0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Also NBC Sports Network First Hour brought to you by

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Dude Dude Wipes Wetter is better available at Amazon and

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 2>major retailers nationwide. Dude wipes best clean pants down pull question,

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>play of the day, stat of the day forthcoming. I

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>would like to announce this to the Commissioner of the NBA,

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Adam Silver. I need to come up with a new category,

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>a new stat It's called shots discouraged SD no t

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>SD shots discouraged. Victor Wembanyama. I think Portland shot nineteen

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>percent on the shots that Wembanyama contested in this series.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>That's where you go and you do a pick and

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>roll and all of a sudden you think you're open,

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden you just see him

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>fly by or come out of nowhere. Shots do scouraged.

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>This is kind of like hurries, you know, I talk

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>about Max Crosby. Sack's not as important to me as

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>hurries are, because you can hurry a variety of throws

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>and you could, you know, out of that, you could

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 2>get interceptions in completions. Now, yes, bringing the quarterback down

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a sack, I think we get caught up on that

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>number as opposed to how many times are you getting

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 2>near the quarterback speeding up his process? And Max Crosby

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>is maybe the best at doing that. But with Wemby,

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>shots discouraged. Now we did try Receiver caused Interception RCI,

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>where the receiver is the one who caused the interception

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>that didn't catch on. So maybe shots discouraged with Victor

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.399
<v Speaker 2>webben Yama. I'm letting the commissioner know, as I've let

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 2>him know about a couple other things. You know, positionless

0:02:54.800 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>positionless all NBA teams, the sixty five games minimum if

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>you're going to qualify for postseason awards. Now, everybody loved that.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have to play a particular position. The five

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>best players are on the first team, and such and such,

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>second and third, the sixty five games. There's been some pushback,

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'll take the blame on that because we can

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 2>change the lottery, and they're changing the lottery again. Load

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>management is the big issue, not the lottery. It's load management.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's a solution to that. And

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>next time we have the commissioner on I mean, I

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>get it, you want to have teams stop tanking, but

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I need players who want to play. And I'll go

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>back to Victor Windanyama. He wants to be great, he

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>wants to be MVP. He wanted to be defensive Player

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Year. You know what he did in the

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>offseason last year He worked out with one of our

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 2>guests today, Jamal Crawford, who in the pantheon of great

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 2>ball handlers in the history of the NBA. His name

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>is in that conversation. So Wemby worked out with Jamal

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Crawford to work on his handle. Amazing, and he's just

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>getting to the point where he's figuring out where to

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>be on the court offensively, defensively, he's already there. But

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>shots discouraged in the Portland series and you could see

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 2>guys like this is where quarterbacks say that they see

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:29.039
<v Speaker 2>ghost you know, or the pocket is getting muddy, and

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Sam Darnold famously said that, you know, he sees ghosts

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>in the pocket, like Wemby is a ghost. He's he's there.

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure where he is, but I know he'll

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>be here. And that's what you saw in this Portland series.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>It was fun, fun to watch. He is musty TV.

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>There is no other player I'd rather watch than Wemby.

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Now there's other you know, when Steph is at his peak,

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Steph was wonderful. There's so many, you know, great players

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>even Joe l Embiid last night. I'm all fire up

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>this morning. I gotta slow down a little bit. I'm

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>watching Embiid last night and it was a reminder game

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>because I kept watching and going, okay, Boston, okay, Boston.

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Ok uh oh, and then the fourth quarter they were horrible.

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 2>But Joe Ellenbiid, keep in mind the first two years

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 2>he didn't play, had a bad back, and really his

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>college career was spotty because of injuries. But this was

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be the process. Could have been a bust,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know his career will be tricky when it's over.

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>When we look back and you go, he he didn't

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 2>win an MVP and didn't win a title, but the

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>numbers are there, like you think he's a bum when

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>he's averaging what twenty seven, uh, I don't know, eight

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and four something like that. I mean, it is a

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 2>down year for him, and you could see, really he's

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 2>almost hunched over on the floor. He can't jump. Still

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 2>has great touch and great feel for the game. But

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you're watching last night and I just thought, man, I

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know how he's doing it, but when he's on

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 2>the floor, he can still be a difference. Now, Philadelphia.

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, I loved me some Tyres Maaxing. I loved

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>him coming out Edgecombe. I think is a good draft pick.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Then Paul George. Paul George is fun to see. I mean,

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't want him on my team, but I you know,

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>he does have a beautiful jump shot. But I'm watching

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and I go, Okay, Philly has some talent here. It's

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>just Paul George's not Paul George. And joe El Embiid

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>is not Joel Embiid because of injuries. But you're watching

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that game last night, and I love Boston to come

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 2>out of the East, and I kept thinking, man, you

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>can't have these kind of nights. And they had a

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 2>horrible fourth quarter, certainly from three point range. So I'm

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 2>watching a lot of the NBA last night, and boy, hey,

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>let's go out to Seventh Avenue and take off our

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.719
<v Speaker 2>shirts and celebrate because we beat the Hawks.

