Speaker 2: And of course, hey, by the way, NFL, we've even

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: got some NFL rule.

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: Changes, and at the bottom of the art, I'm going

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: to give a tribute to a young lady by the

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: name of Anime Bullock. Hold that thought, Anime Bullock an

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: American icon. You'll know what I'm talking about when we

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: get to twelve thirty. You're not gonna want to miss it.

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: But let's start with the fact that in about let's

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: see seventeen eighteen hours from now, could we be seeing

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: something we've never seen in the.

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: NBA were halfway home?

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: And how fitting would it be for the city of

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: Boston to be the one to pull this off?

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Remember the four Red.

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 3: Sox down three to zero, Kurt Schilling and the Bloody Sock.

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: Remember the Patriots, the New England Patriots down twenty eight

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: to three in the Super Bowl. But it's even happened

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: in the NHL. Yeah, back in nineteen forty two, Toronto

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: came back over our beloved Detroit Red Wings when they

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: were down three zip.

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: But in the NBA been a different story.

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: There have been one hundred and fifty teams that have

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: faced a three zero series deficit in playoff history.

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: None have overcome them.

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: Ever, fact, just three of those teams, the two thousand

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: and three Blazers, the nineteen ninety four Denver Nuggets, and

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: oh yeah, the nineteen fifty one Knicks. They all came

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: back to force in Game seven, but all three lost.

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: Now the twenty twenty three Celtics, well they're not quite

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: there yet, but after a pretty impressive thirteen point win

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: Thursday night over the Heat, it feels.

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Like you can actually see a path.

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: And if we're being honest, this team might be the

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: most qualified to do it because all three of the

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: teams I mentioned prior, they were lesser seeds playing objectively

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: better teams, and they didn't have home court advantage. And

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: if you look at the metrics, if you look at

57
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: the analytics, and you know how I feel about analytics,

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: I think they're a guideline. They're not an inflexible anchor.

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: They tell you where you've been. They don't always tell

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: you where you're going, but it is part of the mix.

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: Boston's a better team on paper through the higher scene.

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: They've posted two routes now since going down three zip.

63
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: Thursday Night's game was never in question, and the Heat

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: acquiesced in the fourth quarter. They arrested their starters because

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 3: it was out of hand and at least for the

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: last two games. Jason Tatum looked like himself again. Jalen Brown,

67
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: he found his groove, found his stroke. Derek White twenty

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: four points, six of eight from behind the arc can discontinue.

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: If it can continue, then this could be terrifying for

70
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: the Heat. But it hasn't happened yet. Okay, so Game six,

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: let's set this up Saturday in Miami eight thirty Eastern

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: Celtics are favored by two and a half at this

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: point on the road. If they win, no question, they'll

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: be favored at home in Game seven, probably by eight

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: and a half. They'reabouts, Well, this is all good stuff,

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: and it's so good water cooler material, and it just

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: comes days after everybody tried to convince themselves that it

78
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: was going to be as sweet for sweep as an

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: outcome that you know, this is better though we don't

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: tell me you don't like this.

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: This is better.

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: So the question is it time for the Heat to

83
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: start feeling a little nervous, see, because after the Celtics

84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: got that second straight victory and it was very comfortable.

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: Miami's at home now where there are expectations. But ironically,

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: when Boston has expectations, they don't.

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: Do so well. Now there's expectation for.

88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 3: Boston and they're like eleven and eleven at home in

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: the playoffs in the last couple of years. It's funny, though,

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: how simple the key to the Celtics success is when

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: they shoot the ball from behind the arc, well, they win.

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: But when you start breaking shots like they did the

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: first three games, well, finally you get to game four,

94
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: and the law of averages always manages.

95
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: To regress or progress towards the means.

96
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: So they shot better, shot forty one percent of the

97
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 3: team from behind them, and they won easily. Now, Jalen Brown,

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: he was three of twenty five from behind the arc

99
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 3: in the first three games. But he finds a stroke.

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Derek White, Marcus Smart, you get to drift. We don't

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: need to give a bunch of numbers on the radies.

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: Saw what happened when the Celtics are playing.

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: To the best their ability.

104
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: See the heat really need everything to go right if

105
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: they're going to be competitive. But they turned the ball

106
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: over way more than Boston did sixteen times the other

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: night to the Celtics nine, and while the rebounding margin

108
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: was basically equal, Boston only rebounded by one, out rebounded

109
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: the Heat by one, thirty seven to thirty six. The

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: Heat managed just seven second chance points compared to seventeen

111
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 3: for Boston.

112
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: That's desire.

113
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: Miami had no second chance points until the middle of

114
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. By that point, the game was already decided.

115
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: And I haven't even talked defense yet. Boston's defense, on paper,

116
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: might be the best in the NBA. And they've now

117
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: held Miami under one hundred points in two consecutive games,

118
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: and the Heat only feel to score one hundred or

119
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: less and just one previous game. This entire postseason so

120
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: long and short of it is I think, to be fair,

121
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: you have to give a lot of credit to Joe Mizzoula.

122
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 3: Somehow he's part of helping to engineer this turnaround. After

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 3: Game three, he admitted there was a real disconnect between

124
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: himself and his players. He conceded he didn't know how

125
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: to fix it. But the last two games he's been

126
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: pretty good. And you know, this is a guy who's

127
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: got people looking over his shoulder telling him to get

128
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: ready to clean out his office. They want Mike Budenholzer,

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: they want Nick Nurse, maybe even Doc Rivers. God wouldn't

130
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: that be delicious a Doc Rivers reunion in Boston.

131
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: But what did Joe Mozola do?

132
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: He got the Celtics ready to play in Game four

133
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: and they were energized. And Joe Mozoola even credited one

134
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: of his assistants. He said, you know, the season's like

135
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: nine months long. We just had a bad week. And

136
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: you know TNT has gotten MIC's closer to their huddles

137
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: and you can hear Missoula sort of urging the Celtics

138
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: to be more physical. And if you noticed, because I

139
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: was wondering if there had become a real disconnect between

140
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: Missoula and his team, I didn't see that these last

141
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: two games. I saw the team making eye contact with him.

142
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: I see them nodding their head. This dude's only thirty

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: four years old. He's causing me to take a second

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: look at him.

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: He had some quotes today. There's a lot more depth

146
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: to this man.

147
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: He took over a very difficult situation this past year

148
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: earlier with Emi Aduca. You know what happened there. And

149
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: if somebody would have told you last October, hey, Boston

150
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: is going to be, you know, two wins away from

151
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: getting to the NBA Finals. Wow, that's pretty good, because

152
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: Boston looked like it could have been a dumpster fire

153
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year based.

154
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: On how the season started.

155
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: So I think when the game tips off Saturday, initially,

156
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: the pressure on the Heat is going to be a mess.

157
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: They have to take care of business at home or

158
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: they get.

159
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: They face the prospect to go back to Boston in

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: a Game seven, winner, take all against a far more

161
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: talented team, and you would imagine the arena in Boston

162
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: will be completely raucous. Now again, no team in NBA

163
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: history he's ever recovered from a three to zero series deficit,

164
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: But the Celtics, it feels like this is possible, and

165
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: there's you know, they're Their shooting has improved, their defense

166
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: has been more cohesive.

167
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: Everything's sort of trending upward.

168
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: And one of the things we haven't talked about, Gabe

169
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: Vincent missed Game five with an ankle issue. I don't

170
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: know if he's playing Saturday, and they need him. But

171
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: the Heat still only need to win one more game

172
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: and they've got it at home. But it's not hard

173
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: to feel like the Celtics from the driver's seat. They

174
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: appear to have sort of shaken off whatever was holding

175
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 3: him back. They don't look like they're running a quicksand

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: the first three games as they did, and if they

177
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: keep it going Saturday night again, they'll be heavy favorites

178
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: in Game seven.

179
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 2: Yes, they dug themselves.

180
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: A hole, they struggle early in the series, but it's

181
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: now what happens, it's how you react, and now Miami

182
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: should be the team fielding nervous.

183
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: Remember the two thousand and four of Red Sox what Kevin.

184
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: Malar said, you better not let us win one, and

185
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,239
Speaker 3: they did and you saw what happened halftime the Patriots

186
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: down twenty eight to three in Super Bowl fifty one. Wow,

187
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: well we won't go to the Toronto thing in forty two.

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: No one cares about that. But I will say this,

189
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: it would be ironic, It would be coincidental. It would

190
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: be fitting for the city of Boston to be to

191
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: be the team that would make this three zip deficit

192
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty and one, or check that one

193
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: in one hundred and fifty versus zero and one hundred

194
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: and fifty. I'm kind of rooting for a Game seven.

195
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: I always root for the story that would be a

196
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: story because no matter what happens in game seven. If

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler goes up and steals it or Boston finishes

198
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: it off, You've got yourself a hell of a story,

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: and you get yourself a hell of an NBA Finals.

200
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: I believe, even though I know the whole world would

201
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: rather have a couple of different teams. But anyway is

202
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: slice it. We're gonna have a good NBA Finals. I

Speaker 3: go again.

228
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: How you doing, buddy, Hey, Bernie, I'm great, Thanks for

229
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: having me.

230
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: Man, well, a lot to talk about.

231
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: And before I dive into their chronology as to what

232
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: happens next, in some of the specifics of the bill

233
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 3: which I did peruse. We saw a rendering today. But

234
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: let me give you my impression, Alan, I want you

235
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: to respond. It's a rendering, but it doesn't look like

236
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: an architectural rendering to me, just a rendering of a stadium.

237
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: And the thing that jumps at me is when you

238
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 3: look at the field, looks eerily similar to the symmetry

239
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: and shape of the field and foul territories in Oakland,

240
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: and right off the bat, it just looks cheesy to me,

241
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: is if this was just Jimmy Reid been throwing together?

242
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?

243
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: Well, you know, renderings are pretty much devised really for

244
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: promotional purposes, and this was more to me of a

245
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: promotional style artists rendering than a true architectural design. So

246
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: you know, if you look at if you looked at

247
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: the renderings, there's not a single original tropicn of building

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 4: on the site. And also this thing is not obviously

249
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 4: being built to scale according to the rendering, because they

250
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: had mentioned nine acres of a thirty five acre hotel

251
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: site would be used for the ballpark, and obviously most

252
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: of the site is kind of used for the baseball park,

253
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: and for the extension of the facility it was extending

254
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: literally from one corner of the site all the way

255
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: to pretty much Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue.

256
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: Well, I made the same observation because they show it

257
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: from three angles, but rather than dwell on that, I

258
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: did peruse the bill and a couple other things that

259
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: jumped at me. You'll notice it doesn't really specificly mentioned

260
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: the Oakland A's nor a specific site, meaning that it's

261
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: my impression is is that this proposed site here is

262
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: not necessarily one hundred percent Am I interpreting that right?

263
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's an interesting feature about the proposed bill that

264
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 4: was introduced today, and that is it's not site specific,

265
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 4: which does open the door to this other location, the

266
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: so called festival site, which is up the strip on

267
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: the north side of the Strip, and in fact that

268
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: site has some backers as well, so it's definitely not

269
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: site specific. And after the legislation was introduced, as you know, Bernie,

270
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: this site actually was the second site that was mentioned

271
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: publicly by the franchise after negotiations already began going on

272
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: between the state and the team. So obviously this is

273
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 4: not set in concrete, so to speak.

274
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: Talking with Alan Snell Love Sports Biz Big News, today's

275
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: is being reported as if the A's are coming to Vegas. Allah,

276
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: let's dive into the most important part, what's next and

277
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: talk about a chronology. The first thing that has to

278
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: happen is this build draft request has to be introduced

279
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: by a lawmaker on the Senate floor, and they were

280
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: talking about doing that. This afternoon Friday afternoon, did in

281
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: fact that happen.

282
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 4: I believe. I think it's Senate Bill five oh nine

283
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: was introduced. I don't know. I'm from Carson City. So

284
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: it's scheduled for debate. I had heard earlier this week

285
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: that there may be a hearing as early as tomorrow.

286
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: I have not confirmed that yet, but at this point,

287
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, what's the legislature scheduled to adjourn on the

288
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: fifth of June. I mean there is there is potential

289
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: time to to hash us out. Keep in mind that

290
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: you know, the governor gave this big statement yesterday about

291
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: the budget you know, got in place, and that that

292
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: could be kind of something that could throw a monkey

293
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: wrench into this. So you know, this is uh, this

294
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: is far from a done deal, and we'll see how

295
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: this thing plays out right up till June.

296
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: Fifth, right, and let's uh, let's spell that out for

297
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: the folks that are listening around the country and even

298
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: around the world. Are it's my understanding and now, and

299
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: you can correct me that our governor Joel Lombardo first

300
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: and foremost wants to ratify the state budget. It won't

301
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: won't address any other bills before that, and so that

302
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: could throw a monkey wrench into this. Like you say,

303
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: do you expect that to happen or do you expect

304
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: Joe Lombardado to bat and his hatches down on that?

305
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: Could that delay this?

306
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: It could potentially delay it, you know, I mean, let's

307
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: face it, I mean his priorities are school safety issues

308
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: and school choice issues and reducing crime. People you know,

309
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: should should know that he is the former county sheriff,

310
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: So you know, he's a former police officer, law enforcement official,

311
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: So you know that's his orientation, and you know he

312
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: you know, he's a Republican. He defeated a Democratic incumbent,

313
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: and you know he's dealing with two houses you know,

314
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,239
Speaker 4: at the state legislature that are Democratic controlled. So there's definitely,

315
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: to me, a little underlying tension regarding, you know, any

316
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: kind of threat to him from those two from those

317
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: two bodies regarding getting in the way of his budget priorities,

318
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 4: and that could potentially throw a little as if we

319
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: need like another plot twist in this whole ballpark.

