Speaker 2: Tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be. We

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: have an absolute jam packed show tonight. It was a

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: very eventful Saturday, It was a very eventful week in

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: terms of sports news headlines. I expect this to have

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: a particularly raucous midnight hour here coming up in about

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: fifty nine minutes. I've got literally three, four or five

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: things to delve into, and we'll chop it up and again.

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: You know, the most boring conversations are when everybody agrees,

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: So I expect there to be some disagreement tonight. I'll

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: get to that a little bit later. One thing people

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: seem to agree on was there was no sense in

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: having the Timberwolves play the Lakers in the first round

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: because it was a fad of complete why bother right?

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: I mean, just as Shannon sharp By the way, has

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: anybody done a wellness check on Nick Wright? And I

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: know it's only one game, Okay, I get it. I

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: was a stringer for the Old Herald Examiner back in

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight when the Lakers lost at home to

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: the Pistons in Game one of the nineteen NBA Finals.

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: Lakers came back to win that series and repeated. And

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: by the way, for scoring at home, and hopefully you are,

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: this is the first time the Lakers have lost a

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: home playoff game, a game one home playoff game, in

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: fifteen years. And oh, by the way, also in case

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: you missed it, the Lakers are six and twenty five

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: when they trail at the half this year. Oh, in

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: case you missed it, they're under five h hundred on

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: the road this year, So buckle up. I think Minnesota

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: got a lot of confidence beating Denver last year. And

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: that's what I saw Saturday night, a confident Minnesota team

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: that was superb and transition on both sides. They were physical,

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: they were fast, they were fearless. Yeah, they made twenty

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: one threes and that mattered. But let's back up just

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: a second here, all right, I think it's suffice it

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: to say that Luca's playoff debut with the Los Angeles

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: Lakers did not exactly go as planned. Now, he did

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: have a huge opening quarter right out of the gate.

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: He's the new star. But things after that point at

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: Crypto dot com Arena, God, that just does not roll

47
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: off the tongue. Still, the Lakers found themselves on the

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: wrong side of, you know, of a butt kicking it

49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: frankly stunning. Not you You're never gonna like the way

50
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: you lose, and we'll get to the Clipper stuff later,

51
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: but a stunning blowout. Uh, you know, after that first

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: quarter that Luca had, the Lakers fell off like an

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: ambulaince of bugs. Bunny cartoon just rocketed to earth. Timberwolves

54
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: win by twenty two, one seventeen over one seventeen to

55
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: ninety five. And it should be noted because the Lakers

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: led by seven after the first quarter, So the Timberwolves

57
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: beating by thirty after that point, and uh, the Lakers

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: have some adjustments to make. There's gonna be some chess

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: pieces they're gonna have to move around. Don't think Minnesota

60
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: can't win this series. Yes, the Lakers do not have

61
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: a god given right to go to the NBA Finals.

62
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: In spite of what Shannon Sharp says, or Nick Wright

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: or anybody who's just a Laker fan, that's just a reality.

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: But when I look at the game Saturday night, I

65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: am going to call this the Jaden McDaniels game. He

66
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: made it his game. This is a guy who's been

67
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: a role player, he's been a quiet role player, and

68
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: he was all that in a bag of chips. They

69
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: still say that. I think I just channeled nineteen ninety

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: one in night Listen in the series opener. This is

71
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: a guy and this is what you love. Every every

72
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: day in America, a new star is born. I'm not

73
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: saying he's a new star. But when you grab twenty

74
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: five points on eleven for thirteen, shooting nine rebounds, that

75
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: was a crucial, crucial contribution offensively from a guy who's

76
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: frankly been lost to the shuffle this season, and frankly

77
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: has had his struggles from behind the arc. But he

78
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: made all three of his threes, and he attacked the rim.

79
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: And what happened to this daunt You know, this vaunted

80
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: Lakers defense we saw in February. They like to pack

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: the painting daria to shoot threes. Well, they dared at Minnesota,

82
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: and Minnesota did. Now we all know opposing defenses love

83
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: to load up on Anthony Edwards and Julius Randall and

84
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: they dare Jade McDaniels to beat them. And that's exactly

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: what he did Saturday night. He also played pretty strong defense.

86
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: Believe he was guarding Luca, but he helped the Lakers,

87
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: or checked that. He helped his teammates hold the Lakers

88
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: to a forty one percent shooting for garbage time in

89
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: the final three minutes, which really didn't matter. Now, can

90
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: you really expect McDaniels to do this every game? Daffle?

91
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: But what he can do is cause you to pay

92
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: attention to him because he'll attack the room, he'll rise up,

93
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: he'll knock down shots, and let's face it, the Timberwolves

94
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: have a size advantage. And I think the Wolves got

95
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence after Saturday night. I think they

96
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: already had confidence when they beat Denver last year and

97
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: got to the Conference finals, and I think they gained

98
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 2: even more confidence Saturday night. And that's going to carry

99
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: them through the next few days, at least until Game

100
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: two on Tuesday. And by the way, make no mistake,

101
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: and the Lakers are under five hundred on the road

102
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: this year. They have to win one game in Minnesota.

103
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: They can't beat them. They have to win at least

104
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: one game in Minnesota. Now, let's be honest, the Timberwolves

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: needed this game a lot more than the Lakers did.

106
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: They were facing a future Hall of Famer in Luca who,

107
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, and he certainly did last year in

108
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You know, Dallas road Minnesota like a runted

109
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: mule last year. You know, Luca just destroyed Minnesota the playoffs,

110
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: and he came out of the gates on fire Saturday

111
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: night as well. But you know, the Timberwolves didn't just

112
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: beat the Lakers. They dominated And as a matter of fact,

113
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm hearing that they were confident they matched up well

114
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: against the Lakers, but showing it. You know, there's an

115
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: old saying, don't tell me, show me. Well, they did

116
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: show what they could do when they bring their a game.

117
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Minnesota Timberwolves, who, by the way,

118
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: who are who are top ten, top eight in both

119
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: offensive and defensive efficiency. The Lakers are neither. But the

120
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Timberwolves flex some muscle. It's they've had a full year

121
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: with Julius Randall, and they seem to have gotten in

122
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: sync with him. No more Carl Anthony Towns. Now you've

123
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: got Julius Randall. And I love how the world of

124
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: sports can come full circle. Remember Randall was the lakers

125
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: number one draft pick in twenty fourteen. Not for nothing,

126
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: and this is really important. The tea Wolves out rebounded

127
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: the Lakers. O't scored him in the paint forty four

128
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: to thirty three, got to the rim. It will beat

129
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: him on fast break points every which way. But Tuesday,

130
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Le Brown had only nineteen points and Austin Reeves at sixteen.

131
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: And I know we keep seeing that stat every time

132
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves scores twenty points. The Lakers are what one

133
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety two thousand and one or something. Look,

134
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 2: they bothered Austin Reeves and they're gonna do it again.

135
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: And Austin Reeves has been a hell of a player

136
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: for the Lakers. So let's not overreact to Game one.

137
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: But let's also not just flush this like this is

138
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: a nothing. The Wolves got such a they didn't have

139
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: to really worry about clutch time because that's where frankly,

140
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: Minnesota has been weak this year. When clutch time happens.

141
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: But they finished up strong down the stretch. Took advantage

142
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: of their size advantage in Game one, and they hammered

143
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: that home a great some three great point of some

144
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: great three point shooting as well forty two shooting and

145
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: come and go. We all know that offense can be fleeting,

146
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: but when you beat the Lakers underneath, that feels sustainable.

147
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: I think you'll see more of that game plan in

148
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: game two. Bottom line, the Wolves, their length, their athleticism.

149
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: They very much bothered Los Angeles on both ends of

150
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: the series. We kept hearing the obvious advantages for Minnesota

151
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: were its size, their length, their physicality, or athleticism. They

152
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: showed that they did a masterful job of leveraging what

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: they do best. That dominated the Lakers on both sides.

154
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

155
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: They got out on transition twenty five to six advantage.

156
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: They were a step ahead the Lakers with their passing.

157
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: They had twenty nine assists to the Lakers fifteen. They

158
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: dominated the glass, out rebounding the Lakers by six and

159
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: by the way, they shut off the paint. Lakers only

160
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: have thirty three points in the paint. That's not very

161
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: many when you give up one hundred and seventeen. The

162
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: Lakers defense often overhelped. They had to over rotate to

163
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: dribble penetration, and what that enabled Minnesota to do was

164
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: share the ball, spray the ball space, find open shooters,

165
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: and when they found those open shooters, they knocked them down. Now, look,

166
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: I'll give the Lakers a lot of credit for the

167
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: season they've had during the regular season, where have they excelled.

168
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 2: They have a unique combination of the shot creation of playmaking.

169
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: But they got three primary creators, Luca Lebron and Austin Reez.

170
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: But see against Minnesota. This is sort of a different

171
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: level of challenge because when you bring Rudy Gobert and

172
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: Jade McDaniels and Julius Randlin, nas Reed, Nikayle Alexander Walker,

173
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the Lakers in the week's an

174
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: three pointers are either short or bothered, or altered or

175
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: blocked by Minnesota's length. They were bothered. This is an

176
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: entrustment that Lakers are going to have to make. They

177
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: couldn't Saturday. Lakers couldn't get to the rim too often.

178
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: They were forced to isolate settle for contested jumpers. Now look,

179
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: we know the Lakers will adjust. I expect them to

180
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: target Minnesota smaller defenders more. I expect Lebron and Austin

181
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: to step up their game Tuesday night, and you really

182
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: can't expect Minnesota to shoot twenty one to forty two

183
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 2: from behind the arc every game. Los Angeles can play better,

184
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: and they can play harder, and they can play more physically,

185
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: but one thing will remain throughout this series. The Lakers

186
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: are at an obvious physical disadvantage and there's only so

187
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: much they're going to be able to do to overcome that.

188
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 2: Later in the show, I'll get to Nick's pistons, I'll

189
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: get to Clippers Nuggets, and certainly we'll get to the

190
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: Pacers Bucks. Which was not much to talk about there,

191
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: But I like the way the NBA Playoffs got out

192
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: of the Blox today. It was it was entertaining, to

193
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: say the least, coming out. Mark Medina will join us.

194
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: He was at the game tonight at the Crypto dot

195
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: Com Arena, and I'll be looking forward to getting his

196
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: thoughts and we'll look ahead, and we have other NBA

Speaker 2: NBA Playoffs. Three wards, it's that time. Mark medeena Medina

234
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: Show every Saturday night. Mark, let me start by this.

235
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's tough to win a playoff game

236
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: when Brownie James is held scoreless than three minutes.

237
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, you know what's a bad sign that brought

238
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 5: in James is playing in a playoff game, because that

239
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 5: means it's a blowout win or loss. So yeah, a

240
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: lot of unpack with the Lakers lost in as well

241
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 5: as a lot of other games today.

242
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to start with the Lakers in Minnesota, Mark,

243
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: because I'm not so quick to purpoo this. So the

244
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: Lakers are six and twenty five when they trail a

245
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: half this year, they're under five hundred on the road.

246
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: By the way, Minnesota is seven games over five hundred

247
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: on the road, and the Lakers haven't even lost a

248
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: home game, one playoff series game in fifteen years. We

249
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: can get into certainly how impressive I thought Minnesota was

250
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: in their transition. They were physical, fast, confident, everything fearless,

251
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: and I took I had a lot of takeaways, but

252
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: I want to hear your takeaways. You've got the floor,

253
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: what you saw the game in person, give me your

254
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: thoughts from top to bottom.

255
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, with the cavea. I don't like when people say

256
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 5: it's a long series or dismiss bad performances. I think

257
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: practically the Lakers are going to be fine because I

258
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: think they have it in them to adjust. But it

259
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 5: was very disappointed that they did not set the tone

260
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 5: in this game.

261
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 6: One.

262
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 5: There's a lot of things that were basically handed to

263
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 5: them on a sol patter. They had more than a

264
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 5: week to rest and recover and prepare for this upcoming series.

265
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: They have home court advantages the first time they had

266
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 5: a home game with fans to open the playoffs in

267
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: twenty twelve, So there's a lot of excitement. There's a

268
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: lot of excitement that it's Luca Dodgrige's first playoff game

269
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 5: with the Lakers, a lot of excitement with kind of

270
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 5: the storyline that Luca Doctrich had with Rudy Gilbert during

271
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: the last year's playoff run with the Dallas Mavericks and

272
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: how he crossed them up, and it did not live

273
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 5: up to any of that excitement. You saw a little

274
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 5: bit of the Luca Rudy show at the beginning and

275
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: then it fizzled out. And then what happened is Luca

276
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: was trying to carry everything and no one else was

277
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: stepping up. And I think they can make the adjustment.

278
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 5: So it was just disappointed they didn't bring it from

279
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 5: the jump. Because Minnesota is a great team. Anthony Outwards

280
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: has grown a lot, but they also have a lot

281
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: of good, complimentary players that made a very physical game.

282
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: This is not the same Minnesota timber Wolves team from

283
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: last year. I feel they got a lot of confidence

284
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: by beating Denver in the playoffs. Julius Randall genuinely settled

285
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: in nicely, and they're going to have to be some

286
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: chess moves clearly made by JJ Redick heading it before Tuesday.

287
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: I think I know what those chess moves might be.

288
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: Give me what your thoughts on what those chess moves

289
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: should be.

290
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think from a personnel standpoint, there might

291
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: be more run for Jackson Hayes. He only got eight minutes.

292
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: Part of that was because Rudy Gilbert was taken off

293
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: before earlier before being put back in. But I think

294
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: that Jackson Hayes was not showing the kind of things

295
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: that was making him such a great defender. So they

296
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: made small ball lines. But there's a lot of issues here.

297
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 5: The Lakers themselves admitted that they didn't have enough physicalities

298
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: they get out being on the boards. They committed a

299
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: lot of turnovers, they did not defended three well, and

300
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: when you add all that up, they also got lost

301
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 5: in transitions. The Lakers, you know, they did bounce back

302
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 5: a little bit, but it didn't set the tone. Well,

303
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 5: you had the fact that outside of Luka Dodgic, there

304
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 5: wasn't a lot of offensive depths. Lebron James didn't score

305
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 5: until I think eight minutes less in the second quarter.

306
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves did not look like himself, going five to

307
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 5: thirteen from the field. So aside from Luka Doncic's thirty

308
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 5: seven points, there's not much to like offensively. And when

309
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 5: he talked to JJ Reddick after the game, you know,

310
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: he was lamenting on how you know, there wasn't a

311
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 5: lot of bald movement, there were stagnant there's one on

312
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 5: one play. As much as it's easy to point the

313
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 5: finger at Luka Dodgic and saying, okay, he's got to

314
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 5: remove the ball around a past this teammates, his teammates

315
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 5: also have to make shots here, and so it was

316
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 5: just very disappointing across the board.

317
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Well, a couple things I realized. Jackson Hayes only got

318
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: eight minutes, but Jared Vanderbilt has a reputation of being

319
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: a disruptor and he had some effect on that getting

320
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: under the Wolves skin and they started to make a

321
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: little bit of a dent in that big defens Do

322
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: you expect to see more of Jared Vanderbilt Tuesday? And

323
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 2: number two, you mentioned that Austin Reeves wasn't himself. Will

324
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: give the t Wolves credit. I thought they bothered him

325
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: from the jump.

326
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do expect more Jared Vanderbilt. He's been an

327
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 5: underrated player, and part of it's because he's been struggling

328
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 5: with the injuries. To keep in mind, when they got

329
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: him two years ago in the exposed trade deadline move

330
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 5: that really transferred them defensively. Yes, it helps with Anthony Davis,

331
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 5: but now he had an anchor here fast forward here

332
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: they became a better defensive team because he was healthy

333
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 5: and Lebron James was actually trying after the Anthony Davis trade.

334
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 5: So you also add the fact that he doesn't like Minnesota.

335
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 5: They're the team that trade him. He's going to be

336
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 5: a huge X factor. Now what you mentioned about the

337
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 5: Wolves defense, to give him credit without a doubt. I

338
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 5: think the guy that has to give the most credit

339
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: is Shane mccannon. Yes, twenty five points, but he's an

340
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 5: amazing perimeter defender. Anthony Edwards just said he's the best

341
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 5: permoner defender in the league, and the reason is he's

342
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 5: really good at seizing individual matchups, whether it's picking up

343
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: Luca Dodgic at half court or Austin Reeves or moving

344
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: on or off the ball. Great communicator. So I think

345
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 5: he's great defender number one, great defender number two. I

346
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 5: know Rudy Gobert, you know, gets dumped on a lot

347
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: because of just how he's struggles defending you know, perimeter players.

348
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 5: But he's a great room protector. You have the fact

349
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 5: that Anthony Edwards has started to play both sides of

350
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: the court, and Julius Randall as a really physical guy.

351
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: The Lakers have their hands for now. To be clear,

352
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 5: I think the Lakers will still win the series. The

353
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 5: Lakers have better talent from top to bottom. But you

354
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 5: have to take this Minnesota team seriously. They've ended the

355
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 5: season both top ten offense and defense for a reason, top.

356
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: Eight and talking with Mark Adina adda magic last thing

357
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 2: on this matchup. To me, it's undeniable. You saw it

358
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: up close and personal tonight. The Wolves have a length

359
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: and they have an athleticism. It's going to bother Los

360
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: Angeles on both ends of the floor for the entire

361
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 2: series period. Now I know that you can't, you know,

362
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: continue to shoot twenty one to forty two from behind

363
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: the arc. Yeah, but what is sustainable is the te

364
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: Will's ability to play down low that I believe is sustainable.

365
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: How do the Lakers combat that?

366
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you're exactly right. I mean, nas Reed going

367
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 5: six to nine from three point range, that's uncommon. But

368
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 5: nas Reed doing all the intangibles, that's what he does.

369
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 5: That's why he wants six to the Man of the

370
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 5: Year last season. Now, as far as what the Lakers

371
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: need to do to limit the paint presence, it goes

372
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 5: back to the physicality. One interesting thing is they can

373
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 5: tested a lot of shots in the paint. Well, they

374
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: just weren't getting rebounds. So they need to box that

375
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: lot better, get bodies on bodies. And again, they had

376
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 5: the personnel to do it. They just got to put

377
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 5: it together. And this is why it's said disappoint It's

378
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 5: not so much about reacting to one loss and saying, Okay,

379
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 5: now they're in tarl Well they're fine. It's just that

380
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 5: they're better than this and they shouldn't make it any

381
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 5: harder than it should be. You give the Wolves all

382
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: the crowd in the world, but the Lakers also didn't

383
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: do their part.

384
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the other Los Angeles team. Once again,

385
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: Denver showed they could take a punch. But I watched that.

386
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: I watched this game with great interest, and frankly, I

387
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: thought the Clippers should have won. They gave up twenty

388
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: nine points off twenty turnovers. Clean that up and they

389
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: win the damn game. Now, both teams look fairly well

390
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: gassed at the end of the game, and they don't

391
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: get to wait till Tuesday. They have to play Monday.

392
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on the Clippers rebounding Monday and

393
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 2: for the remainder of the series.

394
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it is a quick turnaround, and it's in Denver,

395
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 5: where the high altitude is. I think obviously it could

396
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 5: have gone either way. It was a two point game

397
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 5: and overtime. Now, one of the things that they might

398
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 5: adjust more is not allow Russell Westbrook to do Russell

399
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 5: Westbrook's thing. He only went five to SEVN two from

400
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: the field, but he had a lot of open shots.

401
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 5: They're stagging off of him because he's not a good shooter.

402
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 5: But Russ likes to take it out on teams that

403
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: he felt disrespect to him and he was at the

404
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 5: Clippers last season, didn't play a lot in the playoffs

405
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 5: because he didn't play well and he wanted to have

406
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 5: a revenge game. But they got to take at least

407
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 5: his athleticism seriously. They got to take Christian Brown's out

408
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 5: by shooting seriously, as well as Jamal Murray. But look,

409
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: you look at how the Clippers played a Vita Zoo

410
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 5: boxes playing at elite level as a step Ya Harden,

411
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 5: same thing, Kawhi Leonard, same thing. They have so much

412
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 5: depth from top to bottom where all their starters cracked

413
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 5: double digits. And when you look at ty Lue, the

414
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 5: Clippers coach, he has seen as the master at making adjustments,

415
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 5: so I don't think they need to make any major adjustments.

416
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 5: But he's also good at making it various tweaks, even

417
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 5: if it's just you know, things about when he's going

418
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 5: to take a guy out and roster combination. So of

419
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 5: I think the Clippers will Game two. There was an

420
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: element of the Nuggets trying to feed off the adrenal

421
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 5: and rush with playing for David Adaman assistant coach. I

422
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 5: got promote a head coach after the Michael Muran firing.

423
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: But I think the Clippers are the better team because

424
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: usually it's a Nikola Jokic than everyone else.

425
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: Well, and give it up to David Adelman. They're actually

426
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: four and oh since he took over. Yeah, but I'm

427
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: glad you brought up a Vika Zubach because that's where

428
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: I was going next. I think his presence is real.

429
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: Denver is going to have to figure out a way

430
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: to handle his presence in the paint. He had a

431
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: great ability. He made Nikole Jokic work for everything. He

432
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: kept knocking him off his spots. He presented a lot

433
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: of resistance at the rim. He contested everything. He made

434
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: an a human at times, and that's you know. Zubox

435
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: defense at the rim not only affected Jokic at times,

436
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: but other Denver players who drove to the basket and

437
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 2: they altered their shots. He just defended incredibly Well. I

438
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: want to make a bold statement and you can respond

439
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: to this. Based on what I saw Saturday, I actually

440
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: think the Clippers have a better chance of beating the

441
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: Nuggets than the Lakers dual of beating the Timberwolves.

442
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 5: You got the fool all that is that is a

443
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: bold statement. I think the Clippers are going to win

444
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 5: this series. But I also think the Lakers are gonna

445
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 5: win the series. I think the Lakers lacked a lot

446
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: of things that they can easily correct or the Clippers.

447
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 5: In the Nuggets, it was a competitive game. You know,

448
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 5: it went back and forth, and I think when you're

449
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 5: talking about the Beata Zoobos specifically, you hit the nail

450
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 5: on the head. Great rim protector, great versatile, skill, skilled

451
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 5: big as far as how he is as a score

452
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 5: and there's a reason why Tyron lou and he's not.

