Speaker 1: rolling to the final four to the NCAA Championship and

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: what we talked about this last week might wind up

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: being the most dominant year ever in the history of

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: college basketball. Apparently we were the jinks. Yukon goes down

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to South Carolina, right, not incredibly surprising, but surprising because

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: of the level of play Yukon had been at for

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: this entire tournament. Well, you look at the fifty four

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: game winning streak right, game one game decided Double Ditch

29
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: is thirty six points average margin of victory, fourth longest

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: tide streak in the history of this game.

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: And then they got beat up, and.

32
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: What happened today turned into and I'm get close to

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: the radio turned into the most absolute sweetest victory for

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Dawn Staley and South Carolina and the absolute worst nightmare

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: for Gino Oriema and Yukon.

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: Not just because.

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Yukon lost this game in South Carolina pulled away late

38
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: to win sixty two forty eight, but because of what

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: you can hear about what's been going on after the game,

40
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: which is such delicious theater. I feel if this was

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: a dessert, it would be like one of those places

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: you go to where it's like, yeah, it's the biggest

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: piece of chocolate cake you've ever gotten. It's a forty

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: five layer piece of chocolate cake. Yeah, let's dig in

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: man rates. But let me just say this first thing

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: about the game. It was not a great game. It

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: was not a great game to watch. It wasn't fun.

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: It was physical. There were not a lot of shots

49
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: being made by either team. Look when when your best

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: players at Yukon, when your two best players go seven

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: to thirty one from the floor, you're not gonna win games, right.

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: So it wasn't a great game. It wasn't one of

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: those artistic games. And you think about, boy, look at

54
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: this game. Caitlin Clark had look at this game the

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Camilla card so had You're not going to get that, right.

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: We didn't get that. It wasn't a great game. It

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: was physical. Frustrating as hell for Yukon, obviously, because they

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: thought that Gino the way he's talking the last few

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: days of all the different things, oh yeah yeah. Look,

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: once a year Gino Oriema gets the spotlight during the

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament. He talks about the things he hates the

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: most about college basketball. Why are we doing this whole

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: location thing. Okay, that's great practice times everything else. I mean,

64
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: you're advocating, but at the same time you come off

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: as well, like today whining this is my time. But

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: now this is such a disaster for Connecticut because of

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: what happened at the end of the game. Now here's

68
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: the play by play of the end of the game.

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: Now this is clock ticking down. It's over sixty two

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: forty eight is your final call. The game's on ESPN,

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: and the final call is our play of the day.

72
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: Brought to you by tire Racks.

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find the

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: fast and free backed by free Road, has a protection

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: with conveniences like mobile tire installation. Tirerac dot Com is

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: the way tire buying should be. So the coaches are

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna shake hands like they normally do. Two of the

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: biggest coaches in the sport, Don Stanley, Gino Oriema. And

80
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: this is how the postgame handshake goes. The one final

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: inbound here the officials will hold the players.

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: Now Don and Gino getting into it a little bit

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: on the sideline.

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: As Gino has to be held back and Don and Gino.

85
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: That's part of what makes this rivalry.

86
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Such a compelling one as.

87
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: They exchanged words at center court.

88
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Gino Gino, it's Gino, Gino, Gina.

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: Not happy with what went on.

90
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: At some point, you're gonna hear from Gino Ramono was

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: not happy how the game was officiated. But before that,

92
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: this is where we start. The handshake was frosty. Wasn't

93
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: really a handshake. They went, we walked over to each

94
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: other and right away they started going at it. If

95
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: I could read Don Staley's lips, it looked like Don

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Staley said, Gino, I shook your hand. What are you

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: talking about now? Apparently after the game, Gino Oriema said

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: that Don Staley didn't shake his hand before the game

99
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: and that was something that probably he stowed.

100
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: On the whole game. The game didn't go his way, and.

101
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: That's probably what was at the crux of that frosty

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: near fight at half court following the game. So how

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: do we know that it might be about the handshake? Well, yeah,

104
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: it's not just me about reading Don Staley's lips. This

105
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: is down Staley just a couple of minutes after doing

106
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: her on court interview with Holly Row where she said, well,

107
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: this is what I think was the reason why Gino

108
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: and I went back and forth at the end of

109
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: the game.

110
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: What's wrong on the sideline right now?

111
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I'm gonna let you know this.

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: I'm of integrity. I'm love integrity. So if I did.

113
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: Something wrong to Gino, I had no idea what I did.

114
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 4: I guess he thought out didn't shake his hand at

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: the beginning of the game. I didn't know.

116
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: I went down there at pre game shot everybody on

117
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: his staffs hand.

118
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: I don't know why he can look after the game. Hey,

119
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: sometimes days get heated. We move on.

120
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Check out captain, unger, captain over, captain over overdone. Technically

121
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 1: I was under unger and you were overdone. I believe

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: I was under over and you were overdone. No, I

123
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: believe I was over over and you were under. So

124
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: check the vector victor and keep going on down the line. Yes,

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: So this is what we're looking at as the reason

126
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: potentially behind all of this. Now, this is why this

127
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: is beyond way beyond the box score, beyond the final score.

128
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: It's such a sweet victory for don Staley's gonna look

129
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: back at her career and they're gonna say, what were

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: what do you remember? And she's gonna remember this because

131
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: you just watch an absolute legendary coach lose his mind

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: in losing his perfect season, losing everything, losing a season

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: where you thought they were gonna steamroll the national title

134
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: because you beat them and it's not a national championship game.

135
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: And Dawn Stelley knows a thing or too about winning

136
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: national titles. But this has got to be such a

137
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: sweet moment because Gino, who is incredibly polarizing, incredibly polarizing.

