1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 2: Oh, good morning everybody, Happy Saturday to you. You know, 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 2: something occurred this week that I don't think has ever 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: occurred in the history of the NBA. Now this is 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: not a fact, this is an opinion, but I think 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 2: what happened, Fellas is that the second round of the 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: NBA Draft was more interesting than the first round. Can 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: you ever say that before in the history of the 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: NBA Draft. I don't think you can. No, but that's 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: what happened this year. With Bronnie James going to the Lakers. 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: It was more entertaining. It was a storyline than any 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: other storyline in the first round. 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Most of us don't know how to. 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Pronounce the first overall pick's name, me being one of them, Reza. 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: That's all I have is the last name. 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the number one overall pick, and we're like, 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: who the hell is this? At least Brody was a storyline. 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: He's not gonna be as impactful, but that's a bigger storyline. 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: The second round was more entertaining than the first run. 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: I could I've never said that before until now. 21 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean in any sport ever, I think 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: that is a really interesting thought, but it's true, and 23 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean, go figure. That's the power of Lebron James, 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he's able in his time not only 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: to be a first overall draft pick himself, but then somehow, 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,919 Speaker 1: twenty years later or so make his son the most 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: interesting draft pick as a second rounder. I mean, look, 28 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: I guess where my brain goes, and maybe we should 29 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: do one apiece. So your takeaway from this is is 30 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: pretty perfect, you know, in terms of this being the 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: first and maybe only NBA or any draft in any 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: pro sports where the second round was actually more interesting 33 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: than the first round. Here's my thought. My thought is 34 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: have we ever seen a player have more control over 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: an organization than Lebron James. That was my main takeaway 36 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: because I was like, there's a part of me, and 37 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Jared, but like there was 38 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: a part of me. I'm like, ah, maybe they don't 39 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: take Bronni and they end up taking him, And I 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: just kind of threw my hands up and I went, 41 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: Lebron James could be the commissioner at some point before 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: his career is over. I put nothing past him. 43 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, first of all, nepotism's not dead. But 44 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 3: to the people who were very upset about that side 45 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: of the story. I mean, look in any corner of 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: the sports world and you will see a very similar 47 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: thing happen. In fact, my one of my proudest accomplishments 48 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: in my career is that my dad is a former 49 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 3: garment salesman in New York City and my mom is 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 3: a former advertising executive. 51 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: I had no help getting to. 52 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 3: This point in my career, and it's not easy, because 53 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say a lot of the people in 54 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: front of me didn't deserve it. 55 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: But you are back. 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: It is an uphill battle if you have no ends 57 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: in the sports world because of things like that. Things 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: like this happen all the time. Is it a huge deal, eh, 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: I don't know. It was a second round pick, probably 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: a guy that they were gonna, you know, draft from 61 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: It's kind of ironic the top of the draft, all 62 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: the international kids. You know, usually that's what happens. In 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: the second round. They pick some guy from Croatia and 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: he never. 65 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: Comes to America. 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: He stays there and you know, he's still trying to 67 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: work on his game. So with the fifty to fifth pick, 68 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like the end of the world 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: that they took a chance on their best player's son 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: to try to make him happy. I get the appeasement 71 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: element to it. You might be right, Rich, I mean, 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: he might have more power than any other player has 73 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: ever had in the history of the NBA. I mean, 74 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: it really is remarkable in a in an era where 75 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: the players have more power than ever, he has the 76 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: most power of all of them, and it's it is 77 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: interesting to watch a play out. 78 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: I I thought it was funny. After JJ Reddick was 79 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: hired as Lakers head coach, there was immediately a storyline 80 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 2: released where Lebron was like, I didn't have anything to 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: do with this, yeah, and I laughed myself. I was 82 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: waiting for that when Bronni was drafted, you know, I 83 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: was waiting for the Lebron press release. 84 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: So I didn't twist anybody's arm here. They just didn't 85 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: the game. 86 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: They just don't lie to us though, Like just be real, 87 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: Like we are human beings, we all understand, we get it. 88 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: Just be real. 89 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have an issue with it. Like you said, Jared, 90 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: this happens a lot in the sports world. I think 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: it happens a lot with coaches, you know, you look 92 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: at Steve Belichick under Bill Now he's at Washington, he's 93 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator over there, and. 94 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: He's done a good job. 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: Andy Reid had his son hired, you know, when he 96 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 2: was with Kansas City, and we know how that turned 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: out well. 98 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: Brian Farrence, I mean, goodness, gracious. 99 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah that was That's the question is, yes, this 100 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: is nepotism, but can Bronnie James maximize the opportunity. That's 101 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: the question that it turns into. And I think that 102 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: I thought you laid it out perfectly, Jared is I 103 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: think the I don't know the impact lessons when okay, 104 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: what's the alternative if the Lakers didn't go with Bronnie, 105 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 2: they're taking a flyer on some random dude fifty five. Overall, yeah, 106 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with it. I'm rooting for Bronnie. 107 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: It's an uphill battle. Some of this is funny to me, though, 108 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: where Bronnie's averages last year at USC averaged four point 109 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: eight points per game, and I saw graphic on ESPN 110 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 2: that it just made me laugh. The graphics said Bronni 111 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: averaged ten point one points per game per forty minutes, 112 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, if Bronni played every second and 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: every minute of every game in college, then he averaged 114 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: ten point one points per game. What are we doing? 115 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: Some of the coverage is silly with this, but I'm 116 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: pulling for the kid, and listen, that's a lot of pressure. 117 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: This is an awesome story where this is. 118 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: The first father son duo as teammates, let alone like 119 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: being in the NBA at the same time. 120 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: Now they're teammates. That's an awesome story. 121 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: But there is a lot of pressure that comes along 122 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: with this because every little move, every little play is 123 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: going to be dissected because Bronnie is Lebron's kid. 124 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what a story. I mean, I just marvel 125 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: at what we saw earlier this week and the fact 126 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: that Lebron James. I mean, think about this, this guy's 127 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: life trajectory. He goes from being a poor kid in 128 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Ohio to being the king of the NBA. I mean, 129 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: is there anyone more powerful powerful in this league? And 130 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: the answer is no. Is there anybody who's ever pulled 131 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: off this type of move? The answer is no. Nepotism 132 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, Jared, it exists in sports radio or 133 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, broadcast. It exists in advertising. You know, sometimes 134 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: a big ad company. You know, somebody's kid is is 135 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, going to school and taking business classes, and 136 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, the first the first job they're gonna hold 137 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: when they leave Yale or shoot, I mean, it doesn't matter, 138 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, the University of Hastra. They're they're going to 139 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: have a position at mom or Dad's ad company, you know, 140 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: or like you know, if you're a dry cleaner, you 141 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, you know, if you own 142 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: a couple of dry cleaning businesses and you have a 143 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: couple of employees, guess who's going to be their boss 144 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: pretty soon when you retire. Maybe it's maybe it's a 145 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: son or a daughter, or a niece or a nephew, 146 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a bunch of employees who have 147 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: been with the business for a long time rolling their 148 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: eyes like he doesn't even know the business. How is 149 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: he gonna do this? Nepotism exists in so many different places, 150 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: but it's so rare at the player level of sports 151 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: because it truly is a meritocracy. You're either good enough 152 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: or your not. You know, look as good as some 153 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: of these star players are. All across the NFL, all 154 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: across the NBA, many of those star players, they flame 155 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: out at the college level. And frankly, if Bronni James Junior, 156 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: if he wasn't Lebron James's son, that probably would be 157 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: the story here. Now. I'm not saying he wouldn't be 158 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: able to fight his way onto a G League team. 159 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying maybe his game would have improved vastly 160 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: over his time at USC or if he transferred somewhere else, 161 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: but most likely that's where the story ends. But because 162 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: of Lebron James's power, he was able to boost his 163 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: son into this situation. So now, don't get me wrong, Brian, 164 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm with you too. I don't think there's really anything 165 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: wrong with it from the standpoint of like I mean, 166 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: if I were Lebron James and I could pull it off, 167 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: would I do it? The answer is probably, yeah, I 168 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: probably would. But if this has some real issues down 169 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: the road, there are gonna be some potholes that they're 170 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: gonna have to navigate around in order to make this 171 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: thing work. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, is what 172 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. 173 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: There's two people who love it. The first person's JJ Reddick, 174 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: it's all the pressure off. 175 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: We're not talking about. 176 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 3: The coaching move right now, right, ye, We're only talking 177 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: about Brownie. You know who else loves it, And this 178 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: person is the most to benefit from this situation, Dalton Connect. 179 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 3: I mean, you want to talk about a guy who 180 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: was all ready all right? Why is he not being taken? 181 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 3: It's the seventeenth pick. He was kind of a top 182 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: ten pick. Is there something wrong? Then the Lakers take 183 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: him at seventeen and I thought that was a steal, 184 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 3: and you got jj Reddick in the war room already 185 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: drawing up plays for him, and then all of a sudden, 186 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 3: the next draft pick comes and it's Bronny and now 187 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 3: Dalton Connect is like a first round draft pick that 188 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: might as well have been a twentieth round draft pick. 189 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: So it just takes the pressure off Dalton to just 190 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: come in and be another guy. You're not the first 191 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: round pick. You're just Dalton Connect. The only draft pick 192 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: the Lakers are gonna be buzzing about is Brownie. So 193 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: it it does. And it's kind of ironic because that's 194 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: always been the mo for lebron Is. You know, he 195 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 3: can carry the load and carry the pressure and everyone 196 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: else can kind of relax a little bit, and it's 197 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: just the mark of a leader. So it is kind 198 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: of ironic that the two biggest stories surrounding the Lakers, 199 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: like if you just remove the lebron James and Bronnie element, 200 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 3: was a brand new head coach in an awkward situation, 201 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: you know, right the whole we thought we were gonna 202 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: get hurly and it didn't happen in this and that, 203 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it's Jj Redick with the 204 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 3: podcast and all that stuff. And then Dalton Cannect, who 205 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: I think has a chance to be a really good 206 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 3: player in this league. He kind of checks all the 207 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 3: boxes of what a pro needs to be. He's got size, 208 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 3: he cant shoot from outside, and he played it a 209 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: you know, a really good school in Tennessee. And now 210 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: he is just a complete under the radar situation. So 211 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: I think there are some positives from this if you 212 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 3: kind of, you know, scan the horizon. 213 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: A little bit. But yes, we're gonna be talking about 214 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: this all summer long. Man, I'll tell you what. 215 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: I can't wait when the season rolls around and the 216 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: Lakers some random night they get rolled by fifteen against 217 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: the Timberwolves, or whatever, and some reporter is like, hey, 218 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, when's Bronni gonna play? JJ Redick is gonna 219 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 2: eat a reporter's face off. 220 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: Oh, it's gonna be so good when that happened. Yes. 221 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 2: One other thing I wanted to mention real fast is 222 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: the second round started at four pm Eastern time, like 223 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: one pm out west. 224 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: Why I couldn't believe that. 225 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: I read like I was reading like a newsletter the 226 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 2: day of the second round of the draft, cause I 227 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: didn't think. I just took it for granted. Okay, it'll 228 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: be in primetime. It's gonna be like the NFL Draft. 229 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: They have the first round in primetime, they have the 230 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: next day in primetime rounds two and three. 231 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. 232 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: And I read it's at four pm Eastern time, and 233 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, what it's on right now? And I flipped 234 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: over and it's basically in like a closet, Like what 235 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: are we doing? I thought it was an okay idea, 236 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: Okay to space it out. You get a couple of 237 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: days of you know, juice out of it, especially this 238 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: year with Bronnie James, you actually had a reason to 239 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: check it out. 240 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: And it starts at one PM Eastern out West. Why 241 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: would you do that? You at least have to. 242 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: Put it in primetime where people are not at work 243 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: and watching it potentially. 244 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: That was crazy to me. It was absolutely insane. I 245 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: again read the room, like you know that this is 246 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: probably going to be one of the most interesting second 247 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: rounds you'll ever have. It's not like Adam Silver was 248 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: completely caught off guard that number fifty five overall was 249 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: going to be arguably the greatest player to ever play. 250 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: The game's son going to one of the biggest brands 251 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: in basketball. I mean, it's like, it's very interesting. The 252 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: NFL does such a good job of capitalizing on their 253 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: off season, and it feels like Major League Baseball. It 254 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: feels like the NBA, you know, the NHL. I mean, 255 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: it's a distant fourth place in terms of capitalizing on 256 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: their offseason, but those other two that's a distant second 257 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: and third behind the NFL. The NFL will drop like 258 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the first couple of games games of their schedule, and 259 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: people will be salivating four months out from the kickoff 260 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: of the regular season. And it's because they just they're 261 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: masters at the strip tease. It's like, I'm gonna show 262 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: you a little leg. I'm gonna show you a little leg. 263 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. Guys, high heels, high heels, 264 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Like you're just like, what is going But but the 265 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: NBA and Major League Baseball, like they really need to 266 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: tear a page or tear that page out of the 267 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: NFL's playbook. Because I'm with you, Brian. I was like, 268 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: I was shocked that the coverage wasn't going to be 269 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: in primetime. But there you go. I mean, it's it's 270 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: not everybody gets it, or maybe there was some reason 271 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: why they couldn't. I'm sure somebody somewhere in the league 272 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: offices will tell you all the reason why they couldn't. 273 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: But whereas like the NFL owners would have been like, 274 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: well tell me all the reasons why you can. Let's 275 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: start there. Yeah. Yeah. 276 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: The Major League Baseball is a lost cause with scheduling. 277 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: They started their season in the middle of March madness 278 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: overnight in Korea. 279 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: That is that. It's it. 280 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: It's full full stop, your cut. Whoever was creating the 281 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 3: baseball schedule should be fired immediately. That's a separate issue 282 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: the NFL. 283 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: It really is. 284 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: Remarkable what the NFL has done. The NFL has gotten 285 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: us so in tune to the schedule that you have 286 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: nerds like me that will like, in the middle of 287 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 3: June create like a giant Arts and Crafts matrix to 288 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: just honor all of the game. I mean, that is 289 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 3: how much we crave the NFL when. 290 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: It comes out. It is insane. 291 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: I don't know, Brian, I'm curious, why did Why did 292 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: you like that? Because I thought the second day of 293 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: the draft was like, ah, did we need it? I 294 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: understand why they did it. I just thought it was 295 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: kind of silly. And then when they put it it 296 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: was like, all. 297 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: Right, now it's really silly. 298 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: I just thought, Okay, you're gonna try to get two 299 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: days of mileage out of this thing, especially this year 300 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: with Bronny going in the second round most likely this 301 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: year years I'm like, okay, all right, let's put it 302 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: at one PM that it made no sense, that made 303 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: zero sense. Like think about this, like what would the 304 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: NFL do. Imagine if Tom Brady's son was gonna get 305 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: drafted late, probably by the Patriots, you know, if he 306 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: was still playing for the Patriots, do you think the 307 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: NFL would start that round of the draft, or that 308 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: they had the draft at like one pm on a Friday. 309 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: NFL would move anything for any one player, because the 310 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 3: NFL is so pompous about its sport that they think 311 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: they're one player is not above anything. 312 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: They would just say, hey, that we can ring every 313 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: last droplet of value out of yes thing. 314 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: That's what they think would be made. They released the schedule. 315 00:16:53,800 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: They leaked the schedule over multiple days, you know, be like. 316 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Hey, guys, the Packers and the Eagles are playing in 317 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: South Pawo. And then everybody goes, oh my god. People 318 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: are fanning themselves like I have the vapors. I can't belie, 319 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Like yay, but but you're right, 320 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: I do, I do. I agree with both sides. I 321 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: could see the NFL being unbudging because they think they're 322 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: such a behemoth. But at the same token, there are 323 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: so many times where I think to myself, you know, 324 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: this is a huge battleship the NFL, and they'll just 325 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: suddenly turn it. Sometimes I'll be like, what about all 326 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: the aircraft's on top of the. 327 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 3: Aircraft crazy October? 328 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like yeah, exactly. It's like wait a second, Like, 329 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna change the whole kickoff rule. In 330 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: just one and one one offseason, like, you're not gonna 331 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: test this out? And at any point they're just like, nah, 332 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: we're good.