320
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: Dround the Bernie so Wiland, I'm going to give you

321
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: the floor.

322
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: I want you to give the folks a bit of

323
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: a civics lesson here, because there's a specific chronology what

324
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: has to happen long before there's ever a shovel in

325
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: the ground. This bill's got to be heard by a committee.

326
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: I believe it needs to be the Senate Revenue Committee

327
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: or the Senate Finance Committee. Then you're going to hear

328
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 3: from lobbyists, lawmakers, members of the public.

329
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: Talk about that.

330
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: Process, Alan, and how you see that playing out over

331
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 3: the next ten days, because they're really up against it

332
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: in terms of the clock ticking.

333
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: This is really essential because a lot of proposed bills

334
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: will get actually a lot of attention before it's actually

335
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 4: in print. But we didn't see this, Bernie. We have

336
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: nothing on the mobility plan. And also we have nothing

337
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: from the public to explain where the money is coming

338
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: from for the three hundred and eighty million dollars in

339
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 4: government assistance that is going to this one point five

340
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 4: million dollar, thirty thousand seats baseball park on the Strip.

341
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 4: So it will go through committees, and it will go

342
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 4: through the you know, both branches in the state legislature,

343
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: and then you know, keep in mind, you know, you

344
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: brought up a good point about the location factor. There

345
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 4: is there's no site specific information regarding this baseball park.

346
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 4: It has you know, there's stuff about funding and such,

347
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 4: but the one thing which I think really has to

348
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 4: be explained to the public is where specifically the revenues

349
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: will be coming from to pay to pay back the

350
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 4: bonds that will be sold by the State of Nevada

351
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: and Clark County. Clark County, from what I understand, is

352
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 4: looking to be looking to sell one hundred and twenty

353
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: million dollars worth of bond. The state would be one

354
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty million, so it would be put you know,

355
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: it would be pushing three hundred and eighty million dollars

356
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: in total government assistance. The public needs. I can't stress

357
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 4: this enough. They need to know where the revenues will

358
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: be coming to pay the debt the bonds, and that's

359
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: something has that has to come through, uh in the

360
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: you know, and really the fleshing out of this bill

361
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 4: as it moves through committee and and and if it

362
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 4: gets approved, you know, in assuming it does get to

363
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: you know, both the Assembly and the Senate and in

364
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: the state legislature, well, a.

365
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: Couple of things.

366
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: The a's it's my understanding we'll have a free ride

367
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: for thirty years and having to pay property taxes and

368
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: then number one, number two. Uh, they're still talking about

369
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: this tax revenue district, whether it be payroll taxes, property taxes,

370
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 3: sales taxes, and goods and services produced by the stadium

371
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: are going to go to service that you think there'll

372
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: be enough revenue generated to offset that.

373
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: Well, that's the state. That was the point I was

374
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: going to bring up, Bernie. To me, it's dubious whether

375
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 4: this tax district, you know, assuming it's the quote unquote

376
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 4: thirty five acre property there. To me, it's still up

377
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: in the air whether there will be enough revenues generated

378
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 4: from sales of items related to the ballpark that would

379
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 4: be enough to pay back any sex any portions of

380
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 4: the debt, which is really important. You know. Let's contrast

381
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: this to the original site that was mentioned last month,

382
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: and that was the wild While West Casino site on

383
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 4: the west side of the interstate, probably a little less

384
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 4: than a mile down Tropicana, that was supposed to be

385
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: a baseball village. There was supposed to be bars and restaurants,

386
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: and they also had this this sports and entertainment district

387
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: concept at play there and at least there were seen

388
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: to be more retail, more potential businesses that would be

389
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: able to generate revenues to pay back the debt that

390
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: the public would incur in this particular case, Let's face it.

391
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: You know the site, Bernie, there's no shortage of restaurants

392
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: and bars within a quarter mile of the athletics baseball site.

393
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: You know, right at the corner. It's one of the

394
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: busiest intersections in the world in Las Vegas.

395
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alan, just got about a minute. What do you

396
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: expect to have between now and next week? In next

397
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 3: Saturday is June third, and again the legislative session jurms

398
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: the fifth. What do you expect to happen between now

399
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 3: and next Saturday.

400
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 4: I think there'll be more skeptical public debate about this.

401
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: I think this will be much more up for debate

402
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: than the Raiders Stadium that was kind of sailed right through.

403
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: That was in twenty sixteen, and I expect to be

404
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 4: I've got to see some really spirited debate in Carson

405
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 4: City regarding this bill. This is going to be a

406
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 4: lot more controversial, and I think the a's ability to

407
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 4: push us to the finish line will be definitely more

408
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 4: challenging than what the Raiders went through seven years ago.

409
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: I think it's well said.

410
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 3: Something in my gut and I can't even tell you why,

411
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 3: leads me to believe they have the votes. But stay loose, talent.

412
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: I may want to get you back on next Saturday,

413
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: the third, because you're on top of this and you

414
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: don't speculate.

415
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: You report the facts. So good stuff, and let's keep

416
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: your eyes near his. Ope'll see what happens.

417
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 4: Hey, I appreciate the time you'd be well.

418
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: Bernie, thanks to's Aalens now LV sports Biz. He does

419
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: have his finger on the pulse of the East to

420
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: Vegas and from the mechanical standpoint of what has to

421
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 3: happen behind the scenes to make this reality. So as

422
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: we know, as real news develops, we will share it

423
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: with you. Coming up, I want to give a tribute

424
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: to I think an American icon up the real legacy

425
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: of endurance and research.

426
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 2: It's her name is Anime Bullock. Sit tight.

427
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 3: When I tell you the story, you'll go, oh, I

428
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 3: see what you did there. But first let's go to

429
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

430
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 5: Okay, Barney Leftco's baseball Friday Night Red Sox snapping a

431

Speaker 5: Arizona as kikiir and Andez went deep ten strikeouts for

433
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 5: Hunter Brown. He is five to one on the season.

434
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 5: As the Astros defeated Oakland five to two. Pirates hit

435
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 5: seven home runs and an eleven to six victory at Seattle.

436
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 5: Mariners have lost four games in a row. Max Scherzers

437
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 5: struck out eight and seven innings, while Francisco Lindor hit

438
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 5: a home run, leading the Mets over Colorado five to two.

439
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,239
Speaker 6: It was a Marlin six and the Angels too.

440
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 5: Kevin Galasman picking up his first win in a month

441
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 5: as Toronto beat Minnesota. The Giants demolished Freddy Peralta and

442
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: the Brewers fifteen to one, home runs for Fernando Tazzis

Speaker 5: the Dodgers nine to three. Wins for the Rangers, Guardians,

446
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 5: and the Phillies. NFL News the Arizona Cardinals have at

447
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 5: least five time Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

448
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 6: All right, back to Bernie Fredo.

449
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: All right, thanks so much, Kevin.

450
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: So often when I have the opportunity, I like to

451
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: chronicle stories of important people in our society, folks who

452
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: have become a true inspiration, people that I would deem

453
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: a quintessential American success story. And I mentioned the name

454
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: Anna Maria Bullock. Anna Maria Bullock was born in nineteen

455
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: thirty nine and she died this last Wednesday. You know

456
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: her as Tina Turner, and Tina Turner I believe was

457
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: the ultimate survivor in the end. I think she was

458
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 3: more than just a survivor. She was a force of nature.

459
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: I think she was very determined to live life around

460
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: her own term. She was always willing to pay the

461
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: price and all the time she remained humbled and modest

462
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: and had a legendary force of personality.

463
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: In all of her performance.

464
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: And this is an individual who had a tremendous commanding

465
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: stage presence, a very powerful voice, and in her life

466
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: up until the age of seventy three, she believed she'd

467
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: never been loved in her life. She died at eighty three.

468
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: She was in Switzerland. She'd had a second marriage after

469
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 3: I Turner.

470
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: She faced a lot of abuse.

471
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 3: In her life, and Oprah Winfrey once interviewed her and

472
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: asked her what her legacy was, and her answer she said,

473
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: quote endurance. My legacy is that I stayed the course

474
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: from beginning to end because I believed in something inside

475
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: of me that told me you can always get better,

476
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: where you could make something better, and I wanted better.

477
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: And so I think Tina Turner said it best. She said,

478
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: my legacy is a person that's strived for wanting it

479
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: better and got it. And she started very humble, beginning

480
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: singing in church and she would then begin sing. You know,

481
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 3: she started to frequent the nightclubs and that's how she

482
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 3: met Ike Turner and Tina lived. You know, she suffered

483
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 3: in silence for much of that relationship. Ike Turner was

484
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: a powerful force, but allegedly a cocaine addict, and her

485
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: life was hell in that situation. Finally, in nineteen seventy six,

486
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: with no money nowhere to go, she bolted in Dallas

487
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: filed for divorce, and that was basically the apex of

488
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 3: her autobiography. And if you saw the movie whereby her

489
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 3: life was chronicled by the actress Angela Bassett, Tina Turner

490
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: basically started.

491
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: Over at forty years old, I mean thirty seven years

492
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: old with nothing. She was broke.

493
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: She started below the bottom and she took any kind

494
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: of job she could get just to pay the rent.

495
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: But within about three or four years she started to

496
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 3: dominate the airwaves. She had her best work in her

497
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 3: eighties and nineties, and she never stopped. She was relentless.

498
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: She would work overseas, she would appear in movies. She

499
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: was mad Max. She got part of the Mad Max Sarta.

500
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: And even though she retired, she's been retired twenty years,

501
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: she did have a farewell tour in two thousand and eight,

502
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: and by then she was already living in Switzerland. She

503
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: believed that was a kindred spirit for her and it

504
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: was good to her. And so I want to give

505
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 3: Tina Turner a lot of credit. She's an individual who

506
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 3: rolls from the ashes. She had a de real career,

507
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 3: a derail personal life. She had no money, and she

508
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: rose to a renaissance, not just in the annals of entertainment,

509
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: but in the annals of American history. And that's what

510
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 3: that's what makes this country great, I believe, and I

511
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: think when you observe a life lived like Tina Turner,

512
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: it needs to be recognized and congratulated. Coming up, you

513
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: know Roger Goodell. They're talking about re upping his contract.

514
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: And when you hear the money that he's about to

515
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: get and the money he's already made and where he

516
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: started when he took over as commissioner in two thousand

517
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: and six, it will definitely leave you scratching your head.

518
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 2: We'll share that with you.

Speaker 3: of fun for the whole family, like Roger Goodell is

547
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: about to have. By the way, we're gonna get into

548
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: this later in the show. The NFL adjust the fair

549
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: catch rule for kickoffs in twenty twenty three, and I

550
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: know why they did it because twenty five percent of

551
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: all concussions are directly related to kickoffs, and the NFL

552
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: has already made a one billion dollar settlement, so they

553
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: don't want to do it anymore. And I don't like this.

554
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: I hate this rule. Listen, football is a violent game.

555
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: A kickoff is a big part of the game. You know,

556
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: if they're really worried about player safety. There are other

557
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: things they can do. This is not one of them,

558
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: in my humble opinion. In case you missed it, you know,

559
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: you can take a fair catch and the balls put

560
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 3: in play at the twenty five yard line. And it's

561
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: only set for the twenty twenty three season, so we'll see.

562
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: How it works.

563
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: And the Competition Committee submitted the rule and the ideas

564
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 3: and prove player safety. But that just feels it feels

565
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: a little disingenuous to me.

566
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: But this is all under.

567
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: The legacy and guys of Roder Goodell and per front

568
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 3: Off of sports Roder Goodell. Well, guess what his next

569
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: contract extension if they come to the terms they're talking about.

570
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: Believe it or not, when all is said and done,

571
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: Roger Goodell's next contact extension could could take his career

572
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: earnings as NFL commissioner.

573
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: Now, he's been commissioner since oh six. He was hired

574
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: in No. Six over three quarters of a billion dollars. Now,

575
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: the league wants to keep Goodell. His deal expires at.

576
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: The end of twenty twenty four, and they at this

577
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: point they're talking about extending Goodell three more years, which

578
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: would keep him in place through twenty twenty seven, and

579
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: that's when he turned sixty seven, and that, by consensus,

580
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: is the time which most insiders believe he'll move on.

581
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: He'll hang around to twenty twenty seven. They'll turn sixty

582
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 3: seven into ry Offfen to the senset with seven hundred

583
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars.

584
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: Now, Goodell's been around since six.

585
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: I remember his introductory pros conference because it was at

586
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 3: Super Bowl forty in Detroit, and he got up to speak,

587
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: and it's why Rob Parker went to ask him a

588
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: question and Goodell interrupted him, and Rob didn't like it

589
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: too much, and it was kind of funny. It was

590
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: an inauspicious start. But Goadell was hired in oh six.

591
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: Here's why I brought that up. His compensation that year

592
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: was six point five million. Now let's put that into perspective, okay,

593
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: because his most recent annual salary is believed to be

594
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: about sixty four million, which means Goodell's pay has increased tenfold.

595
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: Says taking over the NFL's top job sixteen years ago,

596
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: seventeen years ago, this latest deal, could I mean you

597
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: hear about the money that some of that you know,

598
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: to what Tiger.

599
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: Woods has made what Lebron's made.

600
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: Godell's gonna damn near be in that territory, and I

601
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: mean up in the stratus here. The people who did

602
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: this research, they use NFL's tax filings from two thousand

603
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: and sixty to twenty fifteen and various other reports since.

604
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: So the league gave up its taxi xemp status, and

605
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: so the conservative estimate believes that through twenty twenty three,

606
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: his earnings to date about five hundred million, so only

607
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: about half a billion, But by twenty twenty seven he

608
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: could be expected to easily eclipse seven hundred million in

609
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: earnings or even more, given the league's growing revenue, and

610
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: a lot of Goodell's compensation is tied to revenue, Like

611
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: you know, there's deals like the ten million check, that

612
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: ten billion dollar bundle of annual media rites that are

613
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: going to be you know, added to the NFL.