138
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: You can love and hate him on different days. Right

139
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: There's days I see Gino talking, I love the guy.

140
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: And there's days I see Gino Orienta talking, I go,

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing?

142
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: Man like?

143
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: He is absolutely polarizing from day to day. Dawn Staley

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: has carried herself publicly with nothing but class. For the obviously,

145
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: do I know everything about her life, No, but publicly

146
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: and what she's done on the court, she is viewed

147
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: very classy. She's always carried herself very classy. When they

148
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: won last year or two years ago, when she thanked

149
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark for bringing the attention to college basketball. That's

150
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: an easy thing to do when you win, and then

151
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I get that, but still to take a moment where

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: we win and acknowledge her and what she's done for

153
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: the sport. That's a pretty classy move. And so this

154
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: she's gonna come out nothings smelling like a rose on

155
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: this and Gino's gonna come out look at you are

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: bitter and you lost your mind at the end of

157
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: the game because you lost a game like that. You're

158
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be better than this. And that's all that's

159
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna happen for ginal Orima in the next twenty four

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: to forty one. When you read your press clippings for

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: a while, you're getting ready for the next era of dominance. Right,

162
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: because we remember when we you and I were first

163
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: getting together on air. It's national title. It's national title,

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: it's national title for Yukon. Right, we had Stewie on

165
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: what twice like the current caravan or the most decorated

166
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: collegiate athletes to work with us here at Fox Sports Radio.

167
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: But you're talking about all of those run and then

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: now you're talking about a series of near misses, a

169
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: bunch of final fours, but not getting over last year

170
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: they get the title here, they're running rough shot over everybody.

171
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be easy, and then all of a sudden

172
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: you got punched in the mouth repeatedly. And someone will

173
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: have the subruder film from the pregame. Hey, do we

174
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: have any of the b roll on what was going on?

175
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: You know when they were shaking hands before everything got gone?

176
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: Because when they met up, what was it at the

177
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: point one second right that last inbound and they had

178
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: their little exchange. The lip reading from the Geno side

179
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: of it looked like, oh now you can shake my

180
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: hand right good before kind of thing. So exacerbating that,

181
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: and we'll get into his meltdown in game when he

182
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: met with Holly Row and the look on her face

183
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: as he just starts railing and cursing and whatever else.

184
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: But for for Don Stale, I mean six straight final fours,

185
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: you talk about, you know, the way this and style

186
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: that they play with, the consistency they play with, the

187
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: way players that have gone through that program and have

188
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: worked with her speak about her. Not that Gino doesn't

189
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: have a million of those, right, remember it does? You

190
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: know the end of Page Becker's run and everything else.

191
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: I mean some of those.

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Women's college basketball But let's understand he's done that.

193
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: Oh of course when he's a bad summit.

194
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: And now you know, Dawn Staley's saying, I've got this

195
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: seat at the table and we're running running here. But

196
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: for Gino, yeah, this is the Southwest Airlines. The old

197
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: ads have want to get away moments because everything you'd done,

198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: everything you had done, and everything you'd built. Now I'm

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: seeing him Ai baby Gino running across the internet now

200
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: after his tie rades and every time, you know, he

201
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: looked like Carl Fredrickson from up he would get frustrated

202
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: with Russell. Did someone find a snipe under his house?

203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Found a snipe under your house? Hello, my name is Russell.

204
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: You lost to South Carolina. Your two best players went

205
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: seven for thirty one from the floor. I found a

206
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: snipe under your house. Yeah, but the adventure is out there, right,

207
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: But I mean, but this is this is the one

208
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: of those times where you go, someone who has built

209
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: a thirty plus year career is seeing so much of

210
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: that good be undone by one moment one game and

211
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: his behavior because it's ridiculous, right, it's this is this

212
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: is not a guy that's coached one game and as

213
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, figure things out, he's a rookie coach and

214
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how things go, like just the fact

215
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: to melt down like that when Okay, yeah, I know

216
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: that you are the big favorite, but you've won big games,

217
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: you've lost big games. You're supposed to be a better

218
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: pro than that. You're supposed to be better than that.

219
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: And there's nothing that will tell you about this, even

220
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: more than Gino's own words, because you know, he was

221
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: cooking against Dawn Staley during the game because he was

222
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: not happy with the way the game was being officiated.

223
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Here's his interview with Holly Row after the third quarter,

224
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: in which Gino just lets loose on everyone that's to

225
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: blame for Yukon falling behind and potentially losing this game.

226
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: Well, coach, a kind of wild turn of events.

227
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Sarah Strong's jersey is split right down the middle.

228
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: I saw you speaking to the reps about it. What

229
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: the message did you try to convey?

230
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: You're right, there were six pounds called that quarter, all

231
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: of them against us, out of our guys down already. Yeah,

232
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: I'm not making excuses because.

233
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 4: We haven't been able to make a shot, but this

234
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: is ridiculous.

235
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Coach Ransom raves on the sideline and calls her the

236
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: referee some names you don't want to hear. And now

237
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: when we get six to zero and I got a

238
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: kid with a rip jersey and they go, I didn't

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: see it.

240
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: Come on, man, National.

241
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: Championship, GINO.

242
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Just want to let you know there's a lot of

243
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: video out there of Sarah Strong ripping her own jersey

244
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: in frustration and she had to change and put a

245
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: new jersey on because you can't play the rip jersey.

246
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: There's video of her ripping the jersey herself, just so

247
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: you know, oh yeah, yeah, rip jersey. And oh, by

248
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: the way, you cursed Holly Row, Gino, Come on, man,

249
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: you can't curse at Holly Row like that, you kid.