Jim Schlosnagel. Okay, 366 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: he is a head baseball coach. So what happened was 367 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: he was at Texas A and M, and Texas A 368 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: and M lost in the College World Series in Game 369 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: three to Tennessee six to five. Okay, So postgame press conference, 370 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 2: they just lost a game for all the marbles, and 371 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 2: there are rumors that this coach is gonna leave Texas 372 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: A and M and take the Texas job as their 373 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: head baseball coach. Okay, So listen to the question, which 374 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 2: is laid out as thoughtfully as possible, like grade a question, 375 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: and then Schlosnagel just epically steps in it with his answer, 376 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 2: listen to this thing, coach. 377 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: With respect to the difficult outcome tonight. 378 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: But with the rumors circulating today about a specific job opening, 379 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: what you have to say about your future and agguland. 380 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty selfish of you 381 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 7: to ask me that question, To be honest with you, 382 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 7: but I left my family to be the coach at 383 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 7: Texas A and M. I took the job at Texas 384 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 7: A and M to never take another job again, and 385 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 7: that hasn't changed in my mind. That's unfair to talk 386 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 7: about something like that. That'd be like you asking Montgomery 387 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 7: if he's gonna sign in the draft. But I understand 388 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 7: you got to ask the question. But I gave up 389 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 7: a big part of my life to come take this job. 390 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 7: And I've poured every ounce of my soul job and 391 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 7: I've given this job every single ounce I can possibly 392 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 7: give it. 393 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: Write that, yeah, and then nineteen hours later he took 394 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 2: the Texas job. 395 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: You can't make that up. 396 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: I mean, really, Derek Jeter made it an art form 397 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 2: to sidestep a tough question, you know what I mean, 398 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: And he wouldn't lie. He would just Barry Sanders his 399 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: way around it, you know, he'd spin move around it. 400 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: He was asked so many tough questions in New York 401 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: where it'd be like, Derek, what do you think about 402 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: a rod taking peds? 403 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? 404 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 2: And he would somehow sidestep the question and talk about 405 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: the Yankees or Pinstripes or his favorite TV show or whatever, 406 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: and you'd sit there and be like, that's. 407 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: A good answer. 408 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: He really didn't say anything as far as answering the question, 409 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: but it was an art form and this dude schlost Nagel. 410 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: He had to know the question was coming, and he 411 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: completely botched it. Mm do we lose Rich? 412 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: We might have we might have lost Rich? I think 413 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 3: so the first thing that comes to mind when I 414 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 3: hear this stuff. So this happened right after the game, 415 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 3: like right after Yeah.

Uh uh. 427 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: What's so funny about this story is the fact that 428 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: you're you're right, And I apologize for jumping in there, Jared, No, 429 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: you thought talking down the line to the end eering 430 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: team here. But yeah, like when when Brian, I hadn't 431 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: heard that before, and when you played that sound, my 432 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: immediate reaction was the same thing you just said, which was, 433 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: how could he a either not know that question was coming, 434 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: considering there was already writing on the wall that he 435 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: was taking the job, and b if he knew that 436 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: question was coming, and that's the best answer he could 437 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: come up with. Yeah, I got serious concerns if I'm Texas. 438 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean, because this is the whole gig. Look, I 439 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: hate to simplify things when we're talking about such complex jobs. 440 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: You know, you're dealing with a universe, a galaxy of 441 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: I guess universe is larger in scale, A universe of 442 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: different players, and you know, recruiting trips and donors and 443 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: booster dinners that you have to attend, and all you 444 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: are as a head coach is a communicator, Like that's 445 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: your whole gig. You're just kind of instantly communicating, communicating, 446 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, the efforts of your players to the boosters 447 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: so that they help you build a new training facility 448 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: or a brand new baseball field. Or you're communicating with parents, 449 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: you know, to lure their kid away from A and 450 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: M to come to the Longhorns, or you're you're talking 451 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: to the athletic department, you know, and you're trying to 452 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: encourage them to do things maybe a little bit different, 453 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: to highlight baseball a little bit better or whatever it 454 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: may be. And this is how you handle probably one 455 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: of your first statements and let's you know, not be 456 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: naive here as a Longhorns head coach. That's how you're 457 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: handling one of the first times you're addressing your new 458 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: job publicly in the media. This is how it goes. 459 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: It's a terrible look. It's a terrible look for him 460 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: and frankly for the Texas Longhorns. 461 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was saying right before you hop back on that. 462 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 3: I usually give the players the benefit of the doubt 463 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 3: with like the postgame interview, because they've just literally been 464 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 3: to war and coming down off of it, you get 465 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 3: some reporter that sticks a mic in your face and 466 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 3: asks you a very poignant question, and the players got 467 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 3: sweatdripping down their face and they're trying to you know, they're, oh, yeah, 468 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 3: let me give you a I don't give that same 469 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 3: extension of courtesy to the coaches because the whole time 470 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 3: it's all you're right, it's all strategy, it's all communication, 471 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 3: like that's the whole point of the job. So the 472 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: coach needs to be a little bit more. 473 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: Prepared for this kind of stuff. 474 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 3: And I was unaware of this story until you popped 475 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 3: it in the rundown, Brian, and I was looking at 476 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 3: I mean, these old school and I used to work 477 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 3: in college baseball.

Okay, So I've got a theory for you guys. Right, 570 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,959 Speaker 2: So this this coach, Jim schlosh Nagel. I can never 571 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 2: get that name, right, I mean the neighborhood, right, the 572 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: old neighborhood play in baseball. 573 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: So he brates this reporter. 574 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 2: He just lost the National Championship game at Texas A 575 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 2: and M he's being asked a question about maybe taking 576 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: the Texas job, and so why did he step in 577 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 2: it the way that he did. First things first, he's 578 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: a great a jackass. Let's just make sure that is 579 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 2: very well established. Where he's lying through his teeth. He's 580 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 2: condescending toward the reporter, write that it's a selfish question, 581 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: leading us on to believe he's taking the Texas. He's 582 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 2: keeping the A and M job because I took this 583 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: job expecting to not take any other job. Nothing has changed. Meanwhile, 584 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: behind the scenes, he's coordinating all this stuff. He's got 585 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: members of his staff at A and M. They're going 586 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: to follow him to Texas. There are reports he was 587 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: using burner phones to talk to recruits, you know. So 588 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: it's just so slimy. But the other part of it 589 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: is this, Yeah, that's the report. 590 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true. Stuff. So this is 591 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: my theory. 592 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: And you guys tell me if you're buying what I'm 593 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: selling it all I'll take you back to my Freds 594 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: No Days because I think it has something to do 595 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: with this storyline. So at the time, this is like 596 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 2: seven eight ish something like that, Jim mcelwaine was the 597 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator at Fresno State, and he was leaving to 598 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: be the offensive coordinator at Alabama under Nick Saban. And 599 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: so they had a press conference and I'm sitting there 600 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: thinking like, man, this was the biggest no brainer ever. 601 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 2: This is Alabama. This is a layup, right, And so 602 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: the press conference is and you could go up and 603 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: ask him questions. So I go up and I asked him. 604 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, Jim, what was this decision like for you? 605 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 2: The guy had tears in his eyes and said gut wrenching, 606 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 2: And I was just like, Wow, it's not as easy 607 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 2: as this is Alabama. Of course I'm taking this job. 608 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 2: You have relationships, you have history, you have so much 609 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 2: built into that, and I think that was partially why 610 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 2: this A and m guy completely screwed it up where 611 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 2: he's torn, right, Like, it's not just snapping your fingers 612 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: and saying I'm gonna take this Texas job. In that moment, 613 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: right after you lost the National Championship game by one run, 614 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 2: you probably felt a bunch of stuff. He probably felt 615 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: a little bit guilty. You probably felt torn. And that's 616 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: not an excuse for mishandling it the way he did. 617 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: But I think it's just an element there that's mostly 618 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: glossed over like this mora. But why why was he 619 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: a moron? I think being torn about leaving has a 620 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: lot to do with it. 621 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I I try not to judge a person 622 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: one hundred percent in one singular moment, because again, the 623 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: same way I was talking about the universe of things 624 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: that a head coach needs to be in charge of 625 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: from a communications standpoint, I mean, every single person is 626 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: their own galaxy of thoughts, emotions and maybe frankly information 627 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: that they're privy to that none of us will ever 628 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: be privy to. Like, maybe he was told to do 629 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: some of the things that he did, like calling recruits 630 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: with burner phones, if and and maybe that's what's best 631 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: for his family. And and it's hard for me to 632 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: like look at any man and judge him on doing 633 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: what's best for his family. You know when I mean, 634 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: is he killing anyone or hurting anybody? The answer is no. 635 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: Is he upsetting some people? The answer is yes? But 636 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: I mean have have have I? Or would I upset 637 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: people for the betterment of my family? Probably? You know, 638 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: so like it, He's just trying his hardest in this 639 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: situation to do the things he thinks he needs to 640 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: do in order to get this this whole I don't 641 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: know this whole gig rolling with the Longhorns. It it's 642 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: a slimy look. It's not the best thing I've ever 643 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: heard in terms of the sound clip. It's probably his 644 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: worst moment as a head coach. I would argue, you know, 645 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: being asked that question at that moment, So I'm again, 646 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: I'll go back to it. I won't judge him based 647 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: on you know, on the one time, on the one moment, 648 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: but if you're the Longhorns, you're sitting to yourself thinking like, 649 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: how wasn't he ready to answer that question better? You're 650 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: one hundred percent right, Brian, That's why. 651 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 3: And the context that I'll add really quick, I'm reading 652 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 3: now that i'm doing some research on this story that 653 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 3: the A and m AD right before the regional, so 654 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 3: a couple weeks prior to when the interview that we 655 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 3: just listened to took place, basically said hey, if you're 656 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 3: not okay with the situation, it's okay to move on. 657 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 3: And I think that probably hurt him even worse that 658 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 3: they kind of say, hey, if you want to leave 659 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 3: just go leave. Yeah, And emotion has a funny way 660 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 3: of playing with your logical senses. And I think there 661 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 3: was a lot of emotion with this story. 662 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And that's the thing, guy, when you're about to leave, 663 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 2: that's when you get very emotional. Right, You're leaving a job, 664 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 2: you're leaving a relationship. Maybe start thinking about the good times, 665 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 2: all that type of stuff, so that factors in. It 666 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 2: would have been so easy to side step. But he 667 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: could have just been like, listen, man, I appreciate the question. 668 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 2: That's the last thing on my mind. 669 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: Yep.

We're kind of in the 689 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 3: middle of it now. I call it the meat of it. 690 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 3: We just finished the group stage. This is the first 691 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 3: knockout round happening over the next four days. You'll have 692 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 3: two matches per day. There's sixteen teams left. It's the 693 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 3: sweet sixteen. 694 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: Out of the Euro.