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 5>We're up three to two in the first round.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Nicks in six, Nicks in six. I'm going

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 2>come on, are you that desperate to celebrate? Yes, come on,

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>let's go. Let's take off our shirts.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Marvin DP, they are going working and next game

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 4>in the playoffs is just one of those.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 6>Man.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Let's just see how bad they overreact to a win

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 4>against the Pacers in Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals.

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know, well, Eastern Conference Finals. I'm okay celebrating.

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>We're in the first round, aren't we.

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but now this is the tradition because they've been

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 4>good for about thirty six months, so every single first

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 4>round we won Boston. You know you don't, I know

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 4>you don't.

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 5>Let's go outside and take off our shirts.

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 6>We beat the.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 5>Hawks at home, yes, Paul.

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 3>They got rid of TIBs. Last year they were fifty

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 3>one and thirty one, lost in the Eastern Conference Finals.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 3>They have two more regular season wins this year. They

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 3>don't feel as threatening, but they're they're doing pretty well.

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 3>It's a good feeling down there.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Jamal Crawford will join us coming up next hour. Albert Brier,

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the Monday morning quarterback, will join us. There's some football

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 2>items to talk to him about. I saw where Russell

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Wilson maybe the Jets. I'm like, hasn't he suffered enough?

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 2>And we're still waiting for Aaron Rodgers to show up?

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Feels like that's a foregone conclusion. Speaking of which the

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>NCAA is going to make it official in a couple

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 2>of weeks. They're going to seventy six teams for the

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 2>men's and the women's teams. And the one thing that

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I never ever want to hear again is a coach

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>complaining that they didn't make the tournament. Not allowed to

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 2>have that anymore. Can't say it. Seventy six teams, Yes, Martin.

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 4>Team seventy seven is going to be a fire season.

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Not allowed. We were nineteen and fifteen, not allowed.

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 4>We had Tier one wins.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>And they expanded, like I told you they were going to.

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>They just add games on Tuesday and Wednesday. You're gonna

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>have a site Dayton, Ohio again, and then you'll have

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 2>what I'm told will be a West Coast site as well.

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Working on the travel, trying to cut down the travel.

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>If you win your game on Tuesday, you have to

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 2>play on Thursday, Wednesday, Friday. So they want to try

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to help out with travel there. But yes, nobody wanted it,

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>but we got it seventies. You know who wants it. Coaches,

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>coaches wanted, conferences want this. That's where you can brag

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and the Big ten can say we got nine teams

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>in the SEC. We got all of our teams in

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 2>March Madness. Here, here's the problem I have. You know what,

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna save it. I'm gonna save it. I have

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>that for you coming up. Man, I'm wound up today.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I am wound up, ready to go. I don't know

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>what it was. Maybe it was Wemby. Does that to me?

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:02.439
<v Speaker 7>You know?

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Marvin, much to Todd Shagrin, he's not big on

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 4>the Wemby coveries.

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh I know, I know.

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 8>No, no, say say so. I have nothing to say.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 8>He's amazing, He's a unicorn. It's all been said. That's

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 8>the problem.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 4>And well, now all you could do is just keep

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 4>reiterating all the different adjectives that have.

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Been Okay, but did you ever say that about Michael Jordan.

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Everything's been said.

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Because that was more of my era when I was younger.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 3>That's We all have our little biases.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 2>But Wemby is getting better. He's twenty two, he's getting better.

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 2>We ran out of things how to describe Mike. When

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.559
<v Speaker 2>I would do highlights, I'd be like, I don't know

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>what adjectives to put in here.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, Martin, Yeah, Fritzy, we're seeing something we've never

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 4>seen in our lifetime before. This is Ralph Sampson, who

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 4>can handle the basketball and play on the perimeter.

0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Todd's not watching this, Thank you, Todd, Yes, Paul.

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.599
<v Speaker 3>But you know certain players, they developed their games and

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 3>they change. You remember early Jordan was attacked the hoop,

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 3>get fouled, dunk on people. But then six years later

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 3>he became a low post killer and protected himself. Wemby,

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 3>he averaged nine threes attempted last year. He's down the

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 3>five and a half this year. He's brought his game

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 3>more inside. He's altered his game.

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Here is the Spurs Radio Network last night with a

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>highlight through holiday.