250
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I could, come on, man, that's rights.

251
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard any with anybody say anything unkind

252
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: about Holly Row Or is held up on the highest

253
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: of levels in our business, and there Holly Row is

254
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: the Dawn Stanley of Sideline with Sarah Strong?

255
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: Did she did?

256
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: She cut it a little so she could hold Cogan

257
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: that thing in a big moment. Hey no, I was

258
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: impressed with brother. What because now you know the yoka

259
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: the jersey is really protected.

260
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 4: Like to have to do that.

261
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: There's some hands yea than the neckline. But I mean

262
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: just to listen to him say, and the other coach

263
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: is saying, is calling the referees dames. You don't want

264
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: to hear.

265
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: Oh my virgin ears.

266
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: Dude, she's coaching, she's coaching, and if she's getting away

267
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: with it, Okay, Gina, you've never ridden the referees. You

268
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: never said stuff, you never got Like all of a sudden,

269
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: it's like, oh oh, so Dawn Staley is just completely

270
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: out of no dude, you're the one that seems like

271
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: you're out of control. Like this is a going to

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,239
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter interview where it should be okay, hey everybody,

273
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: we are one quarter away from losing everything we have

274
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: worked for. But instead, yeah, I'm doing the interview and

275
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna absolutely bash down Staley and absolutely bash the referees.

276
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: I'm like, wow, like like.

277
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: He should be better than that, right, he should be

278
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: better not to I want to tell him how to feel,

279
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: because if you don't like the way the game is

280
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: a fish because it was a little too well, yeah,

281
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, it was too rough. But again Gino says,

282
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: we couldn't make a shot, Yes, one hundred percent, right,

283
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't a two point game, wasn't a one point game.

284
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: You lost by fourteen. Your two best players were terrible.

285
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean you.

286
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: Can't cut up any more than that. But overall, I

287
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: want to say, you look like a guy that is

288
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: that you would say, hey, here's an older guy who's

289
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: losing his mind on the sideline, right, That's kind of

290
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: what he looked like. And that's a bad optic to

291
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: put out there that in the middle of the game

292
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: you lose it like that, like you're still supposed to

293
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: be coaching. I mean, I maybe at Ukon, maybe there's

294
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: some kind of stuff in the water at Yukon where hey,

295
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: the head coaches just do whatever the hell they want to.

296
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: Man, we don't care.

297
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: We just dude, we got we want to see across

298
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the lineup right, the mount rushmore going on there at LSU.

299
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: And then we had the Yukon coaches that are in

300
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: a whole other status here by himself.

301
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: You don't know what they put in the power raided stores. Man,

302
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 4: this is it's just great.

303
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, I give the squad cut right, heckele

304
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: misses that lay up down this st and she just

305
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: burst into tears like every one of the teammatesank chin up,

306
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: chin up. We had a year kind of thing. But

307
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: watching Gino lose his mind, like here's where you want

308
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: the ISO from the full forty. Yeah, but at the

309
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: end of the third quarter, like yelling like that, the

310
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: officials are suddenly gonna change the way they play.

311
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: They called the game.

312
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: You and I were talking a little bit as we're

313
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: prepping in for the show and watching some of the

314
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: replays of the post. It's like, these are like the

315
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: NFL squads where defensive backs go back a decade, legion,

316
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: a boom and all that. They're gonna see how the

317
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: officials are gonna call this game. And that's exactly what

318
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: South Carolina did. All right, we're gonna body you up.

319
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: If they're gonna call files, Okay, we'll change what we

320
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: need to. Guess what they didn't And you didn't match

321
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: the physicality and then you had wide open looks and

322
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: you missed every last.

323
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: One of them.

324
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Your star players were absolutely ineffective from pillar to post

325
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: and got and shrunk by the minute. And that end

326
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: of the third quarter. I want the shot for the

327
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: other side of what that huddle's looking at him as

328
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: he's in that interview instead of being in with them,

329
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: because I know you got your contractually obligated as part

330
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: of the broadcas that you got to do that. And

331
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've seen Gino do this before. But third quarter,

332
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: you're still in this game, right, It's not like you're

333
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: getting this isn't you know JJ Reddick after a third

334
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: quarter yesterday against OKC.

335
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: This is you're still in the midst of a game.

336
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: I think I should have taken Luca out of the game,

337
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know you think I said, But you know,

338
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: I get I get the end of game part of it.

339
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: If it's Gino saying, hey, I'll take all the arrows

340
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: because I feel bad for Sarah Strong and as He

341
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Fudd and these players who have been amazing for four

342
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: years that have their careers end like this. I'll take

343
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: the attention so they can kind of lick their wounds

344
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: privately and and and say, okay, you know, hey, this

345
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: did not end this and came to a screeching halt

346
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: for us, and how do I deal with this? And

347
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to do that so publicly all the time.

348
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: So I get that part of it. But this was

349
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: like during the game. I mean when when you're absolutely

350
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: out of control and all of a sudden, the image

351
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: and the opticcule Geno orient it's like, dude, are you okay?

352
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 5: Do you?

353
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not your first time coaching, Like

354
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: that's why this was such an epic fail for you,

355
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: because it's not just we lost a game. We were

356
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: an undefeated team. We lost a game and our coach

357
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: lost his mind and I don't know what went on

358
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: during the game, was that there's stuff that wasn't taken

359
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: care of that that maybe things would have been better

360
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: were they in the right place mentally in the second

361
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: half to be able to go through this, because you

362
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: got to player rippin her jersey and Gino's going like, hey, whoa,

363
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: someone's got to be the adult around here, because you

364
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: can't win when your emotions are completely out of control.