614
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: Coffers over the next ten years.

615
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: Now there's even talk because the money keeps flowing, and

616
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: it's always been Goodell's mission in charter to grow the

617
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: NFL into a twenty five billion dollar industry. Some owners

618
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: might want Goddel to stay past twenty twenty seven and

619
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: here's why you can't rule that out because they've talked

620
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: about retirement. They speculated retirement before. As a matter of fact,

621
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: when two deals ago, when the Goodell he had talked

622
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: about walking away in twenty seventeen at age fifty seven,

623
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: but he backed away from that idea. And a gentleman

624
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: by the name of Joe Lockhart, he's a former NFL

625
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 3: communications executive. He thought this current deal would be Goodell's last.

626
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: But Goodell is not going anywhere. I think you are

627
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: going to see him through twenty seven. And just by

628
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: the way, just to give that some perspective, how does Goodell,

629
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: you know, fare against his current commissioner contemporaries, well, Major

630
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 3: League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred. I mean he's you know,

631
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 3: he's not going to be in a breadline anytime soon.

632
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: He makes about seventeen million a year and Adam Silver

633
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: makes about ten million a year and Goodell sixty four

634
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 3: million a year. Maybe that's why the NFL ticket prices.

635
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 2: Per team is surging through the roofs.

636
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: A matter of fact, the announcement of Aaron Rodgers to

637
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: the Jets caused New York Jet ticket prices to serge

638
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: on the secondary market over forty percent, and then to

639
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: compare that to when Tampa Bay announced Tom Brady's retirement,

640
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 3: they dropped forty percent. So obviously a lot of folks

641
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 3: get their ticket prices on the secondary market.

642
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 2: And once the twenty three to twenty four schedule.

643
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: Was released a couple of weeks ago, guess which city,

644
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 3: for the third straight year, has the highest ticket price

645
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 3: per average. Yes, your Las Vegas Raiders. So if you're

646
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 3: planning on coming to Las Vegas and seeing one of

647
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: the eight home games in twenty twenty three, the data

648
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 3: release this past week indicates that the average ticket price

649
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: is one thousand, thirty five dollars. That's about two hundred

650
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: dollars more expensive per ticket than the number two team.

651
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: Believe it or not, it's the New England Patriots eight

652
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 3: hundred and six dollars, and way above the third most

653
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 3: expensive team, the Philadelphia Eagles at six hundred and forty

654
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 3: two dollars. And that's a big number for Philadelphia because

655
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: they saw their average ticket price rise ninety seven percent

656
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 3: following the Super Bowl. Now, the least expensive team the

657
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts, their tickets are only averaging two hundred and

658
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: thirty dollar per ticket on the secondary market.

659
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: Come on, man, you.

660
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: Showing Anthony Richardson any love, but if you want to

661
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: go see him, you pay two hundred and thirty per

662
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: ticket on average in a secondary market versus one thousand

663
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 3: dollars a ticket to see Jimmy g Second behind the

664
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: Colt says the least expensive. The New Orleans Saints no

665
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 3: love to Derek car two hundred and fifty two dollars

666
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 3: a ticket. Baltimore checks in at two to eighty four average,

667
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: and the Washington Commanders at two ninety six. Again back

668
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 3: to the New York Jets. They had their fourth biggest

669
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: year over year boost almost fifty percent from the year before.

670
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: And we know why.

671
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: Sarah Rodgers is the star driven league strain calf or not.

672
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't even believe he had a strained calf. I

673
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: think he just wanted the day off. We'll see. So

674
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 3: we are a far cry from the bounce back after

675
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: the COVID nineteen policies and limit stadium capacity. And you

676
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: know the divisional round last year's playoffs. If you wanted

677
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: to see the forty nine ers against the Cowboys, wow,

678
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: that average ticket was fourteen hundred bucks. And if you

679
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: wanted to go to the Super Bowl. On the secondary market,

680
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: the average ticket was almost nine thousand dollars. That's incredible,

681
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: all right, But again back to the Patriots, six hundred

682
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: and sixty seven dollars. That's the average price of a

683
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: ticket to their opening season night against the Eagles. That's

684
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: the most expensive game of the season. So anyway you

685
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: slice it, the.

686
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: NFL is in.

687
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: Is swimming and dope, and it's not gonna end anytime soon,

688
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 3: all right. Eight seven, seven nine, six six three six nine.

689
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 3: Bernie's Trivia Game Week eight resumes. We should really call

Speaker 2: One.

698
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 3: I want to digress for just a second. I would

699
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: really get a kick if Miami ends up making the

700
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: NBA Finals, because just like I just talked about the

701
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 3: Tina Turner story, right, people that are down and out,

702
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 3: you write them off. I guarantee you on Christmas Day

703
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: you rode off the Miami Heat. You weren't talking about them.

704
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: They were sixteen and seventeen. The record was sixteen and seventeen.

705
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: They were ninth in the East. They weren't a hell

706
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: of a lot better at the All Star break. Yes,

707
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 3: they were five games over five hundred to Miami Heat.

708
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 3: That was good enough for seventh place in the East.

709
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 3: Well some ofw The Hawks managed to hang around, get

710
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 3: through their injuries, fight their way into the playing game,

711
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 3: and they promptly lost to the Atlanta Hawks.

712
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: Remember they lost to the Atlanta Hawks.

713
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: Then they had to come back and win, and now

714
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: they are just one went away from getting to the

715
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: NBA Finals, and in the first round. Let's also not

716
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 3: forget they lost Tyler Herro for their third lead score,

717
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: their best three point shooter in Game one against the Bucks,

718
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 3: the number one seed. Remember that they still came back

719
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: and fought their way. They have they have a three

720
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: zero lead. They've not got a three to two lead.

721
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,120

00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,000

987
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 8: Who you're you gonna take in this game?

00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 11: Run is in Philadelphia?

989
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 8: It is actually in Atlanta.

00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: Strider, which is my understanding.

992
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 3: Just to be just to be clear on this, I

993
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 3: thought Zach Wheeler was starting for the Phillies on Saturday.

994
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 8: Are we sure it's at this is Sunday's game?

Speaker 2: I apologize, No, it's all good. Be nice if I

996
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: be nice, if I paid attention.

997
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 8: No, it's all good.

998
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 2: A lot of bags.

999
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 3: The Phillies are the Phillies are really scuffling. I'm sorry, Ethan.

1000
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: I know you're gonna smack me up Saturday, but I'm

1001
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna go with Atlanta.

1002
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 8: It's all good. I understand. It's hot and they're good.

1003
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 8: All right, Roy.

1004
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 9: We appreciate you for calling in and great stuff. See

1005
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 9: you next week.

1006
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 11: All right, got it?

1007
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: Thank you? All right?

1008
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 3: Great, great, great job everybody tonight, Ethan. You'll have the

1009
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 3: standings up by Monday at five pm. Is that sound right?

1010
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 8: Yep, that's right, all right.

1011
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 3: I appreciate everybody's efforts. And this has gone really well.

1012
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 3: These trivia questions are not easy. You call in, you're

1013
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 3: kind of on the spot. You got the clock ticking,

1014
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: and so this is all in fun. And we are

1015
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 3: at week eight and it'll conclude week twelve and Ethan

1016
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 3: will continue to have the stand the standings up by

1017
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 3: the way coming up bottom of the hour, we're gonna

1018
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 3: have a little fun.

1019
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: You want to know how bad the Oakland A's are.

1020
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna share with you some wild facts that

1021
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 3: make the nineteen you check out the twenty twenty three

1022
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: Oakland A's look like the sixty two mets that the

1023
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 3: sixty two Mets look like the twenty seven Yankees.

1024
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: If you followed all that, you're better to me.

1025
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 3: This is crazy the numbers the A's are putting up

1026
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 3: in terms of win loss run differential and all kinds

1027
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: of things.

1028
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 2: It's really kind of ugly.

1029
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 3: And by the way, at the top of the hour,

1030
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: I will get to the Lebron situation in my thoughts

1031
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 3: as to what's going on there.

1032
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 2: In the meantime, keep it locked right here.

1033
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:29,240
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1034
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 3: Back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming

1035
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: to live from the TYROC dot Com studios here in

1036
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, Nevada. Not Nevada, Nevada. Where the Oakland A's

1037
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 3: might make their home in twenty twenty seven, we shall see,

1038
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 3: but currently they make their home in Oakland. And the

1039
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 3: longer the season goes on, the more the Oakland A's

1040
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 3: are going to be compared to the nineteen sixty two Mets.

1041
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 3: But the sixty two expansion Mets, who win forty in

1042
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty in their inaugural season, managed by

1043
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 3: the legend Casey Stengel, there was something about that team

1044
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 3: that was lovable. They had sort of a panache, they

1045
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 3: had a sort of a flare about them, and they

1046
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 3: just did things that really entertained you, even if they

1047
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 3: weren't winning. Here's an example. They had a rookie shortstop

1048
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 3: by the name of Eliot Chacone. He was a really

1049
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 3: dazzling fielder, but he had a tremendous lack of awareness,

1050
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 3: and that lack of awareness was typically on display with

1051
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: such raw efficiency. There are stories that are almost too

1052
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 3: absurd to believe, but they are true. For instance, whenever

1053
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 3: a pop fly floated into left center field well Chacone,

1054
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 3: he would pursue it with a vengeance, often crashing into

1055
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 3: centerfielder Jim Hickman, knocking him to the ground, inevitably causing

1056
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 3: him to drop the ball. This happened more than once. Finally,

1057
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 3: Hickman's teammate Joe Christopher suggested that Hickman yell out yolo

1058
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: tengo eolo tango.

1059
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 2: See. Chackon didn't speak English.

1060
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 9: So.

1061
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 3: You know, if you say I got it, Chackon didn't

1062
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 3: know what the hell you were talking about. So sure enough,

1063
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 3: a few days later, right on cue, a ball drifts

1064
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 3: into short center field and Hickman Jim Hickman, the centerfielder,

1065
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 3: camps under it and he's yelling yo lo tangoyol tango.

1066
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 2: Yolo tango.

1067
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 3: You can hear him all the way to Staten Island.

1068
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 3: And then sure enough, Eliot Chacone hearing that, peeled away,

1069
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: which gave Jim Hickman's space to catch the pop fly,

1070
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 3: and just as it reached his glove, Hickman was slammed

1071
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 3: to the turf by the Met's left fielder Frank Thomas,

1072
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 3: who conveniently enough didn't speak Spanish. But I digress. The

1073
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 3: sad thing about these Oakland A's is Brad Pitt and

1074
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 3: Jonah Hill ain't walking through that door. It ain't Moneyball,

1075
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 3: it ain't funny Ball, it ain't the Bash Brothers. There's

1076
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 3: no more of Blue, there's no more Catfish, there's no Reggie,

1077
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 3: there's no Rickey Henderson, Dave Stewart, and I bring that

1078
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 3: up because there was a time when the Oakland A's,

1079
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 3: not just a time. Even in the last eleven years

1080
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 3: they went to the playoffs five times. They're a reputable organization.

1081
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 2: I mean one three straight.

1082
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 3: World Series from seventy two to seventy four, came back

1083
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 3: in the late eighties and one. They're competitive, they're relevant,

1084
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 3: they've made the playoffs a lot in the last twelve years.

1085
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 3: But this version of the A's they don't even have

1086
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 3: a one game winning streak. Listen the last they don't

1087
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 3: even have one game losing streak, is what I'm trying

1088
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 3: to say.

1089
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: Right now.

1090
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 3: There are ten and forty three and their run differential

1091
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 3: is minus one eighty seven. That's incredible. That's one hundred

1092
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 3: runs more than the next team behind them. The one

1093
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 3: thing they are adept at is when they lose, they lose.

1094
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 3: They're currently in a nine game losing streak. And they've

1095
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 3: had losing streaks this year of three, six, seven, two, five, three, five, three, three, five,

1096
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 3: and nine, and none of them is a one game

1097
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 3: losing streak. So when they lose, they lose a minimum

1098
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 3: of three in a row. How hard is it to

1099
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 3: go into this season without stopping a one game winning

1100
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 3: streak When you look at the stats in the history

1101
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 3: of baseball, I don't think it's ever happened, not up.

1102
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 2: To fifty games.

1103
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 3: And by the way, I will give them credit, they

1104
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 3: actually did have one winning streak of two. They did

1105
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 3: have a two game winning streak that happened one time.

1106
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 3: All right, we are talking about futility that goes back

1107
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 3: to the eighteen ninety nine Cleveland Spiders and again the

1108
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 3: sixty two Mets.

1109
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: Here's another thing that'll make you scratch your head.

1110
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 3: The A's have trailed at some point in every single

1111
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 3: game but two. And they've won ten games. But even

1112
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 3: in those games, they trailed, and you know, all of

1113
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 3: them were at one point, so in eight of them

1114
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 3: they didn't take the lead for good until the eighth.

1115
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 2: In y or later.

1116
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 3: And in six of them they had a lead from

1117
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 3: between one run and six runs but blew the lead.

1118
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 3: And in one of those games they managed to actually

1119
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 3: pull off a victory.

1120
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 2: And then the weirdest tidbit of all.

1121
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: Yes, they've won ten games, but they have more walkoff

1122
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 3: wins four than Tampa Bay, who has won thirty two

1123
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 3: games but just has three walkoffs. Can't make the stuff off, folks.

1124
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 3: But these are not so fun facts because only twice

1125
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 3: all season have the A's made it through an entire

1126
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 3: game without trailing at some point. The first was back

1127
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 3: on April twelfth, they blew a three to nothing lead

1128
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 3: against Baltimore, never fell behind.