453
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 5: I don't think he's exaggerate. And he thinks that he's

454
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 5: one of the best centers in the NBA. I mean,

455
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 5: Nicole Jokich is the best center in the NBA and

456
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: when healthy to all Embi the second. But you know,

457
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 5: I think basically after Karl Anthione Town's at third, you

458
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: could make the case with a straight face that is

459
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 5: beat to Zoo Boss is the fourth and best big

460
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 5: in the NBA.

461
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 2: Look, he does a lot of things. Well, I've seen

462
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: that drop step left hand and he's I'm impressed. I

463
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: hadn't seen enough Zoo bops during the regular season, and

464
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: I'm not overlook I'm not overreacting. Mark to Game one

465
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. I just saw some things that were

466
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: really bothersome. I was a stringer for the Old Herald

467
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: Examiner during the nineteen eighty eight Bad Boys Pistons Finals

468
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: versus the Lakers, their first trip to the finals with

469
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: Isaiah and the Lakers. The Pistons strolled into the Forum

470
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: and led by twenty in Game one, and led and

471
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 2: led by twelve. It won the game by twelve. You know,

472
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: everybody was jumping chip all this Lakers team, blah blah,

473
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: and the Lakers came back and won the series in seven.

474
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: And this is a team that had repeated they had

475
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: won the year before in eighty seven. The Lakers are

476
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: still trying to find their way, if you will. I

477
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: don't like I don't think they're one hundred percent comfortable.

478
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: The hole is not greater than some of its parts.

479
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: And you you mentioned you said something I kind of

480
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: got to push back on. You think the Lakers top

481
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: to bottom are better than the timberwol I'm not so sure.

482
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: After their top three players, I'm not so sure that's

483
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: I agree with that. Do you really believe the Lakers bench,

484
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: in supporting cast is better man for man than the Templewolves?

485
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 5: No, but I think the bigger thing is that Luca

486
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 5: Doctors and Lebron James. I think when you compare those

487
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: two stars versus the Wolves stars and Anthony Edwards and

488
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: Julius Randall, Luca and Lebron are better. You know, Lebron's

489
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 5: finals or caliber level. Yeah, he's not the same player

490
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 5: as he once was, but Luke is a top five

491
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: player right now. Anthony Edwards, I would say, is probably

492
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 5: a top ten. But I think you know, the supporting

493
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 5: cast that the Lakers have, it's very respectable. It doesn't

494
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 5: have the same kind of continuity that the Wolves have

495
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 5: with Mike Conley and you know, Nas Reed and Jade McDaniels,

496
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 5: but their supporting cast has improved a lot. I mean

497
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves with exception the tonight's game that was awful.

498
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 5: I mean, he's been a guy that's averaging twenty five

499
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: points the game since the Luka Doncic trade. And you've

500
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 5: seen players like Ruliatchama, Gabe Vincent, Dorian Finney Smith hit

501
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 5: timely shots. You've seen guys like Jared Vanderbilt and Jackson

502
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: Hayes makes defensive plays. So I do want to be

503
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: clear that it's not likely. Their benches a liability. They

504
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 5: do have good rosters that I would say the Wolves

505
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 5: bench is better. But when I'm saying top to bottom,

506
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 5: I'm adding their star players. The Lakers have better star

507
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 5: players than the Wolves too.

508
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: No question, But the Lakers bench, I think managed what. Yeah,

509
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: the Wolves have.

510
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 5: A better bench, but I'm saying the Lakers have a

511
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 5: respectable bench.

512
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, look sixty one half does the other. At

513
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: the end of the day, they got to get on

514
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: the floor and do this. And I realized that that

515
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves is better than he was showing Saturday. But

516
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: I prefer to give a lot of credit to Jaden McDaniels,

517
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: who was incredible on both sides of the floor. His

518
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: plus minus was twenty seven and Austin Reeves is minus

519
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: twenty five. So we'll see what happens. Listen, the Lakers

520
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: are going to have to win a game in Minnesota. Now, Yeah,

521
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: Minnesota just holds Serve at home. This thing's over now.

522
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: I'm not predicting that's going to happen, but they're going

523
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 2: to have to win a game in Minnesota. I'm not

524
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 2: so sure how easy. That's good. What I saw and

525
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: I know I've overstated this. I saw a very confident,

526
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: very confident Minnesota team.

527
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 5: The Wolves are a legit team that are very confident.

528
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong. Here here's where here's where I land.

529
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: Here.

530
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 5: It's going to be challenging for the Lakers to win

531
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: in Minnesota, but they can do it. The Lakers still

532
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 5: have what it takes to win this series. Now, if

533
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 5: they're down oh two, that's if I'm a Laker fan,

534
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 5: start staying worried because you're just you don't have margin

535
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 5: for er at all. And so I think the takeaway

536
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: that I have for the Game one is that they

537
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: needlessly made it more difficult than it could be. If

538
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: they had set the tone, it would have still been

539
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 5: a competitive series. The Wolves are a legit team, but

540
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 5: at least they would have been the driver's seat, and

541
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 5: now they have to play catch up. But Game two,

542
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 5: I would say, technically speaking, mathematically speaking, it's not a

543
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: must win situation, but I would say logically speaking, it

544
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: is because of how great Minnesota is. But for now them,

545
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 5: faced in a one zero deficit, it's still manageable for

546
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 5: them as long as they make their adjustments.

547
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: You might you might find this interesting to know that

548
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: when Lebron loses the first game of a series anytime, anywhere, lifetime,

549
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: he's twelve and eleven, he's a prouder.

550
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: Did about how about this that Bubble Championship lost game

551
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 5: one in the first round of Portland, lost game one

552
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: the second round as Houston.

553
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 7: They wound up.

554
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 5: Winning both series and five games. I don't think it's

555
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 5: going to happen like that with the Wolves. I had

556
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 5: to make a prediction. I still think the Lakers win

557
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: the series booby and six games.

558
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: Well next Saturday, and it'll be a fun conversation regardless

559
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: of what's happening. Well, I would just say this, I

560
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: dis miss I just miss the Bubble Championship. Not that

561
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 2: they didn't earn it and have the same situation, but

562
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: time off is not created equally. That was a tired

563
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: old team. They didn't four months off and they didn't

564
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: I have to travel. And I will tell you this.

565
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: I saw I covered the Pistons when the Pistons got

566
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 2: knocked off their perch in two thousand and seven by Lebron,

567
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: a young Lebron James. What happened was they'd been to

568
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: four straight Eastern Conference Finals, five straight Eastern conference finals

569
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: and two straight NBA finals, and they were so worn

570
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: out by the series before when they beat Lebron that

571
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: they had no gas in the next series. That could

572
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: end up being a problem here if this goes seven

573
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: and then the Lakers tied up next round against Golden

574
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: State or somebody. The carryover effect is real, belief, Yeah.

575
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 5: The carryover effect is real. And I think you hit

576
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 5: on a good point because it's not just about Okay,

577
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 5: can they beat Minnesota. It's about what will the fatigue

578
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: look like against either Houston or Golden State. But here,

579
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 5: let me defend myself on the bubble because I covered it.

580
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 7: I'm with you.

581
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 5: Yes, that is an advantage that the Lakers and other

582
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 5: NBA teams had with pausing the season in March and

583
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 5: the rest hating the reset button, not having to travel

584
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 5: on the bubble. I think those two advantages were vastly

585
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 5: outweighed with all the other disadvantages of having no fans

586
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 5: in the stands, being away from friends and family, having

587
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: to do all the COVID protocols because that was what

588
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 5: was required to be safe. Those things were very challenging,

589
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 5: very real, and I can tell you because I was

590
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 5: there for it. But yeah, it is what it is,

591
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 5: fair enough.

592
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: The only other series I want to touch on for

593
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: now is, I know the Pistons had become a very

594
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: trendy pick to beat the Knickson for a while, but

595
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: there's a thing such as lack of playoff experience. And

596
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: as much as the Pistons had been a phenomenal story,

597
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm still very plugged into Detroit and

598
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: their group of veterans played well enough to keep them

599
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: in there until that twenty one nothing run. But I

600
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: think that's what you can expect. I think teams with

601
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: playoff experience are going to prevail in this tournament. That's

602
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: just the way it always is. You got the last word.

603
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it always cuts both ways sometimes when

604
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 5: you're young, you know. I asked Tylou about this the

605
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 5: other day with the Clippers Cooch, and he said, sometimes

606
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 5: it can help because you don't know any better. But

607
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 5: I am with you that usually having an experienced team

608
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 5: plays your advantage because they know the rhythm of the playoffs,

609
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 5: they know how to make adjustments, They're not overwhelmed with

610
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 5: the moment. I like this Pistons team. They're the real deal.

611
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 5: Kid Cunningham is a star. They have a lot of

612
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 5: good young players with Ostar Thompson, great defender, as AA

613
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: Stewart's a real physical guy. You know, Tim Hardaway, Junior,

614
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 5: Tobias Harris, all good veteran presence here. But those are

615
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: those aren't star veterans. Those are role player veterans. And

616
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: when you're looking at the Knicks, as long as you

617
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: have Jolen Brunson on your team, the Knicks are very

618
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: tough out. I mean, he's been a gamer. He at

619
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: thirty four points to night forty minutes. And I don't

620
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 5: think that the Knicks have enough to you know, beat

621
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 5: the Celtics or the Cavaliers in the playoffs, but they

622
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 5: certainly have enough to beat the Pistons in the first

623
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 5: round because Joe Bronson's great class player, great competitor. His

624
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 5: chemistry with Carl and the Towns is one to none,

625
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 5: and they have some good role players to throw John

626
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 5: Inobi and Josh Hart and so it might not be

627
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 5: enough in future rounds, but for this round, I think

628
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 5: that's gonna be a short series.

629
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: Mark because of what happened to night at the Crypto

630
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: dot Com Arena, we really needed to spend this amount

631
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: of time when this, I didn't get to another topic

632
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: about who has so much to proving the playoffs, including

633
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Townsend. I even had Julius Randell on the

634
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: list because I know the Lakers interior defense is vulnerable

635
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: and Randol is the type of driver and finisher who

636
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: can possibly exploit that vulnerability. So you almost wonder if

637
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: Julius Randall has just a little something extra. Remember he

638
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: was drafted first round by the him in twenty fourteen

639
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: and never worked out in Los Angeles.

640
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I mean, look, KUIs Randall was a great

641
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 5: player with a young player with the Lakers. It was

642
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 5: just that he was young and so he he really

643
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 5: didn't play at all his rookie season because he got

644
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 5: a season ending injury his first game. But knowing how

645
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 5: Julius Randall is, yes, I think that's another element of

646
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 5: wine to bring it against the Lakers because he was

647
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 5: a good young talent. You know, they are obviously clearing

648
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: up cap space to try to get Lebron James and

649
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 5: then Anthony Davis, and he was a casualty with that,

650
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 5: and so you know, the Lakers, they don't regret letting

651
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 5: him go was for that, But Julius Randall has been

652
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 5: a very good young player. He's had some ups and

653
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 5: downs with injuries and consistency, but Randall's a gamer and

654
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 5: he has a very unique skill set. Great playmaker, you know,

655
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 5: good mid range outside shot, and he's a competitor and

656
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: so sometimes he makes mistakes. Sometimes he's not the best defender,

657
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 5: but he always brings it every single night, and knowing

658
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 5: how he is, he definitely wants to sig to the

659
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 5: Lakers because of the history.

660
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: Mark, I'm already looking forward to next Saturday night. It's

661
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,120

689
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: have been outstanding. We got so much to choose from tonight,

690
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: so we got to dive into it. Number one, Remember

691
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 2: I held this silver from last week. Nico, not Nico Harrison.

692
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 2: Nico ia Ma Liava left Tennessee, said he wanted four million,

693
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: they'd give him two point four. Now it's not about

694
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: the money. Hop up, up, up, up up whatever. So

695
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 2: a week it's going by, and a lot's happened. Now

696
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: it looks like he's gonna end up at UCL eight.

697
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: We don't know. It's kind of been reported, and it

698
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 2: looks like he's not gonnat anywhere near the amount of

699
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: money he got at Tennessee. So I want to hear

700
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: from you who's gonna get the last laugh here, Tennessee

701
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 2: or Nico? Whose side are you on Tennessee's or nicos See?

702
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: Even urban Meyer checked in this week and said Tennessee screwed.

703
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: They let a great quarterback out. Now they don't you know,

704
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: they got a kid who took six naps last year?

705
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 2: Well are they? So Nico's gonna have the last laugh

706
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: going to UCLA one hundred and twentieth ranked offense in

707
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: the nation, where he said offenses is his choice. You

708
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 2: tell me. Okay, a week has gone by, he hasn't

709
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: signed out with anybody new. It doesn't look like his

710
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 2: market's that vast, but the story is not final yet.

711
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: So who sat are you on? Nicos Or Tennessee's who's

712
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: going to have the last laugh number two? Dion's back

713
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: in the news, Shadoor, he is getting his number retired.

714
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: Well so is Travis Hunter. Well, he won the Heisman Trophy.

715
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: Rashaan Salom, the other other Heisman Trophy winner in the

716
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 2: history of Colorado football, got his number retired, But Cordiel

717
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 2: Stewart doesn't. Mike Pritchard doesn't. A lot of great players

718
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: who contributed to national championships and other things they didn't.

719
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: But she over has. And Deane said, well, the only

720
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,479
Speaker 2: reason you're talking about this because of his last name.

721
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 2: Now we're talking about it because he was thirteen to

722
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 2: twelve was his starter. They can do whatever the hell

723
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: you want. If you're in the last names, why not

724
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: put Schilo Sanders up there too? All right? Your thoughts, hey,

725
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe you think this is a great idea.

726
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: Should Shudor have his number retired? Number three? Time Magazine

727
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 2: listed their one hundred They're one hundred most influential people

728
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: in sports. Kitlin Clark does not make the list. Are

729
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: you kidding me? Okay, help me help me unpack this. Uh,

730
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: maybe you have reasons why she wouldn't all right. All

731
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: I can tell you is everything Clark did last year

732
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 2: in college and her influence on the populary of women's

733
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: basketball over the last year has been evident in every

734
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: measurable statistics, from from viewership to to fans in the

735
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: in the stands, to revenues. Everything. Okay, they now fly

736
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: private because of Kitlyn Clark. So we got Nico? Who

737
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: sat you on? Nico or Tennessee? Shador got his number retired?

738
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: You cool with it? Why not Kaitlin Clark? How does

739
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: she not make the top one hundred most influential people?

740
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: What am I missing? Finally, look, we got to talk

741
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: about this Lakers Clippers thing. We got two very good

742
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: LA teams. Who were you more confident in that could

743
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: advance past the first round? The Lakers or the Clippers?

744
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine,

745
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: eight seven seven, nine to nine on Fox it's the

746
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: midnight hour. You know what to do? Callers have been

747
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: fabulous Nico versus Tennessee? Who sat are you on? Shador

748
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: was thirteen and twelve. I don't care what his last

749
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: name was. He is now got his number retired. Kaitlyn

750
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: Clark can't make the top one hundred most influential athletes.

751
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 2: And then finally Lakers and Clippers, who do you have

752

785
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 2: They went thirteen to twelve? He didn't win a national championship,

Speaker 2: didn't win a bowl game, didn't win a didn't win anything.

787
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 2: But his number is retired. Maybe that's a good thing.

788
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. Caitlin Clark, oh yeah, she can't make

789
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: the top one hundred in according to Time magazine of

790
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: influential athletes and Lakers lippers. Uh, well, you know, one

791
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 2: of them could advance, or neither of them advance, or

792
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: both could who you more confident? By the way, I

793
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: didn't even mention Aaron Rodgers. I'm gonna get to that

794
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: later in the show. If you want to talk about that,

795
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,640

796
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,920

Speaker 2: for us tonight?

805
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 8: I think the Nicks are gonna sweep the bad boys.

806
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 8: They gotta watch out for Cunningham. Payne is gonna drink

807
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 8: some champagne when they coulinch and I think they're gonna

808
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 8: have a good year this year. I think they're gonna

809
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 8: win the whole the whole thing. Think of the truth

810
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 8: once thing comes up the bench in the fourth quarter

811
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 8: to smoke the team, or also about the Lakers. They're

812
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 8: not gonna go down easy, you know what I'm saying.

813
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 8: Also about Kaitlyn Clark, go ahead, Oh, I think she's

814
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 8: one of the top one hundred into the Wential Sports Athletes,

815
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 8: And I vote my nephew a Caitlin Clark pote picture

816
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 8: on the Sports Illustrated because someday it's still worth a

817
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 8: lot of money.

818
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: Probably will all right. Nice to hear from Eric. Appreciated,

819
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: And I will say this, I always root for the

820
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: story and if somehow the next win the championship, that

821
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 2: would be a fantastic story. And I really mean that,

822
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: that would be a hell of a story for the

823
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: NBA Poppy in San Diego. We got all these topics tonight.

824
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: Which one do you want to start with?

825
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? You know the first one, you know, the quarterback

826
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: with the UCLA you.

827
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, Nico Nico Im Yeah.

828
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, had the Bernie who the last lap?

829
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: But I think they'll be Doug grading UCLA and you

830
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 3: know Doug better than Tennessee. You'll have the best lap

831
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: right onto with Sanders, you know, well, yeah, we're only

832
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 3: talking about this. How even Deon Sanders said, we're only

833
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: talking about it because of the last name is getting retired.

834
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 3: How you said, Bernie, both of the Suns should have

835
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 3: their thurday retirded.

836
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: Center A smart assos.

837
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't.

838
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 9: I agree with you.

839
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: But the reason why they're doing that, Bernie, is because

840
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: you make beyond Sanders happy. You want them to stay

841
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 3: there as long as possible. So I see them rideing

842
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 3: in between the boat wall, you know? And uh. And

843
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: then on the third one, the New York Times magazine

844
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 3: or Times magazines? Who reads that top one hundred? Like

845
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: nobody cares about that. We know Clayton and Clark. She's

846
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: really influential and she should be there, Like now we're

847
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 3: talking about them.

848
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 5: Who cares?

849
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: She should be on the top fend you know?

850
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: This is crazy be in the top two. I'm going

851
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 2: to get to substatu lad. I'm going to give a

852
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: commentary on her at the top of the hour.

853
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 3: Continue on yeah, and then on the on the basketball

854
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 3: right on the.

855
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 2: Lackers and Clippers, who you maybe? Yeah?

856
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 10: I love the basketball playoff series even though Lakers had

857
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 10: you know which always the DNA magnic Lakers have a

858
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 10: slump to have a better team with Luka Donks and

859
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 10: Luca Magic, Lebron James Austen recall of that right, even Broddie.

860
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 11: James, I was happy.

861
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 6: Did he played right?

862
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 3: But Lakers have to bounce back on the next one.

863
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 12: It's gonna be a revenge game.

864
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 10: And I actually bet it.

865
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: On on the whole series, and I think the Lakers

866
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 3: are going to win that game. So that's that they

867
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: have the better chance and the Clippers, because Clippers with

868
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard, he gets injured too much, Bernie, so I

869
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 3: can't trust him, you know, Poppy.

870
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: Always good to hear from you. Good luck to your potters.

871
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: We'll hear from me again. Thank you next week. By

872
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: the way, Mick Lewis checks in, he brings up a

873
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 2: good point. Deon Figures Ward number two. Deon Figures played

874
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: for Colorado. He was part of that national championship team

875
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty. He said that number should have been

876
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 2: traid years before shador of A stepped on campus. Figures

877
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: was excellent, very decorated college football player. That's absolutely true.

878
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, in North Carolina joint just

879
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: welcome into the Bernie Frattle Show.

880
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 13: Bernie, thank you for taking my call, sir, I appreciate.

881
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 13: So let's start with what's going on with Tennessee. It

882
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 13: doesn't matter where this kid ends up and why because

883
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 13: any other kid's going to do the same thing in

884
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 13: another start program and it's just going to continue to

885
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 13: happen until the NCAA says, anil, this is what's going

886
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 13: to happen. This is how we're going to do things.

887
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 13: Either you sign and stay or you are out, and

888
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 13: the NCAA is not going to do that because there's

889
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 13: just too much money involved. Either they keep the players happy,

890
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 13: they keep the schools happy. It's not going to happen

891
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 13: either way.

892
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 5: Number two.

893
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 13: So we then take a look at what's going on.

894
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 7: But beyond I.

895
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 13: Don't care where his sen son ends up in regards

896
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 13: to being rated at the university. Why because the NFL

897
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 13: is going to determine his success. He's going to be

898
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 13: a joke thirteen and twelve, and now you're going to

899
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 13: go and try and step into the NFL. He's going

900
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 13: to be a third stringer and he's not going to

901
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 13: be productive anywhere, and it's going to be an embarrassment.

902
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 13: So that's why he'll end up. They'll have his millions

903
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 13: and some team will say he's going to be my

904
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 13: savior yet not going to happen.

905
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 14: Number three Ka, this Clark.

906
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 13: That woman has changed the WNBA. They have shown respect.

907
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 13: I mean, look what she did against five men, twenty

908
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 13: two points. Twenty two points against five.

909
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 5: Guys, all on her own.

910
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 13: This woman dominates. She is a scoring phenomenon. This gives

911
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 13: the WNBA stature with all of the other key players.

912
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 13: And until the NBA gets off its backside and starts

913
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 13: to support this league, this is what's going to continue

914
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 13: to happen. No matter how good she is.

915
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: We keep going. Hold on, you're at a real big fella,

916
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 2: and I'm loving this call, your candor. The NBA has

917
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 2: done more than support the league. They've carried it on

918
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: its back for twenty five years. All the WNBA does

919
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: lose millions every year. They lost forty million last year,

920
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 2: and the only reason they exist is because the NBA

921
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 2: continues to write the checks. Those are. That might be

922
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: an inconvenient truth for some people, but it's a fact.

923
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 2: Continue on, Christopher.

924
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 13: But well, the point though, Bernie, even though they're supporting

925
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 13: the league, then why put it where it's where nobody

926
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 13: cares about watching the sport. That doesn't help It doesn't

927
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 13: help it because then if you're going to do that,

928
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 13: why don't you just put it during the same time

929
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 13: NCAA happens. People care about basketball, then they don't care

930
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 13: about it now. This is an insult to the league.

931
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 13: Somebody needs to wake up to their backside and do

932
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 13: some better marketing to say.

933
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 5: This isn't working here.

934
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 13: Maybe we should change something.

