,879
Speaker 2: that shrink. So I believe absolutely the Dodgers could easily

1928
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 2: meet well maybe not easily, but I believe they could

1929
01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 2: meet Garrett Crochet's demands if they want to. Now. For

1930
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 2: the past few weeks, Dodgers have been also interested in

1931
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 2: Tarik Schooble, the Detroit Tigers Ace. It's unlikely he's going

1932
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 2: to be dealt, but I think the Dodgers still aren't done.

1933
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 2: They might target another Detroit pitcher. He's a right hander,

1934
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:35,639
Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty. They've got a better chance of getting Flarerty,

1935
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 2: I believe. And by the way, Flarity is a is

1936
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 2: a legit strikeout pitcher. He's got an ER and ER three.

1937
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,439
Speaker 2: But the reason I believe the Dodgers could get him,

1938
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:46,559
Speaker 2: he's going to be a free agent next year and

1939
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 2: the Tigers need to bolster their you know, the depth

1940
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 2: as it were. Okay, I don't know if they have

1941
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 2: a hell of a lot of minor league depth. By

1942
01:50:56,560 --> 01:51:00,120
Speaker 2: the way, A's closer Mason Miller, a guy who has

1943
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:03,800
Speaker 2: been very much under the radar. He is now being

1944
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:08,600
Speaker 2: bannied about as a potential target for the Dodgers, and

1945
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 2: it's for about the last week or so. In case

1946
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 2: you don't know who Mason Miller is, you may have

1947
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:18,360
Speaker 2: seen him in the All Star Game striking out Shohil Tani.

1948
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:20,920
Speaker 2: I think is a fastball clocked at one hundred and

1949
01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:23,760
Speaker 2: four miles an hour that night. He's currently on the

1950
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 2: injured list. He fractured his pinky finger in his left hand,

1951
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:30,360
Speaker 2: but it's his left hand. I think he slugged the

1952
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 2: table or something. There's a chance that he may not

1953
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:35,000
Speaker 2: be dealt. If I were the Dodgers, that would not

1954
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 2: let that stop me. The Dodgers' bullpen has been okay

1955
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 2: this year, not been bad, but they don't have a

1956
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 2: legitimate closer from what I have seen. So it starts

1957
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:52,000
Speaker 2: to get interesting because we have seen throughout the years

1958
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:59,920
Speaker 2: teams bolster their roster at the trade line, and those

1959
01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:02,559
Speaker 2: guys have helped them carry them over the hump. I

1960
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 2: mean to me to this day. The most famous acquisition

1961
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:08,240
Speaker 2: of all time was in nineteen eighty seven when the

1962
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:13,360
Speaker 2: Tigers acquired Doyle Alexander down the stretch. He went seven

1963
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 2: to zero, got the Tigers into the postseason, but then

1964
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 2: the best laid plans and Tigers lost to an upstart

1965
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:24,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota Twins team. And meanwhile, who was the key protagonist

1966
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:28,559
Speaker 2: trade John Smoltz went to Atlanta and people never forgave

1967
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:31,759
Speaker 2: the Tigers. But John Smoltz at that time was buried

1968
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 2: in DOUBLEA with Detroit, and I'm not so sure Sparky

1969
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:36,879
Speaker 2: was ever gonna get m a chance. So the future

1970
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:38,960
Speaker 2: is now when it comes to trying to win a

1971
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:42,200
Speaker 2: pennant and in the major leagues. And who knows that

1972
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 2: better than aj Preller, who's always made you know, he's

1973
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:49,640
Speaker 2: of course the Potters general manager. He's always looking to

1974
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 2: make a splash. Potters are pretty good. They stuffed Baltimore again.

1975
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,160
Speaker 2: They're closing the lead on the Dodgers. Might they catch

1976
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:58,439
Speaker 2: the Dodgers? Well, they were within striking distance. I'm not

1977
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:01,559
Speaker 2: predicting that they're in the market for pitching because of

1978
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:04,680
Speaker 2: the absences of Joe Musgrove. He's working his way back

1979
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 2: from elbow inflammation. You darvish, he's on the restricted list.

1980
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:12,519
Speaker 2: He's dealing with a personal situation. So the BJ Peler

1981
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:15,040
Speaker 2: and the Potteries are not going to stand pat Who

1982
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:19,600
Speaker 2: are they after? According to the Athletic, they're targeting Jamison

1983
01:53:19,680 --> 01:53:23,759
Speaker 2: talent from the Cubs talent, another big time strikeout pitcher

1984
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:27,160
Speaker 2: with an EER and ER three talent, does have two

1985
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:29,960
Speaker 2: more seasons than thirty six million dollars remaining on his contract.

1986
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:34,639
Speaker 2: But the Cubs, I think, are you know, mathematically they're

1987
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:40,280
Speaker 2: not the wild card race, but I think their chances

1988
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:42,879
Speaker 2: are you know, slim and none, and Slim just left town.

1989
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:44,840
Speaker 2: The Cubs are not going to be a playoff team.

1990
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:48,880
Speaker 2: So I think there'll be a furious fight between now

1991
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 2: and the deadline on Tuesday for the rich to try

1992
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,479
Speaker 2: to get a little richer, to try to bolster, to

1993
01:53:56,520 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 2: try to get over the hump and try to get

1994
01:53:58,680 --> 01:54:01,559
Speaker 2: that player who might be that difference maker to get

1995
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 2: you into the postseason and then become a bellcout in

1996
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:09,920
Speaker 2: the postseason. But listen, nothing's guaranteed, man, so we'll have

1997
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:14,479
Speaker 2: to wait and see what happens coming up. Give it

1998
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:19,800
Speaker 2: up to Tua, Give it up to Jordan Love. They

1999
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:22,240
Speaker 2: got the bag this week, didn't they, And good for them.

2000
01:54:22,280 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 2: I think they deserved it. But these things don't happen

2001
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:28,720
Speaker 2: in a vacuum. Every time something like this happens, there are,

2002
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:34,280
Speaker 2: in fact residual effects. What are those residual effects? Sure

2003
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:36,920
Speaker 2: that coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're company lyon from

2004
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tirack dot Com studios.

01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:41,840

Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio. We are coming to

2008
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:52,040
Speaker 2: you live from the Tarak dot Com studios here in

2009
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. We're just ten minutes away from the dance

2010
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 2: Sensation sweep of the nation. You know what you love

2011
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:00,960
Speaker 2: you? You cantley without it? What kind of brand new fool

2012
01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 2: you followed by? What my name? Oh man? I got

2013
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:07,760
Speaker 2: a doozy again this week and it's related to a

2014
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 2: fast food restaurant and some employees who clearly had their

2015
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 2: heads up there took us Well, we'll get to that

2016
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 2: coming up. The Miami Dolphins made big headlines this past

2017
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 2: Tuesday by extending their franchise quarterback or it might have

2018
01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 2: been Thursday. What does it matter at all? Melts together

2019
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 2: to a tagabaloa to a four year, two hundred and

2020
01:55:30,560 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 2: twelve million dollar extension which also includes one hundred and

2021
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 2: sixty seven million dollars guaranteed. That news didn't take long

2022
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 2: to be served by other news When Jordan Love signed

2023
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:47,720
Speaker 2: a deal with the Green Bay Packers that once again

2024
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 2: reset the quarterback market. Love signed a four year deal

2025
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 2: for two hundred and twenty million, which now ties Cincinnati's

2026
01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence has the highest paid

2027
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:06,200
Speaker 2: quarterback in terms of average annual value, which would be

2028
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 2: fifty five million dollars a year. TUA comes in into

2029
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:15,200
Speaker 2: distant fourth now at fifty three million a year, behind

2030
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:17,960
Speaker 2: the trio of signal callers. So when Aaron Rodgers, by

2031
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:22,520
Speaker 2: the way, heard about Jordan Love getting the bag, he said, Hey,

2032
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 2: I'm happy for him. Don't spend it all in one place.

2033
01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:27,080
Speaker 2: And whenst sure in the market for our house by

2034
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 2: our houses for sale in Green Bay. Okay, Aaron, nicely done.

2035
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 2: Erin ever the entertainer. So what are the residual effects? Okay,

2036
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 2: there are always residual effects. Two, it gets the money

2037
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 2: well deserved. Happy for the guy. He's experienced a lot

2038
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 2: of ups and downs in his NFL career. He had

2039
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 2: concussions issues. Try that again in English. He had concussion issues.

2040
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 2: That was fairly scary. He contemplated retirement, ankle issues, hip issues.