365
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: That way, you're missing layups, all the basic things that

366
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: you've executed all season long. And give South Carolina credit,

367
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: they beat them up and took them out of their game,

368
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: But the whole thing about being a championship squad and

369
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: the pedigree that you've shown all these years. Look, you've

370
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: lost games, right, You've lost games as a favorite seven

371
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. By the way, how do

372
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: those furniture deals work out of this, Jason, that's the question.

373
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody ever loses that furniture. And I

374
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: think no matter what happened to get a free meat

375
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: to get on, I mean, I know, obviously the books

376
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: are happy as they beat everybody. I think the people

377
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: either get the furniture or they don't spend any money,

378
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: and the guy at the furniture store either keeps the

379
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: furniture or insurance whatever money for. I think everybody win.

380
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any losers in the in the furniture.

381
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: It's a three games. It's just hear in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

382
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: and then you push up the next guy. You should

383
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: try this. It's easy exit out out of Fresca, exit

384
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: swelling down. I mean, she's won national titles, but this

385
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: is going to wind up being the sweetest win of

386
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: down Staley's career and one of the most epic fails.

387
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the biggest epic fail for Gino Orim

388
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: and Yukon, not just because they lost the game. Eight seven,

389

Speaker 1: before we get to luk at Doncicch. Yeah, we told

433
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, the the controversy with Gino orim and down.

434
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: Staley will have more on Mad coming up. Yukon loses

435
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: tonight the first semifinal game. Not a well played game,

436
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: not great television, but still, hey, South Carolina wins.

437
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 4: It was close and there was a lot of agitation,

438
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: so we all won.

439
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: The other game is at halftime right now. And that game,

440
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: this game with with UCLA. Okay, boy, how do I

441
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: say this? This is making South Carolina and Yukon look

442
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: like Duke Kentucky from ninety two and Latner. Okay, let's

443
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: see sixties forty eight. In the other game it is.

444
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: It is UCLA leading Texas twenty to seventeen at halftime.

445
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: And no, no, no, Jerry Neuheisel is not coaching this

446
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: game and they have not benched arch manning. It is

447
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen at halftime. They put up two touchdowns

448
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Oh boy did Ucla because they

449
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: started pretty strong, right It was like they got up

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: to it and like.

451
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: Wait, that's that?

452
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: What did they do?

453
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: And are like arch ran for one and through for one.

454
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: But still they trail u c l A who of

455
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: course just fired their head coach, and here comes Jerry Neweisel.

456
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Here we go combined seventeen out of fifty six. Yeah,

457
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: we need we need some We need we need something

458
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: in the second half of this cause we let's get

459
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more offense here. How about we rip

460
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: a jersey and somebody fights. I mean, at least we

461
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: get something like that. Oh my goodness, that was paint drying.

462
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: But even on the set, all they care about is

463
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: the coach is fighting. Oh yeah, this game doesn't matter.

464
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: Let's go back to that. Can we get Mick cronin

465
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: to coach this game and he can throw one of

466
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: his own players out?

467
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: Can we get that?

468
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: Can Kenny?

469
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: Can he can he throw? Can he jump in and

470
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 4: coach the second half of this game? Why does he

471
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: keep yelling five million?

472
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: I like this, This would be so much better if

473
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: I could just throw Lauren Betts out of this game.

474
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: I'll just saying the last last two weeks, you want

475
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: to talk about a guy who's taken every every microphone possible,

476
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: you stand first hit. Look, it's good recruiting, it's good,

477
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: he's a character. But it just keeps coming back to

478
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: I need that five million. I needs uh now. So

479
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: we have more on this crazy night in college basketball

480
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: coming up in a bit, but huge news today, Luka

481
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: Doncic is out for the rest of the regular season.

482
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: His status beyond the regular season is uncertain after a

483
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: hamstring injury last night in the loss to Oklahoma City. Now,

484
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: there are so many angles and so many things to

485
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: talk about with this story, and the first one is

486
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: you have to go back and I have to say, really,

487
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on with JJ Reddick? Okay,

488
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: because this is this is just that none of what's

489
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: going on the last twenty four hours makes sense, and

490
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: he's got to own that he is at the center

491
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: of this. And I don't know if I'm Luca, I'm

492
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm pissed as hell at JJ Reddick.

493
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 3: Right.

494
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: So at halftime last night he was getting a massage

495
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: on his hamstring, so you know it was affecting him

496
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, but JJ Redick still played him in

497
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: the second half. Now it's a blowout, the Lakers getting

498
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: blown out midway through the first quarter, It's a thirty

499
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: point game.

500
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 4: This is one of those nights where I think you

501
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: can say, you know what.

502
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: Luca, we're good. We're good. You've been great the last

503
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks. You've jumped into the top

504
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: of MVP. We're losing this game, right clearly, Oklahoma City

505
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: had this circled on our calend, on their calendar. Hey, Lakers,

506
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: you're playing really well. You think you're good, you think.

507
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 4: Let's attack him.

508
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, yeah, we'll show you what a great team

509
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: is like. So, okay, you lose. It's a regular season game.

510
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: It's okay, but they still put him back out there

511
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: for the second half. He tries a little turnaround moving

512
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: the lane, immediately throws the ball down, grabs his hamstring.

513
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: He's done after the game, because I remember Monsie Bllanios

514
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: last night telling us, hey, JJ Reddick said he could

515
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: have come back in the game, but he didn't come

516
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: back in.

517
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: But he's got an MRI. Friday.

518
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, so he could have come back in the game,

519
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: but he still is an MRI. That's really quick to

520
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: go from. He could come back in and play too.