935
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 2: I guess not.

936
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 13: So let's talk about the Lakers, but I know you

937
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 13: know what I change.

938
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 7: Them, EF.

939
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 13: I want to talk about mister Rogers neighborhood. Okay, ahead,

940
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 13: mister loser can't find the league, can't find a team?

941
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 13: Why because he's a jay ass. I'm sorry I didn't

942
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 13: say that correctly. He is a jerk. The bottom line

943
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 13: is nobody wants him. He screwed up when he went

944
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 13: to the Jets. He mouthed off. He thought he was

945
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 13: better than what he really was and it showed. So

946
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 13: who wants this man? Because all he cares about is

947
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 13: his ego.

948
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 5: He can't perform anymore.

949
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 13: Go away, please just go away.

950
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 5: Do the NFL a favor.

951
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 13: Stop hanging around, Stop going on major talk shows and

952
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 13: podcasts thinking I'm so important.

953
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 15: You're not.

954
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 13: You're past your prime.

955
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 16: Go away.

956
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 2: Christopher, great call. Don't be a stranger man. We do

957
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: this every Saturday night, and make no mistake. Aaron Glenn

958
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 2: had no interest in being in the Aaron Rodgers business,

959
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: and it's hard to blame him a little later in

960
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 2: the show, I'm going to show you why, especially after

961
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: that another lame interview with Pat McAfee, who's really not

962
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 2: trained to do interviews, not at all. He proved the

963
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: Jets made the right decision. Aaron glid did Jim in Massachusetts?

964
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: What's up? Jim Lot on the plate tonight Take it Away?

965
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 17: Was going, Bernie, I'm with Tennessee. I don't believe it

966
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 17: should be money in sports, especially in college.

967
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 7: Now you see that, Now you see.

968
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 17: The Pandoras box that they're open, every kid is going

969
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 17: to start pulling the same stuff. So you know, I'm

970
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 17: with Tennessee, and I hope the college is wake up

971
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 17: because you know, once one pays, and they all have

972
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 17: to pay. Look what happened to baseball, bazillions of dollars

973
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 17: everybody makes. You know, once it opens up, you can't

974
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 17: stop the once the snowballs run rolling down the hill.

975
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 17: Uh she sure Sanders they're retiring to his number? Are

976
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 17: you serious. That is just beyond bazaarre. And you better

977
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 17: not go to the Giants. You better not go to Giants.

978
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 17: We are no way bert Nerdi didh I have the

979
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 17: Three Stooges.

980
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 7: I love the Three Huges.

981
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, they courted the Giants courted Matthew Stafford. He said no,

982
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 2: the courted Aaron Rodgers. He said no. They gave Jameis

983
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: Winston four million and Russell Wilson are yeah, twenty million

984
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 2: and guaranteed ten. So that sounded like a team that's

985
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: going to draft a quarterback, especially with Ryan Dable and

986
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: Joe Shane in the hot seat. He doesn't fit an

987
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: immediate need this year. He will not help the Giants

988
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: this year. And the if they draft him, if the

989
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 2: Giants draft shoodor Sanders, then I believe Brian Dables signed

990
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: his own death war.

991
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 17: And continue on, well, if they if they draft them,

992
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 17: they might trade him, you know, like they did. Eli

993
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 17: Manning went from San Diego.

994
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 12: To New York.

995
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 2: And Eli Manning not by a mile and almost sticking

996
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 2: to my guns, continue on.

997
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,959
Speaker 17: Jim, and the other thing is I cannot but well,

998
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 17: Caitlin Klott is a phenomenon, you know, and the thing is,

999
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 17: no one should worry about what Time magazine says, because

1000
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 17: that's a liberal rag and they believe in all that

1001
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 17: woke stuff and all this.

1002
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: But do you know the iron They just gave her

1003
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: Jim Athlete of the Year last year, and she doesn't

1004
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 2: make the top one hundred most influential athletes and two

1005
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: other NBA players no one could ever recognize did did

1006
00:51:59,080 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: continue on?

1007
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's just the way it is.

1008
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 17: It's the way they are there, you know, all those

1009
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 17: taper just all you're gonna do is research who's saying

1010
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 17: that about her? But she is a phenomenon and I

1011
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 17: think the country and the world should be happy that

1012
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 17: they have her as long as they have her. And

1013
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 17: one last thing, just just for me going to work

1014
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 17: every day and listening to him stuff, You and Medina

1015
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 17: have got a really bad case a Laker ritis. I'm

1016
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 17: telling you they're not going anywhere.

1017
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying there. I think they're getting done by Minnesota.

1018
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: Mark.

1019
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: Look, Mark covers the team, and I respect Mark, and

1020
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: I think he does do his best to maintain his objectivity.

1021
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 2: I do.

1022
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 7: But may Well, I know you're in their market.

1023
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 17: I know Las Vegas is the market.

1024
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 2: I got to play the hits, Jim, Hole, stay right there, fellow,

1025
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 2: I got to play the hits. You're the number two

1026
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 2: media market. The Knicks haven't done anything since Moby Dick

1027
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 2: was a Minno. This trade was the biggest trade in

1028
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: fifty years. And if the Lakers don't at least get

1029
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals or the conference finals, it's not

1030
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 2: going to be pretty. Lebron is the most polarizing athlete

1031
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: I can remember in the last thirty years. His son's

1032
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: on the team. The Lakers have massive expectations, so I

1033
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 2: have to talk about them because they continue to be

1034
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 2: a story. Jim.

1035
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's that's true.

1036
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 17: But you know what, at the end of the day,

1037
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 17: it's about.

1038
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 7: Winning, you know, and I just don't.

1039
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 2: Well the question will they do it?

1040
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 7: No, they will not do it.

1041
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 17: I don't even think they're gonna get we get out

1042
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 17: of this series.

1043
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 7: I really I will.

1044
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: That were not for off gim always because go ahead, Bernie,

1045
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: when it's winner, go home.

1046
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 17: And all you have to do is prepare for one

1047
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 17: team in the playoffs.

1048
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 7: It's not like you're.

1049
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 18: Playing Denver one night and then you're in Milwaukee the

1050
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 18: next night.

1051
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 7: Then you're going down to Miami.

1052
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 17: When you prepare for one team, then you see the

1053
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 17: cream right to the top, and then you see what

1054
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 17: the coaching is all about. And the Lakers don't have either.

1055
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: Sorry, all right, thanks Jim, all good stuff tonight. I

1056
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 2: appreciate you.

1057
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 7: Ben.

1058
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 2: Steve in Kansas City is never shy. What do you

1059
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 2: got forced tonight, Steve?

1060
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 16: Oh, Bernie, what a dime man?

1061
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 7: They go. We got a lot a lot.

1062
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 14: Of stuff here that the Lakers.

1063
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 7: That was a shocker today.

1064
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 14: You know, it's it's the the NBA needs them badly.

1065
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 14: You kind of you guys were kind of dancing around it,

1066
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 14: you know.

1067
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 7: It's.

1068
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 14: Uh, their MVP is kind of a is kind of

1069
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 14: an Avandrago type in Denver, and he's not very marketable

1070
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 14: and and like you said, Lebron is sort of surly,

1071
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 14: so they need they need Luca. Now we'll see whether

1072
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 14: the referees bend or backs over to help them out.

1073
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 14: They made the Lakers may maybe beyond beyond help at

1074
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 14: this point.

1075
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 19: And uh uh.

1076
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 14: And about Caitlin, she he's always getting slided because she's

1077
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 14: she she disrupts the business model. That's why she always

1078
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 14: gets She always gets the short trip. Because they were

1079
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 14: they were very happy, I think, losing all that money

1080
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 14: and just kind of accepting what they get. And now

1081
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 14: Caitlin is lifted up the entire league and they have

1082
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 14: to earn their supper, they have to work for their money,

1083
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 14: and you know, a lot of a lot.

1084
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 16: Of people don't like that.

1085
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 14: A lot of people, a lot of people. And David

1086
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 14: Stern was famous for when he heard the w NBA

1087
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 14: was going on strike, he just said he was going

1088
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 14: to cancel the league and that that was that.

1089
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 2: That was That was back in two thousand and one.

1090
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: That's right, if you're going to be that stupid they

1091
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 2: can't pay their own bills and you're going to go

1092
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 2: on strike for more money anything else?

1093
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 14: Tonight, well on Shader. I love the reaction of the

1094
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 14: New York fans calling up about do or you know

1095
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 14: I would say about the Colorado situation, if you're the alumni,

1096
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 14: just vote with your feet and walk out. When Shadur

1097
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 14: was getting his number retired, I love Travis Hunter. I

1098
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 14: think he should have gotten this number retired, but the alumni,

1099
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 14: I don't think Dion is gonna be much for Colorado

1100
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 14: very very much longer. I don't think after after his

1101
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 14: after his kids get out of there. I don't feel

1102
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 14: like that's gonna be that's gonna be going on.

1103
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: Very just gave a.

1104
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,800

1137
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 19: believe me.

1138
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: Thank you for the kind words.

1139
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 19: I would like to chime in on the Steelers once

1140
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 19: again problem at the quarterback position. I am so surprised

1141
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 19: that nobody has mentioned one person, and that person is

1142
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 19: former GM of the Steelers, Kevin Colbert. Let me tell

1143
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 19: you what this guy did over the years in terms

1144
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 19: of watching those number one draft picks. Let's go to

1145
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 19: two thousand and eight, and I'm sure you remember this

1146
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 19: quarterback two thousand and eight, Dennis Dixon.

1147
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 2: The Steelers a lot of Oregon. Yeah, I saw him

1148
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 2: playing person actually when they played.

1149
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 19: Go ahead, there you go. They took a flyer on

1150
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 19: him at the fifth round because he tore up his

1151
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 19: acl back in two thousand and seven. Okay, how did

1152
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 19: that go? He crashed and burned. Let's go to twenty thirteen,

1153
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 19: Kevin Colbert. Fourth round, Landry Jones crashed and burned. Let's

1154
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 19: go to two thousand and eighteen. Now, now they took

1155
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 19: Mason Rudolph. At least this skuy is still in the NFL.

1156
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 19: My thing with Kevin Colbert is he basically made horrible decisions,

1157
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 19: especially at the quarterback position, and it basically set back

1158
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 19: the Steelers. And what the Steelers assumed that they need

1159
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 19: is Rogers. Hell no, they blew it with Kevin Colbert.

1160
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 19: Colbert was there from two thousand all the way to

1161
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 19: twenty twenty three.

1162
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 2: You know what saved us, but you know what saved us?

1163
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 2: But they won two Super Bowls during that tenure. And

1164
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: I'm not disputing anything you're saying in terms of drafting

1165
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 2: a Reid option only quarterback out of Oregon and some

1166
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: of the things obviously here well versed on this. But

1167
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: because over his tutelage, they won two Super Bowls, so

1168
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 2: that saved his buck. I just gotta be fair about that,

1169
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.

1170
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 19: And let's not forget the big miss with Ken Picket.

1171
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 19: Kevin Colbert assumed that since he saw Ken Picket on

1172
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 19: a daily basis, because Ken Pickett would use the Steelers

1173
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 19: facility since he played for the Pitt Panthers, Kevin Colbert

1174
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 19: thought he was the next coming of Dan Marino, even

1175
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 19: though Ken Picket broke many of Dan Marino's collegiate records

1176
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 19: over at Pitt. Kevin Colbert thought, Hey, this guy is

1177
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 19: going to be better than Dan Marino. And look what happened.

1178
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 19: He crashed and burned. And let me tell you some

1179
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 19: of the other draft picks at the that Kevin Colbert made.

1180
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 19: Twenty thirteen. I'm pretty sure you remember this middle linebacker

1181
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 19: Jarvis Jones out of Georgia. He was a highly touted

1182
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 19: outside linebacker. Kevin Colbert took him even though Jarvis Jones

1183
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 19: had a spinal stenosis problem. Unbelievable. And Artie Burns in

1184
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 19: twenty sixteen and Terral Edmunds in twenty eighteen, and let's

1185
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 19: not forget Devin Bush in twenty nineteen, giving up a

1186
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 19: number one pick for Devin Bush who couldn't even play

1187
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 19: in this league. My thing with Pittsburgh is this, they

1188
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 19: need to go in a different direction. I would not

1189
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 19: draft a quarterback this year's not.

1190
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 2: I would not drafts at twenty one. I am with you.

1191
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 19: I would not draft a quarterback in the first round

1192
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 19: nor in the third round. What I would do, Bernie,

1193
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,439
Speaker 19: is if I were GM of the Steelers, I would

1194
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 19: definitely trade out of the twenty first pick and trade

1195
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 19: it with an NFC team such as the Rams, and

1196
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 19: get that second round pick for this year's draft, because

1197
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 19: the Steelers need to address their pres He needs at

1198
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 19: defensive end, corner back, quarterback, running back, and another free safety.

1199
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 2: All right, pal, thanks so much, a lot of good knowledge,

1200
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: or I got to get to all the other calls.

1201
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: Do not do not be a stranger, Foster, Alan and

1202
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Saint Louis John just.

1203
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 20: Welcome and Alan, Well, good morning, Bernie.

1204
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: How are you doing well, sir?

1205
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 20: How are you I'm doing well. First, I'm gonna stove

1206
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 20: with the Tennessee player. First, Yes, sir, I think he

1207
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 20: was a victim of bad advice. You know, he decided,

1208
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 20: he decided to try to pull a power play at Tennessee,

1209
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 20: didn't fall for it. I well said, if this was

1210
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 20: about money, why do you go to u z L

1211
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 20: A who's not able to pay any of their coaches money?

1212
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 2: Well, the only First of all, he's from southern California,

1213
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: the only reason. But put to your point, because it's

1214
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 2: really kind of a rhetorical question. No one else wants him.

1215
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 2: There's no demand for this guy. He could sit there

1216
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 2: and say, how come the Duke quarterbacks getting formed? And

1217
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm not well, you know, people hell on ice war.

1218
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 2: Looks like they're both out of luck.

1219
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, they were, they were in demand. As far as

1220
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 20: the Lakers are concern, I'm not not sure.

1221
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: You know.

1222
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 20: I still say whatever they do this year is a

1223
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 20: plus because unless they if they lose this round, it

1224
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 20: won't be But let's face it, this Lucal deal was

1225
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 20: made for the future. So if the Lakers conference finals,

1226
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 20: it'll be good. But if they lose this round, I

1227
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 20: won't be surprised. And as far as Snor Sanders getting

1228
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 20: his jersey retired, I'm not sure about that. I think

1229
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 20: that was more to a pass dad, but I don't

1230
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 20: think his I don't think Dion asked for the jersey retired.

1231
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 20: You know, sometimes people think Dion is making all these

1232
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 20: power plays and sometimes not. You know, I think they

1233
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 20: gave this big contract and now you know, since they

1234
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 20: retired Travis Hunter's jersey, I think to doors jerseys, I

1235
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 20: could throw him. Okay, good?

1236
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, real quick, go ahead, go ahead.

1237
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,520

1305
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,320

01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 2: All right, it's kidding men, We're gonna have to retire

1307
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 2: Drum's number. I don't know whose number is, but we'll

1308
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,919
Speaker 2: have to retire it. Maybe some days. Emtton Washington, where

1309
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 2: you have been. You show up every every few weeks.

1310
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 23: What do you got for us today, man, Bernie Frado,

1311
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:20,959
Speaker 23: There's a lot to talk about tonight.

1312
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 6: Man, I just want to say.

1313
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 23: Before I get to the point, some mighty mark. This

1314
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 23: man is killing it tonight. The pause, the laughter, keep cooking, man.

1315
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 23: But I'll start with Caitlyn Clark. Now, I think that

1316
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 23: this is a disgrace of a move not being in

1317
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 23: the top one hundred. I mean, this woman has changed

1318
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 23: the sport. I mean there's a bunch of casual fans

1319
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 23: who didn't he like, I know, people didn't watch the

1320
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 23: NBA and even like basketball. Talking about Caitlyn Clark like,

1321
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 23: she has so much influence on today's sporting world, and

1322
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 23: you know, face you want to say about her talent.

1323
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 15: You know, I've heard a Fox.

1324
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 6: Sports radio hoster too, you know, kind.

1325
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 3: Of kind of bash that.

1326
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 23: But the talent aside, Well, what's what's to bash?

1327
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 2: She only broke about a million records.

1328
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm just saying, say one thing,

1329
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: isn't it?

1330
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 23: Okay, go ahead and all.

1331
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: I respect everybody on our airways. But there are objective

1332
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 2: truths and there are personal feelings, and all too often

1333
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 2: people interject their personal feelings of rooting interests or what

1334
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: they wish what happened versus what reality is. Who's credibility

1335
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:18,919
Speaker 2: when that happens? Continue?

1336
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 23: Yeah, one hundred percent, because when you're like looking at

1337
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 23: a story like that, you have to be as transparent

1338
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 23: as possible and talk about what you're seeing on the court,

1339
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 23: not like, yeah, I get that we may not like

1340
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 23: some athletes, but you've got to be real about it.

1341
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 23: So Shador Sanders and Travis Hunter getting their number retired,

1342
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 23: now I think that Shador I don't really think that

1343
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 23: like he deserved it.

1344
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 24: But what I will say is, like.

1345
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 23: Colorado doesn't have like the best football class. Like you

1346
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 23: look at guys like Michael Westbrook, like Philip Lindsay also

1347
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 23: came out of there, guys like that a Vienna Court.

1348
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: Bill Stewart, Mike Britch, Sad Brown.

1349
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 23: Yet of guys I mean with Sean salam you ever

1350
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 23: shawt Salon that that that's probably like, yeah, that's that's

1351
01:08:58,400 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 23: the name.

1352
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 2: Now his number was ret but yeah, your Sanders, he

1353
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 2: was thirteen and twelve. That's nothing to do with this

1354
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 2: last name. He was thirteen and twelve. I love what

1355
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,839
Speaker 2: Jerope said, would you get that truck that BYU license

1356
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 2: plate that ran overs?

1357
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 23: But yeah, yeah man, that that. I mean, he's kind

1358
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 23: of right because in a way I feel like it's

1359
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 23: just one of those things where it's just not too much,

1360
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 23: like you want to get his number retired to like

1361
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 23: Alabama or Ohio State, and Travis hunder completely deserves man.

1362
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 23: I mean, this is a dude who is a generational talent.

1363
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 23: I mean if he fought in the NFL, oh well,

1364
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 23: like what he's done in college has been great.

1365
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 9: I'm in the cornerback position, like it's great.

1366
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 6: You know, you never see that.

1367
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 23: You haven't seen anyone at that level. So what we'll

1368
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 23: all go next is the whole Steeler thing that the

1369
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 23: dude was talking about earlier, and then I'll let you go.

1370
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 23: Burnie said, I got some other callers to get to

1371
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 23: Aaron Rodgers.

1372
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 11: I think that you can't do that.

1373
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 25: That is a guy that would.

1374
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 6: Mess up your locker room.

1375
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 23: I think if you're the Steelers, like you're kind of

1376
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 23: in a bad situation because you procrastinated this quarterback positions

1377
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 23: for super long. Like they were guys out there, Jameis Winston,

1378
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 23: Joe Flacco, Ryan Tannehill. I believe he's still out there,

1379
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 23: Like you could have brought back Russell for another year

1380
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 23: over Aaron Rodgers.

1404
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 2: got to get to the callers. We have some some

1405
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 2: very polarizing topics tonight, and I do want to hear

1406
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 2: from me again. Call in earlier next week, so we'll

1407
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 2: give you some time to have a little bit more latitude.

1408
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 2: Bryce in Texas joins us. Welcome back in Bryce, Okay,

1409
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 2: long time, no talk. Go ahead, buddy, to hear from him.

1410
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna mention a couple of things. One, I

1411
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 6: think Nico is going to get exactly what his name

1412
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 6: means in Serbian, his name literally.

1413
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 2: Means And the earlier caller, I think I might have

1414
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 2: been JERNALM said he got some bad advice, but he

1415
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 2: took it. Go ahead you. I don't think you're wrong.

1416
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 2: It's the thing I'm not gonna end.

1417
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 6: Well you mentioned it, or you will work what people

1418
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 6: are willing to pay you. Nobody out to pay him.

1419
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 6: And the last person to be giving judgment advice is

1420
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 6: Urban Myers. So while he's opening his mouth, I'm not sure.

1421
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think screwed Urban. They'll find another guy.

1422
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

1423
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 6: So the next thing, real quick is standards getting his

1424
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 6: number retired. I go ahead, fully, fully support retired somebody's

1425
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 6: name into the Hall of Fame. And because of that,

1426
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,759
Speaker 6: general Booty from Oklahoma needs to have his number retired.

1427
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 7: Next, just for name purposes only.

1428
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: Okay, anything anything on Caitlyn Clark or the Lakers Clippers.

1429
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 6: I mean, Kaitlyn Clark is a tragedy. That's really all

1430
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 6: I can say about that. As far as the Lakers

1431
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 6: and the Clippers, it's the lane of broken toys. That's

1432
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 6: whoever can stay healthier longer, I think comes on top there.

1433
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 2: Hey, good stuff, good stuff, Brice, appreciate you. Squeeze one

1434

1442
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,480
Speaker 21: go somewhere that hasn't.

1443
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 15: Sniffed in FCS Bowl games since Bob Toledo, Kde McNown

1444
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 15: and JJ Stokes were.

1445
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 7: In the building.

1446
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm a UCLA fan, and I know it's

1447
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 11: not a football school at all. It's fairly a basketball

1448
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 11: school nowadays.

1449
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 8: Oh you didn't know about.

1450
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighteenth ranked offense last year? Man, Well,

1451
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 2: they had to get you excited.

1452
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 15: Even though that's not mccohan's fault.

1453
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 2: No, I know, you know I'm talking about football.

1454
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 9: No, No, I know I know what you're talking about.

1455
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 11: And I know they got the old running back that

1456
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 11: did some big things as the head coach. Now, but

1457
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 11: this guy, I mean, I don't know what he was thinking.

1458
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 11: I'm going to piggyback on the last caller. I mean,

1459
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 11: you got to know your word. You know, you're shitting

1460
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 11: here playing the greed game, trying to say it's not

1461
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 11: about money where we all know damn well, it was

1462
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 11: about the money.

1463
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Of course they said it. They said they asked for

1464
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 2: four million because two point four wasn't enough.