2041
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 2: Two years later to a fresh off leading the NFL

2042
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:04,720
Speaker 2: in passing yards through for almost forty seven hundred yards

2043
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 2: last year. He gets his nice new contract. Life is

2044
01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 2: good for Tua, Life is good for Jordan Love who

2045
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:15,080
Speaker 2: finished second in the NFL and touchdown passes or the

2046
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 2: residual effects now, well you know what they are. Who's

2047
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 2: standing by Dak Prescott. Prescott might have felt he needed

2048
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:27,040
Speaker 2: more leverage in his negotiation with the Cowboys. He's already

2049
01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 2: got a no trade clause, a no franchise tag clause,

2050
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 2: and fifty five million in cap hit in twenty twenty four,

2051
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:35,280
Speaker 2: giving him everything he needs now to get a massive

2052
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 2: deal from Jerry Jones. Every little bit helps Jared Goffsworth's

2053
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:42,400
Speaker 2: fifty three million a year to his fifty three million

2054
01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:45,520
Speaker 2: a year. How much does Dak Prescott believe and his

2055
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:49,560
Speaker 2: people believe he's worth. After leading the league in touchdown

2056
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,920
Speaker 2: passes with thirty six and finishing second in QBR in

2057
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:56,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, we already know he screws the pooch

2058
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. He's a terrible cop, but he's a

2059
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:02,600
Speaker 2: terrible playoff quarterback. That doesn't matter, though, When you set

2060
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:07,520
Speaker 2: the quarterback salary market, it's slotted. It's based on a

2061
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:10,280
Speaker 2: popularity contest and what your age you can get, not

2062
01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 2: what you did on the field. As you heard me

2063
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 2: say on the top of the show three hours ago,

2064
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:18,600
Speaker 2: guess what. The top nine paid quarterbacks in the NFL

2065
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:21,760
Speaker 2: now have one thing in common. None of them have

2066
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:25,520
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl. By the way, the Eagles looking

2067
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:29,880
Speaker 2: like heroes as well. They inked Jalen Hurts in April

2068
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three to a five year contract in

2069
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:35,680
Speaker 2: fifty one million per Well, Howy Roseman does what he

2070
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:38,919
Speaker 2: always does, even though people see it. Can't pay everyone

2071
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 2: he does. But Hirts is now the eleventh highest paid

2072
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 2: quarterback and they may go to the Super Bowl this year.

2073
01:58:44,880 --> 01:58:49,200
Speaker 2: By the way, Howy Roseman also proves you can't pay everyone. Yeah,

2074
01:58:49,440 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 2: don't tell Howie that He's got eleven players on his

2075
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 2: league that are in the top ten in their position,

2076
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:59,200
Speaker 2: including Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, DeVante Smith, Dallas God, do

2077
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:02,560
Speaker 2: I think Phillies going to win? Lane Johnson, Jordan Malatta,

2078
01:59:03,040 --> 01:59:06,480
Speaker 2: Landon Dickerson. Look out, Dallas, Philly's coming. But she already

2079
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:09,240
Speaker 2: knew that. Keep it locked, brand new, fool of what

2080
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:11,280
Speaker 2: my name? We're up next to Bernie Fratles Show Fox

Speaker 2: know what, you love it? You can't leave without it.

2093
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 2: You see Yogi Berra once said you can observe a

2094
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:52,320
Speaker 2: lot by watching, and that's what we do because around

2095
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 2: this great land of ours, from sea to oily Sea,

2096
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 2: and even around the globe of the planet, well, people

2097
01:59:58,440 --> 02:00:02,560
Speaker 2: like to engage in activities. And I know this. I

2098
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:04,720
Speaker 2: was in London in May and I saw some stuff.

2099
02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:07,440
Speaker 2: I was in Paris the same week, saw some stuff.

2100
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 2: So we know that around the world people like to

2101
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 2: frolic and sometimes they're activities. Well they're just innocuous, They're

2102
02:00:14,320 --> 02:00:17,520
Speaker 2: silly and stupid. No harm, no foul. Other times they

2103
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,240
Speaker 2: are far more serious. Other times they're even more serious

2104
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 2: than that. They can land you in jail or worse.

2105
02:00:24,720 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 2: But any way you describe it, any way you observe it,

2106
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 2: any way you analyze it, all of these behaviors always

2107
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:38,000
Speaker 2: leave you scratching your head and asking yourself, what kind

2108
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:39,160
Speaker 2: of brand new fool are you?

2109
02:00:45,200 --> 02:00:49,040
Speaker 4: So? What kind of brand new fool are you?

2110
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Well, this falls under the category. You know, the famous

2111
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:59,200
Speaker 2: actress Lily Tomlin once said, I always wanted to be somebody,

2112
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:05,120
Speaker 2: which had been more specific. So you want to be somebody?

2113
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Maybe not this way. Let's take it in Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee,

2114
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:14,240
Speaker 2: recently under the drop of the chiloopa headline sort of

2115
02:01:14,400 --> 02:01:21,040
Speaker 2: kind of you see, it appears that one evening somebody

2116
02:01:21,200 --> 02:01:26,680
Speaker 2: called the Nashville Fire Department to report a fire, the

2117
02:01:26,680 --> 02:01:32,040
Speaker 2: fact that a tackle bell was on fire. But that

2118
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:35,800
Speaker 2: doesn't even begin to tell the story. After the dust

2119
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:39,720
Speaker 2: had settled and people had began to report on and

2120
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:45,200
Speaker 2: observe the surveillance footage as to what the hell happened. Well,

2121
02:01:45,240 --> 02:01:49,760
Speaker 2: the surveillance footage captured employees causing the fire inside the

2122
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:55,720
Speaker 2: restaurant because they were playing with fireworks inside the restaurant.

2123
02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 2: All fun and games. So someone loses an eye. But

2124
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:02,480
Speaker 2: this is worse than that. According to the surveillance footage,

2125
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 2: the employees can be seen locking the doors to the

2126
02:02:05,920 --> 02:02:09,240
Speaker 2: dining room to keep customers from entering the business. Now

2127
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:12,000
Speaker 2: that's always good for the bottom line. The video then

2128
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 2: shows the employees running around the inside of the store

2129
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:19,960
Speaker 2: with fireworks in their hands. At one point, the employees

2130
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:22,320
Speaker 2: go into the men's room well because they want to

2131
02:02:22,320 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 2: stay out of the camera site for a bit of time.

2132
02:02:24,800 --> 02:02:28,440
Speaker 2: A rush of consciousness. The employees then returned to the

2133
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:31,080
Speaker 2: lobby a few minutes later and they placed an item

2134
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:34,200
Speaker 2: in the trash can near the door. At that point,

2135
02:02:34,280 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 2: the fire took off. Employers are seen using their cell

2136
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:41,160
Speaker 2: phone cameras to record the trash from outside the restaurant

2137
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:45,000
Speaker 2: because they were a little worried. Say what, But then

2138
02:02:45,040 --> 02:02:49,920
Speaker 2: they realized they'd locked themselves out of the restaurant. As

2139
02:02:49,960 --> 02:02:52,839
Speaker 2: the employees tried unsuccessfully to get back into the store,

2140
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:56,960
Speaker 2: that's when panic set in. Someone called nine to one

2141
02:02:57,120 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 2: one the Natural Fire Department for reporting that the taco

2142
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:07,120
Speaker 2: bell was on fire. Wow, they were the employers that called. Yes,

2143
02:03:08,280 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 2: the firefighters arrived on the scene, they forced their enter

2144
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:14,800
Speaker 2: into the restaurant. They extinguished the fire. The damage was significant.

2145
02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:18,960
Speaker 2: Investigators found damage inside the men's room that's where the

2146
02:03:18,960 --> 02:03:22,280
Speaker 2: fireworks were ignited. In the men's room. Trash can damages

2147
02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:26,040
Speaker 2: were expected to be around thirty forty thousand dollars. Now,

2148
02:03:26,080 --> 02:03:31,320
Speaker 2: the investigation is continuing and there's already been one arrest.

2149
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:34,160
Speaker 2: There's going to be more arrests. But the key arrest

2150
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:36,760
Speaker 2: was I won't give her last name, someone by the

2151
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 2: name of Courtney who has been charged with felony aggravated assault. Yeah,

2152
02:03:42,160 --> 02:03:44,240
Speaker 2: enjoy your time behind bars. Hope you look good and

2153
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:47,280
Speaker 2: strikes the orange jumpsuits. I think that's where you're going

2154
02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:51,480
Speaker 2: to be sleeping for a while. The National Fire Department

2155
02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:54,120
Speaker 2: was none too pleased about this. They went on to

2156
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:57,680
Speaker 2: remark that quote arson is one of the costliest human

2157
02:03:57,720 --> 02:04:02,280
Speaker 2: made disasters and indirectly can trebuts to increased insurance premiums.

2158
02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 2: That's you and me, baby, hire medical costs, lost jobs,

2159
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:11,160
Speaker 2: lost income, and increased cost of fire services. Not to mention,

2160
02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 2: all I wanted to do is get my tacos, beans

2161
02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 2: and rice, and I got denied that doesn't make me

2162
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 2: happy either. But Courtney and the group a taco bill

2163
02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:24,360
Speaker 2: in Nashville fireworks time, I don't think so. What kind

2164
02:04:24,360 --> 02:04:31,400
Speaker 2: of brand new fools are you? The chef? What you got, Bud?

2165
02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:32,200
Speaker 9: All right?

2166
02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 8: So we go up to the Emerald City, Seattle, where

2167
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 8: an unidentified suspect decided to steal a fire truck that

2168
02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:43,320
Speaker 8: was responding to a medical emergency.

2169
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:45,919
Speaker 9: However, he did encounter a problem.

2170
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:47,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't in Naturville, was it, I No, it was

2171
02:04:47,960 --> 02:04:52,120
Speaker 2: in Seattle, so he thought there might be a connection, sorry, chef.

2172
02:04:52,240 --> 02:04:55,160
Speaker 8: So the fire truck responding to a medical emergency, and

2173
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:58,720
Speaker 8: this unidentified twenty two year old man decided it would

2174
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 8: be a good idea to steal that fire truck. But

2175
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:04,000
Speaker 8: he did not make it very far you know why.