521
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: He's getting an MRI, and then the MR today obviously

522
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: shows that it's an injury. He is out for the

523
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: rest of the regular season and his status for the

524
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: playoffs is in doubt. This is where JJ Reddick needs

525
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: to be in front of the entire Lakers front office

526
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: and the median. Go, dude, you tell us everything that happened,

527
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: because I don't know that I shouldn't blame you for

528
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: getting Luka Donca Church because number one, you didn't need

529
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: him after halftime. You're not coming back in this game.

530
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: Are you really going to expend all this energy for

531
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: a meaningless regular season game where you'll lose him by thirty.

532
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 7: No, But then you think of the children, all those

533
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 7: people that you tell me all the time, these guys

534
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 7: take nights off, and Johnny and Susie in that third deck,

535
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 7: they're disappointed that Luca's not there for the second half.

536
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: Man, you got SGA and Lebron.

537
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: You're fine, right, sound like you're going, Hey, man, the

538
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: only guy I got watching this game is Austin Reason

539
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hartenstein.

540
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, So so.

541
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: You have the you have the first part where it's dude,

542
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: I think that's a little coaching malpractice putting it back

543
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: into the game that you were not coming back in.

544
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: You are not coming back to win this game. But okay,

545
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: but then after the game to have the he could

546
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: have come back in like I don't I don't know

547
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: that this isn't a case of, hey, are you just

548
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: hoping that everything's gonna turn out well, because because he

549
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: knows how this is gonna play out, he knows that

550
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: people are gonna find out he was getting his hamstring

551
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: getting his leg massage at halftime, and if he gets hurt,

552
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: this is gonna be on JJ Redick. So as JJ

553
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: Reddick saying, hey, he could have come back in the

554
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: game hoping that the MRI would come back positively today

555
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: and he could say, well, so, yeah, we're gonna keep

556
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: them out out of an abundance of caution. But he's

557
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: gonna sit a little bit, like, I really want to know,

558
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: JJ rehdd what happened here?

559
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: Man?

560
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 5: Like?

561
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: What tell us what happened and how this went from

562
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: he could have come back into an MRI to now

563
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: he's out for the rest of the regular season in

564
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: a game that he probably shouldn't have come back in,

565
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: man Like, I need to know what the hell was

566
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: going on with you during the game that led to

567
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: these decisions, because this is you have taken. This is

568
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers season. They're not going anywhere without Luca in

569
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: the You're not getting out of the first round without Luca.

570
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't care if Lebron gets in the way back machine.

571
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: Lebron and Austin Reeves aren't getting you by whoever you

572
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: play the succeeed right, it doesn't matter. You're not getting

573
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: out of this without Luca. The guys the top three

574
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: MVP you know, by the way, finishes with sixty four

575
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: games played. Congratulations, NBA. You're not going anywhere in the

576
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: first round. And it was worth it last night to

577
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: go through all of that. And were you protecting yourself

578
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: at the end with the with the the dual message

579
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: if you could have come back. I really I need

580
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: to know a lot of what went on with Reddick

581
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: and going into this. This is something where no, this

582
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: doesn't just get to be you know, swept to the side. Hey,

583
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: we'll soldier on without Luca. No, because because this could

584
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: be on you for making this happen. No, but there's

585
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: so much to it, right because on the Lucas side,

586
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: it's like you know your body, you've you've missed time

587
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: with injury multiple time. We talked about it at nauseum

588
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: right when that trade was made, and even in the

589
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: hereafter and go back to last night as this was

590
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: going down, It's like there's a history, so for him

591
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: to not bristle and sit like, what are you hoping

592
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: to get some style points in the second half so

593
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: your final numbers look good against Okay, See it's like, okay,

594
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: we got drubbed by forty, but he still had thirty

595
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: five points or some nonsense like that. Is that what

596
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: we were gonna get in those final eighteen minutes of play?

597
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.

598
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: So, like as much as we can castigate Reddick and

599
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: he certainly doesn't go blameless the training staff of Luka

600
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: dancts and he's not a first year guy. This isn't

601
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: a rookie saying hey, get out there. You still have

602
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: to go prove yourself. He's a guy long in the tooth,

603
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: and you don't go anywhere in these playoffs without him.

604
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: You know your team's no good without him. So it's

605
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: and he knows that, right, Luca knows that. So like

606
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: they're all culpable, And then we take the giant blame pie,

607
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: we cut it up and hope half of it is

608
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: still there, so we look at it for the Lucal situation. Now,

609
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: if they're starting to file the appeal Like we saw

610
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: this with with Giannis. You've got he and the the

611
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: Bucks are slap fighting and they want to talk to

612
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: everybody and put them under the lights like it's an

613
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: NYPD blue episode. Sipowitz is threatening everybody. But this Luca thing, Yeah,

614
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: this is this is huge. The timeline from Okay, when

615
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: did he start feeling it in the first half?

616
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: For has this been going on?

617
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: And he's just kind of been able to fight through

618
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: it and it finally was too much right at halftime,

619
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 1: Like what's the conversation because you're getting drubbed like and

620
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: it's one thing to say, hey, we want to make

621
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: a good showing we're not gonna get punked all the

622
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: way through. No, no, no, and at some point the

623
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: flare gun gets shot and you just say we're done.

624
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I I don't get.

625
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: The main thing is what I don't understand is that

626
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: he he hurts it in the first half, gets looked at, obviously,

627
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: and gets massage in the sideline, and is cleared to

628
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: go back in the game in the second half.

629
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 4: Why would you do that?