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Brings it back up the floor, hands it back to

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Monti Kamara attacking, goes up on way Minyama needs some

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 1>of the.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 5>Block, cuts his six.

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 7>He then tomorrow throws it up.

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>He underside of the basket, out of bounds. What can

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>he not do?

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>His out of this world Spurs Radio Network, there you

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>go toaz out.

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 5>Of this world? What can he not do?

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 2>He's not human, He's not eight seven to seven three

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 2>DP show operator Tyler's sitting by doing nothing except for

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>answering your phone calls and petting my dog pull question, Well,

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>do you have one right now?

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 9>I do, Dan, Okay Off, the NCAA tournament expansion is

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 9>expanding the tournament to seventy six teams, a good idea. Sure,

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 9>the more the merrier, or no, it's perfect the way

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 9>it is. We actually didn't even need the first four

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 9>those to Todd's verviage.

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 5>I just don't know if anybody was saying we need

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 5>this now.

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I know that in college football, okay, we went from

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>four to twelve, and I said, in my lifetime, I'm good,

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Well they realized how much money. Everybody's excited about it.

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Now we're going to go to sixteen. Then we'll go

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>to twenty four. When we get to twenty four, it'll

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 2>still be interesting, very profitable. I just worry because these

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 2>leagues they never you know, relegate, they never move the

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 2>clock back. They never go let's go back to thirty

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>two teams not happening. You know, NBA gave us the

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 2>play in game. Baseball's added more playoff spots. I mean

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>every league is adding more. Like if you can't make

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 2>playoffs in hockey, it's like you should be fired. Half

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the league make the playoffs. The exclusivity that's attached to

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>this is long gone, so I understand.

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.319
<v Speaker 5>It, but I.

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Think that there can be that. Boy, we're teetering on

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the brink here of watering down the regular season. Everybody's

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.719
<v Speaker 2>going to make the tournament, yes, tod.

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 8>And that could be arguments for why coaches don't want

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 8>extra teams, because you couldn't make it with that many

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 8>team in the field, you should definitely lose your job,

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 8>as opposed to well, all these teams, I'll definitely get one.

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Of those spots.

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, So we'll come up with the poll

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 2>question a little bit more. With March Madness expanding, they're

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.719
<v Speaker 2>going to make it now, the paper is signed. From

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.079
<v Speaker 2>what I'm told, probably two to three weeks down the

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 2>road they'll make this official. But it is happening a

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of reports on this, Yes, Paul.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 3>You know on Selection Sunday would show a team and

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 3>they show the different coaches. What if you're shown and

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 3>you don't make it, your coaches walked right out of

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.440
<v Speaker 3>the building. Oh he gets fired on CBS National TV

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 3>like the old days of Hard Knocks.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Hmm, okay, I mean it's reality TV. They never show

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 2>reality on reality TV. That's what disappoints me. You know,

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 2>when the Kardashians go through all of their messes, we

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>never get to see those messes though. It's like it's

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 2>always homogenized. Yes, Dylan, you're.

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 9>Telling me the secret lives of Mormon wives. Isn't actually

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 9>that secret?

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so.

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that there's the Housewives of Rhode Island.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, what yeah?

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 5>Who asked for the Housewives of Rhode Island?

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 3>No small state, A lot of drama, that is true.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 9>Everyone in Rhode Island does know each other.

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 5>Well I didn't. Somebody said that to me and I laughed.

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were joking, and then I realized, there's

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Todd, what's old is Newport again? I guess, thank you, Tod.

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the Real Housewives of Delaware next year? Dan not?

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 5>Actually not, Why I wouldn't, I mean, why not?

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 3>There's drama and Delaware.

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 5>There's drama everywhere, but you create the drama.

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like, all right, you got to get mad at

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 2>her and then you you know, you know, knock over

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 2>some glasses and you know, turn over the table, okay,

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and action.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 9>That's your reality. They do always seem to have a

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 9>glass of something.

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 5>There.

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 9>It's nine am. You're drinking wine again.

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, there's certain shows that they do encourage you to drink.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, what was it? Love is Blind? I think, yeah,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 9>they're drinking all the time.

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I remember I was on Jimmy Kimmel's show years

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>and years and years ago. He had an open bar

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 2>and you know, people were you were encouraged to drink,

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and then they eventually got rid of the bar. But

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I remember it's like a sure, I'll have a beer

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 2>before you go out there. All right, let me take

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a break. Just getting started here, did I tell you

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>how great Wemby was last night?

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 6>Time?

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 4>He's not human?

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 6>He does.

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 4>Think he's a unicorn.

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 5>Out of this I think is a giraffe.

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.360

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's start there. Well, we got up so far.