It's in about two hours from now. 696 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna go both teams to score. 697 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: Here. 698 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 3: It's a plus money bet about plus one ten. You 699 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 3: can get this over at bet MGM. And this is 700 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 3: kind of my favorite go to bet for the Euro 701 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 3: knockout stage because, let's be honest, all you need is 702 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,919 Speaker 3: one goal for each team and you win. Right, Both 703 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 3: teams to score, it's pretty simple. Could be one, one, two, two, 704 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 3: five to five, doesn't matter. As long as each team 705 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 3: scores one goal, you get your victory. So we're gonna 706 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 3: parlay that with the later match today, which is a 707 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 3: very interesting one Germany and Denmark. And I'll be honest, 708 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: I've been watching this Denmark team very closely and they 709 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 3: haven't looked great. They've only scored two goals in the 710 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 3: entire tournament. They failed to score against Serbia when they 711 00:37:59,000 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 3: needed a goal. 712 00:37:59,600 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: They were four. 713 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 3: Fortunate the rest of the group kind of played out 714 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 3: in their favor. They were able to advance to the 715 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 3: knockout round. But they don't look to be a very 716 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 3: strong attacking side in this tournament. So Germany, they're the 717 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 3: home side of this entire tournament's being played across the 718 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 3: country of Germany, so it's obviously gonna be very raucous crowd. 719 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 3: I know Denmark's relatively close, but still it'll be a 720 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 3: pro German crowd for this match. So we will take 721 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 3: Germany to win to nil. What does that mean, Well, 722 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 3: Germany has to win and Denmark can't score, so Switzerland 723 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 3: Italy both teams to score. That's around plus one ten 724 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 3: Germany to nil. Love saying that rolls off the tongue 725 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 3: over Denmark. That's about plus one sixty. You pop those 726 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 3: suckers together. Not bad, almost five to one plus four 727 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 3: forty six over at bed MGM. Not the juiciest the 728 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 3: parlays we've given out here on the show. But you 729 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 3: get two picks, two matches, and hopefully it'll float you 730 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 3: through the whole afternoon of soccer. 731 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 2: That's an interesting little parlay right there. Yeah, and I 732 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 2: hope I'm not putting anything in the atmosphere that the 733 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 2: soccer GUIDs will listen to and go, you know what, 734 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 2: that's an interesting thought, right. I would hate if Germany's 735 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 2: up to nil. 736 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't even say it and they give up 737 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 3: a that's happened before. But that's why you're getting plus 738 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 3: one sixty. 739 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: Now. 740 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 3: I would also bet Germany just to win the match 741 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 3: at minus one sixty ish, okay, But we wanted to 742 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 3: get the odds to a point where we can really 743 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 3: be proud of the parlay, so we put the nil 744 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 3: in there to spice it up. 745 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: I like that you didn't add Bronni to win Rookie 746 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,240 Speaker 1: of THEE. No. I saw that MVP lebron MVC. 747 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 2: It's the most bet of the risk of your money candidates, 748 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 2: is Bronnie James? 749 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: Why why would you do that? Not a good idea 750 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: that just saved your money after bed? Yeah, well, when 751 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: you when you bet soccer, I mean, how much research 752 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: do you put into it? Or is this one of 753 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: those situations where I don't know, like you're having a 754 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: little fun since it's a parlay anyways. 755 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would say on the spectrum of sports 756 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 3: that I care about, I think soccer is like one 757 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 3: step above like the Tour de France, and like one 758 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 3: step below like I don't know, college baseball, which I 759 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 3: don't spend a whole lot of time on. But I 760 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 3: really only pay attention to soccer once every four year, 761 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 3: I guess two years, right, every two years we get 762 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 3: the Euro in the World Cup. Those are the two 763 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 3: events that I really care about. 764 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: Have you ever bet the Tour de France? Yes you have. 765 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 9: I have. 766 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: It was a word. 767 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 3: It was not my finest moment. No, fifteen years ago, 768 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 3: late night, I was watching it like two and one, 769 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 3: A long time ago. 770 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't even remember. But I definitely bet on it. 771 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 3: I've bet on that. 772 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: I spent on a lot of live tennis too when 773 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: I was degenerated. 774 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 2: All right, coming off next, Out with the old, in 775 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 2: with the new, we'll explain. Hang with us, that's up next. Oh, 776 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 2: welcome in, Happy Saturday to you. So looks like a 777 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 2: case of out with the old with the newer, not 778 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: quite new. But there's a report that the Warriors they 779 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 2: are prioritizing a trade for Paul George over negotiating a 780 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 2: new contract with Klay Thompson. And listen, Paul George is 781 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 2: not a spring chicken. You know, he's not in his 782 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 2: twenties anymore, his early twenties. But Klay Thompson, look, man, 783 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 2: He's been a sensational player for the Warriors. We all 784 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 2: know the history, won multiple championship, one of the two 785 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 2: Splash brothers with Steph Curry. We know the resume. But 786 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 2: his better days are behind him, There's no doubt about that. 787 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 2: And this makes sense for your viability here and now. 788 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 2: The Warriors with Paul George are much better than the 789 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 2: Warriors with Klay Thompson going forward. And I give the 790 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 2: Warriors credit for at least pursuing Paul George and pursuing 791 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 2: a better supporting cast around Steph Curry, who's still playing 792 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 2: at an incredibly high level. Some of these organizations they 793 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 2: just get too nostalgic. You know, you got to make 794 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: a tough decision. There are teams. Look at the NFL 795 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 2: that the Niners moved on from Joe Montana. You think 796 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 2: that was an easy decision. 797 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, it happens. 798 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 2: So I think the organizations that say we got to 799 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 2: rip the band aid off instead of like slowly taking 800 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 2: it off, you're just better ripping that thing off. And 801 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 2: it looks like that's what the Warriors are gonna do 802 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 2: with Klay Thompson. 803 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, It's exactly what they're gonna do. And frankly, 804 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad you made the comparison back to the NFL 805 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: because I played for one of the most machiavellian coaches 806 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: of all time in Bill Belichick, and during my three 807 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: years with the New England Patriots, I witnessed things like 808 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: this happen where a player, you know, falls out of 809 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: grace and gets moved on from and and even if 810 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: it's not a fall from grace, even if it's just 811 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: a salary cap thing, even if it's just a hey, 812 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: we don't want this guy to get on his next 813 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: contract with us, So we're going to trade him to Houston, 814 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: or we're gonna trade him to Denver, or we're gonna 815 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: trade him to Cleveland, and we're gonna have his next 816 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: contract be with somebody else, because yeah, he's got like 817 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: two or three really good years left, but then what 818 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: after that? And he wants a long term deal, so 819 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: not here, not now that we're not interested. And that 820 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: was Bill Belichick. Year after year after year, you saw 821 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: star players in New England move on with their career elsewhere, 822 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: and even if they were productive players in the league, 823 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots continue to find ways to win, 824 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: and whatever player they moved on from had a couple 825 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: of good years left in them, and oftentimes those were 826 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: the final couple good years left in him. You know, 827 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, Bill did it to Tom. He did 828 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: it to Tom Brady like he was the franchise and 829 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, nobody was bigger than the Patriot way in 830 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,919 Speaker 1: the end. So look, I mean that wasn't the best 831 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: example because obviously after Tom left, Bill shortly followed him 832 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: because they couldn't get it right a quarterback. But you 833 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: catch my drift. What's happening with Klay Thompson is to me, 834 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors trying to tear the band aid off, 835 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, and that's a difficult process to undergo. 836 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 3: If they don't think they can win a title with 837 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 3: Klay Thompson, then you need to move on. I mean, 838 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 3: it's just because the amount of money that he's going 839 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 3: to command. And we talk about this in the NFL world. 840 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 3: It's not as prevalent in other sports as it is 841 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 3: in the NBA. The salaries that these guys make in 842 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 3: the NBA is it's getting I mean, I'll read you 843 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 3: a line of so I was doing a little bit 844 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 3: of research in this story, and I'll read you the 845 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 3: line where I just stopped and said, yeah, this is crazy. 846 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 3: George has until Saturday to exercise a forty eight million 847 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 3: dollar player option with the Clippers. That is an absurd 848 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 3: amount of money for an option on a deal, and 849 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 3: I don't know how it's gonna play out. I always 850 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 3: am hesitant to really make a claim on the player 851 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 3: movement situations before they happen, because you need to look 852 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 3: at it from the agent and the player's perspective. The 853 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 3: information that gets put out before the news really breaks. 854 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's it's correct. Most of the time it's laced 855 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 3: with some kind of bias based on whichever camp release 856 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 3: the information. So I always try to be hesitant when 857 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 3: I'm you know, really making a claim and yeah, this 858 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 3: is gonna happen, when I just you just don't know 859 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 3: what these trades and with the way that the stuff 860 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 3: happens behind the scenes, But it does look like that 861 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 3: there's some legit smoke to this story that there's gonna 862 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,439 Speaker 3: be some kind of blockbuster trade that will send Paul 863 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 3: George to the Bay. And I think if we do 864 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 3: fast forward to the point that the deal happens, you 865 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 3: take Klay Thompson off, you put Paul George on. I mean, 866 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 3: does it make the Warriors a contender? I think they're better. 867 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 3: I think they're a little bit better defensively. I think 868 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 3: there may be a little bit longer, a little bit leaner, 869 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 3: But I don't know if they're better equipped to win 870 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 3: a title. I don't know if that's the answer. Just 871 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 3: basically replacing Paul George with Klay Thompson, like, it doesn't 872 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 3: seem like that much of an upgrade to where all 873 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 3: of a sudden, yeah, uh yeah, they're the contenders now. 874 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 3: I think I think they get better, but I don't 875 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:32,919 Speaker 3: know how much better. 876 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 1: They would certainly be better. 877 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 2: Could like look at last year where the Warriors they 878 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 2: finished in tenth place in the West and they got 879 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 2: their teeth kicked in by the Kings in the nine 880 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 2: to ten matchup of the play. 881 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 3: In you know what I mean, Like they called George 882 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 3: kicked that magically. 883 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 2: I don't know, right, I hear what you're saying. 884 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: I get it. 885 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 2: I'm not saying, hey, look out for the Warriors to 886 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 2: come out of the West if they get Paul George. 887 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 2: But it would be a basketball crime to not surround 888 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 2: Steph Curry with as good of a supporting cast as 889 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 2: you can agreed. And Klay Thompson has been a tremendous 890 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 2: player for the Warriors. I love Klay Thompson with the Warriors, 891 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 2: but his better days are behind him. He was coming 892 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 2: off the bench mostly in this past season, and the 893 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 2: arrow is not pointing up going forward for him or 894 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 2: for the Warriors if they still have him. And this 895 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 2: is a tough decision that good organizations make, Like it's 896 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 2: not good enough to bring Clay back, and what are 897 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 2: you gonna do? 898 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 3: Before each game, like have a little highlight reel. 899 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 2: On the jumbo tron of them winning a title from 900 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 2: like twenty fifteen or whatever, you know what I mean, Like, 901 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 2: it's not gonna help the here and now to live 902 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 2: off of the past. And I know Staph that's his guy, 903 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 2: But he'll come around. You know, there's nothing great about 904 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 2: being tenth in the West with your guys. 905 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: You know, he'll come around. 906 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 2: If he's got a better supporting cast, then they're winning 907 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 2: a lot more than they're losing. 908 00:47:58,680 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 3: Well. 909 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: And also from Clay standpoint, I mean, just look at 910 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: some of the headlines about his time with the Warriors 911 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: coming to an end. It's like, you know, is Clay 912 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 1: good enough to make a title run? Or is Clay? 913 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 1: Is Clay the problem in Golden State? Whereas when you 914 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: look at what's ahead of him, since you know, now 915 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: we're talking about a Paul George trade, now we're talking 916 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: about a Klay Thompson. You know, I don't know if 917 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: he goes to Denver, if he goes to Dallas, but 918 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: a Western Conference team is looking to poach him, all 919 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: of these headlines are way more positive. Mavericks could be 920 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 1: favorites to land Klay Thompson, Luka Doncic his final missing 921 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 1: piece for the title. Ready Mavericks Klay Thompson, Like all 922 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, all these positive headlines start coming out. 923 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,720 Speaker 1: If you're Klay Thompson, You're going you know, I'm getting 924 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: raked over the colts here by this organization I've been 925 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 1: I've been privileged to play with and interested to continue 926 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: my career with. But it's looking better elsewhere. So yeah, 927 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: maybe it's hard right now in the near term, but 928 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: maybe those hard feelings they get Yeah, you come back 929 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 1: around and they become good feelings again once you have 930 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of success elsewhere, or once you face 931 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: that harsh reality that hey, even with the different team, 932 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: it still didn't work out. Maybe I was the problem. 933 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 1: Maybe it was it was my diminishing skill set that 934 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 1: was the issue in Golden State. And then you have 935 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: a little bit more perspective. But until that time, I 936 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a little bit of a 937 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: souring between Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors. But 938 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: all parties will move on because that's what people do 939 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: in sports. You know, people don't buy jerseys because they 940 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: love the players. Typically people buy jerseys because they love 941 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 1: the teams and the names are interchangeable. You know, a 942 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: Lakers fan is a Lakers fan. There's gonna be Lakers 943 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: fans who love the fact that lebron James signed and 944 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: are going to be supportive of Bronnie James. And guess what, 945 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: they'll be supportive of whoever it is in the future 946 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,919 Speaker 1: who gets signed there. It's just the way sports work. 947 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the approach to this story. Like, obviously 948 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 3: the headline is Paul George, you know, maybe gets traded 949 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 3: to Golden State and you know, Klay thompson era is over. 950 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 3: But the positive spin is, well, now Klay Thompson can 951 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 3: start a second chapter somewhere else, right and maybe win 952 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 3: a title. I mean, let's be honest, We're not Klay 953 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 3: Thompson on the Warriors not a title contender. Even Paul 954 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 3: George on the Warriors probably still not a title contender, better, 955 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 3: but not a title contender. How about Klay Thompson on 956 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 3: the Mavericks, who just went to the NBA Finals and 957 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 3: who have Kyrie Irving and Luka Dancik All right, well 958 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 3: that that. 959 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: Could be something interesting. 960 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 3: And you know that's where all the rumor Mills are 961 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 3: kind of spinning right now. Of course, Dallas just cleaned 962 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 3: out a bunch of cap space by de Linke Tim Hardaway, 963 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 3: which I think, if you kind of play it out logically, 964 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 3: is the appetizer to bringing in another I don't want 965 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 3: to say high end, but I still put Klay Thompson 966 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,719 Speaker 3: on the top half of the league in terms of 967 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,320 Speaker 3: player talent and all experience and all that stuff. So 968 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 3: that is a great positive spin to this story. Obviously, 969 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 3: we just talked about it with the A and M 970 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 3: stuff with baseball, right like the emotions of leaving a 971 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 3: team or a franchise or a program that you've spent 972 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 3: time building that you felt like you were a lifer for. 973 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 3: There is emotional separation anxiety that happens there. But I'm 974 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 3: a glass half ful guy. I mean, I think that's 975 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 3: the right way to look at this story. Is Klay 976 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 3: Thompson is about to get a second chance, a second chapter, 977 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 3: probably on a contender, and what kind of you know, 978 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 3: how does he make the best of that opportunity. 979 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it could be interesting going forward. I hope 980 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 2: that he is on a contender. I hope he's not, 981 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: you know, and something crazy like that where it's like, 982 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 2: oh gosh, this is even worse than what was going 983 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 2: on with the Warriors. But I hear you, trust me, 984 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 2: I hear you what you're saying, Jared. While we're talking NBA, 985 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,359 Speaker 2: let me throw this out at you. Isaac Lohan Kron 986 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 2: has mentioned it where the Hawks they are trading de 987 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 2: Jontay Murray to the Pelicans. So I think two layers 988 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 2: to this one. The Pelicans they're a team that's good 989 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 2: enough to be in the mix in the West, at 990 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 2: least be a playoff team. They're not good enough to 991 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 2: go anywhere, even if they have better health from Zion. 992 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,800 Speaker 2: They're just that team where they're not good enough to 993 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 2: get anywhere significant. But I give them credit for trying 994 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 2: and they get the Jontay Murray. The thing that is 995 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 2: more interesting to me is with the Hawks because the 996 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,359 Speaker 2: Trey Young de Jonte Murray combo just never worked out. 997 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what would have worked out though, Luka 998 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:55,240 Speaker 2: Doncic de Jontey Murray combo. If the Hawks had stuck 999 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 2: with Luka Doncic instead of making a trade on draft 1000 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 2: with Dallas. If Atlanta has Luca instead of Tray Young, 1001 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 2: it's a much better and much different scenario in the East. 1002 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 2: You imagine Luca in the East. Trey Young is a 1003 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 2: good player. I'm not saying he is. He's not Luka Doncic. 