630
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, again, it's a thirty point burial at halftime,

631
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: you're on the road. I don't understand the philosophy and

632
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: the reaction behind that. Are you DP. I want to

633
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: get my guy the MVP. I want to get Luca

634
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: the m because if he has a big second half,

635
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: we wind up losing. But he goes for fifty. I

636
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: don't I don't understand that. I don't understand that whole

637
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: why you would put a guy in an era in

638
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: the NBA where it's become very easy for guys to

639
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: not play anymore. I was saying for wanting to play,

640
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: it's very I don't understand that that whole thing. JJ

641
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: Reddick has to answer for this because that this is

642
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I understand that. All right, well, yeah,

643
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: you're trying to win a get here, but you had

644
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: a big red flag and oh, by the way, same

645
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: hamsterring that cost him four games earlier. Now, no, let's

646
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: put him back out there. What are you doing? What

647
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: are you doing? No, it's it's complete malpractice, malfeasance, whatever

648
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: you want to do. And now they're they're going through

649
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: and everybody's trying to find the loopholes and the extenuating

650
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: circumstances as related to the sixty five game rule exit

651
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,080

Speaker 1: of sports from Special Delivery Steve de Sager, who is

00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: Oh wait, he's tapping his hand on the top of

657
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: his head. He needs an ABS call for his update

658
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: right now. He's going to re take a look at

659
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: what just went on.

660
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 8: That's right, because I thought the last segment was a strike.

661
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 8: The umpire felt otherwise. It is halftime at the Women's

662
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 8: Final four. UCLA was up eight after the first quarter.

663

664
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,280

00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: the first half.

667
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,640

668
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,480

00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,240

738
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: for We got Jason Cole coming up NFL Insider in

739
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: a minute, but want to play you this audio from

740
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: NFL titan Eric Ebron, who by the way, had his

741
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: run for a couple of years fantasy wise Sure, did

742
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: a podcast in which he talked about what happened surrounding

743
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: the retirement of Andrew Luck. You remember Andrew Luck who

744
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: retired middle of the preseason in twenty nineteen. Still one

745
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: of the most shocking stories of all time.

746
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 5: Whoa, whoa, whoa?

747
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 4: He retired? What happened?

748
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron said, Hey, I got the real story for you,

749
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: and it involves Andrew Luck and our GM Chris Ballard

750
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: of the Colts and who basically dared Andrew Luck to

751
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: retire when Luck was really desponding about his injuries. Here's

752
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: the artist from Eric Eberan from the podcast earlier today.

753
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: Andrew then decided that he's so tired of he don't

754
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: tell nobody this. This is the backstory. He's so tired

755
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 3: of injury and he just doesn't want to do a surgery.

756
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: You know who the man is around there that gets

757
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 3: on everybody's nerves. Big drums over there behind that disc.

758
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: He tells Andrew this is word, bro. He tells Andrew,

759
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: you're either.

760
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 4: Playing this year or we're moving on. Who the fock

761
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: would tell Andrew Luck that right? You're playing this year

762
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: or we're moving on.

763
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 5: Right.

764
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: This is Andrew Luck, who for most of his career

765
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: was pretty healthy. Missed one whole season, obviously with an injury.

766
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: But it's coming off a year he threw for thirty

767
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. Okay, he had a couple of really big

768
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: years Andrew Luck. He was still a franchise quarterback. He

769
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: was still in his twenties. If he was going through

770
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: some time where again, that's why I hope this story

771
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: is not true, because if it is, boy does Chris

772
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 1: Baalin look like an absolute idiot? Well, because you really

773
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: like pivoted to a lot of great options in the

774
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: aftermath of Andrew Luck walking away during that famous preseason game,

775
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: Like if if you dare your quarterback who clearly is

776
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: going through something, hey, I'm dinged up. He's been hurt

777
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: throughout his career. This is where you say, hey, okay,

778
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: you're our franchise quarterback, man, so we understand. And this

779
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: is why I feel like, did the cults really deserve

780
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: to go from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck and me?

781
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 4: Come on? Will you treat Andrew Luck like? This is

782
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 4: why again I hope this story is not true.

783
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: Is you really don't say something like, hey, take some

784
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: time off, take some time away. I know you need

785
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: some time. You want to heal, get better. Whatever it

786
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,959
Speaker 1: is will work. We'll work it out with you. Because

787
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: you are a franchise player. We signed you to a

788
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: long contract. If you need some time to get your

789
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: mind right, okay, and if you still want to retire,

790
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do it. But to say you play

791
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: this year or moving on without you? Like, what what

792
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: the hell?

793
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: Man?

794
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 5: Like?

795
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: In what in what world does that story make sense

796
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: that you would say that to Andrew Luck? This is

797
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: not an end of Run year three with an aged

798
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: Brett Favre where Aaron Rodgers is sitting there and then

799
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: doing the same thing with Aaron Rodgers. When you've drafted

800
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. This is a guy who is coming into

801
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: the privates career. How about asking him, Hey, what do

802
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: we need to do offensive line? What's not working here

803
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: to where you're getting your ass kicked to this level?

804
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: Because clearly Baller didn't see it on the tape. So

805
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: all of that leads to this from Ebron. I mean,

806
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: this is this is groundbreaking, joining us down the hot

807
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: line proud stand for grad Yeah. Also Andrew Luck sound

808
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: alike who could do interviews as Andrew Luck. He's been

809
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: wing on this for the last few years, long time

810
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: front of the show. He is a Hall of Very

811
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: Good voter as well. Check him out in the thirty

812
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: third team. He is Jason Cole, Jay Cole, what's happening?

813
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 4: Man?