1129
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 2: It was tied.

1130
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 3: But the other was May fifth in Kansas City when

1131
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 3: they had a nine to two lead, then it was

1132
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 3: nine to eight.

1133
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 2: Yes, they actually hung on to win twelve to eight.

1134
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 3: So you think about how hard that is to be

1135
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 3: fifty three games into a season and find yourself trailing

1136
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: in forty three of them. Now, Baseball Reference keeps a

1137
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 3: you know, keeps these stats and it's this is incredibly rare.

1138
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 3: Here's another beauty for you fantasy lovers. The Oakland Ads

1139
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 3: pitching staff, they're ERA, they're culative. E are on the

1140
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 3: road is eight point seven three. Now their temy area

1141
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 3: is about seven periods, so look it doesn't matter if

1142
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 3: they're home around the road. This is like mind boggling stuff.

1143
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: And so you know, basically, you take a guy like

1144
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 3: big poppy David Ortiz, who who's put up massive numbers

1145
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 3: in his career, the cumulative when the A's go on

1146
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 3: the road. What this is essentially saying he's at every

1147
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 3: hitter against the A's on the road and they're eight

1148
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: point seven three ra based on the metrics, has become

1149
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 3: David Ortiz.

1150
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 2: There's no deed to ask.

1151
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 3: I mean, if you got an eight point seven three

1152
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,479
Speaker 3: road eight yeah, I would it be a record.

1153
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1154
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't merely break the record. He would break the

1155
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 3: record by three total runs. Three total runs and you

1156
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 3: gotta go back a long way. I think it's nineteen thirteen.

1157
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 3: This is crazy, all right. They're starting rotation has a

1158
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 3: seven point.

1159
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 2: Five our era. They're having a little over four and

1160
00:59:59,320 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: two thirds.

1161
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 3: Innings to start. That's not real good. Of course, that

1162
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 3: may not be bad news. You want to get him

1163
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 3: out of there as soon as possible. And the A's hitters, well,

1164
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: they've scored one hundred and seventy three runs this year,

1165
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 3: but the opposing teams in those first four and two

1166
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: thirds innings have scored one hundred and ninety one runs

1167
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 3: just against the Oakland starting rotation in four and.

1168
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Two thirds innings.

1169
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: By the way, the only tea you know, it's a

1170
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 3: good thing the Royals. They get to play the Royals

1171
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 3: because the A's had a starting pitcher in their first

1172
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 3: thirty two games not managed to have a single win

1173
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 3: until they finally ran into the thirty two the Kansas

1174
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 3: City Royals, which coincidentally, the A's used to be in

1175
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: Kansas City, now the nineteen ninety six Tigers, the team

1176
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 3: I covered that was a brutal team, terrible team, lost

1177
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 3: one hundred games. They had a pitcher by the name

1178
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 3: of Felipe Lera. He had a Reira at six point

1179
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 3: sixty four. And and you know, I think I haven't

1180
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 3: seen the individual eras, but their starters again one and

1181
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 3: twenty two with a seven point nine to seven ERA,

1182
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 3: you've really got to go deep into the cookie jar.

1183
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 3: They're giving up ten runs. They've given up ten runs

1184
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: fifteen times already in fifty three games. That's just incredible.

1185
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 3: We're going to continue on with this folly because the

1186
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 3: A's might move here, and I think it's time to

1187
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 3: bring in the crew to get their thoughts on what

1188
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 3: they think about the A's moving here and how, you know,

1189
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 3: just their impressions if they have observed what the Oakland

1190
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 3: A's are doing this year.

1191
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 2: But first, let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures

1192
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: with the latest.

1193
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 5: All right, well, speaking of Major League Baseball, Bernie Friday

1194
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 5: Night Pittsburgh hit seven home runs and an eleven to

1195
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 5: six victory at Seattle, Andrew McCutchen, Brian Reynolds hitting two

1196
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 5: of those long balls, Chris Saylee picking up his fifth

1197
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 5: win of the season for Boston. They beat Arizona seven

1198
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 5: to two, Horey selaira home run, and the Marlins victory

1199
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 5: over the Angels in Anaheim six to two was the

1200
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 5: final there. Astros have won nine of their last eleven.

1201
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 5: They get a five to two victory in Oakland, as

1202
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 5: Bernie just mentioned, it was the Mets five and the

1203
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 5: Rockies two. Francisco Lindora a couple of hits in a

1204
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 5: home run Craig Kimbroll picking up saved number four hundred

1205
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 5: as the Phillies bed Atlanta six to four, Giants, scoring

1206
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 5: seven runs in the third inning on their way to

1207
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 5: a fifteen to one demolition of the Brewers Padres, handing

1208
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 5: the Yankees their third street loss. Home runs there for

1209
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,959
Speaker 5: Juan Soto and Fernando Tatis, Junior Corey Seger a Grand

1210
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 5: Slam for the Rangers. They hammered Baltimore twelve to two.

1211
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 5: Wins for Toronto, Cleveland and the Rays, who defeated the

1212
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 5: Dodgers nine to three. News Out of the NFL, the

1213
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 5: Cardinals released Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins, which will Incordy

1214
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 5: a twenty two million dollar dead salary cap hit this

1215
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 5: coming season.

1216
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 6: Back to Bernie Fredo.

1217
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 2: All right, Kevin, let's keep it right here.

1218
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 3: Just as an observer, what are your knee jerk reactions

1219
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 3: about the Aides potentially moving to Las Vegas.

1220
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 6: It's sad but necessary.

1221
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, First, I feel terrible for that area, the Bay

1222
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 5: area in Oakland that you talk about. Over the span

1223
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 5: of what five years, six years, they're going to end

1224
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 5: up losing pretty much everything that they had, the Warriors,

1225
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 5: the Raiders and now the Oakland A's, but they just

1226
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 5: can't get out of their own way. The minutes apality

1227
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 5: is ridiculous. You have the Oakland Alameda to have to

1228
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 5: deal with the city and the county, too much red

1229
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 5: tape to cut through, and that's a big issue and

1230
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 5: has been a big issue, is why these teams are leaving.

1231
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 5: But it's been nothing short of embarrassing the product the

1232
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 5: ais have put on the field these last couple of seasons,

1233
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 5: and I understand why the fans are upset, but look,

1234
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 5: I think it's it's necessary.

1235
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 6: At this point.

1236
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 5: You play at a very archaic, to say the least.

1237
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,439
Speaker 5: I think I'm using that kindly stadium and you're going

1238
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 5: to a brand new facility, proposed, brand new state of

1239
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 5: the art.

1240
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 6: Facility in Las Vegas.

1241
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 5: So unfortunately, I think it's sad for the city of Oakland,

1242
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 5: but I think for that franchise, it's a necessary move

1243
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 5: at this point.

1244
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I will never know if the

1245
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 3: Howard Terminal thing would have worked out. I saw those

1246
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 3: artists renderings, the architectural renderings, and I think the city

1247
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 3: gave the A's about three hundred and eighty million. I

1248
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 3: don't know the specifics of the deal up there, more

1249
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 3: well versed on the one down here at Ethan.

1250
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Let's go to you. What are your thoughts about the

1251
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 2: E's potentially coming to Vegas.

1252
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, all these teams are going to Vegas

1253
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 9: right now, so these professional teams. So I just think

1254
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 9: it's good for the trend, keep it going. I don't

1255
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 9: really have a huge opinion on it, but yeah, that's

1256
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 9: about it.

1257
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 3: But when the team vacates the city, it's really kind

1258
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 3: of a big deal. And I think that especially when

1259
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 3: you have an iconic at one time franchise like the

1260
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 3: A's have been there, you know, fifty five years. But

1261
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 3: I guess look major League Baseball in rob Manford, they're

1262
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 3: certainly trying to shoot on this thing. And I don't

1263
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 3: even want to vote on this as early as mid June,

1264
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 3: but Ethan, keep it here for just a second. Have

1265
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 3: you've seen the A's play this year? Do you have

1266
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 3: any thoughts about what you're seeing?

1267
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 9: All I know is they stink and I don't watch

1268
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 9: them at all, and I don't think anybody watches them,

1269
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 9: So I don't think it really matters that they're leaving

1270
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 9: Oakland if you really look at the grand scheme of things.

1271
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 8: I mean, there's history there.

1272
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,439
Speaker 9: There's history with the A's and you know, I guess

1273
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 9: you could say that, but yeah, not much going on.

1274
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 3: There's history going back to the Philadelphia's with Connie Max.

1275
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 3: They want to you want to talk about about real history, Kevin.

1276
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 3: Just any final thoughts on the A's and the product

1277
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 3: that's on the field right now.

1278
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, it seems like and I don't know what

1279
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 5: their minor league system looks like, but the A's for

1280
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 5: years were a team, you know, kind of like Tampa Bay.

1281
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 5: You know, you cycle in some young guys who on

1282
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 5: the upswing and they win, and then you have to.

1283
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 6: Tear it down and rebuild. But rarely do they have

1284
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 6: to tear it down.

1285
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 5: This bout I mean, they're historically bad right now to

1286
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 5: only have ten victories, and they don't have, at least

1287
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 5: from a major league standpoint, a lot of talent that

1288
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 5: I've seen as an Angel fan.

1289
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 6: Ice watched them.

1290
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 5: I won't say super closely, but I keep tabs on

1291
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 5: the American League West, and you mentioned out bat. The

1292
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 5: pitching has been all season long, and even from a

1293
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 5: position player standpoint outside of Rooker and Langoleras has some

1294
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 5: power here and there, but there's really not a lot

1295
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 5: to ride home about. So even as exciting as a

1296
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 5: potential move to Las Vegas will be, I mean, how

1297
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 5: far are they from actually being a competitive baseball team?

1298
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: Again, yes, you have seen them.

1299
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 3: So the Shael angelierzer catcher was here in Las Vegas

1300
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 3: last year, like the number five pick overall in the

1301
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 3: draft by the Braves. But I think he's part of

1302
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 3: the deal that brought Greg Olsen to Atlanta. Madelson, I'm sorry,

1303
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 3: thank you, all right, good stuff, guys. We're gonna catch

1304
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 3: you guys back top of next hour after I give

1305
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 3: my commentary on Lebron. But in case you missed it,

1306
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 3: look today, a measure that is the purpose is bringing

1307
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 3: the A's to Vegas was introduced Friday in the Senate,

1308
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 3: and it proposes that both the state of Nevada and

1309
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 3: Clark County that here in Nevada, offer a public financing

1310
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 3: package of up two one hundred and three internet check

1311
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 3: that three hundred and eighty million to fund a portion

1312
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 3: of the stadium. And there are renderings now on the

1313
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 3: Internet from three angles. They don't appear to me to

1314
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 3: be actual architectural renderings, just like stadium renderings. And if

1315
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,479
Speaker 3: you read the bill, it's really odd. It doesn't really

1316
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 3: necessarily indicate a specific location. The location they're showing is

1317
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 3: a Tropic Canas site on the corner of Tropicana, Las Vegas, Bulevard.

1318
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 3: The stadiums facing northwest. You see the skyline, You see

1319
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 3: the MGM over the right, over the right pavilion, and

1320
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 3: you see New York, New York over the left field pavilion.

1321
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 2: Look, but it's not there's gonna be a rift in

1322
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 2: this state budget.

1323
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 3: Okay, you have one of the things.

1324
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 2: Let me get a little granular here.

1325
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 3: A couple of days ago, a Democratic as stembly speaker

1326
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 3: govern the name is Steve Jeger, not the former Dodger catcher.

1327
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 3: And then the Senate Majority leader, a lady named Nicole

1328
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,959
Speaker 3: Canner zero. They basically had a press conference they said

1329
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 3: they're not going to move to advance any public legislation,

1330
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 3: including this bill for the A's until our Governor Joe

1331
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 3: lombarr has signed the budget and that is supposed to

1332
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 3: hit his desk this weekend. But Lombardo twice has threatened

1333
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 3: to vita the budget because if it doesn't have what

1334
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 3: he wants in it, and there are five bills that

1335
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 3: make up the budget, and if certain key measures aren't passed,

1336
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 3: then he won't sign the budget and that.

1337
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 2: Could hold this whole thing up.

1338
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 3: And the legislator session is due to adjourn on June fifth, well,

1339
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 3: June first is Wednesday. I don't know how this is

1340
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 3: happening so fast, right, but there is a public financing package.

1341
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 3: There'd be a limit of three hundred and eighty million

1342
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 3: that would allow the stadium Authority to authorize up to

1343
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty million and tax credits and then

1344
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 3: there'd be bonds sold. And it gets a little granular,

1345
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 3: but the steved or this thing together, and the bill

1346
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 3: would allow the counter to pay those bonds that would

1347
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,799
Speaker 3: be generated through this. What's called a tax financing district.

1348
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 3: And so you've got the stadium and all the revenues

1349
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 3: generated by the stadium, sales tax, payroll taxes, you have

1350
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 3: to pledge those to pay off the public financing. If

1351
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 3: for some reason that didn't generate enough and the state

1352
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 3: coffers were exhausted, there is a possibility. Do I think

1353
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 3: it'll get to this, No, that we could have a

1354
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 3: property taxes raised in Nevada. So I think there's a

1355
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 3: fight ahead of us. My gut tells me. At the

1356
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 3: end of the day, they got the votes. Just politics

1357
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 3: is weird. I don't pretend to care about it or

1358
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 3: know about it, but I do pay attention to it.

1359
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 3: From the standpoint of somehow it seems like enough of

1360
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 3: the right people who care want this to happen, and

1361
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 3: that's why you're seeing it almost shoehorned in a way

1362
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 3: like nothing I've ever seen. I can tell you that

1363
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:47,959
Speaker 3: when the Raiders Stadium was built, much different. Sheldon Nagelson,

1364
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 3: a philanthropist, the CEO of Sands, played six hundred and

1365
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 3: fifty million dollars. Once he got on board, he got

1366
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 3: the MGM on board, he got sizars on board.