1004 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 2: So imagine where the Hawks would be if they made 1005 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:24,520 Speaker 2: one decision differently and had Luca, like the the that's 1006 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 2: like the butterfly effect. There are so many things that 1007 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 2: are changed going forward if they have Luca instead of 1008 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 2: Trey Young. 1009 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it really is true. You know, we can 1010 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: retrace the steps constantly. We do this with quarterbacks in 1011 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,400 Speaker 1: the NFL all the time. You know, one team picks 1012 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: a bust, another team picks you know, hits on their pick, 1013 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,800 Speaker 1: and it's afterward and it's like, well, geez, you know 1014 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 1: that team that picked the bus, they had the shot 1015 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: going at Yeah, how many teams could have had Josh Allen, 1016 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, it's that old story. 1017 00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you, Brian, But that's that's sports. 1018 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: Because also, would Luca have worked out as well if 1019 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 1: he went to Atlanta? You know, I mean probably, I 1020 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: mean you most likely, but you never know. And and 1021 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: that's that's the thing about it. I will say this though, 1022 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 1: going back to Clay, I know, it probably wouldn't have 1023 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 1: worked out as well for Steph without Clay. It probably 1024 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't have worked out as well with Clay without Staph. Interesting. 1025 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: Those two guys, I really honestly think needed each other, 1026 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: and I think I think that's the hardest part of 1027 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,799 Speaker 1: this story for Clay is the whole splash brothers thing. 1028 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, we came up in this league together and 1029 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 1: one of us is getting washed out first. It's it's 1030 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: the it's the ruthless, most unfair part of sports is 1031 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: the fact that you know, the sport, the team, the league, 1032 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,839 Speaker 1: the championships, they don't care about feelings. You know, all 1033 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,799 Speaker 1: that needs to be set up because at the end 1034 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: of the day, everybody wants to, you know, hoist the 1035 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,840 Speaker 1: Larry O'Brien in the NBA or you know, Super Bowl Trophy, 1036 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,280 Speaker 1: a Lombardi Trophy in the NFL, Stanley Cup in the NHL, 1037 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,320 Speaker 1: and you have to be a ruthless practitioner of what 1038 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: needs to be done in order to do that. And 1039 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: I think unfortunately for Clay Thompson, he is on the 1040 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: wrong end of it with the Golden State Warriors in 1041 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: terms of what his future looks like. 1042 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,959 Speaker 3: So my follow up to this, and I'm curious both 1043 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 3: of your takes. If we had to set odds today, 1044 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,319 Speaker 3: who wins a title first? Or will yes? No, will 1045 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 3: this player win a championship? Again, let's go with who 1046 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:49,239 Speaker 3: will win a title first? Clay or Steph? Who's the 1047 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 3: favorite there right now? Now we don't know where Clay's 1048 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 3: gonna go, but we know Steph's situation and we kind 1049 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 3: of think we know where Clay's going. Do you think 1050 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 3: Clay is the favorite to win the title first? Between 1051 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 3: him and Steph? 1052 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 2: It's a great question, right, I think it's more likely 1053 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 2: that neither wins a time. 1054 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: Probably, But. 1055 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 3: First, who would be the favorite to win one first? 1056 00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,759 Speaker 2: We all know Steph is the much better player at 1057 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 2: this stage, but Clay, who knows where he goes, if 1058 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 2: he's just a role player on a teams better, Yeah, 1059 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:29,760 Speaker 2: he would have a better chance. 1060 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 1: It could be Clay, yeah, I think because he gets 1061 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: to call a shot a little bit here, you know. 1062 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: Whereas the Golden State Warriors, I'm not going to say 1063 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: they're stuck, but you know they're looking to trade for 1064 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,399 Speaker 1: Paul George, who's old and expensive. Now I'm not saying 1065 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 1: he isn't capable and he isn't that old, but like 1066 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned, Brian, he's not a spring chicken, and you 1067 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 1: know you're you're definitely upgrading there, but you're also limiting 1068 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 1: what you can do on this roster because whether you're 1069 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: paying Clay or you're paying Paul George, you're paying somebody, 1070 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,319 Speaker 1: which means that whoever that person you're paying is better 1071 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 1: be that much better or or earn every single dollar 1072 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 1: you're paying them, because you're not gonna have a whole 1073 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 1: lot of money to build a supporting cast around Steph 1074 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 1: and Paul George or Stephan Clay if they were to 1075 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,919 Speaker 1: keep him. So that's that's the problem with the Golden 1076 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: State Warriors is they're going to be leaning heavily on 1077 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: a on an aged Steph Curry, and whoever they bring 1078 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: in to be his wingman, it better click fast because 1079 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: if it doesn't, how many tomorrows does Steph Curry have 1080 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: in the league? The answer is not not that many. 1081 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't think they had a second round pick, right. 1082 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 3: Did the Warriors even draft a player last night or 1083 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 3: the last couple of days. 1084 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: I don't. 1085 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 3: I don't recall them having a pick, and I know 1086 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 3: the draft isn't as important as it is like the 1087 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 3: NFL draft, where you have to rebuild from the draft. 1088 00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 3: You need five, six to seven guys every year that 1089 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 3: can get get on the field and play. I don't 1090 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 3: recall the Warriors stadium player, so it's all right there 1091 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 3: for you. 1092 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,479 Speaker 1: I'll be honest me. The only thing I recall about 1093 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: that made draft is Bronnie. 1094 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 2: Did not move the needle for you there super fast, 1095 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 2: super quick. So Klay Thompson, he was born in February 1096 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety. Paul George was born in May of 1097 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety. Yeah, so think about this. So Clay is 1098 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 2: thirty four years old and one hundred and forty two days. 1099 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 2: Paul George little less thirty four years old fifty eight days. 1100 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 3: Had some really gruesome injuries in their career. 1101 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 1: That's true. 1102 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 2: But what it shows you is because the Warriors have 1103 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 2: been in the playoffs so often, Klay Thompson feels way 1104 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,919 Speaker 2: older than he actually is. But Paul George is playing 1105 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 2: at a higher level. He was an All Star this 1106 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 2: past season, so it would be an upgrade. All right, 1107 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 2: We've got Rich heorn Berger, Penn State All American, Jared 1108 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 2: Smith FSR. Betting List. I'm Brian No coming up next. 1109 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 2: You know the Saw movies where the crazy guys like 1110 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 2: I want. 1111 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,120 Speaker 1: To not my favorite movies.

That guy was 1125 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: alive the whole time. 1126 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I didn't see that one coming spoiler alert, 1127 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 2: Yeah I know. 1128 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 1: Years ago.

Okay, 1131 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 2: two different stories for you. First one, JJ Reddick goes 1132 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 2: Andrew dice Clay. It is introductory press conference as Laker's 1133 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,000 Speaker 2: new head coach. He dropped many f bombs. It got 1134 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 2: quite the reaction. Did you think it was something or nothing? 1135 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 2: That he went dice in his introductory press conference? 1136 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Ooh, do I think it was something or nothing? I 1137 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 1: think it was something. I think that it is. It's 1138 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 1: almost like putting up the bat signal, like listen, guys, 1139 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the cool substitute teacher. All right, listen. 1140 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,960 Speaker 1: I know like your teachers are real square. But when 1141 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: I come to the classroom, like I mean homework, I'm 1142 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 1: gonna tear the homework up. This is this is the 1143 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: lesson planned she left us. I'm gonna wheel in the 1144 01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,160 Speaker 1: the television. We're gonna watch TV. You know it. It 1145 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 1: was a little bit of like him flexing on the situation, 1146 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like, you know, showing everybody 1147 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 1: immediately who he's going to be as a head coach. 1148 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: Like it's almost like, you know, the new sheriff gets hired, 1149 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: kicking his boots up on the old sheriff's desk and saying, 1150 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, like we're we're we're not doing things the 1151 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 1: same way they used to be done around here. You know. So, yeah, 1152 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 1: I think it's something. Yeah, it's something, but it's nothing 1153 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 1: for me personally. I don't care. I am. 1154 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 3: You know, I gamble every day, so like you know, 1155 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 3: curse words don't really you know, affect me. But you know, 1156 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 3: I is that on the spectrum of like my daily sins, 1157 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 3: like dropping an F bombs like you know, it's like 1158 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 3: beneath my feet, Like it's like, okay, no big deal. 1159 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 3: But I'm not the head coach of the Lakers. I'm 1160 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 3: sitting in a tank top of my and my computer 1161 01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 3: with my dog passed out on the couch, you know, 1162 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 3: betting on sports. This guy's on national TV giving a 1163 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 3: press conference for the most important franchise in the NBA, 1164 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 3: making their most important decision, you know, for a head coach, 1165 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 3: and you have to know that there's way more than 1166 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 3: just your average Joe watching, right, Like self awareness I 1167 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 3: think is the most It's a good thing and it's 1168 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 3: a bad thing. You don't have too much, just like 1169 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 3: anything else in life, moderation, you don't't have too much 1170 01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 3: self awareness. Then you over analyze every decision. But you 1171 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 3: have to have some self awareness. And I think when 1172 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 3: you're in the position of head coach of the Los 1173 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,959 Speaker 3: Angeles Lakers, self awareness is important. I would be willing 1174 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 3: to bet the over on amount of children watching the 1175 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 3: introductory press conference for the new head coach of the Lakers. 1176 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 3: And when I say children, I mean like, you know, teenagers, ten, 1177 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 3: fifteen years old. You're a Lakers fan, You're excited that 1178 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 3: they hired a new coach. You remember watching this coach 1179 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 3: play in the NBA, maybe you're old enough to watch 1180 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 3: him play at Duke and then the first words out 1181 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 3: of his mouth and if that, like, it's just like, 1182 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 3: what what example are you setting for that younger generation? 1183 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 3: And I know that's not JJ's job. It's his job 1184 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 3: to coach the Lakers, but when you're the head coach 1185 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 3: of a franchise like the Lakers, the job description is 1186 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 3: deeper than just coach the team. Like, there's way more 1187 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 3: to the job than that. And for a guy that's 1188 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,600 Speaker 3: been on TV for years now, I mean years he's 1189 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 3: been he's been an analyst, and he's podcast Like I 1190 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,320 Speaker 3: would expect someone of his background and education to have 1191 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 3: a little bit more self awareness of the situation. 1192 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: No, I hear you. 1193 01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 2: I think it's something too. I don't think it's the 1194 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 2: end of the world. I don't think this is a 1195 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:38,040 Speaker 2: gigantic deal. 1196 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: It was just odd. 1197 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, where He didn't just drop one or two. 1198 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:41,640 Speaker 1: He leaned in. 1199 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 2: Man, this was like Richard Pryor doing improv or so 1200 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 2: it was like, what like, listen if h Roger Goodell, 1201 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,720 Speaker 2: the commissioner of the NFL, if he's in an interview 1202 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,880 Speaker 2: and he's just dropping F BOMs, he'd be like, Roger, 1203 01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 2: what are you doing? 1204 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:56,080 Speaker 1: Man? 1205 01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 2: Like the what you represent? That's just not profession You 1206 01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 2: wouldn't do that in a job interview setting. There are 1207 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 2: just certain settings where it's just unprofessional to talk like that. 1208 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 2: And that's what I thought with JJ Reddick. Again, not 1209 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 2: the end of time, it just was unprofessional how he 1210 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 2: handled it. 1211 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, last thought on it from me. The reality of 1212 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 1: the situation is, like you mentioned, Jared, he has been 1213 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 1: broadcasting for a very long time. He would never do that. 1214 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: He would never drop multiple F bombs during an NBA 1215 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: Finals broadcast with ESPNABC. He wouldn't because guess what, they 1216 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 1: fire him. 1217 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 4: You know. 1218 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 1: It's like I said, you know, and Brian, I'm glad 1219 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: you brought this one up. I think this was symbolic. 1220 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:48,080 Speaker 1: I think he wanted to send a message and I'm 1221 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 1: not sure if you wanted to send a message to 1222 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:55,400 Speaker 1: Lakers saying like, hey, listen, folks, I got this job 1223 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,800 Speaker 1: because of Lebron, and I know that I could do 1224 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 1: whatever I want. I don't know if it was symbolic 1225 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,640 Speaker 1: to the players in the locker room, like, you know, 1226 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 1: this isn't going to be the same old song and 1227 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 1: dance that you used to you know, this isn't Frank Vogel, 1228 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:15,439 Speaker 1: this isn't this isn't Darvin Ham. I'm gonna I'm I'm 1229 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 1: gonna speak to you guys like players, you know. I 1230 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 1: don't know if it was I don't know if it 1231 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 1: was something that he wanted to extend to the fan base, 1232 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: like hey, listen, I'm trying to grab your attention and 1233 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 1: let you know that there's a new regime here that 1234 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be the same old song and dance 1235 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: where you know, uh, we're going to go out there 1236 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 1: and try and we're going to you know, fail in 1237 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then it's gonna be a rinse and 1238 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 1: repeat situation. Uh, and and I'm going to be scapegoaded 1239 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: with the bad news that you know, the Lakers, you know, 1240 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: failed to get it done. There was something symbolic here 1241 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: because he knows better, you know, he understood what he 1242 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 1: was doing, and he made a decision. I don't think, 1243 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, a couple off words slipped out of JJ 1244 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Reddick's mouth. I just think of him as more of 1245 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 1: a professional than that. So I think he professionally chose 1246 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 1: to use foul language. And it was for a reason 1247 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 1: that that really that reason we may never know, but 1248 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 1: it was absolutely for a reason. 1249 01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 3: That's an interesting theory, and I hadn't thought of that. 1250 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:28,280 Speaker 3: I could definitely see there being a strategy to that 1251 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,320 Speaker 3: press conference. I mean, you're you're you're a dullert if 1252 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 3: you don't go into a press conference like that was 1253 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 3: some sort of a plan. 1254 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 1: I guess. 1255 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,480 Speaker 3: The only exception is Adam Gaze, who would just stare 1256 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 3: blankly into space during his Jets introductory press conference and 1257 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 3: make us wonder why they would make that deal. 1258 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:48,280 Speaker 1: But I digress. Yeah, sorry, that's. 1259 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 3: The Adam Gas Jets era, which was like the weirdest 1260 01:06:55,320 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 3: error in my fandom history. Yeah that so you think 1261 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 3: it was a calculated move. Where JJ Reddick is saying, 1262 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 3: I'm right, what was that movie with Tom Hanks. 1263 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 2: I'm the captain now, like I was gonna go with 1264 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 2: Denzel Yeah, I'm the beef. 1265 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 3: In this case, right, Like, I mean, I do think 1266 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,520 Speaker 3: there is some validity to that. But my question is, 1267 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 3: why make it public? If your goal is to show 1268 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 3: the team, right, the players, that I'm a cool coach, 1269 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm the cool guy. I'm gonna use your language, why 1270 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 3: wouldn't you do that behind closed doors and literally drop 1271 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 3: an F bomb every single word out of your mouth 1272 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 3: and your first closed door meeting with the team, Like, 1273 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 3: I think, publicly showing that kind of behavior, I don't 1274 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 3: know if it has the same effect, right, I don't know. 1275 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I like your I like the way you're thinking, 1276 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 3: because I do think there's JJ Reddick probably saying, all right, 1277 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 3: how do I wrangle you know, how do I muster 1278 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 3: the rohegan and get the troops on my side? I 1279 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 3: guess that part of it. But why publicly? 1280 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 1: I Well, I I look at it two ways. It 1281 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 1: was either it was either that My another theory of 1282 01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,959 Speaker 1: mine is, you know, it's it's kind of a middle 1283 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: finger to the organization to say, like, I'm I'm a 1284 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 1: made man because I'm Lebron's guy. So don't don't think 1285 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: that I'm going to kowtow to you, Genie to you 1286 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Rob Polinka or anybody else in the Lakers universe, because 1287 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: we know who runs the show here and I'm protected 1288 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: by him. And and by the way, you're gonna draft 1289 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,800 Speaker 1: his son also a day later, you know. 1290 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 3: Or a backwards hat to the interview, true dude, and 1291 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 3: then and then the last thing it could have been, honestly, 1292 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 3: is almost like a stress reaction to the fact that 1293 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 3: this is a career defining moment for JJ Reddick, where 1294 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,120 Speaker 3: he goes, you know what I'm going to I'm going 1295 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 3: to let it all hang out, and I'm gonna talk 1296 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,719 Speaker 3: to the people like I would talk to my teammates 1297 01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,640 Speaker 3: like I would talk to my podcast listeners, like I 1298 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:00,839 Speaker 3: would talk to my friends. 1299 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 1: And they're gonna accept me or they're not.