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 9>Dan is expanding the NCAA tournament to seventy six team

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 9>is a good idea. Ninety one percent think it's perfect,

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:09.640
<v Speaker 9>just the way it is.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:10.479
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 9>We also have will college coaches on the outside looking

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.360
<v Speaker 9>in of the seventy sixteen field be still christ snubbed?

0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 9>Of course they will or nope. The days of winding

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.120
<v Speaker 9>you got jobbed are now over.

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>Yep, can't say that, you know, we should have been

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 2>in there. You know, your bubble teams, it's a thing

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.399
<v Speaker 2>of the past. They will, though, they will, they will.

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 2>This is what I worry about. If you win your conference,

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 2>now let's say you're Wafford or throw out a smaller

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>school Miami, Ohio winning the.

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 5>MAC, you should be in the sixty fourteen field. I don't.

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I want these other schools that didn't win their conference

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to be playing on Tuesday and Wednesday, like,

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>show a little respect to these teams that were great

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 2>from start to finish. Now you can say, well, their

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 2>competition not the same as the SEC or Big ten.

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I understand that, but I just don't want to lose

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:15.120
<v Speaker 2>sight of the you know, the smaller schools, the mid majors.

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Give them something, don't don't make them play a play

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 2>in game or the first you know whatever.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 5>We're calling it.

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Let them make the sixty fourteen field or sixty eight team,

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 2>but have the other teams other schools they do Tuesday

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and Wednesday.

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Paul, and that's what happened with the first four

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 3>this year. It was Howard sixteen seed, UMBC, Prairie View

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 3>A and M Lehigh Miami, Ohio. All those teams that

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 3>you just talked about.

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 2>If you win your conference, you should make the tournament.

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.919
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not talking about, you know, the seventy sixteen

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 2>field you should make. You know, when we fill out

0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.199
<v Speaker 2>our brackets, your name is there on the bracket, not

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.159
<v Speaker 2>something that we had to write in because you won

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday or you want on Wednesday. If you're going

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 2>to expand, I understand this NC double A making money

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 2>needs to make money. You know, you got lawsuits, nil lawsuits,

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 2>like you know, they need kind of a shovel full

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 2>of cash.

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 5>They're in reserve.

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Which sounds strange to say that, but you know, when

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 2>you look at all the conferences and schools making the money.

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 5>NC double A still has to make money. And you

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.440
<v Speaker 5>add eight.

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 2>More teams, ten more teams, whatever, it's going to be

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 2>as long as you keep them on Tuesday and Wednesday,

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have two sites, two neutral sites, and

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 2>then you're going to play those games we start, you know,

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 2>the tournament starts on Thursday.

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 6>Anyway.

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many people fill out their brackets

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>before Tuesday or Wednesday.

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:55.359
<v Speaker 5>I don't.

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>And there is a kind of an exhibition feel to

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the games on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it shouldn't be

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that way, but that's the way it is. They position

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 2>them to play into the tournament. The NCAA labeled it.

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>You're playing into the tournament like you're almost there. It's

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of like being invited to a party, but you

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>have to stay on the doorstep and wait till somebody

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 2>leaves and then you get to come in. But you're

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 2>going to expand, but make sure we take care of

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 2>the mid majors. Don't have them like picking up scraps,

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>going ah, we get to play on Tuesday to then

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 2>play on Thursday.

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 5>Maybe yes, Tom.

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 8>How small We're gonna have to make the font of

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 8>the lettering as we add more and more team so

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 8>that you can print out a bracket and it stays

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 8>on one sheet. That's starting to get close to that

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 8>confusion there.

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 2>And growth is inevitable, but every league eventually has to

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 2>decide about expansion.

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 5>Is it worth?

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 2>You have the quantity, but I worry about the quality

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.119
<v Speaker 2>With all of these different leagues.

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 5>You're going to add add and.

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 2>At some point it subtracts from really what this is

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:09.679
<v Speaker 2>all about. And I love playoff competition. It's great in

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>all sports. I just don't want to have too many

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>teams in there. Yeah, pauling, but.

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 3>It feels like these every league and every network is

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 3>looking for more space on the calendar to place live events.

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.720
<v Speaker 3>And it's like the NCAA and the conferences found a loophole.

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.159
<v Speaker 3>We can keep the sixty four, do this funky play

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 3>in game first four on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 3>don't upset the traditional sixty four apple cart, And hey,

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 3>we can just put more games in the afternoon or

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 3>at night and not really mess with everyone's tradition of

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 3>sixty four.