2176
02:05:04,680 --> 02:05:08,160
Speaker 8: He forgot to disengage the parking brake, so you only

2177
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 8: made it around the corner before he exited the vehicle

2178
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 8: and was promptly arrested by police, saying the Seattle Fire

2179
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:17,880
Speaker 8: Department did say that the person who the fire truck

2180
02:05:17,920 --> 02:05:21,280
Speaker 8: was originally therefore did receive the care they need. So eventually,

2181
02:05:21,280 --> 02:05:24,120
Speaker 8: no harm, no foul, But man stealing a fire truck

2182
02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:26,680
Speaker 8: responding to an emergency and then forgetting to disscates some

2183
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:29,280
Speaker 8: parking break so you couldn't even make it very far. So,

2184
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 8: unidentified twenty two year old man in Seattle, what kind

2185
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:33,840
Speaker 8: of brand new fool are you?

2186
02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:36,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good one. I got to tell you, Chef.

2187
02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:38,960
Speaker 2: You've probably heard me say it a thousand times. If

2188
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:40,920
Speaker 2: you're going to take the time to steal a fire truck,

2189
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 2: learn how to drive it right, take fire truck driving

2190
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 2: or something, and acknowledge the the parking brake on a

2191
02:05:49,320 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 2: fire truck. So we've got a taco bell that needed

2192
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:54,520
Speaker 2: a fire truck. We've got someone in Seattle who stole

2193
02:05:54,600 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 2: a fire truck. My man Ian Roddy, you're a veteran

2194
02:05:58,520 --> 02:06:03,800
Speaker 2: at this game. The fire Marshall Bill theme continue here.

2195
02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:06,560
Speaker 9: No, it does not. Mine has nothing to do with fire,

2196
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,560
Speaker 9: you know, fortunately or unfortunately however you want to take that.

2197
02:06:09,680 --> 02:06:13,080
Speaker 9: But my story begins in Rock Rapids, Iowa.

2198
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,800
Speaker 2: Oh beautiful, I get a bed and breakfast. Here now

2199
02:06:15,920 --> 02:06:16,920
Speaker 2: is if I would know? Go ahead?

2200
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:21,000
Speaker 9: Well, cops were patrolling in the area when they spotted

2201
02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 9: a Ford Fusion driving erratically, so they pulled the car over, naturally,

2202
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:29,920
Speaker 9: doing their jobs to find a man later identified as

2203
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:33,680
Speaker 9: thirty three year old Joe Vada now Vada. When they

2204
02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:36,280
Speaker 9: pulled him over, he was wearing sunglasses and you know,

2205
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:39,400
Speaker 9: despite the fact that it was overcast and the sun

2206
02:06:39,520 --> 02:06:42,280
Speaker 9: was going down, so not much reason to be wearing sunglasses,

2207
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:46,120
Speaker 9: and his breast smelled of alcohol ool, So it didn't

2208
02:06:46,160 --> 02:06:49,520
Speaker 9: take long for the cops to figure out why his

2209
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:51,680
Speaker 9: breast smelled like alcohol, as there was an open can

2210
02:06:51,720 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 9: of beer sitting in the center console and a bunch

2211
02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:57,920
Speaker 9: more alcohol in the back along with methamphetamine. So by

2212
02:06:57,960 --> 02:07:01,160
Speaker 9: this point Viada was fully and true busted, but in

2213
02:07:01,200 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 9: an apparent last ditch effort to avoid getting in trouble

2214
02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:08,520
Speaker 9: or something, he handed the cops a fake Minnesota State

2215
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 9: I D, maybe trying to throw him off his scent

2216
02:07:11,360 --> 02:07:15,320
Speaker 9: or something, but unfortunately the ID was a bit less

2217
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 9: than convincing. Why well, for starters, it listed him as

2218
02:07:18,880 --> 02:07:24,640
Speaker 9: being eight feet tall, and the real Joe Vida is

2219
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:27,480
Speaker 9: reportedly five foot eight, and the cops, oh, you know,

2220
02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:29,960
Speaker 9: they see that for themselves, so it wasn't a very

2221
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:33,080
Speaker 9: convincing Ida that he handed them, So, needless to say,

2222
02:07:33,120 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 9: he's now facing even more charges. And it turned out

2223
02:07:36,320 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 9: that Vida was actually wanted in another Iowa county for

2224
02:07:39,120 --> 02:07:42,360
Speaker 9: failing to show up in court for a previous dui charge.

2225
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:46,080
Speaker 9: So this guy is just drowning in charges now, so,

2226
02:07:46,160 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 9: needless to say, facing even more And Joe Vida, what

2227
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:50,760
Speaker 9: kind of brand new fool are you?

2228
02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:55,400
Speaker 2: Eight feet tall? You had me at eight feet tall.

2229
02:07:55,840 --> 02:08:00,360
Speaker 2: It turns out he sucks at basketball too, so he's

2230
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:02,760
Speaker 2: a man of many talents, all right, he in, Great job, buddy.

2231
02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:05,120
Speaker 2: What was that rock Rapids Iowa?

2232
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:07,560
Speaker 9: Something rock something, rock rapids Iowa.

2233
02:08:07,640 --> 02:08:10,040
Speaker 2: Yes, rock paper scissors Iowa. Something like that.

2234
02:08:10,120 --> 02:08:11,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, that works, same thing.

2235
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Right, good, good job, buddy. I love that we're getting

2236
02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:17,120
Speaker 2: to these obscure, exotic places around the planet. I think

2237
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 2: I think he in. This might be the third week

2238
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:23,320
Speaker 2: in a row a new record where we did not

2239
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:26,920
Speaker 2: have a brand new fool candidate from the great state

2240
02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:27,400
Speaker 2: of Florida.

2241
02:08:27,920 --> 02:08:31,160
Speaker 9: Oh wow, that's a great point, Burt. I'll be quiet

2242
02:08:31,200 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 9: down there right now. Yes, they're on their best behavior

2243
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:35,200
Speaker 9: at this time of year.

2244
02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:39,760
Speaker 2: I guess. Yes, you remember chef for a long time, Oh,

2245
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:42,480
Speaker 2: we always had one. At least we were nearing Joe

2246
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:46,800
Speaker 2: Demodule's fifth inning Street for Grandout out. All right, great job, guys,

2247
02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:52,480
Speaker 2: great job. That'll, of course conclude another rousing addition of

2248
02:08:52,520 --> 02:08:54,280
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you, which now

2249
02:08:54,320 --> 02:08:57,680
Speaker 2: allows us to segue into our our second favorite bit, lovingly,

2250
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:03,640
Speaker 2: what my name? All right? In about six hours and

2251
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:06,520
Speaker 2: four minutes, if they hit off on time, the USA

2252
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:11,440
Speaker 2: men's basketball team in Paris will begin their defense of

2253
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,520
Speaker 2: their gold medal, and they are hoping to have a

2254
02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 2: certain gentleman on the floor. But I digress. Let's have

2255
02:09:19,720 --> 02:09:23,760
Speaker 2: a little trivia involving the US men's Olympic basketball I

2256
02:09:23,840 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 2: am the US men's Olympic all time scorer for the

2257
02:09:28,280 --> 02:09:30,920
Speaker 2: men's basketball team in the Olympics. That's the Department of

2258
02:09:30,960 --> 02:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Redundancy department. I asked that question a clunky fashion, but

2259
02:09:34,360 --> 02:09:37,200
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, I think you get the gist. What my name?

2260
02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:39,760
Speaker 9: Oh, what's the question again? I'm sorry?

2261
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:42,960
Speaker 2: All right, I'm the all time leading scorer for the

2262
02:09:43,080 --> 02:09:45,839
Speaker 2: US men's Olympics basketball team. What my name.

2263
02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:48,560
Speaker 9: Is that Lebron James.

2264
02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:52,560
Speaker 2: It is not Lebron James. I'm the all time leading

2265
02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:55,920
Speaker 2: scorer for the US men's Olympic basketball team. The chef

2266
02:09:55,960 --> 02:09:57,040
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyrett. What my name?

2267
02:09:57,080 --> 02:09:59,240
Speaker 8: If I remember reading this a short time ago. I

2268
02:09:59,280 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 8: think it's Kevin Iran.

2269
02:10:00,880 --> 02:10:04,200
Speaker 2: It is Kevin, and I mentioned it earlier in the

2270
02:10:04,240 --> 02:10:07,640
Speaker 2: show twice twice. But all good, all right.

2271
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:10,600
Speaker 9: Hey, is it not Carmelo Anthony though, because he's been

2272
02:10:10,640 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 9: to like a million Olympics, that's really surprising to me that.

2273
02:10:13,600 --> 02:10:15,320
Speaker 2: Was gonna be. You can look it up in fact

2274
02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:15,680
Speaker 2: check me.

2275
02:10:15,760 --> 02:10:16,440
Speaker 9: No, I believe you.

2276
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:19,400
Speaker 2: It's cool. I mean every now and every now in

2279
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:29,400
Speaker 2: nine point percenture, But go ahead and look it up.

2280
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:32,640
Speaker 2: But because that's a good one, you'd wonder where Carmelo is.