1465
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 11: And he's not even need to get a million and

1466
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 11: a half from UCLA after taxis it's gonna be about

1467
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 11: a half meal. So, I mean, that was just a

1468
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 11: stupid play on his car.

1469
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 21: Plus like I said, I mean, Ucla hasn't been worth anything.

Speaker 11: So on the Sanders Singe.

1508
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 15: I mean it's just appeasing Deon. I mean, when you

1509
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 15: don't have Garrian Hagen retired, when you don't have Slash,

1510
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 15: Cordell Stewart, Eric b Enemy, none of those numbers retired

1511
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 15: from when Colorado was a true powerhouse. It's just a

1512
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 15: travesty man. As far as the Kitlyn Clark thing, you

1513
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 15: can't spell WNBA without the red ink until Caitlyn Clark

1514
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 15: got here. She's about the only money maker that the

1515
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 15: WNBA has ever had, so to say, she's not one

1516
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 15: of the top one hundred influential appoletes, it's just stupid. Lastly,

1517
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 15: I'm with.

1518
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 5: You, Bernie.

1519
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 6: The Lakers are in real trouble.

1520
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 15: Julius Randall is a lunch pail guy that we knew,

1521
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 15: We knew him well. He's been pissed since the Lakers

1522
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 15: jennisoned him because of the bag jeans, and he's gonna

1523
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 15: bring it all.

1524
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 11: You know, you got Rudy Gobert, you got hand man.

1525
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 11: This squad can.

1526
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 15: Give them fits because Luca on Chit you can't spell

1527
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 15: Don Chicic without the D and he has no ded.

1528
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 15: So the Lakers better do something, and they better do

1529
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 15: something bad.

1530
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 27: Love you, Bernie, Hey, hey, real quickly, you're on a roll.

1531
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: Anything on Aaron Rodgers.

1532
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 15: You know where I'm at with Aaron Rodgers. Man, it's

1533
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 15: like the old black Belt theater. The saga continues.

1534
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 11: I mean, this guy just needs to get lost.

1535
01:17:59,200 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 22: Man.

1536
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 11: We all know he's making a place for Minnesota.

1537
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:04,560
Speaker 15: That's who he wants to play for.

1538
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 7: But I like the Steelers.

1539
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 11: Man, play hardball with him, don't.

1540
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 15: Give in, and if anything, pay him legs. If he

1541
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 15: wants to be a Steeler, then let him take less money.

1542
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 9: That's what my stance is.

1543
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 2: All right, great stuff, man, well appreciate it. And again

1544
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna spill into the one am hour, So Nathan,

1545
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 2: if you can please hand tight Kevin saying to you,

1546
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 2: Kyle Andrew Obie in Los Angeles. We're gonna get to

1547
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 2: all of you. You know the topics, Nico versus Tennessee,

1548
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,679
Speaker 2: who's sighed you on? Who's going to have the last word?

1549
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 2: Shod Or Sanders thirteen and twelve. We're not talking about

1550
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 2: him because it's his last name. We're talking about if

1551
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 2: he's thirteen and twelve, okay, as a starter, just my opinion.

1552
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark believe me. I'm gonna bring some receipts on

1553
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 2: the incredible, incredible legacy and influence that Kate and Clark

1554
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 2: has had on basketball. He plays the game differently, all right.

1555
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 2: You ever seen a player who consistently takes and makes

1556
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 2: three you know, Logo threes broke dozens of records in

1557
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 2: college and in the pros. Geno Orima has never taken

1558
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 2: back what he said, to the best of my knowledge,

1559
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 2: just absolutely ridiculous. And think about Aaron Glenn. He had

1560
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 2: no interest in the Aaron Rodgers business and he can't

1561
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 2: really blame him. Coming up later in the show, I'm

1562
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 2: going to bring receipts on that. If anything, the way

1563
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has handled this aftermath, specifically Thursday's interview with

1564
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 2: Pat McAfee proved the Jets made the right decision. And

1565
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 2: you're what Manwell said about the Vikings and Rogers denies it. Okay, okay,

1566
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 2: the guy makes my teeth Itch Hall of Fame quarterback,

1567
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 2: But man, is he just an incredible load in the shorts.

1568
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 2: All right again, Nathan, Kevin, Kyle, Andrew Obie and now

1569
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,120

1603
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 7: I love it.

1604
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 2: With that, Thank you, Thank you.

1605
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 25: The first thing I want to talk about, without a

1606
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 25: doubt is the Lakers, and being from Dallas, I can

1607
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 25: imagine you understand why I am rooting for the Lakers unequivocally.

1608
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 25: I think it would be cathartic as anything could ever be.

1609
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 25: If the Lakers pull out the win this year, that

1610
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 25: would be just my uh, you know, my saving grace.

1611
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 25: I guess you know what I'm saying.

1612
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 2: It would be redemption is what you're really saying, because

1613
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 2: they know how you love. Luca was in Dallas.

1614
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 26: And so.

1615
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 25: It's like, I'm not a not a big fan of

1616
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 25: the La Lakers. I don't think anybody in Dallas really

1617
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 25: is a fan of the Lakers. But I think a

1618
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 25: lot of us are rooting for the Lakers because of

1619
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 25: everything that went on, you know what I'm saying. And

1620
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 25: I think it would be phenomenal. Now, this this was

1621
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 25: a bummer loss. But if they could pull through, and

1622
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 25: they could make it all the way through, I think

1623
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 25: that would be very cathartic. I think it would be karma,

1624
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 25: like just working in action.

1625
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 7: Phenomenal.

1626
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 2: All Right, anything on nucash door or Caitlin Clark?

1627
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 25: Okay, so, uh.

1628
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: Wait is it?

1629
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 25: Nuka is a Nico?

1630
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 2: What did I say?

1631
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 7: Did I?

1632
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 2: Did I miss mush mouth at it's Nico? And I

1633
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 2: promise go ahead?

1634
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 25: Okay, all right, all right, all right, I was just

1635
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 25: all right curious. It's I feel like, and it's kind

1636
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 25: of a bummer because we already know that it's gonna

1637
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 25: happen this way. People are uh people hold out in

1638
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 25: the NFL all the time, and it's we knew it's

1639
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 25: probably gonna end up happening in the uh in the

1640
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 25: collegiate as well. It's it's a bummer because man, he

1641
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 25: had a payday from hell for sure, and now from

1642
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 25: what I'm hearing, it's it's less than a quarter of it.

1643
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 25: And it's like, man, if you this is where I'm

1644
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 25: not saying necessarily he's greedy, but it does seem a

1645
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 25: little you know, it's it's it's greed, is hey, you

1646
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 25: can hold out forever or you can get paid as

1647
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 25: a as a kid in college, I.

1648
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 2: Think his priorities are screwed up. He's twenty years old,

1649
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 2: he makes one for Tennessee, enters the draft the following year,

1650
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 2: his best degree ahead of him. A right, I want

1651
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:14,680
Speaker 2: to get to all the cars. But do you have

1652
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:16,799
Speaker 2: anything on shoor or k okay.

1653
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 25: So shoudor really real quick? The last thing I'm gonna say,

1654
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 25: should or Sanders?

1655
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 18: I do?

1656
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 25: I do believe like I being a Dallas fans, Deion

1657
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,560
Speaker 25: Sander has always been a uh, you know, a for

1658
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 25: the show, for the for the Pompton's circumcerns and everything

1659
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 25: about it. And he's always been a He's a showman.

1660
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 25: That's one of the reasons we love him at there's

1661
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 25: no disrespectful about that, and I would say that that

1662
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 25: would me personally. My idea of my opinion is if

1663
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 25: we just left it with Travis, it probably would have

1664
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 25: been fine. Uh, but we're doing shood Or as well

1665
01:24:58,600 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 25: because it's the sun.

1666
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 5: You see what I'm saying.

1667
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Then I appreciate your call, Nathan, You're always welcome. Look, hell,

1668
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 2: at that rate, why not bring Shiloh Sanders in as well?

1669
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 2: Who'd even be drafted in the NFL. But look, I

1670
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 2: appreciate everybody's opinion on this, and listen, Dion is a showman,

1671
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 2: and let's not let's not disavow what he's done at Colorado.

1672
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:21,560
Speaker 2: You talk about making the money and putting them on

1673
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 2: the map. We'll see how good they are this year.

1674
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll win a Bowl game, maybe they'll you know,

1675
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 2: contend for the Big Trouble. I don't know. By the

1676
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 2: way I said, Nukar, I think I was conflating Luca

1677
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 2: and Nico because we were talking. But once again, folks,

1678
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 2: so I have not been drinking. Stay calm, everybody. Kevin

1679
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 2: and Houston joined us. Welcome into the Bernie Frattle Show.

1680

1682
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 28: Well, good le.

1683
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 24: You might not have been drinking, but I have, so

1684
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 24: we're good to go.

1685
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 5: There, we'll.

1686
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Fair enough. You could take over the show. Go ahead.

1687
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:58,600
Speaker 24: Hey, curious, So how does Dion have the authority to

1688
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 24: retire the number? It just seems odd.

1689
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I'm not one hundred percent sure that myself,

1690
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 2: so I can't give an intelligent answer, but I do

1691
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 2: know that it's legitimate and that it is apparently in

1692
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 2: his purview to do that, So that's all I know.

1693
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 24: Yeah, it's just been kind of odd to hear the

1694
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 24: story and then you kind of think deeper and you're like, well,

1695
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 24: how how does he have the authority to do that?

1696
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 24: There's I don't know of any other coach that's just said, hey,

1697
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 24: you know what, we're gonna We're gonna retire this number.

1698
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 5: It just it seems odd.

1699
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 24: But I don't know what kind of pull he has there.

1700
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 24: But yeah, I'm sure he's going to be right up

1701
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 24: there and remembered along with college grades like Doug Flutie, Right, Yeah, no,

1702
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 24: not close.

1703
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Fluty actually had a pretty good career in the NFL.

1704
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:46,800
Speaker 2: And even in the Canadian Football League. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1705
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:47,679
Speaker 2: absolutely go ahead.

1706
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 24: Oh yeah, I guess. Uh, Lebron just looked old tonight.

1707
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 24: The Wolves are deep and finally healthy, so it's time

1708
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 24: to look out La, I think. But the NBA, you know,

1709
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 24: they definitely want La in there.

1710
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 28: They they give.

1711
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 24: La didn't get the first fall called against them until

1712
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 24: midway through the second so that was kind of a

1713
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 24: kind of wild to see. So you kind of know

1714
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 24: the NBA, they definitely want their stars in there, and

1715
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 24: you know you understand that. But sure, we'll see what happens.

1716
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 2: So all right, anything on Caitlin or.

1717
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 24: I mean, you know, I watch about as much w

1718
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,560
Speaker 24: NBA as the next guy, which is about none. But

1719
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 24: I know, I know she alone accounted for like thirty

1720
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 24: percent of their money last year that that came in.

1721
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 24: So with the money they don't have, I don't understand

1722
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 24: how she's not.

1723
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean to imply that she's not one of

1724
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 2: the top one hundred most influential athletes.

1725
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 14: Completely ridiculous.

1726
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 2: Completely you can't.

1727
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 24: You can't turn on the TV without seeing her, you know.

1728
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 24: So it's it's that's that's pretty wild.

1729
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 2: Even more so this year. I appreciate you. Kevin, thank

1730
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:02,519
Speaker 2: you for hanging on. I want to get to all

1731

Speaker 7: Up, Uncle Bernie.

1734

Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you. Thanks for having ontal.

1735
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 9: I'll see the show got moved man. I was looking

1736
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,839
Speaker 9: forward to the Friday show and didn't hear me yesterday,

1737
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 9: so I guess I had to call in on Saturday.

1738
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 2: But listen, I'm so glad I was wondering where you were.

1739
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 2: I made a decision of personal decision. It was one

1740
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 2: hundred percent my decision after the Super Bowl. I can't,

1741
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 2: you know, climb two mountains at the same time, and

1742
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 2: there are a lot of family events that I can't till. Anyway,

1743
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 2: let's get let's get to your call. I'm glad you're

1744
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 2: with us on Saturday night, and I hope you're a

1745
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:40,839
Speaker 2: regular on Saturday.

1746
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 7: Listen.

1747
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 9: I'll try to be as much as possible.

1748
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 7: Brother. Let's start.

1749
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 9: Let's start with the Lakers, the Jerry Otter Home, and

1750
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 9: the new Lebond Goat. If they don't get through, you know,

1751
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 9: we're just going to keep it.

1752
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 2: Realshshay, Truth, the Wolves.

1753
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 9: You got the younger legs with the Timberwolves. They're gonna

1754
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 9: outplay them, They're gonna outpace them, They're gonna spread the

1755
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 9: floor on them. The Lakers have no real insought presidents,

1756
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 9: so you're gonna get oberto getting some double doubles. You're

1757
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 9: gonna have a slew of players that are just gonna

1758
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 9: be tired. And then the media will say, well, Harden

1759
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 9: didn't have help, and then double blame it on Luca. Nope,

1760
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 9: not playing defense. But if they win, it'll be look

1761
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 9: how great the Lakers are when Luca added to the mix.

1762
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 9: Luca's gonna get burnt out by the by these younger

1763
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:32,599
Speaker 9: pressure point guards on the West Coast.

1764
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 2: Even though seeing the same thing you are, Kyle, everything

1765
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 2: you said, the spacing to the youth of the roster composition,

1766
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 2: I'm seeing the same thing you are. I really am.

1767
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 22: Yeah.

1768
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 9: So the the Taylor Cork thing one hundred percent influential,

1769
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 9: one hundred percent influential. Heck, she got me to watch

1770
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 9: the w NBA and I ain't really never watched this.

1771
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 9: I've never sat down to really watched the game before her.

1772
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 9: And to say that she's not doing something that any

1773
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 9: other person hasn't done already would be mediocre, to say

1774
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 9: the least. But she's above and beyond what you want

1775
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 9: and what you expect from an athlete. Yet, let alone

1776
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 9: a young woman, especially in today's in today's worldview of

1777
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 9: what young women are. She embodies the presence of greatness.

1778
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 9: She has the skill set to be dominant. She's doing

1779
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 9: things that none of these other young ladies were doing beforehand.

1780
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 9: And now they're trying to rot her coattail to say

1781
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 9: that they're better than the NBA, which Tayler Clark love

1782
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 9: her to desk you not to play twenty years to

1783
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 9: get these guys into a even pool because they're still

1784
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 9: losing money. No matter how you look at, the viewership

1785
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 9: is never going to be there unless you get more

1786
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 9: young women like her. So to say that she's not

1787
01:30:52,760 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 9: influential is beyond crazy. Nico thus and then Aaron Rodgers.

1788
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 9: So Nico bro Tennessee has all the money in the world.

1789
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 9: If you just want to say what you need to

1790
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,400
Speaker 9: say and did what you need to do, you haven't

1791
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 9: done anything. Your high school career does not dictate what

1792
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 9: you get paid when you go to college. Show some

1793
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 9: work first, be out there doing your thing. You doing

1794
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 9: This only hurts you going forward. When you do get drafted,

1795
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 9: teams are going to look at you like, Okay, if

1796
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 9: we don't sign him to what the number that he wants,

1797
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,719
Speaker 9: we're not going to get disciple polity. Then Aaron Rodgers

1798
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 9: Pills just gonna make some more commercials. We like to

1799
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 9: better as a commercial maker, do some podcast interviews. Brother,

1800
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 9: it's time to retire the number. The number twelve is

1801
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:46,040
Speaker 9: not synonymous to you as synonymous to the one guy

1802
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 9: TD with seven rooms. So with that, Vernon, I love you, man,

1803
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 9: I love the show. Keep up all the great hard work, brother.

1804
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate that a lot. Kyle, and I'm so glad

1805
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 2: you found us on on Saturday Night cover a lot

1806
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 2: of good ground. Andrew and Kersfield also a regular welcome

1807
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 2: back in Andrew, what do you got for us tonight?

1808
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 28: What's up? I didn't think I had much to say,

1809
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 28: but I wanted to call in and support But all right,

1810
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 28: the Lakers to me, I think Lebron all right, Luca

1811
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 28: had sixteen points in the first quarter and Lebron had

1812
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 28: I think zero zero shots, So I think Lebron, if

1813
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 28: he has to it's the playoffs, he should dribble up

1814
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 28: if he has to, and he should kind of take control.

1815
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 2: And when that's reality, do you expect the Lakers to

1816
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 2: recover or they in genuine trouble?

1817
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 28: No, it's only one game, so okay, fair enough.

1818
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 2: Let's move on. And that's good enough for me. Anything

1819
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 2: that Nico, Caitlin or should Sanders.

1820
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,760
Speaker 28: Okay, first, Aaron Rodgers, all right. I tend to think

1821
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 28: like Aaron Glenn made a bad decision. I tend to

1822
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 28: think with Joe Flatto on the Browns, like why did

1823
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 28: they trade him after he got to the playoffs? You

1824
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 28: know what I'm saying. And Russell Wilson, why did he

1825
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 28: get traded to the Giants? And then lastly, so I'm on,

1826
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 28: I'm on Aaron Rodgers' side right now. Ok yeah, I

1827
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:15,680
Speaker 28: think he's got at least a year left in him.

1828
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 2: I hope he plays this year. I do, all right.

1829
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 2: I just get the feeling Andrew that he does not

1830
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 2: want it to end the way it ended last year.

1831
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 2: That's why I think he'll end up with Pittsburgh. It's

1832
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 2: just an.

1833
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 28: Opinion, yeah, Okay, Now, honestly, I'm blind. I want you

1834
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 28: to tell me why is Caitlin Kark Clark so popular.

1835
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 28: I mean other than the fact that she shoots the

1836
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 28: ball deep. I mean she's white. Is because she's white.

1837
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:48,559
Speaker 28: I mean, what's what's the deal? What colors are there?

1838
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 28: How well, first of all.

1839
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:53,560
Speaker 2: First of all, here's the bottom line. She produced his

1840
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:57,040
Speaker 2: results and she played. I appreciate you checking in to Andrew,

1841
01:33:57,240 --> 01:33:58,960
Speaker 2: and later in the show, I'm gonna give him more

1842
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 2: in depth dissertation on what Caitlin Clark does. She puts

1843
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 2: eyeballs and puts asses in seats, and I'm gonna give

1844
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 2: you the numbers. And because she shoots threes, logo threes

1845
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 2: and makes them all the time. She took IOWA, who's

1846
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 2: a nothing program, and got up to the finals both years.

1847
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 2: She took the Indiana Fever who hadn't been in the playoffs,

1848
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 2: got them in the playoffs. Everything she's done, she steps

1849
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 2: on the court, she has just that aura that causes

1850
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 2: people because of the results she produces. She produces results

1851
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 2: and across multiple levels, not just with the performance on

1852
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 2: the floor. And I'm going to get to all that.

1853
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 2: I think you asked some very good questions Obi in

1854
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Obi, thanks so much for your patience checking in.

1855
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 2: You're You're on the Bernie Frattle showing evening.

1856
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 12: I wanted to say, first of all that you do

1857
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 12: a great job, and thank you for being here and

1858
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 12: do a great job. Thank you, sir, and thank you

1859
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 12: for taking my call. As far as Kaitlin Clark goes,

1860
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 12: I believe that you have to consider the source. We

1861
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 12: don't think of Time magazine knowing anything about sports, so

1862
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 12: for them to not to leave her off is kind

1863
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 12: of par for the course. I don't we all know

1864
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,480
Speaker 12: how great she is, and of course she's.

1865
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 5: Top the top one hundred.

1866
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 12: That's ridiculous. As far as theor Sandris goes, I'm going

1867
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,360
Speaker 12: to go I'm gonna play a little devil ado Kate

1868
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 12: and say, look, uh, if you tire his number because

1869
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 12: of his influence on the program, I agree with you

1870
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:32,680
Speaker 12: that it's it's a little bit of a reach, it's

1871
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 12: a big reach, But I guess you're trying to honor

1872
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 12: the fact that he brought a lot of eyes to

1873
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 12: the program, and that's my that's my take on that.

1874
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,840
Speaker 12: But again, I agree with you that everybody's getting their

1875
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 12: numbers retired now, so it's not even special anymore. As

1876
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 12: far as the Lakers and the Clippers go, I think

1877
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 12: the Clippers aren't bigger a bigger problem than the Lakers do,

1878
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 12: because I think the Clippers everybody forgot how great the.

1879
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:02,920
Speaker 2: Uh they showed that championship DNA Saturday, didn't they, Obie.

1880
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 12: When it mattered exactly. So I think that I think

1881
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:09,000
Speaker 12: that we all I think the Lakers on the Lakers,

1882
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 12: everybody's going to we're all going on crazy because they

1883
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 12: have their story. I think they'd be I think they'll

1884
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 12: get through. I think in the next round they get

1885
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 12: knocked out and I'll be back to them. So the

1886
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,080
Speaker 12: kid from Tennessee, I think the kid from Tennessee made

1887
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 12: apig the state just like everybody else thinks. I think

1888
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 12: that he's testing the market, and he's finding out the

1889
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 12: market is and what it is, and it's a life

1890
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 12: lesson for him, and hopefully he'll learn from this that

1891
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 12: you know, just because people tell you you're great, that

1892
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 12: the market doesn't necessarily see what you're great.

1893
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 2: All right, our standing perspectives. Don't be a stranger, Obie.

1894
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 2: We do this every Saturday night. Let's say squeeze one

1895
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 2: more in here, Dave and Phoenix. Now, Dave, I know

1896
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 2: you know a thing or two about paying quarterbacks since

1897
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,760
Speaker 2: your school paid a kid twelve million has never taken

1898
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 2: a snap yet. Division one cause football. But I digress, Steve.

1899
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:57,679
Speaker 27: Yeah, And as you know, there's an interesting story there

1900
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 27: with Larry Ellison of Oracle, the four richest person in

1901
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 27: the world, who's eighty years old, and his fifth wife,

1902
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,720
Speaker 27: who's thirty three, is a Michigan grad. And that's why

1903
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 27: Larry is now suddenly a big Michigan booster. And Michigan

1904
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:12,600
Speaker 27: got the great quarterback.

1905
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 2: So twelve million dollars twelve million dollars, So that's going

1906
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 2: to be a story to watch next year. All right,

1907
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 2: let's let's stay on point here. We've got Eco, We've

1908
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,679
Speaker 2: got you Door, We've got Caitlin Clark, got Lakers, Clippers,

1909
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers take it away.