1367
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 2: These are par brokers.

1368
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 3: He took it to our Governor, Brian Sandeval all the

1369
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,839
Speaker 3: time he got the pow politicians on board. He convinced

1370
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 3: them that by building a Legion field that it would

1371
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 3: ensure and solidify Las Vegas as a first class, world

1372
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 3: class destination city tourist attraction because there would be plenty

1373
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 3: of other events above and beyond just the Raiders, and

1374
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 3: that has actually come to fruition. At the end of

1375
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 3: the day, Sheldon Andelson ended up pulling out because he

1376
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 3: couldn't strike a deal with the Raiders to get his share,

1377
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 3: but Bank of America stepped in made a loan. The

1378
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 3: rest is history. Even then, there was still tremendous pushback.

1379
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 3: There were people who didn't want that stadium. This is

1380
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 3: quite a bit different, and so now the next week

1381
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 3: should be very interesting.

1382
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 2: This build draft request.

1383
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 3: It's got to be introduced by lawmakers and then you're

1384
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 3: going to see lobbyists check in, more lawmakers check in.

1385
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 3: The public is supposed to have an opportunity to weigh

1386
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 3: in as well as the Clark County Commission. They'll be

1387
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 3: a legislative consol bureau. They'll need a vote. All these

1388
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 3: things have to happen in the next few days. And

1389
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 3: by the way, the stadium's proximity to the airport here

1390
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 3: Are International Airport is going to require approval from the

1391
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 3: FAA before they can begin instruct construction. I don't think

1392
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 3: that's going to be a big deal, but all these

1393
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 3: things still have to happen.

1394
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 2: Coming up some.

1395
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 3: News this week in the NFL. The NFL pasted a

1417
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 2: Slash match it's probably heard by now. The NFL.

1418
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 3: They passed a flex scheduling vote for Thursday night football

1419
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 3: by a vote of twenty fourty eight. So there was

1420
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 3: a few teams. I can tell you that the Giants, Jets, Packers, Bears, Raiders, Lions, Bengals,

1421
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 3: and Steelers. They all voted against them measure, according to

1422
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,560
Speaker 3: Adam Schefter, but the resolution still passed. There are some caveats.

1423
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 3: Here's a deal Amazon Prime streams of Thursday games. They

1424
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 3: only get two flexes. They're gonna get two flexes. They're

1425
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 3: gonna be between the weeks of thirteen and seventeen, and

1426
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: they must be done within twenty eight days.

1427
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 2: Advanced notice. I mean you got to give somebody a

1428
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 2: month notice, basically, and those two teams or those teams

1429
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 2: cannot play to away Thursday night football games in the season,

1430
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 2: so it limits it somewhat. There may not even be

1431
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 2: any flex games this year. Maybe there'll be one, we'll see.

1432
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good deal for the fans,

1433
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 2: for folks who may have bought tickets in one of

1434
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 2: those cities in those four weeks. And here's the thing.

1435
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 3: It's again, it's one of those twenty twenty three experiments,

1436
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 3: and less flexible scheduling is not applied this year. Basically,

1437
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 3: flexible scheduling will remain in effect for next year if

1438
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 3: it's not applied, But if it is applied, they'll review

1439
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 3: it and we'll see if they continue it now in

1440
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 3: two thousand and six. I mean, the NFL has had

1441
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 3: flex scheduling for the Sunday night games.

1442
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 2: For seventeen years. Because you know how the drill goes.

1443
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 3: You look at a Sunday night game in November and

1444
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 3: you say to yourself, wow, that should be a really

1445
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 3: good game. Maybe those two teams stink it up, so

1446
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 3: your rotated team and they're like last year, the Lions

1447
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 3: were the beneficiaries of that they got flexed in with

1448
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 3: Green Bay and the final Sunday night game of the

1449
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 3: year because that game had playoff implications and the Allions

1450
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 3: had become sort of a darling, immediate darling. And now

1451
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 3: they are on their way and do the first Thursday night.

1452
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 2: Game this year.

1453
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 3: But again it'll only be week thirteen through seventeen. The

1454
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 3: maxic can flex is two games. And oh, by the way,

1455
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 3: teams can't play two road games, and you're gonna have

1456
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,600
Speaker 3: to give twenty eight day notice. So we'll see the

1457
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:33,879
Speaker 3: NFL always tinkering.

1458
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 2: And you know why they did it. They know where

1459
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 2: their bread's buttered. TV.

1460
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,919
Speaker 3: It's all about TV, and that's the way the cookie crumbles,

1461
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 3: all right. I've been talking about Matt Eriza. If you recall,

1462
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 3: Matt Ariza was cut by the Buffalo Bills in August

1463
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 3: of last year, shortly after an allegation that was made

1464
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 3: public that he had taken part in a gang rape

1465
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 3: of a minor while he was still attending San Diego State.

1466
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 3: Matt was considered the best punter in the country. And

1467
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 3: I can tell you out here in Mountain West Country

1468
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 3: UNLV plays. He was a master at Coffin Corners and

1469
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 3: penning teams in tad to ten. He was an incredible punter. Okay,

1470
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 3: while in college, he got a four year, four million

1471
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 3: dollar contract by the Bills, but he was cut.

1472
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Fast forward nine months.

1473
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 3: We are now in the month of May, and apparently

1474
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 3: the data and the investigation determined that he was not

1475
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 3: president at the time of the incident that allegedly took

1476
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 3: place in October twenty twenty one. And now Matt Erisa

1477
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 3: has landed his first ever workout, not his first ever workout,

1478
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 3: his first workout with the NFL team since being cut

1479
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 3: by Buffalo had a last season over the gang rape allegations.

1480
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: Say hello to the New York Jets.

1481
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 3: The New York Jets are giving Matta Rasa, he's now

1482
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 3: a free agent punter, a look and we'll see what

1483
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 3: happens there.

1484
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 2: But his legal troubles still are.

1485
01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 3: I think the criminal aspect of his legal issues, believe

1486
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 3: have been vacated to the best of my knowledge. Don't

1487
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 3: know if it's one hundred percent, I believe that's the case.

1488
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 3: But there was a transcript of the meeting between the

1489
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 3: accuser and prosecutors that was brought to light a couple

1490
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, which investigators explained they do not believe

1491
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 3: Eurizah was present at the time they alleged assault in

1492
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 3: the San Diego District Attorney's office, so they declined to

1493
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 3: file criminal charges. But again, his legal troubles are not

1494
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,719
Speaker 3: one hundred percent over because he's facing a civil suit

1495
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 3: and according to Manta RAYSI has no plans of selling

1496
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 3: this anytime soon because even you know they're because he

1497
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 3: says he's innocent. I think there was an offer to

1498
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 3: settle for fifty grand and he's he's telling people, I

1499
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 3: don't you know, there's no way for me to know

1500
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 3: what would happened, right. But he was recently did some interviews.

1501
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 3: He said he holds nothing against the bills for cutting him,

1502
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 3: and he doesn't hold any grudge against the investigators who

1503
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 3: term and the user or false rape allegations. He just said,

1504
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 3: I wish things would have been handled differently. He said

1505
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 3: they did treat me with respect, but it's the climate

1506
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 3: of how things are now. He went on to talk

1507
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 3: about and he believed he would get another shot in

1508
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 3: the NFL, and it appears now that that door is open.

1509
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 3: I asked last week if that would happen, right, So

1510
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 3: he got to work out with the New York Jets.

1511
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 3: And if you look at this objectively, it does raise

1512
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 3: a journalistic question, a question which should engender a conversation.

1513
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 3: Despite the fact there wasn't a single fact at the

1514
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 3: time or a single fact that was known or approved

1515
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 3: about the alleged incident.

1516
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:38,480
Speaker 2: The Bills caved.

1517
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 3: In to the portion of the public who had already

1518
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 3: deemed the punter guilty and they cut him shortly before

1519
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 3: the start of the twenty twenty two NFL season. And

1520
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,799
Speaker 3: I think that is a topic that would be debated

1521
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 3: for quite some time as this ends to you know,

1522
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 3: as this continues to be fleshed out, whatever the facts

1523
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 3: may be, the more they want to publish, you know,

1524
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 3: as they said after Watergate, the people who weren't culpable,

1525
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 3: where do you go to get your reputation back? He

1526
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 3: saw what happened with the Duke lacrosse team as well,

1527
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 3: back in two thousand and six. So part of the

1528
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 3: NFL far this week matter rise of the best punter

1529
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 3: in the country coming out of San Diego State last

1530
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 3: year is in campus the New York Jets.

1531
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 2: We shall see how this plays out.

1532
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 3: We shall see if he makes a team, if it's

1533
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,799
Speaker 3: not with the Jets, maybe someone else, but it appears

1534
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 3: he's been cleared. So this is America and we do

1535
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 3: believe in second chances. We'll see what happens coming up.

1536
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 3: Lebron James made it about himself. Keep it locked right here.

1537
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 3: You listen to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports

1538
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 3: Radio by the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. Lebron James

1539
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,959
Speaker 3: did what Lebron James does. He makes it about himself,

1540
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 3: self serving, self aggrandizing, calculating, predictable, and vacuous.

1541
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 2: Yep quote.

1542
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:53,759
Speaker 3: I got a lot to think about, to be honest,

1543
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 3: Lebron said, just for me personally going forward with the

1544
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 3: game of basketball, I got a lot to think about.

1545
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Well, of course he does. He's got to think about

1546
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 2: how many more years he wants.

1547
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 3: To play, he want to play four or five? And

1548
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 3: what offense will he and BRONI run when they get

1549
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 3: on the floor together. As far as retirement, yeah right,

1550
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 3: gona have to think about there too, because he's got

1551
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 3: a plan his farewell tour. He's gonna be two years,

1552
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 3: it's gonna be three years, maybe a three year farewell tour.

1553
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 3: Plenty of flowers, you know, we'll get the marching bands

1554
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 3: top flight, you know, culinary retreats, of course, and in

1555
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 3: the street of nauseating speeches that only Lebron can give.

1556
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 3: Plus we all know, if you listen, you really believe

1557
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 3: Lebron wants his last memory to be swept in four,

1558
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 3: missing the layup, missing the dunks, and failing to get

1559
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 3: that final shot off. He played well Monday night. I'll

1560
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 3: give him that he played hard. I think he played

1561
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 3: all forty eight minutes. I don't think he wants to

1562
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 3: end that way. And let's be fair, Lebron's legacy is secure,

1563
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 3: four titles in three cities, all time leading scorer, the king.

1564
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 3: Just ask him, the goat, just ask him. So what

1565
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 3: the hell are we doing here? Well, apparently later on,

1566
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 3: in a side conversation with some of the sp he

1567
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 3: clarified it by saying he would he's weighing retirement.

1568
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 2: Would Lebron really walk away? All right? Just for purposes

1569
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 2: of this radio show tonight.

1570
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 3: Let's talk about what possibilities theoretically exist that would cause

1571
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 3: Lebron to be of the inclination to announce he's pondering retirement.

1572
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 3: But again, there are hypothetical situations. So I'll give him

1573
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 3: one percent of the doubt.

1574
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 2: I think.

1575
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 3: I tweeted to say, Lebron retire. Yeah, sure, you got

1576
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,959
Speaker 3: a better chance of Led Zeppelin re recording the Gilligans

1577
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 3: Allen theme song and selling a million copies.

1578
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 2: He ain't retiring. Not a chance. But number one, let's

1579
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 2: play along, Let's have a little fun. He's thirty eight

1580
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 2: years old, just completed his twentieth season. He's played over

1581
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 2: sixty five thousand minutes. He's the all time leading scorer.

1582
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 3: He's had foot injuries that limited his play, he might

1583
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 3: need surgery, and there are thoughts that eventually he'll shift

1584
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 3: gears to pursue other interests he has. But Lebron Jays

1585
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 3: James does have one guaranteed season remaining on his contract,

1586
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,639
Speaker 3: worth about forty seven million. He's even got a player

1587
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 3: option for the following season worth fifty million. So is

1588
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 3: he gonna give up ninety eight million dollars in the

1589
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 3: next two years, which he might watch someday to go

1590
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 3: toward the Biddy for his own NBA team.

1591
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna vote no on that one. So I'd be

1592
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 2: shocked if Lebron was willing to walk away from the money.

1593
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 2: I'd be even more shocked if he's willing to walk

1594
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 2: away from the chance of playing with his son in

1595
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 2: the NBA, which is the dream he's talked about for

1596
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 2: many years and potentially a couple seasons away. Potentially set

1597
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 2: that conversation aside it for another day. But that leads

1598
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 2: us to another speculative hypothetical situation, which I'm also not buying.

1599
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 2: That Lebron might retire quote for one year.

1600
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 3: Okay, now we're really getting we're really using our poetic

1601
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 3: license here, but this is the stuff blown in the

1602
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:09,759
Speaker 3: wind that oh, Lebron announces his retirement, spends next season

1603
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 3: attending every USC home game, sitting courtside as Bron. He

1604
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 3: suits up for the Trojans, and then the Lebron appears

1605
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 3: on his TV show and he makes some court set

1606
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 3: appearances in some Laker games, you know, drinks a little

1607
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 3: wine Gladham's people, where his sunglasses looks cool, and then

1608
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:31,719
Speaker 3: behind closed doors he works to get healthy and rest

1609
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 3: up to return for the twenty four to twenty five season.