Finally, the NHL held its 1336 01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 8: draft on Friday night at the Sphere in Las Vegas. 1337 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 8: It was a great spectacle and among the highlights the 1338 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 8: Montreal Canadians held the fifth overall pick in the draft, 1339 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:15,719 Speaker 8: so they had a Montreal area native and someone who's 1340 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:22,880 Speaker 8: obviously great connectedness to the Las Vegas entertainment scene announced 1341 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:27,080 Speaker 8: the pick.

So you're gonna 1355 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:22,799 Speaker 2: have the first ever meeting between Diana Tarassi and Caitlyn 1356 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 2: Clark tomorrow in the w NBA The Fever take on 1357 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:31,560 Speaker 2: the Mercury.

Listen to her answer here. 1359 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 5: Thoughts going to facing Kaman Park for the first time 1360 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 5: on Sunday. 1361 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be funny. That's it. 1362 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 2: No, it'll be fun Is this something or nothing? 1363 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Holy cow? Yeah, it is something? Both of these things. 1364 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,200 Speaker 1: The JJ Raddick thing was was this something? And now 1365 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 1: this Tarassie thing is a something. And and here's the 1366 01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,800 Speaker 1: reason why. It's either she's a loomin dominating the fact 1367 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: that she's tired of the attention that Caitlin Clark is 1368 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 1: getting and so she's not going to lean into this 1369 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: storyline or give them any bigger sound clip about you 1370 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 1: know how, she's a great steward for the game and 1371 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited to compete against one of the bright up 1372 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 1: and comers. It sort of feels like a torch passing 1373 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 1: situation and blah blah blah blah blah. It's something. It's 1374 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,760 Speaker 1: something mean. It means that there's a little bit of 1375 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 1: animosity here for one reason or another. 1376 01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting a little bit tired of it too, 1377 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,439 Speaker 3: because I think, at the end of the day, let's 1378 01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:42,720 Speaker 3: just play the games and we'll see what happens at Like, 1379 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 3: I'd be. 1380 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 1: More like, let's leave it at this. 1381 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 3: If something happens during the game, I'm more intrigued to 1382 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,439 Speaker 3: hear what Diana has to say afterwards. I think you 1383 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,879 Speaker 3: nailed it, Rich. I think the WNBA players, especially the veterans, 1384 01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:58,800 Speaker 3: and Diane's been around a long time. I mean, she's 1385 01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,800 Speaker 3: like one of the vets of the vets, Like she's 1386 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 3: hurt it all. She's seen it all. She's seen probably 1387 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 3: what like fifteen twenty rookie classes come in since she's been. 1388 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: In the league. 1389 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 3: She's probably just sick of the discourse. And it was 1390 01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 3: a short answer, and I think we're probably gonna overanalyze it. 1391 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,080 Speaker 3: But I feel like the post game is more interesting 1392 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,639 Speaker 3: to me. Because at this point, I think these players 1393 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 3: are just like, all right, yeah, it's gonna be fun. 1394 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 3: Let's just play the game already. 1395 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1396 01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 2: It's definitely something and uh look, I think that Diana 1397 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:34,160 Speaker 2: figured out something that other WNBA players need to figure 1398 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 2: out as well. If you're tired of the Caitlin Clark coverage, 1399 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:42,439 Speaker 2: do your part and stop talking about her. Yes, that's 1400 01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,800 Speaker 2: like that's step number one. There's she's still gonna be 1401 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,479 Speaker 2: talked about. That's not gonna eliminate everything, but it just 1402 01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,600 Speaker 2: enhances it. If these players keep talking about her and 1403 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,280 Speaker 2: keep talking about her, and keep talking about her and 1404 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 2: questioning why she's getting so much coverage, It's like, can 1405 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,120 Speaker 2: I just keep talking about her? 1406 01:14:58,200 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 1: I ap? 1407 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, So yeah, that's what's going on. Is I think 1408 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,559 Speaker 2: rich you're on point where listen, Diana's a competitive maniac. 1409 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:07,799 Speaker 2: And I mean that as a compliment. 1410 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 1: Yep. 1411 01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:10,599 Speaker 2: She's tired of Caitlyn getting all this shine and all 1412 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 2: this attention. So it's like, yeah, I'm not about to 1413 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,839 Speaker 2: give you a three minute SoundBite on Caitlyn Clark. 1414 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:17,560 Speaker 1: That's all it is. 1415 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,679 Speaker 2: All Right, We've got rich Oornberger, Penn State All American 1416 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 2: Jared Smith FSR betting analyst.

Starting to see this number 1431 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,479 Speaker 3: steam down. I saw some very prominent prop handicappers give 1432 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 3: it out last night. So you're gonna see some handle 1433 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,799 Speaker 3: on the under for Fraan Raveldez today in the strikeout department, 1434 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 3: he stayed under this in nine of thirteen starts five 1435 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 3: or six on the road. Traditionally a you know, lower 1436 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 3: strikeout rate on the road. That that's not a surprise. 1437 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,600 Speaker 3: What is a surprise is how good and stingy the 1438 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,120 Speaker 3: Mets had been as an offense. This year, a very 1439 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,080 Speaker 3: high contact team, a strikeout rate below twenty percent against 1440 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 3: lefties on the year, and again. 1441 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Velo has been a little bit down. 1442 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,680 Speaker 3: For Valdez, we haven't seen that elite stuff from him 1443 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 3: throughout the course of the year. So I think under 1444 01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 3: five and a half strikeouts against these red hot Metropolitans. 1445 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: Very good prop bet today for you. Okay, like that? 1446 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 1: All right? 1447 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:48,120 Speaker 9: I like it. 1448 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the Dodgers over the San Francisco Giants, 1449 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 1: all right, So Dodgers started Tyler class Now. He's been 1450 01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:03,760 Speaker 1: a strikeout king through the month of June. Yeah, so 1451 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 1: far four starts through June, nine strikeouts, twelve strikeouts, nine strikeouts, 1452 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:13,400 Speaker 1: ten strikeouts in his last start. Look, the Giants, their 1453 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 1: problems aren't really their offense. Their problems are more with 1454 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 1: their pitching staff. They've been injured. But Tyler Glasnow is 1455 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,040 Speaker 1: having one of those years where he can't be denied 1456 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 1: when he's on the mound. Right now, the numbers clock 1457 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 1: at seven and a half. I'm gonna take the over 1458 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:33,160 Speaker 1: on total strikeouts today, Tyler glass Now against that San 1459 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,639 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants offense. Okay. 1460 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 2: I find this to be interesting because if you go 1461 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 2: to bed MGM. At the very top, they will have 1462 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 2: parlayed builders. Oh yeah, and so it gives you a 1463 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:50,120 Speaker 2: list of players that will record a hit today, right 1464 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 2: or at least that's the line. So say like jor 1465 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 2: Don Alvarez to record one plus hits that's at minus 1466 01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:58,400 Speaker 2: two point fifty. 1467 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,959 Speaker 1: And so it gives you a list of about eight players. 1468 01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 1: And immediately I think, why are you trying to do me. 1469 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,680 Speaker 2: Any favors here, AGM? 1470 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,960 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, hey, kind of like 1471 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,599 Speaker 1: build your parlay with these guys. 1472 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,280 Speaker 3: They only have to get one hit, right, come on, 1473 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 3: they're should yes. 1474 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 2: So I look at matt Olsen of the Braves, You're 1475 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,719 Speaker 2: going up against the pirate today, and our guy Jared 1476 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:30,200 Speaker 2: Paul Skeens, you know, oh yeah, And so the parlay 1477 01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 2: builder is for matt Olsen to record at least one 1478 01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:36,439 Speaker 2: hit that's at minus one eighty five. Let's go the 1479 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:41,599 Speaker 2: other way, Okay, let's go under zero point five hits. 1480 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,240 Speaker 2: He's gotta go hitless. Matt Olsen at plus one forty. 1481 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 2: What do we think here, guys? 1482 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,840 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, your instinct is correct, and we 1483 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,559 Speaker 3: love that MGM. They do fantastic work. But when they're 1484 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 3: trying to give you a bet, your initial reaction should 1485 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 3: be what did you do to poison food here? And 1486 01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 3: why are you giving me free food? That should be 1487 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 3: and again we love they're not trying to intentionally maliciously get. 1488 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 1: You to lose. 1489 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 3: But usually the things they put on sale are the 1490 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 3: things that they are trying to give away. Yeah, no, 1491 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,760 Speaker 3: one say so, Yes, it's good to stay away from 1492 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:19,200 Speaker 3: that stuff. 1493 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: Usual it's the the free T shirts of the team 1494 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:23,720 Speaker 1: that didn't win the. 1495 01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 3: Championship, you know, the scallops that have been here for 1496 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:29,640 Speaker 3: a week. We're just trying to get rid of. 1497 01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you don't want to have you 1498 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,559 Speaker 1: don't want to go to the discount buffet. But no, yeah, 1499 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: so I think your in sticks are correct. I'll give 1500 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,240 Speaker 1: you another one with San Francisco, or excuse me, with 1501 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres in Boston, Jerks and profar if 1502 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,960 Speaker 1: you haven't been paying attention to the outfielder who probably 1503 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 1: will be a starter in the All Star Game if 1504 01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 1: he continues on the base he's on. He's been red 1505 01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,160 Speaker 1: hot at the plate. I'm gonna take the over on 1506 01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 1: one and a half basis today this guy has gotten 1507 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 1: on base a fleet in the past five games, he's 1508 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 1: he's been unbelievably productive for the Padres, and he's on 1509 01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,600 Speaker 1: a heater because there's been a little animosity over the 1510 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 1: past couple of series. He got into it with the 1511 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 1: Nationals catcher and then rope the single an RBI single 1512 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 1: out the you know, right center. I mean, it's been 1513 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,760 Speaker 1: fun to watch. So jerks in profar take the over 1514 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,240 Speaker 1: on the one and a half basis today, I like it. 1515 01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:28,400 Speaker 1: Padre's meeting up a little bit Todds. 1516 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 3: They're a very dangerous team. I saw them plus money 1517 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:32,800 Speaker 3: recently to make the playoffs. My guess is they're not 1518 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 3: plus money in that category along, especially if the Dodgers 1519 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:35,760 Speaker 3: keep losing games. 1520 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 1: That's true. Baseball is crazy, you know. 1521 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 2: I'm just thinking like one hitter one team, red hot 1522 01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,160 Speaker 2: one day, ice cold the next day, Like. 1523 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 3: What's going on over it? It's the way it goes. 1524 01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:48,000 Speaker 3: But it could be a good pick. Rich all right? 1525 01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 2: Coming up next? Is there maybe a method to Rich's madness? 1526 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:52,200 Speaker 1: Oh? 1527 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,320 Speaker 2: What's going on? Happy Saturday to you. So there was 1528 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,599 Speaker 2: a story that came out a couple of days ago, 1529 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 2: and it made me stuck and think is there a 1530 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 2: method to Rich's madness? 1531 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 6: Now? 1532 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,600 Speaker 2: Against my better judgment here, Fellas, I'm gonna play this 1533 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 2: out for you, because so the NCUBA they announced with 1534 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 2: very little attention that they're no longer going to test 1535 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 2: players for cannabinoids. Right, I had a championship games in 1536 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 2: college football, it's like. And also, suspensions currently served by 1537 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:29,839 Speaker 2: players are set to be lifted. 1538 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,400 Speaker 1: So if you got popped for. 1539 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,560 Speaker 3: Weed, a little token action here and there, you know 1540 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:36,639 Speaker 3: you're good. 1541 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 2: You've been pardoned, you know. And so where my mind 1542 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:45,400 Speaker 2: went there used to be such a stigma with marijuana, 1543 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:50,479 Speaker 2: and in the NFL, you're suspended. Think about Randy Gregory, right, 1544 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 2: how many times he's been suspended in the NFL for 1545 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,560 Speaker 2: a little mary J action on the side. And you know, 1546 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 2: college football they've tested for this for the longest time. 1547 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 2: And now it's just like ask screw it, just have 1548 01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,760 Speaker 2: at it, you know, really, it's what it is. And 1549 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 2: so my mind went to your argument, Rich, where there's 1550 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,120 Speaker 2: such a stigma with gambling. Right now, now I still 1551 01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:20,479 Speaker 2: think you're crazy, but this story at least makes me say, 1552 01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,840 Speaker 2: could maybe one day with the betting line being plus 1553 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:31,880 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand, you know what I mean. Could the NBA, NFL, MLB, 1554 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 2: Could they relax their gambling standards so much to the 1555 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 2: point where hey, you can gamble at the facility on 1556 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 2: everything but the sport you play. Could it one day 1557 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,400 Speaker 2: go to the point where hey, you can even gamble 1558 01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 2: on the sport you play. 1559 01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,679 Speaker 1: I don't see that ever happening. 