1910
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,080
Speaker 7: All right, I'll go with two of those topics.

1911
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 27: I want to go to Nico. But first, I'm Caitlin Clark.

1912
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 27: I'm a fan of Caitlin Clark, and I think of

1913
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 27: all the things she's done, maybe the number one thing

1914
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 27: to mention is that in her senior year at Iowa,

1915
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 27: she actually got the women's final four to have higher

1916
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 27: ratings than the men's final four for the first time. Ever,

1917
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:50,679
Speaker 27: and it's usually not even close.

1918
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 11: So I will say this.

1919
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:55,400
Speaker 12: You know, we can talk about.

1920
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 27: Kaitlyn Clark for several hours, and there are a lot

1921
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,879
Speaker 27: of people who like her for all the wrong reasons,

1922
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 27: and there are also some who like her or pretend

1923
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 27: to like her for all the wrong reasons. And it's

1924
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:10,480
Speaker 27: very sad, I think, on both sides, on both extremes.

1925
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 27: But anyway, as far as Nico.

1926
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:17,960
Speaker 15: I will say this, he probably misjudged his value.

1927
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,200
Speaker 27: He looked at the quarterback Mensa who left Tulane and

1928
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,760
Speaker 27: went to Duke for big money, and he thought, hey,

1929
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 27: I'm better than that guy. Why am I only making

1930
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 27: half as much? Well, it turns out maybe there's not

1931
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 27: as much a market of a market for him as

1932
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 27: he thought. But I also think he's receiving probably too

1933
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:39,600
Speaker 27: much negativity. I've read some real interesting columns from knowledgeable

1934
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 27: people like Pat Forty and Greg Doyle, Chris Vanini, and

1935
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 27: I've heard some discussions about other people in sports who

1936
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 27: negotiate for more money. You could look at Bryce and

1937
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 27: d Chambeau and other dolfers who go to that live

1938
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:57,400
Speaker 27: golf tour for huge money. You look at all the

1939
01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:01,639
Speaker 27: coaches in college basketball college foot fall who changed schools

1940
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 27: for big raises, and even a guy like Rhys Davis.

1941
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 27: I guess he was offered a huge contract by Fox

1942
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:10,360
Speaker 27: and then he chose to stick with ESPN, and of

1943
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 27: course they paid a lot of money to get him

1944
01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:15,080
Speaker 27: to stay. So I guess if you're a golfer or

1945
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 27: a coach, or even a broadcaster, there's not that much

1946
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 27: hostility when you try to get more money, But when

1947
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 27: you're a player, people don't like it.

1948
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 2: All right, I accept your opinion there and appreciate you

1949
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 2: checking in as always, Dave, you pick your spots, don't

01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 2: which I'm sure is wonderful. But we're trying to stay

1981
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:01,680
Speaker 2: on top pick with the four topics we can. We'd

1982
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:02,600
Speaker 2: like your opinion on that.

1983
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:05,760
Speaker 22: I like how your show is all pretty much all

1984
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 22: calls and it's very focused on sports. So anyway, Kit

1985
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 22: and Talk is wonderful. I think she should have been

1986
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 22: on the Olympic team fair enough, which is a game

1987
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 22: and and and actually next year a new player will

1988
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 22: overtake her page Becker's from Yukon.

1989
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. That's like, yeah, good point.

1990
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 22: On the NBA, that Kippers Denver Nugget game was one

1991
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 22: of the best games I've seen for a long, long

1992
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 22: long time. To be honest, it was brilliant.

1993
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 7: It was the time.

1994
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:38,680
Speaker 22: And I have I have a take about Rogers and

1995
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 22: Aaron Rodgers is actually what's gonna happen. The Patriots are

1996
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 22: gonna give away their fourth round pick and basically somehow,

1997
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 22: finego Aaron Rodgers to come as the backup. So that's

1998
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:55,559
Speaker 22: that's my sery.

1999
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm here, and they're gonna draft an offensive lineman, all right,

2000
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 2: anything on Nico Tennessee, who's going to win that battle?

2001
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 27: Henny?

2002
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right.

2003
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 22: I was I was the word I was the third

2004
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 22: word caller on The Ben Aller Show, and the rookie

2005
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 22: of the year. So anyways, you're.

2006
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 2: Always welcome on my show, Mike, you call anytime. All right.

2007
01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 2: We do this every Saturday night and have fun at

2008
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 2: the sell the game, and we'll look forward to hear

2009
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:21,719
Speaker 2: from you again.

2010
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 7: Mike.

2011
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 2: That is Mike the Leprecaun, a very distinctive name. All right.

2012
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 2: It brought up some good points, all right, Robin Orlando

2013
01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:31,519
Speaker 2: wrap it up for us tonight on the midnight hour.

2014
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 2: You got the last word.

2015
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,680
Speaker 18: Hey, Bernie, I appreciate the latitude sneaking me in here late. Hey,

2016
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 18: I'm gonna get on every one of your points in

2017
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 18: a rapid fire, but real quick, if I can, to

2018
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 18: the callers, man, every show on your network is unique

2019
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 18: in their own way, and you're focused on sports and

2020
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,560
Speaker 18: discussing it, not some of the knucklehead things that you

2021
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 18: get done on other shows. Nothing. Those shows aren't good,

2022
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 18: they are.

2023
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 5: But I like that you stay focused on sports.

2024
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 1: So real quick on the.

2025
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 18: Uh on the Rogers situation, I'm deeler fan.

2026
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 20: Don't want them, don't need them.

2027
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 18: I think it's real simple. Draft the quarterback wherever you can,

2028
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 18: you know, whoever you feel solid.

2029
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,280
Speaker 2: Would you be okay with Sidor Sanders.

2030
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 18: In all seriousness, Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking Jackson Dart down.

2031
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 7: I think Dart.

2032
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 18: I'll take Tyler Shaw.

2033
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 7: You know it's gonna be developmental.

2034
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 18: Guy no matter who you grab. And I just don't

2035
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 18: think the Steelers and Chador a good fit organization and player.

2036
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 18: You know, I would go in and draft or not

2037
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:37,760
Speaker 18: draft the trade for for Kirk Cousin. Man, we have

2038
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 18: sowar year. Yes, we got sowary cap space for this year.

2039
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:42,720
Speaker 16: Next year.

2040
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 18: We got a Super Bowl ready defense. It's only going

2041
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 18: to be ready for another year, two years at most.

2042
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 7: And I would do that.

2043
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 2: And then and you got two stud receivers, rob two

2044
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 2: absolutely stud receivers that can genuinely stretch the field.

2045
01:43:58,320 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 18: I do like that.

2046
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 2: Actually, well yeah, I mean look, I listen, I run

2047
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,519
Speaker 2: hot and cold on Kirk Cousins. But he fits an

2048
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,680
Speaker 2: immediate need right now. And that's and I think that's

2049
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 2: a fair Yeah.

2050
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 18: Go ahead, No, no, no, he's he's exactly what you need.

2051
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 18: He's a character guy, he'll be good in the locker room.

2052
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 18: And you've got good receivers.

2053
01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 7: He's a pro man.

2054
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,560
Speaker 18: So on the Kaitlin Clark subject in the wn B

2055
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 18: A in general, I think it's an absolute joke that,

2056
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 18: you know, the way she's been treated. I think the

2057
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 18: w n b A needs to really embrace what they

2058
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 18: have right now instead of talking about striking and things

2059
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:36,720
Speaker 18: like that. They're not a profitable league. I mean, they're

2060
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 18: not even you know, maintaining you know, uh, you know,

2061
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 18: level level playing field. So I think that needs to

2062
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 18: go on. The retirement of the Jerseys, man, it's colorade.

2063
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 18: They can do whatever they want to do it. It

2064
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 18: does seem ridiculous, you know, but at the same time,

2065
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 18: you know what this is what lesser programs do. Same

2066
01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 18: thing in the NBA that you know, players get numbers

2067
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:03,600
Speaker 18: retired that probably don't deserve it because of the you know,

2068
01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 18: the team that they played for, in the organization they're with.

2069
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:09,800
Speaker 2: So all right, you're bringing up some excellent cover, a

2070
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 2: lot of good ground. Appreciate you hanging on tonight, Rob

2071
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 2: and bringing to some callers outstanding. Thanks so much for

2072
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:18,680
Speaker 2: taking the time to weigh in with your thoughts. And

2073
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 2: now listen, I've been teasing this for a while, so

2074
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:28,839
Speaker 2: without further ado, let's talk about Caitlin Clark's influence period. Facts,

2075
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,600
Speaker 2: just the facts, the popularity of women's basketball over the

2076
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 2: last year thanks to Caitlin Clark has been evident in

2077
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 2: the following ways. One, Kaitlin Clark made the Indiana Fever.

2078
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:48,080
Speaker 2: Talk about the Indiana Fever more ab unfranchise who'd had

2079
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,440
Speaker 2: little to no success in one of the smallest markets.

2080
01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:51,599
Speaker 7: In the NBA.

2081
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 2: Kaitlin Clark made the Fever the most watched team in

2082
01:45:56,360 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 2: the WNBA by a mile by a slide in her

2083
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 2: rookie year as the fourteen most watched NBA. Check that

2084
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 2: WNBA games this season. What do they all have in common?

2085
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 2: The fourteen most watched WNBA games, they included the Indiana Fever.

2086
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:22,680
Speaker 2: On top of that, Caitlin Clark no influence, huh. She

2087
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:26,639
Speaker 2: broke the record for most All Star votes for any

2088
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 2: player in w NBA history in her rookie year. Put

2089
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:35,320
Speaker 2: that in your pipe and smoke at GINO Orima. In

2090
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:39,639
Speaker 2: early September, the Indiana Fever, Yeah, the team Caitlin Clark

2091
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 2: plays for. They actually played in front of a TV

2092
01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:46,560
Speaker 2: audience that included one point three million viewers in a

2093
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 2: game against the Minnesota Lynx that was played at the

2094
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 2: same time as a week one Friday night NFL game

2095
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:58,920
Speaker 2: between the Eagles and Packers. In Caitlin Clark's first ever

2096
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 2: regular season finale against the Washington Mystics back on September nineteenth,

2097
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 2: they drew a crowd of twenty thousand, seven and eleven

2098
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 2: fans that sold out Capital One Arena, an NBA arena,

2099
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:17,440
Speaker 2: and set a new record for the highest attended WNBA

2100
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 2: regular season contest. Kaylan Clark also drew a w NBA

2101
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:28,559
Speaker 2: record one point eight four million viewers to her first

2102
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:32,200
Speaker 2: playoff game against the Connecticut Sun three days later on

2103
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 2: September twenty second, while at the same time going up

2104
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:39,560
Speaker 2: against a full NFL Sunday slate. She followed up with

2105
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,000
Speaker 2: another record audience two days later of two point six

2106
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 2: million viewers for Game two of the playoffs against the

2107
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 2: Connecticut Sun. Easy for me to say Kaitlin Clark's influence

2108
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 2: on the popularity of women's basketball over the last year

2109
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 2: is unmatched. But even after Kaitland Clark's fever season ended

2110
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 2: the w NBA playoffs, what happened then? It went off

2111
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 2: a cliff. The viewership went off a cliff. There was

2112
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 2: a tremendous drop off in viewership because Caitlyn Clark wasn't

2113
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 2: there anymore, and I believe it was. David Dennis Junior

2114
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 2: said he's looking forward to that with Katelyn Clark being

2115
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:29,240
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs, so then we can see how

2116
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 2: they could really do well. You saw how they did.

2117
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:33,760
Speaker 2: They dropped off a cliff there, Big Fella. The first

2118
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 2: game between the Aces and Liberty, a rematch of last

2119
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 2: year's WNBA Finals between two of the league's most popular

2120
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:44,759
Speaker 2: and successful teams, do an audience at nine hundred thousand.

2121
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 2: That's only fifty percent less than the Fevers game one

2122
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:52,000
Speaker 2: against his son, and that was the finals. Meanwhile, in

2123
01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 2: women's college basketball, after Caitlin Clark played in the first

2124
01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,640
Speaker 2: women's NCAA title game to get more viewers than the

2125
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:03,120
Speaker 2: men did, as an earlier as a caller earlier pointed

2126
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 2: out the men's did back in twenty twenty four, the

2127
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:10,519
Speaker 2: sport also women's college basketball, so a steep decline in

2128
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 2: ratings this year. So without Caitlin Clark in the tournament,

2129
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 2: the broadcasts of Yukon versus Ecla and South Carolina versus

2130
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:22,839
Speaker 2: Texas averaged just three point nine million viewers for ESPN.

2131
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 2: That was a sixty four percent decrease from the record

2132
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 2: setting ten point eight million viewers in twenty twenty four

2133
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:35,560
Speaker 2: because Caitlin Clark was no longer there, So is she influential?

2134
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:36,640
Speaker 22: You tell me.

2135
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:42,760
Speaker 2: Now, what's going to be Caitlin Clark's legacy irrespective of

2136
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 2: what Time magazine says. Real simple, here's Caitlin Clark's legacy.

2137
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 2: She managed to captivate the broader sports fan, the casual

2138
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:57,800
Speaker 2: sports fan, even the non sports fan. You'd never seen

2139
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:00,600
Speaker 2: a player sell tickets like Caitlyn Clark home or on

2140
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 2: the road. You've never seen a player driver ratings like

2141
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark. You've never had a player come close to

2142
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:11,719
Speaker 2: bring this many eyeballs to women's college basketball. You don't

2143
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 2: like caringet. You got a different agenda, and that's a

2144
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 2: you problem. There are objective truths and there are personal feelings.

2145
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 2: You get your personal feelings involved, you sound stupid and

2146
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 2: look funny. Kaitlyn Clark simply played the game differently in

2147
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:31,559
Speaker 2: college and still does. We've never really seen a player

2148
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 2: who consistently takes and makes logo threes, a player who

2149
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:40,680
Speaker 2: can face the floor like that. She can manipulate defenders,

2150
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,720
Speaker 2: her passes are accurate, her passes as snap She's one

2151
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 2: of the best passers the women's game has ever seen.

2152
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:52,719
Speaker 2: And yes, Caitlyn Clark broke dozens of records in college.

2153
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,880
Speaker 2: She scored just under four thousand points in her career

2154
01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,759
Speaker 2: and even thirty in her final game when IOWA lost

2155
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:02,800
Speaker 2: eighty seven to seventy five of the National Championship Game.

2156
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 2: Clark averaged just under thirty two points a gamer senior

2157
01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 2: year in college and twenty eight points for her career.

2158
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 2: She passed scoring legends like Pete Maravich and thennett Woodard.

2159
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 2: Those are facts. Those numbers are incredible, Those records are incredible.

2160
01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 2: They may or may not even be insurmountable, but Clark's

2161
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 2: legacy is far beyond the floor in the record books.

2162
01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:32,680
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark has shined and she continues to shine a

2163
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:37,639
Speaker 2: spotlight on women's basketball that's greater than any you've ever seen. Period.

2164
01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 2: Let's go back and again. This was the game with

2165
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:45,920
Speaker 2: Gagel Reese in twenty twenty three in the National Championship Game.

2166
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 2: A record nine point nine million viewers tuned in to

2167
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 2: watch that game, all right, and then in the following

2168
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:57,640
Speaker 2: season when IOWA came back and beat LSU and the

2169
01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 2: Elite eight. It averaged twelve point four four million viewers,

2170
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,439
Speaker 2: which is still the most watched women's college basketball game

2171
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:06,599
Speaker 2: in history, one of the most viewed games in any

2172
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 2: other sport other than the NFL in the past year.

2173
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 2: She's now in that territory. Okay, By the way, i

2174
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:16,400
Speaker 2: was sold out all of its home games and all

2175
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 2: but two on the road, and then ticket prices for

2176
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 2: iowa's regular season the home game against Ohio State were

2177
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,760
Speaker 2: the highest don record for any women's basketball game ever.

2178
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 2: That was her college career that lit the fuse for

2179
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 2: her WNBA career, which was also nothing short of sensational.

2180
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 2: And watch her pick up where she left off. You're

2181
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 2: going to see a lot more Caitlin Clark on TV

2182
01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 2: this year. I get it. The women's game has had

2183
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:45,080
Speaker 2: some great teams over the years. They've had great players

2184
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:49,240
Speaker 2: for a couple of decades, but no player before Caitlyn

2185
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 2: Clark has ever had the kind of impact on the

2186
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:57,720
Speaker 2: number of people watching period. If you're a women's basketball fan,

2187
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 2: you have to recognize and appreciate what he's done to

2188
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 2: grow the sport. If you're a sports fan, if you're

2189
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 2: a casuals fan, no player period This is undeniable. It's

2190
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 2: inarguable has done more to elevate the popularity of women's

2191
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 2: basketball and maybe even basketball in general than Caitlin Clark.

2192
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:22,759

2205
01:54:11,880 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 2: by Shipstation. Coming up, Dion had a thing or two

2206
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:22,639
Speaker 2: to say about the Jersey retirement controversy, and by the way,

2207
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 2: I have not forgotten. Okay, we are going to get

2208
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 2: to Aaron Rodgers' criticism of Aaron Glenn, and we are

2209
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 2: going to get to why I think Aaron Glenn had

2210
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:36,920
Speaker 2: no interest in being in the Aaron Rodgers business. And

2211
01:54:37,040 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 2: it's frankly hard to blame him. I'm Bernie Frattle. We

2212
01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 2: are coming to a line from the Las Vegas Fox

2213
01:54:43,080 --> 01:54:46,360
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Tireck dot com studios. Keep it locked. You

2214
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 2: listened to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2215
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:51,720
Speaker 2: I were back in the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports

2216
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 2: Radio special. Thanks to all the midnight callers tonight, really

2217
01:54:56,080 --> 01:55:01,080
Speaker 2: good stuff. Really appreciated people taking the time. I have

2218
01:55:01,360 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 2: plenty of opportunities to beloviate on Fox Sports Radio and

2219
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:07,760
Speaker 2: certainly appreciate folks who take the time to call in.

2220
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:11,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a minute to just, ever so

2221
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:16,760
Speaker 2: quickly unpack further this Dion Sanders shudor Sanders number of

2222
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 2: retirement and by the way, just a couple of tweetsech

2223
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 2: out here, Jeff Sorenson checks and Clark made Iowa women's

2224
01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 2: basketball relevant, and she brought ice to WNBA. She even

2225
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 2: got me to watch also Lakers up. Just my opinion,

2226
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:34,640
Speaker 2: Homer nineteen sixty seven. Yes, Caitlin Clark's appeal is huge,

2227
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,040
Speaker 2: but she still isn't enough to get me to watch

2228
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 2: the WNB. And I think those are both honest, fair comments.

2229
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:42,920
Speaker 2: Do with them what you will. I don't disagree with

2230
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:46,800
Speaker 2: either want really all right. So Thursday, Dion Sanders decided

2231
01:55:46,840 --> 01:55:50,480
Speaker 2: he would address the critics of Colorado's decision to retire

2232
01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:54,839
Speaker 2: the jersey numbers of Shudor Sanders and Travis Hunter. Sanders

2233
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 2: and Hunter, right, believe it or not, Prior to Sanders

2234
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 2: and Hunter having their jersey's retired, there are only four

2235
01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:07,560
Speaker 2: players in Colorado history to have their jerseys retired, and

2236
01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 2: I can't name them. I know Cordell Stewart's not one

2237
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 2: of them. I know my buddy Brank Pitcher's not one

2238
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:14,120
Speaker 2: of them. Chad Brown's not one of them. They're part

2239
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,560
Speaker 2: of the National Championship team where Sean salom Is he

2240
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:20,800
Speaker 2: won the Heisman Trophy. But this is a decision now

2241
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:22,880
Speaker 2: that Sanders and Hunter are the fifth and sixth players

2242
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 2: in Colorado history, It's not actually gone over that great

2243
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:30,720
Speaker 2: with fans and certainly some former players. So on Thursday,

2244
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:35,480
Speaker 2: Sanders decided he would address the controversy, particularly based on

2245
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 2: whether or not Shudor's number should have been retired. He

2246
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 2: said it was quote the first time you'd ever seen

2247
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:46,320
Speaker 2: anybody soar about a jersey retirement ceremony, and suggested Shador

2248
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 2: was dragged into the controversy because of his last name. No,

2249
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:52,040
Speaker 2: he was thirteen and twelve as a starter. I'm gonna

2250
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:53,760
Speaker 2: get to some reader comments in a second that are

2251
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: pretty revealing. Quote we're talking about Shudor. We ain't talking

2252
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:02,320
Speaker 2: about nobody else else. If his last name wasn't Sanders,

2253
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 2: we wouldn't be having this discussion. I don't think Dion's

2254
01:57:07,080 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 2: rebuttal holds up here. Okay. A number of very respected,

2255
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:17,640
Speaker 2: very accomplished Colorado players have voiced their objection, including Chad Brown,

2256
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 2: a linebacker on the nineteen ninety National Championship team. He

2257
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 2: was openly bothered that Sanders and Hunter were immediately honored

2258
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:29,240
Speaker 2: while many of his teammates thirty years later, I'm still

2259
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 2: waiting to receive the same recognition. Here's what he said.

2260
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 2: Quote Chad Brown said, if the players from the National

2261
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:37,839
Speaker 2: Championship team have not received such an honor by default,

2262
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 2: this action dismisses, this diminishes, and for a new generation

2263
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 2: of CU fans, erases their greatness. I would never minimize

2264
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 2: the impact of number two or twelve. They are amazing players,

2265
01:57:50,160 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 2: but this timing is poor. Many other fans pointed out

2266
01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:58,680
Speaker 2: correctly that at best Sanders and Hunter had modest success

2267
01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:02,080
Speaker 2: to the Hunter is a bona fide top two three pick,

2268
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:04,240
Speaker 2: should have a good career in the NFL and Heisman

2269
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:07,000
Speaker 2: Trophy winner. Okay, but they were still just thirteen and

2270
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,160
Speaker 2: twelve those two years. They didn't beat anybody good. Sanders

2271
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 2: is not going back on the decision, and you defended it,

2272
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 2: which led to comments that were posted on various sports

2273
01:58:18,320 --> 01:58:21,520
Speaker 2: media websites. Quote, shador is about to become the Trey

2274
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 2: Lance of the twenty twenty five draft. Neither did anything

2275
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:28,120
Speaker 2: to warrant Jersey retirement. Now that's a little harsh, a

2276
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 2: little better Trey Lance, But let's face it, I'm just

2277
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:35,400
Speaker 2: not I don't you know, you know, I feel atomic

2278
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 2: Asphalt says if his last name wasn't Sanders, he wouldn't

2279
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 2: beginning his number retired. Not we wouldn't have the discussion

2280
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 2: trivia question. Another comment from a listener reader, who else

2281
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 2: has their number retired before the next season has even started.