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if anybody is going to be out

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>on the streets protesting, because we'll watch it. I just

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I want it to be special, and maybe it's it's

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 2>special proof just because we watch. There's always going to

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:00.080
<v Speaker 2>be a player, there's always going to be a team,

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>there's always magic always, and ratings were up this year.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I think that will. The one thing that we are

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 2>going to lose is that Cinderella's story. It feels like

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Tennessee in a playing game on a

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday and then winning a couple of games is a

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Cinderella story. Cinderella's story is Wafford or Miami, Ohio. A

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 2>school or schools where you don't know where they are. Well,

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Miami is in Ohio, but then they get

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.880
<v Speaker 2>confused for Miami, Florida. But you know, you get these

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 2>other schools and I think that's the fun part of it.

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 2>You get to see a player that you never thought

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:46.199
<v Speaker 2>you would see, like you know, Steph Curry Davidson. Like

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 2>that's the magic. And I hope that we always try

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 2>to ensure that we have that. And do I want

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to have Cinderella stories. I do, And it plays out

0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 2>because Cinderella story. You might win two games, and think

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>of the exposure that these schools get. You went on

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Thursday and you went on Saturday, then you don't play

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:09.679
<v Speaker 2>until the following week.

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 5>You get all of that coverage and that is invaluable

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 5>to a school.

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's the fun part of it, where

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 2>you get some exposure, their coach gets interviewed on Sports Center,

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 2>your star player. That's great, great for the smaller schools

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 2>because I do think we're going to get to the point,

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.399
<v Speaker 2>and I said this a couple of weeks ago, that

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to look at mid majors like junior colleges.

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>If you're a player and you're going there for two years,

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.639
<v Speaker 2>is somebody interested in me that's in the SEC or

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the Big ten or Big twelve acc So I got

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.199
<v Speaker 2>two years to kind of get on the radar of

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 2>some of the bigger schools. And if I was a coach,

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I would be viewing it as I hopefully get you

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>for two years and then your probably going to, you know,

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 2>get in the transfer portal. The fact that almost half

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>of men's basketball teams this year we're in the transfer

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 2>portal should tell you everything you need to know. This

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>is just you know, you're a turnstile. It's like revolving door.

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Come on in and how long are you going to stay?

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Can we get one more spin on the revolving now

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:26.360
<v Speaker 2>you're gone. That's what it's become. And you got these

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 2>kids who are staying in college longer because you can

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:32.679
<v Speaker 2>make more money. And it feels like the rich are

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 2>going to get richer here because Kentucky can get kids

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 2>coming in, but you still get Kentucky boosters to pay

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>you to stay a little while longer, Duke, I mean

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 2>the blue bloods are going to be able to They're

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 2>going to pick and choose from the smaller schools. I

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't I wouldn't recruit. I wouldn't take a high school kid.

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, give me somebody who's approven commodity. I mean,

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I might miss out on age Debanza, but that's okay.

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's great, but it's one and done at BYU.

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Marv, Yeah, you've seen what Yukon of Michigan have

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:12.959
<v Speaker 4>done the past few years, where you might get a

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:15.199
<v Speaker 4>really good high school ball player, but the rest of

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 4>your team they're twenty two to twenty three years old

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:21.200
<v Speaker 4>and they're transferred guys from other schools. So that might

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 4>be the play.

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 2>And when I talked to Danny Hurley when the season ended,

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>he said, yeah, that's kind of what they do. They

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 2>look for that one McDonald's all American, and then you're

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna get guys transferring in Michigan had an entire roster Illinois.

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Like now, there's some coaches who don't like this at all.

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:42.919
<v Speaker 2>They don't think that these players should be eligible to

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>come over to the United States.

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 5>But it just feels like the doors are open.

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, I always go back to the scene

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.360
<v Speaker 2>where Kevin Bacon an animal house and he's telling everybody

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 2>to stop. You know, they they squish him. That's what

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.160
<v Speaker 2>it feels like. It's happening with the NC double. Hey,

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 2>hold on, no too late. Yeah, Paulie.

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.440
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting too because a guy like aj DEBANTSA by

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:11.159
<v Speaker 3>being a top three pick, B why you can't match that.

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.359
<v Speaker 3>But if you're like the twentieth pick of the draft

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 3>or twenty fifth, you could be afforded. You could be

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 3>like Mullins from Yukon. Yeah, if he was top five,

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 3>he's gone. Yeah. But if you're in that next year

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 3>past the lottery, they could afford to keep you.

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:24.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 2>And then all of a sudden, you say, hey, why

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 2>don't you stay, Why don't you show that you can

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 2>be the man? Which is what I would want from

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.399
<v Speaker 2>this kid. I want to see if you can carry

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the load every single night. Because there were games where

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 2>he disappeared, and then there are games where you go, man,

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 2>that guy's first round draft pick. I know that we

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 2>draft on potential. Potential gets you fired. I want to

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>prove in commodity. And that's why if I'm running a

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 2>big time program, I'm just going to go around the country.