1560 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,639 Speaker 2: But this NCAA story where it's like, we're not even 1561 01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,080 Speaker 2: testing for marijuana anymore. 1562 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,440 Speaker 1: Have at it. That has changed so dramatically. 1563 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 2: It makes me wonder what we're going to see in 1564 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 2: ten twenty years as far as gambling in these professional 1565 01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 2: sports leagues. 1566 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,479 Speaker 1: What a difference a year makes, because I remember it 1567 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,799 Speaker 1: was prior to last offseason we were having this argument 1568 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 1: and you were so dug in and you were like, 1569 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:23,000 Speaker 1: never rich never, never dug it. I never have it. 1570 01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,719 Speaker 1: But I will say this, I'll take it a step farther. 1571 01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 1: I don't think, not only do I think that the 1572 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,040 Speaker 1: stigma is going to be lifted, I think it's gonna 1573 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:37,360 Speaker 1: be a much shorter on ramp to the stigma, or 1574 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 1: should I should say, for it to be destigmatized in 1575 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 1: the NFL, in pro sports in general. I think at 1576 01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 1: some point we're gonna see NFL players sign contracts or 1577 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball players signed contracts, and somewhere in the 1578 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 1: language of the contract, they're going to take a portion 1579 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 1: of the money they're gonna earn, and it's gonna go 1580 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 1: into one of their betting account on them to win 1581 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,880 Speaker 1: a World Series over the next five seasons or the 1582 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: length of the contract, or they're gonna work something out 1583 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:09,960 Speaker 1: with one of the sports books so that they get 1584 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 1: some acknowledgment at the signing of the contracts, like you 1585 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 1: know whoever. Dak Prescott's new contract with the Dallas Cowboys 1586 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,679 Speaker 1: includes a Super Bowl clause where he's going to set 1587 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,640 Speaker 1: aside one hundred thousand dollars and you know if the 1588 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: Dallas you know, whatever it is, you know says say 1589 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 1: some sports book took you know, some crazy odds on it, 1590 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:37,920 Speaker 1: and Dak ends up making tens or ten million dollars 1591 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,280 Speaker 1: on a win if they go to the Super Bowl 1592 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 1: and win the thing over his five year contract, and 1593 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,840 Speaker 1: then he donates half of it to a charity of 1594 01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,240 Speaker 1: his choosing, or you know, I don't know, maybe he 1595 01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 1: has a charity like Dak's Pack, right, it's going to 1596 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 1: Dax's pack his charity and what a great story. And 1597 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, so now bet MGM or whatever you know, 1598 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 1: sports book gets all the positive. That's where I think 1599 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,600 Speaker 1: this is headache. I think that it's gonna be destigmatized 1600 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,280 Speaker 1: quickly because the NFL is going to find a way 1601 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,840 Speaker 1: to make a tremendous amount of money, or Major League 1602 01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,559 Speaker 1: Baseball or the NBA when it comes to money, fellas, 1603 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't think these sports leagues will ever turn down 1604 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,840 Speaker 1: a dollar. So that's the reason why I think the 1605 01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,000 Speaker 1: the betting stigma is gonna be lifted sooner than later, 1606 01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,240 Speaker 1: because it's already happening. A lot of the stigmas are 1607 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:30,480 Speaker 1: falling by the wayside. 1608 01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say two things. First of all, on the 1609 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 3: cannabis story, It's about time. I mean, this is like 1610 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,600 Speaker 3: we have medical you know, doctors out there saying that 1611 01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,800 Speaker 3: this stuff is medicine. Can we just move on from 1612 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:45,920 Speaker 3: the stigma of this already? I mean I can walk 1613 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 3: into a dispensary here in Vegas like it's fricking seven 1614 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,680 Speaker 3: to eleven, Like I'm buying a slurpee, Like it's just 1615 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:55,599 Speaker 3: like a completely different world, right, Yeah, it's wild out 1616 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,160 Speaker 3: here in Vegas now, I think that this is the 1617 01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,519 Speaker 3: extreme end of it here in Vegas, right see the city. 1618 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,280 Speaker 3: It's a little more buttoned up in other parts of 1619 01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 3: the country, but I think it's becoming We're unbuttoning the 1620 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,840 Speaker 3: top button as we speak, and maybe even we're past 1621 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 3: the top button at this point. It is something that 1622 01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,040 Speaker 3: I think will be not even thought, it'll be an 1623 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,479 Speaker 3: afterthought in in future generations to. 1624 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:20,479 Speaker 1: The gambling stuff. 1625 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,560 Speaker 3: I think we're so unlike unlike marijuana, we are so 1626 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:29,840 Speaker 3: early on in this process that we don't have the data, 1627 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,840 Speaker 3: the research, all like years of you know, figuring out 1628 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 3: what's the best approach, what are the right rules, what 1629 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,599 Speaker 3: are the right regulations. The regulatory part of this business 1630 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 3: is going through a massive upheaval, Like not even the 1631 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,960 Speaker 3: sportsbooks know half the time what the rules are in 1632 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 3: which state depending on if you're in this state or 1633 01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 3: if you're in that state, it changes and this and that. 1634 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 3: It is a hornet's nest of regulatory red tape, and 1635 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,760 Speaker 3: we have a lot to cut through first before I 1636 01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 3: think we get to riches. You you know, the society 1637 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,760 Speaker 3: where people can gamble on their own sports that they play, 1638 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 3: and like we have like that's like step one million. 1639 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,720 Speaker 3: We're on like step seven right now. Of And I 1640 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 3: always tell people, you know, gambling, it's it's so it's 1641 01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:20,640 Speaker 3: been so exciting the growth of it and and how 1642 01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 3: much it's taken over our society. And then I take 1643 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,040 Speaker 3: a step back and realize that we're in like the 1644 01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 3: third inning of this, Like even half the states are 1645 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 3: just barely legalized, like California, Texas, Like these are major, 1646 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 3: major hubs of populations in our country that haven't even 1647 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 3: been legalized yet. Like we are still figuring out how 1648 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 3: to do this thing right. It will take. I don't 1649 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:47,840 Speaker 3: want to say we're going to be long gone by 1650 01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:49,920 Speaker 3: the time we figure it out, but I don't think 1651 01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:51,679 Speaker 3: it's gonna happen anytime in this generation. 1652 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't either. 1653 01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 2: I don't think we're ever ever going to get to 1654 01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 2: a point where players are allowed to gamble on the 1655 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,599 Speaker 2: sport that they play. We're not going from Pete Rose 1656 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:09,320 Speaker 2: having a lifetime ban to like Elie Dela Cruz taking 1657 01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:10,799 Speaker 2: the red season win. 1658 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,280 Speaker 1: Total over you know what I mean. 1659 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,200 Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen because the difference between marijuana and 1660 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:21,439 Speaker 2: betting is that marijuana is not something that could alter 1661 01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 2: the outcome of these games. But if you're betting, if 1662 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 2: you're a player and you can just bet on your 1663 01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 2: own props and then just take the under and suspiciously 1664 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 2: you just didn't hit a shot that night, you know 1665 01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:39,760 Speaker 2: you can't have as these leagues your fans questioning on 1666 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:44,240 Speaker 2: a daily basis if the results are legitimate, you can't 1667 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 2: have that. And so that's why you're never gonna see 1668 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 2: players being allowed to bet on their own sport. I 1669 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,719 Speaker 2: could see a time in the not too distant future 1670 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,040 Speaker 2: where players are allowed to bet on all other sports, 1671 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,439 Speaker 2: even if it's at the facility. I think it's dumb 1672 01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 2: how the NFL has that laid out. It's like you're 1673 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 2: suspending guys on technicalities because they took the Celtics to 1674 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,920 Speaker 2: win the NBA Championship and they were in the locker room. 1675 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 2: That's just dumb to me. I can see that changing. 1676 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 2: I can never ever see players being allowed to bet 1677 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:22,040 Speaker 2: on their own sport because immediately you are questioning if 1678 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:26,040 Speaker 2: everything you're watching is legit, if it's valid. You can't 1679 01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:27,800 Speaker 2: have that as professional sports league. 1680 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 1: No, No, I get it, and similar arguments, though not 1681 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:36,400 Speaker 1: the same, but similar arguments were made about marijuana and sports. 1682 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 1: You know, the whole idea of like, you know these 1683 01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:43,600 Speaker 1: we can't support this sport because you know there's no 1684 01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 1: integrity amongst these players. You know, what kind of role 1685 01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 1: models are they for our children? Now understand, integrity in 1686 01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:54,519 Speaker 1: terms of betting is different than moral integrity, but they 1687 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 1: kind of fall under similar categories. And I think a 1688 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,360 Speaker 1: lot of people would be able to wrap their heads, 1689 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:07,760 Speaker 1: excuse me around a player betting on his team to win, 1690 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:12,080 Speaker 1: especially if it's uh, you know, you know, brought to 1691 01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 1: you by this sportsbook. You know, whether it's Josh Allen, 1692 01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:20,759 Speaker 1: you know he's taking the over on the Bills winning 1693 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,519 Speaker 1: ten and a half games this season, or you know 1694 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or Justin Herbert with the Chargers. You know, 1695 01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 1: a new head coach. He's really excited for this season, 1696 01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,120 Speaker 1: so much so that he yeah, go ahead, real fast. 1697 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:39,120 Speaker 2: Though, what if they bet the under? Well, see about that? 1698 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:40,280 Speaker 2: Then that's the thing. 1699 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,400 Speaker 1: I think you would have a stipulation for all these 1700 01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:47,439 Speaker 1: players that they they can't bet against their team. So 1701 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 1: you can't you can't have a situation where a player 1702 01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,760 Speaker 1: is betting against their team for a different team, or 1703 01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 1: betting against their chances to have success. Like because well 1704 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:03,200 Speaker 1: it is. But at the same token, again, we look 1705 01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,800 Speaker 1: at these sports leagues and look at what they're all doing. 1706 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:09,600 Speaker 1: They're expanding laterally, you know what I mean, Like the 1707 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:12,439 Speaker 1: NBA the draft. We were just joking around about it, 1708 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,599 Speaker 1: but you know, the first I mean, the first player 1709 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,840 Speaker 1: taken in the draft. We can't even pronounce his name. 1710 01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 1: You know, he's a foreign born player, you know. So 1711 01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:23,600 Speaker 1: like the international expansion of these sports leagues. You know, 1712 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,839 Speaker 1: it's happening in the NFL. We have games in South Paulow, 1713 01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 1: we have games in Mexico City, we have games in London, England, 1714 01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:33,720 Speaker 1: we have games in Germany. Now pretty soon it's going 1715 01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:36,799 Speaker 1: to spread to Asia. We're gonna have you know, NFL 1716 01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,160 Speaker 1: games kicking off in Asia. I guarantee it. It's gonna 1717 01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:42,320 Speaker 1: happen this decade. You know, these things, it's all this 1718 01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:46,920 Speaker 1: lateral expansion. Imagine if the NFL wakes up one day 1719 01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,559 Speaker 1: and they realize, you know, what, the climate is right, 1720 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,680 Speaker 1: maybe we could start digging vertically and we don't have 1721 01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,400 Speaker 1: to expand so much, you know, and and find new 1722 01:31:56,560 --> 01:32:01,320 Speaker 1: populations to imbue with our sport. We could dig vertically 1723 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:04,160 Speaker 1: and we could find more money doing what we do 1724 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:09,519 Speaker 1: right here countryside, like we could, we could start, we 1725 01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 1: could start mining some of this gold we've been sitting 1726 01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:16,839 Speaker 1: on top of. I think the cannabinoids thing in college football, 1727 01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,519 Speaker 1: In all these sports leagues, what they're trying to do 1728 01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:23,120 Speaker 1: is avoid litigation. I think the reason why those rules 1729 01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:26,120 Speaker 1: have gotten relaxed is because now players are starting to 1730 01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,799 Speaker 1: sue leagues. Like I think it was Jared you mentioned 1731 01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory, you know, Or no, it was you, Brian, 1732 01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 1: you mentioned Randy Gregory. He's suing the NFL because he's 1733 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:39,000 Speaker 1: saying that it was therapeutic use. He was saying that 1734 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,960 Speaker 1: he needed it as medicine and that was the reason 1735 01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:45,080 Speaker 1: why he was using the drugs, you know. So I 1736 01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 1: think that's the reason why all these sports leagues are 1737 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,560 Speaker 1: going that direction. Again, it comes back to money, but 1738 01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,479 Speaker 1: I think for the same reason. Money is the reason 1739 01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,280 Speaker 1: why you're gonna see a lot of these restrictions get 1740 01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,640 Speaker 1: loosened on betting because there's so much much money to 1741 01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,760 Speaker 1: be made with these sports books. Yeah. 1742 01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if the players fall into that category though, right, 1743 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:09,640 Speaker 3: because like, so let's go down the road. Let's imagine 1744 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:14,120 Speaker 3: that you're the Commissioner of Gambling and football, and you 1745 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:18,120 Speaker 3: made a dual you know, legislation that players are allowed 1746 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 3: to bet positively on their teams. I'll throw the gray 1747 01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 3: area at you right now. How do we handle player props, 1748 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,240 Speaker 3: Josh Allen? In order for you to go over fifty 1749 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 3: five rushing yards? That has nothing to do with the 1750 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:37,040 Speaker 3: team winning the game, right, Josh Allen? Could be it 1751 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:42,719 Speaker 3: could be third and goal and the wide open player. 