2281
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm not a Carmelo fan. I'm just saying, all right,

Speaker 2: I played more. Let's let's flip to baseball. I played

Speaker 2: played more games than anybody in the history of Major

02:11:22,640 --> 02:11:24,840
Speaker 2: Not Willie Mays. Let's see you can yell at first?

2297
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:27,400
Speaker 2: His nickname was Charlie Hustle.

2298
02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 9: Pete Rose.

2299
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:31,440
Speaker 2: Part of the reason I brought that up. I don't

2300
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:33,080
Speaker 2: know if you guys have had a chance to sample

2301
02:11:33,120 --> 02:11:36,240
Speaker 2: the four part series of Pete Rose that broke on

2302
02:11:36,600 --> 02:11:43,680
Speaker 2: HBO this past week. Outstanding, just outstanding. And Pete course

2303
02:11:43,720 --> 02:11:45,520
Speaker 2: lives here in Vegas. Have met him a couple of times.

2304
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 2: I like Pete, but he's had his ups and downs.

2305
02:11:48,240 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 2: All right, Pete Rose, Let's go to the w NBA.

2306
02:11:53,200 --> 02:11:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm the oldest player to have ever appeared in a

2307
02:11:57,720 --> 02:12:01,600
Speaker 2: w NBA game. Here's a clue. It was back in

2308
02:12:01,600 --> 02:12:03,800
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight for the Detroit Shock and I

2309
02:12:03,840 --> 02:12:07,400
Speaker 2: was fifty years old. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2310
02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 9: Did Lisa Leslie ever play for them?

2311
02:12:11,680 --> 02:12:16,160
Speaker 2: No good effort on the name, though. I'm the oldest

2312
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:19,760
Speaker 2: player to have ever appeared in a w NBA game

2313
02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:22,839
Speaker 2: at the age of fifty the chef Kevin Wyrett.

2314
02:12:22,840 --> 02:12:25,520
Speaker 9: What my name Cheryl Miller? That I don't think, so

2315
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:27,120
Speaker 9: that's who I'm going to guess, Sharyl at old.

2316
02:12:27,160 --> 02:12:31,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, she did not she. This is again we're

2317
02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:34,840
Speaker 2: looking for the name of an individual who was the

2318
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:40,040
Speaker 2: oldest appeared in a WNBA game at the most advanced age.

2319
02:12:40,080 --> 02:12:43,240
Speaker 2: So here's the question again. I'm the oldest player who

2320
02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:45,360
Speaker 2: have ever played in the WNBA. I did it at

2321
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 2: fifty years old for the Detroit Shock back in two

2322
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:49,560
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Ian Roddy, what my.

2323
02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:56,800
Speaker 9: Name fifty years old? Is up there? Man? It couldn't

2324
02:12:56,840 --> 02:12:58,760
Speaker 9: be super Bird, She's.

2325
02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:01,280
Speaker 2: That super She would have been fifteen old light. But

2326
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:04,280
Speaker 2: that's still a good guess. You guys should remember this name.

2327
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:08,680
Speaker 2: I'm betting that you do. Nancy Lieberman, Remember Nancy. Yeah,

2328
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:10,400
Speaker 2: she used to come on our show in Detroit all

2329
02:13:10,400 --> 02:13:13,720
Speaker 2: the time. She's outstanding and one of the great forerunners

2330
02:13:13,880 --> 02:13:17,080
Speaker 2: and great players in the history of women's basketball. Are

2331
02:13:17,080 --> 02:13:20,120
Speaker 2: about all of basketball for that matter. All right, NFL

2332
02:13:20,160 --> 02:13:24,200
Speaker 2: training camps are in camp department of redundancy department. Again,

2333
02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:31,040
Speaker 2: I am among try that again. Among current NFL head coaches,

2334
02:13:31,640 --> 02:13:35,680
Speaker 2: I have the most playoff wins. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2335
02:13:38,120 --> 02:13:39,560
Speaker 9: Most playoff wins?

2336
02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:44,200
Speaker 2: The coach from Pittsburgh, that would be Mike Tomlin. But

2337
02:13:44,240 --> 02:13:49,200
Speaker 2: that's not the answer. This is among current NFL head coaches,

2338
02:13:49,200 --> 02:13:52,000
Speaker 2: I have the most playoff wins at twenty six. The

2339
02:13:52,080 --> 02:13:53,400
Speaker 2: chef Kevin Wyrett went my name?

2340
02:13:53,600 --> 02:14:00,680
Speaker 8: Twenty six playoff wins? Yes, sir, that's a tough Sean Payton.

2341
02:14:01,800 --> 02:14:05,440
Speaker 2: Good guests, but not Sean Payton. Among current NFL head coaches,

2342
02:14:05,480 --> 02:14:08,520
Speaker 2: I have the most playoff wins at twenty six. Ian Roddy,

Speaker 2: what my name?

2344
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:12,560
Speaker 9: I'm gonna take the low hanging fruit and guess Andy Reid.

2345
02:14:12,720 --> 02:14:16,480
Speaker 2: You got it? My man Reid. Remember he had a

2346
02:14:16,560 --> 02:14:19,560
Speaker 2: lot of success with Philadelphia before that he did with

2347
02:14:19,600 --> 02:14:22,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, got the Eagles to the Super Bowl, lost

2348
02:14:22,320 --> 02:14:24,720
Speaker 2: to New England, and then he's got into the Chiefs

2349
02:14:24,720 --> 02:14:29,720
Speaker 2: to four Super Bowls. All right, I'm the son of

2350
02:14:29,800 --> 02:14:33,480
Speaker 2: a former Major League baseball player, very prominent name. I

2351
02:14:33,480 --> 02:14:35,920
Speaker 2: actually had over two thousand hits in the minor leagues,

2352
02:14:36,280 --> 02:14:39,160
Speaker 2: but only two in the major leagues. Mark Ramsey, with

2353
02:14:39,400 --> 02:14:39,920
Speaker 2: my name.

2354
02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:46,480
Speaker 9: That name absolutely escapes me. I have no idea, no problem.

2355
02:14:46,600 --> 02:14:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm the son of a famous Major League baseball player,

2356
02:14:49,240 --> 02:14:51,960
Speaker 2: very prominent name, but in my career I had over

2357
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:54,040
Speaker 2: two thousand hits in the minor leagues, but only two

2358
02:14:54,680 --> 02:14:58,839
Speaker 2: in the major leagues. The chef Kevin Wyrett, what my name.

2359
02:14:59,400 --> 02:15:02,160
Speaker 8: O, I was gonna say Tony Gwinn Junior had more

2360
02:15:02,240 --> 02:15:03,920
Speaker 8: hits than two, but that was gonna be my guest

2361
02:15:03,920 --> 02:15:04,680
Speaker 8: Tony gwyn junr.

2362
02:15:05,120 --> 02:15:06,440
Speaker 2: Right, I don't and I don't think he had two

2363
02:15:06,440 --> 02:15:10,160
Speaker 2: thousands in the minor leagues. Yeah, I'm the son of

2364
02:15:10,160 --> 02:15:14,080
Speaker 2: a former Major league baseball player. Prominent name, but in

2365
02:15:14,120 --> 02:15:15,760
Speaker 2: my career I had over two thousands in the minor

2366
02:15:15,840 --> 02:15:17,839
Speaker 2: league's but only two in the major leagues.

2367
02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:22,040
Speaker 9: Ian Roddy with my name, I have no idea. So

2368
02:15:22,080 --> 02:15:25,240
Speaker 9: I am going to go with Derek Jeter Junior.

2369
02:15:26,320 --> 02:15:29,240
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a good one. I believe Derek Jeter has

2370
02:15:29,280 --> 02:15:31,360
Speaker 2: three daughters under the age of five. But you never know,

2371
02:15:32,040 --> 02:15:35,520
Speaker 2: You never know, all right. Uh, you guys are gonna

2372
02:15:35,520 --> 02:15:37,600
Speaker 2: be pissed because I think you you would know this one.

2373
02:15:39,200 --> 02:15:43,840
Speaker 2: And everybody forgets because the dude's like fifty one years old.

2374
02:15:43,880 --> 02:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Now it's Pete Rose Junior.

2375
02:15:46,960 --> 02:15:52,960
Speaker 9: Huh. Clever Bernie sneaking that in there, honestly, Junior.

2376
02:15:53,080 --> 02:15:57,839
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, oh yeah, so probably the most hits total

2377
02:15:57,880 --> 02:15:59,760
Speaker 8: by a father son duel in Major league history.

2378
02:15:59,800 --> 02:16:02,160
Speaker 9: Just the guess though, you.

2379
02:16:02,120 --> 02:16:04,840
Speaker 2: Know that we'd have to research that. How about how

2380
02:16:04,840 --> 02:16:08,880
Speaker 2: about King Griffy Junior and King Graffy Senior? Well, actually,

2381
02:16:09,280 --> 02:16:11,600
Speaker 2: well Rose had forty two fifty six and the son

2382
02:16:11,640 --> 02:16:19,160
Speaker 2: had two. That's forty two fifty eight. That's a good one.

2383
02:16:19,560 --> 02:16:21,640
Speaker 9: I would Yeah, I mean, there aren't many guys.

2384
02:16:21,720 --> 02:16:24,480
Speaker 2: May maybe get our crack research down on that, the

2385
02:16:24,520 --> 02:16:27,440
Speaker 2: father son combination of most hits.