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:55.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to say I'm going to take you and

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 5>you and you and you.

0:27:57.680 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>And then we might have a couple of recruits coming

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 2>in and then maybe some holdovers. That would be my

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>approach because I want a larger sample size. Then, man,

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 2>your highlight high school highlight tape looked awesome. My high

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:18.200
<v Speaker 2>school highlight tape looked awesome. It didn't quite pan out

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>for me, but it's like, you know, they don't show

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:25.879
<v Speaker 2>any negative plays in your high school highlight tape. That'd

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 2>be great if they did give you a truer sense

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:34.880
<v Speaker 2>of what you're getting. The NBA has disclosed to its

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty general managers a new anti tanking draft reform, and

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 2>it's termed the three two one Lottery. Okay, I've read

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.959
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't a great student, I didn't do well on

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the act. I'm not doing well on this lottery of

0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure it out. They're expanding the lottery yes

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to sixteen teams, and then they're flattening the odds. There's

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:13.600
<v Speaker 2>something called a relegation zone. That's where the bottom three

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>teams are penalized with fewer lottery balls for the number

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 2>one pick. This is going to start with the twenty

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven draft, according to The Mothership.

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 5>Paul, you've read it a couple of times. I'm a student.

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 5>I know I'll take a shot.

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, if I were describing this new lottery proposal, it's

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 3>to discourage extreme tanking. Once you're like below five hundred

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 3>and there's two months left in the season, getting worse

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 3>makes your chances worse to get the number.

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 2>One Okay, but the difference between tanking and extreme tanking.

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Is what Utah oh Utah or the Washington Wizards, where

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 3>you know you're not making the playoffs, so we start

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 3>shutting down players, as many players, as many games as

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 3>we can to have the best odds.

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Did the Wizards start tanking opening night like they're not

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a good team. But they're not tanking, they're just not

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 2>a good team.

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 3>The Wizards have lost ten of their last ten, so

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 3>they're right on track to improve their chances to get

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 3>a top four pick. In this new system, they would

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 3>be penalized for being extremely bad, and a team like

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 3>let's say the Chicago Bulls have thirty one wins, they

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 3>would actually be in better shape than the Wizards with

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 3>seventeen wins because they played better after they were out

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 5>But isn't it the top three teams?

0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:40.480
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Boy?

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 4>See?

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I once again I debated going into this topic. Is

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:48.479
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to confuse.

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 5>Does it? Marvin? Did you understand?

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry. I was a C minus student, so I'm

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 4>really not.

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>A quick So the three to two to one lottery

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:07.479
<v Speaker 2>represents the number of lottery balls per team. Okay, teams

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 2>that do not qualify for the playoffs or the play

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 2>in tournament but stay out of the relegation zone, which

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 2>is four through See I apologize and you're reading verbatim. Yes,

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>teams with a bottom three record the relegation area would

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 2>have two lottery balls, but have a floor of the

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>number twelve pick. The rest of the thirteen lottery teams

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 2>could fall as far as the number sixteen pick.

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the mentality there is the absolute worst teams

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 3>in the league with a month left, are encouraged to

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 3>play better to get out of that relegation zone. Yes,

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 3>I think.

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Well I've said for the last couple of years, reward

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the teams when you're eliminated from the postseason the number

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 2>of wins you have after you've been eliminated that you're

0:31:59.120 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 2>still playing.

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 9>Yes, Dylan, this read's kind of like what Wall Street does,

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.880
<v Speaker 9>where they make very basic terms sound overly complicated to

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 9>confuse you, like margin and leverage and stuff. I'm reading

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 9>and I'm like, I don't know if they just want

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 9>everyone to be like, well, it sounds like they know

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 9>what they're doing for good.

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, this new system would reward the number nine and

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 3>ten seeds. You know, those teams that are nine to

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 3>ten and they play in those play in games. You

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 3>would have a better chance if you lose those games

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 3>to get a better draft pick in the lottery.

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 5>Well wait a minute, I thought they said that something

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 5>something about.

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 2>The play if you're in the play in Yeah, but

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 2>then you're not in the lottery.

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:48.080
<v Speaker 3>No, you are. In this new system the number nine

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 3>and ten seeds, and each conference would receive two lottery balls,

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 3>and the losers of the seven and eight.

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Things that do not qualify for the playoffs or play

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>in tournament, but stay out of the relegations.

0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 5>Okay, okay, if you're in the play in, yeah, then

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 5>you're not in the lottery.