1752 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:45,680 Speaker 3: Let's say it's third and goal from like the ten 1753 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:50,679 Speaker 3: yard line. Yeah, and Josh Allen's at fifty four rushing yards. 1754 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:52,760 Speaker 1: He needs more rushing yards. 1755 01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:56,280 Speaker 3: And to get over there's a wide open player in 1756 01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,679 Speaker 3: the end zone. And Josh is like, no, I'm gonna 1757 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,120 Speaker 3: go run for the five yard It'll set up fourth 1758 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,240 Speaker 3: and goal at the five. We don't need the touchdown. 1759 01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,120 Speaker 3: We'll get the touchdown on fourth and goal. I gotta 1760 01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 3: get this player prop over. That's not betting on again. Yeah, 1761 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of gray area. Then, I think 1762 01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,000 Speaker 3: that it's it's a it's a it's a bag of worms. 1763 01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 3: I don't know if the NFL wants to play with. 1764 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm Brian, I'm with you. I think that I I 1765 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:22,720 Speaker 1: I honestly, I you know, I think that this is 1766 01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:26,040 Speaker 1: a long time coming. I don't think that we're gonna 1767 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 1: see this get loose and Jared, that point you just 1768 01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:31,639 Speaker 1: made is perfect. There's so much gray area you're gonna 1769 01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:34,960 Speaker 1: have to make it so specific. It'll probably be you know, 1770 01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:39,559 Speaker 1: mind bog like it'll it'll be like no props, only 1771 01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:43,400 Speaker 1: positive bets for your team, maybe only season long. There's 1772 01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 1: gonna be all these stipulations. It's gonna be and but 1773 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:50,920 Speaker 1: end but end. But But the reason why I think 1774 01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 1: at some point they're gonna loosen betting restrictions is because 1775 01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:00,719 Speaker 1: the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball, all the sports league. 1776 01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 1: If there's one thing I know about these owners, they 1777 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,720 Speaker 1: care more about money than they do about in tech. 1778 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,680 Speaker 3: That's true. Baseball, I don't think I'll ever get there 1779 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:12,599 Speaker 3: because of the stigma. I think football has a chance 1780 01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,080 Speaker 3: because of what you just said right, Like, there's a 1781 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:20,240 Speaker 3: non zero chance that football gets there. I think Baseball 1782 01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:22,720 Speaker 3: is zero because of the Pete Rose stuff and what 1783 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:24,840 Speaker 3: we saw this year. Like I have friends that work 1784 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,760 Speaker 3: at MLB Network. Yeah, they were going to reach out 1785 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:29,760 Speaker 3: to me or they were gonna collaborate with me. To 1786 01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:32,479 Speaker 3: do a piece about the first inning and gambling, and 1787 01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,000 Speaker 3: she said, listen, I can't do this right now because 1788 01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:36,439 Speaker 3: there's a lot of heat on gambling right now. 1789 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:36,600 Speaker 1: You know. 1790 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,400 Speaker 3: Like so, I think the baseball world is a little 1791 01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:43,360 Speaker 3: bit different football because of how greedy the owners can be. 1792 01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,200 Speaker 3: I think there's a non zero chance. 1793 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:47,200 Speaker 1: But it's it's very slim. 1794 01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 2: I think there's zero chance in professional leagues especially. Think 1795 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:56,639 Speaker 2: about this with the NFL. People are betting like crazy 1796 01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:59,680 Speaker 2: on the NFL. Why would the NFL need to make 1797 01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 2: a drastic change where Dak can bed on a Cowboys 1798 01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 2: prop because they. 1799 01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:06,760 Speaker 1: Get the window from the union. That would be the 1800 01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:07,200 Speaker 1: only reason. 1801 01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,679 Speaker 2: But that's what I mean, Like, why would the NFL 1802 01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,960 Speaker 2: need to do that to what then make gambling popular? 1803 01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:15,040 Speaker 2: It's already popular. 1804 01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like there's pushing back and the player Association said 1805 01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 3: we want this, but I can't think of a world 1806 01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:20,639 Speaker 3: where they would. 1807 01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1808 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:22,840 Speaker 2: No, I don't I don't see it. 1809 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Sorry, die in this hill. All I'm 1810 01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:30,719 Speaker 1: say it is it wasn't what fifteen years ago maybe 1811 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:34,600 Speaker 1: less than that, where Tony Romo was hosting true his 1812 01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 1: name was attached here in Vegas at a fantasy football 1813 01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:41,360 Speaker 1: then in Vegas, and it was a huge problem. I 1814 01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:43,719 Speaker 1: don't know if he served the suspension, but it certainly 1815 01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:47,400 Speaker 1: was being discussed. I remember it was a huge problem though. 1816 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they got to a Super Bowl here 1817 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:50,599 Speaker 3: a few months ago. 1818 01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:53,559 Speaker 1: How about that? And that's my totally different world. It's 1819 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:56,040 Speaker 1: a completely different world. And we're talking about only a 1820 01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 1: decade apart from the world we live in now. Imagine 1821 01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:02,160 Speaker 1: it's fair fast forward ten years. I think we're living 1822 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,600 Speaker 1: in a completely new world where betting in players, like 1823 01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,080 Speaker 1: it's a little bit more intermingled than it is now. 1824 01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's gonna look like, but I 1825 01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:13,519 Speaker 1: promise it's gonna look different than it does today. It will. 1826 01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:19,040 Speaker 2: I just don't think the hurdle of players betting on 1827 01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:22,879 Speaker 2: NBA games being allowed, it's. 1828 01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 1: That will never happen. 1829 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:30,920 Speaker 3: It will never happen in baseball again, non zero chance football. 1830 01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 1: But Slim and Slim just left the building like it's. 1831 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 2: Not a hurdle, it's pole vaulting without the pole vault. 1832 01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,880 Speaker 1: This is so imagine like so like the players unions 1833 01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 1: in all these sports, like follow Bryce Harper's you know 1834 01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,599 Speaker 1: pick that the Phillies are gonna win more than eighty 1835 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:56,400 Speaker 1: nine games this year with DraftKings or with bet MGM, 1836 01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:58,960 Speaker 1: Like it's it's gonna be one of those things where 1837 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 1: it's like Bryce Arper could make I don't know, I mean, 1838 01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:06,200 Speaker 1: he could make ten million, twenty million, one hundred million 1839 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:10,080 Speaker 1: dollars on an endorsement deal. When we start talking about 1840 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 1: the crazy money that these sports books have to pay 1841 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,720 Speaker 1: and and they want to align themselves with players, they 1842 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,920 Speaker 1: just can't do it. I feel like that day is coming. 1843 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:23,240 Speaker 1: I think I think that day's coming sooner than later. 1844 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it'll look like, but I feel 1845 01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,839 Speaker 1: like it's coming soon. We've seen it with golfer. 1846 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:32,120 Speaker 3: If I recall, there are certain sports books that sponsor golfers, 1847 01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 3: and you see the logos, Yeah yeah, I think you're 1848 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 3: That is I think the closest we're at right now. 1849 01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:42,400 Speaker 1: Or maybe it's just the caddies. I don't know. 1850 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,040 Speaker 3: There's a couple of golf I thought Bryson had a 1851 01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:47,800 Speaker 3: sportsbook sponsor at one point. 1852 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 2: I could just picture the caddy who took the over 1853 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:56,400 Speaker 2: on the golfer was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, 1854 01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,760 Speaker 2: you want the nine iron here that the three you know, 1855 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 2: let's take. 1856 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:06,639 Speaker 3: The putter from one hundred yards outs wedge. 1857 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna want to use a flat. 1858 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:13,800 Speaker 3: Money coming out of his pockets walking off the course 1859 01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:14,679 Speaker 3: like ten cup. 1860 01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:15,320 Speaker 1: No doubt. 1861 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:18,640 Speaker 2: We've got Jared Smith FSR betting analyst Rich Ornberger with 1862 01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:21,519 Speaker 2: US Penn State All American. I'm Brian No coming up next. 1863 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:25,719 Speaker 2: If schools are making money in these areas, why aren't 1864 01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:29,439 Speaker 2: they making money in this area? It's Fox Sports Saturday 1865 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:32,639 Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio. It is Fox Sports Saturday, 1866 01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:37,360 Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio. So I saw a 1867 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:41,920 Speaker 2: column written by Bruce Feldman on The Athletic and he 1868 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:47,400 Speaker 2: ranked the top ten college football stadiums to play in. 1869 01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:51,720 Speaker 2: Right We're talking really tough atmosphere to go in there 1870 01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:55,000 Speaker 2: like right like, and so he ranked these. 1871 01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:57,240 Speaker 1: Now, we think differently. 1872 01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:01,559 Speaker 2: I looked at this list and I thought one thing, 1873 01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:05,519 Speaker 2: very specifically, and I'm curious if you guys can guess 1874 01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,640 Speaker 2: where my head went. And let me emphasize if you 1875 01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:10,760 Speaker 2: don't guess it, it's not that you're wrong. It's just 1876 01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:14,800 Speaker 2: we think in different ways. Okay, So Bruce Feldman top 1877 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:20,040 Speaker 2: ten college football stadiums to play in, and so you 1878 01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:23,679 Speaker 2: go down the list, number one, LSU Tiger Stadium, Bama 1879 01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:29,439 Speaker 2: Bryant Denny Stadium, Penn State, Beaver Stadium, Ohio State Ohio Stadium, 1880 01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 2: Virginia Tech Lane Stadium, Florida At number six, Benhill Griffin Stadium, 1881 01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:42,200 Speaker 2: Tennessee Neeland Stadium, followed by Oregon Aughtson Stadium, Georgia, Sandford Stadium, 1882 01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,760 Speaker 2: and Texas A and M. Kyle Field. Now, when you 1883 01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:50,320 Speaker 2: hear that list, where do you think my mind might go? 1884 01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:55,320 Speaker 1: Hmm, you're Alma mater or not? You're Alma mater, but 1885 01:40:55,600 --> 01:41:01,519 Speaker 1: not the leaving the team you root for. Where's Yeah, 1886 01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:04,040 Speaker 1: that's a good guess. What do you think? 1887 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:08,160 Speaker 3: Well, Brian, Yeah, yeah, Oh geez, where. 1888 01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Does my brain go? What was left off the list? 1889 01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,560 Speaker 1: Tell you what I I've kind of felt like I 1890 01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,639 Speaker 1: saw this list earlier in the week. I'm glad you're 1891 01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:18,839 Speaker 1: bringing it up. I kind of felt like Beaver Stadium 1892 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:24,640 Speaker 1: was a little low mission house. Yeah, I mean that 1893 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,479 Speaker 1: is the big house, So you think that'd be on 1894 01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:27,920 Speaker 1: the list. 1895 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,720 Speaker 2: Where my mind goes is we had the story a 1896 01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:36,640 Speaker 2: handful of weeks ago where they're gonna have corporate logos 1897 01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 2: on the field this year because they're going to make 1898 01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:43,760 Speaker 2: a buck. You have all these stadiums and they don't 1899 01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:48,240 Speaker 2: have corporate sponsors yep, right, Like is that odd to you? 1900 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:51,439 Speaker 2: I get that you're trying to get your your scratch right. 1901 01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:54,080 Speaker 2: You're trying to make money at every turn. If you 1902 01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:58,040 Speaker 2: put logos or corporate logos on the field, you make 1903 01:41:58,160 --> 01:41:59,920 Speaker 2: some cash. Okay, fine, you're. 1904 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:00,400 Speaker 1: Gonna do that. 1905 01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:05,879 Speaker 2: But you haven't gotten a corporate sponsor for Beaver Stadium 1906 01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 2: or Ohio Stadium. 1907 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,879 Speaker 3: Like bush Back is, they're named after people or donors 1908 01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:11,479 Speaker 3: usually who give money. 1909 01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,840 Speaker 2: That makes sense, But Ohio Stadium is not named after 1910 01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 2: mister Ohio. 1911 01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:17,760 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 1912 01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 3: It's like mister peanut with a monocle at a top. 1913 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. It just doesn't add up to me. 1914 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:29,120 Speaker 2: Where sure could be making millions and millions of dollars 1915 01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:33,680 Speaker 2: by having a corporate sponsor on your stadium and you're 1916 01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:37,080 Speaker 2: just gonna keep it Ohio Stadium instead of Pepsi Stadium 1917 01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:37,639 Speaker 2: or whatever. 