2282
01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 2: College retirements are for legends, many seem to be for

2283
01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 2: what they did later in the NFL asking with all seriousness. Obviously,

2284
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 2: neither of these guys deserve the yet no big wins,

2285
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 2: no astronomical stats. The word stupid isn't easy out, but

2286
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:07,280
Speaker 2: it really fits here. Last one this is a little

2287
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:10,960
Speaker 2: harsh too. Dion Wood is without a doubt clueless and

2288
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:13,600
Speaker 2: believes everyone should feel and think like Kim or they

2289
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:16,680
Speaker 2: are just stupid and don't know anything. Fortunately for us

2290
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:18,360
Speaker 2: and others, we all have a brain and we can

2291
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:21,480
Speaker 2: put things in context. Today, barely a five hundred record

2292
01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:24,520
Speaker 2: against less than the most challenging schedule in football one

2293
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 2: hundred might be an outstanding athlete, and Sanders had some

2294
01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 2: good stats, but again against the weaker schedule. If the

2295
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 2: AD and president had a pair, they would have said

2296
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 2: no to this. Look like one of the earlier callers said,

2297
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 2: Colorado can do whatever they want. It's their deal, and

2298
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:45,839
Speaker 2: if they see that this is warranted, fine, But it's

2299
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:50,200
Speaker 2: back to my lifeguard analogy. You may look the part

2300
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 2: and act the part, but eventually you're gonna have to

2301
01:59:52,240 --> 01:59:53,640
Speaker 2: show the world you can jump in the pool and

2302
01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 2: swim coming up brand newfool and what my name? Keep

Speaker 2: here on the Bernie Friddar Show, and as such, we

2329
02:01:23,960 --> 02:01:27,160
Speaker 2: notice that around this great country of ours, and across

2330
02:01:27,200 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 2: from the sea to Oily Sea, well, people do things.

2331
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:33,680
Speaker 2: People do things that well, they cause you to raise

2332
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:36,520
Speaker 2: your eyebrow. And oftentimes they're innocuous and stupid and silly

2333
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:39,480
Speaker 2: and harmless, but they can be more serious at times,

2334
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:41,720
Speaker 2: even run a file a law and have you end

2335
02:01:41,800 --> 02:01:44,480
Speaker 2: up in jail. But any way you slice it, any

2336
02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:47,240
Speaker 2: way you describe it, any way you characterize it, these

2337
02:01:47,320 --> 02:01:51,720
Speaker 2: goofy behaviors always leave us scratching our head and asking ourselves,

2338
02:01:52,240 --> 02:01:52,840
Speaker 2: what kind.

2339
02:01:52,720 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Of brand new full of you? What kind of brand

2340
02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 1: new fool are you?

2341
02:02:03,720 --> 02:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Well we take it to ok Blahoma City where a

2342
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:14,000
Speaker 2: man has been arrested. Well, I'm gonna get to that

2343
02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:16,880
Speaker 2: in just a second. All I know is that the

2344
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:20,520
Speaker 2: reporter witnessed, Hey, get away from that police card and

2345
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:23,840
Speaker 2: get on the ground is what the officer yelled at

2346
02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:29,120
Speaker 2: meet twenty seven year old mister Alfred Jabody. Since it

2347
02:02:29,360 --> 02:02:32,920
Speaker 2: actually happened a few months ago, and when the body

2348
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:36,360
Speaker 2: camera video caught up, mister j was lying on the

2349
02:02:36,440 --> 02:02:39,960
Speaker 2: ground and the officer approached moments after, well, what could

2350
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:44,600
Speaker 2: have possibly happened? Well, I guess mister J of Oklahoma

2351
02:02:44,680 --> 02:02:47,720
Speaker 2: City has like this habit. He's got an odd hobby.

2352
02:02:48,280 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 2: He lets throwing concrete blocks and large rocks at police cars.

2353
02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2354
02:02:56,200 --> 02:03:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what does the officer say. He says, well,

2355
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:03,520
Speaker 2: I was literally just driving by and just watching him

2356
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:05,440
Speaker 2: pick up this big old rock and smash it out.

2357
02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:05,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2358
02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:09,760
Speaker 2: Man, no, dude, it's done, dude. The officer who responded

2359
02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:13,080
Speaker 2: said to an officer who arrived moments later. But here's

2360
02:03:13,120 --> 02:03:18,280
Speaker 2: what's interesting, Okay, you got to be an idiot to

2361
02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:23,600
Speaker 2: throw concrete blocks at anything but a police car. Turns

2362
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:26,240
Speaker 2: out this wasn't the first or mister Jay he was

2363
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:28,480
Speaker 2: doing the same thing for doing it to a patrol

2364
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 2: unit four years ago, didn't get it another time, and

2365
02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:35,640
Speaker 2: then now three point thirty am on a Tuesday morning,

2366
02:03:36,120 --> 02:03:40,240
Speaker 2: he did it for a third time. Third time throwing

2367
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,600
Speaker 2: brick blocks at a police car.

2368
02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:43,720
Speaker 28: Quote.

2369
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,200
Speaker 2: An officer was walking out of headquarters. That's when he

2370
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:48,520
Speaker 2: saw a man who happened to be vandalyzing a scout

2371
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:51,680
Speaker 2: car that was parked outside of headquarters. The man and

2372
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:55,440
Speaker 2: throwing a concrete block through one of the windows and

2373
02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 2: was attempting to get a concrete block through another window.

2374
02:03:58,840 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 2: An officer morgan report. And each time it happens, the

2375
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:06,600
Speaker 2: patrol vehicle is either parked in front of the Oklahoma

2376
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:11,000
Speaker 2: City Police headquarters or driving by. So he's throwing brick

2377
02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:13,640
Speaker 2: blocks at police cars. He's done it at his three

2378
02:04:13,720 --> 02:04:18,240
Speaker 2: times right in front of police headquarters. Well, finally he

2379
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:21,560
Speaker 2: gave up. He's been taken into custody. He went peacefully. However,

2380
02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:26,360
Speaker 2: the officers asked, mister J, why are you doing this.

2381
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Mister Jay's answer, I don't know. At least he gave

2382
02:04:32,320 --> 02:04:35,680
Speaker 2: him some thought. Thankfully, no human beings were hurt. And oh,

2383
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 2: by the way, mister J also has a body of work.

2384
02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 2: He was once arrested for assaulting a detention officer. In

2385
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:48,600
Speaker 2: the past. Mister J of Oklahoma City throwing blocks, concrete blocks,

2386
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:51,480
Speaker 2: large rocks at police cars multiple times in front of

2387
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:58,440
Speaker 2: the police department. What kind of brand new fooler. You Okay, Brianna,

2388
02:04:58,480 --> 02:04:59,160
Speaker 2: you've got the floor.

2389
02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 29: Can you imagine in doing something like that? And then

2390
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:03,040
Speaker 29: they ask you and all you can say.

2391
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 2: Is, I don't know. This guy sounds like a real genius.

2392
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:11,480
Speaker 30: Yeah, wow, thoughts in prayers anyways, So you know, whenever

2393
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:14,320
Speaker 30: you go shopping for a new car, you have the

2394
02:05:14,440 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 30: opportunity to test drive something.

2395
02:05:17,160 --> 02:05:18,800
Speaker 29: And most of the time I just bought.

2396
02:05:18,640 --> 02:05:21,440
Speaker 30: A new car last year, I usually have like a

2397
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:24,760
Speaker 30: guy from the dealership go with me, right, like, you know,

2398
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 30: they're responsible for the car. So Tesla, I guess trusts

2399
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 30: their prospective buyers a lot because they actually give the

2400
02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:37,400
Speaker 30: opportunity for the people to test drive and have like

2401
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 30: a half an hour to actually go out and just

2402
02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:41,400
Speaker 30: you know, drive around.

2403
02:05:41,560 --> 02:05:41,680
Speaker 2: Right.

2404
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,839
Speaker 29: So you see those those huge Tesla cyber trucks, those.

2405
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,320
Speaker 30: Funky ones that kind of look like it's like hat yeah,

2406
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:52,920
Speaker 30: like little transformers, kind of creepy army type things. All right,

2407
02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 30: So this Florida man, obviously in honor producer Shay, he

2408
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:00,400
Speaker 30: had a different kind of interpretation of half an hour.

2409
02:06:00,960 --> 02:06:02,880
Speaker 29: He took the Testlas cyber.

2410
02:06:02,680 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 30: Truck test drive for five days before the brand repossessed

2411
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 30: the electric truck. This guy, we'll call him mister Smith,

2412
02:06:14,040 --> 02:06:17,720
Speaker 30: visited the Tesla store in Tampa, Florida, on March twenty sixth.

2413
02:06:17,840 --> 02:06:21,000
Speaker 30: He requested the full bore cyber beast version, which is

2414
02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:24,600
Speaker 30: I guess, the top of the line Tesla and assigned.

2415
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,200
Speaker 29: An agreement to return it in a half an hour.

2416
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 29: He gave a driver's license, you know, to retain.

2417
02:06:30,280 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 30: And two copies of like credit cards kind of thing,

2418
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:35,640
Speaker 30: and then he took off with the truck and did

2419
02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:39,720
Speaker 30: not return. Tesla emailed him, They called him, and the

2420
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:41,720
Speaker 30: phone number was obviously disconnected.

2421
02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:43,800
Speaker 29: They tried to look up those credit cards.

2422
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:47,800
Speaker 30: They were stolen credit cards and so obviously, you know,

2423
02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:50,560
Speaker 30: not the best American citizen over here.

2424
02:06:51,080 --> 02:06:54,520
Speaker 29: They tracked down the car five days later where they.

2425
02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:58,000
Speaker 30: Saw that Smith was engaged at would have been running

2426
02:06:58,000 --> 02:06:59,440
Speaker 30: an errand at home depot.

2427
02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:05,960
Speaker 29: So the Tesla at a Tesla employee.

2428
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 30: Found you know, the car and videotape the guy with

2429
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:10,800
Speaker 30: the cyber truck and then repossessed the vehicle when he

2430
02:07:11,040 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 30: was inside the store.

2431
02:07:12,880 --> 02:07:13,320
Speaker 5: He was not.

2432
02:07:13,440 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 30: Apprehended when he was at home depot, Like, they didn't

2433
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:19,360
Speaker 30: do anything. He was the one that returned to Tesla

2434
02:07:19,560 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 30: the next stay to reclaim his belongings that he had

2435
02:07:23,520 --> 02:07:27,520
Speaker 30: left in the vehicle. So, like, you know, I don't

2436
02:07:27,520 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 30: know if he would have been caught eventually, but he

2437
02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:32,240
Speaker 30: actually just like showed up at Tesla to like, you know,

2438
02:07:32,440 --> 02:07:35,240
Speaker 30: give up to you know, take care of his stuff

2439
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:38,840
Speaker 30: that he had left in the vehicle itself. So, just

2440
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:42,040
Speaker 30: in regards to how much that cyber truck is kind

2441
02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:45,480
Speaker 30: of like worth, it starts at ninety nine thousand dollars.

2442
02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 30: The delivery destination handling fee pushes the sticker price over

2443
02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 30: one hundred thousand dollars. So he is now facing a

2444
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 30: charge of grand theft over one hundred thousand dollars, which

2445
02:07:57,120 --> 02:07:59,880
Speaker 30: is considered a first degree felony instead of a second

2446
02:08:00,040 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 30: agree felony and comes with a potential thirty year prison sentence.

2447
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:07,080
Speaker 30: So when he went to go pick up the vehicle,

2448
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:11,080
Speaker 30: they just called the police and they came and arrested him. So,

2449
02:08:11,520 --> 02:08:14,800
Speaker 30: mister Smith of Florida, what kind of brand new fool

2450
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 30: are you?

2451
02:08:16,720 --> 02:08:18,160
Speaker 2: I was wondering where that was going to end up.

2452
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:21,600
Speaker 2: I always thought it was for insurance purposes. The salesman

2453
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 2: had to ride with you when they were driving the car, and.

2454
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:26,680
Speaker 30: I guess maybe because Tesla is just so uppity up,

2455
02:08:26,880 --> 02:08:29,240
Speaker 30: they're just like, oh, go ahead, you know, just take

2456
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 30: it for a little joy ride.

2457
02:08:30,480 --> 02:08:33,440
Speaker 29: Half hours policy.

2458
02:08:33,680 --> 02:08:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, all right, couple of good brand new fools,

2459
02:08:37,400 --> 02:08:41,520
Speaker 2: and that these people always managed to earn their stripes,

2460
02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:44,880
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. So that concludes another rousing edition

2461
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:46,480
Speaker 2: of what kind of brand new fool are You, which

2462
02:08:46,520 --> 02:08:52,120
Speaker 2: now allows us to segue into our next favorite, a

2463
02:08:52,320 --> 02:08:58,480
Speaker 2: bit which we call what my Name? All right, Well,

2464
02:08:58,520 --> 02:09:00,960
Speaker 2: so we just finished up the Master There's Golf tournament

2465
02:09:01,080 --> 02:09:04,320
Speaker 2: in fine fashion last week, so we'll begin with a

2466
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:11,640
Speaker 2: couple of golf questions. I just recently became only the

2467
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:18,120
Speaker 2: second professional golfer of all time to achieve one hundred

2468
02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:23,160
Speaker 2: million dollars of golf earnings. It doesn't include commercial earnings

2469
02:09:23,240 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 2: or advertising earnings.

2470
02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:24,600
Speaker 24: Or anything like that.

2471
02:09:24,680 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 2: One hundred million dollars in golf earnings, Brianna, what my name?

2472
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:31,919
Speaker 29: I'm just gonna throw out Roy McRoy because.

2473
02:09:31,680 --> 02:09:34,280
Speaker 2: He just wanted Jack Bory at Mackroy. Yes, they announced

2474
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:37,200
Speaker 2: it right after win or win or off and running. Yeah,

2475
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:41,320
Speaker 2: they announced it right afterward. And of course it doesn't

2476
02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:44,280
Speaker 2: surprise me with the size of today's pursues today. So,

2477
02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, Rory was only the second golfer of

2478
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 2: all time to earn one hundred million dollars in golf earnings.

2479
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:56,720
Speaker 2: I was actually the first golfer of all time professional

2480
02:09:57,040 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 2: to turn one hundred million dollars in earnings on the

2481
02:09:59,240 --> 02:10:02,440
Speaker 2: course alone. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2482
02:10:04,680 --> 02:10:05,400
Speaker 29: Jack Nicholas.

2483
02:10:06,120 --> 02:10:09,200
Speaker 2: He just is right behind Jack Nicholas in the number

2484
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:13,440
Speaker 2: of major tournaments. Think about it. He couldn't play in

2485
02:10:13,520 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 2: this year's Masters because he had an achilles injury. Tiger

2486
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 2: Woods is right. Two for two, We'll have one more

2487
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:27,160
Speaker 2: golf and this one I think is pretty interesting because

2488
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 2: just recently I became the only golfer in history to

2489
02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:37,840
Speaker 2: win the Masters despite having four double bogies in the

2490
02:10:37,920 --> 02:10:38,520
Speaker 2: same round.

2491
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:42,440
Speaker 29: Brianna, what my name, Scottie Scheffler.

2492
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:46,160
Speaker 2: That's not a bad guy. Think about it. He just

2493
02:10:46,360 --> 02:10:54,280
Speaker 2: won the Masters. Yeah, he had the four bogies. Yeah,

2494
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:58,560
Speaker 2: and so that that's never that's never been done. I

2495
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:00,480
Speaker 2: might have botched that. It might have been throughout the

2496
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 2: tournament he had four total bogie double bogies, not the

2497
02:11:03,880 --> 02:11:06,120
Speaker 2: that's wrong. It wasn't the final round, but it was

2498
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:08,560
Speaker 2: four double bogies for the entire tournament, which is also

2499
02:11:09,120 --> 02:11:11,000
Speaker 2: never been done. There have been three double bogies when

2500
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:13,800
Speaker 2: people have recovered from so good Ferrari. It was quite

2501
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:16,760
Speaker 2: a victory. It was quite a master's on Sunday. Okay,

2502
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:21,680
Speaker 2: let's switch to hockey. I just became the all time

2503
02:11:21,880 --> 02:11:27,360
Speaker 2: leading goal scorer in the NHL. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2504
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:33,720
Speaker 2: I played for the Washington Capitals and I'm Russian, mister

2505
02:11:34,160 --> 02:11:41,480
Speaker 2: Ovichkin out standing, four for four everybody, Alex Ovechkin, Well,

2506
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:45,440
Speaker 2: he had to break somebody's record. Alex Ovechkin had to

2507
02:11:45,480 --> 02:11:48,280
Speaker 2: break somebody's record of the all time leading goal scorer,

2508
02:11:49,240 --> 02:11:52,400
Speaker 2: and it was mine, Branna, what my name?

2509
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:55,200
Speaker 1: My nickname was the great one, Wayne Gretzky.

2510
02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:58,920
Speaker 2: It is, of course Wayne Gretzky, who was there the night.

2511
02:11:59,080 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 2: He had to travel within the following week, the final

2512
02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 2: week to be on hand while while Ovechkin did it. Okay,

2513
02:12:07,880 --> 02:12:11,840
Speaker 2: last one, Let's switch to basketball. Well, we talked about

2514
02:12:11,880 --> 02:12:15,240
Speaker 2: this earlier with Mark Medina. Tonight. The Lakers have won

2515
02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:18,880
Speaker 2: a championship in recent times. The last time the Lakers

2516
02:12:18,920 --> 02:12:24,120
Speaker 2: won a championship, I was the head coach. Mark Ramsey,

2517
02:12:24,360 --> 02:12:31,760
Speaker 2: what my name is? It Doug Collins, Frank Vogel, or

2518
02:12:31,840 --> 02:12:32,560
Speaker 2: Chris Purfett.

2519
02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Chris, I mean Vogel.

2520
02:12:36,440 --> 02:12:39,200
Speaker 2: It is, in fact Frank Vogel a very good coach.

2521
02:12:39,280 --> 02:12:43,440
Speaker 2: By the way, he was fired afterward. Think Lebron had something.

2522
02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:44,760
Speaker 1: To do with that. Yeah, what do you have done?

2523
02:12:44,840 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 1: What have you done for me lately?

2524
02:12:46,280 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2525
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing all these coaches getting fired after winning championships? Okay,

2526
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 2: everybody went five for five tonight. Excellent job and excellent

2527
02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:57,880
Speaker 2: job on brand newfool what my name? And that will

2528
02:12:58,440 --> 02:13:01,400
Speaker 2: bring us to a conclusion. And I want to listen.

2529
02:13:01,480 --> 02:13:05,960
Speaker 2: I want to I want to delve into this. Before

2530

02:13:28,480 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 2: up on your screen all right before I get to

2540
02:13:33,720 --> 02:13:37,880
Speaker 2: why Aaron Glenn. I call this Aaron versus Aaron, and

2541
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 2: nobody won. Nobody won because I'm not I can't really

2542
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,200
Speaker 2: blame Aaron Glenn for taking the position he had. But

2543
02:13:45,240 --> 02:13:47,680
Speaker 2: right off the gate, right off the bat, it just

2544
02:13:48,080 --> 02:13:54,360
Speaker 2: once again illustrates the clunky, discombobulated methods with which the

2545
02:13:54,520 --> 02:13:57,800
Speaker 2: Jets do business. This whole thing just looks bad. And

2546
02:13:57,880 --> 02:14:01,520
Speaker 2: then you got Aaron Rodgers going on Pat McAfee, which

2547
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:03,920
Speaker 2: is a safe space for him because he wanted to

2548
02:14:03,960 --> 02:14:07,560
Speaker 2: set things straight about his playing future. And frankly, the

2549
02:14:07,680 --> 02:14:09,680
Speaker 2: thing about Aaron Rodgers at this point, if he told

2550
02:14:09,720 --> 02:14:11,480
Speaker 2: me he was gonna be eighty and sunny tomorrow, buy

2551
02:14:11,520 --> 02:14:14,120
Speaker 2: three top coats. But he starts off by saying, quote,

2552
02:14:14,520 --> 02:14:16,880
Speaker 2: I figured when I flew across country on my dime,

2553
02:14:17,600 --> 02:14:19,280
Speaker 2: I feel real bad for you, Aaron, You've only made

2554
02:14:19,280 --> 02:14:21,280
Speaker 2: about four hundred million in your career. There would be

2555
02:14:21,320 --> 02:14:24,320
Speaker 2: a conversation. So he says, I meet with the coach.

2556
02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:27,160
Speaker 2: We start talking, he runs out of the room. I'm like,

2557
02:14:27,360 --> 02:14:29,800
Speaker 2: that's strange. Then he comes back with a GM. So

2558
02:14:29,920 --> 02:14:31,080
Speaker 2: we sit down and I think we're going to have

2559
02:14:31,160 --> 02:14:34,560
Speaker 2: this long conversation. I'll flowing across country in twenty seconds,

2560
02:14:34,640 --> 02:14:37,560
Speaker 2: and I'm talking to the GM and Glenn. That's coach

2561
02:14:37,680 --> 02:14:40,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn and the new head coach came over from Detroit,

2562
02:14:40,080 --> 02:14:42,840
Speaker 2: the former defensive coordinator. He leans to the edge of

2563
02:14:42,840 --> 02:14:45,200
Speaker 2: his seat and says, you sure you want to play football?

2564
02:14:45,200 --> 02:14:46,720
Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, I'm interested. And he said, well,

2565
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:49,400
Speaker 2: we're going in a different direction of quarterback. Is if

2566
02:14:49,480 --> 02:14:52,240
Speaker 2: Rogers really didn't know that, how could you not know that?