1610
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 3: Then maybe he comes back at one hundred percent setting

1611
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 3: up his return is farewell, But would Lebron really bypass

1612
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 3: one more year of potential? You know, contending for another title,

1613
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 3: if that's what their goal is, to only come back

1614
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 3: at age forty, And you know, the real question would

1615
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 3: be under this scenario, which I also don't believe, would

1616
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 3: be whether a summer, just the summer of rehab could

1617
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 3: get him back to the player he was prior to

1618
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 3: his foot injury.

1619
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 2: He was more explosive, but he did put.

1620
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 3: Up some good numbers in the playoffs, and Lebron believed

1621
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 3: if he was he'd still be better than ninety percent

1622
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,759
Speaker 3: of the NBA. Maybe ninety five percent, right, but you got.

1623
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 2: To get a man credit.

1624
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 3: In an elimination game Monday night, he put up forty

1625
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 3: ten to nine, and he played every minute of the game.

1626
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 3: And when he defended Nicola was he defended him. He

1627
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 3: did not mail it in, and he even switched down at

1628
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray at one point during the game force twenty

1629
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 3: four second violation. So Lebron played his butt off Monday night.

1630
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 3: He flew around on defense and he carried the offense.

1631
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 3: And you know he's I think he scored the most

1632
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 3: points ever for a player at that age in the NBA.

1633
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he'd have to look it up.

1634
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 3: So there's no question that Lebron maybe passed his prime,

1635
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,799
Speaker 3: but he's still very valuable and he's still.

1636
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 2: A critical contributor.

1637
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 3: And with Lebron playing at that level, if he's available,

1638
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 3: on paper, the Lakers are potentially a contender.

1639
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll go as far next year as

1640
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 2: they did this year. I think they caught lightning in

1641
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 2: a bottle. But the playoff version of Lebron is still

1642
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 2: better than a lot of people in the league, let's

1643
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 2: face it.

1644
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 3: So if you really think Lebron's going to take a hiatus,

1645
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it's in the cards. But again, it's

1646
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 3: what's blowing in the wind, and it's just you know,

1647
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 3: it's just words, I think. But there's another scenario too,

1648
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 3: that Baby Lebron was using this as a calculated, conniving

1649
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 3: attempt to negotiate publicly. Because even though making it to

1650
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,879
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals was a huge achievement for the Lakers,

1651
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 3: this year, you got a rookie head coach in Darvinham.

1652
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 3: They had to reshape the team in midseason. They started

1653
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,919
Speaker 3: out two and ten, They almost lost in the playoff

1654
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 3: game or the play in game. Excuse me to Minnesota

1655
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 3: down two starters but even though they ended on a

1656
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:01,400
Speaker 3: high note, and I think you really have to tip

1657
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 3: your cap to the entire Laker organization for getting to

1658
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 3: the conference finals.

1659
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 2: Lebron talked about that as well.

1660
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,480
Speaker 3: He says, I don't play for anything besides winning championships

1661
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 3: at this point in my career, and I don't get

1662
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 3: a kick out of making a conference finals appearance. I've

1663
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 3: done it a lot. It's not fun for me. I

1664
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 3: don't believe any of that, but I do believe he

1665
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 3: would still like to win. I do believe that.

1666
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 2: So why the threat of retirement.

1667
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 3: Then, well, maybe this is his sole bargaining power this summer,

1668
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 3: since he signed a multi year deal last offseason to

1669
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 3: try to, you know, kind of strong arm the Lakers

1670
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 3: into going all in, get some reinforcements. Please, if you

1671
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 3: mentioned Kyrie Irving, are you out of your mind?

1672
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 2: Really?

1673
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 3: And I just feel so bad that Kyrie was so

1674
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 3: disrespected in Brooklyn. Brooklyn disaster, Boston disaster, didn't in well

1675
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 3: in Cleveland, and you saw what happened in Dallas.

1676
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,759
Speaker 2: They ended up trying to tank. And that's with Kyrie.

1677
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 3: My guy tells me, my most tell me that Mark

1678
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 3: Cuban's gonna sign Kyrie and he's going to.

1679
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:55,839
Speaker 2: Stay in Dallas.

1680
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know if I let Lebron

1681
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 3: play at GM anymore. After the Russell Westbrooks situation. He's

1682
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 3: had a few he's sworn and missed a few times.

1683
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 3: But the Lakers do have options to upgrade their team. Right,

1684
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 3: they have the seventeenth pick in this year's draft. They

1685
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 3: can also trade their first round picks in twenty four

1686
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:16,639
Speaker 3: to twenty five and maybe even twenty nine to thirty,

1687
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 3: And then you might find guys out there that you

1688
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 3: can bring in. You know, you can dangle Malik Beasley

1689
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 3: and Mobamba. They might be enticing in trades. D'Angelo Russell's

1690
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,640
Speaker 3: a free agent. He could be assigning trade option. But

1691
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 3: I think above and beyond all, you really do need

1692
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 3: to retain Rui Hachimura and Austin Reeves, although Reeves in

1693
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 3: theory could have a value in assigning trade option as well.

1694
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 2: So with the Lakers.

1695
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 3: Listen, look, you went through a season in which Rob

1696
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 3: Polenka and the front office basically brushed off Lebron's demands

1697
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 3: as the season went on, Right, Polenka didn't offload, you know,

1698
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 3: the first round picks and He even passed up a

1699
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 3: chance to get Kyrie at the deadline last year, so

1700
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,839
Speaker 3: I don't know why we try to get him this year. Instead,

1701
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 3: Plinkett did some very shrewd He traded one future protected first,

1702
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 3: but he got and a bunch of scraps by the way,

1703
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 3: and he got D'Angelo Russell, Ruy Hachimursey Ruy Hachimura, who

1704
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 3: was tremendous I thought, and Jared Vanderbilt who did a

1705
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 3: very fine job. Malik Beasley mobamba.

1706
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 2: It worked. The Lakers actually got.

1707
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 3: To the Conference finals, and many people Dick Wright just

1708
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 3: about guaranteed they'd win by the tzarro, the telestrator Mike

1709
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 3: Furtello said they'd win the championship. I never once believed it.

1710
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 3: You've heard me on Saturday Nights with Aaron and Jason

1711
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 3: Martin and on my shows. I never believed the Lakers

1712
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 3: would get past Denver. But regardless, this is a glass

1713
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 3: half full conversation. I'm just not believe in the Brons

1714
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 3: gonna retire. And even though the Lakers got swept, let's

1715
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 3: be fair, they were competitive in pretty much all four games,

1716
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 3: and if maybe they had different enforcements, that reinforcements it

1717
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 3: might have been better. Dever was a way better team.

1718
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 3: And I told you in the bubble they didn't have

1719
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 3: to travel and the bubble they had four months off.

1720
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 3: If this had been in the bubble this year, that

1721
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 3: might have been a six game series, maybe a seven

1722
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 3: game series. But the culative effect of Lebron and ad

1723
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 3: having to play forty plus minutes a night every other

1724
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 3: night and going to altitude, I told you would have

1725
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 3: a cumulative effect and it did. And of course the

1726
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 3: fourth scenario, and this is one that is really just

1727
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 3: borderlines on the stupid demand to trade?

1728
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 2: Are you serious?

1729
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 3: And now there's even bantering about Lebron could demand to

1730
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 3: trade to the Warriors, Okay, And there's thoughts, well, Mike

1731
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 3: Draymond Green begin recruiting Lebron of the Warriors.

1732
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,679
Speaker 2: Did it already happen? Will it happened before the finals begin?

1733
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 2: You know?

1734
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 3: Will these conversations happen if they haven't already from you?

1735
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,719
Speaker 3: We know Draymond has got a man crush on Lebron,

1736
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 3: and they've got the clutch connection and the history of recruiting,

1737
01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:59,799
Speaker 3: and there's interest between Lebron and the Warriors. Could be mutual,

1738
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 3: which I don't believe. I don't believe the Warriors have

1739
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 3: any interest in Lebron, and I don't believe the Lakers

1740
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 3: have any interest in trading Lebron to the Warriors.

1741
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a bff.

1742
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,560
Speaker 3: With Raymond, and he's already said to Steph Curry is

1743
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 3: the current player he most liked to play with. Said

1744
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 3: that a couple of years ago, and Steph Curry frankly

1745
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,679
Speaker 3: dismissed it. But last year in the shop, Lebron's business partner,

1746
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 3: Mavick Carter pushed him to share the team he'd want

1747
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 3: to play with most other than the Lakers, and Lebron

1748
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 3: said it would be the Warriors or the Heat.

1749
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 2: So there you have it.

1750
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 3: Is he maneuvering, is he bargaining? Is he just blowing

1751
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 3: off steam or is he just calling attention to himself.

1752
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 3: Lebron's human. He likes attention. He's not Bill Russell, He's

1753
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 3: not Magic Johnson, he's not Larry Bird, he's not Michael Jordan.

1754
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 3: Those guys were stone cold killers. Lebron wants to be liked,

1755
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 3: and that's okay. Most human beings do want to be liked.

1756
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 3: I just don't know why he leads with his chint

1757
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 3: so much. But I believe that what he did the

1758
01:29:56,280 --> 01:30:00,799
Speaker 3: other night was merely just a situation where he wanted

1759
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 3: to do what Lebron does and call attention to himself.

1760
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 3: I believe with all my heart he will be back

1761
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 3: in the Lake our uniform next year. They'll get the

1762
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 3: surgery on the foot. Lebron takes very good care of

1763
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 3: his body. I understand he spends about a million dollars

1764
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 3: a year just taking care of his body. And it

1765
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 3: shows because there were period there were you know, there

1766
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 3: were points in that in that conference finals where he

1767
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 3: looked tremendous on both ends of the floor and he

1768
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 3: did not mail it in. He played hard and what

1769
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 3: more can you ask? But that's just my opinion, and

1770
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 3: opinions are flying around and why not check in with

1771
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 3: the crew? So I would like to hear what Kevin

1772
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 3: and and Ethan have to say about this. What was

1773
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 3: Lebron really doing Monday night? Do they think he really

1774
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:51,680
Speaker 3: would retire? Do they really think he would demand a

1775
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 3: trade to the Warriors? Could you see Lebron anywhere else

1776
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 3: but La where he gets to live in La and

1777
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 3: go to all Lebroni's games. Just none of it makes

1778
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 3: sense to me and I you know, as I said

1779
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 3: in Texas, don't pee on your shoes and don't pee

1780
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 3: on my boots and tell me it's rained. And this

1781
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 3: just didn't pass the giggle test with me. And I

1782
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 3: don't know why we spent so much time on it,

1783
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 3: but I have to. It's the law, it's what we do.

1784
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 3: I'm Bernie Fradle. We're Company Alive from the Las Vegas

1785

Speaker 3: Frattle Show Company Live from the Fox Sports Radio tire

1790
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 3: Act dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Talking about

1791
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 3: Lebron's comments Monday night and the potential options for twenty

1792
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 3: three twenty four.

1793
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm on record, he's going nowhere. You'll see him in the.

1794
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 3: Lakers lineup opening night unless the foot surgery prevents that.

1795
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 2: But this is my opinion. Let's bring in the crew.

1796
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,760
Speaker 3: Kevin first, give your thoughts, your knee jerk reaction when

1797
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:48,680
Speaker 3: Lebron made those comments Monday night.

1798
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 5: Well, the only reason I would give pause to saying that,

1799
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 5: And by the way, I will admit that Lebron James

1800
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 5: and most things that he does is very calculated and

1801
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 5: very prepared. So I do want to acknowledge that. But look,

1802
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:02,760
Speaker 5: it's been a long season. They got off to the

1803
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 5: slow start. He's dealing with injuries, Anthony Davis was dealing

1804
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 5: with injuries. They've been in playoff Molbernie's for what two

1805
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 5: months left in the regular season, going all the way

1806
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 5: into the playoffs. I think it was a very trying

1807
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 5: and a very taxing year all the way around for him.

1808
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 5: So I do feel in that moment that he was

1809
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 5: being mostly genuine and thinking about his future. Do I

1810
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 5: seriously think that he's going to retire. No, But in

1811
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 5: that moment, fresh off of getting swept after scoring forty points,

1812
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 5: being emotionally and physically drained, being injured with the tendon

1813
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,639
Speaker 5: in the foot, I do think you start thinking about

1814
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 5: your mortality a little bit.

1815
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 6: So I thought that that was genuine.

1816
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 5: But after Cooler has prevailed ninety seven million dollars left

1817
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 5: on his contract these next two seasons, he was never

1818
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 5: going to retire after this year.

1819
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 3: And he still wants to play with his son, and

1820
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 3: he still wants to win one more championship. And I

1821
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,760
Speaker 3: don't think he wants to have it in the way

1822
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 3: it ended with his inability to get that shot off.

1823
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 3: And it just seems to me, and your points are

1824
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 3: duly noted. Who knows when your emotional drain like that

1825
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 3: and you're thirty eight years old and you play sixty

1826
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 3: five thousand minutes. I can't put myself in that position

1827
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 3: because you don't know how you're gonna feel. But it

1828
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 3: just felt to me that maybe the comments weren't that

1829
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 3: well thought out.

1830
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 2: They were they were spurt of the moment.

1831
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,240
Speaker 3: What do you expect to have Let's assume he's not

1832
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 3: gonna retire. Do you expect Lebron to be with the Lakers?

1833
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 3: Could you see the unthinkable where he ends up in

1834
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 3: Golden State something like that?

1835
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 5: Absolutely not, that's totally ridiculous. That's that's not happening at all.

1836
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 5: He's gonna end his career at the Lakers. His son

1837
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 5: is going to USC So if he has designs of

1838
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 5: them playing together, we'll see if that disusses itself out.

1839
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 5: But for at least this next upcoming season, he's not

1840
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 5: playing in another uniform other than the Lakers.

1841
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 2: Now we're in a we're in agreement there on that Kivin.

1842
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 2: All right, Ethan, Well, first of all, what are your

1843
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,360
Speaker 2: thoughts about the comments at the at the end of

1844
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:49,719
Speaker 2: the game.