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 3>No, the opposite, if you're in the play in and

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 3>lose early in the play in and you're so basically

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:14.720
<v Speaker 3>the back half of the season, the bottom ten teams

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 3>will be encouraged to battle for the play in spots.

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 8>Okay, back to you, yes, hut, But it doesn't speak

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 8>to the teams that are genuinely sucky. Like I'm we're trying,

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 8>we're trying, we're not taking We're just bad. And so

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 8>like I feel like those teams are getting punished a little.

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Bit so they can help us out a little bit.

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 4>We're not a part of the group of teams that

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 4>are looking to purposely lose.

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 5>But how do you know that?

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 4>That's where it's tricky.

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I know that's part of the problem here, is I like, Washington,

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Are they just inept? Are they trying to be inept?

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:47.960
<v Speaker 3>How do you think we did the past five minutes?

0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 5>You know what?

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I would give us a C minus? All right, yeah,

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I would give us what we got when we were

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 2>in school.

0:33:54.920 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 4>That's generous.

0:33:55.480 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 2>They had me at three balls. How about we take

<v Speaker 2>coming up next hour. James in New Mexico. Hi, James,

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:11.080
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind today?

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 6>Hey? Thanks for sing a call?

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I was just calling, you know, with the expansion there,

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 11>and I think if you have like an ie like

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:20.799
<v Speaker 11>Miami of a high this past year, some of the

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 11>coaches could have a valid argument because we all know

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 11>that this expansion is going to end up being a

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 11>five hundred sec school over a major that actually kind

0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:34.000
<v Speaker 11>of deserves it, and have some marsh madness there. So yeah,

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 11>I think at that point is really the only complaint

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 11>I can see as valid.

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's why. If you win your conference, how

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 2>about you get to make the tournament. If you don't

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 2>win your conference, then you might be playing on a

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday or Wednesday. Aw in Virginia.

0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:54.919
<v Speaker 7>A five seven one ninety. How you doing, Dan?

0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:57.879
<v Speaker 6>I got a problem. I wanted Marvin to.

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 7>Know that Ralph Sanson had a hand.

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Okay, he could dribble the basketball, but one and two

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:07.279
<v Speaker 5>four to the other I watched him do it in

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 5>high school.

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll let Marvin know Ralph Samson had a handle.

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 4>The more you know, Yeah, all right, no, but I'm

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 4>just saying, just on a regular basis, but he seemed

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:22.560
<v Speaker 4>like more of a post player.

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 5>Well back then you were supposed to be a post exactly.

0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they were like get down low. Now they expect

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:30.840
<v Speaker 2>you to be out on the perimeter.

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Paul.

0:36:31.719 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 3>But don't you think the coverage of wemby the past

0:36:34.040 --> 0:36:37.280
<v Speaker 3>three years has given a little light on Ralph Sampson's

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 3>career that people may have forgotten about him because he

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 3>was the first guy to be like this out more

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.040
<v Speaker 3>of an outside in seven plus footer.

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:45.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Sean Bradley had the potential to do that as well.

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:52.319
<v Speaker 2>He had a nice touch, nice jumper. Another guy was

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 2>seven four seven five seven six. And you don't realize

0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:59.919
<v Speaker 2>how big that is. I mean it sounds tall into

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 2>you stand next to somebody. I stood next to Mark

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Eaton and I was like, that is one of maybe

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the biggest, biggest man I've ever stood next to. And

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 2>then I stood next to Yao Ming, and I go,

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:14.640
<v Speaker 2>that is the biggest man on the planet.

0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:17.720
<v Speaker 5>Because people go all Shack's bigger.

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, no, look at the pictures when Shaq is

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:23.760
<v Speaker 2>standing next to Yao Ming. Yao Ming is the largest

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 2>man on the planet. David in Arkansas, Hi, David, what's

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:28.880
<v Speaker 2>on your mind today?

0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 6>Good morning, gentlemen.

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 7>I just had a comment about the tournament expansion y'all

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 7>are talking about. You don't remember once upon a time

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 7>that n I two was depress stage tournament because they

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 7>took all the regular season conference winners and the NC

0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 7>Double A was having to take the automatic qualifiers. So

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 7>of course the NC Double A expands now they did everybody.

0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 7>So those regular season winners, yes, they are the ones

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 7>who truly truly deserve to be in the tournament. And

0:38:07.200 --> 0:38:10.320
<v Speaker 7>I just can't deal with the automatic qualified thing edging

0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:14.040
<v Speaker 7>out some of those teams that truly fully deserve it.

0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:17.240
<v Speaker 7>And I will also say that segment about the NBA

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 7>and the tanking is one reason I really really enjoyed

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:26.000
<v Speaker 7>your show. That was just hilarious listening to you guys.