2386
02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:30,280
Speaker 9: Maybe Barry and Bobby bond. Yeah, it looks like Bobby

2387
02:16:30,320 --> 02:16:31,640
Speaker 9: and Barry bombs.

2388
02:16:31,640 --> 02:16:35,240
Speaker 2: Okay, because Barry had over three thousand and Bobby had

2389
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:38,560
Speaker 2: at least two. I think, I don't know. We'll have

2390
02:16:38,600 --> 02:16:40,480
Speaker 2: to look at that for the hell of it. Give

2391
02:16:40,560 --> 02:16:42,119
Speaker 2: us the give us the answer later in the show

2392
02:16:42,200 --> 02:16:48,160
Speaker 2: or whenever you can. All right. As a current NFL quarterback,

2393
02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:52,120
Speaker 2: I still have more guaranteed money on my contract than

2394
02:16:52,200 --> 02:16:55,120
Speaker 2: anybody else playing. Mark Ramsey wasn't my name?

2395
02:16:58,040 --> 02:17:01,000
Speaker 9: Does he play for the for Baltimore?

2396
02:17:03,080 --> 02:17:06,039
Speaker 2: What is this jeopardy y? Yes? Okay, No, he does

2397
02:17:06,080 --> 02:17:11,720
Speaker 2: not play for Baltimore, but appreciate the effort. As an

2398
02:17:11,800 --> 02:17:14,879
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback, I still have more guaranteed money on my

2399
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:18,520
Speaker 2: contract than any other quarterback in the National Football League.

2400
02:17:18,560 --> 02:17:19,879
Speaker 2: The chef Kevin Wire. What my name?

2401
02:17:19,920 --> 02:17:21,680
Speaker 8: I'm gonna guess this is a trick question, So I'm

2402
02:17:21,720 --> 02:17:22,640
Speaker 8: going with Jordan Love.

2403
02:17:23,120 --> 02:17:29,480
Speaker 2: Not Jordan Love. Not Jordan Love. As an NFL quarterback,

2404
02:17:29,520 --> 02:17:32,640
Speaker 2: I still have more guaranteed money on my contract than

2405
02:17:32,680 --> 02:17:37,640
Speaker 2: any other quarterback. I should phrase this in terms of

2406
02:17:37,640 --> 02:17:40,520
Speaker 2: the total contract, not what's left Ian Roddy.

2407
02:17:40,560 --> 02:17:42,320
Speaker 9: What my name is it?

2408
02:17:42,440 --> 02:17:47,840
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, not Joe Burrow. Is still Deshaun Watson.

2409
02:17:49,520 --> 02:17:50,320
Speaker 9: That's right.

2410
02:17:51,480 --> 02:17:56,480
Speaker 2: Everybody forgets uh. And Cleveland's still in for some return

2411
02:17:56,560 --> 02:17:56,720
Speaker 2: on that.

2412
02:17:56,800 --> 02:17:59,400
Speaker 9: It's still like the only fully guaranteed contract.

2413
02:17:59,720 --> 02:18:02,040
Speaker 2: It's fully guaranteed two hundred and thirty million. And I

2414
02:18:02,080 --> 02:18:05,440
Speaker 2: gotta sell you this is a real That game Week

2415
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:08,720
Speaker 2: one with Dallas and Cleveland, and I believe Tom Brady

2416
02:18:08,760 --> 02:18:11,080
Speaker 2: might be on the call in that game. That is

2417
02:18:11,280 --> 02:18:15,080
Speaker 2: must watch, must watch. I actually think Cleveland's gonna win

2418
02:18:15,120 --> 02:18:17,720
Speaker 2: that game, all right, Three quick ones and we're done.

2419
02:18:18,160 --> 02:18:21,760
Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy six, after winning the decathline on the Olympics,

2420
02:18:21,760 --> 02:18:24,200
Speaker 2: I appeared on a wheati's box, Mark Ramsey, What my name?

2436
02:19:19,800 --> 02:19:21,600

2437
02:19:21,600 --> 02:19:24,560
Speaker 9: to fifty chance, all.

2438
02:19:24,560 --> 02:19:27,560
Speaker 2: Right, that's fair. I mean, that's that's certainly very much

2439
02:19:28,120 --> 02:19:29,760

2447

Speaker 8: the Heinz fifty seven sauce Joe DiMaggio.

02:21:09,879 --> 02:21:12,959
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bernie. The Olympics in a full swing and the

2470
02:21:13,080 --> 02:21:16,520
Speaker 8: day's events have already begun, so we've got several live

2471
02:21:16,560 --> 02:21:19,480
Speaker 8: events going on as we speak. The men's four hundred

2472
02:21:19,520 --> 02:21:22,280
Speaker 8: meter individual medley going on right now. It's a just

2473
02:21:22,480 --> 02:21:25,240
Speaker 8: one of the preliminary rounds, so that's over on us say.

2474
02:21:25,240 --> 02:21:28,040
Speaker 8: We also have a team handball game between Korea and

Speaker 8: the Slovakia again preliminary rounds at Slovakia leading Korea thirteen

2476
02:21:32,560 --> 02:21:35,440
Speaker 8: to eleven. They're in the first half of that match.

2477
02:21:35,520 --> 02:21:38,200
Speaker 8: But the big rivalry in the Olympics right now is

2478
02:21:38,280 --> 02:21:42,560
Speaker 8: swimming between the United States and Australia. Caleb Dressel a

2479
02:21:42,640 --> 02:21:45,600
Speaker 8: part of the US men for by one hundred freestyle

2480
02:21:45,680 --> 02:21:49,360
Speaker 8: relay that took gold, just edging out the Australians, but

2481
02:21:49,440 --> 02:21:53,240
Speaker 8: the Aussies would get their gold. In the women's four

2482
02:21:53,320 --> 02:21:57,439
Speaker 8: hundred meter freestyle, arirn Tip miss beating out Katie Ledeci.

2483
02:21:57,560 --> 02:21:59,800
Speaker 8: Leadecki did get the bronze, so she made the podium.

2484
02:21:59,840 --> 02:22:02,680
Speaker 8: By the odds, he's getting the gold. In the women's

2485
02:22:02,720 --> 02:22:06,119
Speaker 8: four hundred meter free style basketball, it's Canada over Greece

2486
02:22:06,200 --> 02:22:09,600
Speaker 8: eighty six to seventy nine Jannis with thirty four points.

2487
02:22:09,600 --> 02:22:13,000
Speaker 8: The United States will play Serbia Sunday morning this coming

2488
02:22:13,040 --> 02:22:17,080
Speaker 8: morning in a few hours at eleven fifteen Eastern time.

2489
02:22:18,240 --> 02:22:20,560
Speaker 9: Some controversy in Canadian women's soccer.

2490
02:22:20,640 --> 02:22:23,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, we had the reports of them being caught using

2491
02:22:23,760 --> 02:22:27,400
Speaker 8: drones to spy on closed practices. Well, there's been some

2492
02:22:27,480 --> 02:22:32,600
Speaker 8: consequences for that, as Canadian soccer coach Bev Priestman suspended

2493
02:22:32,640 --> 02:22:35,959
Speaker 8: for a year for not only doing it in France,

2494
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:39,119
Speaker 8: but in other instances as well. In ESPN were report outs,

2495
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:42,680
Speaker 8: say in the United States Soccer Federation was aware of

2496
02:22:43,240 --> 02:22:47,480
Speaker 8: similar circumstances involving Canadian teams attempting to view other teams

2497
02:22:47,920 --> 02:22:52,480
Speaker 8: closed practices. So we'll see what more dominoes will fall

2498
02:22:52,640 --> 02:22:57,680
Speaker 8: for Canadian soccer and in Major League Baseball, the trade

2499
02:22:57,720 --> 02:23:01,520
Speaker 8: deadline is coming up. The Yankees acquired outfielder Jazz chis

2500
02:23:01,520 --> 02:23:04,800
Speaker 8: Home from the Miami Marlins in exchange for three minor

2501
02:23:04,879 --> 02:23:09,000
Speaker 8: league prospects. The Mets, according to ESPN, finalizing a trade

2502
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:14,439
Speaker 8: to acquire outfielder Jesse Winker from the Washington Nationals.

2503
02:23:14,480 --> 02:23:17,360
Speaker 2: Becky Burney, hey, chef quickly. I don't know if you

2504
02:23:17,400 --> 02:23:20,760
Speaker 2: saw this morning the interview with Michael Phelps right before

2505
02:23:20,840 --> 02:23:26,640
Speaker 2: the Australia VERSUS USA swimming competition. There was trash talking.

2506
02:23:27,080 --> 02:23:31,520
Speaker 2: The Australian women's swimming team is trash talking the US,

2507
02:23:31,520 --> 02:23:34,040
Speaker 2: saying we're sick of here in the Star Spangled banner.

2508
02:23:34,080 --> 02:23:35,720
Speaker 2: They play it over and over and over, retired of

2509
02:23:35,720 --> 02:23:38,840
Speaker 2: them channing USA, and then they went out one. But

2510
02:23:38,920 --> 02:23:41,640
Speaker 2: the men's team won, So little drama on the Olympics.

2511
02:23:41,800 --> 02:23:46,120
Speaker 2: I sampled the Olympics quite a bit today, so probably, Tami,

2512
02:23:46,280 --> 02:23:50,520
Speaker 2: I get it all right. Soccer is going to be

2513
02:23:50,520 --> 02:23:51,920
Speaker 2: a big part of the Olympics. As a matter of fact.