814
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 5: I you guys have to bring that up, because like

815
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 5: I had this big plan that Andrew Luck was going

816
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: to win a Super Bowl or two and that I

817
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 5: was going to make all this money as his voice stoppelganger.

818
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 4: Like you'd be doing the audiobook for him and everything.

819
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, no, it's just everything voiceovers for you know,

820
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 5: like anything that he could possibly do. That was my

821
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 5: retirement plan.

822
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeh, Jason Cole reads Captain Andrew Luck tweaks like that

823
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: would have been as good.

824
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was what I was going to do. So

825
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 5: tell me the story that because I haven't seen this.

826
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, first of all, I think you can sue

827
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck for wages not gotten. No, I think there's

828
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: a way you can do.

829
00:39:54,400 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 5: I can't because I actually like Andrew. We're friends. So yeah, yeah, sorry,

830
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 5: I can't do that.

831
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 4: But if in one hand, you have your friendship, I.

832
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 5: Told him, I'm pissed at him, all right, Okay, okay.

833
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 1: In one hand you have your friendship with Andrew Luck.

834
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: In the other hand, you could have fifteen million dollars.

835
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: So Eric Ebron, we played the you. I don't know

836
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: if you heard it as our producer Ian was dialing

837
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: you up. But Eric Ebron did an interview today on

838
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: the podcast saying the real reason behind Andrew Luck's retirement

839
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: was Chris Ballard, coach GM, daring him to retire when

840
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck talked about not being so healthy and questioning

841
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: where he's at right now in his career. We'll play

842
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: the audio for you again because it's absolutely outstanding.

843
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 3: Andrew Den deicized that he's so tired of he don't

844
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 3: tell nobody this.

845
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 4: This is the backstory.

846
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 3: He's so tired of injury and he just doesn't want

847
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: to do a surgery. You know who the man is

848
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: around there that gets on everybody's nerves. Big draws over

849
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: there behind that disc. He tells Andrew, this is word, bro.

850
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: He tells Andrew, you're.

851
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 4: Either playing this year or we're moving on. Who the

852
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 4: would tell.

853
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Andrew looks that right, Jason Cole analysis.

854
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 5: I'm texting, I'm texting aw right now.

855
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 4: Is this true? Is this true?

856
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 5: I'm done with this?

857
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you gotta type faster, man, you gotta

858
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: take you gotta take typing classes.

859
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 4: Click click click click click.

860
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 5: We'll see if we'll see if he responds.

861
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 4: To say he's got like eight minutes to respond.

862
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 5: He responds during this, I'm on the air with these knuckleheads.

863
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I want to Jason, I want

864
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: to think this story is not true, just because Wow,

865
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: that's like the worst thing you could do is a

866
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: general manager.

867
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 5: It's insanity, Like it's just it's just I mean, it's

868
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 5: one of the most idiotic MACHOs things you could ever

869
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 5: imagine doing you know, you just don't take on you

870
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 5: don't take on guys who lay it on the line

871
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 5: for you. And Andrew Luck. You can say anything you

872
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 5: want about Andrew Luck. Okay, you know that he maybe

873
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 5: quit too early and didn't fight through it, and you know,

874
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 5: maybe sure put and given it. I mean, that's that's all.

875
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 5: That's all fine, Okay, But I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I

876
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 5: know on the plane just lost the perfect game. So

877
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 5: but but like the amount of stupidity that he put

878
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 5: up with bad offensive systems and him having to run

879
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 5: through people and him you know, going out and tackling

880
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 5: people after interceptions, which again wasn't always wise, right. I mean,

881
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 5: the man, the man put his body on the line,

882
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 5: you know, and he was a pure football player, And

883
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 5: to say that to him, I would just I would

884
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 5: have fired him on the spot if I knew that

885
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: it was true. I would I just if I was

886
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 5: junior saying I heard that got back to me, I

887
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 5: would just said, Andrew, I apologize, I apologize for Chris Baalig,

888
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 5: and I'm firing him right now.

889
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: Well, because they pivoted Jacoby Burssett and Brian Hoyer, then

890
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers well, just like.

891
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 5: This is now. Look you can say to people, I

892
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 5: need more. Like Rich Spielman once said to Lamar Thomas,

893
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 5: and I remember this distinctly. Lamar Thomas, who you know

894
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 5: most people won't won't remember a wide receiver played for

895
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 5: the Dolphins, you know, you know, sort of a just

896
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 5: kind of a journeyman career, right. And so he went

897
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 5: over the middle in a in a preseason game and

898
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 5: he went up and he almost made a catch and

899
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 5: he was coming down and so he's coming off a

900
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 5: few and they've been talking about a new contract that year,

901
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 5: and Rick Bielman said, look, if you want a new contract,

902
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 5: you have to catch balls like that. And that's that's

903
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 5: being truthful with a guy that's not challenging his manhood.

904
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 5: It's just telling him the truth about this is how

905
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 5: the league works. But there's a difference when you have

906
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 5: a guy who's you know, playing hurt is your quarterback

907
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 5: you invested so much in with the number one overall pick.

908
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 5: I mean, like to say that to him would be

909
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 5: pure insanity. So I hope it's not true, because you know,

910
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 5: like Chris Ballad never deserves to be an executive again.

911
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 5: If that's true, I mean to look like I would

912
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 5: never hire a guy who talked about like that to

913
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 5: a player. Double play. That's a retired here, but.

914
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: Like, I'm not watching the game here in studio.

915
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: By the way, he's doing the story like he's Harry Carey.

916
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 4: You know I would fire him on the spot.

917
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: Hey, there's a groundball double play.