1845
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 9: I think this is what he's gonna do for the

1846
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 9: next couple of years. I think he's got two more

1847
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:59,320
Speaker 9: years to play, you know, his one more year, and

1848
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 9: then when it's when Brownie comes to the league. I

1849
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 9: just think that this is just him starting drama. I

1850
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 9: don't think he's actually legit about his comments after the game,

1851
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:15,719
Speaker 9: like you guys are saying, it's very emotional for him.

1852
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:19,519
Speaker 9: It's kind of annoying in my opinion. I think it's like,

1853
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 9: we don't need all this extra drama, Like why can

1854
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 9: we not just enjoy the Nuggets win, Like that's what

1855
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:27,679
Speaker 9: a lot of people. That was a storyline a lot

1856
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:31,680
Speaker 9: this week. So that's just my opinion on that whole thing.

1857
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 2: It felt a little self serving. But let's go back

1858
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:38,759
Speaker 2: to the Bronni angle, Kevin. Let's start with you. Let's say, Bronnie,

1859
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 2: you know he's gonna play at SC next year. I've

1860
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 2: seen him play a lot. He's a good player, but

1861
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 2: he's more of a complimentary player. I'm not sure if.

1862
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 3: He's a draft choice yet, but for Lebron to play

1863
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 3: with his son in the next two years or even

1864
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 3: three years. If it's not in La, it's got to

1865
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 3: be somewhere else. How do you see that potentially playing

1866
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 3: out Kevin.

1867
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 5: Well, it could work in their favor as of right now,

1868
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 5: when who knows how he's going to end up playing

1869
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 5: at USC But to your point, more of a role player,

1870
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 5: seen as kind of a three and D type of guy.

1871
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:08,759
Speaker 6: The projections I've.

1872
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,719
Speaker 5: Seen so far and it's super early for next year's

1873
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 5: draft is him being somewhere around a middle second round pick,

1874
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 5: which that's gettable. If you're a team like the Lakers

1875
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 5: and you have designs of being a competitive team and

1876
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 5: a championship level team going into next season, you could

1877
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 5: find a way to buy a draft pick or find

1878
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 5: a way to move your maneuver yourself around in the

1879
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 5: draft to make that happen. So it's not so unrealistic

1880
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,879
Speaker 5: because Bronni, at least as of now, is not considered

1881
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 5: to be a top level prospect.

1882
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 2: But if he ends up somewhere else other than the Lakers,

1883
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 2: and what does Lebron do.

1884
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 6: Then well that's a good question. I don't know.

1885
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 5: I don't think Lebron forces himself to be traded to

1886
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 5: the Wizards or something, you know what I mean, if

1887
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 5: Bronni gets drafted there.

1888
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 6: So look, I think that's his goal. His stated goal

1889
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 6: is to do that.

1890
01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 5: And there was another interview that Lebron did a few

1891
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,760
Speaker 5: weeks ago, I forget exactly who it was with kind

1892
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 5: of softened his stance a little bit on playing with

1893
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 5: Bronni and says like, this is this is my dream.

1894
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:03,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's his son.

1895
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 5: So just the fact that he acknowledged that point, I

1896
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,880
Speaker 5: think he recognizes just how difficult it is to sort

1897
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 5: of set something like that up.

1898
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 6: So I think he.

1899
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 5: Would love to be able to play with Bronni, But

1900
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,800
Speaker 5: ultimately if it doesn't happen, I think he's kind of

1901
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 5: come to terms with that part too.

1902
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 3: You think those comments were genuine, Well, look, look at

1903
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:22,720
Speaker 3: the genuine part.

1904
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 6: Is he know he wants to play.

1905
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 5: But I do think at a certain point, you want

1906
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 5: to do what's best for your kids too, So I

1907
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 5: do think that part of his genuine I do think

1908
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 5: he cares deeply about his children and their outlooks and

1909
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 5: their lives and their futures. So I don't think he

1910
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,519
Speaker 5: wants to do anything to potentially harm that if he

1911
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 5: can avoid it.

1912
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I was rude for the story.

1913
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 3: I think seeing Lebron and his son on the court

1914
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 3: at the same time would be amazing.

1915
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 2: And I speak from experience.

1916
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 3: I saw Gordie Howe with the Hartford Whalers play with

1917
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 3: his sons Mark and Marty. I saw Ken Griffy Junior

1918
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 3: and Ken Graffy Senior play together. In fact, they both

1919
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 3: even had a home runs right. So for this to happen,

1920
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,719
Speaker 3: don't underestimate how widely popular that would be. For people

1921
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:04,599
Speaker 3: to see. That would be an incredible accomplishment. Obviously, he's

1922
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 3: never happened in the NFL before. I can't envision it

1923
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 3: never happening in the NFL. I mean, I have never

1924
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 3: happened in the NBA before. But I don't think that's

1925
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 3: I think that's a dream that's gonna die hard. I

1926
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 3: think Lebron will move having on Earth to make that happen.

1927
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 3: My guy tells me Lebron LEBRONI sees basketball in his future.

1928
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what his ceiling is.

1929
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. I saw Lebron play in high school.

1930
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 3: I was in Detroit. Was Cbsrie that I drove down.

1931
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 3: I didn't cover the game in any official you know capacity,

1932
01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 3: I just took the two hour drive to Saint Vincent,

1933
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 3: Saint Mary's March of BO three. He takes the floor

1934
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,120
Speaker 3: and the first thing and we didn't know a lot.

1935
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 3: I didn't know a lot to energy. It's the only

1936
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 3: what I was told.

1937
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 2: He takes the floor.

1938
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 3: I said, Wow, this guy's got an NBA body. It's

1939
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 3: the first thing I noticed that he's bringing the ball

1940
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 3: up Beflore. But wow, he's got guard skills and he's

1941
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 3: got guard vision. And then the third thing was is

1942
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:55,559
Speaker 3: I said, wow, he's he's he can do anything he wants,

1943
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 3: but he chooses to be a complimentary player.

1944
01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 9: I go.

1945
01:37:57,760 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 3: I remember walking, I remember walking to my car thinking,

1946
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 3: I think you could put this guy in an NBA

1947
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 3: game right now and he'd be fine. And sure enough,

1948
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 3: six eight months later, he was I don't see that

1949
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 3: in Bronnie yet. So we'll see what the ceiling is.

1950
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 3: But we're in agreement that he'll be most likely with

1951
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 3: the Lakers next year. I think it's one hundred percent. Ethan,

1952
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 3: you got the last word on this. Where's he gonna

1953
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:17,680
Speaker 3: be next year?

1954
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna be with the Lakers.

1955
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 9: He's got his life here, he's got his family here,

1956
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 9: his business, everything.

1957
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 8: There's no reason he's gonna.

1958
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 2: Leave, right and his son's going to USC.

1959
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 3: He's not going to Ohio State, he's not going to Oregon,

1960
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 3: he's not going to any other school. So if he

1961
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 3: plays with Brownie, he's gonna be LA or somewhere else.

1962
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen there.

1963
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with probably LA if it's gonna be

1964
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 9: a second round, late first round pick, because the Lakers

1965
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 9: are gonna be able to get that.

1966
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 3: I'll see you and I from what I've seen, I'm

1967
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 3: not one hundred percent sure he's even I mean, the

1968
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 3: NBA is an international sport. Players come from everywhere. It

1969
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 3: blows me away how many tremendously good players are around

1970
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 3: the world. And I'm not You know, Brian's a good player,

1971
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 3: second team All League and is in the best high

1972
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 3: school league in the county this year. So that's not

1973
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 3: casting aspersions, that's just reporting what happened.

1974
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 2: But let's see how this plays.

1975
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 3: Out, because he's projectable, and now let's just see how

1976
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,559
Speaker 3: it plays out. And again, this will be a fun

1977
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 3: story to watch. Coming up a ton of stuff with

1978
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 3: Chris Perperfet's World of Soccer. We've got the EFL Championship,

1979
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,559
Speaker 3: we've got a terrible incident and involving Real Madrid, and

1980
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 3: of course, you know, Man City's always in the news,

1981
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:27,679
Speaker 3: and we'll get to that in just a second, but first,

1982
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 3: let's go back to Kevin Figure with the latest.

2002
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,719
Speaker 5: last five. They beat the Yankees five to one, Yondi

2003
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 5: Dias a home run for the Rays, who defeated the

2004
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 5: Dodgers nine to three.

2005
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 6: Back to Bernie Freddo.

2006
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 2: There it is the patent and Mollywop yes, sir, all right,

2007
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 2: good job. Then I'm Kevin.

2008
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:34,759
Speaker 6: Thanks Bernie, all right?

2009
01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 3: What's his significance of Coventry versus Louton Town seven hours away?

2010
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 3: You're gonna find out coming up. And Chris pfets World

2011
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:43,840
Speaker 3: of Soccer.

2012
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 1: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes the international drama too. Yi,

2013
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: it's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2014
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 3: So, Chris, we have a tendency, I think to underestimate

2015
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:13,879
Speaker 3: the true revenue worldwide in championship soccer, as much evidenced

2016
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 3: by the EFL Championship Game seven hours from now between

2017
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 3: Coventry and Luton Tone.

2018
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:22,880
Speaker 10: That's right, Bernie. Yeah, so this is the EFL Championship

2019
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 10: playoff game here. Newtontown's going to be facing Coventry at

2020
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:29,879
Speaker 10: Wembley Stadium on Saturday. It's part of this final weekend

2021
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 10: here at the final weekend for the Premier League. For

2022
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 10: a lot of the lower leagues, their playoffs for final

2023
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 10: promotion spots on the line. But to go to from

2024
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 10: the EFL Championship, the second tier of English soccer, to

2025
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 10: the Premier League comes with enormous stakes. It is known

2026
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:49,600
Speaker 10: as the richest game in football, and it earned this reputation, Bernie,

2027
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 10: because the team who wins this game and goes to

2028
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 10: the Premier League is set to earn at least one

2029
01:41:56,080 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 10: hundred and seventy million pounds ten million US dollars in

2030
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 10: additional revenue across the next three seasons, one hundred and

2031
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 10: twenty million of that coming from the Premier League's broadcast

2032
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:11,640
Speaker 10: revenues next year, and then if they get relegated after that,

2033
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,599
Speaker 10: they'll get about seventy eighty million dollars in what are

2034
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:17,599
Speaker 10: known as parachute payments. These are payments made to clubs

2035
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 10: who get relegated to try to help them ease that

2036
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,760
Speaker 10: sudden loss of Premier League broadcast revenue when they go

2037
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:28,040
Speaker 10: down to the championships. But if they stay up, if

2038
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 10: they remain in the Premier League, that financial uplift could

2039
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 10: go up to about three hundred and sixty million US

2040
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 10: dollars a third of a billion to a club just

2041
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,679
Speaker 10: by staying in the top tier league. That is really

2042
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:43,640
Speaker 10: I can't think of anything better that is defining to

2043
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:47,120
Speaker 10: have and have nots right now of soccer in England.

2044
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:49,719
Speaker 10: It's to say that we are putting that much money

2045
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 10: on the line for just winning a single game. I

2046
01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 10: don't think there's any game in the US that carries

2047
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:55,520
Speaker 10: that kind of paycheck.

2048
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 9: No.

2049
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, ESPN has gone on red

2050
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,160
Speaker 3: are who saying, well, one writer for ESPN that he

2051
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 3: believes the EFL Championship playoff is the best event in sports.

2052
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is.

2053
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 10: It is a chance to redefine your entire legacy. It's

2054
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 10: hard to stay up in the Premier League, but for

2055
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 10: a lot of these clubs, even just getting towards the

2056
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 10: Premier League is a is a victory in itself. Life's

2057
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 10: pretty hard sometimes the ESL. It's easy to fall down

2058
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 10: the ladder even further for the right club.

2059
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 4: But if you're.

2060
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 10: Contending in the championships, if you're making those playoffs and

2061
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,160
Speaker 10: something's good is going for you. It's not the best

2062
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 10: in the world, like you're not winning promotion out right,

2063
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 10: you're not the number one spot. But if you're like

2064
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 10: two to six, you have a chance to really set

2065
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 10: your fate over the course about two or three matches,

2066
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 10: and as I said, you know set your club up

2067
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 10: for a huge financial windfall that can pretty much, you know,

2068
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 10: change fates overnight, up end contracts and really really make

2069
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 10: some people rich.

2070
01:43:58,120 --> 01:43:59,919
Speaker 2: And Sunday Mighty could be more exciting.

2071
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,480
Speaker 3: It's the final day for the Premier League and squads

2072
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 3: like Everton and Leeds and Leicester are all finding themselves

2073
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 3: in pivotal positions.

2074
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:11,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, so the top the top of the table is

2075
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 10: pretty much set. Manchester City won it this week and

2076
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 10: I will I think we've discussed them at NOUS and

2077
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 10: we'll have our Sunday spot on Manchester City on the

2078
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 10: season they had. I think that's to the top. It's

2079
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:26,599
Speaker 10: more about what happened with Arsenal, but the best season

2080
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 10: we've seen out of Arsenal in a long time and like,

2081
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,679
Speaker 10: look they're going to finish second. They had some injuries

2082
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:34,799
Speaker 10: down down the stretch. They come up at eight point,

2083
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 10: you know, eight or so points short of the top

2084
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 10: of this table. I think, you know, give it up

2085
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 10: for them though, and that Mikhail Arted has really made

2086
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 10: Arsenal a force to be reckoned with again. They're big

2087
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 10: starboy off the soaka. He just signed a longer term

2088
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 10: contract with them, which is going, which is fantastic. He

2089
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 10: was I believe he's assist leader. They're assist leader on

2090
01:44:57,400 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 10: the year and Martin Odagard the their goal their league

2091
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 10: goal scorers and tasting as well. They are set up

2092
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 10: very well for this transfer window to keep adding pieces

2093
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 10: and just you know, if it was any other team

2094
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 10: but Manchester City they had to compete against, Arsenal would

2095
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:16,560
Speaker 10: have this title. For relegation different story. Southampton is already relegated,

2096
01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 10: but it's going to come down to three clubs. See

2097
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 10: who can survive Everton. Right now two points clear, but

2098
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,599
Speaker 10: on this final game Lester, they are so far ahead

2099
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 10: and the goal differential. All they need is to win

2100
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:33,559
Speaker 10: and then Everton to I believe higher lose and they'll

2101
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 10: be clear of relegation leads. However, in a tougher spot,

2102
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 10: they need both Lester and Everton to both lose straight

2103
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 10: out Everton, you just need a couple. You just need

2104
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 10: to just win and you stay up, which I don't know.