0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Do that.

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm sitting here at work and I don't tell my

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:33.360
<v Speaker 7>director and I just that was wonderful. Thank you, gentlemen,

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:34.439
<v Speaker 7>and have a good day.

0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:35.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, thank you, David.

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 2>I guess he's complimenting on us being stupid trying to

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 2>figure out the lottery and we still didn't figure out

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:42.400
<v Speaker 2>the lottery.

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:48.320
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Dylan, I think stupid is relatable, you know. Yeah,

0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:51.879
<v Speaker 5>more people can relate to stupid instead of intelligence.

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 9>There's more stupid people than smart people out there.

0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:56.919
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Paul, you can call us not smart. I don't

0:38:56.920 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 3>think stupid is necessary. Well, we're in the not smart Catygo.

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, then I I'm sorry I labeled us stupid.

0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah somewhere above that.

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:06.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yes, Marvin.

0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 4>The NBA was just giving us a big word salary.

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:09.319
<v Speaker 5>I know, I know.

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I would like to have the commissioner on and say,

0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 2>you explain this, Okay, do you know? Can you I'm

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 2>going to guess the commissioner went, he strikes me, is.

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:21.320
<v Speaker 5>NYU?

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Then maybe God is MBA from Columbia or something like that.

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Paul, it's it's even better than that. He uh

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:33.120
<v Speaker 3>he hit a duke. Oh that's right. Yeah, and then

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 3>he went to University of Chicago Law School, which is

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:39.839
<v Speaker 3>like galactic. I know, jeez, he's a smart guy.

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:42.320
<v Speaker 5>University of Chicago got a nice campus.

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:45.440
<v Speaker 3>It does. It's on the South Side. It's gorgeous and

0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:48.520
<v Speaker 3>old school. The neighborhoods actually getting quite better right by

0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 3>the water, not far from the water. But it's an

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:54.680
<v Speaker 3>area that's not like tourist friendly historically in Chicago. But

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 3>it's a gorgeous campus and one of the top five

0:39:56.920 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 3>schools in the country.

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 5>Yes, it is. It's very difficult to get in.

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 3>A school where you go to study and ye, really successful.

0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 6>Yuck.

0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.839
<v Speaker 3>They do have a football squad though, they do. Yeah,

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 3>they had football like one hundred years ago. Well, no,

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:12.880
<v Speaker 3>they had the first Heisman winner, Jay Berwanger. Yeah, I

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.760
<v Speaker 3>went to the University of Chicago. Yeah, the Burwanger and

0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:18.239
<v Speaker 3>then they brought back football. I think that the Maroons

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:19.800
<v Speaker 3>maybe twenty years ago.

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 2>We would be the morons, right, and see what I

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 2>do with that time? Ben and Milwaukee? Hi Ben, what's

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:31.880
<v Speaker 2>on your mind today? Good morning, gentlemen.

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 6>First comment what he was talking about. You were entertaining.

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:37.760
<v Speaker 6>You had the conversation we have that we can't figure

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 6>it out. You usually do the fact you were just

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 6>today beautiful. Two comments about basketball. Do you think it's

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:48.480
<v Speaker 6>possible some coach with a great program, say Duke says,

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.399
<v Speaker 6>you can come here. You're going to sign a four

0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 6>year contract. You're going to stay, you aren't going to transfer,

0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:57.080
<v Speaker 6>You're not going to the NBA. You're signing a contract

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:59.239
<v Speaker 6>to play four years, or you're not coming.

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Here, they'll sign elsewhere.

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:03.319
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:06.080
<v Speaker 6>But if you really want to be on that great team,

0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't know who it is, but the teams aren't

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:11.840
<v Speaker 6>losing all the control that may give it the seventy

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:15.560
<v Speaker 6>six number. After Have we ever had a team, a

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 6>team in the bottom four lower than forty eight be

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 6>our champ. No, So this is just ridiculous. They want

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 6>it's equality. It's forty eight, you.

0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Like, and you know you're going to have kids. These

0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:31.439
<v Speaker 2>all these kids think they can play next level. They do.

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought I could. I still think I can. No,

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to go to Duke and say I'm

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:41.600
<v Speaker 2>going to go four years and I'm going to stay

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 2>four years.

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 5>Like you can't, you can't.

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:47.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, these contracts are a year, you know, each

0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 2>year and then renewed. But no, you're not going to

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:53.360
<v Speaker 2>go and have them say you can't go to the

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.880
<v Speaker 2>NBA or go to another school. We'll talk some hoops.

0:41:57.000 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Jamal Crawford will join us coming up on the way

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:00.799
<v Speaker 2>after this