918
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 5: I grew up on Vin Scully, but I have an

919
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 5: appreciation for Harry. Kay, Okay, listen, They're very different announcers,

920
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 5: just like that.

921
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 4: Just so, but I gotta say this, listen. You know

922
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 4: I love what you said.

923
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: Hey wait, wait, wait, I know I love what you

924
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: say in the show, and I want you to say more.

925
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: But you have to check your phone right now and

926
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: see if Andrew Luck has texted you in the last

927
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: three minutes.

928
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 4: You gotta check it.

929
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 5: Well, no, I have it right in front of me,

930
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 5: just waiting for it to happen, So don't worry.

931
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: So you have two phones, so you're like Walter White,

932
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: you gotta you got to interviews and a regular phone.

933
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 5: Well, no, it has Luck has notifications.

934
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: Wait, so so give j Cole your your hot take

935
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: theory about the Raiders. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, So I

936
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: got to ask you this after that crazy ass contract

937
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: that they gave Kirk Cousins a day ago.

938
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 4: Are we sure they're going to draft for Nando Mendoza?

939
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: Are we sure because you know Raiders? Are we sure

940
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 4: they're going to draft Fernando Mendoza?

941
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, because there's there's some doubt there that whether Kirk

942
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 5: can play right, Like, can Kirk actually play anymore? Are

943
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 5: you are you? Are you telling me that you're going

944
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 5: to hitch your wagon at the future of your franchise

945
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 5: after you just traded for Gino Smith the year before,

946
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 5: Now you're going to go to Kirk Cousins after how

947
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 5: he played last year.

948
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the opportunity is there then to get

949
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: one of these quote unquote generational quarterbacks next year? And

950
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: and why is you're going to stink anyway? And why

951
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: are you signing Why are you signing Kirk Cousins? And you,

952
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I live in the real world, Jay Cole,

953
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: and I know that people make decisions in March and

954
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: April that are stupid because when the first week of

955
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: the season comes, you're number one overall pick is going

956
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: to be playing quarterbacks?

957
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 5: You live in the world. No, no, no, it's not because

958
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 5: you live in the real world. That's not it. But

959
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 5: you know that people make stupid decisions in March and April.

960
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 4: Sorry because I'm a Jet fan. Okay, all right, that's

961
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 4: exactly right.

962
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter when you're a quarterback and you're

963
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 1: a pick number one overall, you are starting from week one.

964
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: That's why this this whole.

965
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no, of course he is.

966
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no. They don't think that they can

967
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 5: wait a second, remember Raiders, wait a second? Okay, stop.

968
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I'm a big believer in playing quarterbacks

969
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 5: early if you can, don't don't get me wrong, right,

970
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 5: but and I would rather flam earlier than than not.

971
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 5: But if you can't protect the guy, let somebody else

972
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 5: go take the lumps for him. So I do think

973
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 5: that I overwhelmingly believe this is a one year an outfield.

974
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 5: But they had Here's the thing, the Raiders have a

975
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 5: ton of money to spend and the and here's the

976
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 5: other I shall I say it, The dirty little secret

977
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 5: of the NFL right now is that teams are have

978
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 5: so much cap money that they don't even know how

979
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 5: to spend it right now, Like they're a wash in

980
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 5: cap money because the nfl PA didn't set the minimum

981
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 5: contracts high enough to keep pace with where where the

982
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 5: cap is and what's going to happen to the players

983
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 5: in a couple of years. And I know that most

984
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 5: fans couldn't give less of a darn about this. Is

985
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 5: that is that the owners are going to demand that

986
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 5: they take less money because they're going to be tired

987
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 5: of overpaying these guys, especially the mediocre guys, have been

988
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 5: making money the last couple of years, like you know,

989
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 5: the center that the Raiders assigned that they overpaid by,

990
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 5: you know, almost double. So when when that starts to happen,

991
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 5: there's going to be a big shift and there's gonna

992
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 5: be a big war about it, unless, of course, be

993
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 5: union just kind of folds, which there is a good

994
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 5: chance that this union with this new leadership could fold

995
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 5: and not not really not really take the owners to

996
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 5: the map, because I don't think they have a strategy,

997
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 5: but that's one of the things. So in a certain sense,

998
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 5: you have you're a wash in money to go get

999
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins to go out and take a bunch of

1000
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 5: lumps for you, Like you're sitting here saying, look, there's

1001
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 5: a good chance you're going to play and Cousins is going.

1002
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,959
Speaker 5: You mean I'm going to go get killed this year

1003
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 5: so that Mendoza doesn't get killed. You better pay me, right,

1004
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 5: So that's that's part of the deal.

1005
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is,

1006
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: at Jason Cole sixty two. Have you gotten a text

1007
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: around your luck?

1008
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 5: I thought we were going this for eighteen minutes, you've

1009
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 5: only been to eleven. But I guess you guys are

1010
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 5: just gonna you don't want you don't want to break news.

1011
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 4: We have to fight. Did did he text you?

1012
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:47,680

Speaker 4: Do you want to do? Why do?

1014
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: Why don't we go to Steve and then Jacob's can

1015
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: hang out a minute?

1016

Speaker 5: No? No, he hasn't sake How about this, I'll make

1017
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,920

00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 5: about this tonight a bunch of friends. So it's just

1019
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 5: a wild guess that he has turned his phone off

1020
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 5: and is not answering this question tonight. Okay, but somewhere

1021
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 5: along the line I made Look, I'm in California too,

1032
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 5: it has to be Wednesday, and it has to be

1033
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,600

00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 5: once that went out from Abron, that Andrews shut it down. Okay,

1043

Speaker 5: middle of that mess, all right.

1045
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 4: All right, but justice feeling.