2105
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 10: This feels like the second year we've done this, where

2106
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 10: Everton fans are going to storm the pitch if they win,

2107
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 10: celebrating not getting kicked out of the Premier League.

2108
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,759
Speaker 3: And let's not forget the Bundesliga League, a German league.

2109
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:02,560
Speaker 3: They have a very busy schedule on Saturday.

2110
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,679
Speaker 10: As well, coming coming down to the final day. Yeah,

2111
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 10: it is as we've talked about this before and in

2112
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 10: past editions, Burnie neck and neck here only a single

2113
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 10: point still separating them. I think I believe Dortmund has

2114
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 10: taken the lead. So all they need to do is win,

2115
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 10: and they will hold and they will end Byron Munich's

2116
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 10: long long what do you call it rain over the

2117
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 10: German league. It's a lead that Munich is held on.

2118
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 10: To excuse me, Dohrtmann's two points clear. So all they

2119
01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 10: need to win. All they need to do to win

2120
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:42,559
Speaker 10: this is just just win their game. Munich a little

2121
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:44,680
Speaker 10: tougher they need for Dartmann to lose out, They're going

2122
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 10: to need some help. But the final day is going

2123
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 10: to be unbelievably exciting. Usually Byron Munich is cleaning up

2124
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 10: this league very handily.

2125
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:57,679
Speaker 3: So our final story, which is a very unfortunate story

2126
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 3: report involves Spain. This is not new for Spain and

2127
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:05,679
Speaker 3: a player named Venetius Junior who has been the brunt

2128
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 3: of something no one should ever have to endure. Chris,

2129
01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:10,759
Speaker 3: tell the folks what happened?

2130
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is this is this comes up. It feels

2131
01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 10: like on the rag when it comes to Europe sometimes

2132
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:18,960
Speaker 10: and it's probably the most unfortunate thing about the sport

2133
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 10: right now. Vanisius Junior, who is Brazilian for a fantastic

2134
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,639
Speaker 10: player for Real Madrid, had to endure chance and and

2135
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 10: mocks from a Valencian crowd this past week, you know,

2136
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 10: calling him, calling him animal names that you know, just

2137
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:39,479
Speaker 10: just blatant, blatant, low, just in your face racism. That

2138
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 10: seems to be the hallmark a lot of times for

2139
01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:47,960
Speaker 10: black players who play in Spain and Italy as well.

2140
01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 10: Sometimes really, no no country in Europe is really immune

2141
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 10: for this, but it gets really frustrating when it's La Liga,

2142
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,320
Speaker 10: when it's Spain League, because in a lot of cases

2143
01:47:57,320 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 10: they just kind of throw up their hands and say, well,

2144
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:02,639
Speaker 10: we can't really do anything about it. The La Ligue

2145
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:04,760
Speaker 10: has already told people they don't have the authority to

2146
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 10: impose punishments on clubs or fans and said they have

2147
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 10: to pass along investigations the incidents to local prosecutors who

2148
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 10: deal with them as local cases. Now that has resulted

2149
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,600
Speaker 10: right now, and I believe seven arrests. But this was

2150
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 10: the tenth reported incident of racist abuse aimed at Venesius,

2151
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,559
Speaker 10: the tenth. It took ten incidents like this for finally

2152
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 10: people to stand up, and the reverberation across the soccer

2153
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:37,000
Speaker 10: world has been tremendous. A lot of people across different leagues, coaches, managers,

2154
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 10: players are all standing up, but it feels like the

2155
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 10: song and dance we've done over and over again, and

2156
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 10: it gets exhausting. Sometimes players will come out, they'll have

2157
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 10: up a nice sign to say say no to racism,

2158
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 10: rate kick racism out, and that's good, but at some

2159
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 10: point there needs to actually be some meaningful action here.

2160
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,320
Speaker 10: Vnissia's junior, like there was a rumor that his cams

2161
01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 10: was telling Real Madrid that he wants to transfer out.

2162
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 10: Now I know he just did not play in Spain.

2163
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 10: Now I know that was shot down. He's committed to

2164
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 10: Real Madrid. But it just shows you and what kind

2165
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 10: of stakes are on the line. And I know feet

2166
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:13,840
Speaker 10: but in the past it usually comes down to their

2167
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 10: sponsors leaning hard on them. You know, Lisa doesn't want

2168
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 10: to be associated with this kind of stuff, Coca Cola

2169
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 10: doesn't want to be associated this kind of stuff. There's

2170
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 10: big money involved, and really, you know, if the leads

2171
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:26,840
Speaker 10: won't do anything, then unfortunately, it has to fall the

2172
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:30,240
Speaker 10: clubs to really, you know, have the communication with their

2173
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 10: supporter groups, which are well organized, and tell them, look, guys,

2174
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 10: you need to reel this in. You need to real

2175
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 10: this in, and you're going to screw up a lot

2176
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 10: of stuff. Games get played behind closed doors do to

2177
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 10: racism all the time, but it just doesn't feel like

2178
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 10: it's really having an impact. And I just I really

2179
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:48,800
Speaker 10: hope out of this incident we actually see some real

2180
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 10: change to hold fans accountable to their kind of behavior,

2181
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 10: because it just completely dirties the world game with its

2182
01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:57,559
Speaker 10: ta behavior.

2183
01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 2: Well, and I would.

2184
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,719
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, when hold my breath, there's talk of the league

2185
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:02,679
Speaker 3: losing sponsorships up to ten lane.

2186
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 2: That's a drop in the bucket to those knuckleheads. That's

2187
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 2: the point.

2188
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 10: No, And I like it feels rough too, because again,

2189
01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 10: like you look at Barcelona, who just finally embraced a

2190
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 10: shirt sponsor for the first time in Spotify and put

2191
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 10: their name on the stadium and everything. There's money coming

2192
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 10: to Laaliga. Becau's one of the biggest leagues in the world.

2193
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 10: It features two of the biggest clubs in the world

2194
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:25,880
Speaker 10: in Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Valencia and Athletico and

2195
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 10: all the rest are are indulging at large US as well.

2196
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 10: But it just it feels exhausting. It feels exhausting, just

2197
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,439
Speaker 10: like it feels exhausting to deal with the insane fans

2198
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:38,800
Speaker 10: of like the Italian club of Lazio or something that

2199
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 10: there's just these ugly corners of European soccer that no

2200
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:45,280
Speaker 10: matter what we do, we just can't seem to kick

2201
01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 10: this out.

2202
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:49,679
Speaker 3: Like you said, it dirty's up. The international game cast

2203
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:51,920
Speaker 3: it in the very unfavorable light. All right, good stuff, Chris,

2204
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 3: we'll get your back Saturday night. More World of Soccer

2205
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 3: after a very busy soccer Saturday.

2206
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 10: Have a good one, Bernie.

2207
01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 3: All right, thanks, It's Christopher Fetz. World of Soccer coming up.

2208
01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:07,120
Speaker 3: Could the Boston Celtics make history? Their position to do it,

2209
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 3: but they still got to do it? And history suggest

2210
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 3: they own although there may be a path here. We'll

2211
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:15,800
Speaker 3: talk about it next as we wrap up The Bernie

2212
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 3: Frattle Show. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Comedy live from the Las

2213
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 3: Vegas Fox Sports Radio tire Act dot Com studios.

2214
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 2: Don't go away.

2215
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2216
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 3: Kurt Schilling and the Bloody Sock. They came back from

2217
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 3: a three nothing deficit to not only beat Yankees, but

2218
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:34,599
Speaker 3: beat the Yankees but Sweet Saint Louis in the World Series.

2219
01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:39,439
Speaker 3: And Kevin Millar was taking his pregame infield and he said,

2220
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:41,160
Speaker 3: don't let us get one tonight when they were down

2221
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 3: three to zero and the rest is history. And then

2222
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,559
Speaker 3: let's not forget the Patriots in Super Bowl fifty one.

2223
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 3: They were down twenty eight to three to Atlanta and

2224
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 3: you know what happened there. So, as I said, the

2225
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 3: twenty three Celtics haven't done it.

2226
01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:55,040
Speaker 2: Yet.

2227
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:59,519
Speaker 3: But after a very impressive thirteen point win Thursday night

2228
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:02,679
Speaker 3: over the Heat, it feels like there is a path now,

2229
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 3: and if we're being honest, all this team, this twenty

2230
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 3: three Celtic team to twenty twenty three, might be the

2231
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 3: most qualified to do it of all the teams I've tried,

2232
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 3: because even the three that were that forced the game

2233
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:23,240
Speaker 3: seven after being DOWNZH three, they were lesser seeds playing

2234
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 3: by all objective measures, better teams.

2235
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 2: But that's not really the case here by most metrics.

2236
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:32,599
Speaker 3: You know, I feel about analytics, Okay, analytics, I believe

2237
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 3: they have a place. I believe they are and they

2238
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 3: are a guideline. They're not an inflexible anchor. Analytics till

2239
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 3: they tell you what happened yesterday, not gonna tell you

2240
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:42,839
Speaker 3: what happened tomorrow.

2241
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 2: But be that as it may. Boston is the higher seed.

2242
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 2: They've posted two convincing double digit victories since going down

2243
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,519
Speaker 2: three to nothing last night's game, or checked that Thursday

2244
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,599
Speaker 2: Night's game was never in jeopardy. In fact, the Heat

2245
01:52:56,680 --> 01:52:57,640
Speaker 2: really realized.

2246
01:52:57,280 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 3: That by the time they got to the fourth quarter

2247
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 3: they were not gonna overcome the hum So what do

2248
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 3: they do? They rested, their starters in the fourth quarter

2249
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 3: because the game was out a nd all of a sudden.

2250
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum looks like himself again. Jalen Brown, he found

2251
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 3: his stroke. He's like the tower of power in Oakland. Baby,

2252
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:17,120
Speaker 3: they found their stroke. Derek White twenty four points, six

2253
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:19,760
Speaker 3: of eight from behind the ar. If those three are

2254
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 3: filling up the nets Sunday check that Saturday night, then

2255
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 3: Miami might want to get a little nervous. We might

2256
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 3: be headed back to Boston Game six Saturday night, eight

2257
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:33,960
Speaker 3: thirty Eastern, and the Celtics were favored by two and

2258
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:36,280
Speaker 3: a half points on the road. This is good stuff,

2259
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:37,799
Speaker 3: So the heats starting to feel nervous.

2260
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.

2261
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 3: The key is whether or not Boston will make their threes.

2262
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 3: If Brown, White, Marcus Spart, Marcus Smart, and of course

2263
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:54,280
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum do what they did before, it's gonna Miami

2264
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:56,880
Speaker 3: has less margin and victory Miami.

2265
01:53:57,080 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, and they've done a hell of a

2266
01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 2: job this year if you look.

2267
01:54:00,280 --> 01:54:03,439
Speaker 3: At them objectively, I mean, they were under five hundred

2268
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 3: on Christmas Day, they were what in seventh place around

2269
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:08,200
Speaker 3: the All Star break.

2270
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:09,599
Speaker 2: They had to get to the playing game.

2271
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:11,599
Speaker 3: They lost to Chicago and look where they're at now

2272
01:54:11,880 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 3: won an accomplishment.

2273
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:16,160
Speaker 2: But what's my point? The Heat they have to they

2274
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 2: basically to have everything go right.

2275
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:20,560
Speaker 3: If they're gonna win this game. They can't turn the

2276
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 3: ball over sixteen times like they did Thursday. The rebounding

2277
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:28,200
Speaker 3: margin was about the same, but the Heat only had

2278
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:32,000
Speaker 3: seven second chance points. Boston had seventeen second chance points.

2279
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 3: That's desire And the truth of the matter is Miami

2280
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 3: didn't really get their second chance points until the fourth

2281
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:42,440
Speaker 3: quarter after the game was decided. And by the way,

2282
01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 3: one last thing, you really can't discount the Celtics defense either.

2283
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 3: Boston's now held Miami under one hundred points in two

2284
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 3: consecutive games. That doesn't happen. You got to give Joe

2285
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 3: mazool a lot of credit. It's been a real up

2286
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 3: and down narrative from him in the postseason. It's been

2287
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 3: a crazy year. Boston fans want them to clean out

2288
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:02,120
Speaker 3: his office. They wanted Nick Nurse, they wanted to Mike Boozenholzer.

2289
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 3: There was even talking doc rivers, Are you kidding me?

2290
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:07,760
Speaker 2: So? Who's gonna take care of business Saturday night?

2291
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 3: Either way, we are going to have a story when

2292
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 3: you wake up Sunday morning.

2293
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 2: Will there be a Game seven?

2294
01:55:13,120 --> 01:55:16,839
Speaker 3: Or Old Miami as an eight seed enter the Promised

2295
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 3: Land against a Denver team who's waiting and resting. It's

2296
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 3: gonna do it for the Bernie Frattle Show back on

2297
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:24,120