2514
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:54,400
Speaker 2: Later on today the women's team will lace it up

2515
02:23:55,800 --> 02:23:59,440
Speaker 2: against a very formidable foe. But regardless, fifty two weeks

2516
02:23:59,480 --> 02:24:01,600
Speaker 2: out of the year, whether it's in season not a season.

2517
02:24:02,080 --> 02:24:04,520
Speaker 2: Off the field. On the field, we bring you Chris

2518
02:24:04,520 --> 02:24:06,640
Speaker 2: Purffett's World of Soccer.

2519
02:24:07,760 --> 02:24:23,800
Speaker 4: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. It's

2520
02:24:23,840 --> 02:24:28,080
Speaker 4: all here in this report from the World of Soccer, Bernie.

2521
02:24:28,120 --> 02:24:32,640
Speaker 10: Across Europe, across the world of soccer, domestic leagues are

2522
02:24:32,920 --> 02:24:38,000
Speaker 10: going final. We have final after last weekends, thrilling action

2523
02:24:38,440 --> 02:24:42,240
Speaker 10: in multiple leagues, some already sewn up, some not so much.

2524
02:24:42,560 --> 02:24:44,760
Speaker 10: Let's well, we're gonna go to England in a second,

2525
02:24:44,800 --> 02:24:47,039
Speaker 10: because that's where the big story was. It came down

2526
02:24:47,080 --> 02:24:49,480
Speaker 10: to the final week of Premier League and we were

2527
02:24:49,520 --> 02:24:52,800
Speaker 10: talking about it here on Fox Sports Radio all morning

2528
02:24:52,879 --> 02:24:56,760
Speaker 10: last Sunday as everything collided. There's still a weekend to

2529
02:24:56,840 --> 02:25:01,039
Speaker 10: go in La Liga, but Real Madrid obviously champions, having

2530
02:25:01,080 --> 02:25:04,480
Speaker 10: pulled ahead so far ahead from everyone else in the pack.

2531
02:25:05,240 --> 02:25:07,720
Speaker 10: The Kings of Football looked to be nigh unbeaten a

2532
02:25:07,760 --> 02:25:11,640
Speaker 10: twelve point margin before even going into the final weekend

2533
02:25:11,959 --> 02:25:14,279
Speaker 10: over Barcelona, who is in second place.

2534
02:25:14,560 --> 02:25:16,280
Speaker 9: But really the hats are off.

2535
02:25:16,360 --> 02:25:21,080
Speaker 10: The toast is being raised across Europe to Bayer Leverkusen,

2536
02:25:21,600 --> 02:25:25,560
Speaker 10: a team in the German Bundesliga, who have completed the impossible,

2537
02:25:25,600 --> 02:25:29,760
Speaker 10: not only winning Bundesliga and breaking up the monotony of

2538
02:25:29,840 --> 02:25:33,440
Speaker 10: Bayern Munich and maybe Borussia Dortmann claiming that league's title,

2539
02:25:33,760 --> 02:25:40,280
Speaker 10: but having an unbeaten season ninety points, thirty four games played,

2540
02:25:40,680 --> 02:25:45,039
Speaker 10: twenty eight wins, six draws, no losses. It is for

2541
02:25:45,160 --> 02:25:50,520
Speaker 10: the history books Leverkusen, coming out of seemingly a lot

2542
02:25:50,560 --> 02:25:54,640
Speaker 10: of years of just growth development, really pounding on the door,

2543
02:25:55,200 --> 02:25:56,800
Speaker 10: having better and better showings.

2544
02:25:56,800 --> 02:25:58,080
Speaker 9: They were six last year.

2545
02:25:58,520 --> 02:26:02,040
Speaker 10: A year prior they had met it third behind Dortmund

2546
02:26:02,080 --> 02:26:04,240
Speaker 10: and Munich, and now here they are a top of

2547
02:26:04,280 --> 02:26:07,200
Speaker 10: the world, well at least a top of Germany. That

2548
02:26:07,360 --> 02:26:12,040
Speaker 10: unbeaten record was being carried through the season in European

2549
02:26:12,120 --> 02:26:15,760
Speaker 10: play as well, until finally they hit the Europa League

2550
02:26:15,800 --> 02:26:20,680
Speaker 10: final this past week against the Italian side Atlanta, and

2551
02:26:20,720 --> 02:26:24,240
Speaker 10: they were defeated three nil, a very bittersweet moment to

2552
02:26:24,280 --> 02:26:27,440
Speaker 10: go out on, but holding up the Bundesliga trophy still

2553
02:26:27,480 --> 02:26:31,400
Speaker 10: a fantastic story for them. Adelanta, of course, winning Europa

2554
02:26:31,959 --> 02:26:36,199
Speaker 10: and the Italian League, going very convincingly to Internazionale Milan,

2555
02:26:36,640 --> 02:26:41,359
Speaker 10: who had a massive nineteen point lead over AC Milan

2556
02:26:42,480 --> 02:26:45,280
Speaker 10: as the season concluded here. But again the real action

2557
02:26:45,480 --> 02:26:49,279
Speaker 10: this season was in England. It was in the Premier

2558
02:26:49,320 --> 02:26:52,640
Speaker 10: League and it was a battle between Arsenal and Manchester

2559
02:26:52,720 --> 02:26:55,600
Speaker 10: City down to the final day. We were tracking all

2560
02:26:55,640 --> 02:26:58,240
Speaker 10: of it here on the World of Soccer. It was

2561
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:01,400
Speaker 10: thrilling and yet the back of my mind, in the

2562
02:27:01,440 --> 02:27:03,800
Speaker 10: back of my mind, I just sat there thinking and

2563
02:27:03,879 --> 02:27:07,280
Speaker 10: knowing as much as Arsenal kept the lead, especially after

2564
02:27:07,320 --> 02:27:11,320
Speaker 10: Liverpool started to fade away, I thought, something's going to happen.

2565
02:27:11,560 --> 02:27:14,360
Speaker 10: Something's going to happen, and a no fault of their own,

2566
02:27:14,560 --> 02:27:19,600
Speaker 10: no fault of Arsenal's own. They had been winning six

2567
02:27:19,760 --> 02:27:23,320
Speaker 10: of their last Premier League matches, including their last one

2568
02:27:23,400 --> 02:27:27,880
Speaker 10: over Everton, a two to one victory that kept them afloat.

2569
02:27:28,080 --> 02:27:30,879
Speaker 10: But the point is is that Manchester City, because of

2570
02:27:30,879 --> 02:27:33,520
Speaker 10: some schedule, had a game in hand, and that game

2571
02:27:33,680 --> 02:27:37,080
Speaker 10: was played they were able to make up ground and

2572
02:27:38,080 --> 02:27:40,520
Speaker 10: this led us the last Sunday's action where we had

2573
02:27:40,600 --> 02:27:44,880
Speaker 10: Manchester City and Arsenal playing at the same time. Arsenal

2574
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:47,320
Speaker 10: all they needed was to do was to win and

2575
02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:51,160
Speaker 10: for City to either draw or lose. Because City had

2576
02:27:51,200 --> 02:27:55,360
Speaker 10: also played fantastically well built up an early enough lead

2577
02:27:55,480 --> 02:27:57,480
Speaker 10: early on the year before a lot of their troubles

2578
02:27:57,879 --> 02:28:01,480
Speaker 10: came back. They too had been winning about five, six

2579
02:28:01,640 --> 02:28:06,280
Speaker 10: seven straight and they faced west Ham United while Arsenal

2580
02:28:06,360 --> 02:28:10,039
Speaker 10: was taking on Everton. Arsenal two to one over Everton

2581
02:28:10,640 --> 02:28:15,640
Speaker 10: Great and every time it looked close, west Ham United

2582
02:28:15,680 --> 02:28:19,960
Speaker 10: coundnot do any favors to the gunners. Manchester City three

2583
02:28:19,959 --> 02:28:24,119
Speaker 10: to one and once again City is on top. Maybe

2584
02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:26,280
Speaker 10: not quite as dominant year's past, but this now makes

2585
02:28:26,440 --> 02:28:30,720
Speaker 10: four straight titles for Manchester City in the Premier League,

2586
02:28:30,840 --> 02:28:33,400
Speaker 10: which is a bit of a bit of a bummer,

2587
02:28:33,480 --> 02:28:37,720
Speaker 10: a little bit. The greatness of Manchester City cannot be understated,

2588
02:28:38,040 --> 02:28:40,440
Speaker 10: but at a certain point you kind of hope that

2589
02:28:40,520 --> 02:28:43,760
Speaker 10: in the Premier League they're not used to having teams

2590
02:28:43,840 --> 02:28:50,080
Speaker 10: like in say Germany and France and Spain just simply

2591
02:28:50,160 --> 02:28:54,039
Speaker 10: dominating and winning title after title, year after year after year.

2592
02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:57,360
Speaker 10: Four straight years of Manchester City, and to be clear,

2593
02:28:57,440 --> 02:28:59,520
Speaker 10: they've been winning quite a few. You can go back

2594
02:28:59,560 --> 02:29:02,119
Speaker 10: the last ten twelve years or so and it's only

2595
02:29:02,120 --> 02:29:05,760
Speaker 10: broken up here and there by Chelsea or the amazing

2596
02:29:05,840 --> 02:29:10,199
Speaker 10: Leicester City season or the one year that Liverpool wanted

2597
02:29:10,320 --> 02:29:13,439
Speaker 10: during the COVID like this is a run of dominance

2598
02:29:13,480 --> 02:29:14,240
Speaker 10: that I think is.