1918 01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:41,640 Speaker 1: That's just strange to me. So I was, uh, I 1919 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 1: was just recently on an airplane because we flew out 1920 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:49,240 Speaker 1: for vacation, and when you're on an airplane, it is 1921 01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 1: commonplace to see people, you know, wear sweatpants or you know, 1922 01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,280 Speaker 1: comfy clothing, athletic leisure, whatever you want to call it. 1923 01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: You know, nobody's dressed stuff. Do you realize when we 1924 01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 1: first started flying in this country or internationally for that matter, 1925 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:09,439 Speaker 1: everybody was in suits. Oh yeah, everybody was in suits 1926 01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:13,400 Speaker 1: like it was an occasion. It was something that for 1927 01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people maybe it was only a once 1928 01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:18,920 Speaker 1: in a lifetime privilege to get a plane ticket and 1929 01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,160 Speaker 1: fly somewhere through the air. You know, it was a 1930 01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:28,440 Speaker 1: very different experience, and those traditions fell by the wayside 1931 01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:33,600 Speaker 1: the more normal air travel became, you know, when they 1932 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:37,000 Speaker 1: started coming out with budget airlines, when things became a 1933 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,759 Speaker 1: little bit more corporate and a little bit more people 1934 01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:45,160 Speaker 1: friendly instead of independent and guarded. I think there, I 1935 01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:49,479 Speaker 1: think college football is like a walled garden, but the 1936 01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:52,920 Speaker 1: walls are crumbling. College football has been protected for a 1937 01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,600 Speaker 1: long time from the outside world, like I don't know, 1938 01:43:55,920 --> 01:44:01,679 Speaker 1: paying for labor for example, I digress. But these walls 1939 01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:05,479 Speaker 1: are crumbling down, and so players are getting paid now, 1940 01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:11,000 Speaker 1: and you're starting to see players capitalizing on that. Coaches 1941 01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,240 Speaker 1: for years, I mean, a lot of the you know, 1942 01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,400 Speaker 1: the the hey, you know Joe Paterno or Bear Bryan 1943 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 1: or you know, or you name it, like, you know 1944 01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:24,000 Speaker 1: these coaches where it's like one school for me and 1945 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:27,120 Speaker 1: one school only. You know, these coaches, it's like they're 1946 01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:30,360 Speaker 1: playing musical chairs. The music stops and coaches are all 1947 01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:34,120 Speaker 1: on different teams now because that's that's where the money's at. 1948 01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,360 Speaker 1: You know, people are chasing after the money. So I 1949 01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:39,440 Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of things that are little traditions 1950 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:42,040 Speaker 1: that have been you know, you know, the stones are 1951 01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,760 Speaker 1: getting chipped away at this walled garden and I think 1952 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:47,880 Speaker 1: I think you just pointed it out, Brian, this is 1953 01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:51,840 Speaker 1: the next one to go. This is this stone has 1954 01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:54,120 Speaker 1: been waiting to fall for a long time. And I 1955 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:57,160 Speaker 1: think we're gonna see naming rights for stadiums all across 1956 01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:58,679 Speaker 1: college football here really soon. 1957 01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 3: I mean I've said this for years now that I've 1958 01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:05,200 Speaker 3: been in the sports media world for basically two decades. 1959 01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,920 Speaker 3: I mean I'm getting old two thousand and eights when 1960 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,320 Speaker 3: I graduated from Penn State, so now, you know, sixteen 1961 01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,639 Speaker 3: years basically in the working world. And in that sixteen years, 1962 01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:17,280 Speaker 3: I've become way less of a fan of my teams 1963 01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:19,479 Speaker 3: because of all the things you're talking about like just 1964 01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 3: you know, over time, we lose less joy for the 1965 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:25,160 Speaker 3: things that used to make us happy as kids. I'll 1966 01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,120 Speaker 3: say this, Penn State is the one thing that I 1967 01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:32,200 Speaker 3: still grab onto with my with all the heart strings. 1968 01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:38,200 Speaker 3: Right when Beaver Stadium becomes Rocket Mortgage Stadium. Yes, it's 1969 01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,720 Speaker 3: just it's not it's gonna lose a little bit of 1970 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:44,880 Speaker 3: luster in my eyes. And I think it's a fair 1971 01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,439 Speaker 3: thing because I think of all the sports that are 1972 01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:51,559 Speaker 3: out there, baseball probably has the most tradition. I would 1973 01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:55,200 Speaker 3: put college football right there at the top with baseball, 1974 01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:57,880 Speaker 3: Like maybe baseball's one A and college football is one 1975 01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:00,639 Speaker 3: B in terms of the tradition, especially in the South. 1976 01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,680 Speaker 3: And if you start taking Bryant Denny Stadium and you 1977 01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 3: turn it into raising Kine Stadium, like it just you're 1978 01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:10,800 Speaker 3: gonna have some You're gonna lose some people you are, 1979 01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,200 Speaker 3: and and I don't know how many, it's not gonna matter. 1980 01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:14,920 Speaker 3: It's probably people are still gonna watch, just like we 1981 01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,280 Speaker 3: always say we're gonna boycott the NFL and it's never happening. 1982 01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:21,439 Speaker 3: But a little bit of that joy, a little bit 1983 01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:27,000 Speaker 3: of that childish, you know, excitement, I think goes to 1984 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:28,680 Speaker 3: the wayside a little bit if you start doing that. 1985 01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm surprised these schools haven't at least gotten 1986 01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:36,759 Speaker 2: creative where you could do something like Nieland Stadium presented 1987 01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:40,800 Speaker 2: by Nabisco or whatever.

But yeah, that's what in football. 2128 01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:15,160 Speaker 2: If you're betting on the Ravens, unless there's an injury, 2129 01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,519 Speaker 2: you know Lamar Jackson is going to be in the game, right, 2130 01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:24,120 Speaker 2: You're betting on the Reds today, and all of a sudden, 2131 01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:26,840 Speaker 2: in the seventh inning, there's this random pitcher in the 2132 01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:29,400 Speaker 2: game that you had no idea he was going to 2133 01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:33,400 Speaker 2: be in the game in that spot. It's so different, man. 2134 01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:36,240 Speaker 2: That's why man baseball, even with the lineup, even with 2135 01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:37,800 Speaker 2: the guys that you know are going to be in 2136 01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:40,560 Speaker 2: the game, you don't know who's batting in the ninth inning. 2137 01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,960 Speaker 1: You don't know what the lineup is gonna be. Pinch hitter, 2138 01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:45,520 Speaker 1: you know what. All of a sudden, I'm looking at 2139 01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:48,200 Speaker 1: my Rapid Fire bets and you're making me feel really nervous. 2140 01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:53,360 Speaker 2: I got you any baseball bets on his card, that's right, 2141 01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:55,640 Speaker 2: Creak up the w NBA bets, Rich, you. 2142 01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:59,520 Speaker 3: Know, I'll be honest, I think that's gonna be something. 2143 01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:01,920 Speaker 3: And I keep saying this every year, like I'm gonna 2144 01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:04,960 Speaker 3: get into a WNB this year more than any other year. 2145 01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:08,400 Speaker 3: I'm really fou mowing the w NBA because the numbers 2146 01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:11,400 Speaker 3: are just it's a soft market, guys, It's really soft. 2147 01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can find some value there, there's no doubt.

It seems to be 2172 01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:44,280 Speaker 3: a Saturday tradition. He pitches every Saturday.

He faces the Braves today on the road. 2175 01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:53,680 Speaker 3: Atlanta's really been struggling offensively since Acunya got hurt, and 2176 01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:56,120 Speaker 3: on the other side it's Max Freed. So I love 2177 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:58,680 Speaker 3: the pitching matchup in this game. Will go Neurfy between 2178 01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:02,200 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and Atlanta. Also Nurphy in Kansas City. Love this 2179 01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:04,880 Speaker 3: pitching matchup too. Cole Reagan, if you haven't heard of 2180 01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:07,320 Speaker 3: him yet, you should because if they're in the playoffs 2181 01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:09,080 Speaker 3: this year, the Royals, he's gonna be starting Game one 2182 01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:11,560 Speaker 3: of that series and he is just an absolute rockstar. 2183 01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:14,400 Speaker 3: Lefty Ace Tanner Biby on the other side for Cleveland. 2184 01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:16,920 Speaker 3: The Royals have really been struggling in the first inning, 2185 01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:20,080 Speaker 3: batting one thirty seven in the first inning this month 2186 01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:23,480 Speaker 3: against Righty's and then the final pick for me today 2187 01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:26,080 Speaker 3: another Nerfy We'll go Nats raise. I won on this 2188 01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:29,400 Speaker 3: bet yesterday. Today the pitching matchup, I don't think it's 2189 01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:32,200 Speaker 3: as strong as it was yesterday. Jake Irvin for the Nats, 2190 01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:36,160 Speaker 3: Aaron Sabali for the Rays. But the Nats also really 2191 01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:37,960 Speaker 3: struggling in the first inning this month, So. 2192 01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:39,600 Speaker 1: We'll go Nats raise. 2193 01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:44,680 Speaker 3: Nurfy, Pirates, Braids, Nerfy Guards, Royals, Nurfy Little Trio, Murphy's 2194 01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:45,160 Speaker 3: for you today. 2195 01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:48,480 Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, all nerfy's all right. I'm going all 2196 01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:51,640 Speaker 1: baseball here as well. But I have a couple of 2197 01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:56,160 Speaker 1: run lines. All right. First, we like correlations, so I'm 2198 01:57:56,240 --> 01:58:00,600 Speaker 1: taking on our prop it ups Tyler glasnow over on 2199 01:58:00,720 --> 01:58:03,480 Speaker 1: his seven and a half strikeouts, so staying along the 2200 01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:06,920 Speaker 1: lines of a correlation, Dodgers Giants run totals seven and 2201 01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:10,440 Speaker 1: a half, give me the under there. Moving on to 2202 01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:14,080 Speaker 1: the Padres Red Sox later today, the run totals at 2203 01:58:14,160 --> 01:58:17,000 Speaker 1: eight and a half. I'm taking the over for two reasons. 2204 01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:21,640 Speaker 1: So the Padres bats, they've been red hot lately. Michael 2205 01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:26,200 Speaker 1: King their pitcher, arguably one of their worst in their rotation. 2206 01:58:27,040 --> 01:58:29,920 Speaker 1: He's been a stopgap at best, an innings eater at 2207 01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:33,240 Speaker 1: best so far this season, unreliable, so I think it's 2208 01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:35,839 Speaker 1: possible to see the Red Sox feast there. And speaking 2209 01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:40,440 Speaker 1: of correlations, I'm gonna take the first inning your fee. 2210 01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:45,720 Speaker 1: That's right, yes, run first inning, Socks, Padres. Let's go 2211 01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:51,040 Speaker 1: fingers crossed toes crossed. All baseball here here here it is, boys, 2212 01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:51,720 Speaker 1: let's talk. 2213 01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:55,480 Speaker 2: I left kim Man, Okay, okay, I'm gonna go all 2214 01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:59,240 Speaker 2: baseball too. I was looking for some prop bets for 2215 01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:05,240 Speaker 2: the Mercury game tomorrow against the the FEVA tomorrow. I 2216 01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:06,880 Speaker 2: know we're not gonna get him intil a. 2217 01:59:06,840 --> 01:59:08,920 Speaker 1: Little late with the WNBA props. That's the problem with 2218 01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:12,040 Speaker 1: the market. It's new, but it's still evolving. 2219 01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:15,400 Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm on the Astros today. The Mets have 2220 01:59:15,520 --> 01:59:19,600 Speaker 2: been red hot, but it's minus one ten on either 2221 01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:21,520 Speaker 2: the Astros or the Mets today. 2222 01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:22,480 Speaker 1: That stinks to me. 2223 01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:25,680 Speaker 2: So I'm going Houston. I think that the Mets on 2224 01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:28,480 Speaker 2: this heater, the way their offense is clicking, to only 2225 01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:31,120 Speaker 2: be minus one ten at home, that's. 2226 01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:31,640 Speaker 1: A red flax. 2227 01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:34,080 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna back the Houston Astros, and I'm gonna 2228 01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:34,880 Speaker 2: take it a step further. 2229 01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna double dip with Houston. 2230 01:59:37,440 --> 01:59:42,320 Speaker 2: Over four and a half runs scored today for the Astro, 2231 01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:44,800 Speaker 2: so I say they win and score at least five 2232 01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:47,840 Speaker 2: runs and then I'm I'm a lie along the same 2233 01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:51,520 Speaker 2: lines with you, Jared. I'm looking at this Cleveland KC 2234 01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:55,280 Speaker 2: matchup Cole Reagan's you pointed it out. He's done a 2235 01:59:55,360 --> 01:59:59,720 Speaker 2: great job, rookie. He's throwing heat. He's been a strikeout artist. 2236 02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,320 Speaker 2: I've got under seven and a half runs today. I 2237 02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:04,680 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a bit of a grinder. So 2238 02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:07,320 Speaker 2: I go Houston minus one ten, Houston over four and 2239 02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:11,520 Speaker 2: a half runs scored, and the Cleveland Ksey under seven 2240 02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:12,440 Speaker 2: and a half seven. 2241 02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:14,240 Speaker 3: And I think we're at that. 2242 02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Point in the season now where you. 2243 02:00:16,400 --> 02:00:20,360 Speaker 3: Know what these pitchers are and you can be very 2244 02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:24,240 Speaker 3: I guess steadfast with your opinions, like Cole Reagan's is 2245 02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:25,760 Speaker 3: gonna pitch well pretty much every. 2246 02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:26,480 Speaker 1: Time it takes the mountain. 2247 02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:27,560 Speaker 3: That's just how good he is. 2248 02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:30,440 Speaker 2: I hope today is not the exciting I hope. 2249 02:00:30,640 --> 02:00:31,440 Speaker 1: I hope I didn't justin. 2250 02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:34,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really hop if he goes one, two, three 2251 02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:34,840 Speaker 3: in the first day. 2252 02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because of five runs in the first screwed, it 2253 02:00:39,080 --> 02:00:43,920 Speaker 2: could happen, but absolutely good. All right, Well, hey, always 2254 02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:47,120 Speaker 2: fun hanging with you guys.