2567
02:14:52,360 --> 02:14:55,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rogers said Glenn that asked him about the messaging

2568
02:14:56,120 --> 02:14:59,520
Speaker 2: of how he wanted his release to be announced. According

2569
02:14:59,560 --> 02:15:01,720
Speaker 2: to Roger, Glenn said, quote, I don't want to be

2570
02:15:01,760 --> 02:15:03,800
Speaker 2: in front of the room saying something and have guys

2571
02:15:03,880 --> 02:15:07,240
Speaker 2: looking back at you. So that's a dumb comment by

2572
02:15:07,280 --> 02:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn because at first he was like, Okay, let's

2573
02:15:09,680 --> 02:15:11,680
Speaker 2: let's at least close this with some dignity because you're

2574
02:15:11,680 --> 02:15:13,320
Speaker 2: gonna go to the Hall of Fame. I don't want

2575
02:15:13,360 --> 02:15:15,880
Speaker 2: you on my team. I'd rather have Justin Fields, who's

2576
02:15:15,880 --> 02:15:18,320
Speaker 2: fourteen and thirty as a starter. Good luck with that one.

2577
02:15:18,600 --> 02:15:21,000
Speaker 2: Just prove me wrong this year. I'll take my medicine

2578
02:15:21,000 --> 02:15:24,000
Speaker 2: if Justin feels easy to the playoffs. Ain't gonna happen, okay,

2579
02:15:24,680 --> 02:15:26,640
Speaker 2: and Rodgers said, are you assuming I would be in

2580
02:15:26,680 --> 02:15:28,960
Speaker 2: the back of the room during a team meeting underminding

2581
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:29,560
Speaker 2: what you're saying?

2582
02:15:29,880 --> 02:15:30,520
Speaker 1: You don't know me?

2583
02:15:31,160 --> 02:15:34,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Glynn says, you don't know me. Then Aaron Rodgers said, exactly,

2584
02:15:35,040 --> 02:15:36,720
Speaker 2: That's why I flew across the country to have a

2585
02:15:36,760 --> 02:15:38,600
Speaker 2: face to face meeting with you. So do you think

2586
02:15:38,760 --> 02:15:42,280
Speaker 2: either one of these guys comes out looking good? Rogers

2587
02:15:42,360 --> 02:15:45,840
Speaker 2: went on to say, I felt there wasn't an ample

2588
02:15:45,920 --> 02:15:49,000
Speaker 2: amount of respect in that meeting. I guess I shouldn't

2589
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:51,800
Speaker 2: have been surprised based on some things I saw over

2590
02:15:51,840 --> 02:15:56,240
Speaker 2: the two years. Look, let's be fair here, let's be honest.

2591
02:15:57,000 --> 02:16:01,040
Speaker 2: Rogers started all seventeen games in twenty twenty five. The

2592
02:16:01,160 --> 02:16:04,320
Speaker 2: Jets were five and twelve. After week four, the owner,

2593
02:16:04,360 --> 02:16:10,560
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson suggested that Rogers be benched. A week later,

2594
02:16:11,200 --> 02:16:15,000
Speaker 2: head coach Robert Salid was fired. Then their offensive coordinator

2595
02:16:15,520 --> 02:16:18,960
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Hackett, who had been a close friend of Aaron Rodgers,

2596
02:16:19,400 --> 02:16:24,440
Speaker 2: was demoted. Then GM Joe Douglas was fired in November

2597
02:16:25,680 --> 02:16:28,000
Speaker 2: outthern NET missus. Lincoln how was to play and at

2598
02:16:28,080 --> 02:16:33,080
Speaker 2: the NFL scouting combine in February. Listen, the Jets were

2599
02:16:33,120 --> 02:16:36,040
Speaker 2: asked about the team's decision to part ways with Rogers. Okay,

2600
02:16:36,760 --> 02:16:38,720
Speaker 2: they basically said, look, we felt like the best thing

2601
02:16:38,840 --> 02:16:41,120
Speaker 2: moving forward for the Jets was to go in a

2602
02:16:41,160 --> 02:16:44,600
Speaker 2: different direction of quarterback. Do you think I mean? Look,

2603
02:16:45,160 --> 02:16:51,000
Speaker 2: I got fooled. I have to take my medicine, turning

2604
02:16:51,040 --> 02:16:52,680
Speaker 2: the clock back to a year ago, and I said,

2605
02:16:52,680 --> 02:16:55,680
Speaker 2: as long as Rogers is healthy, I think they are

2606
02:16:57,200 --> 02:16:59,920
Speaker 2: they are going to make the playoffs, all right. I

2607
02:17:00,160 --> 02:17:03,680
Speaker 2: really believe that that Rogers would have been at least

2608
02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:06,800
Speaker 2: perhaps one of the missing links the Jets told us.

2609
02:17:07,720 --> 02:17:12,720
Speaker 2: They told us everything was in place, all we needed

2610
02:17:12,879 --> 02:17:17,240
Speaker 2: was the quarterback. All we're missing is the quarterback. So

2611
02:17:17,760 --> 02:17:20,560
Speaker 2: in March, the Jets signed Justin Fields to be their

2612
02:17:20,600 --> 02:17:25,520
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. Now, regarding Rogers and his playing future, he said, quote,

2613
02:17:25,800 --> 02:17:29,240
Speaker 2: he's open to anything and attached to nothing. Come on,

2614
02:17:29,360 --> 02:17:32,800
Speaker 2: that's just bullvine scatology. You're not open to anything. You

2615
02:17:32,879 --> 02:17:35,880
Speaker 2: didn't want to go to the New York Giants. I

2616
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:38,560
Speaker 2: think you want to go to the Minnesota Vikings, even

2617
02:17:38,600 --> 02:17:41,920
Speaker 2: though you deny that in the McAfee interview and the

2618
02:17:41,959 --> 02:17:44,680
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers have been waiting there for you. Here's a

2619
02:17:44,840 --> 02:17:47,480
Speaker 2: chance to really do something with some quality receivers to

2620
02:17:47,560 --> 02:17:50,720
Speaker 2: go to and an excellent coulture in a proud football town,

2621
02:17:51,240 --> 02:17:53,280
Speaker 2: and you thumb your nose at it. Just the way

2622
02:17:53,320 --> 02:17:57,040
Speaker 2: you've handled this. You know, most human beings are reasonable.

2623
02:17:57,200 --> 02:17:58,960
Speaker 2: They can deal with good news, they can do with

2624
02:17:59,040 --> 02:18:01,520
Speaker 2: bad news. They don't want to do with uncertainty. This

2625
02:18:01,840 --> 02:18:06,080
Speaker 2: is just uncertainty with a capital ute. Now my humble

2626
02:18:06,160 --> 02:18:10,040
Speaker 2: opinion not a prediction. It's an opinion. Rogers will end

2627
02:18:10,120 --> 02:18:13,840
Speaker 2: up with Pittsburgh. Okay, now they're still saying retirement could

2628
02:18:13,840 --> 02:18:17,880
Speaker 2: be a possibility. Rogers said, quote, Right now, my focus

2629
02:18:18,080 --> 02:18:21,199
Speaker 2: has been it will continue to be on my personal

2630
02:18:21,280 --> 02:18:27,480
Speaker 2: life as far as what mowing the lawn. That's what

2631
02:18:27,560 --> 02:18:30,720
Speaker 2: I've told the coaches. There are still conversations that are

2632
02:18:30,760 --> 02:18:33,920
Speaker 2: being had. It has been very honest lines of communication.

2633
02:18:34,080 --> 02:18:37,039
Speaker 2: I really appreciate the time I talked to various teams,

2634
02:18:37,360 --> 02:18:40,160
Speaker 2: but there's been lots of narratives that have not been

2635
02:18:40,240 --> 02:18:43,119
Speaker 2: anywhere near accurate. Well then why don't you straighten it out?

2636
02:18:44,080 --> 02:18:48,640
Speaker 2: During a nearly forty minute conversation And I did my

2637
02:18:48,760 --> 02:18:50,840
Speaker 2: best not to watch it, but I watched the highlights

2638
02:18:51,680 --> 02:18:56,840
Speaker 2: because Pat McAfee is his shill, right, and Rogers spoke

2639
02:18:56,920 --> 02:18:59,920
Speaker 2: on what he said where some of the rumors surround

2640
02:19:00,160 --> 02:19:03,760
Speaker 2: his free agency and this whole off season, which has

2641
02:19:03,800 --> 02:19:07,920
Speaker 2: been a train wreck. Rogers said, quote, I've been straight

2642
02:19:08,040 --> 02:19:09,960
Speaker 2: up with these teams from the start about where I

2643
02:19:10,160 --> 02:19:13,120
Speaker 2: was as Starting with the money thing. I told every

2644
02:19:13,160 --> 02:19:14,840
Speaker 2: single one of the teams I talked to it ain't

2645
02:19:14,840 --> 02:19:19,320
Speaker 2: about the money. Yeah, kind of like Nico or kind

2646
02:19:19,360 --> 02:19:23,080
Speaker 2: of like Miles Garrett. No, when you say it's about

2647
02:19:23,360 --> 02:19:25,600
Speaker 2: not about the money, it's about the money. He ain't

2648
02:19:25,600 --> 02:19:27,720
Speaker 2: gonna play for free. He told every single one of

2649
02:19:27,720 --> 02:19:29,000
Speaker 2: the teams I talked to you, Ab I'll play for

2650
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:32,039
Speaker 2: ten million. Okay, I never once see it. I needed

2651
02:19:32,040 --> 02:19:36,240
Speaker 2: a multi year deal, thirty forty million. It's absolutely bulls hit.

2652
02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:38,560
Speaker 2: I said, I'll play for ten million. That's what I

2653
02:19:38,600 --> 02:19:40,520
Speaker 2: told him in the march, at the very beginning. No

2654
02:19:40,640 --> 02:19:43,800
Speaker 2: one is saying you're demanding money. Everybody's wondering what the

2655
02:19:43,840 --> 02:19:47,400
Speaker 2: hell you're doing, which we know you're doing. You're doing

2656
02:19:47,440 --> 02:19:49,080
Speaker 2: what you always doing. You did the same thing when

2657
02:19:49,080 --> 02:19:51,560
Speaker 2: you left Green Bay. You did the same thing about

2658
02:19:51,959 --> 02:19:54,879
Speaker 2: when you were considering retiring before you came back last year,

2659
02:19:55,120 --> 02:19:57,439
Speaker 2: which we knew you weren't gonna do. Or the Ayahuascar

2660
02:19:57,600 --> 02:20:00,720
Speaker 2: or the dark room or traveling to Egypt. Dud, dude,

2661
02:20:00,760 --> 02:20:00,920
Speaker 2: you do.

2662
02:20:01,200 --> 02:20:01,800
Speaker 16: This is what you do.

2663
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:05,959
Speaker 2: Man, You're a crazy maker. We don't care about your

2664
02:20:06,040 --> 02:20:08,800
Speaker 2: personal life. You are a public figure. You are a

2665
02:20:08,879 --> 02:20:11,720
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame quarterback. You can praise Mike Tomlin all

2666
02:20:11,800 --> 02:20:14,440
Speaker 2: you want, and you know what, you don't know any

2667
02:20:14,480 --> 02:20:16,920
Speaker 2: if it's anything, you don't have to make a decision.

2668
02:20:17,680 --> 02:20:20,280
Speaker 2: Do what the hell you want to do. But just

2669
02:20:20,480 --> 02:20:23,840
Speaker 2: know that we are watching because this is in fact

2670

2681
02:20:57,320 --> 02:21:02,160
Speaker 2: my dissertation as to why Aaron Glenn, new head coach

2682
02:21:02,240 --> 02:21:05,800
Speaker 2: of the Jets, has no interest in being in the

2683
02:21:05,879 --> 02:21:09,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers business and why I believe the Jets were

2684
02:21:09,440 --> 02:21:13,800
Speaker 2: frankly right to show Aaron Rodgers the door. By the way,

2698
02:22:00,040 --> 02:22:05,040
Speaker 2: American football, but we also cover the football spelled fut

2699
02:22:05,800 --> 02:22:11,000
Speaker 2: bol that's played in the US and internationally around the world.

2700

Speaker 2: At the end.

2703
02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:35,200
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2704
02:22:35,800 --> 02:22:38,879
Speaker 31: The stumble for Wrexham down the block means the club

2705
02:22:39,320 --> 02:22:42,000
Speaker 31: that is the star of Welcome to Rexham, featuring its

2706
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:46,280
Speaker 31: owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny, is grasping for a

2707
02:22:46,440 --> 02:22:50,160
Speaker 31: little bit of hope. After being in command of the

2708
02:22:50,760 --> 02:22:54,200
Speaker 31: automatic promotion in League One for most of the year,

2709
02:22:54,640 --> 02:22:57,400
Speaker 31: Rexham has taken a little bit of a tumble and

2710
02:22:57,600 --> 02:23:00,240
Speaker 31: of course you must give credit to the tea that

2711
02:23:00,280 --> 02:23:03,119
Speaker 31: has been chasing this from this entire time, the Wycombe Wanderers,

2712
02:23:03,520 --> 02:23:06,880
Speaker 31: who have won three of their last four matches so

2713
02:23:07,160 --> 02:23:12,440
Speaker 31: far in League One. Rexham, however, not nearly as even keeled.

2714
02:23:12,560 --> 02:23:16,160
Speaker 31: A few draws three of their last four has seen

2715
02:23:16,240 --> 02:23:20,320
Speaker 31: the teams stumble down to third, which is still a

2716
02:23:20,440 --> 02:23:23,280
Speaker 31: chance to be promoted to the English League Championship, but

2717
02:23:23,360 --> 02:23:26,320
Speaker 31: they would have to go through a playoff tournament to

2718
02:23:26,520 --> 02:23:29,360
Speaker 31: make it up there if they remained there. There are

2719
02:23:29,520 --> 02:23:35,640
Speaker 31: three match days remaining four League One Wycombe Wanderers and

2720
02:23:35,879 --> 02:23:39,760
Speaker 31: Wrexham both have three apiece. There's no hope to catch

2721
02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:42,480
Speaker 31: number one at this point on the table. That club

2722
02:23:42,560 --> 02:23:46,160
Speaker 31: has done tremendously well. But Rexham is seeking its third

2723
02:23:47,080 --> 02:23:50,000
Speaker 31: promotion in three years and if they did so, they

2724
02:23:50,040 --> 02:23:52,920
Speaker 31: would move all the way to the English League Championship,

2725
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:55,640
Speaker 31: which is the doorstep of the Premier League. However, that

2726
02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:58,600
Speaker 31: might be in jeopardy at least unless they can prove

2727
02:23:58,640 --> 02:24:01,520
Speaker 31: it on the pitch, but that's the appetizer for world

2728
02:24:01,560 --> 02:24:04,440
Speaker 31: of soccer. These semi finals for the UEFA Champions League

2729
02:24:04,480 --> 02:24:08,400
Speaker 31: are set with four of the great powers of Europe

2730
02:24:08,440 --> 02:24:13,240
Speaker 31: all represented. England's Arsenal taking on Francis Paris Saint Germain

2731
02:24:13,800 --> 02:24:17,360
Speaker 31: in one side of the bracket, while Spain's Barcelona takes

2732
02:24:17,400 --> 02:24:21,040
Speaker 31: on Italy's Inter Milan on the other side. It's been

2733
02:24:21,080 --> 02:24:25,160
Speaker 31: a fascinating tournament so far. Real Madrid, who looked like

2734
02:24:25,240 --> 02:24:27,120
Speaker 31: they were far down, looked like they were going to

2735
02:24:27,200 --> 02:24:29,520
Speaker 31: have a little bit of magic, as they had stomped

2736
02:24:29,520 --> 02:24:32,760
Speaker 31: all over Manchester City in the knockout phase the playoffs

2737
02:24:32,760 --> 02:24:36,640
Speaker 31: in the round of sixteen, taking on their in city

2738
02:24:36,840 --> 02:24:40,280
Speaker 31: rival at laty Co Madrid, but then running into an

2739
02:24:40,400 --> 02:24:44,119
Speaker 31: Arsenal team that has been everything that we shall say

2740
02:24:44,320 --> 02:24:47,080
Speaker 31: goes under the definition of the word hot. They had

2741
02:24:47,120 --> 02:24:49,920
Speaker 31: a nine to three aggregate over PSV in the round

2742
02:24:49,959 --> 02:24:54,080
Speaker 31: of sixteen, stomped on Real Madrid five to one in

2743
02:24:54,240 --> 02:24:57,840
Speaker 31: the aggregate, which is kind of surprising considering Arsenal has

2744
02:24:57,959 --> 02:25:01,520
Speaker 31: had a lot of stumbling blocks here in Premier League play.

2745
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:04,240
Speaker 31: But if they have anything to focus on right now,

2746
02:25:04,280 --> 02:25:06,480
Speaker 31: because they will finish too, they will not catch Liverpool.

2747
02:25:06,720 --> 02:25:08,959
Speaker 31: It might as well be going for the Champions League

2748
02:25:09,080 --> 02:25:12,120
Speaker 31: to be the masters of Europe. The Gunners, however, are

2749
02:25:12,200 --> 02:25:16,760
Speaker 31: taking on a very hot parising Germain team. After a

2750
02:25:17,280 --> 02:25:21,600
Speaker 31: strong battle with Liverpool and Aston Villa. It seems like

2751
02:25:21,840 --> 02:25:24,200
Speaker 31: the Parisians have kind of had their hands full with

2752
02:25:24,840 --> 02:25:29,240
Speaker 31: English clubs. At the same time, There's nothing but remark

2753
02:25:29,560 --> 02:25:33,360
Speaker 31: that I have for Parising Germaine making it to the

2754
02:25:33,440 --> 02:25:36,480
Speaker 31: semi finals of the Champions League. A team that has

2755
02:25:36,800 --> 02:25:41,160
Speaker 31: been synonymous with high spending and some of the great superstars.

2756
02:25:41,520 --> 02:25:44,480
Speaker 31: Not long after dismantling all of its Big three, sending

2757
02:25:44,520 --> 02:25:49,240
Speaker 31: away Lionel Messi, Neymar and killing Embape, somehow has become

2758
02:25:49,480 --> 02:25:54,400
Speaker 31: leaner and more dangerous with no losses in French play,

2759
02:25:54,800 --> 02:25:55,440
Speaker 31: this year.

2760
02:25:55,840 --> 02:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Their record is twenty four to five.

2761
02:25:57,720 --> 02:26:00,680
Speaker 31: And zero in League One, and a lot of that

2762
02:26:00,800 --> 02:26:04,760
Speaker 31: comes from just being leaner, a little more retooled. Ostman

2763
02:26:04,840 --> 02:26:08,560
Speaker 31: Demble has been phenomenal twenty one goals in League one

2764
02:26:08,640 --> 02:26:11,920
Speaker 31: play seven goals in the Champions League this year. Another

2765
02:26:11,959 --> 02:26:15,800
Speaker 31: one of their forwards, Bradley Barcolo, has been absolutely fantastic.

2766
02:26:15,879 --> 02:26:18,320
Speaker 31: This is a club that's really been finding itself. They

2767
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:22,840
Speaker 31: traded for Kavicia Caraccelia from inter Milan, bringing him in

2768
02:26:22,959 --> 02:26:26,200
Speaker 31: on a transfer, and they've really had a really good

2769
02:26:26,360 --> 02:26:29,320
Speaker 31: course set up here. This is a PSG playing at

2770
02:26:29,320 --> 02:26:31,960
Speaker 31: a level we haven't really seen them in quite some time.

2771
02:26:32,440 --> 02:26:34,480
Speaker 31: They have a much better work ethic, they're a lot

2772
02:26:34,560 --> 02:26:37,640
Speaker 31: more balanced in the midfield and quite honestly, I really

2773
02:26:37,800 --> 02:26:39,960
Speaker 31: like their chances and I believe they will advance on

2774
02:26:40,040 --> 02:26:41,600
Speaker 31: aggregate over Arsenal.

2775
02:26:41,840 --> 02:26:41,960
Speaker 7: Now.

2776
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:45,240
Speaker 31: As for the other side, it's been quite an adventure

2777
02:26:45,360 --> 02:26:48,320
Speaker 31: for inter Milan this year in all of their campaigns.

2778
02:26:48,320 --> 02:26:50,800
Speaker 31: They're currently tied with Napoli at the top of Italy

2779
02:26:50,959 --> 02:26:55,440
Speaker 31: right now. They are resilient. They are a strong defensive

2780
02:26:55,520 --> 02:26:58,240
Speaker 31: team that has been winning a lot of matches here

2781
02:26:58,840 --> 02:27:03,200
Speaker 31: through that strength of their defense, four to three over

2782
02:27:03,480 --> 02:27:06,680
Speaker 31: the best of Germany Bayern Munich on the aggregate and

2783
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:09,760
Speaker 31: just really stomping down and clamping down on every team

2784
02:27:09,800 --> 02:27:13,840
Speaker 31: they can. Whereas Barcelona is high flying, they are fun

2785
02:27:13,920 --> 02:27:17,279
Speaker 31: to watch. They have a lot of offensive firepower between

2786
02:27:17,959 --> 02:27:22,800
Speaker 31: Robert Lewandowski, Rafina and of course the very young Lamin Yamal,

2787
02:27:22,959 --> 02:27:26,320
Speaker 31: still all of seventeen years old as he continues to

2788
02:27:26,440 --> 02:27:29,320
Speaker 31: write his legend at such a young age. What will

2789
02:27:29,360 --> 02:27:32,440
Speaker 31: make this one more interesting is that both Barcelona and

2790
02:27:32,680 --> 02:27:35,160
Speaker 31: Inter are in the fights of their lives right now

2791
02:27:35,320 --> 02:27:38,080
Speaker 31: in their domestic leagues to capture domestic titles in La

2792
02:27:38,160 --> 02:27:42,040
Speaker 31: Liga and Syria alike. Inter as of this writing tied

2793
02:27:42,160 --> 02:27:46,720
Speaker 31: seventy one points apiece with Napoli. Barcelona with a respectable

2794
02:27:46,800 --> 02:27:52,160
Speaker 31: but not completely invincible, seven point lead over Real Madrid

2795
02:27:52,200 --> 02:27:56,560
Speaker 31: and La Liga. This is an extreme clash of styles

2796
02:27:56,920 --> 02:27:59,320
Speaker 31: and it's really hard for me to pick who is

2797
02:27:59,400 --> 02:28:02,160
Speaker 31: going to win this one. Both are coming off some

2798
02:28:02,400 --> 02:28:05,960
Speaker 31: real tests against German clubs. I think I do want

2799
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:08,560
Speaker 31: to lean a little bit to Inter Milan as far

2800
02:28:08,840 --> 02:28:12,680
Speaker 31: as their defensive style about how they have been playing

2801
02:28:12,800 --> 02:28:16,080
Speaker 31: as a team, but it would not surprise me Barcelona,

2802
02:28:16,200 --> 02:28:18,960
Speaker 31: with all of that firepower makes it to the final

2803
02:28:19,040 --> 02:28:21,600
Speaker 31: as well. Either way, we've got a couple of weeks

2804
02:28:21,680 --> 02:28:23,960
Speaker 31: now until we start to really get into the meet

2805
02:28:24,280 --> 02:28:27,360
Speaker 31: the final stages of the Champions League. This is when

2806
02:28:27,440 --> 02:28:30,720
Speaker 31: it starts to really really get fun. Bernie, We'll see

2807
02:28:30,720 --> 02:28:31,320
Speaker 31: you next time.