2599
02:29:14,200 --> 02:29:15,400
Speaker 9: Really being understated.

2600
02:29:15,480 --> 02:29:19,280
Speaker 10: But English soccer has always sold itself as that more

2601
02:29:19,360 --> 02:29:23,039
Speaker 10: clubs have a chance at that title. It's a fantastic

2602
02:29:23,160 --> 02:29:26,240
Speaker 10: run and you know Saturday will come and go and

2603
02:29:26,280 --> 02:29:28,880
Speaker 10: we'll see if they win a FA Cup on top

2604
02:29:28,920 --> 02:29:31,680
Speaker 10: of it over Manchester United. But this is a club

2605
02:29:31,680 --> 02:29:35,360
Speaker 10: that is facing a lot of financial fair play regulation

2606
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:40,080
Speaker 10: penalties that might come down at some point against them.

2607
02:29:40,400 --> 02:29:43,720
Speaker 10: This is a club that has just roundly outspent everyone,

2608
02:29:43,800 --> 02:29:46,080
Speaker 10: picked up some of the best players in the.

2609
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:47,959
Speaker 9: World over and over and over again.

2610
02:29:48,360 --> 02:29:53,640
Speaker 10: And I do wonder if English Soccer's allure is starting

2611
02:29:53,640 --> 02:29:56,520
Speaker 10: to fade a little bit because Manchester City is just

2612
02:29:56,640 --> 02:29:57,880
Speaker 10: roundly defeating everyone.

2613
02:29:58,120 --> 02:30:00,600
Speaker 9: It was very much so fate for the Arsenal.

2614
02:30:00,640 --> 02:30:03,440
Speaker 10: This is a club that has always had a lot

2615
02:30:03,480 --> 02:30:05,720
Speaker 10: of bad luck on their side, and to go into

2616
02:30:05,800 --> 02:30:09,240
Speaker 10: the final, go into the final week knowing that the

2617
02:30:09,240 --> 02:30:13,279
Speaker 10: fate wasn't even in your hands, it must sting tremendously.

2618
02:30:13,520 --> 02:30:14,640
Speaker 9: But the seasons are done.

2619
02:30:14,720 --> 02:30:17,520
Speaker 10: We stare down now the off season here, but we

2620
02:30:17,600 --> 02:30:21,600
Speaker 10: have a few finals to say. Come next week on Saturday,

2621
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:27,279
Speaker 10: three pm Eastern time, the Champions League Final the Kings

2622
02:30:27,280 --> 02:30:31,440
Speaker 10: of Spain of Real Madrid against a very scrappy and

2623
02:30:31,640 --> 02:30:38,520
Speaker 10: very plucky German Borussia Dortmund team held in Wembley Stadium. Yes, Bernie,

2624
02:30:38,560 --> 02:30:41,800
Speaker 10: you were just there Wembley Stadium. It is going to

2625
02:30:41,840 --> 02:30:43,879
Speaker 10: be a thrill for the ages. I think a lot

2626
02:30:43,879 --> 02:30:46,480
Speaker 10: of the spirits out there are around Borussia Dortmund, but

2627
02:30:46,520 --> 02:30:49,520
Speaker 10: it's hard to argue against all of the talent, all

2628
02:30:49,560 --> 02:30:53,279
Speaker 10: the splendor and all of the ability of Real Madrid.

2629
02:30:53,320 --> 02:30:55,320
Speaker 9: Will give you a preview here coming up on the

2630
02:30:55,320 --> 02:30:55,720
Speaker 9: world of.

2631
02:30:55,640 --> 02:30:58,800
Speaker 10: Soccer, and to recap one way or another, and you'll

2632
02:30:58,800 --> 02:31:02,080
Speaker 10: have it all here on the world of soccer.

2633
02:31:03,320 --> 02:31:05,879
Speaker 2: Speaking of the world of soccer, one game I have

2634
02:31:06,200 --> 02:31:10,160
Speaker 2: real interest in. Later on today this afternoon, the United

2635
02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:15,640
Speaker 2: States women's team will take on Germany, a very formidable opponent,

2636
02:31:16,240 --> 02:31:22,120
Speaker 2: make no mistake about that. Coming up, we wrap up

2637
02:31:22,160 --> 02:31:26,480
Speaker 2: the show, and it turns out Charles Barkley may be

2638
02:31:26,680 --> 02:31:30,800
Speaker 2: having a change of heart. And by the way, Aaron

2639
02:31:30,879 --> 02:31:35,640
Speaker 2: Rodgers now upon finding out that Jeorde Love got the bag,

2640
02:31:36,240 --> 02:31:39,360
Speaker 2: he might have some advice for him. We'll talk about

2641
02:31:39,360 --> 02:31:42,240
Speaker 2: those things coming up. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We are coming

2642
02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:44,360
Speaker 2: to line from the Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, TIREC

2643
02:31:44,400 --> 02:31:46,720
Speaker 2: dot Com Studios, keep it locked. You're listening to the

2644
02:31:46,760 --> 02:31:50,640
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradder Show on Fox Sports Radio. Oh yes, the

2645
02:31:50,720 --> 02:31:56,039
Speaker 2: unforgettable tones of the Legendaria Wretha Franklin Motown is what

2646
02:31:56,080 --> 02:31:59,000
Speaker 2: we do on the Bernie Frater Show. As we wrap

2647
02:31:59,080 --> 02:32:01,760
Speaker 2: up the show, Before I go further, I want to

2648
02:32:01,760 --> 02:32:04,360
Speaker 2: thank my broadcast team back in Los Angeles. They'd been

2649
02:32:04,360 --> 02:32:09,080
Speaker 2: with me since eleven pm Pacific on Saturday night. Mark Ramsey,

2650
02:32:09,080 --> 02:32:12,240
Speaker 2: our technical producer, turning all the dials, keeping us glued together.

2651
02:32:12,600 --> 02:32:15,440
Speaker 2: The chef Kevin Wyatt with all the updates, and of

2652
02:32:15,480 --> 02:32:18,880
Speaker 2: course the Baffo performance at one point thirty and Ian Roddy.

2653
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Great job as always, guys, appreciates you, Appreciate the teamwork,

2654
02:32:22,640 --> 02:32:27,080
Speaker 2: Appreciate the camaraderie. A quick non secuitar was floating around Twitter.

2655
02:32:27,120 --> 02:32:30,320
Speaker 2: If he were still alive, Marvin bad News Barnes legendary

2656
02:32:30,360 --> 02:32:35,039
Speaker 2: ABA and NBA player would be. Today would have been

2657
02:32:35,080 --> 02:32:38,440
Speaker 2: his birthday and they were giving him tribute. Bad News

2658
02:32:38,440 --> 02:32:41,959
Speaker 2: Barnes Birthday in heaven. You can't believe how good this

2659
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:45,240
Speaker 2: guy actually was, truthfully, but he was even funnier in

2660
02:32:45,280 --> 02:32:48,440
Speaker 2: real life, even if he wasn't intending to be. Bob

2661
02:32:48,520 --> 02:32:51,000
Speaker 2: Costas tells a story, and I put this in my book.

2662
02:32:52,080 --> 02:32:54,640
Speaker 2: One day they got their itinerary and they were flying

2663
02:32:55,000 --> 02:32:59,160
Speaker 2: from Philadelphia back to Saint Louis, and it was, you know,

2664
02:32:59,240 --> 02:33:02,000
Speaker 2: Saint Louis, to whom Marvin Bad News Barnes played for

2665
02:33:02,040 --> 02:33:04,880
Speaker 2: in the old Aba. And he looked at the itinerary

2666
02:33:04,879 --> 02:33:09,039
Speaker 2: and he said, Bob, look at this itinerary. Here we

2667
02:33:09,240 --> 02:33:14,480
Speaker 2: take off at eleven ten am and we land at

2668
02:33:14,520 --> 02:33:20,240
Speaker 2: eleven am. Now, Marvin bad News Barnes obviously wasn't very

2669
02:33:20,280 --> 02:33:23,720
Speaker 2: adept at time zones. So as he looked at that,

2670
02:33:23,879 --> 02:33:27,840
Speaker 2: and Bob Costas looked at him quizzically, Marvin said, Bob,

2671
02:33:28,680 --> 02:33:32,040
Speaker 2: we take off at eleven ten am and we land

2672
02:33:32,040 --> 02:33:36,440
Speaker 2: at eleven am. Bob, I ain't getting on no time machine.