2808
02:28:31,560 --> 02:28:33,560
Speaker 1: Happy Easter. It's the world of soccer.

2809
02:28:34,920 --> 02:28:37,840
Speaker 2: So, for what it's worth, Paris Saint Germain, that football

2810
02:28:37,920 --> 02:28:41,120
Speaker 2: club actually is first in the Liga. They got a

2811
02:28:41,360 --> 02:28:45,960
Speaker 2: very very gaudy record. They're first place by a mile.

2812
02:28:47,320 --> 02:28:51,200
Speaker 2: Not that that particularly have that much interest for me,

2813
02:28:51,360 --> 02:28:55,240
Speaker 2: but it takes on a slightly different perspectives. In Paris

2814
02:28:55,320 --> 02:28:57,200
Speaker 2: with my wife a few months back, and when you

2815
02:28:57,840 --> 02:29:01,440
Speaker 2: leave the airport, hop on the freeway, you head towards

2816
02:29:01,840 --> 02:29:05,240
Speaker 2: the Eiffel Tower. You see the stadium they play at,

2817
02:29:05,320 --> 02:29:08,600
Speaker 2: Arena Stadium on the left, nice nice looking stadium. Stadium

2818
02:29:08,600 --> 02:29:11,520
Speaker 2: that where they won the nineteen ninety eight World Cup.

2819
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:14,320
Speaker 2: So you can impress your friends with that information. But yeah,

2820
02:29:14,720 --> 02:29:18,120
Speaker 2: there you have it. Chris Purfett's World of Soccer. All right,

2821
02:29:18,200 --> 02:29:21,760
Speaker 2: coming up, I'm going to dive into this why Aaron

2822
02:29:21,840 --> 02:29:25,360
Speaker 2: Glenn had no interest in being in the Aaron Rodgers business,

2823
02:29:26,240 --> 02:29:28,600
Speaker 2: Why it's hard to blame him and why I will

2824
02:29:30,120 --> 02:29:35,000
Speaker 2: support the Jets' decision to show Aaron Rodgers the door.

2825
02:29:35,640 --> 02:29:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. We are comedy line from Las Vegas,

2826
02:29:38,120 --> 02:29:41,480
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Tireck dot Com Studios. Keep it locked.

2827
02:29:41,480 --> 02:29:43,840
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2828
02:29:44,680 --> 02:29:47,160
Speaker 2: All right, we are wrapping it up on the Bernie

2829
02:29:47,160 --> 02:29:49,840
Speaker 2: Frattle Show. I want to thank producers Mark and Brianna.

2830
02:29:50,600 --> 02:29:53,520
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for all your efforts tonight. Thanks to

2831
02:29:53,600 --> 02:29:56,760
Speaker 2: all the callers in the midnight hour Mark Medina jam

2832
02:29:56,879 --> 02:30:00,360
Speaker 2: Pack Show tonight, and we'll have another one next Saturday

2833
02:30:00,440 --> 02:30:03,640
Speaker 2: night at eleven. I want to get into this Aaron

2834
02:30:03,760 --> 02:30:07,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers what appears to be the final chapter in the

2835
02:30:08,120 --> 02:30:12,440
Speaker 2: Jets Rogers Daniel Mall By the way, not for nothing.

2836
02:30:12,680 --> 02:30:15,400
Speaker 2: It's only fitting that the Jets have a different version

2837
02:30:15,560 --> 02:30:20,720
Speaker 2: of their events. According to CBS Sports and part of

2838
02:30:20,760 --> 02:30:24,879
Speaker 2: a story I think reported by NFL Media's Tom Pella,

2839
02:30:24,959 --> 02:30:27,360
Speaker 2: Sero said quote, what I was told at the time

2840
02:30:27,520 --> 02:30:29,840
Speaker 2: was that Aaron indicated to them, Hey, I'm going to

2841
02:30:29,920 --> 02:30:32,920
Speaker 2: be on the outside of the country this week, and

2842
02:30:33,040 --> 02:30:36,440
Speaker 2: they said, great, come into the building. And then there's

2843
02:30:36,480 --> 02:30:38,920
Speaker 2: been ongoing dialogue up until that, and there were a

2844
02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:42,360
Speaker 2: variety of things said, but it wasn't quite as much

2845
02:30:42,400 --> 02:30:45,760
Speaker 2: of a terminal, you know, thud as Rogers painted it

2846
02:30:45,840 --> 02:30:48,360
Speaker 2: to be. Who knows, what does it matter? This is

2847
02:30:48,400 --> 02:30:52,040
Speaker 2: what you get with Aaron Rodgers. This is exactly what

2848
02:30:52,160 --> 02:30:54,840
Speaker 2: you get. And this will be a preview, but I

2849
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:57,800
Speaker 2: do hope listen, I root for the story. What would

2850
02:30:57,800 --> 02:30:59,879
Speaker 2: be the best story that Rogers comes back and plays

2851
02:31:00,040 --> 02:31:03,400
Speaker 2: gain this year, preferably for a team like Pittsburgh. Who

2852
02:31:03,680 --> 02:31:06,760
Speaker 2: is Pittsburgh is always going to be a perennial contender

2853
02:31:07,040 --> 02:31:09,680
Speaker 2: because of their culture, their coach, and their DNA. They

2854
02:31:09,760 --> 02:31:13,000
Speaker 2: have enough pieces on defense to compete, and they have

2855
02:31:13,120 --> 02:31:16,160
Speaker 2: two stud wide receivers, and they didn't want Russell Wilson

2856
02:31:16,280 --> 02:31:18,800
Speaker 2: or Justin Fieldstone on the ball, So why not get

2857
02:31:18,840 --> 02:31:21,280
Speaker 2: a guy who's might have a little bit one more

2858
02:31:21,360 --> 02:31:24,280
Speaker 2: left in the tank. We'll find out'd be fun to watch,

2859
02:31:24,480 --> 02:31:27,160
Speaker 2: That's my opinion. But as far as the Jets, they

2860
02:31:27,240 --> 02:31:30,160
Speaker 2: showed Aaron Rodgers adoor, and I think they were right

2861
02:31:30,240 --> 02:31:32,360
Speaker 2: to show Aaron Rodgers a door and know in certain

2862
02:31:32,480 --> 02:31:38,800
Speaker 2: terms Aaron Glenn, who in his NFL history had actually

2863
02:31:38,959 --> 02:31:42,680
Speaker 2: been a top ten draft choice of the New York

2864
02:31:42,760 --> 02:31:46,600
Speaker 2: Jets years ago, and had a good career as a

2865
02:31:46,680 --> 02:31:50,440
Speaker 2: defensive back with the New York Jets, had bounced around

2866
02:31:50,800 --> 02:31:53,920
Speaker 2: in the coaching ranks, and most notably, had presided over

2867
02:31:54,000 --> 02:31:56,840
Speaker 2: a very impressive defense in Detroit as a defensive coordinator.

2868
02:31:57,160 --> 02:32:00,560
Speaker 2: If you've ever heard Aaron Glenn talk, he is nobs,

2869
02:32:01,200 --> 02:32:03,920
Speaker 2: he is kurt, He's to the point, he's succinct. He

2870
02:32:04,040 --> 02:32:07,840
Speaker 2: does not mince words, he does not equivocate. He had

2871
02:32:08,040 --> 02:32:09,959
Speaker 2: Aaron Glynn had no interest in being in the Aaron

2872
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:13,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers business, and frankly, it's hard to blame it, if anything,

2873
02:32:14,080 --> 02:32:18,040
Speaker 2: if you've just simply observed the way that Aaron Rodgers

2874
02:32:18,120 --> 02:32:20,560
Speaker 2: has handled the after the math of this whole recent ordeal,

2875
02:32:20,640 --> 02:32:27,000
Speaker 2: specifically following Aaron's Thursday interview with Pat McAfee, I think

2876
02:32:27,080 --> 02:32:29,360
Speaker 2: that is a say in law prima facia that the

2877
02:32:29,480 --> 02:32:32,920
Speaker 2: Jets made the right decision on the face of it.

2878
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:38,040
Speaker 2: Think about it. From the beginning of the Rogers Jets

2879
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:43,240
Speaker 2: partnership back in twenty twenty three, the Jets flew on

2880
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:47,680
Speaker 2: their time to Malibu, California. They had a contingent of

2881
02:32:47,800 --> 02:32:51,520
Speaker 2: key decision makers and their goal was to convince Aaron

2882
02:32:51,640 --> 02:32:56,600
Speaker 2: Rodgers to play for the Jets. Then the Jets hired

2883
02:32:56,800 --> 02:33:02,000
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Hackett as an offensive coordinator at Rogers's request. Then

2884
02:33:02,040 --> 02:33:05,640
Speaker 2: they overpaid Alan Wizard in free agency to make Rogers

2885
02:33:05,720 --> 02:33:10,560
Speaker 2: more comfortable, and again accommodate his request. After the trade

2886
02:33:10,680 --> 02:33:14,000
Speaker 2: was completed, Rogers gave some salary back to help the

2887
02:33:14,080 --> 02:33:17,800
Speaker 2: Jets sign more of his buddies, or in other words,

2888
02:33:18,120 --> 02:33:22,160
Speaker 2: players he wanted to play with, like Well Randall Cobb,

2889
02:33:23,280 --> 02:33:28,320
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook, Billy Turner, Tim Boyle. None of those signings

2890
02:33:28,400 --> 02:33:32,520
Speaker 2: worked out. I don't think DeVante Adams worked out with

2891
02:33:32,600 --> 02:33:37,240
Speaker 2: a damn either. For a time, there were other geams

2892
02:33:37,280 --> 02:33:41,000
Speaker 2: around the league that were mockingly referring to the Jets

2893
02:33:41,080 --> 02:33:44,320
Speaker 2: general manager at the time as the Seams assistant GM.

2894
02:33:44,400 --> 02:33:47,199
Speaker 2: The joke was that Rogers was really the one calling

2895
02:33:47,280 --> 02:33:50,680
Speaker 2: the shots hashtags spot to lie. Can I prove it no?

2896
02:33:52,240 --> 02:33:57,000
Speaker 2: But on the face of it, again, what happened? It

2897
02:33:57,120 --> 02:34:01,520
Speaker 2: feels like Rogers promised the Jets the world. Instead he

2898
02:34:01,640 --> 02:34:04,359
Speaker 2: gave the Jets a world of confusion, a world of distraction,

2899
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:08,760
Speaker 2: a world of uncertainty, and Rogers two years with the

2900
02:34:08,840 --> 02:34:14,519
Speaker 2: Jets the only headlines he really made were for media appearances.

2901
02:34:15,680 --> 02:34:17,960
Speaker 2: The headlines were not made by his play on the field.

2902
02:34:18,280 --> 02:34:20,840
Speaker 2: That's for damn sure, I get it. The first year

2903
02:34:20,959 --> 02:34:23,600
Speaker 2: was a throwaway through no vault of his own four plays,

2904
02:34:24,240 --> 02:34:28,520
Speaker 2: but it seemed that that just became a portent of

2905
02:34:28,640 --> 02:34:33,400
Speaker 2: things to come. So when February of twenty twenty five

2906
02:34:33,520 --> 02:34:36,560
Speaker 2: year old around the Jets basically said to Aaron Rodgers,

2907
02:34:37,320 --> 02:34:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're fired. Oh, they didn't say I'm sorry.

2908
02:34:42,080 --> 02:34:45,640
Speaker 2: They just said you're fired. The lncher took us hit

2909
02:34:45,680 --> 02:34:49,000
Speaker 2: the door on the way out. Now is if you

2910
02:34:49,080 --> 02:34:52,080
Speaker 2: watch the Netflix special on Aaron Rodgers. I'm sure this

2911
02:34:52,240 --> 02:34:54,879
Speaker 2: was a bit of an ego death terminology he'd liked

2912
02:34:54,920 --> 02:34:57,360
Speaker 2: to use that I'd never heard before, because Aaron Rodgers

2913
02:34:57,440 --> 02:35:01,640
Speaker 2: had never been fired before, he says. Aaron Rodgers says

2914
02:35:01,680 --> 02:35:05,560
Speaker 2: he wishes Aaron Glenn would have shown him enough respect

2915
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:08,280
Speaker 2: to just fire him over the phone, rather than, as

2916
02:35:08,320 --> 02:35:12,760
Speaker 2: he said multiple times on Thursday with Pat McAfee, have

2917
02:35:12,920 --> 02:35:16,000
Speaker 2: him quote pay his own way to fly across country

2918
02:35:16,400 --> 02:35:23,560
Speaker 2: for a short meeting. Now, don't I guess you could

2919
02:35:23,560 --> 02:35:27,840
Speaker 2: insert your own packers Brian Gudokunsk he was the former

2920
02:35:28,000 --> 02:35:29,840
Speaker 2: or he was the gem for the Packers, and Rogers

2921
02:35:29,920 --> 02:35:32,920
Speaker 2: was there who claims to have called Aaron Rodgers multiple

2922
02:35:33,000 --> 02:35:35,720
Speaker 2: times when Rogers was holding the Green Bay Packers up.

2923
02:35:36,200 --> 02:35:39,440
Speaker 2: Rogers never answered the DAN phone. So maybe you can't

2924
02:35:39,480 --> 02:35:42,040
Speaker 2: really blame the Jets for not calling Rogers because who

2925
02:35:42,080 --> 02:35:45,320
Speaker 2: knows if Rogers would have answered the phone. But I digress.

2926
02:35:46,200 --> 02:35:50,640
Speaker 2: Rogers went on to tell Pat McAfee, who is his shill? Quote?

2927
02:35:50,680 --> 02:35:53,560
Speaker 2: I felt there wasn't enough ample amount of respect in

2928
02:35:53,640 --> 02:35:57,040
Speaker 2: that meeting. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised based

2929
02:35:57,080 --> 02:36:00,600
Speaker 2: on somehow things I saw over the two years. Is

2930
02:36:00,680 --> 02:36:04,680
Speaker 2: if you're not culpable in this aeron Now, if Aaron

2931
02:36:04,760 --> 02:36:06,720
Speaker 2: Glenn had told Rogers they were done with him over

2932
02:36:06,800 --> 02:36:11,240
Speaker 2: the phone, don't you think Aaron Rodgers were then pissed

2933
02:36:11,280 --> 02:36:13,880
Speaker 2: and moaned about not having the respect to do it

2934
02:36:13,959 --> 02:36:18,160
Speaker 2: face to face. I think that Aaron Glenn handled us

2935
02:36:18,240 --> 02:36:21,520
Speaker 2: the right way. For all the Jets off the field

2936
02:36:21,840 --> 02:36:25,360
Speaker 2: shenanigans and missteps and mistakes over the past few years,

2937
02:36:26,600 --> 02:36:28,680
Speaker 2: this might not have been one of them, although it

2938
02:36:28,800 --> 02:36:30,480
Speaker 2: still kind of ended up being one of them. But

2939
02:36:30,640 --> 02:36:35,000
Speaker 2: you get my point. In the corporate world, I understand

2940
02:36:35,160 --> 02:36:40,160
Speaker 2: that companies may often conduct mass firings over zoom, and

2941
02:36:40,280 --> 02:36:44,280
Speaker 2: sometimes employees find out they've been dismissed via email, But

2942
02:36:44,400 --> 02:36:48,360
Speaker 2: most NFL players don't receive the same courtesy that the

2943
02:36:48,480 --> 02:36:51,760
Speaker 2: Jets provided Aaron Rodgers. The coach told him, man to man,

2944
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:55,280
Speaker 2: was it a bit of a harsh approach? Yeah, but

2945
02:36:55,360 --> 02:36:58,680
Speaker 2: it has to be you saw moneyball. Could Aaron Glenn

2946
02:36:58,760 --> 02:37:02,680
Speaker 2: have used a softer touch? Maybe? But what was that accomplished?

2947
02:37:03,040 --> 02:37:06,240
Speaker 2: What's the point of lingering it, letting it linger, letting

2948
02:37:06,280 --> 02:37:10,240
Speaker 2: it drag on? As they say, Aaron Glenn just simply

2949
02:37:10,400 --> 02:37:13,360
Speaker 2: ripped the band aid off. Nothing Aaron Rodgers was going

2950
02:37:13,440 --> 02:37:16,160
Speaker 2: to say in that meeting was gonna sway Aaron Glenn.

2951
02:37:17,280 --> 02:37:20,840
Speaker 2: So Rogers found out he was on the outs minutes

2952
02:37:20,879 --> 02:37:24,879
Speaker 2: after arriving at the Jets facility. And if Rodgers didn't

2953
02:37:24,920 --> 02:37:28,640
Speaker 2: know that going in, then either he's lacks awareness, which

2954
02:37:28,680 --> 02:37:32,640
Speaker 2: I doubt. He's actually a very bright guy. He's just

2955
02:37:32,720 --> 02:37:35,400
Speaker 2: a pain in the ass loadan the shorts. But now

2956
02:37:35,560 --> 02:37:38,080
Speaker 2: Rodgers can officially move on as if he didn't know.

2957
02:37:38,120 --> 02:37:39,760
Speaker 2: He couldn't before, and so can the Jets. So for

2958
02:37:39,879 --> 02:37:43,120
Speaker 2: two seasons, let the record show Aaron Rodgers was a

2959
02:37:43,200 --> 02:37:46,840
Speaker 2: walking distraction. The Jets never deterred him from making appearances

2960
02:37:46,879 --> 02:37:49,640
Speaker 2: on McAfee show, even though he used that platform to

2961
02:37:49,680 --> 02:37:53,760
Speaker 2: call out his teammates, spewed conspiracy theories, and generally just

2962
02:37:53,959 --> 02:37:57,080
Speaker 2: cause problems in his stir only for Rogers till later

2963
02:37:57,520 --> 02:38:02,400
Speaker 2: complain that the Jets organization for having some non football distractions. Now,

2964
02:38:02,520 --> 02:38:05,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn has been the Jets coach for about three months.

2965
02:38:05,920 --> 02:38:07,920
Speaker 2: In that time, he's already put his stamp on how

2966
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:10,880
Speaker 2: things are going to operate around here. He's plugged leaks

2967
02:38:10,879 --> 02:38:13,879
Speaker 2: in the building. The Jets have actively tried to avoid

2968
02:38:13,959 --> 02:38:17,480
Speaker 2: making headlines, whereas they used to make headlines even if

2969
02:38:17,520 --> 02:38:20,400
Speaker 2: there was no headline, and Aaron Rodgers was very culpable

2970
02:38:20,440 --> 02:38:23,800
Speaker 2: in that area. The Jets have gutted their roster. They've

2971
02:38:23,959 --> 02:38:26,000
Speaker 2: only got four players on that roster that are older

2972
02:38:26,040 --> 02:38:29,400
Speaker 2: than thirty years old, three around backup teams once Tyrod

2973
02:38:29,440 --> 02:38:32,560
Speaker 2: Taylor a backup quarterback. Rogers did not fit their timeline,

2974
02:38:32,720 --> 02:38:34,960
Speaker 2: he didn't fit their culture, he doesn't fit their narrative.

2975
02:38:35,240 --> 02:38:38,600
Speaker 2: This is Aaron Glenn's team now, not the quarterbacks. Good.

2976
02:38:39,280 --> 02:38:42,200
Speaker 2: Whether it works or not, it was a necessary change

2977
02:38:42,400 --> 02:38:45,320
Speaker 2: because the last two years have been a disaster, and

2978
02:38:45,400 --> 02:38:47,720
Speaker 2: who's to say that Rogers would still be stringing the

2979
02:38:47,840 --> 02:38:50,800
Speaker 2: Jets along this offseason the same way he's stringing along

2980
02:38:50,840 --> 02:38:53,800
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just look at the conversation with Glenn

2981
02:38:53,800 --> 02:38:56,240
Speaker 2: that Rogers relayed, you sure you want to play football

2982
02:38:56,240 --> 02:38:58,880
Speaker 2: at Rogers bond. Yeah, I'm interested, as opposed to no,

2983
02:38:58,959 --> 02:39:02,040
Speaker 2: I want to be your quarterback? A half assed, vague,

2984
02:39:02,080 --> 02:39:05,000
Speaker 2: obtuse response typically Aaron Rodgers. So here we are. It's

2985
02:39:05,000 --> 02:39:07,680
Speaker 2: almost me. Rogers hasn't a saturdy if he wants to

2986
02:39:07,760 --> 02:39:10,480
Speaker 2: retire or play. The NFL Draft is four days away.

2987
02:39:10,640 --> 02:39:14,040
Speaker 2: The Jets have moved on. Shelton Fields is their guy? Fields?

2988
02:39:14,040 --> 02:39:18,160
Speaker 2: Wouldn't look now the Steelers are being held up, they

2989
02:39:18,280 --> 02:39:21,680
Speaker 2: turn their attention to Rogers. Pittsburgh is a team desperate

2990
02:39:21,760 --> 02:39:23,640
Speaker 2: to get over the home and they are in need

2991
02:39:23,680 --> 02:39:26,360
Speaker 2: of a quarterback. It sounds like a fit. What are

2992
02:39:26,360 --> 02:39:29,560
Speaker 2: you waiting for, Aaron? Your options are running out? Does

2993
02:39:29,600 --> 02:39:32,720
Speaker 2: this scenario look familiar? Yeah? Because it is. It's gonna

2994
02:39:32,720 --> 02:39:34,600
Speaker 2: do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. See you next

2995
02:39:34,640 --> 02:39:37,200
Speaker 2: Saturday night at eleven pm. Keep it locked up next

2996
02:39:37,200 --> 02:39:39,119
Speaker 2: to the Great Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio,