2673
02:33:37,720 --> 02:33:40,680
Speaker 2: Oh Mark, I was nicely done, Mark, nicely done. You

2674
02:33:40,680 --> 02:33:43,440
Speaker 2: picked right up on a true story, though, and bad

2675
02:33:43,480 --> 02:33:47,320
Speaker 2: News Barnes had lots of stories like that, all right,

2676
02:33:47,360 --> 02:33:56,520
Speaker 2: I digress. Aaron Rodgers found out, obviously that Jordan Love

2677
02:33:56,600 --> 02:33:59,680
Speaker 2: got the bag, so he gave some better advice. He said,

2678
02:33:59,680 --> 02:34:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, first of all, you know, congratulations, shout out

2679
02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:06,680
Speaker 2: you know, happy for you a highest paid player in

2680
02:34:06,680 --> 02:34:09,240
Speaker 2: the NFL. He went on to say, don't spend it

2681
02:34:09,320 --> 02:34:12,640
Speaker 2: all in one place. But if you do, I still

2682
02:34:12,640 --> 02:34:16,560
Speaker 2: have a house in Green Bay that's up for sale. Clearly,

2683
02:34:16,640 --> 02:34:20,720
Speaker 2: obviously Roger's home is worth a lot. I don't know

2684
02:34:20,760 --> 02:34:24,560
Speaker 2: what it's worth, but he has owned his Wisconsin estate

2685
02:34:25,120 --> 02:34:27,480
Speaker 2: and kept it even after being traded from the Packers.

2686
02:34:27,800 --> 02:34:30,240
Speaker 2: Spent a minute now, but at the time he was

2687
02:34:30,280 --> 02:34:32,280
Speaker 2: refusing to put it up for sale. But maybe he's

2688
02:34:32,320 --> 02:34:34,400
Speaker 2: had a change of mind in the last couple of months,

2689
02:34:35,280 --> 02:34:37,879
Speaker 2: and perhaps he will put it up for sale, and

2690
02:34:37,879 --> 02:34:40,000
Speaker 2: if he does, maybe Jordan Love can by it. I

2691
02:34:40,040 --> 02:34:42,720
Speaker 2: don't know, but got kind of a kick out of that.

2692
02:34:42,879 --> 02:34:45,080
Speaker 2: Maybe we oversold that. Maybe it wasn't as funny as

2693
02:34:45,120 --> 02:34:47,080
Speaker 2: we thought it was. Maybe it wouldn't funny at all.

2694
02:34:47,760 --> 02:34:51,199
Speaker 2: Speaking a change of mind, Well, Charles Barkley has made

2695
02:34:51,240 --> 02:34:53,680
Speaker 2: no bones about how he felt about the fact that

2696
02:34:54,040 --> 02:34:58,080
Speaker 2: T and T and the NBA will be parting ways

2697
02:34:58,080 --> 02:35:02,040
Speaker 2: after thirty four years. And there's still one year left

2698
02:35:02,160 --> 02:35:05,600
Speaker 2: for you to have the swan song. Charles Barkley, Earnie Johnson,

2699
02:35:05,600 --> 02:35:08,560
Speaker 2: Shack and Kenny Smith. But he did say during the

2700
02:35:08,640 --> 02:35:11,240
Speaker 2: NBA Finals this past year, that he would retire from

2701
02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:14,720
Speaker 2: television if, in fact T and T lost the broadcast

2702
02:35:14,800 --> 02:35:18,959
Speaker 2: rights to the NBA. Now that's happened, but speaking a

2703
02:35:19,040 --> 02:35:22,440
Speaker 2: change of heart, Barkley is keeping the door open to

2704
02:35:22,560 --> 02:35:26,800
Speaker 2: potentially working elsewhere. According to an interview he gave with

2705
02:35:27,160 --> 02:35:31,000
Speaker 2: Andrew Mark Shaan of The Athletic, Barkley said, I'll retire

2706
02:35:31,040 --> 02:35:35,240
Speaker 2: if Turner guarantees his entire ten year, two hundred and

2707
02:35:35,320 --> 02:35:40,119
Speaker 2: ten million dollar contract. But if they do not do so,

2708
02:35:40,160 --> 02:35:43,440
Speaker 2: Barkley did say he's willing to consider offers from ESPN,

2709
02:35:43,560 --> 02:35:46,920
Speaker 2: NBC and Amazon Prime. I didn't really know this, but

2710
02:35:46,959 --> 02:35:50,000
Speaker 2: apparently Barkley's deal is current deal. He's three years into it,

2711
02:35:51,320 --> 02:35:54,000
Speaker 2: ten years, two hundred and twenty one million a year.

2712
02:35:54,560 --> 02:35:57,400
Speaker 2: Barkley went on to say it listen, Turner has to

2713
02:35:57,440 --> 02:36:01,680
Speaker 2: come to me as soon as possible, and they have

2714
02:36:01,720 --> 02:36:05,040
Speaker 2: to guarantee my whole thing, or they can offer me

2715
02:36:05,080 --> 02:36:07,720
Speaker 2: a pay cut, which, of course, he said, there is

2716
02:36:08,120 --> 02:36:11,480
Speaker 2: no chance of that happening, and I'll be a free agent.

2717
02:36:12,200 --> 02:36:15,760
Speaker 2: My thing was, wait, wait a minute, now, y'all fed up?

2718
02:36:16,240 --> 02:36:19,480
Speaker 2: I didn't f up. Why do I have to take

2719
02:36:19,520 --> 02:36:24,039
Speaker 2: a pay cut? As I mentioned a second ago, Charles

2720
02:36:24,120 --> 02:36:27,520
Speaker 2: Barkley is only in the third year of his deal,

2721
02:36:28,720 --> 02:36:33,360
Speaker 2: so he's essentially asking Turner to continue to pay him

2722
02:36:33,360 --> 02:36:37,200
Speaker 2: twenty one million a year for seven years, even though

2723
02:36:37,240 --> 02:36:39,000
Speaker 2: they will not have NBA rights. Well, they have the

2724
02:36:39,040 --> 02:36:41,879
Speaker 2: NBA rights one more year and then they'll know. It'll

2725
02:36:41,879 --> 02:36:43,600
Speaker 2: be six years behind that. If you can do the math,

2726
02:36:43,920 --> 02:36:48,440
Speaker 2: very good seems unlikely to appeal to Turner, increasing the

2727
02:36:48,480 --> 02:36:52,080
Speaker 2: odds that Barkley could become a broadcasting free agent. I

2728
02:36:52,120 --> 02:36:55,560
Speaker 2: don't know the termination clause in the contract. All contracts

2729
02:36:55,600 --> 02:36:58,640
Speaker 2: have that language. Perhaps they put it in there that

2730
02:36:58,680 --> 02:37:01,200
Speaker 2: if T and T Lauren has the right set off

2731
02:37:01,200 --> 02:37:04,160
Speaker 2: to pay Barkley. I don't know. I'm just I'm just,

2732
02:37:05,080 --> 02:37:08,080
Speaker 2: you know, spitballing. At this point, Barkley did make it

2733
02:37:08,160 --> 02:37:10,959
Speaker 2: clearer though, that he still sees retirement in his future,

2734
02:37:11,680 --> 02:37:13,760
Speaker 2: but he would quote be stupid not to at least

2735
02:37:13,760 --> 02:37:18,760
Speaker 2: listen to what other networks might propose. Barkley said, right now,

2736
02:37:19,680 --> 02:37:24,200
Speaker 2: I am planning on retiring. I'm not trying to do

2737
02:37:24,240 --> 02:37:30,440
Speaker 2: anything now. Barkley added that he's very reluctant to broadcast

2738
02:37:30,520 --> 02:37:33,119
Speaker 2: elsewhere with the rest of his inside the NBA crew.

2739
02:37:33,800 --> 02:37:37,680
Speaker 2: He truly had a camaraderie in chemistry, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith,

2740
02:37:37,760 --> 02:37:40,520
Speaker 2: Shack as well as the behind the scenes crew. You know,

2741
02:37:40,520 --> 02:37:42,200
Speaker 2: it takes about fifty people to put a show like

2742
02:37:42,240 --> 02:37:44,400
Speaker 2: that together. So I'm sure it's a big family, and

2743
02:37:44,440 --> 02:37:47,279
Speaker 2: I'm sure this is sad news. Now, Apparently in the article,

2744
02:37:47,320 --> 02:37:49,920
Speaker 2: scenario has been floated to which a different network might

2745
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:52,600
Speaker 2: allow the entire crew to continue doing the show from Atlanta.

2746
02:37:52,920 --> 02:37:55,400
Speaker 2: It has to get a different network. Feels like Ernie

2747
02:37:55,480 --> 02:37:58,840
Speaker 2: Johnson Owes, you know, holds all the cards for that.

2748
02:37:58,920 --> 02:38:03,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he'd ever leave that network. And Bartley

2749
02:38:03,160 --> 02:38:05,400
Speaker 2: went on to his criticism of the NBA. But you

2750
02:38:05,520 --> 02:38:07,520
Speaker 2: know that story. So we'll just leave it right there.

2751
02:38:07,680 --> 02:38:09,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. You

2752
02:38:09,400 --> 02:38:12,120
Speaker 2: will see me back on these airwaves next Friday night

2753
02:38:12,120 --> 02:38:14,080
Speaker 2: at eleven PM. There'll be a lot to talk about.

2754
02:38:14,640 --> 02:38:16,440
Speaker 2: And we're about five and a half hours away from

2755
02:38:16,440 --> 02:38:20,600
Speaker 2: Team USA tipping it off against Serbia. But in the meantime,

2756
02:38:20,640 --> 02:38:22,360
Speaker 2: you want to keep it locked right here. The greatest

2757
02:38:22,400 --> 02:38:24,920
Speaker 2: thing to come out of Cincinnati since Johnny mentioned Pete Rose,

2758
02:38:25,280 --> 02:38:28,320
Speaker 2: it's the great Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio
